That last point is why I couldn’t play Fallout 4. My son was kidnapped, my spouse was killed, and I need to find out who did it and where they are! Right after I save a library, build a town, and solve some detective mysteries, I guess.
The difference being the PS4 wasn’t backwards compatible. The remaster was intended for people who hadn’t and couldn’t play the PS3 version.
PS5 is backwards compatible, making this a little more bullshit.

Walmart credit card. They don’t need to estimate when you willingly provide it.
That’s why the move is to edit all of your comments into jumbled nonsense and then delete them.
I agree that it’s got to be how young Lemmy skews. No one who has ever bought alcohol at a self-checkout has said, “This is so quick and convenient!”
There’s also a huge risk of this being misapplied. I remember way back in PS2 days, I was struggling with a jumping puzzle in the original God of War so much so that the game jumped in with a prompt offering to turn down difficulty. But turning down the difficulty in God of War reduces combat difficulty, nothing to do with the huge friggin’ hole I kept falling into from mis-timing jumps.
Honestly, every game I’ve played that offers scaling difficulty based on performance has been because I sucked at the platforming parts that they couldn’t make easier with a setting. Maybe it’s a hint that I should stop playing platformers.
For the last 40 years or so, Republican voters have mostly been single-issue voters. They care very passionately about one thing, and will let almost anything else slide as a result. Being in favor of cable fees doesn’t matter as long as they’re anti-abortion. Being in favor of cutting social welfare programs that those very voters rely upon is fine as long as they’re anti-trans.
For the most part, each voter only cares about one or two specific things, and the whole picture doesn’t really matter to them.
If the current The Day Before drama is anything to go by, Hello Games could’ve done a lot less than turn NMS into a decent game.
That’s a bad take. The case actually affirmed business judgement rule: the idea that the guy running the company knows how to run it better than the shareholders. It’s part of why post-war America is considered the golden age of American manufacturing: Publicly traded companies invested in their employees and wages exploded across the board. A 100 year old court decision isn’t the primary driver on a problem that’s really only developed in the last forty or fifty years.
My BIL is a Catholic Libertarian. Almost forty and still lives with Mom and Dad, so he never had the brush with reality that your friend went through. He thinks he’s politically savvy and always wants “civil debate” with me, but he’s utterly insufferable.
I’m not looking forward to Thanksgiving next week.
Future Me has more experience and wisdom than Present Me. There’s no reason I should do anything when such a better-suited candidate will inevitably emerge.
I’d love to, but the text fades out after the first paragraph and is replaced with “This post is for members only.”
Ironically, this is pretty much how McMahan got Lower Decks. He used to write the TNG Season 8 Twitter, where he’d post fake synopses for his imagined episodes. It was almost always a fairly serious A-plot and a hilariously bananas B-plot.
We can only hope one of this week’s aliens is a giant eyeball with its penis hanging out.
Historians: All histories are fiction. Objective truth is illusory. Every narrative is the subjective product of its author and context, with no tangible bearing on reality.
Historians watching any film remotely connected to their field: Well that never fucking happened!
This. I bought a 32oz Nalgene when I was in high school. Lost it on a camping trip in my early twenties, and replaced it with the exact same one. I’ve had it and used it daily for over 15 years now.
After WotC sold their own official proxies in those anniversary packs, I gave up on official prints. Now every deck costs me $22 plus shipping.
There can’t possibly be that many dead bodies falling out of coffins every day. And there’s no way one in every five of them are nude.
Seconding Player Piano. Both it and Cat’s Cradle were almost explicitly based on his time with GE, and they’ve both gained more cultural relevance over the years.
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is coming out next year.
