The game is using two engines. One, the original “brain” of Oblivion. Two, the Unreal Engine 5. The “brain” is doing all of the calculations and whatnot behind the veil, the veil is Unreal Engine 5 with all the pretty effects and textures.

Mods are already over 200 on Nexus for a game that just came out two days ago.

As an Oblivion fan, this seems like a buy for me. The only mods I’d need are some of the better vampire mods and maybe a Bag of Holding mod like in the original. Other than that, it looks pretty good!

On some games, like Fallout 4, the “HD” textures are free DLC. I don’t know why we can’t just do that for most games.

Probably the point, honestly. If they lose money from it, at least they made it worse for the cattle who stuck with it!

Yeah. I see some people trying to talk down to those of us who just call them fucking idiots. “Well, is that any way to get them to see your point of view? How does that help any?”

My brother in Christ, we’ve tried doing that for the LAST 8 YEARS. If they haven’t gotten any more wise since then, and in fact doubled down for round 2, what the fuck else can you do but call the dumbass duck a dumbass duck?!

MSN is also terrible about this shit. I turned off their new tab garbage and replaced it with Bonjourr right before the election because of all the misinformation it was showing. Crazy we just accept this shit man.

As for YouTube, this is very easy to verify. Sign out of YouTube > CTRL+F5 > look at the top viewed videos

You will see what garbage most of the populace sees when they go to YouTube without logging in. I believe this is the real reason they don’t care if people log in or not. They can push the narrative while seeming like they’re being good guys by allowing you to consume content “for free”.

White collar crime is always ignored as long as it doesn’t rock the boat too much or isn’t stealing money from the wealthy.

Bought a Roku back in 2020 or 2021 because the Apple TV was more expensive.

Now I know why.

For what it is worth, I have Roku set up as a REGEX in my Pi-hole so for the most part, any of this nonsense is completely blocked on my Roku.

Needless to say, I shouldn’t have to do this shit with a device I paid for and mainly use for Plex streaming.

I know it’s not the old school version they’re after (I believe they’re going for RuneScape 1?) but 2009scape exists for anyone else interested. Fully playable offline in single player mode, with bots as other “players”, plenty of options like GE buying and selling for the bots, and others. You can also play with other real players by using the launcher too, but I’ve only tried it in single player due to me just trying to scratch that RuneScape itch! Haha!

Here is the official website. They’ve recently moved their project off of GitHub and now host it on Gitlab.

I’ll one up you both! With blackjack and hookers! ChrisTitusTech’s Winutil

You might be thinking about the EU court battle, and I believe they did finally allow other engines. I also haven’t kept up with it, so that could be outdated information!

Orion browser, created by the folks at Kagi, allows both Chrome and Firefox extensions. It’s way better than it was a few years ago, but still has some rough edges. Better than normal safari at least!

That is on Apple, unfortunately. Every browser on the App Store is a safari engine with whatever browsers skin on top, essentially.

That’s a good point! I love accessibility options. Games are supposed to be fun!

Sorry for the Reddit link, but this is the closest I could find on it with a quick search!

I thought it was an odd decision in such a successful franchise known for its choices.

Mass Effect 3 had a setting that made all the options in conversations for you. Not the same, but similar to your comment.

It’s okay! Mac is actually really funny in their sarcasm. They’ve been around for awhile, and this is their schtick. They talk like Trump or MAGAts would for the satire. :)

Same here. I am just so happy to see something different in the browser space. Couldn’t come at a better time!

EDIT: GitHub page

It’s also not fully open source, but on the FAQ page for Orion there is a mention that they are working on it!

I like to play rom hacks, and sure enough, most of them want you to join their Discord to get information about any upcoming updates or what the mod author is making next. I hate it to absolute death.

That’s what I was afraid of. I was hoping to at least get a big generational upgrade.

I’m going to wait and see how AMD handles this new GPU, and if it continues to be available in a few months at a good price, I might consider moving to them since nvidia is more focused on fake frames.

Sigh… PC gaming used to be a little more accessible. :’(
