    They've been doing remakes recently, with quite a bit of success, of the mainline Resi games, Revelations is not mainline, it's a spinoff. It's not impossible that they would remake it, but I wouldn't hold my breath since they inexplicably skipped over Code Veronica when Code Veronica is far and away the game most screaming for a remake. And even if they made a remake of Revelations, that would have nothing to do with the current version, it would be a completely separate game, just like all the other remakes.

    Fair point, but what money is left to be made off Resi: Revelations? Is Capcom planning to release a skimpy (skimpier) outfit DLC for this game 11 years after release? Sure, the 160 people still playing are the most hardcore fans and chances are most, if not all, of them will buy the DLC. So let's say the DLC is $10... No, let's get REALLY greedy, make the DLC $25, these are the most hardcore fans of the game, they'll buy it anyway. Capcom can make $4000 in a best case scenario. Whooptie doo!

    I've been operating under the assumption that Mad Max is a biopic. It is, right?

    Sure, you don't want porn mods popping up in a live streaming tournament that 8 year old little Billy might be watching and OH NO little Billy saw boobies now he's scarred for life or whatever. Won't someone think of the children!? /clutches at pearls I'm going to go out on a limb and say that there were no live streaming Resi: Revelations tournaments in 2023 and there won't be any going forward. Furthermore, the 160ish people still actively playing this 11 year old game are almost certainly the most dedicated and hardcore of hardcore fans of this game and they almost certainly all know each other by now. They can hash this out by themselves thusly: ChrisPunchBoulder762 - "Hey xXxA$$MASTURxXx, you mind not running that nude Rachel mod for this session? I find it distracting to see her running around with her milkers out." xXxA$$MASTURxXx - "Yeah, my bad. Hang on, I'll disable the mod and log back in, give me 30 seconds." Problem solved. Side-note: Rachel already has her milkers out in the vanilla game so when Capcom is accusing people of inappropriate character models they should first look in the mirror. Seriously, this is her in the game sans mods:

    From a realism standpoint it makes perfect sense that people on one planet would have standardized to different ammo types than people on a different planet 50 light years away. From a gameplay standpoint, it adds nothing but frustration to the game and clutters your inventory. Is it fun when you rummage through a room and find 12 different types of ammo and none of them are what you use? That's not a hypothetical, either. That's something that happens in this game fairly frequently. When realism and fun gameplay experience butt heads, fun gameplay experience should win every time. I'll apply that same argument to the lame planets in this game. From a realism standpoint, 99% of rocky planets and moons would be dull, lifeless rocks. That doesn't make for a fun gameplay experience, though. Fun gameplay experience should have been prioritized over realism. That's a mistake Todd made multiple times, he prioritized realism over fun gameplay experience. What makes it more baffling is that he prioritized realism over fun gameplay in a game where you play a ****ING SPACE WIZARD. If you're going to go for realism then go full-on hard sci-fi. I don't believe Bethesda has the writing chops to do hard sci-fi well, but they went for it anyway, but only went 80% hard sci-fi, but also SPACE WIZARDS. And before someone comes in here and WELL ACKSHUALLYS me and tells me about some wonderful book that's hard sci-fi but with space wizards, it's very likely possible to do hard sci-fi but with space wizards, but it requires high-level writing prowess to do well. Let's be honest here, Bethesda does not posses said high-level writing prowess.

    @Hawke64What a bizarre thing to do. I mean, Resi: Revelations does have a multiplayer mode, and it's quite fun in fact, but I can't imagine it has a thriving community 11 years after initial release, so why bother with anti-cheat software? The only explanation that I can come up with is that Capcom was using it to test the software out because they are considering using it in an upcoming game. Edit: I just looked it up, it currently has 155 players on Steam with a 24 hour peak of 163. That's impressive for an 11 year old game, but hardly worth installing anti-cheat software for. I'm going to guess that those roughly 160 people still playing this game all know each other at this point, so if there's cheating going on the cheaters can get called out by name and shunned by the community.

