All the new ideas in Starfield fall into one of two categories:

• The technology doesn't exist to implement it.
• The talent at Bethesda is incredibly ill-suited to implement it.

The Bethesda response to fans saying their main storyline was trash was to make a game where the main storyline is the primary focus and draw of the game? That's a bold move.

The NG+ stuff is a cool idea, but again, Bethesda just fundamentally lacks the talent to implement it. You can't hit what they were aiming for with a handful of gimmicks. I wouldn't even trust the team behind New Vegas, or whoever writes at Larian, to do it justice.

It feels like Skyrim was the game they'd (and by they I mean Todd) always wanted to make, and Skyrim was the first time they had the resources and technology available to make it more or less exactly as they envisaged.

Fallout 4 probably would've been in the exact same situation of the technology finally catching up to their ideas, except they completely botched the landing by adding in voiced characters.

• Fallout 3 releases and it's good
• Fallout New Vegas releases and it's great
• Fallout 4 releases and it's disappointing but it's okay because it's just a blip. They had some good new ideas in there, they were just balanced out in the other direction by a lot of bad ones. Bethesda's track record is still solid, if somewhat tarnished.
• Fallout 76 releases and it's disappointing but that's because they've never made (and shouldn't have made) an MMO before. A lot of the coverage is centred around the shoddy launch, which doesn't really matter for a non-MMO title.

From my own sources: Taylor is indeed done, and not just on Twitch.

it's a level 2 meme

meme 1

• taylor swift use jet lots
• taylor swift campaign for environment lots
• taylor swift try sue "taylor swift jet tracker" twitter person
• funny to make fun of hypocritical person
• = meme series implying taylor swift uses her private jet in funny scenarios like to cross the road or to go to her private yet

meme 2

less of a meme, more a video that surfaced of a police officer trying to execute a handcuffed man because an acorn fell on the roof of his car and he thought it was a gunshot and later had to resign

meme 1 + 2

taylor swift in private jet drop acorn out of window, land on police car roof, scare police, lead to bodycam video

My abiliry to read?

women are socialised to read more, so unironically yes

it's kind of telling that in the two examples you gave one of them actually was gender-linked

the concept of gender is very interwoven in society. changing it is not easy.

so if trans people have no power within society, how can they perpetuate gender norms within it?

Because the meaningful difference is socially created.

and how much bargaining power do you think that the trans community collectively has in society?

and before you answer, i don't mean "on twitter". e.g., dave chappelle has been cancelled on twitter, but still gets his own netflix specials and is seemingly friends with the richest person on the planet. jk rowling is still a billionaire that lives in a literal castle.

why do i fall for "i just have a few questions" every time ;(

ideally no, in practice yes

if assumed gender isn't meaningful, why are you a self-described feminist? if there's already no meaningful difference between genders, surely your work is done and you can go home?

saying people shouldn't be put into boxes is one thing

saying people shouldn't put themselves into boxes is another

like it or not, the gender boxes are going to keep existing for our lifetimes, and railing against them isn't a task to be undertaken lightly given how thoroughly delighted terfs are to weaponise any such instance against the trans community

if you take comfort in boxing themselves up, you do you

deleting the concept of gender would be nice but isn't practical as solution any time soon

see the 2 minute section from 10:22

Right, but if we're going down that route, how do you enact any form of consequence when I decide to go about crime-ing people? Anything you try to force on me I can refuse with "nobody is perfect enough to reasonably judge other people".

if that's the argument you're using against prisons, can't i, a dastardly doer of crimes, simply reject any form of consequence for my actions, since you're still going about contributing to global warming through your addiction to being alive and existing in society?

anything can be a prison for you if you make it one yourself

you need to think more positively

you can e2e encrypt emails though?

Please provide your evidence of “many people”

even if only one person proved utterly disinterested in rehabilitating themselves, you'd still need some kind of escape hatch built into the system to handle them

getting bogged down in specific frequencies is kind of missing the point

its a long article and i cant read

what do you do about cases where the victim doesnt want to engage in a dialogue with the offender?
