Neither is Starfield.

135 to 140 hours approximately. I didn't put a lot of effort into outposts, so it could've been more.

How does a loading screen "prolong" playtime when the alternative is going or flying everywhere in real time?

Game is short. People complain. Game is long. People complain. Game makes you stare at five hour space travel. People complain. Game gives you fast travel. People complain. Game takes you by the hand. People complain. Game forces exploration. People complain.

I'm tired.

Some side quests in Starfield are longer than the main quests of other games.

For example, it took me the same amount of time to play through SF once as it took to play through The Witcher twice, including the DLCs.

"Little to no content" is an outright lie.

Also not true. Complexity alone doesn't make a good game / movie / book / piece of art. And lack thereof doesn't make anything worse.

Why is it that when many people like a thing because that thing appeals to masses, it's automatically categorised as lower quality?

Nobody seriously claimed Starfield to be the game of all games. It's good. It's fine. It's not perfect. So what?

That's not the definition of mediocrity. Trying to appeal to a bigger audience doesn't make a game mediocre in the same way not every niche game has the potential of being a masterpiece just by not being that much likeable.

Some games are popular and good.

If Bethesda games are so mediocre, why are they so popular among players who love to put hundreds of hours into them? I can't imagine them all playing total conversion mods.

It's become such a custom to poop on Bethesda for making "shallow", "uninteresting" games that still everybody talks about. As if there weren't enough real flaws in their games to give them heat for.

No I don't. I had 100 hours in The Witcher including all three expansions and I think that's not what could be called "rushed".

In Starfield I'm currently at 90 hours and just built my first outpost and a decent ship. I don't know where I'm in the main quest but I've aquired only three powers and artifacts so far.

Starfield is a bad game because people want it to be a bad game. I read a negative Steam review that complained about the estimated 150 hours of the story were too short. One hundred and fifty hours. In the same amount of time you probably can complete Cyberpunk and The Witcher back to back.

Of course Starfield is far from being a perfect game. But some players' expectations can't be distinguished from entitlement anymore. To quote a movie title, they want "everything, everywhere, all at once". And yes, then Starfield must be bad.

I on the other hand really do enjoy it.

Thank you for explaining. That's a thing most sites leave out: tell people how the keys cannot be stolen while still working on a different device.

Well at least that one came with an explicit warning: Part One.

The latest Jurassic World film comes to my mind.

The script felt like they had a 1993 video game that had to be turned into a movie. There's not a single authentic character or memorable scene in it. All the actors are terrible, even Sam Neill. The score is as forgettable as the special effects. What else did I forget?

"Candle in the eye!"

Great film, honestly

The advantage - from my very incomplete understanding - is that your passkeys cannot be phished or stolen from you. So only you from your device can log-in to the site. Which leaves me with the question, how cross-device passkeys work.

Just disguise your revolution as "performance". No one will notice in time.

Why are more visitors than artists going to the galleries?

Only if you define vegan as to strictly avoid any animal product (and define humans as animals). A somewhat looser Definition says to avoid animal exploitation.

So a product made by a non-domesticised animal in a natural way - e.g. Penguin guano - could be seen as vegan. The animal produces it anyway and the product isn't won through keeping the animal captive and / or "stealing" from it.

After all I wouldn't be too strict with definitions here.

Yeah, I didn't include my Enpass extension, as it's more like a plug-in.

I also excluded TamperMonkey because I solely use it to sell my Steam cards and become filthy rich. Already 34 cents into my first million.

And last but not least: an extension that auto-upvotes YT videos from my subscribed channels because I'm too lazy to do it manually and YT can't be bothered to assign a key to it.

So why keep this useless, failed platform in the news? Stop giving Musk publicity of any kind.

ublock origin with the annoyance list activated.

dark reader. It’s not perfect but I get most sites in a usable dark mode.

That’s mostly it.