    Here's the list of ammo types in Starfield: Why the **** would you do this? What is wrong with you, Todd? How is this beneficial to gameplay? (side-note: "How is this beneficial to gameplay?" is the question that should be asked whenever anything gets added to a game.) Here's the complete, unabridged list of ammo that should have been in the game: Handgun bullet Rifle bullet Shotgun Shell Energy cartridge RPG Grenade

    What does ranch have to do with chicken wings? #TeamBlueCheese I jest... Sort of. Ranch is an acceptable alternative when blue cheese is not available.

    tl;dr: You can build awesome ships in Starfield but you will be fighting the interface every step of the way. I'll say this, as awful as the interface and controls for the ship builder are, and they are GODAWFUL, the functionality is there to build whatever your heart desires... Within reasonable constraints. It will take longer than it should, because, again, the controls are horrific, but, given patience, you can build cool as **** ships. I don't expect Bethesda to do this, because we're talking about Bethesda, but hopefully modders can improve the interface and also add functionality that makes it clear where the hatch points for ladders will appear. If I knew where ladder hatches would appear I would plan out my ship to have one ladder to go between all decks and to the docking hatch rather than having them scattered seemingly randomly about the ship. I'm, sure... Well, somewhat sure, it's not actually random, we are talking about Bethesda, I wouldn't put it past them to not actually know themselves where the ladders will appear, but presumably THEY know where the ladders will appear. It sure would be useful for me to know where the ladders will appear when building the ship. Side-note: Why the **** does this game have 800 billion different types of ammunition? From a realism standpoint, it makes sense that peoples scattered all over the galaxy would have different ammo types. From the MUCH MORE IMPORTANT gameplay standpoint, it's horrendous and whoever made that design decision should be fired immediately. I'M ****ING LOOKING AT YOU TODD. STEP THE **** DOWN, YOU ARE ARE LIABILITY AT THIS POINT YOU ****ING HAS BEEN!

    You sound EXTREMELY qualified to post a review on Metacritic, have you done so already?

    Todd taunting me:

    Not yet, I need you to exercise tantric commenting. Potatoes quest update: I'm up to 41!

    @majesticHonestly, I'm curious to try that pizza, in my head that sounds good. Then again, I'm one of the few people that is apathetic toward pineapple on pizza. If you put a slice of Hawaiian in front of me, I'll eat without complaint. I'd never buy it for myself, though, because I could just get a Margherita instead. The most disliked thing on pizza I regularly see is barbecue sauce. Pizza with chicken and barbecue sauce is fairly common where I live. The chicken portion of that is fine, great even, but BBQ sauce on pizza just tastes wrong to me. I see it on menus everywhere, though, so it must be at least somewhat popular. I don't find it an affront to God or anything, I just don't like it and won't eat it.

    There's more than that. There's also Quickshop in Neon's Underbelly and there's a store in the Eleos Retreat where I got 3 (THREE!) potatoes. #BLESSED I'm in Neon quite a bit, it's probably my favorite location because it's the most cyberpunk looking. It has that contrast of corporate greed and excess and people living in absolute squalor. Unfortunately, the Underbelly is a bit out of the way, I wish the shop that sold potatoes was on the main strip. Side-note: What is the point of outposts? I mean, you can use them to generate income, but at the point that you will likely be building outposts, you'll already be swimming in money, soooooooo...

    The most frustrating part is that sometimes I'll come across a big ol' box, a case, labeled "potatoes". 1 or 2 of those boxes would presumably complete the quest. But you can't interact with those boxes (they have boxes of other fruits & veggies too, such as onions), they're not a container, you can't click on them, there's not even any physics interaction for running into them. For all intents and purposes they're decals. Todd put them there specifically to taunt me. I have to just set aside my compulsion to complete as many quests as possible in a single playthrough and finish the game. I can do other quests in NG+, if I ever come back for NG+. It's not even a completionism thing, I just like to overlevel for the final boss in games. I'm pretty sure I'm already well past that point. However, I'm determined to finish this stupid potatoes quest, I'm in too deep. I'm up to 21 potatoes. I'm not going to just sit there at Jane's Goods waiting for the stock to replenish again and again, so I'm trying to get potatoes while I do other stuff. I wish I had picked up this quest much earlier.

    I'm going with Bobcat Goldthwait.

    @LadyCrimsonIn theory, Starfield meets the requirements of that "rule", there's always something you can mine or gather, but firing a mining laser at a node isn't exactly fun, nor exciting, nor engaging. Also, there's a limit to how much copper I need, not to mention how much I can carry. Back to the potatoes, the best place I've found is Jane's Goods in Cydonia, because there are stools right there at the counter. What you can do is buy all the potatoes she has available, all 1 of them, 2 if you're lucky. Then you have to wait a bunch of hours for the stock to replenish. However, you can't just wait anywhere, you have to either sit on a chair or stool or couch or lie down on a bed. Why? Todd Howard - "Because **** you, that's why." It gets better. Waiting isn't instantaneous. You... ... Have... ... To... ... Wait... ... For... ... Each... ... Hour... ... To... ... Tick... ... By. This takes PAINFULLY long, if I haven't made that clear already. Why? Todd Howard - "Because **** you, that's why." Then you can buy another 1 potato, 2 if you're really lucky. Then you can spend another PAINFULLY long period of time waiting again. Why? Todd Howard - "Because **** you, that's why." Everything in this game is waaaay more tedious and takes waaaay longer than it needs to. Why? Todd Howard - "Because **** you, that's why." Pick up a mundane fetch quest? I hope you like looking at loading screens because you will see 9 of them to complete it. Why? Todd Howard - "Because **** you, that's why."

