I personally want my PC to remain the same and keep its current state and functionality, if I leave it on for a month or for a year. If the OS decides to update or modify something on its own and break something in the process, I don't want the headache of troubleshooting it. Operating systems should always be treated as "mission critical" software, should never be turned into a casual test ground for the sloppy work of incompetent programmers, by pushing forced, untested patches and updates like Microsoft does with Windows.

It wasn't in reply to your post, sorry if it sounded like that. Some people seem to have the mindset of "newer therefore better (or more secure)" which irritates me.

Windows 10 is a malware itself. Not to mention that considering how they broke something with every untested patch since its release it's hard to say it's a more robust operating system either and Windows 11 isn't gonna be any different. Also, windows with rounded corners? I guess retarded millennials took over the UI design at M$. I'm using Win 8 pro with classic shell and it's okay for browsing the web and playing games. I've either removed or turned off most unnecessary features of it and it's become pretty lightweight, in fact it's currently running with less processes (about 25 in total) than my Win 7. Still has some annoyances such as the "store" which you can turn off but cannot be removed entirely. As long as you know what you're doing you can even use Win 2000 or XP assuming you can find all the drivers and programs you need. In terms of functionality, even Win 95/98 would be enough for most people. I would only use Win10, if the new laptop I bought came with it or if I had to buy a new PC or hardware to play a new PC game on Windows -which is super unlikely- and it didn't have drivers for Win 7/8.

"Don't Ask Questions, Just Consume Product and Then Get Excited for Next Products!" They Live!

It's really baffling how easily people have forgotten all the crap Bethesda has pulled in the past couple of years, I mean, besides their usual. Paid mods controversy, the money grab "special" edition with the same exact bugs of "legendary", Creation Club and Atomic Shop controversies (P2W microtransactions, inflated prices, ripoffs, fake discounts), the great canvas shortage of 2018, those plastic rum bottles, to name a few. Yet, Howard and Hines still have the audacity to show their faces in a public event to promote yet another crappy product of theirs, which will most likely create a similar amount of controversies if not more. But who is to blame here? Them or their audience?

"Another star system needs your help!" Besides being buggy and outdated as any other Bugthesda game, I don't know what exactly people are expecting this game to be. It's going to be another one of those save this and that, find this and that kinda game with a lot of retarded quests and you'll have your typical quest giver NPCs telling you that you are the only hope, the only one who can do whatever it is to do while sitting on their asses, munching on the same loaf of bread, "What are you doing here? Go save the galaxy!"... and you're gonna have to pretend you're doing something important in a completely static, lifeless Bethesda game world, just like you did in Oblivion, Skyrim, FO3/4. It's nothing but a waste of time and you most likely won't have the "porn" to justify any of that.

If it remained as a Game Pass exclusive, that'd be 9.99 x 12 x 10 bucks (1200 USD) if you wanted to keep playing it for a decade, like Skyrim, assuming M$ didn't pull the plug on GP and kept the monthly subscription fee the same.

@endgameaddiction It literally wrote "XBOX Exclusive" at the end of the presentation (21:30), but before that it also said Game Pass which included Windows 10 PC, which means it's going to be "Microsoft Exclusive" at least initially. So no Steam, GOG, or any other platform, very likely no Windows 7/8 either cause Game Pass only works on 10. This is what the official page says: As there's no mention of Steam or any other PC based platform (e.g. GOG, Epic, Origin), looks like you won't be playing it on November 11th unless you have a game pass subscription on XBox or on Windows 10 PC. I saw your post on LL a moment ago and not surprisingly that dickhead 27X was again attacking three different people in one post for no reason, as he does in every single fucking useless posts of his and he gets away with it, while the other dickhead Doctasax, who considered my "don't insult us" post was "insulting", replied right under that post and completely ignored it. There are a lot of fucktards remained on LL, I'm glad I no longer post there. Post a screenshot of the video I linked if you want to reply that idiot's "reading is essential" post. By the way, for all the retards out there, PC =/= Windows 10. As for modding, how moddable is this game going to be still remains to be seen. I personally don't expect Bethesda to drop modding completely unless they switch to a completely different engine, but from what I understand certain mods as well as script extenders, mod organizers and other utilities may not work on Game Pass games. https://www.nexusmods.com/news/14503 https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/the-version-of-skyrim-on-game-pass-is-moddablewith-limits/ I personally don't care, cause I have no intention to subscribe to Game Pass or use Windows 10. As I've said before, we've already played the best games most game devs can offer, things will get shittier and shittier in the future.

