Kojima is a clown.

And you’re not supporting a godawful abusive company such as Nintendo.

Honestly the Switch 2 is the only future console I have any excitement for.

Steam Deck or literally any other portable PC over whatever the hell Nintendo regurgitates next.

Techbros are the modern day equivalent to snake oil salesmen.

Literally who cares? Fuck e-celeb drama.

Based.

Blowout soon, fellow Stalker.

It’s what I’ve been using recently, but I really dislike how it’s a browser extension, that and how it can’t really handle audio files from my experience.

Good question.

I’m yet to find something that supports notifications, handles podcasts/videos and isn’t janky as all hell or hasn’t been abandoned for a decade by now.

I know some people who use it for videos, etc.

That’s one of my problems with Thunderbid, anything that isn’t a HTML page just has loads of problems with it. In fact, most of the readers recommended above by other people suffer from the same problems, it kind of sucks.

The idea is to imitate the experience of something like Feedly, an RSS feed you can access from anywhere on any device, recommendations, all that… Which is overkill if all you want is just a simple program that queries for new posts every x hours.

UI is too bloated, slow, resource hungry and I’ve had problems with displaying some feed content in the past.

Outlook

God forbid.

The problem is finding a good local, desktop based RSS reader other than thunderbird or a damn server app, especially if you’re on Windows.

bethesda doesn’t seem to be able to improve the core gameplay because the engine can’t cope.

No, Bethesda can’t improve because they keep catering for the lowest common denominator, engine has never had anything to do with it, it never has. They don’t need a complex RPG system with a ton of flashy new things; New Vegas wasn’t complex, it was fairly streamlined as far as RPGs go, what they need is better writers and better game designers that know how make interesting worlds, quests, characters and gameplay mechanics.

even if you fixed the writing and tossed out the awful procedural generation in favor of hand-crafted environments, at it heart it’s still going to play like a stripped down borderlands 1

Because they’ve been dumbing down their games since forever, bring back more robust roleplay with more actions and consequences, fully fleshed out mechanics, get better writers. Just look at Fallout: London, despite the bugs everyone that has played it agrees it’s the best “Bethesda game” since New Vegas, another game that wasn’t actually made by Bethesda. I’ll repeat: the problem was never the engine.

then everyone left is just fundamentally bad at designing games

Obviously. The problem with Bethesda was never the damn engine, they’ve been consecutively dumbing down their games ever since Oblivion. The only anomaly was New Vegas made by Obsidian, which are actually competent at making RPGs and even with the dated FO3 engine at the time they managed to make one of the best games ever. The problem was never the engine, it’s their game design philosophy.

You don’t want to play on Linux? Get a steam deck… Which runs on Linux! 😀

Ingenious.

I was too little to like tits, but maybe… 🤔

Sure, and if you don’t uninstall Galaxy, go through some hidden menus and download the installers then your GOG games will be gone regardless.

We what? WE WHAT?!

… Unironically my most played Tomb Raider, I remember it being shit even as a kid but for some reason I liked it.
