apparently this is in response to a few threads on Reddit flaming Starfield—in general, it’s been rather interesting to see Bethesda take what i can only describe as a “try to debate Starfield to popularity” approach with the game’s skeptics in the past month or two. not entirely sure it’s a winning strategy,...
Simple explanations like “we felt we were under X constraints” or “our engine didn’t handle the loading times as well as we had hoped” would be just fine.
Instead, they just seem to be telling the players they’re wrong for disagreeing with many of the design decisions made
Just curious what are the top 3 podcasts you listened to this year on whatever platform. Antennapod released a feature that summarized your year and well the amount of hours kinda surprised me in a good way, haha....
I’ve been feeling down lately and I started re-watching futurama for some good nostalgia, but it keeps making transphobic jokes which is kind of just making me feel worse. Anyone have any suggestions for comfort shows to watch?
I crack literally every knuckle in my fingers. I crack my wrists, elbows, neck (that one actually has caused issues), and can even crack my toes and knees sometimes.
I really really want to stop, but as soon as I feel that pressure in my joints, I just have to pop it.
Is this for your home? If it is, you don’t really have to worry about someone stealing your desktop. If someone breaks into your home, they’re looking for quick cash and jewelry and TVs. They’re not going to bother stealing your server to dig through files for something usable.
Seriously, how has there not been a survival RPG Battle Royale in the style of the Hunger Games?
Create a character with certain traits and skills using the same number of allotted points that everyone gets, then survive for 30 minutes to win.
Could be a bow hunter or a nature specialist, a sword fighter or a trap-maker. You could be strong, tall or fast and small with the ability to climb trees or swim better. How has this not been made yet?
Hollywood’s (meaning movie and TV producers in general) default is white and straight.
The hetero norm is changing slowly, but the white norm is still very much a thing. Typically for a movie to feature a predominantly POC cast, it’s directed by a POC and listed as a POC movie, rather than just… well, a movie.
Okay, I’m going to be that guy because I don’t see it being pointed out already.
That’s not actual Italian pizza, it’s still an Americanized version.
Real Italian pizza is so thin you have to eat it with a fork and knife and it’s meant for one person, not to share. The one in the picture is still way too thick to be real Italian.
But real Italian pizza in Italy really is on another level. It’s so god damned good, it makes all pizza in America look like cardboard with sauce.
“When I get into office, the first thing we have to do, social media companies, they have to show America their algorithm,” Haley said during an interview with Fox News Tuesday. “Let us see why they’re pushing what they’re pushing.”
For Palestinians in Gaza, the most urgent daily task is the search for water. “Obtaining water has become like prospecting for gold,” explains H., a writer with We Are Not Numbers, “and whoever finds drinkable water is considered wealthy."...
Greater than 50 percent of Gaza is under 24. Children absolutely do not deserve to be punished for the actions of Hamas, so the justification of people not to provide water and food by saying it’s Hamas’s fault is utterly cruel.
And if you’re down on a planet you can, but there is no magic to be found because it’s all procedurally generated emptiness between copy-pasted points of interest.
I think the perfect example of this are the caves that show up sometimes.
First time I found one, I thought “neat, I wonder what’s in there.” So I go exploring and find out that… nothing. Nothing is in there. It’s just an empty cave. So I find a second one, hoping that was a fluke and again… nothing.
The procedurally generated content is severely lacking in a reason for even existing.Nothing is worth exploring in Starfield because there’s just nothing there.
Walkable neighborhoods, more parks, more public squares with restaurants, benches, large spaces for hanging out without car traffic running through it.
We all need spaces to be in that are outside work and home. It just so happens that cities (especially suburbs) aren’t designed for it in any way whatsoever.
It would help people of all sexualities meet new people for hanging out, for love, or whatever else.
Why is someone using Outlook to sync a different email address?
Why not keep the apps separate? Or use the Mail app built into Windows?
Seriously, someone explain the use case here because I don’t understand. If you’re using an outlook account, MS already has all that stuff. And if you don’t have an Outlook account, why are you using Outlook?
The way they talk about it makes it sound like they invented the written word, but that notwithstanding the fonts actually look really nice in my opinion.
For the past few weeks I’ve been working on creating my own public radio station (it’s been a dream of mine since I was a kid). Well now it’s up and running but I don’t know what to do with it.

Definitely provide a visible way to accept donations. No reason you should have to pay for all the costs of running this completely on your own. It’s the fediverse, spreading the load is kinda the point!
The Palestinians have been living under an oppressive regime for decades and are now being threatened with genocide. Israel is going to raze Gaza and take over West Bank, effectively cleansing the Palestinians from their own land.
Hamas the terrorist organization’s behavior against civilians isn’t justified, but the cause is legitimate.
“What’s more frustrating for those working on SCP, and the wider Starfield modding community, is how difficult it is to work with Starfield’s code without official modding tools and support. This isn’t helped by the delayed mod tools from Bethesda, which the company says are coming at some point next year.”
How do you learn programming on paper to be sufficiently effective when translating the skills to the computer?
I get that it’s the same stuff, but there are very useful tools and workflows, in addition to knowing what you’re doing wrong that you can’t learn on paper.
Or am I misinterpreting what you’re saying; that you just didn’t look for resources online to cut out distractions, but programmed like normal?
Supply chains, worker wages and the price of energy has been blamed for the current bout of high inflation. But central bankers around the world are starting to clue in to something consumers have been aware of for a while — corporations just aren't afraid to raise their prices anymore.
I’ve noticed here in the US that all restaurants have been getting more expensive yet worse in quality. You can get a good anything anymore without paying insane prices.
And even for typically expensive prices, you get fairly mediocre food.
