I have hopes from these reviews, although I do wonder how much of the score improvement is due to From Software's new reputation.

Unplayable mess? I never said that. However, more than a few people had game-breaking bugs in Skyrim and had to restart or hope they had a save from far enough back.

Obviously Skyrim was playable enough since it was an immediate critical success. I can't really speak for fallout 4 since I never played it and didn't bother following the news for it.

That being said, there are memes older than some people on lemmy equating Bethesda and bugs. They've earned their reputation, but good and bad.

Mark my words, this is coming. Once RAM is cheaper than having multiple production lines, you'll buy phones with RAM that is disabled and you'll have the option of enabling it OTA.

That's also why you encrypt your drives. The average enterprise figured out how to let somebody work from an airport long ago. It's really not a huge deal.

Yeah, but their kids don't get to choose not to have shithead parents.

I somehow doubt Austin needed this. Meanwhile, I'm posting this via an ancient DSL connection that barely functions.

I'm excited for Starfield but buying a Bethesda game on release week is probably a bad idea. Let them get a few patches out first.

Assuming Armored Core is as polished as many of these reviews suggest, it might be a great game to tide me over until then.

Eh, I kinda doubt this will be his last mugshot. Although I guess the first will still be most famous.

I thought the advantage of carpooling was saving money on gas and car maintenance. Also, environment.

Probably because they wouldn't see a dime of revenue from this. It would be a new law that just says they have to do it. At best, they would be allowed to pass the costs to customers somehow, likely through our plate registrations at the DMV.

It's basically a no win for the car companies. Lots of ill will, increased chance of litigation, increased costs for building cars, all for nothing.

In fact, I bet the car companies lobbyists are the reason we don't have this already.

Your highschool government class should have covered this. A pure popular vote system is essentially mob rule, and mobs are fucking idiots. The idea is that you vote people into office that are smart, that are trained, that are the best of us.

If this actually works, the next step will be abolishing the two-term limit. "Leave it to the will of the people to decide if they want a dictatorship."
