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.
QuoteBut 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”.
QuoteThousands 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.

Which means it will be a total woke dumpster fire.
Pretty sure every single NPC in the game will be using "opposite gender animations".

The menu/title song sang by supposedly "Nord guys" is the worst one, I agree. I like the incidental music played when you're wandering around Falkreath and Riften. For whatever reason, the music makes me feel incredibly nostalgic towards the late 80s and early 90s. I'm sure there's a reason.
13 hours ago, Nessa said:I always have music off in games as no matter how good it gets, it gets old.
If the music is good and is varied enough, I turn down the volume, keep it at about 20%. I only turn it off if the game is really intriguing and the music is either shit or distracting, which is an extremely rare situation. If I get bored of the music I replace it with something else, or make my own soundtrack.
In many games however you can't simply turn the music off, no matter how boring it becomes, because music is used as an indicator of a many different things, such as entering/exiting combat, whether or not it's a safe zone etc.

I don't play woke games on principle even if I got it for free and I'd never pay for them. Trying to remove that sort of shit out of a video game using mods is an unnecessary chore IMO.
Spoiler13 hours ago, Nessa said:Yeah, that sounds disrespectful what Bethesda did, However, I'm not sure how I would deal with this kind of "OMG! They're pirating my stuff! It's Holocaust!" guy, if I wanted to play his music in a concert. Pretty sure he'd come up with some exorbitant demands if I asked him, even though he'd already been paid for it.
The women stuff, I don't buy that at all. More likely they were after him and he either said no or dumped them when he got a brain. (Geez the one woman is the very definition of woke freak.)
In general, I never buy what women say because their lives revolve around lying and deception, and yes, that woman indeed looks like a woke freak, or a pretty typical millennial weirdo, but in this case I have my doubts. She probably didn't get what she wanted from him, but he did, the usual shit.

I played the shit out of this game in the 90s, mostly just to listen to the music.
Don't be a fool, marshal! You're outnumbered!
(PS. I played the shit out of the demo only.)
Edit: Actually, I think I did play the full game, but not in the 90s, but much later, not sure if I ever finished it. I always remembered the taunts from the demo.
5 hours ago, vancleef said:It's one of the best Spaghetti western soundtracks I've ever heard.
As someone quite familiar with Italian film composers, this one sounds pretty generic, pastiche I would say, but I can understand how for someone who had never heard one before pretty sure it would have a major impact. Besides Morricone, possibly the most well-known one, almost all Italian film composers wrote at least one piece for some spaghetti western, most of which I've never seen, and there are plenty. Some of them are really good, the soundtracks I mean, although films are mostly crap. I've seen quite a bit of them but I'd imagine the only good ones that are really worth watching were made by Leone.
I recommend checking out this channel which I discovered last year. Lots of full soundtrack albums from various Italian composers, and some are spaghetti westerns. Or this one for Morricone stuff, there are many more ofc.

Jeremy Soule
I'm not sure how relevant it is to the topic, but just watched a video which really soured my opinion of him.
WARNING: If you watch the video you may no longer enjoy his music as much as you used to!
Spoiler YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
SpoilerGood video, just reporting what's already known and nothing more. The misconduct allegations may or may not be true but I wouldn't be surprised if they turn out to be true, cause he seems like that kind of a guy. Aside from that, the guy complains about piracy and goes on and scam people on multiple occasions. Not surprising, it's always the thieves who complain about thievery, no problems stealing from others, but if someone steals from them "OMG! IT'S HOLOCAUST!". M$ comes to mind. Goddamn hypocrites. Also (((Jeremy Soule)))... why am I not surprised? (((Epstein))), (((Weinstein)))... why not another one?

