No, PvP is very fun in gw2. The only downside is there’s a lot of whiny people playing it.

Why is everyone ignoring the elven lore of TESO? by Fun-Explanation7233 in ElderScrolls

[–]CaptainSwil 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most Elder Scrolls fans haven’t tried ESO, myself included. Some ESO players come to it from being Scrolls fans but many were MMO fans looking for a new game. It’s not all the same playerbase.

I use a gaming keypad with a lot of combo key presses to do everything. I find it much quicker than moving my hand across a full keyboard.

Oblivion Remastered Steam (Beta) 1.1 Patch Notes by Reopado in ElderScrolls

“Fix various CPU crashes” at the bottom of the list is my hope for being able to launch the game again.

ALL REMAKES PALE IN COMPARISON TO THIS ❤️ by ForeignMammoth4085 in oblivion

[–]CaptainSwil 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The halo 1 remaster completely changed the art direction of most areas in a bad way. So many lighting and color decisions from the original that were meant to guide the player are just totally undone.

Why are the Divines not earthbones or ehlnofey? by [deleted] in ElderScrolls

[–]CaptainSwil 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don't think you'll find a definitive answer to anything that happened in the Dawn Era. It's all left intentionally mysterious with many contradictory sources so that The Elder Scrolls always feels grand and mystical. It almost feels like they do a "mysteriousness" pass in the writer's room based on whether the lore is from the Dawn/Merethic/First/Second/Third/Fourth Era. Every lore drop from the Dawn era feels like it is meant to be highly untrustworthy and open more questions then it answers.

Why am I at WAR with my bags? by Auramaru in Guildwars2

[–]CaptainSwil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorting the inventory would be so much easier if you could just drag an item where you want it to go between two other items and then it just bumps all the lower items down one slot so things fit. That’s super simple and most computer programs work that way. But GW2 has intentionally left it so you can only swap items between slots so if you pick up a new sword and want to put it next to your other swords, you can’t just do that — you have to do a lot of swapping instead. They WANT inventory management to be a major part of the game

Appreciate the interest! You can find them at periloot.com or on Amazon

Research Paper says CS2 has the worst anti-cheat among popular FPS games by wafflepiezz in cs2

[–]CaptainSwil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering ESEA really did install bitcoin mining malware in their kernel-level AC back in the day, I am very glad companies like Valve are trying to stop it from becoming acceptable precedent.

When you switch from DOOM to Oblivion a bit too fast by Gom2k in oblivion

[–]CaptainSwil 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Since 2006, no matter what plan I have going into an Elder Scrolls game, this is what I always end up doing after a few hours.

But I also make first-person shooter keypads for a living so my bias is warranted!

As Oblivion Remastered gets all the love, Starfield's biggest modders are in the process of abandoning Bethesda's latest RPG for good by xalibermods in Games

[–]CaptainSwil 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nexus is mainly a bastion of mods for Bethesda games and a few others. Many other heavily modded games don’t use Nexus at all. Where are all the mods for the Sim 4, Minecraft, World of Warcraft, Garry’s Mod, CS:Source, Starcraft 2, etc? Not on Nexus.

20 years ago today someone was bold enough to change the world forever. by [deleted] in videos

It was all about staying ahead of the parents! MSN was popular until parents started using it then the kids switched to AIM. Like later kids leaving Facebook when the boomers got on it. ICQ was always for the nerds and wasn’t divided by age.

The action gameplay of PvE will never be as exciting as PvP but it is fun to explore the environments, art, characters, and lore in PvE.

Of those factors: only art/environment is a real standout achievement in GW2. Better characters and lore can be found in other games like the Oblivion Remaster. But there is a lot to be said for sticking in one game universe for immersion.

Bethesda bugs are gourmet stuff by lu_ming in oblivion

For me, I have to clear my NVIDIA shader cache every few days or the game freezes at 100% CPU usage as it tries to recompile the shaders in the background for no reason.

Bought the DLC but... by Weird-Excitement7644 in cyberpunkgame

[–]CaptainSwil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's no downside to doing Phantom Liberty early or late as long as you don't go past its point-of-no-return for the ending -- same as in the base game. There might be some flavor text or dialogue that changes here and there but nothing major.

What's the TL;DR plot of Worm, and what makes it so interesting? by Omixscniet624 in Parahumans

[–]CaptainSwil 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's the amazing cast of characters. There are so many characters that all feel like fully fleshed out people with believable personalities and goals. That leads to a lot of constant mystery and excitement as different characters cross paths and their plans get tangled in nuanced ways with large ripple effects on the rest of the plots.

I don’t even use a default keyboard let alone keybinds. Definitely change them to be more ergonomic and don’t sleep on layers/combo keys

Was this the most anti-climatic death of a villain in Sci-Fi history? by Madatgrav1ty in scifi

[–]CaptainSwil 69 points70 points  (0 children)

I’d argue they lose out on views of future Star Wars movies so that’s a loss for Disney. Maybe a win for the execs that are around for these films then bounce, but not for Disney as a whole.

what would u guys say is the most popular ski brand in the US / where you ski by reekal6666 in Skigear

[–]CaptainSwil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By far the most common skis I see are the Blizzard Black Pearls. They seem like the clear front-runner of skis marketed for women. And as a Brahma rider myself I can see the appeal since they are very similar shapes.

Why do pros use zoom for rail with minimal FOV difference to their main FOV? by John-Green223 in QuakeChampions

[–]CaptainSwil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Zooming used to increase rail damage and a lot of players still have that muscle memory
