  • That’s fair, but also, the fact that it has procedural generation should not be a surprise to anyone at this point, they were very open about it.

    I’m just hoping there’s an easy way to distinguish in game between the procedural stuff that’s not worth exploring and the stuff that is. I’m hoping it can be safely ignored, but it WILL be annoying if they hide really interesting questlines on otherwise barren planets.











  • Am I crazy or has there been almost no pre-release coverage of this game?

    Oblivion and Fallout 3 are two of my all-time favourite games (I’ve played the others as well but those 2 stuck with me the most) but I just cannot get hyped for this game. It’s like a black box with people’s hopes and dreams, and it feels like people are just hyping themselves up by imagining what could be inside it.

    I couldn’t imagine pre-ordering this game in particular. Beth has been so quiet I’m worried it may just be a total flop.




  • Unfortunate but this is the truth. Too many of us have been accustomed to small luxuries like “affording takeout”, but we unfortunately have been priced out of being able to afford stuff like this.

    It’s a tough pill to swallow if you’ve been doing it your whole life and think that a functioning adult with a full-time job should be able to afford some takeout every now and again. We are not the generation that gets to enjoy that privilege, it seems.


  • Centrism being villified in America is really weird, as that is explicitly championing extremism over moderation.

    Leaping so hard onto one side that you cannot tolerate anyone’s toe out of line, the party line must be upheld at all costs, is exactly the same kind of extremist shit we go after the right for. Just be better. It’s easy to get caught up into the “us vs them”, “black vs white”, “red vs blue” thing, but it’s really not that simple.

    The example above is a strawman. I can do it too. One side says “kill all minorities”, and the other side says “all minorities should become the new upper class of society.” Neither side is actually pushing for either of those things, and we’ve turned real issues into disconnected make believe.

    You’re simplifying the problem to the point where you don’t even have to think about it or consider a single argument. It’s much easier if you make up some extremist shit and then say anything and everything is justified in opposition of that extreme.
