Hadriscus, do games w World of Warcraft boss says Microsoft is happy to 'let Blizzard be Blizzard,' but I'm not sure that's entirely true

It reminds me of the line of defense some people have over sexual harassers - most recently Gérard Depardieu “oh it’s Gérard, that’s just how he is, leave him be” when he got sexually explicit in front of a 7yo

Boring Dystopia

They gonna let blizz be blizz, insofar as microsoft gonna keep giving the macroshaft. They gonna fuck you, but when they’re done, they let you keep your ass. Wouldn’t be much use to them without it…

Katana314, do games w World of Warcraft boss says Microsoft is happy to 'let Blizzard be Blizzard,' but I'm not sure that's entirely true

Wait, do they mean 2016 Blizzard, or 2024 Blizzard? I feel like no one is happy letting 2024 Blizzard stay…

Funny thing is, now it’s adding to the list of terrible failing games Microsoft has put out from companies that used to matter. Who remembers Redfall?

Meanwhile, BOINC is right there, with far more useful work for your idle GPU to do.

egonallanon,

Always been a folding@home guy myself.

herrcaptain, do gaming w So many people are downloading Fallout mods after watching the show that the Nexus is straining to support all the traffic

Unfortunately with the upcoming FO4 patch in a few days, a lot of those mods are gonna be broken for a few weeks/months. Bad timing by Bethesda on that front.

The show caused me to finally buy FO4, and so I immediately hopped onto Nexus and downloaded the highest-rated mod collection for the game. It has over 700 mods, so something tells me I won’t actually be playing much of the game for a while yet. (I wouldn’t deign to play a modern Bethesda game without mods.)

ThoGot,

Isn’t there a way to disable automatic updates?

@Qkall@lemmy.ml avatar

There is… But let me tell you… I’ve had to restore my backups several times. Occasionally steam just will update it… It drives me nuts

FooBarrington,

Can’t you start the game from the copy? You might have to manually set the Steam app ID, but that should be the easier way.

@Qkall@lemmy.ml avatar

i cloud game and luckily there’s back ups. but i boot the cloud, boot moonlight and click skse64… about 1.5 months skyrim will update. and its a pita. steam just be like that. it’s honestly why i havent tried fo4 lately. i wanna bad.

nul9o9,

What i did with Skyrim was setting the update option in steam to only update when i launch the game. But then only launch the game with the script extender.

Monster96,

You’re gonna have to watch that mod count. I had to axe a bunch of my mods because the game kept crashing every few minutes due to scripts and visual stuff

herrcaptain,

That’s what I thought when I saw the number of mods in that pack, but after a bit of tweaking (a few mods that cause crashing in Linux) it’s been quite stable. I’m only about 10 hours in though.

CaptnNMorgan,

Just use wabbajack or a nexus collection. Takes out all the guess work

neutron,

Back in the day I used Mod Organizer + F4SE so I could avoid the official launcher and all the bs that came with it.

GammaGames,

Nowadays you can pick a collection and install it without having to worry about compatibility, someone else already figured it out! I think that’s worth using vortex

CaptnNMorgan,

Wabbajack is even better! If you’re playing Skyrim, Nolvus is amazing and has its own installer, even installs an enb for you, you can choose between 4 or 5 of them

GammaGames,

Wabbajack is how I always dreamed it would be

Aight I won’t mod my game for a while, thanks for the info yall.

@FenrirIII@lemmy.world avatar

I was about to install and play, but now I’m waiting. I have ancient mods that still work, but I can live without them. I’m mostly concerned with newer mods, which generally have active support from the authors.

@EdibleFriend@lemmy.world avatar

Quarter of a century? It can’t have been that long since the original…oh…oh no…

partial_accumen,

Then you won’t be horrified at all to learn the original Castlevania was released on NES in 1987, right?

JoMiran,
@JoMiran@lemmy.ml avatar

NES releases don’t bother me because I was still a kid when I played them. Things released twenty years ago bother me because it seems like yesterday given that I was already an adult with an established career and a mortgage.

EdibleFriend,
@EdibleFriend@lemmy.world avatar

No that’s the point I’m making. When I read the headline I was horrified that it’s been that long since the original and they’re not even talking about that.

Time is a son of a bitch.

MeekerThanBeaker,

It just sounds like you are saying that the original Castlevania came out a quarter of a century ago, which would be 1999.

EdibleFriend, (edited )
@EdibleFriend@lemmy.world avatar

No I didn’t say it originally came out then I said that my first knee-jerk reaction was that it couldn’t possibly been that long since the original and then I came to realize it’s been so much longer

ripcord,
@ripcord@lemmy.world avatar

We get what you meant. And I totally agree with the reaction.

Don’t know why that person is having a tough time getting it.

spongebue,

That’s fine until you tell me that’s almost 40 years ago!

OhmsLawn,

That’s what it said in the title, a quarter century ago.

    aniki, do games w A Konami code variant in Castlevania has been discovered after a quarter of a century

    Has anyone played it? I wonder if its any good… I always thought that N64 game was generally considered one of those awful 3d renditions of a 2d classic.

    Jerkface,

    Castlevania 64 was clearly an unfinished game. The first couple levels make their ambitions clear, and the rest of the game is just sort of slapped together. Legacy of Darkness added the rest of the game.

    Nobody really celebrates these games. I grew up with them and can appreciate the experience they were offering, but they weren’t exactly my favorites, and I don’t feel they aged particularly well. Maybe take a look through a long play video before committing any real time to it.

    Gabu,

    Good? No, definitely not.

    HappycamperNZ, do games w A Konami code variant in Castlevania has been discovered after a quarter of a century

    Similar code for the spyro demo in crash 3

    The only reason it’s been that long is because the Castlevania games on the N64 were trash.
