Sure, I'll bite. There's something quaint about getting little gaming magazines like when I was a kid.

My first mod.

Yes that is exactly what it is. Just like the first game! Except this time the world and characters don't suck as much, and that's most of what I needed. The other thing I wanted was actual co-op, maybe mods.

If it gets chunky, just shake it up until the chunks dissolve. If it starts to smell, add some baking soda.

I've never in my entire life understood the "I'm gonna be looking at my character's ass this entire game" arguments. When the fuck are you looking at your character's ass in any game?? I mean besides when it's made front-and-center and you're "supposed" to look at it, like here.

Skyrim. I really loved it for the first few hours. I remember laughing my ass off thinking the giants killing you and sending you a thousand feet in the air was a glitch, then realizing it was actually intended. How fucking cool the fire stream spell was, and how double cool it was using it in both hands (even though the damage sucked.) That kind of thing. But man, I don't think I've ever soured on a single player game quite as hard as Skyrim, it was so bad it actually greatly damaged my opinion of Bethesda as a whole, whom I had previously liked. While a lot of issues in Skyrim I could've attributed to that single game and accepted for "pushing boundaries," (when it was actually reigning boundaries in, in hindsight) -- the fact that their later games showed absolutely ZERO ambition completely floored me, and that has culminated in Starfield being this complete gaming black hole in my memory, just the vague blur of the passage of time while lots of nothing happened. Ugh. Another would be World of Warcraft. I adored it when it first came out, but I've never been big into playing one game for extreme periods of time. So I'm always a fairweather MMO player. I enjoy the content, and happily leave when I get bored, coming back when I hear something interesting. But with Wrath of the Lich King, we were raiding on a schedule (I can't fucking stand gaming on a schedule, quickest way to make it feel like a job and suck the entertainment out of it. I don't mean "hey let's go do this Destiny 2 raid on Monday," I mean "hey let's do this WoW raid for 4 hours a night twice a week for 8 months") and dealing with the drama (not nearly as bad as others I've seen) and the complaints and people dropping out and whatnot over and over and over, casting the same spells and using the same abilities week in, week out was absolutely destructive to my enjoyment of the game. Then came Cataclysm, which I was initially excited for, and enjoyed right up until we started raiding again. In the very first month I realized the game was now actively miserable to me. My head started to feel a little funny any time I even looked at the UI. Like a pulled muscle, but for my brain. I honestly have no idea how to describe it besides maybe base revulsion? It was a stronger negative reaction to a game than I've had before or since. It wasn't until years later, near the middle of Legion that I'd give it another shot, and found that whatever damage was done had finally worn off, and I could appreciate the game on its own terms again. And I've been very happy to go back to being a fairweather player. BFA and Shadowlands sucked? No problem ducking out. Dragonflight is fun? Hey great time to roll a new class! Can't think of anything else off the top of my head, those were the standouts for me, though I'm sure I've got one or two more if I keep thinking about it.

No idea if it was just someone joking or not, but I saw someone mention that he's "making a Bioshock about cancel culture" and that sounds fucking hilarious to me.

Yes, it's correct. I've never been attacked once while camping (and only once on the ox cart) so I'm overloaded on camping kits.

(potatoes)

Looking at any amount of footage for this, my brain just goes "Yup, that's Bioshock" and I immediately move on to something else. I thought Bioshock was kind of dated and unfun when it was new. To "build" a new company (gut and replace, same thing right?) and then just spend 10 years to rebuild the same exact thing is super lame to me. Was there like... really nothing else they wanted to do? Was Bioshock the best he could ever envision?

Sweet!

Keep the potatoes, get rid of the people!

We quite literally cannot have nice things.

Did you miss the part where the original ran at 60? lol Remake downgrade for no reason. That's the Nintendo way! Also wait, "here we go again?" When was the last time I cared about a console game being 30?

I need my class to either be turbo-speedy or the slowest fucker in the game, no inbetween!

Is it seriously gonna be running at 30 FPS? After the original 20 years ago was running at 60? The trailers have a 60 FPS option, but that footage ain't 60!

I really want to keep shadowplay going more often, but I feel like I want every ounce of performance... I did manage to capture this fight that starts with an unintentional jumpscare scaring the absolute SHIT out of me, though!

What story?

I'm out here looking for even bigger boys. Feel like I'm currently too OP. Just fucking walking around uppercutting ogres and chimeras with my hammer, toppling them instantly, and then beating the shit out of them while they beg for mercy. Even the drake in that one area went down relatively easily. GIVE ME HARD MODE.

I think stuff like that is part of what makes it fun. It's not a game that you're supposed to just casually 100%, they like to have lots of secrets so people have different playthroughs, it also helps people go "wait wtf are you talking about" when someone mentions something cool they missed, which helps some people want to replay the game, upping the chances of buying those sweet sweet microtransactions!

Yup. If you get to the purchase page the buttons do nothing!

That's why you put bumpers on the bumpers

I'm just imagining the exact same video but he's yelling at people who went to Glasgow's Willy Wonka experience.

Yeah bro I end all of my jokes with "YOU PEOPLE WILL COMPLAIN ABOUT ANYTHING" like a fucking toddler, lol

I'm also not into statues, but I did get the Endwalker one because it was like the only Paladin merch of any game I've ever played. Gotta simp for Paladins, man. Well, except the D&D version where they're like super zealous and boring. Anyway, figure I might as well get this one so I can make them kiss.
