I could see some kind of arrangement where the age would be something reasonable like 16-18, but then there is a test you can write (basic civics questions eg. who are the candidates, what does the legislative branch do, etc.) and if you pass that test, kind of like a learner’s permit for driving, you can vote even if you’re under that age, down to a hard cutoff of like 13.

That, the monospace font, and the heart button which seems to be identical to the upvote button, are all changes I am not a fan of. Otherwise it’s not bad.

This is not a subject of discussion. It’s just OP saying “help me do my job pls”
bionicjoey@lemmy.cato Games@lemmy.world•Are we ever going to see a remake of any Bethesda game?English7·11 months agoWhenever people criticise Bethesda games for their engine, I pretty much assume right away they know nothing about game development. Bethesda’s engine is something they have a lot of control over and can constantly improve and iterate on. It’s not as though Starfield and Morrowind are running on the exact same codebase.
Starfield is bad because of bad game design, not bad game development. Skyrim was buggy on release as well, and yet people loved it because the design of the game was good enough that people were willing to forgive the programming flaws. People overvalue the engine in discussions about Bethesda games and it’s become this meme among people to seem like they sound like they know what they’re talking about, but ultimately the flaws in Bethesda games that determine their success has very little to do with what engine they use.
Also, the Skyblivion team is constantly releasing dev diaries showing the progress, and the mod is nearly finished. It looks very well done, and the whole thing is out in the open. There’s no reason to be cynical about whether it will ever release when you can literally go look at the progress with your own eyes.

Not sure what you hope would be added in a “remake” though. You’re asking for something which would inherently do very little and be exactly the sort of cash grab that we normally condemn. You want these games with better graphics or mechanics? Play with mods.

Thank you to all the freegunners who have joined us in the Concord galaxy"English62·11 months agoSo funny when a corpo is forced to seem positive about something where there is absolutely no positive way of spinning it. It has this surreal energy where the person doing PR seems almost uncanny, like some kind of lizard person.
Fun fact: you get more accurate info by simply running

It’s entirely possible to use, enjoy, and benefit from Linux while also using proprietary software. Your attitude only hurts the reputation and adoption of Linux by perpetuating the notion that you’re either all-in or else you’re out. Your idea of “Linux the lifestyle” is a fantasy.
Funny, that game is by the same creator as the game OP mentioned.
If you like Obra Dinn, you’ll love Outer Wilds
bionicjoey@lemmy.cato Games@lemmy.world•Is Elder Scrolls 6 doomed to fail? I can't see how it will workEnglish112·11 months agoHonestly I think that if ES6 is to Skyrim what FO4 is to FO3, it will probably be good.
The danger is if they try to replicate Starfield or FO76, ie. cut corners like crazy, be blinded by dollar signs in their eyes.
In other words, RTFM

Instead, I had to wait until the Steam release when the game already had loads of negative press. Exclusive deals are idiotic

Silicon Valley (the HBO show) was joking about this a decade ago. “Making the world a better place through highly scalable caching and consensus algorithms”, “I don’t want to live in a world where someone else makes the world a better place better than we do”, etc.

Lol, someone loves the taste of boots
