There’s no way Google would voluntarily sell Chrome. Unfortunately for them, they might be forced to sell Chrome.

Can you give one example where Bethesda has actually attacked the modding community?
- Comment on OpenAI wants to buy Chrome and make it an “AI-first” experience 2 days ago:
They don’t want to buy the browser. They want to buy the brand and the users. Chrome makes up over half the browser market. Think of all the data they could extract from Chrome. It would cost significantly more to fork chromium and grow the user base to a point where they could extract anything valuable from them, and that’s assuming they’d be successful enough to make it happen.
- Comment on The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered - Official Trailer 3 days ago:
I haven’t see how the level scaling works, but I’m assuming it works exactly like OG Oblivion for two reasons. First is that the underlying game logic is OG Oblivion and second, whether you liked it not, the level scaling was very much in the DNA of Oblivion so it kinda has to be there to feel like Oblivion.
And so far from what I watched others play, the world is still as barren and boring as OG Oblivion. Personally I’m going wait for Skyblivion because the barren world was the main reason I didn’t enjoy Oblivion.
- Comment on The Oblivion remaster is real: Doubters in shambles as developer Virtuos accidentally leaves the door open to trailer screenshots and assets 6 days ago:
This is all I’ll address because it sums up everything I think about what you’ve said so far.
My opinion is that the store page should say “This title is not eligible for a refund due to a reasonable person knowing better than to buy this new”
If that’s a controversial opinion, please feel free to join the dumpster fire below and defend the billion dollar company.
You think it’s okay to take away consumer rights to, I suppose, stick it to a billion dollar company. And anyone disagreeing with you (as in anyone thinking consumer rights shouldn’t be taken away) are defending a billion dollar company. There’s only one (technically two) thing to say about your statement and that’s: “It’s stupid and it’s wrong”. There’s no reason to give and no arguments to make because it’s just that fucking stupid. It’s just wrong.
And that’s my opinion of pretty much everything you’ve said.
And just a final addendum. I haven’t downvoted you once (nor have I upvoted anyone else) because I don’t really give a fuck about upvotes and downvotes. But I’m not at all surprised you feel the need to bring up something that fucking petty.

Just out of curiosity, do you also shit on New Vegas? Because it’s technically a Bethesda game that was made after Oblivion, which according to you makes it dog shit.

While you’re entitled to your opinion, don’t forget that it just your opinion and it’s subject to your own biases. And that’s your comment, an opinionated take based on the belief that anything Bethesda touches is shit. I know better to try to change your mind. You being blinded by your vitriol towards Bethesda is not my concern.
My message is very simple and I’ll preface it with the obvious. Don’t buy anything until you’ve read the reviews. The actual people working on the remaster/remake are not Bethesda. That means that just because Bethesda is shit doesn’t mean the game will be shit. It might be good. But we don’t know what it will be until it releases and reviews are out, so don’t instantly dismiss it simply because there’s a Bethesda logo somewhere.
- Comment on The Oblivion remaster is real: Doubters in shambles as developer Virtuos accidentally leaves the door open to trailer screenshots and assets 6 days ago:
I think it’s also worth remembering that this remaster isn’t being made by Bethesda. Virtuos are the ones remastering/remaking the game and their portfolio is pretty much exclusively ports, remasters and remakes. I don’t know the details of how much they’re using Unreal Engine (the leaks state that the game will be running on UE), but I think that pretty much rules out Bethesda’s involvement beyond IP consultancy because they don’t have UE experience.
I’m all for being critical of the shit Bethesda puts out, but I’m not going to dismiss someone’ work simply because the name Bethesda is attached to it.
- Comment on Almost 19% of Japanese people in their 20s have spent so much money on gacha they struggled with covering living expenses, survey reveals - AUTOMATON WEST 1 week ago:
And if we were all smart people we would have far less laws. Sometimes laws protect us from ourselves. Anyone who has experience with addiction knows how hard it is to just stop. Instead of blaming people for their inability to stop we should emphatize and understand that this needs an intervention. If these predatory practices were illegal those people wouldn’t need to stop themselves because they wouldn’t be put in that situation in the first place.

How about you separate the author from the works? You can think her books were great, but it doesn’t change that she’s extremely bigoted.
- Comment on Skyblivion fan project lead reacts to Oblivion remake news with "all love and no hate" 1 week ago:
From what I’ve read it’s not actually made by Bethesda, it isn’t using the creation engine and there are gameplay changes.
That information turned me from not caring to checking out what people will say when it releases.
- Comment on PC gamers spend 92% of their time on older games, oh and there are apparently 908 million of us now 5 weeks ago:
I don’t think it’s even necessarily that the GPU pricing has ballooned. I think the main reason is that that every new game has to compete with pretty much every other game ever made. For example I enjoyed Death Stranding and I am interested in Death Stranding 2, but I’m probably not getting in on launch because there’s a big chance I’ll probably start playing Stardew Valley for the n’th time, because I feel like that’s what I want to play. I’ll probably play DS2 when I get the Kojima itch.

