Men killed outside Art Exhibition in Dallas
I think people should be free to offend whoever they want. Religious dogma in particular can be extremely damaging to human social development. Away with it I say. It's just that it's not only religion at stake here.Geert Wilders is a populist and a racist, and this event clearly had a little of that stink on it as well.

Steam now has Paywall mods
You pay the premium for the quality assurance that comes with a AAA release. You are paying for something that took a lot of man hourse to complete. The question is what will you pay for something with no quality assurance. I dunno, for my part id probably say the answer is nothing, not because they don't deserve it but because I'm not willing to pass that milestone. If I'm fiddling around with mods and I don't know that at least all it's going to cost me is my time, well, then I'd probably be doing something else.

Journalism and Bias in the Gaming Industry
I watched fox news and they were saying reasonable things. What the **** happened ? Is it manapause. Fox is a service for old people who like to have their preconceptions stroked by leggy blondes and silver haired pundits.

Playing Skyrim with 50-100 mods is pretty common. That experience would be right around 1000-1200 moneys with the envisaged workshop pricing. Just not feasible.

I'm a bit annoyed that they caved so quickly. I'm not entirely done being angry.

Build Thread 2.0
I have been looking at that one. Bad colour - in a very relative sense of course, but still, bad marks for colour reproduction and factory calibration, but that's to be expected. It's not an IPS panel. Been close to ordering it a few times too. People are actually saying that it's too big. Is that possible. I think what stopped me is the lack of tilt. Yes you do want tilt even if your screen is the size of a door.

Bottom line is the greed bothers me. 75%. That, and the profit motivation is going to stifle innovation and creativity not promote it. On the other hand if it means that they are going to release dev tools on any major titile in the hopes of being able to collect forever from the efforts of a potential modding comunity - Dev tools are a nice thing. In a perfect world they would just make the game and however many offical DLCs then open up the game for modding by hack or accident or intentionally and then GO AWAY FOREVER. Those days are probably gone though. https://steamcommunity.com/games/SteamWorkshop/announcements/detail/208632365253244218 Why is this 'Alden' felllow calling it 'our own game's community'. Is he from Bethesda ? Pretty sure not. Valve/STEAM doesn't have developer creds anymore, they are just a middleman. stop pretending you are one of the cool kids. You just work at the cash register.

The communal stealth thing is a terrible idea.

What you did today
Fire department have been trying to put out a fire in the next building over. For the last 4 hours... and it's still burning. Amateurs. It's offset by a fair distance to our complex so I should be alight, but boy it stinks to high heaven of molten plastic and I can't exactly open the windows.

umm.. The nexus doesn't cost ME anything. It's not even a nuissance with an ad blocker installed.

Not paying for mods either. End of story. If that makes me an angry old man, so be it.

The cool factor is gone now though. Now and forever ?. I noticed they are pushing Skyrim legendary edition for 5 pounds. It's clear to me that the long term purpose here is to turn the skyrim workshop into a puppy mill for mods and make up the difference that way. Time to move on to the next thing I suppose. I wonder what that is going to be.

What you did today
No, it's in whenever battery capacity and processing power increases enough for that thing to be feasible. It's a watch that can barely do what the cheapest smartphone can do and can only hold juice for a day. Watches are man jewelery. Unless you are Italian or something a classy mechanical watch is about all you can get away with. Good craftmanship is manly. That thing cant do anything well.

Fomenting Hatred
That sounds like a terrible idea for an ad campaign. I'm imagining the guy on the banner is a real muslim for some reason and that he's feeling rotten about doing this for a paycheck.

I remember a work coleague telling me about working on a Half Life zombie mod, I don't remember the name. Once the idea got started to turn it into a propper product contracts had to be signed and work allocated. It turned into **** almost instantly with legal threats and splitting into factions, most people leaving. Will Skyrim modders be able to band together and handle all that pressure. Not hopeful. Most likely it will just be the death of the comunity with everyone scrambling for the scraps thrown out by STEAM. Why couldn't they have done this to Call of Duty or some other crap I don't care about.

Free market in this case would mean that you had some other venue to sell your skyrim mods besides steam.
