Merry Christmas from Star Wars: The Old Republic; Rix’larril’an of the Ascendancy!
Bethesda’s Launcher is Everything You Expect
From the company that brought us Fallout 76 comes a storefront / Steam competitor. It's a work of perfect awfulness. This is a monument to un-usability and anti-features.
The Plot-Driven Door
You know how videogames sometimes do that thing where it's preposterously hard to go through a simple door? This one is really bad.
Tenpenny Tower
Bethesda felt the need to jam a morality system into Fallout 3, and they blew it. Good and evil make no sense and the moral compass points sideways.
The Brilliance of Mass Effect
What is "Domino Worldbuilding" and how did it help to make Mass Effect one of the most interesting settings in modern RPGs?
Punishing The Internet for Sharing
Why make millions on your video game when you could be making HUNDREDS on frivolous copyright claims?
Merry Christmas, Paige Francis!
I wish I knew who you are. You said that you remember comments I’ve made on this blog from 12 years ago, but your name is completely unfamiliar to me.
Regardless, I hope that you and your family have a wonderful holiday. Cheers!
my, how mysterious :>
Happy Easter everyone! :>
Sorry I took so long to respond, Leslee. But I mentioned you in a comment today and wanted to make sure I spelled your name right. I got very, very sick Christmas Eve after a day at my parent’s house, who I found out two days later had actually just recovered from a minor bout with Covid…they didn’t think it was worth mentioning.
But to the point…when I posted here years ago it was under an alias that I used for two decades. I haven’t gone back to see if the comments are still findable here, to be honest. I had some pretty significant life-changing experiences over the last few years and kind of…left that identity behind. Part-rebranding, part-self-discovery.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas everybody!
Merry christmas!
Merry Christmas!
Is it still Christmas over there? It is here.
