Skyrim is the best overall experience. It’s the most flexible in play style, especially with robust mod support. It’s also the only one that actually is fun to play in third person mode.

Morrowind would be second. The world is probably the most interesting. It does feel like you spend almost as much time fighting the game as enemies, combined with a lot of busy work makes it more nostalgic than fun.

Oblivion is a weird middle ground, it’s mechanically clunky in a lot of ways like Morrowind, but it doesn’t have the consistent charm. Shivering isles may have the best quest line, but it’s not enough to save the whole game.

Those terms have meaning the the FDA, they just don’t mean what most people think. Free range means no cages and access to outdoor area, usage or grazing isn’t required. Cage free, similarly just means no cages in the shelter, the chickens are still 100% indoors. Grass fed is no longer controlled.

That discussion has largely been had. There’s the no AI camp that irrationally hates anything that even sounds like AI use. There’s the fanatic camp that thinks AGI is basically here and everything will be AI. Then there’s those that recognize AI is a useful tool, and it’s not going away.

The no AI ever group is large and very vocal. It’s probably a plurality and maybe a majority of people. Until that group shrinks there won’t be any meaningful dialog about acceptable AI usage.

Seems like they can probably mark gta v as playable at least if it can make the top 50

Nintendo has a lot more pure Nintendo fans that don’t really care about games as a whole. There’s also a pretty good emulation scene for everything outside the current generation. Nintendo is also much smaller than Sony or Microsoft, they had the first implosion with the WiiU. They already with through a FAFO cycle and now Microsoft and Sony are learning that.

It probably unpopular here, but I think that starfield first was a good idea. It let them build and test a full game after changes to the engine. The feedback the mixed results can help make ES6 better if they actually listen to it.

You would think cops would welcome additional opportunities for bribes.

If someone wants to make an image for free without AI and propose a replacement, then it’s maybe worth voting. Replacing it for the sake of replacing AI is dumb. This is the perfect use for an AI image, it doesn’t really matter what it is and there’s no real budget to actually commission something.

Putting a real general in charge of it probably helped too.

I’m only in act 2. So far it’s been pretty good. It does a pretty good job of getting the 40k feel while also being approachable if you don’t really know much about it. It feels like there is some replay value for different play styles and team compositions.

It’s not really a negative, but because it’s 40k the alignment system is a bit weird. It’s imperium good (evil), chaos (extra evil), and iconoclast (less indiscriminate killing).

People who think that something being fiction means there are no rules and anything goes are the most annoying people to discuss with.

So far just dlc for games I already own. Maybe I’ll get Slime Rancher.

It’s not so much that the games are bloated (they are), it’s that many are incredibly gated as well. There’s always been super grindy and bloated games, but the degree it’s done today is just different. You can’t just spend two weeks putting in 100+ hours into a modern game and complete everything. It’s no longer kill a million mobs to get this achievement, it’s kill 100 mobs max a day until you kill a million. It’s do this phase and wait a month for the next phase.

Diablo 2 is honest and open about it’s grinding, modern day games aren’t.
