Plus, the actual creatives aren’t gone just because their studio stopped making games, they usually keep working in some other role. It’s hardly ideal, but it’s wrong to frame this as a loss of their future contributions.

To equivocate a little, a great team is bottled lightning and having them disbanded because of market dynamics is a loss.

Recreating Mesa Verde on an asteroid would be incredible.

Time to learn moisture farming

Trois would be too exposed to the influence of the ring. If she got a hold of it there’s a real chance they’d fail miserably even with teleporters.

This is top shelf.

We should, and it should be called the Logan’s Run law, to give them something to think about

Well now we know what he’d do

Protesting too much, Boris?

I should have said more, for once. I meant simulation more to describe the Bethesda house style, which seems to be this idea that having apples that can roll around on a table or whatever is immersive and engaging enough that you don’t need Michael Kirkbride hanging around putting weird metaphysical shit all over the place, actually. I wasn’t saying they were good at it, only that it appears to be what they think.

I think they really don’t believe in storytelling in the way traditional game writers do. They think enough simulation can replace good writing.

Personally I’m certain they are wrong, and it’s tragic that they own the Elder Scrolls IP.

New ones will be provided.

This depends on the information and the recipient, every single time. Genuine understanding between two minds is more rare and precious than gold, and it fades all too quickly. It is like a flower once picked. You tend that garden if you want more than one.

Arguably, we still are.

Sorry to bother, autocorrect is dire these days isn’t it?

We unwittingly created a world of entrenched nuclear states who feel totally safe from invasion, rogue nations who shouldn’t have them and have almost nothing to lose, and everyone else who has to watch their backs.

Imagine if Biden had the guts to stuff SCOTUS like a clown car.

It burns me to think of all the shit you could get away with being in that position of incredible power, too old to threaten, on your way out… And he just ain’t gonna go for it.

Carte blanche, i.e. blank check. Just sharing in case that wasn’t a typo

No advice yet as I’m in the same exact boat. We’re about to get ours evaluated for ADHD privately while unconvinced it’s the best option… Ours is young enough that he doesn’t really have memories of the US and started school here, but still comes off as blatantly American. It’s been a comedy of errors learning how the school system works (putting him and my wife through school the last 3 years, somehow).

But hey, hit me up if you’re ever out near Kent, I figure I owe you a pint or three for all the work you do to keep things fresh on Lemmy.

Bitchhh what’s up

I do this
