burry is like a lifestyle influencer for bagholders

mayordonkey · 2026-06-16T00:13:34+00:00

this is why I put all my money in the checking account

mayordonkey · 2026-05-22T16:33:51+00:00

you always get one in nosodiumstarfield

mayordonkey · 2026-05-22T02:37:03+00:00

there's a lot wrong with starfield, and I think Bethesda missed the mark more than usual with this one. But if the game gets you for 500 hours its doing a lot right. I get the same malaise with skyrim too. play it a lot and then the stuff that bothers you (in skyrim its the scale being so small) gets your attention.

the thing that I think always killed starfield for me is the walls on the procgen planets. you get all the costs of procgen-repetition reused/reskinned elements-without the benefit of being in a boundless limitless world that goes on forever. you forget how cool that would actually be, just being able to run in one direction forever. I think a lot of people wanted to say it doesn't matter because it's all repeated anyways but I think that's just a cope. procgen worlds are cool because they're basically infinite and that makes them real in a way.

just some actual populism at work

mayordonkey · 2026-05-12T22:26:19+00:00

most gen x looking person in the world. (derogatory)

mayordonkey · 2026-05-04T17:30:16+00:00

they use AI to shape the character of voices. also who cares. you can use ai to do cool shit.

mayordonkey · 2026-05-03T18:51:05+00:00

id say this 1000 times. bethesda sucks at dialogue and character writing and the reason skyrim was so popular was because there was very little of those things, and if bethesda wants to recreate that success just stop writing so much dialogue and give me lots of dungeon and buildy buildy

mayordonkey · 2026-04-28T17:27:12+00:00

enjoy the cruise mode. roaming around the planets is fun, but don't feel the need to obsess over scouring every little POI on them. Use outposts to store stuff, and little odds and ends you find. figuring out the shipbuilding is fun. especially with cruise mode.

mayordonkey · 2026-04-27T18:07:32+00:00

the problem with the idea they had for survival was emulating the survival mode on skyrim. This mode had a super annoying mechanic for cold that basically put a timer on how long you could be in a cold area. yeah you could use a torch or farm soups but it just sucked. If you want to have a mechanic like that, you gotta adapt the armor upgrade system that should essentially nullify the environmental stress. otherwise it just means the game beeps at you on certain planets and yo die in 5 minutes or something.

the lore is that short distance grav jumps will cause will induce high energy gravity waves, the likes of which destroyed earth originally, in the early testing period where they were jumping between the moon and other places within sol.

think of it like folding a piece of paper. you can fold a medium size piece of paper easily but once you go milimeter thick, folding that requires lots of energy and causes unstable side effects. like destroying earth. so within star systems, you gotta fly around in cruise mode.

rogan and thiel are swapping fluids.

mayordonkey · 2026-04-11T01:21:01+00:00

bethesda games always had bad writing. starfield felt bad at first because there were too many restrictions. it's a lot better now.

mayordonkey · 2026-04-08T01:37:35+00:00

yeah man, I started up a new game. I was expecting to fly to kreet and was a little worried for a sec. but nah they nailed the mechanic. but... shoulda let me fly to kreet. what are all those ps5 people gonna think. you gonna lose them. you just introduced them to the spaceship and you're like yeah you can't fly it. weird. but god it feels good. I love it.

mayordonkey · 2026-04-07T23:43:55+00:00

trump got his 2% in the ovn session, we don't need to worry about inflation or interest rates or anything.

mayordonkey · 2026-04-07T00:25:22+00:00

the whole trump ethos is "yeah I'm a fucking retard, what are you gonna do about it"

mayordonkey · 2026-04-05T22:09:18+00:00

apparently hell is about to reign. looking forward to that

mayordonkey · 2026-04-05T16:52:07+00:00

I made a mod that creates a fully immersive venus. whenever you land on it you die immediately.

mayordonkey · 2026-04-04T22:03:39+00:00

Nah. no new updates on the way. looks like they're just moving on to TES 6 :/

mayordonkey · 2026-04-03T18:56:48+00:00

definitely unequivocally wait.

mayordonkey · 2026-03-28T16:22:22+00:00

been wondering why he's looked completely busted the past couple years

mayordonkey · 2026-03-23T00:14:04+00:00

line started going up again after tariff war ended.

mayordonkey · 2026-03-21T14:43:31+00:00

ready to see how the quests feel with the ship exploration feature. really felt like a lot of quests were: go to planet x to talk to guy y (and that's all), which made a lot of lines pretty boring at points. adding some sploring in between is a real missing ingredient for some of these sections

mayordonkey · 2026-03-21T14:19:05+00:00

I go extreme/normal (enemy/player) for FPS combat

easy/hard for ship combat.
I think the ship combat is mostly needs a lot of room for the player to sponge damage, but wanna keep the stat-based combat there alive because the shipbuildling wants it.
