For all the problems the game has, the major thing they get right is the environment.
Almost every area looks more than great, some are industrial, luxurious, barren, creepy, outright hostile, or cozy, but they are usually always gorgeous.
The environments are what pushed me to keep giving the game a chance after the initial shock of not having a cohesive overworld.
I’ve flipped flopped my consensus about the game a couple times, but my conclusion is this…
Starfield is not going to be what you expected from Skyrim in space, at first. It will seem weird and claustrophobic and broken.
But if you give yourself a bit to acclimate to the world they’ve built, there is a surprisingly engaging game underneath.
I believe they’ve left most planets barren on purpose, so they can easily shove DLC wherever they want for the next 10 years.
“New facehugger planet, 20 hours of exciting quests and valuable loot! - $29.99”
That’s 100% going to happen.
Fortunately that doesn’t work.
Even if Musk totally shut down Twitter, then opened an identical platform named X, the contracts Twitter held are still enforceable under the law.
There might be stipulations in the contracts where severance isn’t payable if the company fails, but if I remember correctly, this severance is something mandated by state law, and not just a contractual perk.
So bottom line, Musk is liable unless his lawyers are able to worm their way into a settlement.
It really is a big move, since it likely cost them millions in early sales.
I probably would have bought it already if I couldn’t find a crack, but now I can pirate and wait for a nice sale.
I’m sure I’m not the only one.
You can just click the checkbox for “Copy crack to install directory” to get the installer to do everything for you.
I’m not sure why that isn’t the default.
Do you keep the game if you get the “Deluxe Upgrade” on GamePass? Or do you have to keep paying the subscription if you want to play?
Which GPU did you get?
And also, the “early access” is just a way to get people to pay more for the game in the first week.
By all reasonable standards, the game has been fully released.
“Pre-ordering piracy”… What does that even mean?

I don’t know why you’d want to rent the game if you’ve already got the cracked copy, but I would be surprised if the save files were any different between the two platforms.
If they used SMS those records are still around.
Or did they use something else?
I mean, illegal online transactions are like the one place where crypto really shines.
I don’t remember details but essentially it was decided (in some court, somewhere, i guess) that linking to illegally copied material was also illegal.
This proposed change has been discussed in congress, but big tech is fighting it hard, as it would make moderation of social media very expensive and/or restrictive. Basically, certain parties want to hold platforms legally responsible for the content they host, even if that content was posted by users.
It would make it nearly impossible to legally operate a FOSS platform like Lemmy. Fortunately for us, it’s one of the few areas where the interests align for both big tech and the common man.
IRC the new loophole became encoding the link to what ever you wanted to copy, for example as base64.
Base64 encoding is not a legal loophole, it’s a method to avoid automated content filters on platforms like Reddit and Discord. Encoding a link in base64 offers no legal protections.
That’s disingenuous.
The point is to seem like he’s got a plan for the migrant crisis by bussing them out of state.
And if he sends them to Blue states where services are better for undocumented migrants, isn’t that better for the individuals? Or would they really be better off in Texas?
Regardless, my point is, if you don’t try to understand why your political opponent is doing something, you’ll never be able to fix anything.
Sure it does.
It makes teachers wonder why, yet again, they’re being forced to bear the brunt of the culture war, and they’re going to eventually quit.
Then the schools won’t be able to find good teachers, the education system will be further deteriorated, and private schools will become the only schools worth attending, further eroding the future prospects of working-class Floridian children and America as a whole.
I don’t think that’s the grand strategy at play, I just think the people in charge don’t care if it happens, as long as they get enough praise from their voters.
That’s generally how it works.
Just pick a mid-sized instance and there’s a 99% chance it’s more stable than Lemmy.world right now.
Look at users who don’t sound insane and see where they’re posting from.
I think it’s good for USB standards to move slow.
Finally just about every device I buy has USB-C now. If they release a new connector that’ll just mean using 2 different cables for everything again.
If it does get crazy, we’re all going to suffer as the government cracks down hard on domestic terrorism.
And just like in 2001, “domestic terrorism” will mean whatever they want it to mean.
The son’s name was Fred Finger, and he died unmarried in his 40’s due to complications from AIDS.
The guy above was joking.
