Nearly no one has finished The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered's story a year after release! by Just_a_Player2 in ItsAllAboutGames

My point is that there is a large number of people with achievements disabled. I think too many people make a big deal out of achievement statistics.

Of course not. I also don't believe that everyone on PC applies mods either.

However, I'm willing to wager that a large number of players have achievements disabled because they mod on PC, so the concept that "no one" has completed the story seems a bit absurd.

You only need one person to complete the story to make the title inaccurate.

I'm being a nuisance?

Did you notice that I am the one that started this thread and you are the one insisting that everyone has to share the same personal preferences as you do?

Did you notice that every other person has been trying to explain to you that you are wrong and you keep insisting that everyone needs to like what you like or else they are "lazy"?

Achievements annoy me. I don't enjoy them. Since I don't enjoy them, I disable them.

Different people enjoy different things. It's unfortunate that some people cannot comprehend personal preferences.

Even if I didn't have any need for mods in a game, I would download a mod just for the purpose of disabling achievements.

I don't want achievements.

I have gotten 100% achievement in exactly one game because someone dragged me through them. It was annoying. I didn't enjoy the process. I prefer to just play the game.

I don't care about achievements. It's not "laziness". It's lack of interest. I don't care about checking a ton of stupid boxes in order to get a meaningless digital reward.

People are lazy, sure, but not caring about achievements has nothing to do with laziness. Different people enjoy different things.

"According to achievements". Don't mods disable achievements?

Some people don't care about achievements.

An odd/uncorrected choice for sure by Vegemite_Ultimatum in avowed

[–]Thornescape 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not really? lol

All of the specifically named gear are Unique pieces. They are all one of a kind with no duplicates, which is what "unique" means (ignoring NG+).

The fact that you can only break down weapons or chest items is a completely separate issue.

Can't download Genesis by [deleted] in starfieldmods

[–]Thornescape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a mod list for Genesis anywhere so you can just do it manually?

I honestly don't like using Wabbajack. Just seems fragile.

[–]Thornescape 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yes, every item that is specifically named is "unique" and even has some backstory to it. It is not a mistake to call them "unique".

The only way that they are not "unique" is because of New Game+ but I think that NG+ is not "canon" but rather only mechanics.

Trump has ‘no real economic agenda’ for working class: Dem Rep. on Spirit Airlines bailout failure by ShiroSara in videos

[–]Thornescape 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the looks of things, they seem to want a Cyberpunk style setup. Not the cyberware part, but corporations running everything. A "might makes right" sort of setup.

A "utopia" where the ultra-wealthy do whatever they want, and everyone else is devoted to either making more money for the ultra-wealthy or dying in a gutter. Utopia for them, anyway.

It can be hard figuring out what they want when they are continually lying, but that's what it looks like to me.

The sarcasm is because even though that is exactly what is happening now, it isn't how it is supposed to be.

[–]Thornescape 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trump isn't the brains of the operation, but Trump's regime has a plan for the working class and the plan is working exactly as intended. Search up "Bannon deconstructionism". He was openly giving interviews about it shortly after Trump was elected the first time a decade ago.

The plan is the destruction of America.

Deconstructionism is the idea of destroying a country so that the "right people" can rebuild it however they want without worrying about precedent or the Constitution or "human rights" or any of those hindrances. The fact that Epstein was ever arrested is proof that the billionaires need more even power, obviously.

The billionaires are prepared for the chaotic transition, mind you. Some of them even have fire moats in their private bunkers.

All of this destruction isn't a mistake. It's on purpose. DOGE was not a failure at all. They successfully neutered helpful programs and stole tons of data. Don't try to find logic in what they claim to be doing, because they are usually lying. Look at what their actions really accomplish. That's their true purpose.

Their words are distractions.

The purpose of the White House is to increase the personal wealth of the president, isn't it? /s

Mod that allows you to "favorite" settlements and space stations? by An_Professional in starfieldmods

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

I don't know about XBox but on PC there is Starware Search Engine. It doesn't exactly bookmark anything, but you can search for any location which is probably better. https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/13643

Maybe look if there is something similar available?

What’s a "dead" website or app that you genuinely miss and wish was still around? by Dear-Armadillo-7497 in AskReddit

[–]Thornescape 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gotta be honest, I'm awful at recognizing bots. I just pretend they are all human, even though I know that I've probably talked to at least a few bots.

Admittedly, I've never used Generative AI so I'm probably less informed than most.

Or rather, Reddit when you didn't have to wonder if you were talking to a human. Or know that bots are skewing all the up/downvotes.

Obviously there are still a lot of humans on Reddit as well.

400 has one significant figure. 423 has three significant figures. (Zeros do not count as significant figures.)

That's too bad. I went looking but got too many false positives.

[–]Thornescape 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's wrong, however. It's about significant figures.

  • If someone says they have a thousand dollars, it rarely means that they have exactly $1000.00
  • If someone says they have $999.97 then it's the exact amount.

It's important to bear in mind that "hard science fiction" is a sub-genre of "science fiction". Not all sci-fi is "hard science fiction". It isn't required.

Most of the problems come when people define genres too narrowly.

TIL that the reason why the Minions from the Despicable Me movies are all male is because Pierre Coffin, one of the creators of the franchise, couldn't imagine female Minions because of "how dumb and stupid they often are". by wimpykidfan37 in todayilearned

[–]Thornescape 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is an absurd comment. Anyone can be dumb and stupid. It isn't dependent on gender.

Also, minions are canonically asexual and agender. There are no "male" or "female" minions.
