It’s kinda weird to try to include representation without it feeling shoe horned. The world of TES (of any fictional world) is entirely hand-created. There are no accidents, all of it is intentional.

This means that, no matter how it’s done, any character deviating from the “norm” was consciously chosen to be so. These things that need representation (disabilities, gender identity, sexuality, race, etc) are all things people don’t get to choose, so there’s an inherent disconnect between the hand crafted world choosing to include diversity, and the real world necessarily having diversity because of chaos.

Following this thread, there’s never been a case of inclusivity, or exclusivity, that isn’t shoehorned in. It’s always been entirely the will of the author to include or exclude these representations. With that in mind, I think it’s only a good thing to see more diverse authors bringing more diverse worlds and characters into existence.

I’ve heard this a few times, but what does it ultimately mean? Doesn’t it mean that, if they desired, they could still operate and just not sell in Japan? Granted, obviously, if the dev is Japanese (I have no idea in this case and don’t feel like looking) then they’d have some issues, but for a western developer, it’d still be bad, losing all Japanese sales, but overall manageable.

Sure thing. It gets a 1 star. Reason? Leave me the fuck alone.

Define useful.

Will any martial art make it a good idea to engage in a street fight, ever? Will any martial art prevent you from getting shot, stabbed, or ganged up on and beaten? No. Your best bet is situational awareness and a keen sense of GTFO.

However, martial arts are physical activities. They involve precise movements, and allow you a safe space to build conditioning. All of that means that, even if the techniques of the specific art you practice are fundamentally useless in the situation, you’re going to be just better able to use your body effectively. Hopefully to run.

I’d say the biggest thing a martial art has over a traditional sport is conditioning yourself to take a proper hit. Beyond any technique, the first hit is usually the deciding hit in a street fight. Knowing what it’s like to be hit, and being able to not immediately crumble, go further than any technique.

GTA6 will almost certainly be a multiplayer game. As others have pointed out, at least there’s a logic behind it for a multiplayer game. There is exactly zero reason, other than corporate bs, to have this in a single player game. That’s been the argument in this entire thread, so GTA6 possibly getting praise while also requiring a separate account is entirely irrelevant.

Seems like ambien, and only Ambien, does that to a lot of people.

None of those things individually have any impact on the game. And none of them are likely to ever make it into a game by a company like Bethesda. The fact that you’re nitpicking these kinds of things, with no real basis, really makes you wonder the actual reasoning behind your post.

Oh, I’ll use AI. I’ll even say thank you when gpt spits out a good result. The AI itself, I don’t have a problem with, it’s the people currently primarily using the AI.

Issue being, people are always going to drive the speed they feel safe at. A sign, a rule, a law will do nothing to change that, unless you have a pig on every corner enforcing them perfectly. The way you change that is to ~not make the roads feel safe at faster speeds~. Fewer, narrower lanes and traffic calming features will do more for the issues than any speed limit signs will.

At the end of the day, a straight, flat, multi-laned road gives the feeling of safety at high speeds. I won’t say this is THE intent, but at very least is a side effect of the multiple lanes in each direction. Lower that to a travel lane in each direction and a turning lane. Add some medians. Add a chicane or two. Suddenly people drive slower because that’s what the road actually supports.

Add another to the pile of Do Not Pay For.

Part 2 may as well not be out. I’ve forgotten its existence and will continue to do so until it’s on PC. Like any other game. Fuck your exclusivity.

Why does none of this sound like it’d make a game bad, unless you’re hoping your fantasy RPG will own the libs?

Depends on how tight you go. I recommend 10-15 right wraps.

The good kind. Really sturdy. Put a toll booth on it, get your money back in no time.

This explains why horses have so many horsepower nowadays…
