As far as I've seen, CBBE, Fusion Girl and Bodytalk authors all talked on this subject.

Previously in Skyrim and FO4, you could pretty much just drop in either the body or a body and a skeleton and you could replace every single body in the game with something better. That is not the case this time around.

So we're probably going to need a separate mod developer (someone focused on code rather than modeling and rigging) to implement an infrastructure to facilitate doing what the older engines could do by default.

Previously, Bodyslide/outfit studio and Looksmenu simple extended what you could do with these skeletons and bodies, they weren't actually required to use those.

Now we'll likely need those types of systems plus even more, simply to get basic body replacements to work.

Having played the game, I also have a feeling they dumbed down the animation engine and made it worse than it already was, which may cause issues for the sex frameworks to port animations from the older games over.

Based on.

The main quest is utterly irrelevant and a detriment to the rest of the game.

The whole game would've been better without that main quest even existing.

And knowing what happens has no relevance to the game you play, especially since it makes the rest of the game completely irrelevant if you dare finish the main quest.

That's the point. It's meaningless to the point of it making the game worse by even existing.

And that's without the issues I mentioned originally, where while it's just utter shit, it's also really badly integrated.

It's really damn simple. It's because they don't care.

The hypocrisy is the point.

Everything they do is "do as I say, not as I do".

It's about control and power. Not about values.

They have no actual values.

It's clear that much of the work on this game was done by like 30 different companies.

Every single thing about it feels disjointed, disconnected, half assed and schizophrenic.

And then when you go into NG+, it makes all that feel like childs play and gets really stupid.

It links into conversations in some places, but not in others where it would make actualy sense.

You can opt to not tell Constelation you're Starborn and then instantly take them into space on your alien spaceship without a single question asked by any of them.

They'll comment on your powers, long before you're at the part of the main quest where you normally get them.

All the dialogue and relationships are even blander than the actual main story, which seems to have been written by some Tumblr jackass that was so shit they even got rejected by The Witcher tv-show writing staff.

If Bethesda had just said "hey, we created this space framework and now it's up to modders to make an actual game out of this", I could've respected that.

It would've been more honest than delivering this disjointed mess of a game.

Another big annoyance I've had with Starfield is that they broke one of the sacred rules of Bethesda games with it.

In the past, if you stumbled upon something while exploring, killed or solved it, then went to someone who had a quest related to what you did, they would acknowledge you already did what they wanted you to do and you could move on.

In Starfield, they hide, lock and don't even spawn quite a lot of things, so you can only find them, if you're sent to them by a quest giver.

This game that is all about freedom and exploration has almost all relevant content that isn't flavor locked away behind being told to go somewhere, rather than exploring the star systems and finding them.

The problem of people like Murdoch have been around since time memorial. Patently bad people have always and likely will always exist.

It's only how much influence they are able to have that ebbs and flows over time.

And we're back in a period where these people have a whole lot of power.

Or appointed an AG that was 10000000000000000% politically motivated.

If it was a hack to begin with. Could just be some publicity stunt or him being drunk and coked out of his mind.

These people love fabricating outrage.

The problem is that there is no real discussion about what to do with AI.

It's being allowed to be developed without much of any restrictions and that's what's dangerous about it.

Like how some places are starting to use AI to profile the public Minority Report style.

I thought you were going to link to the Goddamn Podcast XD.

Also, if I want to move somewhere, I look for work there, move there, period.

Only thing keeping Russians from moving to Kyiv is their own government.

If they are upstanding people that can function in a civil society, Ukraine isn't going to turn them away.

But no, Russians are this weird sort that hate their home, go enjoy being free somewhere else, then aid their home country in turning the place they actually enjoy, into another shithole.

It's so fucking bizarre.

Conservatives boycotting means they'll buy something they wouldn't buy otherwise and then bitch about it.

It's bizarre.

Like with the Budd thing a while back, sure, they do in fact normally do buy some Budd, but when they got their panties in a bunch over the LGBTQ stance Budd took, they bought truckloads of it, to then destroy it. They still bought a shitload more Budd than they normally would.

It's bizarre.

But in line with the rest of their behavior, since everything they do and say these days is completely unhinged.

That's exactly why the general public will pick it over anything else.

I'm afraid not, the general people will and already do use Threads.

I've been in IT all my life, starting in the mid 80's. Got an extensive home lab and host pretty much everything you tend to use as SAAS these days at home too. Home mail, cloud, web based office suite, etc.

But for the "what if your ISP goes down", well, then I switch to my neighbors ISP XD.

There's dozens of ISPs of various sizes where I live and there's neighbors representing 8 of these ISPs. I have access to all their networks (most of them gave access).

So if my ISP goes down, I switch to another one.

That said, I haven't had an outage longer than 30 minutes in 5 years and the average time between shorter outages (quick resets to minutes long) happen 1ce a year or so.

There are some announced outages, usually once per quarter, for network upgrades and system maintenance. But generally, my ISP has a 99,99% uptime.

It's their universal shtick.

Like, complain about the economy, then when they are in power, ruin the economy.

I was looking at the Steam forums for Starfield earlier after googling some quest I was on.

Dear lord are they out in force.

And the twists and turns they are making to explain why they think the pronouns should be removed from the game without saying it's because they are easily triggered right wing fucklets is almost impressive.

And as expected, quite a few phrased as "as a libtard, even I think this should be removed for xyz retarded reason".

And as we all know, any post that starts with "as a POC/WAMAN/RATIONAL PERSON" means some MAGAt jackass trying to be clever.

Fentanyl ODs adults at 2mg doses.

There's several states with populations that could be entirely wiped out by this kilo.

Don't generalize whatever distro you're running as "Linux", especially when we're talking package management.
