      As a Nintendo fan, this is pretty accurate.

      Although getting joycon drift twice and then being able to play TOTK free from drift by pirating it onto my Deck may have finally brought the roots free.

      I want my favourite Nintendo games to become open source or open domain. Why do we have to wait like a century for open domain? 20-40 years would be much more reasonable.

        What emulator and settings are you using for ToTK? I tried playing it on my beefy desktop, and it couldn’t get passed 40-50 frame in the beginning area, while standing still…

          I downloaded Yuzu from flathub before Nintendo went after it, but continued to use it after.

          I had to expand the swapfile on my Steam Deck to prevent it from frequently crashing, but I don’t really care about frame rate, so long as it’s playable. I’ve not been paying attention to my frame rate.

    Dunno if it’s TES or Fallout that you’re into, but if it’s the former, check out the Beyond Skyrim project. It’s extremely ambitious, but they’re attempting to create the entirety of Tamriel as a series of Skyrim mods.

    I just follow Skywind. I can’t give a fuck about whatever Bethesda does, as long as they leave those folks alone.

      Thank you for bringing skywind to my attention!! I was just nerding* out at my girlfriend with nostalgia for Morrowind, can’t wait until that’s playable!

    I’ve been playing Bethesda games since Oblivion. I finally stopped pre-ordering after Fallout 4. I’m getting sick of immersion-breaking bugs and computer-generated fetch quests taking the place of real story writing.

      Bethesda hasn’t done much since Skyrim because I still don’t see an Elder Scrolls 6.

      Edit: Doom. I partly take it back. Their treatment of Doom is perfect.

        That would be largely because Bethesda had no hand in Doom at all beyond publishing, and frankly, I’m still impressed because I expected them to fuck that up too.

        It’s amazing the good games you get when you let good developers just do their thing.

      I don’t even mind some of the bugs, I’m just mad at “oh go grab an identical vase to that last one but from someone else’s house…congrats now you’re the leader of the thieves’ guild haha.” Gone are the days of going through someone’s crawlspace to loosen a few bolts and drop a giant stuffed moose head on them, and why the fuck did y’all change wabbajack?!

    I know several people riding the dicks of the CoD devs. Like they are hoping it’s going to get better and keep throwing money at them.

      They have been using the same formula for 15 years and it still works, I have no idea what the people you know are expecting

      Fuck the publishers for sure, the devs aren’t all bad people I can only assume

      I’ll keep sucking 3archs dick, though, they’re literally the only company making the kind of zombies content that actually scratches my fucking itch for it. I hate it

        Aren’t a significant percentage of the COD devs all ex Raven Software employees? They were good ass developers. They just got purchased and sent to the mines.

    Need For Speed vibes, although Heat and Unbound is sorta decent in their own ways.

      NFS Heat felt good. Just a good game.

      Everything between Heat and the first Most Wanted (I think?) was trash, I looked at reviews and played demos and saw nothing but garbage and usually a frontend for a microtransaction model.

      I’m one of those who didn’t buy Unbound because the theme ended up being a bit of a gimmick, they didn’t lean into it enough to make it cool, they held back and delivered something unexciting.

    I’ve kinda wanted to firebomb EA and Bioware offices for the shit they’ve put my partner through lol. She so desperately wanted DA4 to be a good CRPG, or at least follow close to Inquisition and carry on the story.

    The Veilguard has shown none of that and every time something new for that shit show gets shown, I worry she’s going to cry.

        Nothing unhealthy about that. Video games, crying and arson are the holy trinity of our generation. It’s just contemporary culture.
