I mean he was literally the president. I'm not a fan either but surely we're not expecting him to have his door kicked in and for him to get dragged off in cuffs. Secret service following him around in jail?

Yeah. In the end I think it'll be beneficial, honestly, to put more control in the hands of the user. If you notice all of the problem people are coming from on place, blocking them all feels so counter-intuitive when you can just block the source. And every argument I hear against it is the same tired "free speech means you have to listen to me and give me a platform" thing you hear from just about everyone who has an opinion most people really don't wanna listen to.

And they take over every new social media site until people find a way to filter them out. That's why they fight so hard against said filters.

How much does this dude have to do before everyone sues the pants off of him? We should be past that stage months ago.

Respectfully dude, it's not everyone else's job to police content for you. Paywalls are everywhere, it's the internet.

Fallout 4 wasn't bad at launch. A whole LOT better than New Vegas, I'll say that much.

I'll never understand why Bethesda catches these accusations so much harder than other devs that are just as bad. Hell KOTOR 2 was so broken at launch an entire mod needed to be made to finish the game. Not unofficially patch it, literally add so much that we just saw a company have to give out refunds because they couldn't include it in official console releases.

Obsidian has a long history of this, yet they're somehow beloved even though their entire rep is "we make well thought out games, and then don't finish them because we're awful at time management". I mean look at the full list. Neverwinter Nights 2: Buggy at launch, busted, toolset was messed up so nobody came over from part 1. Kotor 2: Buggy at launch, missing a ton of content, never got fixed. Alpha Protocol: demolished for having awful AI. Again, largely unpolished and taken to task for it. Dungeon Siege 3: literally killed the franchise.

It's hard to be a Bethesda fan on the internet, so many developers lean on fans to come in with patches and fix their games and ONLY THEY get heat for it. Heck, V:TM Bloodlines is one of the most popular games of all time, and it's NOTORIOUSLY glitchy without the unofficial patch.

And none of this was ever a problem whatsoever until Bethesda rescued Fallout.

I half wonder if people remember that Van Buren was canceled, and the last canonical Fallout in production was the sequel to the Slipknot soundtrack having bawls guarana shilling dumpster fire that was Brotherhood of Steel.

I didn't until I found Beehaw. I'm enjoying it now.

I wish you could block servers personally, though. Like some of the stuff that's blocked here makes this place a lot better to be around. There's less hate and reactionary fear mongering. Everything is more chill.

Reddit is winning right now. You still get the daily digests from them? The stuff it's suggesting to me is wild. You'd never even see it if a lot of the website's traffic didn't suddenly get thanos snapped.

All he had to do was sit in his money bunker and make dumb tweets about harmless things and he'd have eventually died a legendary figure.

Now he's infamous for a totally different reason. I mean look at Richard Branson. That could be Elon right now, as the worst case scenario. Some hyper-rich dude that most people are aware of but that you never hear much negative on in the media. He just kinda exists, does billionaire stuff. Heck, even Bezos right now. When's the last time you saw Bezos show up negatively in the news? And neither of them had a full on cult of personality forming around them.

It's a thing with large corporations that want to do something unpopular, and she probably knows he's doing it. Hire a woman to be a CEO, do ALL SORTS of nasty things that she can't directly veto because you're the owner, then fire her for the backlash to those things and come in as a conquering hero.

The Ellen Pao effect.

Shadows of Chernobyl is a game I still think about, even though I haven't played it in like 12 years. That's a sign of a great game.

The new one is probably going to be awesome, too. I just hope they don't ruin it with monetization.

You have good taste in games.

Me too, because I still play it. the enhanced edition is wonderful. Upscaled it, tweaked the ui, fixed the lighting, and that was it. The rest of it is optional hak packs that you can choose to install to up the quality of the game's graphics.
