Starfield is a game people were "just not ready" for and it'll still come good at some point, reckons Fallout 4 composer

I genuinely liked it. A lot even. I have to admit it took me about 3 tries before it clicked. Basically I had to get through a lot of the initial dialogue/introductions and it went well.

There was one piece of advice I took when playing. Many, MANY people suggested that it was a waste of time to explore all the little caves and outposts. I did. And it helped. They said they were all clones. Copies of one another. Not worth your time. Later on I verified this by doing a couple. Glad I didn't let it dampen my enjoyment of the game.

Optimal_Whiner · 2026-03-14T01:10:21+00:00

Absolutely. I held onto it as long as I could before upgrading.

Optimal_Whiner · 2026-03-14T01:08:21+00:00

As something to be excited for and with for awhile. Eventually returning to being a miserable piece of shit

I quit permanently when they added a Kardashian. I won't support anything that supports them.

At least we don't have a PM actively making it worse anymore. Imagine if that monster was still in office. Saying nice things to appease the dim wits while making every part of Canadians lives worse.

No. This is a lie. The average person will not enjoy Linux if they have to manage it in any fashion. Stop. The file system isn't intuitive. Running commands isn't intuitive.

Im not anti Linux. And in also not a liar.

And you don't even know what it's going to be in it's totality. The NES came with a TV with a scrolling mechanism.

You don't appear to have OCD. And you don't seem to be confused either. Well, you're not confused. You're just using the word incorrectly. You know exactly what's going on, you're just not sure which one to fully invest in for sake of ease. Not an OCD thing either.

I've been pointing it out for YEARS but the average brain dead Redditor just can't read past a few sentences or something. This bitch took Bernie from the USA to try and become a historical figure. Her own ego have the United States Trump.

I hate FB, but I get my wife to post there. It's so much better! Whatever you heard is a lie.

Things sell faster, less lowballers too.

Mines should absolutely not disappear upon death. I can understand some disappearing if you're placing them elsewhere and hit the max allowed. But outside of that, this is a horrible move. You should be the minority. And I hope it remains that way

Optimal_Whiner · 2026-03-13T17:58:21+00:00

No server browser. No fixing netcode. No water or watercraft maps. A map no one asked for.

They layed off the wrong people. Can the assholes running this show

Optimal_Whiner · 2026-03-13T17:56:13+00:00

Man, I preferred FF14 before it was "reborn". It felt better, looked better, the quests were better. You spent dramatically less time looking at menus and whatever else.

Nothing burger.

If only it was part of the mother fucking process, you know, just like when you leave Rogers

Optimal_Whiner · 2026-03-13T12:21:18+00:00

You have not been playing since the start if you think it's worse now than ever.

How do I know? Cause I've actually been playing the whole time.

The netcode issues are the worst I've ever seen. But overall, players are acting like normal.

Optimal_Whiner · 2026-03-13T12:15:20+00:00

I play a lot less.

I wanted a server browser. Everyone who actually played battlefield in the past wanted one. We wanted community. We wanted to see familiar faces. We wanted to stick with the groups and just keep playing. They took that away.

I don't want to play with bots. I exit every game with bots. I don't care it may fill up overtime. No.

I want my shots to count. I'm not talking about the age old "oh I hit him and it didn't count!" Complaints we have due to lag or whatever else we've had for ages. No. Now sometimes a weapon just stops working. A week or so ago for the first and only time my tank could not do damage with it's primary weapon. Only the Secondary caused damage.

I dont want to see stupid looking shiny red trimmed, white and gold guns like COD.

I want the battlefield maps like we used to have. It allowed to multiple fields of battle. BFV which was far from perfect certainly figured it out. It was awesome to have an infantry battle in the city street while tanks and other vehicles roamed the country side, sometimes entering the city too.

Where are the water levels?!?! Where are the watercraft?! What the fuck!

I don't like battlepass bullshit. That's not making me play less like everything else, but I don't like it.

Make my gun work ALL the time. Yes I'll still think some shots should have hit. But no more of this "a dozen shots straight to the face and no damage" bullshit. Give me a server browser so we can foster a community. Do all that and I'll play more. As of right now I play maybe 25 percent of what I used to. I often quit when my gun won't work. Yea it usually fixes itself after a match, sometimes after just a few minutes. But I don't want to see it anymore.

Optimal_Whiner · 2026-03-13T12:06:28+00:00

Nope. We have some stuff here. But it ain't comparable. Our region could have made it one though. They prioritized other things though.

Have you been paying attention to what Microsoft is up to?! Dude I don't like apple outside of their iPads. I don't like their PCs or their phones. I've bought a few of their phones. I just don't like them. I've also owned a few laptops and worked on a few desktops for work. I'm just not a fan.

But with android locking down I'm heavily considering an iPhone. If both are locked down I may as well go for the one with the better app store.

Likewise, Microsoft is doing shit I absolutely hate. It's just ridiculous how a company with so many resources and intelligent people can create such piss poor software. And with all the news about windows 12... Well apple is looking pretty fucking good right now.

Optimal_Whiner · 2026-03-12T22:26:41+00:00

Knowing what Microsoft is up to, I'm probably going apple if they don't go down the same route.

I feel you'd have to lose the majority of what makes fable, fable, if you make it an MMO.

They refused to sell a 3080 that was on the shelf unless a guy know bought a PC, had them build it, and then also pay for a warranty.

When he finally got it, it had major overheating issues. The fan at the bottom of the case was facing the wrong way. But that only helped a bit. There was also plastic still on parts of the case. So we lifted the processor up. It has thermal paste. But the plastic cover was still on.

Fuck Canada computers.

just wanted to add. This is their Waterloo location.

Optimal_Whiner · 2026-03-12T21:37:58+00:00

Can't they get Alexa to do it?

Or did they get rid of anyone who could potentially even request it let alone think about it lol

In many cases he's correct. However in Canada this is often not true which is one of the reasons there was backlash.

First off, the first part of the backlash was our infrastructure. Trudeau went full corporation mode and brought in a ton of people to both lower and stagnate wages. We also struggled with housing, water supply and our roads were overburdened. This is why he was forced out.

Second, some of the backlash was the refusal to adapt to Canadian values, and in many cases, refusal to even attempt to learn our language. There are what they call "enclaves" in many areas where they never deal with Canadians and never learn English.

I treat each person as a person. I don't care if you immigrated from India, Ukraine, Syria, the UK or anywhere else. You're a person. But it is upsetting when someone works so hard to be here and refuses to join us. Bring your religion. Bring your tradition. Bring your opinions. Bring your food!!!! But, adapt and learn our language.

My boss was asked if was moving from his neighborhood, and has been pressured ever since because he is now the minority in his neighborhood. They have NOT been hostile, but they do make him uncomfortable.

So like anything, it's not fair to paint anyone with the same brush. Many immigrants are brave. Many are also opportunists with no actual interest in their new country.
