The Bethesda formula was worn out by Fallout 4, completely fell apart with Fallout 76, and now all future attempts to re-use it are going to be immediately dated.

Never in my life have I tried so hard to get any sort of enjoyment out of a game. But every slightly positive thing is marred by a bethesda formula that has not only been shattered into pieced but gets watered down more and more with every new game they make.
That ‘Wide as an ocean shallow as a puddle’ review really sums it up. Lots of fetch quests in cities that take you away from combat (I think in New Atlantis I went 10 hours without firing a gun) massive cities with tens of hours of scripted content but then lots of random dungeons and short encounters scattered across…
Harder to play and also just significantly less joyful. Menuing is not exploration. There is no “ooh whats that over there” impulse except when you’re literally within cities. Something is either placed directly on your lap, or you have to just pick a location from a menu and hope there might be something interesting…
The exact same crap with Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Secret Invasion. Someone writes something clever, the producer says Americans are too stupid to get it, they rewrite it into something insultingly simple that ends up being politically detestable, audiences hate it, the producers complain that Americans were…
fuck spez
Read my post again. As currently written, the headline is describing SAG-AFTRA’s demands, the ones that were rejected, as “beyond reasonable.” That implies that they were the ones asking for ridiculous things when in fact they were just asking to be treated like human beings. It’s AMPTP’s demands that were…
It’s wild to me how cartoonishly evil the studios are coming off here. They truly don’t care about how they come off and are presumably assuming that the general public either doesn’t care or will quickly forget. But man, what assholes.
LOL...
Because threatening their community is a great way to show that Reddit respects and appreciates its user base...
That leadership group at the top is making every decision to alienate their biggest users and that is going to ultimately kill the platform. There are news aggregators like Artifact that are starting to…
ive noticed my reddit usage has been going down this past month. i rarely visit the site much the last few weeks. i dont blame the mods or and admins, theyre both in really bad spots because this is all Spez’s fault. not giving third party apps enough time to switch over, lying about the Apollo guy, and now this…
More like they did it because they’re an asshole. Tricking someone to look at a Rick Roll video is “for the lulz”, giving someone $2500 and then sayin nevermind and taking it back is a bullshit move that should get that user permabanned, especially since they’ve done this multiple times, apparently.
The objection isn’t charging for it, it’s the rate they’re charging.
He was willing to pay for API use, just not a stupid exorbitant amount and on such a short time frame. (Like basically a month or so before it went paid.)
Landed gentry generally got money from what they did.
Nothing screams “I’m not bothered or riled up” like a wall of text about how funny it is to you. Reddit is (soon to be was) a platform run by its users, ya dink. All your presuppositions are wrong
Theres one little problem with this argument. The issue isn’t that Reddit wants to charge for it’s API, but that the amount they want to charge is astronomical and way higher than other websites such as Imgur, and the extremely short timeline they gave with pricing information.
The bandwidth itself is relatively cheap. At an average 1kb payload per request, Apollo’s 7 billion monthly requests add up to about $500 on AWS (where, as far as I know, Reddit is hosted). The compute costs of retrieving and assembling the request data are much harder to estimate but they’re going to be the bigger…
