If you are sleeping so heavily that you sleep through your alarm every time, you probably aren’t getting enough sleep. Go to bed earlier.

15 minutes well spent

I’ve heard they may actually be the ancestor breed of corgis

If you were to walk this route along the surface of the earth, you would walk in perfectly straight lines apart from the three turns.

Moose do actually cow. They are incredibly scary and imposing.

Whenever people criticise Bethesda games for their engine, I pretty much assume right away they know nothing about game development. Bethesda’s engine is something they have a lot of control over and can constantly improve and iterate on. It’s not as though Starfield and Morrowind are running on the exact same codebase.

Starfield is bad because of bad game design, not bad game development. Skyrim was buggy on release as well, and yet people loved it because the design of the game was good enough that people were willing to forgive the programming flaws. People overvalue the engine in discussions about Bethesda games and it’s become this meme among people to seem like they sound like they know what they’re talking about, but ultimately the flaws in Bethesda games that determine their success has very little to do with what engine they use.

Also, the Skyblivion team is constantly releasing dev diaries showing the progress, and the mod is nearly finished. It looks very well done, and the whole thing is out in the open. There’s no reason to be cynical about whether it will ever release when you can literally go look at the progress with your own eyes.

For Oblivion, there is Skyblivion coming out next year.

Not sure what you hope would be added in a “remake” though. You’re asking for something which would inherently do very little and be exactly the sort of cash grab that we normally condemn. You want these games with better graphics or mechanics? Play with mods.

The Anno games are notoriously hard to run on Linux. Protip: always check Protondb for Linux compatibility.

Also, if you find yourself missing Anno on Linux, check out Tropico or any number of city builders by Hooded Horse. There are lots of great resource production chain city builders out there that don’t force you to use Uplay

I’m a big fan of this game. It’s tactically deep and can be fairly punishing while also being whimsical and silly. And I love the fact that encounters can be resolved with or without violence. The characters are all dripping with personality and it has a fun sort of globetrotting vibe.

That explains why in the movie Predator, you can hear the crunch of Doritos right before it attacks.

So funny when a corpo is forced to seem positive about something where there is absolutely no positive way of spinning it. It has this surreal energy where the person doing PR seems almost uncanny, like some kind of lizard person.

Funny, that game is by the same creator as the game OP mentioned.

If you like Obra Dinn, you’ll love Outer Wilds

Honestly I think that if ES6 is to Skyrim what FO4 is to FO3, it will probably be good.

The danger is if they try to replicate Starfield or FO76, ie. cut corners like crazy, be blinded by dollar signs in their eyes.

A lot of jobs are bullshit. Generative AI is good at generating bullshit. This led to a perception that AI could be used in place of humans. But unfortunately, curating that bullshit enough to produce any value for a company still requires a person, so the AI doesn’t add much value. The bullshit AI generates needs some kind of oversight.

I’m pretty sure there was in Firefly

The Klingon restaurant on DS9 was more of a sit-down restaurant IIRC

If Borderlands 3 had released on Steam, I’d have probably bought it when it came out because I still had a lot of goodwill for the series at that time. Instead, I had to wait until the Steam release when the game already had loads of negative press. Exclusive deals are idiotic

Machine learning is irrelevant to the sort of AI used in a game like this.

Same! I still play Civ V all the time
