Aussiemandeus, do games w Skyblivion trailer | Our Scariest Update On The Road To Release
@Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone avatar

I can’t wait for release of this, i like oblivion but the graphics have always been a challenge to my immersion

Keegen,

I’m most excited about them reworking all of the dungeons and forts! One of the biggest issues I have with Oblivion (aside from the enemy level scaling) is how bland and boring most of it’s dungeons are. It makes exploring the world feel bad when I know 90% of the caves I enter will be the same and have no worthwhile loot in them.

Igloojoe,

My biggest issue with oblivion had always been the control scheme of the game. It was designed specifically for console gaming. They then lazily ported to PC version WITH NO CONTROLLER SUPPORT.

Either way, all the problems people usually have with Oblivion would be fixed if done right in skyblivion.

So when will the game actually be a complete package than?

I agree with the premise; fandom sucks. But does it really require a 20 minute exposé though?

I’ve seen a few links to the Indie Wiki Buddy extension page. I’m not too interested in installing a browser extension to find new wikis, but I bookmarked their listing page: getindie.wiki/listings/

Another comment without watching so I might be repeating something in the video, but did they mention how poor bloated the site is? I was trying to use the Forgotten Realms wiki and after a few tabs it would grind my browser to a halt. For something that really just needs to be serving text and a few images it’s wild how badly the site performs.

cttttt,

Yah. Fandom is an Adblock-required site. And even then it’s pretty hard to browse.

Not watching a YT video.

Anyone got a synopsis?

Azzu,

Fandom is for-profit and making their service ever more shitty in pursuit of that. Use getindie.wiki

Or maybe check other comments in this thread

It’s called enshittification

Azzu,

Thanks for the trendy buzzword :D

Didn’t know nerd at DEFCON can create a trendy buzzword. Wonderful time we live in, isn’t it?

Vordus,

It’s a shoe-in for Merriam Webster’s word of the year, I reckon.

iamtrashman1312,

I don’t know why you’re being downvoted, now you say it I’m like 99% sure we’re gonna see “ensh*ttification” on the poll this year

fne8w2ah,

Search Cory Doctorow if you wanna know what that term really means.

Thank you, I already watched his talk on DEFCON.

You could always use Invidious or Piped (instance list here) to avoid using YT directly if you want. You won’t get any ads or anti-adblocker bullshit with Invidious, so I usually use that. I’m not sure about Piped, but it seems good too. Unless your point is to simply stop using YT for anything, in which case just ignore what I said.

EDIT: To the now 8 of you who downvoted me, just, why? No, seriously, why. If you downvote me, please at least tell me why you are instead of downvoting and leaving. It makes me anxious to think that I was a dick or spreading misinformation or just being rude and not even noticing it, and would much rather have someone say something to me so I can at least know what people don’t like. That’s not to say I would agree with it, I might not, but I’d rather know what the problem is so I can agree or disagree.

cyanarchy,

I think it’s the fact that not everything needs a 20 minute video. There’s a lot of topics that I’m interested in but skip because I don’t have 20, 30, 40, 60 minutes for it.

mrchampion,

That makes sense. I just thought he had something against Youtube (and for good reason), since he only said “Not watching a YT video” instead of “Not watching a 20min video”.

Given the criticism of Fandom, why not use a Piped link instead of YT? It’s like criticizing YT on YT.

Flax_vert,

YT isn’t fandom-level bad.

nodimetotie,

It’s certainly heading in that direction

Saw this yesterday. Great video that informed me on something I was completely oblivious to. Fuck fandom

I got special Stylish CSS blocking half the shit on Fandom. IDK about any politics about them but the site is borderline unusable.

I didn’t know the first one until I got it as one of epic free games and it blew my mind. I’m keeping this onw on my radar.

An extension called Indie Wiki Buddy can also help with this by helping direct you to known alternatives to fandom for specific franchises or falling back to Breezewiki-based instances that rehost Fandom content without all of the Fandom bloat. It also provides this filtering and hinting to search results too, so you don’t have to change your workflow too much to use it.

morgunkorn, (edited ) do games w Stop using Fandom
@morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

My easy solution, whenever I land on a fandom page, is to add “anti” in front of the domain name, “antifandom” will filter out the crep out of the original page and present a clean version of the wiki. This is powered by BreezeWiki

Example:

For just about every single pokemon fan game I play, the fandom wiki pages have pretty much been utter garbage. Either they’re out of date, contain almost no useful info, or have a slew of other problems making it as painful as falling in a bunch of cacti. Same for most other ones I used to visit.

Will admit, Pokemon Empire having their own site for their fan game is still infinitely better than the fandom pages for it.

Does serebii.net or bulbapedia only cover the original franchise games? Just curious. Haven’t played a Pokémon game in a long time.

AceFuzzLord,

I think bulbapedia cover just about any official content as far as I’m aware, so long as it’s licensed or made by nintento directly. Anything from the games to the anime to the trading cards to things like obscure licensed Japanese arcade games based on the franchise.

Don’t know if serebii does all that or if it just focuses on the games since I don’t use it.

I don’t seem to run into a lot of Hollow Knight fans around here yet so I popped over to the HK community on that other website. Confirm: this video is one of the top trending on YouTube today lol. I figured, mossbag is…shall we say a very well-known figure in the community, if you’re not in the know.

I absolutely still rely on the wiki for HK shit I can’t remember like boss HP scaling and where tf was that last item I need for that one upgrade god dammit?? Glad to see them move to somewhere independent. Will donate.
