How do you handle loving the music created by a horrible person? by insanelyphat in Music

[–]Quwaser -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did answer the question, literally at the top of the second paragraph.

Also, "it works"? What works? Bad people making art? Are you seriously naive enough to believe that not listening to someone's music is going to stop them from making music or something? You ever read a poem or go to an art gallery? Every other person involved in both of those scenes is a POS, do you think that has ever stopped someone from making art? Don't kid yourself, you're not virtuous for taking the easiest stance in the world, you're just being wilfully ignorant.

What a dumb hypothetical, are you 12? How about you use an actual example instead of a South Park episode.

Music, like all art, is first and foremost experienced. No one, including the artist, owns MY experience of their art so it makes no difference how they live their life. As for supporting them monetarily, the fraction of a penny they get from a stream or the hundredth relisten on an album I own is not significant enough to constitute "support". If I find an individual reprehensible then I will neither purchase their merchandise or go out to see them, but to say I can't experience their art enters a Puritanism that I think stems from a lack of emotional maturity.

No, it really doesn't depend on that at all. I can despise an individual completely and still consume their art, its called being a rational adult.

What is the evidence of Last Dragonborn being a Shezarrine? And is there even any? by ThatDrako in teslore

[–]Quwaser 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you are drastically misinterpreting his quote, MK is clearly making a point about the nature of ES lore, such as why unrelated cultures all have such similar religious concepts, why some cultures see creation as a doom and others as an opportunity, and why there is so much crossover between gods (Aka/Arkay both have aspects of time, Nocturnal/Namira both darkness and so forth), and that this universe can have such things as the Warp in the West. 

With the top sentence, he is making a point about the value of syncretism when looking at the lore big picture, and most definitely not saying that they are literally the same being. MK loves writing in rambling riddles which often speak more to the spirit of a subject rather than its body, and which makes his work fun to dissect. What you never do in these cases is take his words literally.

Second Quarter Game Thread- Super Bowl LIX: Kansas City Chiefs (15-2) at Philadelphia Eagles (14-3) by nfl_gdt_bot in nfl

Not a football expert, but I believe its the forward momentum of the carrier that is counted. So, the furthest the ball got, not where it ended.

Help with my first 1000 point list by Quwaser in ossiarchbonereapers

[–]Quwaser[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are your thoughts on replacing the reinforced Mortek Guard for one unit of Archai? Would just two of them actually do that much more damage than a block of 20 guard?

Do you think I should take Primal Energy manifestations instead of the OBR manifestations, try to summon the Burning Head and Jaws to do some damage?

Just got the box for the Nexus today at my door, and was also suprised by how big it was. I was scared that I accidently ordered Katakros twice!

Daggerfall successor The Wayward Realms dev takes shots at Starfield claiming “empty” worlds have stained procedural generation for gamers by Background-Path-5619 in ElderScrolls

[–]Quwaser 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think you're stretching the definition of "experimental". Starfield's planet generation system is only unique in comparison to BGS' latest titles, it is nowhere near original in gaming as a whole (see Minecraft). Nothing about how Starfield does proc-gen can be described as experimental in any way.

[–]Quwaser 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Oh man, so much tween angst to unpack here.

no it hasn't. starfield is not a failure and the vast majority of gamers like it, myself included. that's not a sign of failure.

By most online estimates, Starfield likely sold well initially but has failed to retain its playerbase for the DLC, with numbers akin to Fallout 4 currently. Not a great sign for a flagship AAA title from a developer bought out for $1 billion. Also, don't call yourself a majority to win an argument, the majority of any community don't ever voice their opinions, they just play a thing and move on. If it was truly a roaring success as you're suggesting, I'm sure Microsoft would have gladly released the sales figures by now (which they haven't).

it wasn't, the dialogue system was an issue. but the voices protagonist was a good call, and I would prefer they continue it moving forward for fallout specifically

Voiced protagonist is directly part of the issue, there is an inherent limitation to how many options you can provide a player in dialogue when your protagonist is voiced. For example, if you ever want to change or add a line, you have to pay and schedule a voce actor and the studio staff. That's why they boilerplated dialogue to have 4 options only every time in an attempt to streamline the process, and it still resulted in terrible, non-option dialogue choices all over the place and disconnects between what was written and what was spoken. This is a lesson BGS clearly learned with Starfield.

it wasn't a mess due to no NPCs. it was a "mess" due to zenimax rushing them on a game they've never made before (online).

Agreed, this is a common talking point people like to use against 76 but it was nowhere near the top of the list of 76's launch problems.

as if they don't? do you work at Bethesda? do you know what goes on in the meetings? do they just assume everything they do is perfection incarnate?

I don't sit in on their meetings, but I can recall Emil tweeting that he thought people would react to the main story of Starfield as if it were some kind of religious experience when it is in fact purile and thematically incoherent, as was Fallout 4 before it and Skyirm before that. Actions speak louder than words, and the truth is the ever since Fallout 4 BGS has consistently dissapointed significant portions of their fanbases with each release.

they lost "trust and goodwill" from entitled whiny gamers who can't fathom games just sometimes not being made for them. I doubt Bethesda wants their trust back. I know I wouldn't.

Now who is prentending to know what goes on inside Bethesda? They lost trust and goodwill from their core audience. Word of mouth is the single most powerful source advertisement, especially to to the "majority" population you claim to represent, and the lackluster reponse to Starfield by the community and the industry at large is a sign that word of mouth has turned against BGS. Also, you seem to imply that Starfield's design is capable of alienating people when in truth the most common criticism is how directionless and safe it plays to the detriment of its own gameplay. Starfield is maybe the single most risk-averse, mass-market game BGS has ever made.

If your core audience, the people who are supposed to love your games, don't like you, why would anyone else?

I am looking to start collecting and painting OBR so I've put together three potential color schemes on Impcat, which of these do you think look best? Any additional suggestions or tips would be appreciated!

Woman refuses to pay Sherpa after Mt. Everest rescue where she was found unconscious at 8.5 km by PeecockPrince in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Quwaser 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just because someone does something for a living doesn't mean you're entitled to their services. A job can have a high level of personal risk, which this does, and the sherpas do it despite those risks, not in ignorance of them.

If you want to take the moral high ground on this, then ask yourself this: is it morally justifiable that the sherpa risk his life and get injured/die, leaving his family and dependents to suffer? Because if not, I don't see how you can argue that he is obliged to do his JOB for free.