    I'm doing a mission where I'm helping a lady get off a colony ship. In order to complete it, I need 50 potatoes. I mean, I could have persuaded the captain because I play a silver-tongued character, but I decided to get the potatoes for them because I want to help them out. I may be a pirate, but I'm a pirate with a heart of gold. Well, no good deed goes unpunished. There are less than a handful of places I've found so far that I can purchase potatoes and I can't grow them. None of the places that sell potatoes ever have 50, or even 10, I'm lucky if there's more than 1. This ****ing game. Everything is like squeezing blood from a ****ing stone.

    Yeah, Naughty Dog's cinematic presentation is still top notch, but their gameplay is firmly stuck in the mid 2000s. They keep making PS3 games, except now with PS5 graphics.

    They're infamous for approaching every single streamer and YouTuber, or influencer of any kind, with sponsorship deals and flooding the internet with ads, hence why I jokingly made my post like I was shilling for them. They're effectively the newer version of those banner ads you used to see on every single website ever that had a sexy lady with her milkers (when autocensor won't let me post a word I will use the most comical euphemism I know instead) out and text that read "Come Play My Lord".

    The current Polish national anthem is Jeszcze Polska Nie Zginęła, which translates to Poland Has Not Yet Perished or Poland Is Not Yet Lost. Similar to English, in Polish the word for lost can mean "I lost my car keys, where are they?" or it can mean "we lost grandpa, the funeral is next week". Originally the lyric was Jeszcze Polska Nie Umarła or Poland Has Not Yet Died and the song was known as Pieśń Legionów Polskich we Włoszech or Song of the Polish Legions in Italy, this was long before it was the anthem and it had some different lyrics. If the title doesn't give it away, it's a song about perseverance, about surviving as a people. It basically says that no matter what we'll still be Poles and we will rebuild Poland, you can't snuff us out. Interestingly, there used to be another refrain that mentioned Germans and Russians, but it's gone from the modern version. The Swedes still get a mention, as occupiers, and Bonaparte gets mentioned by name since this was a song originally sung by Polish legions under Napoleon serving in Italy, hence the original title.

    All this talk of steak got me wanting to cook up some ribeyes tomorrow. With that in mind, I made chimichurri today: As with many sauces, it's better after it has sat in the fridge overnight, so I always make it at least a day ahead. If I can muster up the willpower to not cook the steaks tomorrow, it will get even better with an extra day of sitting. It's very herby... Herbaceous? I don't know what the right word is. Anyway, it's in some ways similar to a pesto, and like a pesto, you can freeze it and store it for long periods of time. It's a moot point in my house because I'll go through it quickly, I can guarantee that. My friend Thiago from Brazil introduced me to chimichurri and it changed my life. Everything else on steak is a significant step down. I'll put it on other meats too. My chimichurri is not as good as his, but he won't tell anyone the recipe, family secret. My chimichurri is still delicious, though.

    How sad is it that pretty much the entire 6000 year... The starting point of human civilization is very much in question ever since the discovery of Göbekli Tepe, but that's a topic for a different discussion, I'll just stick with Ancient Sumer as the starting point for the purposes of this conversation. Pretty much the entire 6000 years of human civilization is people taking other peoples' lands for themselves. Sometimes they're "kind" enough to let the previous inhabitants stay, so long as they swear fealty, sometimes the previous population gets the boot, and sometimes they get the axe. At some point it would have been nice to advance beyond that, and there's, of course, lip service to that effect. The reality is nope. Humans ****ing suck.

    I stand corrected. Still, I will maintain that invading Sweden would be a terrible idea and Putin is not that stupid. I don't believe Russia has any sort of historical claim to any lands in Sweden that they could use to "justify" an invasion. Those kinds of claims are flimsy at best, anyway, given that for most places in the world one can point to there have been a dozen different ethnic groups that called that land home at one point. Even with a historical claim, Russia wouldn't attack Sweden in the foreseeable future.
  25. Keyrock
    As a Pole, I can tell you Sweden whooped up on my motherland several times too. Looooooong before my lifetime, though, so I harbour no ill feelings. In fact, I harbour no ill feeling for the common folk of any country, Russia included. The ruling elite, on the other hand, that's a different story. Granted, I'm not exactly a fan of the ruling elite in Murica either (on the off chance I haven't previously made that perfectly clear), so there's that.
