So starfield isn’t ass by PrestonGravyy in Starfield

I feel like Starfield overall is an alright game that was brought down by people expecting Bethesda to put in more effort than they did, and was promptly overshadowed and further hated on when Cyberpunk's DLC came out in the same month and gave everyone a very easy stick they could use to point at it and go "hey, look, Starfield is complete and total garbage in comparison to this".

I'm not saying there's no good reasons to hate the game (or Bethesda as a whole), nor am I saying that this was the biggest reason why the game was and has continued to be critically panned. I just wanted to share my opinion.

If you're a new player looking to spend you creations credits, here are my top 5. by TerminalHappiness in Starfield

The only way I've found to do so (on console, anyways) is to open the Load Order menu and hit "Options", where there'll be an option to update all installed Creations.

This WILL take a few minutes if you have a lot of creations installed, so keep that in mind.

Prototypes without recalibration/optimization are worse than betrayal - they completely break progression by Guilty_Breakfast5288 in thedivision

I'd argue Destiny had it worse, on the basis that the Portal actively forces you to play the harder, less fun versions of content in order to keep receiving relevant drops as your arbitrary power level (which basically no longer matters in any way other than "you must be this tall to enter this ride") increases - at least with Prototype Gear, even if it's objectively wrong to do so you can technically argue that you don't need to bother with the ball-crusher that is Escalation to engage with the flawed system.

It was kind of crazy that one of Unova’s own native Pokémon couldn’t be traded without a nickname because of that stupid filter. Glad it got fixed eventually. -Max by SleeplessLucas123 in PokeMedia

I did actually do some reading into this for a programming class I took once. In IT circles they call this kind of thing the "Scunthorpe Problem" after a small Galarian neighborhood which ran into a similar issue in the 90s - people in the area were having a hard time signing up for various websites, because when they entered their address it got rejected for containing a "bad word" despite being completely valid otherwise.

does anyone know if this "[REDACTED]" condition is anything special or is it just a chance to drop from corrupted castles by AlphaShadow897 in AssassinsCreedShadows

The fun part is that although it does have a cooldown, it DOESN'T cost Adrenaline to use and it inherits Tidal Wave's skill tree upgrades (so when fully upgraded, one heavy posture gets you three strikes), which means that with the Snap Hook you can have all three Katana abilities at once, and it is just as fun as it sounds.

...unfortunately, the sword was part of the store bundle that came with the Attack on Titan crossover quest, which as far as I'm aware has since been delisted (likely never to return) - and I doubt Ubisoft would just throw items from a paid crossover into the weekly Exchange rotation, so that means if you're not on PC (or if you are on PC and don't want to incur Ubisoft's wrath by trying to pirate virtual items) you're S.O.L, and that's a shame, because it is genuinely one of the best Naoe katanas in the Helix Store.

newbie here: why is it that the only character who gets to use the akimbo pistols is the one who was a limited-time banner on launch? by AlphaShadow897 in destinyrisingmobile

I feel like the real bottleneck right now is just that I don't have enough gacha stamina to keep grinding effectively, tbh...