- Comment on Fucking leeches 1 month ago:
Taking $900 a month from your friend just so the friend could have a roof over their head sounds harmless? And your defense of that action is “at least he’s not taking $1400-$1500”?
How about you Venmo me $900 every month and in return if someone comes asking to Venmo them $1500 you can tell them you already got a better deal? Does that sound fair or do I need to own property to make it seem fair?
- Comment on Fucking leeches 1 month ago:
No. Here’s what he could’ve done to not be a leech.
- sell the property
He no longer uses it so selling it to someone who would use it would be the best option. But maybe he’s sentimental about the place or has some other reason to keep it. Then it’s better if he “rents” it out.
- Get tenants but have them only pay for the utilities they use,no rent is paid.
He chose to keep the house, the mortgage on it is his responsibility not the tenants. Even if he just asked the tenants to cover the mortgage that is already leeching because you’re not using your money to pay it off, you’re using someone else’s. Once the mortgage is paid off he has a property he didn’t pay for while the people who paid got nothing. But let’s say he can’t afford to pay the mortgage but he still wants to keep the house?
- have the tenants pay thy mortgage as well, but nothing more.
Again, it’s his property whatever patch work it requires it’s his to cover. He’s already offloaded his mortgage to the tenants, why demand even more from them? But let’s say the tenants are scum of the earth and every day they tear the property apart, having the also pay to cover the repairs would reign them in.
- give back the money he took for repairs but he didn’t use for repairs.
He’s offloaded the mortgage on the tenants. He’s offloaded the maintenance cost to the tenants. The least he could do is give back the maintenance money he didn’t use. But he doesn’t even do that.
And yet, according to you, we’re supposed to think of it as him doing the tenants a favor because he’s not ripping them off more? Do you think a wife beater not beating his wife every chance he gets is doing the wife a favor? Do you think the slave owner not whipping their slaves is doing them a favor? Absolutely asinine.
- Comment on Fucking leeches 1 month ago:
He could’ve given the rest money back to his friend after all the repairs were done. He chose to keep that money.
- Comment on Fucking leeches 1 month ago:
Hundred years ago it was normal to beat women of they were out of line. Millenia ago it was normal to own slaves. It’s also “normal” for the US Healthcare to screw over people who need Healthcare. Just because something is “normal” doesn’t mean it’s somehow right. Slavery was normal but then different societies over time understood that slavery is not right and it stopped being normal. Beating women used to be normal but over time we learned that’s also not right and it stopped being normal. I don’t know about you but I don’t think ripping people off is right. However ripping people off has been normalized for capital owners (including land lords).
Nobody should be wishing for his demise (compared to Blackrock and its kin, who I do think should cease to exist), but at the same time he shouldn’t be padded on the back for not ripping off his friend as much as he could’ve. What he did shouldn’t be normal.

Of course they don’t. Free market (how theory imagines it) is not pro capitalism. Competition is counterproductive to the profit motive, which is why large corporations look to kill the competition whenever they can.
- Comment on Eurogamer: we can't recommend the PC version of Monster Hunter Wilds 1 month ago:
Rise isn’t a good for comparison because Rise was designed for the switch. Or course it’s going to run exceptionally well on the Deck. It probably runs better than World, because World was designed for X1/PS4.
- Comment on Hope you weren’t planning to play PhysX games on Nvidia’s new 50-series GPUs 2 months ago:
You never know when old games just don’t work. For example I recently tried to play deus ex mankind divided. I have new hardware but I had to play on medium settings because anything higher would start killing performance despite the game being 5 years older than my hardware.
I wouldn’t be surprised if some older games ran like shit on the 50 series cards whenever physx is concerned.

- Comment on Mastodon is working to add the controversial 'quote posts' feature | TechCrunch 2 months ago:
As others have already pointed out, you can literally get the same result by using images as quotes. People could’ve been shitty even without the quotation feature because it’s not the feature on the platform that makes it shitty, it’s the people on the platform who decide to use it for a shitty purpose.
Not implementing a feature because morons may abuse it is not justification for not implementing a feature. It’s like saying we shouldn’t be able to reply to comments because someone might use that feature to directly send you hateful comments. Now, if the features primary purpose is (or primary use case ends up being) to use it negatively, then sure it shouldn’t be implemented. But I don’t see how quotation falls under this exception. In my eyes quotation is a net positive.
It doesn’t turn the platform shitty and if there are good moderators it also prevents assholes from trying to turn the platform shitty.
- Comment on How does this pic show that Elon Musk doesnt know SQL? 2 months ago:
Hypothetically you could have a separate “previous names” table where you keep the previous names and on the main table you only keep the current name. There are a lot of ways to design a db to not unnecessarily duplicate SSNs, but without knowing the implementation it’s hard to say how wrong Musk is. But it’s obvious he doesn’t know what he’s talking about because we know that due to human error SSN-s are not unique and you can’t enforce uniqueness on SSN-s without completely fucking up the system. Complaining about it the way he did indicates that he doesn’t really understand why things are the way they are.
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 2 months ago:
Tech savvy would be to start your instances. Going through the process of picking an instance and registering there is no more tech savvy than registering with facebook or any other online site. The complexity keeping people away isn’t technical, it’s domain specific. People don’t know how to choose an instance because they’re not given enough information to actually tell instances apart.
- Comment on hexbear.net comically loses its domain name 2 months ago:
I have a more optimistic outlook. If they get spread out there’s a higher chance of them getting out of their echo chamber and becoming a normal person. And let’s be real, the worst of them will go into Lemmygrad to continue their circlejerk and thus won’t bother the wider fediverse. And the worst of them probably already have alts on other instances where they stir up shit.

- Comment on For No Reason in Particular Here's a Bunch of Games Where You Kill Nazis 2 months ago:
Saboteur is one of those games I’m afraid to replay because I have such vivid memories of it being really fun and I don’t want to lose that.
I already somewhat ruined Morrowind with modern hardware doing distant rendering. Back in the day Morrowind had perpetual fog and you couldn’t see far, so all the places felt so far apart. It felt like a journey going from Vivec city to Ebonhart. But modern hardware has no problem with distant rendering and now I can see that I could spit from Vivec City to Ebonhart. It’s no longer a journey, it’s just an annoyance because “it’s right there”. The magic of traversal is lessened because things no longer feel like they’re far away.
And that’s what I’m afraid of, that some illusion of Saboteur gets shattered and with it the game will also feel lesser than it was.
