But why? As the lead designer in the article states, if the game is good who cares what engine they’re using. The creation engine isn’t holding Bethesda back. Just imagine if Starfield had released on Unreal instead of Creation engine? Would fewer loading screens and better facial animations have saved Starfield? I don’t think so. The engine was not the issue with Starfield, the piss poor game design was the issue. Unreal engine isn’t going to solve boring perks, boring quests and a bland world.

If TES6 comes out on creation engine 2 or 3 or whatever, and it’s the next big thing like Skyrim, nobody is going to give a shit that it’s the same engine. People might actually be angry if it’s not on the Creation engine because that would mean modding is going to take a huge hit. Every current Bethesda game modder would have to learn how to mod Unreal engine and I can near guarantee it’s going to be a lot harder than modding Creation engine.

It’s extremely difficult to get started.

But it would be easier to start if you got a fair amount for your labor and everyone you’re going to work with pooled in.

However, it becomes extremely difficult to add a layer of fairness because some people will say that they deserve more than another person. Some people will get jobs based on who they know and who likes them. Does everyone get paid equally? Do you measure performance on some way? That creates competing interests and competition among workers.

The current system isn’t fair either. Ultimately your boss decides what you get paid. They could be a benevolent dictator but they could also try to stiff you, you will never know. Now, we might not make it fair but we can definitely make it fairer. One way is democratization of the work place. Essentially everyone gets a say, say in how the revenue is split, say in who gets hired, say in whether there should be preformance metrics and if there should then also what those metrics should be.

And that’s not some only theoretical idea, cooperatives are real life examples of this working. They aren’t point by point as the examples I gave, but they do follow the concept of implementing democracy in the work place.

What does that even mean?

As others have already pointed out Nvidia drivers aren’t that bad. The only game I’ve had issues with is Star Wars Outlaws, but I think that has more to do with the game itself than Nvidia drivers (It’s not exactly a stable experience on Windows either).

The only big thing holding Linux gaming back is anti-cheat, but that’s mostly because AAA developers don’t want to allow anti-cheat on Linux. It’s worth checking out if your favorite online game can be played on Linux.

I would add introspection to this. Sometimes we are unproductive because we feel forced to do something that we might not actually want to do. Mantras help in some cases but I other cases you need to get to the core of why you’re unproductive. For example I’ve swapped projects because the project I used to work on was soul crushing and no amount of mantras would’ve saved me there. Introspection helped me understand that I really hated that project.

We are really much happier as people when there’s a “logical” course of real events that lead to any disaster.

Even with quotation marks you’re really stretching the meaning of logical. It’s less about “logical” and more about “believable course of events”. There’s nothing logical about weather weapons, but people who already believe democrats are evil and deep state exists etc. have no problem throwing another make-believe ontop of their layered make-believe cake. And why wouldn’t they? They already believe all the other nonsense that’s necessary to believe this nonsense, they’re just getting a bigger cake.

And just to throw it out there, they could’ve believed “Gods did this” as that’s what we’ve historically believed. Weather weapons isn’t the only option to believe in, it’s just the one they choose to believe in.

I used to have teacher who deliberately made disproportionate diagrams. His reasoning was that people trust too much what their eyes see and not enough what the numbers tell them. He would’ve loved that diagram.

Typical market manipulation. If they had any real consideration of buying out the company we wouldn’t even know about it. Such discussions happen behind closed doors and don’t come public until the offer has to be put on the table (or it becomes old news and nobody cares if it gets public). It was all just to bring up the stock price, so the situation wouldn’t look that desperate.

The controller experience is really well thought through and the game is definitely playable with the controller. That said, I still chose kb+m because I felt like I got a better overview of a situation and the options I had in that situation, but I could see why someone would think the controller option is more immersive.

The TLDR: Don’t criticize China, you’re wrong anyway.

My only issue with Dirk Gently is that it got canned. I can’t recommend shows that get canceled without a proper ending.

Don’t kinkshame others.

It’ll be interesting to see what Sony will do considering they’re not going to pull PC players to PS and PC ports open to door to piracy which is definitely going to increase with the PSN shit. I doubt the PSN data is so valuable they’re just going to let people pirate their games. Either they’re going to pull out the PC market to prevent piracy or they’re going to get rid of the PSN for PC. The latter makes too much sense so it’s probably going to be the former.

I technically it might be the first game on the account of the previous 2 being mods.
