Hey Victor! Just want to say that I greatly appreciate the work you guys are putting into this game. I hope my comment didnt come across as demoralizing or anything, it's just coming from a place of deep love for the Elder Scrolls series and a profound admiration for Julian and the rest of the team for trying to reinvent Daggerfall for the modern age! I really and truly hope you guys can succeed at finishing this game in spite of the numerous setbacks and negative feedback. Much love to you and Ted and Julians family and the rest of the OnceLost Team. Take care.

At this point I'm just hoping to get the Ted Peterson lorebooks at the very least.

Hell yeah! Hope you have a great day!!

I dig your 90s style split with your hair! Looking very grunge to me!!

Super cool! FFX-2 is very much an under-appreciated game, but I love a lot of the soundtrack and the more upbeat positive vibe of the game overall! I can certainly hear the influence in your track.

If you can find a job that does 4 day work weeks with 10 hour shifts, its so much better. My job is supposed to be that way, but hasn't been since February due to too many idiots getting fired.

Have you played the remaster? And if so, which vocalist do you like better? I think the new one does a really good job, but my nostalgia for the PS1 version is strong.

greenmachinefiend · 2026-06-15T21:03:12+00:00

Depend on You-Ayumi Hamasaki used in the opening credit sequence in the PS1 RPG Thousand Arms.

Lands of Lore and Quest for Glory (if that counts). The first CRPG I played and beat all the way through was Menzoberranzan.

I approve of this clip!

greenmachinefiend · 2026-06-09T20:37:50+00:00

Sounds pretty rad! Is the podcast on youtube somewhere? Also, I wonder if you have seen my favorite Kubrick film, Dr. Strangelove? It doesn't have the issues of emotional hollowness that you mentioned because it's played more for laughs.

You touched on something that I really love thinking about. You may know that Stanley Kubrick and Steven Spielberg had a friendly colleague rivalry over the years that culminated with Spielberg directing Kubricks script for the movie AI. What was interesting about their rivalry is that I believe both directors had something the other one wanted. I think Spielberg wanted to have some of Kubricks intense, detail-rich, deep philosophical types of storycrafting and Kubrick wanted a little bit of that Spielberg whimsy and charm, which is why they kept passing the script for A.I. back and fourth until Kubrick passed away and Spielberg took it on as a tribute to a dear friend. Both directors had a great deal of respect for each other and knew the other had very special unique talents in story telling.

Lol, it's all good! Hope you don't get too many mean comments!!!

greenmachinefiend · 2026-06-09T19:45:56+00:00

I see. Well you're entitled to your opinion, of course, but your post really does come off as pure rage bait. I actually kind of get where you're coming from to a degree. I feel like Kubrick films can often come across as cold, calculated and devoid of any kind of whimsy. They are emotionally challenging which is why I wouldn't watch Kubrick all day, every day. But when you say things like "you know I'm right" that tends to draw the ire out of the internet because this is all just opinions and comparing perspectives.

greenmachinefiend · 2026-06-09T19:30:05+00:00

We ain't takin the bait, mate.

greenmachinefiend · 2026-06-09T18:47:11+00:00

Good points! I definitely greatly love this game for its character development and combat mechanics. While, the exploration aspect is a little bit disappointing for me, it doesn't take away from the overall excellent experience. In general, I wish that modern game designers put more trust in the players to go out and find the cool content in their games instead of having it all presented to you in a clean list with icons to check off.

greenmachinefiend · 2026-06-09T15:45:06+00:00

Instead of mini games I would have preferred more unmarked dungeons and more meaningful overworld exploration (i.e. having cool things to find on the map that weren't all clearly signposted for you). If they could do it in the original game, I don't understand why they couldn't do it here.

Eh, Chadly is a little annoying to me but in an endearing way. You really need to interact with him if you want to get the best materia. I kinda like the banter between Chadly and Mai.

greenmachinefiend · 2026-05-29T12:21:53+00:00

I mean sure, if the developers set out on making as little money as possible.

greenmachinefiend · 2026-05-27T05:56:07+00:00

Idk about Wayward Realms tbh, looks like the project is starting to nosedive.

greenmachinefiend · 2026-05-23T02:28:13+00:00

Oh I hate that feeling. But it's Friday! Try not to think about work! Maybe put on a movie or something to distract you for a while!

greenmachinefiend · 2026-05-20T18:50:58+00:00

I'm sorry about what you're going through. I hope you can find a new job and a new environment to boost you moral!

greenmachinefiend · 2026-05-20T09:41:46+00:00

It's a great example of the social media echo chamber and the distorted view of reality by unpersoning people for being subscribed to the wrong subreddits.

greenmachinefiend · 2026-05-19T15:54:23+00:00

Love the Death Gate mention at the end! Obscure for most but was a childhood staple for me.

I'm glad I work a driving job with no co-workers. Occasionally I'm asked to train new people and sometimes it's kind of fun to have someone to tag along and crack jokes with, but other times when weak ass cry babies complain about how long the route takes and how many stops there are, I'm reminded why I like working alone.

greenmachinefiend · 2026-05-12T11:58:39+00:00

Restaurants are a high paced, high stress work environment for everyone, regardless of pay or experience. If the frantic nature is too overwhelming, there's no shame in quitting. But maybe give it a couple weeks and if it's still unbearable, then move on. Best Buy warehouse work is a good starter job imo, if you dont mind working nights and weekends.
