For day one, performance is actually fine. I have much bigger gripes than getting fps dips in the open zones. Like levelling ffs. I have 100 strength, willpower, and blades, but am doing less damage to mobs now than I was doing in the beginning of the game. Or levelled loot drops and quests.
The remaster is good. I hope Skyblivion is good. More games for consumers, the better. People here are commenting as if Bethesda has a responsibility to handhold the entire modding community. They are just doing their thing to make some money with employees that want to get paid and also make good games. Bethesda has had some downs but also some ups. This remaster is an up so I enjoy more Elder Scrolls.
I agree with all of that so boycott American and bolster other trade partners. It doesn’t have to be Russia. But buying only European is also not buying non-EU and non-American.
Sure, exclude the tariffs then. How is your mindset different than Trump’s? How is Buy European not the same nationalism? Are you going to boycott services and products from Canada, Central and South America, UK, Africa, etc?
American here. Personally, I disagree with the buy European movement. Getting Americans to buy American is exactly what Trump is doing by establishing tariffs. And if Europe was serious about buying European, then they would establish their own tariffs for non-EU countries. I would much rather see a buy “local” movement that is anti-corp or anti-America and more focusing on building up your local communities.
3·10 days agoI feel like basic camouflage wouldn’t be difficult for a UFO. With more advanced camouflage, there’s no way we would know.
Or use tap water to wash your food?
This feels like one of those things where couch critics aren’t qualified. There’s a pretty strong history of three letter agencies using this strategy successfully in other organized crime industries.

I don’t know. You tell me, headline.
54·1 month agoWell it’s not easy. They are unsung heroes. They aren’t the only volunteers in this world. Do you think the people in our communities volunteering to pick up trash or people at homeless shelters volunteering are requesting compensation or a pat on the back? Honestly, there’s more than enough instances and volunteers to host those instances.
And just to clarify, I do think our admins deserve a pat on the back and donations. I am eternally grateful, but they shouldn’t resent their community for not donating to them.
The core argument here is should there be an expectation that donations should cover admins labor costs.
Personally, if an instance is run off of donations, then it’s a nice to have. As an admin, you shouldn’t have that expectation. If you no longer want to volunteer your time, then don’t. Shut the instance down, find someone to help you maintain the instance, or pass the instance off to someone else.
I’m also okay with paid instances and admins trying to make a reasonable salary or even making additional profit as long as it’s transparent to the users. It’s their choice to charge, it’s our choice to pay.
Overall, instances should be run by a group of volunteers, not a single individual. Otherwise, the long term viability of the instance is questionable.
This week I’m going to try out ungoogled Chromium and Vivaldi. I know Vivaldi is partially closed source, but I’m not actually in the camp that thinks all closed source is bad.
Eh, I think that’s a stretch. Right now, Lemmy is going nuclear on Firefox. Should I also stop using Librewolf, too, because ultimately, it contributes to Firefox? Chromium is solid and I think it’s better to show what type of chromium we want instead of outright boycotting the entire open source project.
What’s wrong with ungoogled-chromium? Or Vivaldi?
True, but I’m currently playing with my kids on Xbox too.
