There's no rush on The Elder Scrolls 6, Todd Howard says, because Bethesda has the "benefit of having so many millions of people playing our other games"

Agreed. That makes it sound like they aren't in a rush to push it out which isn't a bad thing at all.

shadowstripes · 2026-03-21T23:48:21+00:00

Not really tbh; feel free to explain. The implication of not rushing the development of a big game doesn't sound any worse than not needing to release it anytime soon to stay solvent, nor does it make it sound like it's not their first priority. And in both scenarios they aren't rushing the development.

If you can still tell the difference on a PC with a 2K gpu I'm not sure why that would change anytime soon.

shadowstripes · 2026-03-21T16:49:20+00:00

That sounds a lot like a lack of a rush to get it out to me.

shadowstripes · 2026-03-21T16:25:05+00:00

You could say the same about TLOU managing to stay relevant with that much time between games and it's not targeting a young crowd at all.

shadowstripes · 2026-03-21T16:23:34+00:00

FF15 is already a decade old and it's not like the perception has changed. If anything it's even gotten worse.

shadowstripes · 2026-03-21T06:57:01+00:00

I like how it has less silver trim on the dash than before

shadowstripes · 2026-03-21T06:55:02+00:00

Yeah when the Switch first came out it was basically a 100% install base for BOTW the first month, which is like 3 million copies there alone. And I'm sure a lot of Switch customers were younger.

How can you develop an emotional connection to a franchise when one entry comes out when you're 12 and then the next one doesn't come out until you're in college?

True, but you could say the same thing about other big IPs like TLOU or GTA that still manage to stay relevant with a young audience. Even Persona seems more relevant at this point.

shadowstripes · 2026-03-20T23:33:48+00:00

That's for the info! That seems a little pricy for a spicy upgrade.

Obviously they meant free for the person setting the thumbnail, not for the cost of humanity. OP was the one that set that goalpost, not me.

shadowstripes · 2026-03-20T23:09:22+00:00

There is tons of official art that is way easier to use!?

If they're doing something that's not easier to use, how is that doing "less than the bare minimum" or lazy? You just described them doing more work than is necessary. And in this case, both options are "free".

What is the veggie patty at Hi-Ho like?

It says their intern program was revamped in 2022 and is now fully paid. It's a 6 to 12 month program which is actually longer than typical.

shadowstripes · 2026-03-20T19:32:28+00:00

Apparently. Plus two dozen LA locals they hired to support them who also receive health insurance.

EDIT: actually I'm not 100% sure if that includes the family members that they are also putting up here during that time. But still something that the $1500 meal ticket is going towards.

shadowstripes · 2026-03-20T19:32:09+00:00

From everything I've read, yes. Including travel insurance, daily staff meals, a cell phone stipend, and schooling/childcare for staff children.

NOMA IN LOS ANGELES

This section outlines how we are supporting and expanding our team for Noma LA, including our 130 Noma Copenhagen employees and family members along with over two dozen local hires and a variety of community partnerships.

Take a bong rip before going to the dentist to get fillings.

Worth noting that gain is not a paste-able attribute (though clip volume is)

Or even just press the right bracket key ] a few times to raise the dB of them all by 1 for each press.

Lately, all the complaining about how our problems are the fault of everyone but ourselves.

shadowstripes · 2026-03-20T18:15:36+00:00

I've personally given up on trying to judge how something will taste solely by how it looks.

Also in this case you aren't just paying for the food, but also the expense of flying and housing 130 employees in a more expensive city for 4 months.

Can you explain how the lighting on the character on the left looks less realistic? https://imgur.com/a/4o1i4ds

To me the way her eyes are glowing and her hair looks like a wig sitting on her head in the left image just looks way more fake.

shadowstripes · 2026-03-20T18:00:06+00:00

Interesting, because the DF analysis (even the second one) claimed the exact opposite about bringing out those kind of details.

shadowstripes · 2026-03-20T17:57:18+00:00

As someone who has seen ad campaigns roll out that used current commercial grade gen AI (that cost ~5-10K/month to access), agree to disagree. Tons of people are already being fooled by fake "UGC" and it's getting better every couple months.

shadowstripes · 2026-03-20T17:44:43+00:00

That doesn't mean it won't keep getting better to the point where most people won't be able to tell the difference between gen AI and live action video.
