It's always crazy to see a mod like this where it's basically a whole new game with the production quality to match. Even this release announcement is pretty impressive for a mod.

That being said, this makes me think: If we can get Fallout London, what about Fallout London, Ontario?

I'm surprised Snapchat is that popular. It's not something I hear about too much anymore.

Linked in is simultaneously the most useful and useless social media platform.

On one hand, you can use it to get jobs, and keep a line of contact with former/present colleagues in a professional setting (as opposed to Facebook or remembering to write down their personal email address).

On the other hand, you have the feed, which is full of the most stupid, banal, and preformative shit you'll ever see on social media, because it's all in the name of advancing your career in this superficial society of ours.

I hate it, but it has its uses.

I like the bottom-right the most, but I feel like top-right and bottom-left are what I would most associate with being a default desktop wallpaper.

Sounds like in Bethesda's case it's a vain corporate attempt to manage the games reputation. Having a mixed rating definitely hurts their sales; it gives you pause before deciding to spend $90 on a game. You'd hope that the next step for them would be to retrospect on why people are finding the game meh, but that rarely seems to happen.

"Am I out of touch? No, it's the players who should enjoy landing on an empty planet."

If steam were owned by anyone other than Valve (not to say they're perfect), I'd be expecting reviews to soon go the same way that dislikes did on YouTube for similar nonsensical reasons.

I wouldn't say it has. I don't buy too much these days anyways as I already have a backlog, and there's so much out there that I tend to buy things on sale that have been out for a while.

I'm willing to buy a higher-priced game or DLC on release, but it better be damned good. I'll wait a bit before buying to at least ensure that it's playable on day one.

I agree with the premise; fandom sucks. But does it really require a 20 minute exposรฉ though?

I've seen a few links to the Indie Wiki Buddy extension page. I'm not too interested in installing a browser extension to find new wikis, but I bookmarked their listing page: https://getindie.wiki/listings/