Just a reminder, you shouldn't use any mods/patches that fix the issue if you want to see it. I think I fixed it myself (assumed that it's a bug but maybe not), but I think unofficial patch also fixes it.
LOL found my own thread on LL.
Clearly, I'm having memory issues, need to replace my RAM.
From UESP:
QuoteAll of the generic miners present, both male and female, have "opposite gender animations" marked.
https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Unearthed
It's apparently not just the miners, some other NPCs from that DLC are affected as well as I mentioned in the LL thread, I had forgotten all about this bug, perhaps because I've been using the unofficial patch for quite a while.

Well TES6 looks promising. Pronouns in Starfield and now this.
At this point I'm beginning to think that the "queer miners" of Dragonborn DLC (i.e. the miner guys using female animations) was perhaps intentional.
On 9/12/2024 at 11:11 PM, Kendo 2 said:Honestly, other than laughing I have no interest in what they're doing.
I bet TES6 is gonna be a huge meme-fest in the worst possible way for Bethesda, might even force Todd to retire early. Hope I'll be around for the laughs.

Bethesda is on the butt-buddy list for Take This and Sweet Baby Inc. I was already fed the fuck up with their shit games after FO4. Now that I know they're DEI knoblickers I've moved from 'never will buy' to active campaigning against them. Anything after Skyrim 2011 is dead to me.
Is that the reason why they adopted "pronouns" and "body types"? Any video game with "pronouns" and "body types" instead of sex/gender will never get a penny from me, no matter how well made it is.

And a perfectly valid reason to not buy any other game from a developer who can't provide a solid, bug free foundation for its so called moddable game and forces players and modders alike to depend on assholes like this guy.

Nothing can be as dumb as NASApunk, the term the fuckwits at Bethesda came up with for Starfield.
Yeah I had forgotten about that one. One would find it really difficult to even use the words NASA and punk in the same sentence and yet these idiots used them in the same fucking word.
Okay, here's one I've come up with: Modpunk! Guys, I think I've found the name for my modding website! Don't steal it!

Legendary Edition, Special Edition, Anniversary Edition... after more than a decade, NONE of Arthmoor's "unofficial fixes" has been incorporated into the game, despite being a major Bethesda bootlicker... and apparently he's currently busying himself patching Starfield ... I find it highly cringy, tells you a lot about his personality, a spineless sycophant and a hypocrite... I've also realized the hate he's been getting for being a total jerk is significantly increased, and deservedly so. Anyway, yes, I'm really annoyed right now by one of his so called "fixes" (i.e. "this is what I think the game should be").

The name was derived from the term cyberpunk and was coined by author K. W. Jeter. Fringe societies or the concept of anarchy are often themes in these books, so yes, there can be a "punk" element to the genre.
Fringe societies, anarchy = punk

Russia's not the bad guy, we are and I'm ashamed.
The US has been "the bad guy" since WWII, everyone is well aware of that except the Americans. From South America to North Africa, to Middle East, to Europe, there's no where on the planet that they haven't stirred up to "protect" the so called "American Interests", which of course have nothing to do with the interests of the people of the USA, just the interests of the wealthy elite who owns the country. The rest has been useful as cannon fodder.

Millennial and GenZ creators can't help it. Generally speaking. they see through a modern lens and have to attach current year to whatever they're slapping together as 'entertainment'. They are morally and creatively incapable of NOT inserting their bullshit worldview.
One of the defining characteristics of Y is that they are completely detached from the past because they were completely bombarded with new things of increasingly shit quality (because of the consumerism of the 80s and 90s) while growing up and had no reason to look back and now they take all the superficial things from old stuff and insert their identity politics cause that's what they make them feel special and that's all they're capable of because their imagination is naturally limited to what they were exposed to while growing up and they have no memory of a world without television, computers and smartphones, etc. which is mostly true for the Z as well. They attach the word "punk" to whatever they come up with because that's trendy, that's a thing, not because they have a memory of the punk movement of the 70s and associate the thing with it. Most things they label as "punk" have nothing to do with it.
7 hours ago, Kendo 2 said:For the record 'dieselpunk' or '-punk' anything is lazy labeling. The first time I saw the term I thought they were talking about big rig Mac or Peterbilt trucks, like the Transformers or something. If they had called it '1940's retro scifi' at least I would have had a mental image of what it is.
It's mainly the Millennials and Gen Z who use the word "retro" in that way. Retro games, retro music etc. mainly referring to the 80s and the 90s. "Vintage" is another similar crap. What people use these kind of words for seems completely arbitrary to me. "Old games/music", "games/music from the 1980s" etc. are perfectly sufficient labeling, the usage of words like "retro", "vintage" is completely unnecessary, but again I guess people think that "it's cool and trendy".

