  • Morrowind was my first Elderscrolls game. I loved morrowind and I would buy an remaster of it.

    Oblivion came out when I was an adult. I sunk thousands of hours into it when it came out. It was my favorite game by far at that time.

    Skyrim I didn’t enjoy. It was fine, I guess. But by the time Skyrim came around I started to see Bethesda change. Fallout 4 and then Fallout 76 sealed the deal for me turning from a Bethesda fanboy to a hater.

    Overall, I do not believe Bethesda will ever put out another new original game that is polished or quality. Bethesda rips off their biggest supporters and lies to their customers.

    That being said. I’m very happy with this remake. Because it’s been 20 years since I first played, I genuinely only remember a few strong moments. All the minor quests and even the main story I barely remember the details of. So, it’s nice to revisit the game as a more mature adult. I think they did a fantastic job keeping the feel the same but it looks great considering.

    Can’t run it on my LegionGo that’s my only complaint. I’m happy with having bought the remastered version of Oblivion because I’m sure as hell never buying a new original game from Bethesda ever again. Not unless they do an about face.



  • Hey welcome! I switched over to Lemmy after 11+ years on Reddit. People actually talk to you here versus in Reddit!

    To me, the Reddit experience feels like shouting into the void now. Very much like alone in a crowded room (of mostly bots). You can go back and check if your posts and comments there had been blocked from being seen by others. It’s staggering how many posts and comments are blocked over there. You can see how many posts and comments from normal Redditors are hidden here: Reveddit.

    Post stuff when you feel ready too! Your posts are needed because it’s just humans here. There’s no algorithm and there aren’t any bots reposting reposts.

    If you weren’t there, Lemmy feels like Reddit 10 years ago in a good way.

    Welcome again, Morbitm! 😄

    Yeah, on this topic I feel like she’s in the ballpark. My girlfriend and I game in the same spaces but we don’t always announce that we are together IRL for privacy sake. And we are both very independent people.

    The amount of weird dudes she’s ran into that have used “high value man” or “high value woman” is absolutely more than one. They’re pretty common to bump into in online spaces.

    The last time she ran into a problem with a dude like this—she read me the chat as it was going down. The guy was clearly into her but couldn’t handle that she was taken and had no interest. So, this random dude proceeded to call me a cuck (hahaha), asked if I “knew what she was up to” (gaming? lol), and that no high value man would want her! He did this in a public gaming space too and about 50 people thankfully dog piled and ratioed him into oblivion.

    Oh well! I guess she’s stuck with “her low value cuck man” who makes her coffee in bed every morning and with whom she raised a cute and healthy family with. She’s allowed to do whatever she wants and her male doesn’t even try to control her. How horrible! She’ll never recover!

    These dudes are dangerous in numbers. Which is why they deserve and need to be mocked mercilessly until they fuck off or get therapy.







  • I actually knew this! The creation origin is why I inhabit feddit.org consciously. In a dying instance, you found each other and came together to build where we speak now. I found that very human. Poignant.

    I did a dive on the history of Feddit.org. I went back and read all your (our I guess) original threads. I have also read the posts where the decision was made to changeover. I liked that the posts were kind, empathetic, although slightly sad. It made me understand the spirit of this instance.

    So, it’s true that no one has had contact with him? No one has any scraps of information from his real life? My guess is some of us do and the leads were exhausted. I have tracked down a fair share of anonymous friends across the world whom have disappeared. That is very sad.

    I didn’t know about the “Fediverse Foundation” nor the multiple Admin. Where may I learn more about this? Or is this just word of mouth?

    Thank you for sharing.


  • I’ve started to see that argument as a threat instead.

    Oh you want a living wage do you! Well if you manage to get your way I promise me and all my buddies will purposefully jack prices up to wipe out your raise. You want the number to change? Fine but know that if you do your earning power will stay stagnant. How? Because we are the invisible hand.

    I theorize that this is what happened when people had a bit of breathing room in 2021. People got a sliver of security and then “all the sudden” the prices got jacked up in every sector and every product way beyond the levels needed to offset supply chain issues.

    Living wage doesn’t drive inflation—oligopolists do.




  • Haha I was kind of being a bit tongue in cheek and joking around about the state of the world. I’m sorry if it came off as super serious—I was making a goofy comment.

    The entire world feels like a matchstick—will it snap or set itself on fire?

    I do believe Germany is leading the world right now but that is not a great development. It’s actually a position that reinforces and exposes how fucked we all are. I also think that Germany’s leadership is incredibly tentative and fragile. Germany reminds me of America way too much in the worst ways.

    The state of German politics and the rise of authoritarianism in Germany is something I worry about, genuinely, daily. I follow your elections closely and your politics.

    This is the real reason I started learning German. Because I have no illusions that human decency will continue standing. Most of our shared suffering is because economically we are all being crushed by a few outrageously rich evil entities. We face this together.

    I do appreciate your perspective though and I am aware of what’s going on there with the Ausländer and systemic issues. It’s scary honestly and I’m sorry if my joking made it seem like I was making light of these issues—I never meant it to come across that way.

    As for the crisis with your cost of living, economic opportunity and especially securing affordable housing. I saw one German comedy video put it succinctly: Was wollen Die Parteien eigentlich machen mit meinen hohen Lebenshaltungskosten zu helfen?

    And the “answer“ from every Partie was: Also wir wollen dir helfen indem wir Ausländer abschieben!

    Actually, I’m a lawyer so I appreciate the detail you put in to explain because the Tägliche Nachrichten I can read doesn’t go into detail like you have—so thanks!

    It’s because I’m specifically learning German and the universe shifted to my will. The universe created feddit.org to give me a clear path to achieve my goal of befriending Germans.

    This only happpened because me, Tischbier, decided to take an interest in Germany.

    You’re welcome.

    (Joking aside, I noticed on Reddit before I left and before I started to learn German, that ich_irl was hitting the front page a lot too. My family decided to learn German together probably in part because of how funny Germans are. I watch German YouTubers now too (Spacefrogs and Staiy). Germany is a pretty big country and I think them the top leader of the free world! I have enjoyed reading the actual Germans takes on this topic. Prost!)


  • It got super creepy when more shots of this women were released of her doing activities that no one would ever take a photo of themselves doing. Then the last photo was released separately of a NSFW don’t read if you are not in a place to read gore/graphic/assault

    Tap for spoiler

    Real photo of a dead woman who looks like Nicole in a morgue body bag with her flesh peeled off and her face beaten. It’s unlikely that this disturbing turn is real but it was horrific for people who received this last spam. That is what triggered the ultimate ban on all images (since this is most likely a psychopathic copycat). :(
