Thank you! I hate how many people act like dark mode is The One True Way these days. No, I don't want to use feckin' dark mode, I'm sorry I don't have your 1337 h4x0r eyes. I have shoddy astigmatism eyes and find it very uncomfortable to use dark mode.

Is there a version of this that wasn't awkwardly resized?

Is it going to be the size of a small fridge like the base model?

I don't like that there's so few people questioning the core concept of "one platform for everyone".

Why does it have to appeal to everyone? Why can't its audience be a subset of humanity who like nerdy shit? It's what I liked about Reddit in the early years - it wasn't completely inaccessible but it was niche enough that there was a bit of a filter, allowing me to find content and people that appealed to me.

Aiming for lowest common denominator doesn't seem like a good idea to me.

The race to the bottom continues.

If we reword the question as "Is Elder Scrolls 6 doomed to be a mediocre experience?" then my money would be on "yes". Bethesda generally seem to aim to make games just as good as they need to be to make money. Capitalism over creative expression.

If the game is good enough to get people to buy it and consider buying the next one, that's all the effort it's worth putting in (as far as publishers are concerned). It's not a new approach, they've just had a lot more practice at it than game developers/publishers had in the '90s.

Temper your expectations as unless you're willing to buy a few million copies yourself, they can't justify the cost of caring what you think.

...and no, I do not approve of this system one jot. It's gross and antithetical to creativity. I'm glad we have a lot more independent developers who aren't as beholden to neoliberal capitalism these days.

Can the next step be deprecating Discord entirely? Trash.

I'd not heard of this game but it looks to be pretty good ( https://store.steampowered.com/app/1469610/Last_Train_Home/ ) and if Russia disapproves that's generally a good sign.

Oh yeah, they made a third one, didn't they?

Don't enable his embarrassing nonsense by calling Twitter "X".

I've got an Xbox One X and there's just not been anything on current gen platforms that excites me. Lots of live service games that are of zero interest to me, coupled with subscriptions that end up imposing FoMo.

I did once try to get started with Slackware when I was a teenager. It was on a cover CD for Linux Format about twenty years ago. I never managed to get it running and gave up on Linux for a while as a result.

I'm a little perplexed as to what it exists for, to be honest.
