can't wait to watch their heads explode when they get to this loading screen

edit: Oblivion loading screen: If playing on PC, you can change your character’s gender mid-playthrough. No one is stopping you. Cast fireball on citizens or creatures who take issue with your decision.

also, do it in real life too :D

i did a playthrough of vanilla oblivion about 2 months ago (strange coincidence).

been watching streams of people paying/playing this new $50 remaster and i'm just.... why? OG is eons better still - caveat being you need just a few QOL mods. and it's not a, what, 120gb bloat with, imo, worse graphics (though admittedly i'm a sucker for janky oldschool 2005 graphics).

agree with what you wrote, but don't confuse the economy with the stock market. the economy has been FUCKED for awhile now. never recovered from covid / profit-maximizing inflation tbh

https://www.lisep.org/ does a lot of really good work showing how false official UE, CPI, earnings are.

i like/liked the minigame, but yes absolutely it should not be the MAIN thing for dialogue/speech checks.

they should've used it for crafting gear, spells, gambling, idk just some other game system

can't wait to get lost in the fucking maze that is oblivion gates

oh you're supposed to find this cave entrance that has no signifying features and blends into the mountain face and in a completely random inconspicuous location and you've been running around trying to get to the main tower for 1.5 hours?

great fucking game wooooooooooo

all snobby comments about oblivion aside, the dark brotherhood questline is the best questline in the ES series. bar none.

i liked these because I could jump way way way higher than i ever could on my skateboard

just go to the park and sprint at a bench/table and grind the entire length of the thing. things were fun as all hell for awhile. this was like... god... 1997?

it got old after awhile because while doing sick ass grinds was fun as hell, that was all you could really do. went back to skateboarding pretty quick.

it's linked here. feels like Bush/Project for a New American Century.

his treasury secretary wrote this back in October too: https://archive.ph/IYXLe

seems like: crash the market, negotiate individually, new trade deals guaranteeing permanent/ongoing softening of the US Dollar.

i also appreciate all the user's providing analysis of what's going on other than "trump bad" or "trump insane." other than this site, the internet has mostly been a useless pile of shit this past week.
