    That 70's Music

    I have a pet theory that it's because all of these folks who were 20 somethings in the 70s were the last generation to get a real classical education as young people, before the 60s hippies started showing up in schools as teachers and parents and demanding changes. Roger Waters shits all over...

    Once I would have agreed with you, but now I'd be willing to bet that if some George Floyed type went and assassinated the Japanese Emperor the US government would go out of it's way to call "racism" and to try and get him freed.

    That 70's Music

    God that song is crazy good. I remember how it blew my mind the first time I heard it. I rushed out and bought the album right away, and was then blown away again by the story it tells basically from start to finish. I have for decades now jokingly said that Rock attained perfection in 1976 (the...

    90s songs that were OK the first time, but gave you cancer after they were played nonstop for months

    Not much I can really add to here. Most of the music I loved from the 90s I still mostly enjoy (though my tastes have changed). I'd say the only music I'd change the channel on if it came on the Radio now, vs having turned the dial up to 11 back in the day, is Nirvana. I can't really say why. I...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Almost a month since the last post til today's bump. Crazy! Once upon a time this thread would have had more daily updates than the Politics thread. How times have changed. I think the main problem here is that we can't go 20 years back in time. We are no longer college kids with plenty of...

    It's a good first step in crafting, but I do wish they'd just let you learn all crafting professions on one character. At first I thought that was what they were aiming for when they were talking about how people just created multiple characters to get around this. I don't see that changing if...

    OK, here is another take on the whole Unity installation thing. What if I have two computers and install a game on both PCs? Do the devs have to pay for both installs, even though I only bought the game once? Or what if I buy a new PC and install the game again? Or just keep deleting and...

    OK, I'll give you that. We're pretty "normal" compared to tide-pod eating, dick-chopping, millennials. I was more thinking of the previous 1000 generations of human "normalcy". :emoji_sweat_smile:

    I was on Usenet "forums" when I was 11 years old. Chatted to strangers on other BBS systems as a young teenager. Found Rotten.com early, and 4chan a year after it launched. I don't know what the fuck is wrong with you lot, but I grew up a normal human being! Just kidding! If I were a normal...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    This thread made me think of how game development seems to have peaked or to have at best plateaued about 10-15 years ago depending on how you look at it. Look at how small teams of dedicated developers made some of the awesome games of the late 90s, early 2000s, and how sequels a few years...

    Ancient Civilizations

    There is a lot of strange things when it comes to studying the genetic history of the British Isles. Suffice to say, those who first roamed the lands after the retreat of the Ice Sheet no longer have any genetic legacy there, and, it seems that the population has been either entirely or mostly...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I agree. The good old "five minute day" of old school D&D where you'd have a long rest after your mage had blown through all his spells fighting some trash mobs was a bit unrealistic. The key to a good game is the ability to allow the player to pace timed or limited resources with periods of...

    I see that's a Harry Turtledove novel. He also wrote the World War series in which basically an advanced reptile race invades Earth with nukes and hydrogen fuelled tanks and shit during the height of WWII. The Allies and Axis have to unite to defeat them. I think he then wrote a followup story...

    My personal Flood Theory is the Black Sea Deluge theory. Long story short, the Black Sea used to be much smaller than it was, and it was a fresh water lake. Basically the dark blue on the map. After a large earthquake in the Bosphorus some 7-8 thousand years ago fractured the rock holding back...

    On my first playthrough I did the main quest once in a while until I got to the Falmor Embassy thing, but it was bugged out. I didn't even mind, there was so much else to do. I've only ever once done the entire main quest, and that was on a special "cheat" character I made that had god mode and...

    A lot of people seem disappointed that this is just "Skyrim in Space", but on the flip side, another bunch of people are very happy that it is just "Skyrim in Space". Each to his own. Personally, I think Skyrim is one of the best games I've ever played, and modding is a huge part of that. But as...

    Rant time on: Outside of the Jeep Wrangler and the Lada Niva, it seems that most other jeeps (I use the generic term here) have all mutated into luxury brand vehicles. At least it seems so to me. By that I mean in my view, a "real" jeep is a 4x4 vehicle that when you see it you know it's...

    Fuck yeah, just look at the shit that's going on here. We're probably the equivalent of the Jerry Springer show in the Galactic Community.

    Not exactly setting the bar very high lol. Still, if they end up publishing a relatively bug free game, I expect some Nexus modders to mod in a few good bugs just so people can have an authentic Bethesda experience... Starfield will be the least buggy Bethesda Game Ever