Made by Bethesda, so you don't need to wait 1.5 years to find out it's shit as usual, same goes for TES 6. Considering what they've done with TES and Fallout series, it would be really naive to expect a better game or even a good game from Bethesda in the foreseeable future. In other words, you've already played the best games of these series many years ago, which can also be said for other titles as well as other studios. I literally fell asleep in front of the monitor watching all the garbage shown in this presentation, guess it was when they started talking about Forza in Mexico or something and when I woke up I found out that "Redfall" wasn't the title for TES 6 as some people have been speculating but the title of a different game published by Bethesda, which was also shit.

You shouldn't update portable FF, just stick to whatever the version you downloaded. If you want to try out a newer version, extract it into a separate folder and use it separately. Copy and paste the following into a text file and rename the file as temp.reg, then right-click on it and choose 'Merge'. Not sure if anything else needed, but this should disable updates and update notifications. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox] "DisableAppUpdate"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox] "DisableAppUpdate"=dword:00000001 I'm currently using FF Portable 74.0 (always in private mode) with the tweaks I posted (plus some more config tweaks that I don't remember right now) and have no problems. Can't comment on the newer versions but this version (74) is far better than Chrome and Opera and is perfectly adequate for daily use. I try to use a minimal number of add-ons (uBlock Origin, h264ify, Auto High Quality for Youtube, Redirector, and one that I made for my own use which redirects Google searches) as every single add-on might pose a security risk and may introduce potential problems which I'd rather not deal with. Don't know what add-ons you are using but one of them might be causing the issues you're having. Also, if you can post the prefs.js file in the \FirefoxPortable\Data\profile\ folder I can compare it to mine and see if there's any problems (as long as it's version 74.0).

So that's the reason why he calls himself Dark 0ne.

Interesting, in all Firefox versions I currently have, videos start playing automatically and I don't recall changing the default behavior and allowing automatic video play. Perhaps you specifically disabled it as described in the link below or they changed the default setting in newer versions. I suppose I'd want videos to play automatically on Youtube cause I usually listen music on YT and disabling auto play might prevent my playlists from playing, which would be bad. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/block-autoplay I've googled the issue a bit and it seems like people using Brave have some issues preventing videos from playing automatically. I personally wouldn't bother with Brave, which seems to have a much smaller community compared to FF or Chrome, if/when you have a problem with the browser it might be rather difficult to find a solution for it. Why don't you give the portable FF 74.0 a try? If you don't like it with the tweaks I posted above you can simply delete the folder, there's nothing to uninstall. I really wouldn't recommend it if I wasn't happy with it. You can then change the default auto play setting and block it. You can still keep Brave and other browsers on your PC.

Wait, isn't that the normal behavior or am I missing something? Does the video open on the same page inside an IFrame or something?

You have good taste and high standards. It's funny that even though Skyrim has better graphics, better tools for modding, has massive total conversion mods such as Enderal, and unlike crappy old NWN, it even has an animation framework to do sex scenes and yet nobody has made or even attempted to make a mod like ADwR.

VN stands for Visual Novel. You can find plenty of shitty porn VNs for free at places such as F95 trying to pass as a "game" or at least that's what some idiots refer to them. You might come across some relatively decent ones with choice based branching stories as well as some minor role-playing elements with stats as well as some mini games and so on. Most of the ones I've tried were made using a Python game development toolkit called Ren'Py and either featured retarded hand-drawn anime characters or some crappy daz3d renders as images. Generally speaking, you just keep clicking to follow through a certain story and there's no game play or whatsoever. Some of relatively decent ones I've tried:

Don't know about this one, but browsing forums like F95 has taught me that people who make porn games in general, especially the ones who make "episodic" games, often have the nasty habit of "milking" the audience and because of that I can't honestly say that I'm surprised with this one's being offered as an EA game. Even if I was interested in it, which I'm not, I'd rather wait for the complete game before paying anything for it. The game play shown in the video is by no means looks interesting or fun for me, but I'm curious about the actual "porn" stuff in the game.

FF has been constantly getting worse for some time. I recommend using portable versions, which is what I've been doing for the past few years. https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable It doesn't install anything or mess with Windows registry or the AppData folder, it simply runs on its own folder and uses its own "profile" folder, which is why you can use multiple versions of FF at the same time (useful if you want to try out new versions of FF and new addons) and you can simply delete the version you don't like. I can help you configure it if you want to give it a go and make it look and behave like the older versions of FF, however, I'm still on 74.0. Unfortunately, portableapps.com doesn't keep older versions, but you can find them here : https://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/Mozilla Firefox%2C Portable Ed./ How to configure it: Download the executable, which is a self-extracting file, run it and choose a folder e.g. D:\FirefoxPortable\ or something similar. Copy D:\FirefoxPortable\Other\Source\FirefoxPortable.ini into D:\PortableFireFox\FirefoxPortable.ini Edit the following lines like below: DisableSplashScreen=true AllowMultipleInstances=true DisableIntelligentStart=true SkipCompregFix=true AlwaysUse32Bit=true Note: AlwaysUse32Bit=true is optional but running 32 bit might consume less memory. You can copy your FF profile from the current installation as described below: https://portableapps.com/support/firefox_portable#local_profile Here's a bunch of tweaks that I did: To restore the old green padlock: https://www.ghacks.net/2019/10/28/how-to-restore-the-green-lock-icon-in-firefoxs-address-bar/ To always run it on incognito mode: Create a shortcut for FirefoxPortable.exe and paste this into the "Target" section: D:\FirefoxPortable\FirefoxPortable.exe -private-window To restore the old style "about" page (or the initial FF screen) for private browsing: Create a folder as D:\PortableFireFox\\Data\profile\chrome\ and create a text file named as userContent.css then open it in a text editor and paste the following and then save. /* Private Window New Tab Page -- Logo Only */ @-moz-document url(about:privatebrowsing){ html.private div.showPrivate div.search-inner-wrapper, html.private div.showPrivate div.info { display: none !important; } } How to completely disable Firefox autoupdates and update notifications: Run regedit.exe. Go to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\. Right click on Policies and create a new key called 'Mozilla' and then inside the 'Mozilla' key create another key as 'Firefox'. Inside the 'Firefox' key, right click on the empty space on the right and create a new DWORD 32 Bit Value and name it as 'DisableAppUpdate'. Double click on DisableAppUpdate and enter the decimal value of 1. If you find this too complicated, create a text file and rename it as let's say, tmp.reg, open it in a text editor and paste the following and save it: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox] "DisableAppUpdate"=dword:00000001 Right click on the tmp.reg file and choose 'Merge'. There are a bunch of other portable browsers (Opera, Chrome etc.) on portableapps.com if you'd like to give it a try. I've also been using Thunderbird portable for quite some time. https://portableapps.com/apps/internet

Wasn't aware of this, but looks like a masterpiece has been ruined.

In regards to what I wrote in my earlier post above about Ridley Scott, apparently my impression of him was spot on. He is a highly commercial filmmaker who's in the business just for the money. He's got nothing important to say about anything and he obviously doesn't give a shit about the accuracy or the plausibility of the stories his films tell, mainly because that is way beyond his talent and pay grade. Also, the way he brags about Carl Sagan tells me that this guy is an ass with a huge ego, which, by the way, is something that can be easily read just by looking at his face. https://www2.bfi.org.uk/news-opinion/news-bfi/interviews/ridley-scott-alien-covenant-michael-fassbender

Can you recognize this song/melody without looking at the comments? BTW, yes, this one is the original.

You probably need to watch a few interviews with "normal" people before it recommends you the not so normal ones and judging by the comments under those videos I wasn't the only one.

Has YT recently been recommending you old interviews of people with mental disorders as well or am I just being a little "paranoid" about that? I decided to watch a bunch of them, they were mostly heartbreaking as expected, but this guy below seemed pretty scary. Makes me wonder how people like these can cope with life in this day and age in which even the "normal" people struggle to stay sane, and how many of them are among us pretending to be "normal"... (deleted) (deleted) What baffles me is that how does YT allow people or institutions to publicly share videos like these. Isn't there anything called "patient confidentiality" or something similar in the US? Why isn't this illegal? It should be. These kinds of "educational" videos should only be shown to professionals and students who intend to study/work in that field. Edit: Deleted the videos, unlike YT, I have a conscience.
