“This is worth eighteen bazillion chips. Here is five dollars.”

OpenMW has a Switch port.

Three mods make Oblivion the peak of its era:

• Leveled list fix. Any one will do. The base game fumbled it, and everyone knows that, so plenty of people have rebalanced it their own ways.

• Darnified UI. As with SkyUI: it scrunches things down to where they make sense on a 1080p monitor instead of a 480p television in the next room, and it adds a few sort-by options for loot goblins. There’s nothing to be done about the nested tabs because they’re fine. Morrowind has its mouse-driven WIMP setup, Oblivion has its 360 blades dashboard, it’s fine. They are endgame versions of what shaped their era.

• Quest message popup removal. You absolutely do not need a modal fucking dialog, ev-er-y single time your journal updates. The little ching! is enough.

Oblivion is fantastic so long as you use any leveled-list mod. That’s a tiny fix. The game plays wonderfully, to this day, so long as you stay level one and maybe bind jump to space.

Foobar2000 works fine.

Right, you’ll have to collect the wave beam and screw attack all over again.

Scare quotes on Israel has the same energy as saying “Red China.”

It’s a real state, dude. They even have nukes.

Exclusives have been a gimmick for at least a decade. Games are not made for one system anymore. They’re generic software. They’ll run on anything, if you try.

Huh, Fortnite is the next Family Guy.

Yeah sure buddy, Biden also wants to round up ten million people, citizenship be damned. He’s such a power-crazed dictator that he dropped out five months ago.

Never let reality get in the way of parroting “both sides!”

Lemmy was overflowing with leftists telling people not to vote, even when the alternative is naked fascism.

Telling people to please for the love of god stop saying that is not some ‘just because you disagreeeee’ situation.

i experience the same thing when i make unpopular comments in the diet reddit instances like .world.

And that absolves you, when you unironically write shit like “everyone who disagrees with you is wrong; therefore they must drop their silly principals?”

I am pulling the chute on this thread. Good day.

opinions like yours

What, “don’t elect fascists?” “Less evil is better, actually?” “For the love of god, at least vote?”

Y’all are having a conversation that’s two-thirds making up what you pretend I must think. I’m glad it’s going well for you. I’m not sure my participation was necessary.

Do y’all not understand the difference between voters and the party, or do you conflate them deliberately? Because the topic until right this moment was the election.

The immediate alternative, for voters, in the election, was worse. The fact some bastard got in and is doing bastard things is not news, is still not a counterargument, and is not even on-topic to the concept of what voters do now.

No matter how justified you think that rhetorical device is - it does not fucking work. It’s always insulting. And as an effortless all-purpose grasp to delegitimize whoever you say it to, it’s been used to push total bullshit, more often than it’s been right. Find something else to say.

Pointing out dilemmas are real is not the same thing.

The people who came before me proudly said they’d skip this election, ‘and then everyone will oh no it went wrong somehow.’ I don’t recall specifying that these people were leftists. Thank you for underlining how a wide variety of people made this stupid decision. Do you think all of them doing it makes it less stupid?

Keep pounding the table about what a bastard Beshear is for doing this - that’ll totally prove me wrong when I mention what a bastard Beshear is for doing this.

The immediate alternative was still worse. Unless, as we all know, an anti-trans push cannot be worse than denying medicine in prison.

Right, because “in the meantime” means for-ev-errrr. Acknowledging that shit sucks means I want it to suck eternally.

And pointing out that your grand vision hasn’t happened yet means it’s my fault.

‘You’re underselling this systemic dilemma by comparing it to being robbed at gunpoint.’

This fucking server.

You’re having a fascinating conversation that doesn’t seem to involve what I actually write.

Do you think that’s what’s implied, whenever someone tells you to stop letting outright fascists take power? ‘Pancakes are good.’ ‘Why do you hate waffles?’ Wrong.

If you have a plans for better elections - great! But when the election happens, and your plan didn’t work, you have to work with what’s real.

If you have plans totally unrelated to elections - great! They won’t conflict with voting for less evil, no matter how evil you think “less evil” is. More evil is worse, actually.