You should ask the retards who keep attaching the word "punk" to whatever they found. I guess creating stupid sub-genres makes them feel special somehow. In their small minds this is probably formula:
Cyberpunk = (A dark dystopian world setting with a city decorated with neon lights) + (Something cyber e.g. cyborgish augmentation or VR/AR) + (Some rebellious punks that look like they're from the 70's)
What these idiots call as cp don't even have a common theme most of the time, as they lack one or more of the things in the formula. I personally don't give a shit about how they categorize books and movies in their stupid heads. To me the only meaningful categorization is "sci-fi". Whenever I hear about "something-punk" I quickly realize that it's some millennial shit and steer clear of it.
On 1/20/2021 at 6:43 PM, bjornk said:Do you know what perfectly fits this formula? Fallout.
A dark dystopian world setting with a city decorated with neon lights -> New Reno or New Vegas
Something cyber e.g. cyborgish augmentation or VR/AR -> Besides Pipboy/VATS, which is AR, Fallout has all sorts of augmentations/implants.
Some rebellious punks that look like they're from the 70's -> Fallout, as a game inspired by Mad Max, has some literal punks in it (e.g. female punks).
Not to mention that it has Vault-Tec as an evil corporation.And guess what, some retard came up with a new sub-genre for it right out of his ass and called it "dieselpunk"... how desperately pathetic.

May have something to do with certain items and their incorrect (?) "physics properties" and the way they interact with the game world perhaps? Doesn't explain why they behave differently inside and outside of particular cells though.

It's -in your face- woke garbage with annoying characters, overrated, outdated, just like its predecessors and similar Bioware crap. Personally, don't care, won't ever buy, not my kind of game.

Just a few other people reporting the issue without realizing what's going on...
QuoteRather then dropping in front of me, the items literally drop from my character, then go flying(And in a bucket's case, causing damage).
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/615803-the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim/66657924
QuoteAfter updating Skyrim to 1.9.32 and starting aa new game, I've noticed, that items dropped from inventory do not appear at the crosshair mark position as usual. Instead, they drop directly at the character's feet, often flying all over the place.
https://forums.nexusmods.com/topic/1128308-inventory-drop-glitch-bleak-falls-barrow/
The issue has nothing to do with your FPS above 60 or v-sync not enabled etc., if that was the case you'd experience the same problem everywhere, not in particular locations.

The "more equals" are often the wealthy and powerful, but in this particular case it is the women. When laws are not applied equally to everyone, they are bound to create injustice, it's not rocket science. This is also the same mentality that tries to fight discrimination by discriminating people, not realizing positive discrimination is still discrimination. In any case, what's been going on in the guy's private life is completely irrelevant to the topic.
THE CRINGE-WORTHY INTERNET THREAD
in Off Topic Talk
Posted · Edited by bjornk
If 7 of the 8 billion people on the planet suddenly died today you'd probably still find it amusing and post "memes" about it, after all you don't give a fuck about your own kind unless they live in the same country as you. In fact, you can probably maintain that level of delusion until it affects you personally. But before it comes to that, we would hear you talk on and on about bloody refugees from those places you should've given a fuck about.
I neither care about Trump or Biden or any American politician, what I care about is the consequences of your choice. Why not vote for someone who wouldn't lead us to WW3? The problem is the American people, not the idiot politicians they keep voting for.
I'm afraid this is no longer a meme thread, it has become a thread to vent and has been increasingly politicized since the past few years, despite this:
