Well, what Steam's been doing for the last fifteen years is pretty much a game rental service and people had no problem paying the full retail price for games that are tied to one account on a service which isn't guaranteed to work forever. I'm sure many people won't mind what EA's been doing either, might even love it more.

They have already removed skills from the game, and now they've reduced character perks into cards. "Here, let me give you one of my perks... Want some chewing gum as well?" Makes sense, right?

Like most other games today, their games aren't even worth pirating.

Looks like you'll get a random pack of "perk cards" and a chewing gum when you level up... Even leveling up now involves gambling. By the way, the perks, I mean, the perk cards are interchangeable, you can swap them up with something else later on. So, you no longer have to live with decisions you made earlier in the game. Fantastic isn't it? Just the type of thing the Millienial fans of crappy Beth games would like... I suppose all that was expected after the lunchboxes and shit in Fallout Shelter.

If and when I join a site/forum just to download things, I never make a single post more than what is necessary and don't even bother arguing about how the site is moderated etc. since I won't stay there for long. I joined LL and this forum simply to interact with people about games and mods. Mind you, in the early days of Skyrim modding there wasn't much to download anyway, it was just mod ideas floating around.

Ha ha ha! Practically describes CPU, no wonder he found it offensive.

Never liked that guy, he was in my ignore list like forever, yet I sometimes replied him as there was no one else left to argue with. What was the video about? Care to post it here? You know what, I've been using the Internet since the beginning and I've seen similar stuff happening in every single community I followed or participated in. Should actually give you enough reason to not bother with contributing to anything. Just take the stuff you want and go, like so many others do...

Continuity issue on p2.2: Glasses with rectangular frame on the floor turn into circular frame. Those skills and perks... Poor Wendy!

Not to mention... #ForeverBeta

Someone posted this on LL... https://www.pcgamer.com/fallout-76-wont-launch-on-steam/ Not that I like Steam but a Beth.net only game is a new low for Beth...

He's unable to realize that an adult forum isn't a kindergarten and deleting people's posts and locking threads, either for trivial reasons or for no reason at all, are both extremely disrespectful to the people who actively participate on the forum in a meaningful way. I believe he's just an example for how even a trivial power over others corrupts and gets abused. It's funny how he keeps mentioning how he pays for things from his pocket, one might think that's how he got the purple title... Yes, CPU is the worst, but he's not alone. Most mods there act very biased. They ignore things when they want to, or when it's convenient, even if something is quite literally against the rules. The last time I posted there I was given a "permanent warning" by DoctaSax for using a phrase something like "hey, don't insult our intelligence" when replying a guy claiming that "none of us knows what Creation Club is". Apparently this was enough of an "insult" that deserved a permanent warning! He's just milder version of CPU, literally a Bethesda fanboy who tries to silence everyone who speaks badly about them and once he dislikes you enough, he pays particular attention to your posts and looks for things he can abuse, the guy quite literally bears a grudge against people he doesn't like. gregathit is also pretty much a "trigger happy" moderator who likes to lock threads. He's once given me a warning for using the word "retard" and completely ignored the series of posts that lead to that. I never insult people for no reason, unless they insult me first and that was such a case, I may have deserved a warning for that, but I'm not sure the person who insulted me first received any warning, and I doubt he or she had. I haven't had any problem with other moderators, just these three. PS. Kendo's post sums things up pretty well. Edit: Our little rant about LL moderation might be breaching the "no external conflicts" rule, just saying...

No, I never log in to my account unless I have to.

I'm starting to think there is one... I mean, either that or they have a really persistent bug with their system, because it keeps recommending this Japanese pop song, even though I never listen to any Japanese pop songs, never randomly click on anything related to Japanese music. And I'm not the only one, just read the comments on the page, "always click on plastic love when it is recommended", "youtube recommendation girl", "Lmao who else was recommended to come here by YouTube??"... YT's been recommending this song for some reason for about a year and on several different machines, whenever I start to watch a string of music videos. Maybe this Mariya Takeuchi person knows someone at YT? I bet this will soon become a meme of some kind, like "rickrolling"...

Here's an instructional video about the "Grapefruit Technique"...

I suppose this may be a thing for people who have a fetish for bodily fluids... everyone else, just hold on to your stomachs! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6020083/Vagina-beer-goes-sale-Poland-essence-hot-underwear-models.html

I think when the switch to "game streaming" is complete (starting with the next gen consoles), most devs and publishers, incl. Bethesda, will either stop supporting mods entirely or will treat them as microtransactions within their games. The age of *free* modding (i.e. no cost, no control) is probably over, except maybe for a few indie titles. Bugridden Bethesda games will still sell millions of copies though... It's just that I won't be playing those or any other game with any kind of DRM and will never pay the full price at launch for any game.

As if that would change anything... I certainly agree with you about the moderators, but I also think that Ashal himself isn't much different. He was just very rude when I simply pointed out a problem with SexLab (with the proof), which is still there. "Take it to Ashal", they kept saying, if you had a problem with the actions of the mods, yeah, right, he'd probably ban you right away... for creating too much "drama"... PS. Not interested in voting, it's a pointless stupid poll and I don't care. I don't like that CPU guy either.

I'm sure the people at Bethesda hate hearing people praising FNV and recommending it over their Fallout game(s). Bet they would rather bury it along with all its mods if they could. Funny how some people still naively hope for another spinoff from Obsidian.

If this isn't enough evidence for video games becoming way too mainstream then I don't know what is... https://variety.com/2018/gaming/news/fortnite-tutors-1202892064/

*With a heavy Indian accent* "This is Mark Robinson..."

Boy, these Indian tech scammers are pretty funny... This guy has some other entertaining videos on his channel (e.g. scammer getting locked out of his computer while trying to scam the guy) in case you might want to watch more.

Not sure if this counts, but I'm beginning to like this guy for doing proper gaming journalism...
