Damn, there might be as much time between V and VI as between I and V.

Morrowind to Oblivion to Skyrim was 9 years TOTAL. (2002, 2006, 2011)

I don’t think this person actually thinks Donna is a bitch though. Or is actually encouraging people to do that.

I’ve known a lot of people who go by their middle names because their first name is a family name (who they hate). Like if you call them by their first name, it’s the equivalent of dead naming.

Some of those people are anti-trans.

MMOs charge indefinitely.

I’ve never heard someone verbally say “PSX”. Does that happen?

I assume people were worried about them pulling an Xbox, especially since they are largely the same concept.

I don’t like the idea of a game that can’t be played long after the servers have gone down.

But I’m glad that it can still be traded or sold after purchase unlike what Xbox tried to do.

Oblivion may have technically better graphics. But it’s ugly. Everything is orange and shiny.

Plus the level scaling is the worst in any game I’ve ever played, by far. And level scaling is already not a great system.

Morrowind is dated, but still has a great look. The gameplay is tough at first glance, but is the foundation of a great role playing system.

Oblivion needs a remake more.

If I care enough about a game to pay $70 for it, I want to own it. And I want to be able to let a friend borrow it. And I want to be able to sell it.

I know people like their convenience. But I don’t really understand it either unless it’s a game you might want to play in the spur of the moment (Call of Duty or something like that). If I’m playing a longish story-heavy, I’m just leaving that disc in my console for awhile.

They made that ad and released it the same day after Xbox announced their disc games would be one-time use activation keys.

I think it’s probably more focused on those impacted most and (unfortunately) where the most sympathy is.

A lot of transphobia is under the guise of women’s rights (sports, bathrooms). But also, anyone can (usually) participate it men’s sports and men are generally not threatened by someone using the men’s bathroom. That doesn’t always apply. But it’s usually women who suffer the most.

If a Colorado court can decide to remove a candidate, then all the republicans need to do is get a majority in the courts of swing states and they would forever have the presidency.

It should be up SCOTUS to validate or invalidate Colorado’s findings. It would never be Colorado as the final word. That’s how the courts already work. Lower courts rule and higher courts can take further action if needed.

I’m all for SCOTUS reform though.

Ideally the courts would rule on it and it would be up to congress with a supermajority to reverse it.

To be clear, a court did rule that he committed treason and was barred from running. SCOTUS did not say they were wrong, they only stated that they (the fucking courts) did not have the power to APPLY THE CONSTITUTION.

So yeah. It would be up to the courts to apply the constitution and SCOTUS would have the final word. I’m not sure why it would be any different from any other ammendment.

I don’t support the death penalty because those individuals are no threat to society, many of them are innocent, and the government shouldn’t have that kind of power when it’s unnecessary.

None of that applies. Also, I don’t wish him dead. I just want him gone. The method of his removal is just a secondary concern.

Technically he’s barred from office per the 14th amendment.

Technically is great until it’s ignored.

The two worst reactions that I saw were gaming and NFL. You’re right that most of the subs were fine. It’s the big ones that were addictive to a point I didn’t realize until something happened.

Some of my favorite subs would have a total meltdown, like end of the world shit, because it closed for 24 hours. Then when the app bans happened, there were the blackouts and once again, people were angry at the audacity of the mods not being submissive.

They want their content above literally anything else. Take it away for a moment and their entire world collapses. And when you see the all consuming, brain-dead, content they were viewing, AND THE IMPORTANCE THEY PUT ON IT, it’s no wonder why they have the reputation they do. That was very sobering.

I think even 10 years ago Reddit was a lot bigger. The niche subs still had some traction. Like, Morrowind there 10 years ago had more stuff than the Elder Scrolls community here does. (I could be misremembering, but that feels right.)

BUT you’re right that it wasn’t endless filler back then. There was an end, and then you were done.

What I hate about Lemmy is the lack of content in semi-specific communities.

What I love about Lemmy is that there’s so much less content overall. I run out of content and I log off. Reddit was a bottomless pit.
