  1. In a video called "Fallout's 25th Anniversary" there's not even a single mention of the creators of the original game, Cain, Boyarsky, Anderson or Fargo. How disrespectful.
  2. The idea of "folding space" had already been around long before this movie. For instance, it was already in Dune novel (1965) and in many other sci-fi books . The idea originates from the idea of wormholes obviously. Traveling through warmholes is pretty much identical to "folding space". In the novel Contact (1985) by Carl Sagan, there's a network of these wormhole nodes that the MC travels through, which were built by an unknown ancient alien race or something (which is pretty much the idea that the Mass Effect series copied). It's all total BS and a fantasy, just like time travel.
  3. I was really interested in this film back in the day when its trailers were being shown on tv, I thought it would be a good sci-fi film, but I didn't have the time to watch it then. A few years later my sis bought the DVD, I watched it then and I didn't like it at all. It's a very poor film as a sci-fi and just a cliche horror movie with stupid supernatural, religious garbage. Never bothered to watch it again, still have the DVD somewhere.
  4. Underrated, underappreciated, misunderstood film, certainly much better than today's garbage. Had bought the DVD and the soundtrack CD right after watching it and it's been more than two decades now since I last watched it. While I find it too depressing to watch again (I still occasionally watch clips from it and listen to certain parts of the score), I also think it was too optimistic in the typical Spielberg fashion.
  5. I love the original score by David Raksin.
  6. Thank you, @Kendo 2. I can see that they immediately jumped to denial mode, except, whenever I'm being redirected to the recaptcha page, I simply change the user agent string and refresh the page and voila, no more recaptcha! How does that happen, I wonder? Below are some of the example user agent strings that either pass the recaptcha or are caught by it. For IE11 etc. CloudFlare recaptcha page displays a message that says "Your browser is out of date!", so that's different and that's not the issue here. Below are some of the user agent strings that are redirected to recaptcha page... and these ones are some of the ones that are not... And by the way, I have an old version of Opera (Chrome based) as well as a older version of Firefox, neither of them is caught by recaptcha, like never ever. I don't really know when this issue has started, cause I had not visited that site for months, but as far as I'm concerned, the issue has been going on for more than a week. Sometimes the automatic browser checking thing appears instead and I have no issues then, but when it doesn't show up, I'm usually redirected to the recaptcha page. Note 1: Anyone can try these out by themselves, all you need is a user agent switching add-on. Note 2: There are many other sites that I visit daily use Cloudflare for DoS protection, but the issue I described above only happens on Loverslab.
  7. This has really pissed me off which is why I'm posting about it here. After numerous time consuming experiments, I've figured that a certain "genius" at LL blocked certain user agents (i.e. browser versions) through Cloudflare and if you're accessing LL using a browser version in that list i.e. Firefox v90, v99 etc. then you're being redirected to the recaptcha page all the time, which is super annoying as it doesn't even work most of the time. If I change the user agent string to another browser or a different version of Firefox everything works fine, so it's not blocking certain IP groups or anything like that, just certain user agent strings are being blocked which is really stupid. I can't post about this there so I'd appreciate if some of you let them know about this shit.
  8. Howard apparently talked about it back in November, 2021. https://www.windowscentral.com/todd-howard-starfield-players-choose-pronouns
  9. As I have said before, you've already played the best games that these developers could ever make. There won't be a better game in the near future and as you can clearly see from the examples such as Bethesda, Bioware, CDPR etc., they've already proved that they can't even make more of the same anymore. Things will only get worse in the future, but besides the lack of imagination and talent of game developers, in the near future you'll realize that computer games aren't as enjoyable as they used to be. Loot boxes, items shops and other awful monetization schemes in every game, pesky always online DRMs, the lack of a decent operating system that isn't a malware/spyware, inflated hardware prices and so on, all of which are already here and will only get worse. Not to mention that the effects of climate change which will severely affect your life in every possible way, will make you reconsider if "gaming" is a viable hobby anymore. It's quite probable that some of you won't be playing TES 6 or Fallout 5, if they are ever made. You think this is all hyperbole? Come back and read this post again 10-15 years later, if this forum is still here that is.
  10. Have the challenge questions (e.g. What's you favorite game/team?) been removed while logging in? I've logged in and out three times to test it and I've been asked any.
  11. 5. No gender selection. I'm surprised no one seems to have noticed that. You can only select a "body type", a la CP 2077. All praise Bethesda, for they are kind enough to give us the opportunity to create our non-binary, gender-fluid tranny characters that we've all been longing for!
  12. Nazeem should've been an assassination target in the DB quest line.
  13. My favorite Skyrim voice actors are: 1. The slightly grumpy old man voice by Jim Cummings (Festus Krex, Vignar Gray-Mane, Olfrid Battle-Born, Dengeir of Stuhn, Donnel, Elgrim, Froki, Fultheim, Gunnar Stone-Eye, Guthrum, Herluin Lothaire, Logrolf the Willful, Nurelion, Rogatus Salvius, Sergius Turrianus, Skald the Elder, Styrr, Thadgeir, Ulfr the Blind, Wilmuth, Wuunferth the Unliving, etc.) 2. The haughty male and female High Elf voices. I guess that's because they often say something pretty funny.
