I'm waiting for the next Mass Effect 1-3, Oblvion, Witcher 3, whatever. Something impactful like that. I'm beginning to think the only way we'll get real games again is for the industry crash completely, flushing the DEI/woke shit down the toilet. If there's no free money for minimum effort, maybe the Commie cocksuckers will move on to the next grift.

GOG has a promo for many of the old classic RPGs. Fallout and TES is included. Dues EX and others I never seen. All at substantial discount. If you need a TES or Fallout classic (old game) and was wafting for a sale. Now is your time. Check it out1

Yep. The Unofficial Patch does the same thing; removing or changing content that WORKS as intended isn't 'patching', it's modding. What's fucked up is changing the scripting on some events and objects. Even if you revert his changes with an esp or by editing his esm the SCRIPTS are still fucked. It would take some investigating and file extracting to fix his 'fixes' but why should anyone have to? What he did was spiteful. There was some kind of restored content garbage he did that purposely reinstated Stormcloak dialogue to make them look like evil racists BUT he didn't restore the Imperial dialogue that made them look like power-hungry sociopaths. Again with the modding disguised as some kind of restoration.

LMAO!

I mean.. who doesn't use at least LAL in TESV? But to die on a hill for some shitty "creative vision" like that is pretty lame.

Yeah, always have. That's what was even more confusing. lol

Funny because it's true.

I don't know if I said this before, but Microsoft overpaid for Bethesda.

Is it me or does his voice remind you of

It will devolve into something right out of the movie Idiocracy. (2009?). Watch that and you will know what your future holds. "Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that." [1]

take my money

"If you open the map four times in vanilla Skyrim now, your game crashes to desktop."

Great idea. I have picked up several Bethesda games already. It is nice that I don't have to deal with their BS updates that break the games for some of the most popular games. I have them in Steam as well. So I can use the most current along with the older versions. However, I find myself using GOG more often now a days.

GOG is the new Steam! They got quite a good selection of "Good OL' Games" check those out. AS I understand it they not only sell them but have brought them up to current hardware standards so you don't have to use an emulator or have issues like you would have with the games that aren't updated.

I was looking for some choice games on GOG since there is a great sale. There are others beyond the RPGs. Sword and Spell, Action and such. Lots of sales going on. Don't know how they can afford to do this, but they are. Picked up a collection of Hit Man games for less than 6 dollars. Just saw some Tomb Raiders and not the super old ones (block version lol) 805 or more off. Lots of gamse I never even herd of as well. lol

He is an excellent example of promoting someone to uselessness. Why do companies do this? It's . No other way to describe it. Every place I ever worked at this happens. Someone manages to get promoted to the absolutely worst position for them to be in. Where they do the most damage.

I need to do that myself. Move from Steam.

I'm late to the party, but just started playing this yesterday. The enhanced version. I'm not sure if I like this game yet. More than likely I will not play this for long since some good mods are gate kept. Seems to be a trend ever since paid mods and that has ruined the fun of enjoying a game with mods.

I got the earlier Fallouts back in 2013 from GOG when Bethesda wanted them removed from GOG and they were up for free for 48 hours.

Thanks! I've been waiting for a GOG sale. I bought Skyrim SE. I had enough of Bethesda's game-breaking updates.

If you are looking for a deal and have Amazon you can check montly for free games that they offer. These games come from different providers like GOG but also Microsoft, EA and others. Claim it and download the game. I got most of my Fallout collection and some of the older TES games that way with GOG. One thing to note, they don't seem to recognize it as a game you own when you filter it. They still offer the paid game. Otherwise so far it seems to be 100 % the same game.

Another nutcase.

Speaking of 13 year projects with billion $ pricetags that have gone nowhere fast, Rockstar joins a growing trashheap of studios that staked thier financial future on another stab with the "girlboss" approach and absolutely shit writing. It's going to be fun to watch these smug cunts suffer the shitstorm of angry critics in their former fanbase while they come crashing down. Let the layoffs begin!!!!

I'm pretty sure they don't know what is going on at Nexusmods either.

I lost my drink with the "Stright white dragon" lol

Not sure what the fuck is going on on Nexusmods, but I went on earlier today and noticed I got a message. I went to check it and I had zero messages... I just checked my my email and apparently my account was suspended, but then it was uplifted? My account isn't suspended and I have no fucking clue what was going on. Maybe some Nexus fanboi reported me for some reason... This shit is all confusing.

You are well skilled with Linux. A bit of work and you can have pretty much everything you want. Install Debian and then choose the desktop you want and the various features. It shouldn't take you any longer than it takes to install Windows and all the drivers and software lol Customize it completely. Choosing a headless version of Linux and then building it from semi scratch will get you everything you can want. It is advanced for an advanced user. I mention Debian since that is the base of all the distros you talk about. You can do the same thing with Arch or even Fedora. Slightly different commands and options for packages but you can do it.

Hate to think what stuff like this will turn into in another decade, lol. Crazy eyes don't lie.

Trying to balance hardware requirements for heavy modding or running resource-intensive setups can be a total headache, especially when components start acting up out of nowhere. Figuring out whether a bottleneck is coming from the GPU, RAM, or power supply is always a guessing game. Has anyone here run into similar hardware quirks recently, or managed to troubleshoot a weird performance drop successfully?

There is some hope with eastern Europe gaming companies as well as Asian game compainies. Some hope, not enough to hold your breath but many of the reasonably decent games released recently was from one of those areas. One can hope that now since hundreds of millions of dollars have been lost from major companies in the past couple of years. Games so bad that they had to be recalled in the first couple of months, The recent purge from Microsoft and the purchase of EA from Saudi, this might be a change we need.

I completely avoid AAA games and focus on indie or AA games, but even most of these games suck. Gaming really sucks right now.

A Saudi-backed UAE corporation bought EA. I wonder how all that Bioware trans/they/them activist bullshit is gonna play out Reddit and BlueSky are in full panic mode since evidently all cultures are NOT equal afterall. Huh...dats funny.
