Oh you know they have some fucked up shit planned. They will find a way to fuck it up. Maybe there might be a good use for A.I as it developes. Maybe someone could go through and de fuckify some of the games that have been released recently and make a decent game out of it Then distribute it as a mod. One could dream!

The actual fact is they were forced to remove the flags from the game demo by the owners. The key in my opinion was "demo" and for "owners". Who knows if they would hvae had to remove it later after it was released. As for Valeguard. Chance are they would but that would cost money and they don't want to rework a game that has been already released. Not to that level. Just my opinion. I like to think that the owners got wind that the developers of the game were told to remove the flags from the demo and decided nope. WE have to shut this place down. Their history proves they can't work with us. Likely, I like to think, they were told when the new owners took control that they were told to stop that bullshit and tone it down. They were warned. All this is my own thoughts. No evidence. It does track with what happened though IMO

You can always toss some cash to them every month to get less ads. Sounds like a good investment, huh? lol

OH it was BAD. VERY BAD. Especially if you bought it on release day. Besides totally ignoring the formula that made the game great. They intentionally hit the women with the ungly stick. REAL HARD. if you get my drift. I meean, dam, I understand you don't want them all to be super model level looks but for christ sakes, don't make them look like they are the result of 10 generations of incest. (look at the Hasburg royal family for reference lol) Hell even the way the walked looked like they had Cerbal Palsy. When compared to the males looking normal to decent it was really shocking. Thinking about this is giving me PTSD ... lol. I tried to really get my moneys worth out of it but after a bit I couldn't. It was just too bad. Not in the qurkey way that Fallout and Skyrim games give. (they have at least a slight get out of jail as you can mod them and fix them as time goes on) It was just bad. Honeslty, Id rather deal with a game full of Social Justice requirements for example like Vandguard! As oppose to that slop of repetitive slop with so many issues. Shit the eyes, the eyes looking around were horrible. Holy crap they were bad. (The Vandguard reference is the various extreme SJW videos showing the bad parts. I don't own it or ever would unless I got a lobotomy (perhaps not even then) ) At least it looked like Vandguard actually functioned. The eyes, lord the eys .. (PTSD) atually seemed to track properly. They don't look like they were hit extremely hard (women) with the ugly stick. Not that they looked great but didn't look like generations of incest.

You know. Someone a long time ago, I forgot who it was, mentioned that it is dangerious to stay with the current extreme left wing people. I was moderate then and I was like your crazy. Who you socialize with doesn't change you that much. Well, jumping down that rabbit hole about this dude. See older pictures around the time he started Bioware and the most recent before they shut down and you can see how dangerious it is. How much it can change some people. Before he looked (and IMO very likely) acted like a normal professional. Going in doing his job. Having discussions on various options and likely a somewhat open mind. Then slowly that was wittled away and he is now what he is today due to that. I could be wrong but looking at some long time employees working in the gaming industry many of them changed and changed HARD. Those that didn't became the enemy of the developers and fired. I looked a bit more and kept on being confirmed. Those few that held their goround and didn't drink the Kool Aid got kicked out. Each time it strengthend the crazy people and further corrupted those that were associating with them.

It appears that they have a sale on them again. FAllout 4 GAme of the year 9.99. Fallout NV for 4.99 (ultimate edition) Fallout 3 GOTY version 4.99. The previous Fallouts are 2.49 each. 75% off normal price. From GOG and no DRM. NO forced update. Can use the version you want. Freedom. I have been purchasing some of my old games that I have on Steam when on sale in GOG. Moving away from Steam. On a side note. Cyberpunk has an update and on sale on GOG as well. Pretty good sale considering it is a newer game.

Which retard? However, of couse they would hire them to work on TES6. Just shows that that game likley will be shit as well. I have no hopes for anything decent coming from there.

If they continue to get rid of this woke bullshit I don't care what is next.

I guess I am really active on my updates on my system. They (the distro) just updated the list for the flatpaks including the one that didn't update due to outdated requirements. It added the requirements and removed the ones no longer required. So that works. Just I was too FAST . Too Impatient. LOL.

Good lord.. we really needed an other Sims game. (lol... not).

Ha, You know, you are probably right. I guess it shows how much I cared about Mass Effect after that flop and what Bioware was putting out even then.

Tomorrow October 22nd 2026 is going to have a major update. A update that is substantial at least over the past year since the last one. It is supposed to be an update due to the new Edgerunners II coming out. New perks and such.

Speaking of Flatpaks. I ran into a strange issue. It had an error duing update (command line of course duh! ) It gave me a warning but I didn't know what was going on. Why a warning for a Flatpak? Well I am running it on a system that is using Flatpak along sides other sources. (not sure if this is the case for the OS that only use flatpak like Silverblue, Bazzite etc. Somethow I think that isnt' the case. ) Anyway. It appears that some of the most popular Flatpaks provided are outdated. They have a needed resource I believe version 24.08 and it is no longer supported. Needs to be updated. Well, it doesn't do it by itself. At least not on my OS (one of the resons that people still aren't going to be able to go fully into Linux. This is on MInt) Apparently my system image I used and versoin is old enough that this happens. Anyway a quick Google search away and I was given some commands to clean the flatpaks that are old and the old Flatpak components (apparently they will sit there happly wasting your space until removed) and force the supported flatpak to the newer versons. One flatpak is still outdated but I got 4 of them moved over. A command (yea commands) later and I was able to confirm that they are using the newer versoin of teh requirement. Time from noticing the problem to solution. 5 minutes. Most of that was searchng on Google. lol. So far this hasn't shown up on my immutable OS system. It seems to update everything as it goes. (it only uses flatpaks not a mixed enviroment)

Can you believe it? I never played that game. Or any game of that series. Yep. Good music though. Maybe I might pick it up on GOG (if it is there and on a nice sale :D )

Wasn't there a clame that they were shutting down any future Mass Effect game after that last shit show? I seem to recall them saying that back then.

Gary Busey is the new crypt keeper. True story God dam... Even the pigs wanted nothing to do with that guy in the pink. It freaked them out.

I havent needed to use it to alter flatpaks however, there might be some adjustements you can do to work with folders you need. Might need to alter the locations of teh folders though. How they are layed out to get it to work right. Unfortunately that is the problem and drawback with flatpak systems. The great benifit is nothing can screw up other things and they update seperatly from the system and always (if updated correctly by the creator) stable.

have you tried flatseal? The Flatpak manager. If I recall you are able to control flatpak and alter some of its access. Maybe? I never had that issue. Don't use Zorin. Zorin gatekeeps their features behind a pay wall. What is worse, after you pay, you have to buy it again if they upgrade versions. I'd rather spend a few minutes with a basic linux and get all that without the paywall. I am not going to reward them for gatekeeping. In the past I tried their free version and thought. Hey I will just install it myself. Not a problem. Except it isn't part of the distro list (forget the name now.) . I'd have to add a different distro listing from what I tried. Honestly, I did a quick attempt, it wasn't working. Made sure my commands was right and they were so I dumpted it. I can't remember a disto I changed out of faster in recent years.

Yes, it is for recovery not daily driver. Have a full installation ready with all your tweaks and then use the program to copy it over to your computers drive if it needs it in the future. A bad update or something happens you can be up and running even faster than you would be normally. Everything can be set up to your liking from the theme to the desktop and software. I haven't done it with LInux but eons ago I did it for Mac 9.0 and it worked beautiful. Just clone it over.
