I got it at launch, spent 80 hours in it, and had my fun. With that being said, Bethesda games have hooked me my entire life, starting with Morrowond at age 9.

I keep meaning to go back and finish the main storyline for Starfield. It’s not as engrossing of a world as Fallout or Skyrim, but it’s fun enough for what it is - it’s just not “great” the way Bethesda’s other games are.

Might be worth waiting for a sale price though, there’s always one around the corner.

Lots of MSPs have already been doing / selling this exact thing for years.

AliExpress’ purchase protection is a total farce.

In one case, I was shipped the wrong variant of an item and the seller was totally unresponsive. Submitted evidence, AliExpress closed the case saying that Tracking shows it was delivered. No way to appeal.

In another case, I ordered something to my business and the Chinese courier service left the parcel out front on a public sidewalk. Naturally, the parcel was stolen. The courier service eventually admitted, in writing, that the delivery was mishandled and that the shipper was the only one who could file a claim. Once again, vendor unresponsive, AliExpress closes the case saying @Tracking shows delivered” with no way to appeal.

Meanwhile, I had a $1,000 Amazon package get stolen the other week and they refunded it with minimal fuss. The return policy is so easy might as well be “try before you buy”. I can see why people have a hard time de-Amazoning.

this shuts down rumors that bethesda will move to unreal engine for ES6

It shuts down rumors that Bethesda will move to pure Unreal Engine for ES6, though I never believed that to be the case.

I see the Oblivion remaster as a bit of a proof of concept of sorts - the potential to have the world, scripts, logic, and physics running on the Creation Engine that devs (and modders!) are intimately familiar with while running the visuals on a separate Unreal Engine layer.

Shedding the need to do extra work on fancy lighting and graphical effects so they can focus on optimizing the bones / structure seems logical to me, but then again this is the diluted Microsoft-era Bethesda we’re talking about so who knows.

LN1 and LN2 were made by ThQNordic

Both were made by Tarsier Studios, as is Reanimal. THQ Nordic is the parent company / publisher.

DOA had a high - mid - low attack/defend/counter/hold system.

A player who understands the core mechanics will have an easy time wrecking a button masher

Back in the day, I bought some Fortnite VBucks to get a couple skins and emotes. It wasn’t really to “show off to others”, I was just tired of looking st the same starter character and all of the gameplay based aspects of the game are free so I figured “Why not”. I did the same in some F2P MMOs like Vindictus and Black Desert.

In shooters, I usually don’t engage with skin mechanics because they are, in most cases, immersion breaking. I like my firearms black or maybe with some FDE furniture, I might do some cosmetic customization as long as it’s believable enough for the setting. Definitely not spending real money on any of that stuff.

I know I can put together a prompt to give any of today’s leading models and am essentially guaranteed a fresh perspective on the topic of interest

I’ll never again ask a human to write a computer program shorter than about a thousand lines, since an LLM will do it better

I can agree with some of the parts about how some humans can be really annoying but this mostly reads like AI propaganda from someone who has deluded themselves into believing an LLM is actually any good at critical thought and context awareness.

I don’t know that PhotoRec was the ideal place to start for this case, as it is file signature based and will scrape for an insane number of results.

I recommend that you give DMDE a shot, run a full scan of your disk and then have a look through the FS Reconstruction with deleted files included.

I picked up an old Dell server some time ago and wound up finding firmware that made the RAID card passthrough so that TrueNAS could have direct access to disks for ZFS

That server was all SATA based so I’m not sure what options you’ll have, but it’s worth looking into.

Ultimately, my thinking is that just because there’s something “better” out there doesn’t mean you shouldn’t work with what you have.

Or perhaps it could be something other than malice?

This person is putting up with a misbehavior they don’t have to live with. They’re presenting the perception that it’s due to the nature of the operating system.

My Toyota engine dies when I idle, therefore all Toyotas and fundamentally flawed.

Flawed logic, no? And yet, when it comes to tech, plenty of folks apply the same type of thought pattern.

You’re right that one would think the issue is as it seems on the surface. Computers are actually a bit more complicated than that.

One fail mode of memory is the occasional bit flip silently corrupting data in the background. As time goes on and new data is written to a disk, things can get weirder and weirder over time.

We don’t know if Windows and Linux are sharing a physical disk (I hope for their sake they aren’t) and we don’t know how old the Linux deployment is, so it’s possible it hasn’t had the opportunity to get progressively messed up enough yet.

Another key variable is that the Linux environment might not be interacting with every single piece of hardware, or that the structure of those interactions could result in symptoms manifesting differently or not at all.

I’ve had situations where a MacBook’s keyboard and trackpad were completely functional in Linux and Windows, but absolutely dysfunctional in any MacOS based environment. The fix? Replacement trackpad cable.

At the end of the day, the situation they’re describing is not common for the OS and indicates something is very wrong.

There’s plenty to complain about with Windows, but if this were a typical experience people would not be putting up with it.

A device with those symptoms coming through my shop is statistically likely to be leaving with replaced parts, a component level repair, or at the very least a complete OS and Driver reinstallation after passing extensive diagnostic testing and behavioral isolation.

This is not a typical experience, you have some kind of hardware issue or corruption / incongruities in your OS deployment.

Well, I stand corrected, I hadn’t been in the loop as to how deep this really ran.

They probably would have saved a ton of money and bad PR by just paying ANTIREAL for this work.

How does one […]

This is the key element. I don’t think this is a case where a team collectively chose to steal someone’s art.

If the theft was deliberate, it was probably an individual, with how big these projects are it’s not hard to consider how that may have flown under the radar.

I could also see one team member collecting assets to serve as inspiration and another implementing them without realizing they weren’t created in house.

With how exhausting the current state of the world is, I could even see a burnt out employee tossing something together without remembering where the asset came from.

Not trying to excuse what happened, the original artist is definitely owed for this, but there are other potential explanations for this beyond intentional malice.

Having both on a different connection is essential!

If you have a spare router, you could connect it via ethernet to the host and then connect your client to that WiFi.

Host would then be able to maintain its internet connection over WiFi and there would be a separate dedicated LAN just for the stream.

That’s surprising to hear, for me the latency is not noticeable even over WAN. We’ve had VR capable streaming for years now, and area where latency issues cause physical sickness.

You might have a network level issue. Gigabit ethernet to the host, WiFi 5 or better for the client, QoS configured to prioritize both devices in the router settings?

With a strong internet connection and more capable desktop device, you can already stream for hours with high fidelity graphics, 60+ FPS, and no fan noise.

With that in mind, buying a new Steam Deck is probably going to be multiple generations off for me.

Game is pretty fun, it had me typing out some pretty silly stuff that had me chuckling
