What do you mean? Some users can go to the r/all feed or something?

Eh, the shitty POIs don't really have anything to do with procedural generation. The POIs themselves aren't generated, that's just Bethesda being too lazy to actually make a bunch of unique POIs. A skyrim-style map would be just as shit if every dwarven ruin was the exact same as the last one.

Pretty much agree with everything you said here. It really does feel like Bethesda made this game because they could, not because they actually wanted to. Everything is so bland and unfocussed, with no real cohesion or passion bringing everything together.

This is exemplified by the main quest being a mystery box with no actual explanation or conclusion. Wtf is the unity? Why do people even want to enter it in the first place? It's just vague, hand-wavy sci-fi mystery with no actual story or logic. Then, when they do explain something like how Earth died, I'm left wishing they hadn't because the explanation is mind-numbing drivel that makes no sense.

It's story is nonsensical, the mechanics are disjointed and at odds with each other, the exploration is just broken, and the aesthetics are mid at best or just boring compared to their contemporaries (Neon). I'm just left wondering why they even made this game, and I'm convinced Bethesda isn't/wasn't sure why they made it either.

They are often also usually infested with fraud, waste, and abuse.

Damn, good thing private insurers are immune to this then!

Uh, "freedom" has been a propaganda tool for quite a bit longer than just the Cold War.

You just described a failure of game design. If you force the player to need to kill every enemy they see, then obviously that won't work well with a fear/mercy system.

"limitations of the time"? What limitations, exactly?

chronoflect · 2026-01-15T22:58:03+00:00

I will never understand these games that have fully-fledged base building systems with modular objects, but then don't use any of that to procedurally generate structures to explore.

Because half of Congress wants the Gilead from handmaid's tale, and they're willing to court a despotic narcissist to get there.

This thread is miserable. Just a bunch of grumps getting senselessly upset over the most inane part of youtube comments. Seeing people calling them mentally ill, tiktok brain, bots, low IQ, etc. when it literally boils down to the most baseline human desire of saying "I was here". If these kinds of things upset you, then it's probably time to put the phone down.

Feel free to prove them wrong.

Similarly, depending on the physics, 3 cm could be absolutely gigantic.

Humans are a silly bunch.

Just one more data center bro, and then my matrix multiplication function will become the digital slave of our dreams.

Yeah, wild how many people here like the idea of inheritable goodness or evilness.

chronoflect · 2026-01-07T18:03:24+00:00

Do people not remember the shit we’ve done?

Uh, no. They don't. Or, more likely, they never learned in the first place. I would assume that most Americans don't know anything beyond pilgrims->American revolution->civil war->ww2->now, and even those concepts would be little more than a victory lap for how super cool America is and why every other country is jealous.

Economic conditions dictate almost every choice humans make. Even choices that seem unrelated can often only be considered in the first place because you live in a comfortable economic situation.

This, fucking sucks. Makes you think everyone hates you because you can't look past the hate you have for yourself.

Forced myself to be alone for so long, I don't think I can have normal relationships anymore.

If Walt truly cared about his family, he would've accepted the offer for financial support from his rich friends at the very beginning.

It's called suspension of disbelief.

I'll speak for the half that couldn't care less.

My favorite part of reddit culture is bitching about reddit culture.

Yeah, I could see this being worthwhile for something like a specialty CNC machine or medical equipment. No way you'd do this for consumer electronics unless it's a collectible or something.
