One is specifically tied to the other. These people are being manipulated into being right wing pro-authoritarian voters because of “woke” blah blah blah. It’s always their boogie man because it has been made part of their identity, it’s part of the victim complex they have and they feel like “free speech warriors” when they fight against it… It’s fucking disgusting.

Difficulty settings are wack. Normal is too easy and hard is way too hard. The slider literally goes from 1x/1x damage taken/damage dealt to 3x/0.6!

This was my only real complaint, other than them taking the noise cue away from lockpicking! I’ve really been itching for an elderscolls game with modern graphics and QOL so I’m super happy.

As for the lockpicking I learned something recently from a video and now I never break a pick. I can’t believe I never knew this:

Basically when you hit one tumbler there are the 3 drop speeds right? You push it up and it falls either slow, med, or quick. They “switch” between those three speeds when the tumbler falls back to the starting position.

If you hit a tumbler up and HOLD up (I’m on controller), or whatever key is up, then the tumbler will bounce slightly in the fully raised position. When it’s like this it will be remaining in the “fall speed” from when you first triggered it. We want it to be the slow fall speed so basically while it’s bouncing if you see any spring between “bounces” it’s too fast, let it fall to the starting position and try again.

If it’s bouncing and you can barely see any movement at all let alone any spring then it’s in the slow position, that’s what we want. When it’s like that watch the lockpick and when the lockpick is moving upwards trigger the lock with whatever the confim button is for you. It should always work!

They didn’t fix shit that the unofficial patch fixed years ago. Like actual broken things just stayed broken… I did the main story mission in Kvatch and the NPC you followed into battle after you clear the oblivion gate got stuck in a courtyard. I looked up the issue and apparently it is a bug from the original game that the unofficial patch fixed… They know fixes exist, they just spent literally 0 time implementing them knowing “we” will do it for free…

Doing God’s work!

Some God, not that God. A better, more horny God.

There is actually some evidence that musk was unfortunately successful at reaching some of these people. There was a lot of talk about “strange” ballots that only voted for Trump and nothing else, usually called “bullet ballots.” Well apparently part of musks outreach plan was getting to low propensity voters and telling them “don’t worry if it’s confusing, don’t worry about knowing the candidates, the only thing we need is a vote for Trump and he’ll fix everything.”

It seems like it worked out for them… :(

As far as management goes x4 foundations is an awesome space game! I have hundreds of hours in that game spent just messing around with an industrial empire, buying mining ships, setting trade routes, all that fun stuff. You don’t even have to fight anything if you don’t want to.

I’m enjoying it quite a bit!

… except for the fucking lockpicking…

Whyyy did you have to make it so much harder?! It’s so unforgiving now and they took away the noise cue! I used to be able to do it without even looking at the screen because you could hear a distinct sound when it clicked into place. Now there are 3 different drop speeds and the sounds are so minimal…

My friend is on one of the teams working on that so I suppose I’ll know soon enough if they’re gutting that portion. So far he hasn’t said anything, so here’s hoping they’re safe!

Marketing asshats: so… How do we get more people talking about the release? No press is bad press remember!

DO THE PAID HORSE ARMOR THING!

You’re not alone in feeling this way for sure. I’m only still alive because I have older family members who would be devastated if I did anything to myself. Once they’re gone I can finally go too.

I love my family and want them to live happily, but like… Please don’t live to 100… I’m growing impatient lol

I’m so happy to have been wrong about the shadow drop! Now I just need to get through the rest of the day at work lol

I have a coworker that does this and he’s the type that not talking is literally impossible for him…

If he even walks anywhere near a conversation he has to insert himself into it and talk. He hangs out near another coworker usually and when that guy gets asked a question the annoying one will always start talking over the guy who was asked… He’s not even in the same role.

He’s otherwise a nice guy and all, but holy shit is he one of the most annoying people I’ve ever met…

I want these to be good for many reasons, but especially since I have a friend that works on one of the teams that are making them lol

Booooooo… So not today. I’m doubting the same day drop. Knowing marketing asshats they’ll want to run a week or more of advertising first especially if they’re calling this a reveal. :/

It depends on what was needed at the time, but probably things like tools and housing. Obviously considering the time we’re talking about it would be very “primitive” lol

I’d probably be something of a builder/ “engineer.”

I’m not actually an engineer, but I have a knack for utilizing what I have around me or simple enough objects to serve other goals. I suppose I’m what people used to call a Macgyver or “mechanically inclined.”

Conservative voters in a nutshell. Insanely selfish and happy for the pain their representatives cause others.

“If it doesn’t directly affect me I couldn’t possibly care less.”

Yes it’s called Donald Trump. His weight and his massive fucking ego bend space and time.

…one would hope that’s the point of a driver update all the time, no?
