Maybe because I said I hadn’t seen anything for the game other than the announcement?

I went down a rabbit hole of emulation last year. I got PCSX2 and tons of games like Ratchet & Clank, Tak 1-3, Jak 1-X, the Sly series, Spider-Man 2, and so many others. I spent a good month and a half just playing old PS2 games and I had an absolute blast

I enjoyed the first one, which is a shame because it released like right before the evidence and allegations came out about Roiland, so it left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth.

I thought the game was fun and hilarious (I have an immature sense of humor), and it had enough random bullshit for you to find and enjoy that I didn’t care about the low points of the game. Being able to watch three full B-movies from the 80s-90s was awesome imo, and I absolutely loved finding the RedLetterMedia Easter egg. Then it turns out he’s a piece of shit hitting on minors and teens.

I want to play this second one, even though I’ve seen literally nothing for it other than it was coming out at some point. But at the same time, I’m hesitant because Roiland kinda fucking sucks.

Literally my first thought was “I bet the US either paid someone or sent their most Cuban asset to pull this off.”

I’m American too. I fucking hate my country.

Remember Gamefly?

Gamepass wasn’t a bad idea, and it was actually pretty cool when it first came out. It was basically Microsoft’s Gamefly.

And the Son, Emulation?

They at least fixed the water walking in Oblivion. You could just look down to start swimming.

But yeah, I did that to a character or two as well. I think one time I thought a permanent levitation spell would be the tits. Then I found out about how slow it is.

Or you could do “soul trap on self” combined with a “fortify skill” effect.

It is

FUCK. Now that’s some good shit.

This is the Kain game I played when I was a kid. The PS2 I got just happened to have a copy, so I gave it a shot one time. Holy shit, it’s like playing through a high-budget period-fantasy movie. The voice acting goes insanely hard, the story is wild and twisted, and the locations are dark and grim; even when they’re brightly lit.

Very little QoL, but an absolutely fucking massive map expansion and all the quests that comes with it. They just released the latest bit they finished last spring. It greatly expands all the major questlines and guilds and adds a couple more, introduces new ways of fast travel like water striders, new enemies and creatures, so many new towns with NPCs and their own dialog. It’s a lot. But I highly recommend it to anyone who is a fan of Elder Scrolls regardless.

It’s a project that’s been in production since a few weeks before Morrowind even released (but that’s more just a fun fact). It’s been worked on off-and-on over time, but really picked up speed a few years ago when Morrowind started becoming popular again.

It is, but just take it slow. I’d suggest the Tamriel Rebuilt mod(s), but I also want you to experience the game as vanilla as possible.

I’m sorry, but imo Portuguese sounds like Italian Spanish.

Don’t worry; I have it on good authority that these peaceful protests are working. I mean I just saw an article that said the administration is going to pull ICE out of Minnesota!

HUGE /S IF YOU CAN’T FUCKIN TELL

I’m currently staying with my well-off aunt and uncle in southern California, because my uncle just had open heart surgery in January. It cost them (and insurance) $460,000 for his surgery.

My aunt was diagnosed with and beat breast cancer a couple years ago. One of her regular treatments that she still needs to go in for every week costs her $6,000.

It doesn’t hurt that her parents were extremely wealthy and owned all kinds of land and property and left almost all of it to her and my uncle, but still.

My brother had a Navy buddy from Miami, who’s dad is apparently a big developer out there. He was telling me about this dude’s house he had custom built, with like super-mega concrete and reinforcement on his own man-made island at the end of a very wealthy neighborhood. Apparently it can withstand hurricanes and debris, and it’s like a freaking heavy-duty compound just so they can still live in Miami.

I’m sure he’s about to get a whole lot richer.

This was back in like 2003-2005. There were plenty of great console games that came out at that time and after.

Yeah I played video games, but not computer games. There was a year or two when I was in elementary when I would play nothing but GMod and I got pretty good.

Then I lost PC access at some point and didn’t get another computer until I was 22.

I was one of the last classes to graduate before everyone got school-issued laptops or tablets, back in 2015.

I’m kinda glad I didn’t go to school or grow up doing everything on a computer. The retention and repetition just isn’t there with me, or most others it seems. Like those typing courses in computer class that we did in elementary; I still type everything using my index fingers and almost nothing else.

But another part of me wishes I was more computer literate. All I really know how to do is plug stuff in and sign into my profile.