  14. Written by the very same brainlet most likely. A "surface ladder" must be something very unique and different than a regular ladder that takes you to the surface... What quality control? Isn't that a Bethesda game? Imagine hearing that line while trying to role-play as a Forsworn... Just checked the voice actor of this Nick (Valentine?) guy, he is the same guy who did the voices for Madanach, Belethor, Mercer Frey, Enthir, Clavicus Vile, Barbas and probably some others. One of the most annoying voices in Skyrim IMO. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Russell Edit: Speaking of Skyrim voice actors, I was never able to find out who did the voice for the Augur of Dunlain, but I'm pretty sure he is the same guy who did the voice for Malacath in the quest The Cursed Tribe. Any ideas?
  15. The new Superman comes out as bisexual in an upcoming comic https://edition.cnn.com/2021/10/11/entertainment/superman-comes-out-bisexual-jon-kent-cec/index.html "National Coming Out Day"...
  16. https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2021-09-25-hitman-gog-release-sparks-drm-row-review-bombing-accusation They apparently added the following warning later on, but it clearly is in conflict with "No online connection required to play" and is certainly misleading. https://www.gog.com/game/hitman_game_of_the_year_edition https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2021-10-09-gog-pulls-hitman-from-its-own-store-admits-it-shouldnt-have-released-it-in-its-current-form https://www.pcgamer.com/gog-says-they-shouldnt-have-released-hitman-on-their-store-removes-it/
  17. Looks like this could be the sexy succubus waifu game you've all been waiting for... Made in Mother Russia by the looks of it... Наслаждаться! The boring part... The part you'll find most interesting... and in more detail... The Game : https://www.shewillpunishthem.com/ https://www.humblebundle.com/store/she-will-punish-them https://store.steampowered.com/agecheck/app/1213740/ The Mods: https://www.nexusmods.com/shewillpunishthem https://www.moddb.com/games/she-will-punish-them/mods
  18. Maybe what he really meant by that was taking the surface elevator (i.e. the thing that elevates surfaces) to the surface (that needs to be elevated).
  19. Now, you might be wondering what else they could possibly "woke-ify", after introducing "dark elves" (imported from Africa) in Amazon's new LoTR, or the new Foundation series with gender swapped characters in a melanin-rich universe all in the name of forced "diversity", well, here's your answer... It'd be a shame if it doesn't feature genderfluid dragons...
  20. A few of them may be real, but clearly not all, like this one for instance. Clearly signed up just to be able to post the URL of an escort service in a random thread. Do you occasionally cull these kinds of "members" or are they still counted as such? Don't know if the software supports it, but maybe you should introduce a post limit before allowing new members to post URLs. For instance, a five post limit would help filtering out the spammers.
  21. I wonder how many of these so called "members" are just spammers and bots.
  22. Bethesda: Let's make the Falmer totally blind! Bethesda: Let's also give them bows and arrows... *Falmer cannot detect the player even when the distance between them is less than a meter* *Falmer can hit the player in the head with a bow from hundred meters away* Fanboy: Makes sense.
  23. "Once you've helped someone, they will like you."... Toddler level ideas accompanied by toddler level writing... I've had enough of their shit just by playing Skyrim, so FO4 is where I draw the line, to keep my sanity.
  24. Karliah: This is the headquarters of the Nightingales... We've come to seek the edge we need to defeat Mercer Frey. Karliah: To hold any hope of defeating Mercer, we must have Nocturnal at our backs. *Player reluctantly becomes Nightingale* Player: Erm, I don't feel stronger? Karliah: With the Skeleton Key missing from the Twilight Sepulcher, I'm afraid Mercer's seen to it that none of us can benefit from Nocturnal's gifts. Player: WHAT!? It's baffling how some people, clearly with double digit IQs, can get paid to create this kind of garbage.

    Nazeem's New Herd

    Here's a mod idea: Hulda tells you that Nazeem's been looking for bodyguards. Since you're a bit short on money, you decide to give it a go. You take Lydia and together, you go to see Nazeem for the job interview. It seems Nazeem's willing to employ both of you as his bodyguards on one condition, you will only use the uniforms and other equipment that he supplies and nothing else, cause he can't be seen around with a bunch of guards in poor quality equipment which might hurt his reputation, in other words, he wants to show off around the Cloud District with his new bodyguards. The pay is substantial, so you both accept the job. Next morning you both arrive at his farm to begin your new job. Nazeem greets you and gives you your new armor and weapons. The armor looks a bit skimpy but you don't pay much attention and put it on. Three of you then start walking towards Whiterun... In the following days, Nazeem's uniforms get skimpier and skimpier, he gets more and more confident around you and starts to order you around, seeing you don't object, his demands get bolder and bolder... Well, I leave the rest to your imagination, but I suppose you can see where this is going...
