'that sneaky [...] only got his job by being [...] and was put in charge by the cabal running western society' is classic denazification rhetoric

it's like theyre making a non profit for the money, except the without the making a non profit part

hiring modders, which is what folks have been telling bethesda to do since skyrim, is bad and lazy actually

using disorders as an insult is ableist

thank you for your service, cummunism

this was more a result of them biting off more than they can chew than an actual lack of skill

obsidian seemed like it had a hard time letting go of grand plans even when they proved to be unworkable

i mean it explicitly was the deal they made with bethesda, they both agreed to a deadline

the lack of focus on actual bug fixes and the overconfidence with how much content they could realistically finish in those 18 months was still absolutely on obsidian

They did not treat us badly at all - even the Metacritic thing was something they added, not threatened us with... and if we'd been better with fixing bugs, we could have hit the score needed to prevent layoffs, but nope - FNV when it was released had a LOT of bugs.

Unfortunately, the other interpretation made for a better story... but even Obsidian's CEO clarified it. That said, FNV needed to be downscoped, and production should have ended and testing begun at least 2 months earlier than it was.

Bethesda’s engine was the easiest to create content for, by far. Source control was easy, iterations were fast, the scripting language was pretty powerful – just easy to work in. Not necessarily easy to change, but if you wanted to do what we did on F:NV, which was make a bunch of new content and new features for the F3 engine, it was great.

scrapping their engine is a terrible idea, and folks need to stop repeating it

just shows that you dont know what engines are, do or how they evolve

valves new games are still running off code from gold source

'engine old' means extremely little and i wish people would stop parroting it

alternatively, address the shortcomings of the power grid

During the civil war, the north was still pretty fucking racist.

careful there, thats basically saying the south and north were just as bad

It’s not the fucking same.

you missed the word ‘more’

its right here in this sentence (ill make it bold and italicised for you, and put arrows around it which i will similarly bolden and italicise):

The republican party being -> more <- racist, transobobic, and capitalist doesn’t mean the democratic party isn’t.

the word ‘more’ in that sentence means they’re in fact not saying democrats and republicans are the same, theyre explicitly, literally and unambiguously saying democrats are not as bad

hope this helps

ignoring racism and transphobia or demanding others do so because its your team doing it is not protecting minorities, its actually just accepting racism and transphobia as the price of doing business, which is horrible

ignoring or defending exploitation of the poor because its your team doing it is not helping the poor, its actually just further ignoring, defending and normalising their exploitation

It’s like saying “someone with a billion dollars is more wealthy than someone with a million” - like yeah it’s semantically true but it completely disregards magnitude. Plenty of people make a million by working hard and paying taxes, but you only make a billion by fucking people over.

your comparison of 'democrats actively pushing discriminative and explotative policies' to 'poor millionaires who got their millions by just working very hard and who arent hurting no one' is hilariously tone deaf, thank you

im not sure what youre disagreeing with

And you’re painting them with the same brush?

'democrats are not as bad as republicans' is not painting them with the same brush

likewise, ignoring racism and transphobia or demanding others do so because its your team doing it is not protecting minorities, its actually just accepting racism and transphobia as the price of doing business, which is horrible

easy mistake to make, hope this helps

in theory, in practice strategic votes still matter for the actual government because parties can just decide not to work with someone and the biggest party gets first picks for the coalition

meaning that in practice, having the biggest party still matters massively, and in a mostly right wing country, the right gets to vote for who best represents them, while the left still has to vote strategically if they want to take actual administrative positions

the word 'more' in that sentence means they're in fact not saying dems are just as bad, or on the same level as actual fascists, theyre explicitly and literally saying democrats are not as bad

i think enforcing the local culture by telling women what they can and cannot wear is bad, actually

can you explain why you disagree with that stance

can you explain why other people wearing culturally traditional clothing is "religious propaganda and artificial separation"? do you feel this way about other traditional garb, or is it just the scary muslims?

if the state doesnt recognise any form of worship, why are they seemingly banning perceived symbols of worship? how does any of the law you quoted justify banning folks from even wearing perceived religious symbols?

unless this isnt a religious symbol anyway, in which case the above law is even less relevant and this is a blatant case of cultural discrimination
