Same. Even now when I see the bland, desolated wasteland screenies from Starfail, I amazingly still have no interest in even checking out the modding scene. Seems I at long last part company with Howardism. (About damn time I think!! )

Hell if they (actual modders and players that I know and trust) stated that the modding tools and shit was in good shape and that progres is being made in making the game playable etc. That would at least get me to look seriously at it. The most I looked at it was on my xbox when I had a couple of months of the microsoft subscription where I could download various games and check them out.

Guess what?  Can you guess how long I played it?
You might be supprised that I lasted until I got off the planet. (the tutorial section)  It was bad, but I was still stupidly hopefull. Once I got to space and saw the bullshit that they setup. I was done. This combined with all the modders that have been steadfastly working on previous Bethesda Gamebro games stating that it is impossible (or near impossible) to work on modding and so frustrating. Combined with Bugthesda totally revamping a game that has been out for years fucking up the modding scene so that they can better tool for their bullshit creation club sales. Haven't looked at it.

It is so bad that I have worked so hard to get my gaming machine back up and running that I have played old KTOR and other games and haven't even got the energy to start to mod any of the Bugthesda games. Keep telling myself I want to but when I sit down to actually start to go through the process of fixing the game so that it is mildely playable... I get frustrated and just fucking tired and go play another game that actually works out of the box.

Yeah don't do it. I still have a working FO4 before they trashed that with the update (and that modding scene is still a mess by the way) but it is just not worth the effort anymore. Go play something that only needs a few mods to work out instead. (What few of those there are. )

For new stuff I only focus on indies now. All the AAA's can spew out is woke trash with ugly characters. And a good portion of the indies too. Have to look out for those bait and switch tactics like BG3. Pre-release (friend of mine got it then): no woke trash. Release: full of garbage. No thanks.

I have actually started to look to the games that are an outrage to the left community. If they bitch about it likely it is at least a properly made game. Hogwarts the monkey game that just came out etc. hell even Robocop which was bitched about (not as much as it wasn't a AAA game ) was good for a decent amount of play through.

If it has woke, or better to indicated the more wokeness it has, the less good it is. the more crap it is.

Youtube's UI team:

- "Guys we must do something new with the UI immediately!"
- "But we've just rounded the corners of everything, what else can we do?"
- "Dunno, make the progress bar pink or something."

These people are some of the most useless people ever employed in an IT company.

Tomorrow is Friday... The 13th... Dun dun duuun!

The Peace , Love and Understanding party just tried to take another (literal) shot at Trump. This from the same people who were planting IEDs in Portland police stations during the pandemic riots. I'm not going to pretend Jan 6th never happened but c'mon. When is someone going to call these Radicals out?

The CIA just can't get a win.  Ukraine falling apart.  Failed regime change in Congo back in May, and the CIA spooks involved were caught and sentenced to death.  'Navy Seals' captured in Venezuela with weapons, explosives and communication equipment.  Two CIA-trained Salvadoran electronics warfare specialists arrested after leaving Ukraine.  Two attempts on Orangeman Bad.

Maybe they also have quotas for hiring? Even worse, promotions?

I wasn't impressed with the person in charge of the Secret Service during the investigational questioning.  Another agency with hiring quotas.

Someone sent Hezbollah a clear message. 

EDIT: And today their walkie-talkies started exploding.

No, this $30 Motorola radio just punctured my eardrum.

I guess everybody has to stop getting a thrill from the vibrations from their phones and pagers now.   LOL

So far I hear only the terriorist have been hit. That is pretty surgical strike IMO. Also nobody (goverments) seem to be condeming the actions. Private people are but not goverments. Likely they are jellious and wanting to figure out how they can do this themselvves

Really hard not to notice the hypocrisy here. If something similar happened to Trump you'd be fuming, I'm sure, must be the usual American exceptionalism. Unlike whoever you are getting your news from is telling you, civilians were indeed harmed.

Quote

But however sophisticated the planning, the reality is that many civilians were harmed as the pagers exploded. One video captured a pager exploding in a grocery store; others showed adults and children in hospital with severe penetrating traumatic injuries to their heads, bodies and limbs. Human Rights Watch, a monitoring group, said human rights law “prohibits the use of booby traps … precisely to avoid putting civilians at grave risk”.

Quote

Thousands of pagers simultaneously exploded across Lebanon and parts of Syria on September 17, 2024, resulting in at least 12 deaths, including at least two children and two health workers, and at least 2,800 injuries, according to Lebanon’s Ministry of Health.

Oh yeah, let's eliminate "the terrorists" by terrorism... welcome to the century of hypocrisy.
