Bethesda games have always been incredibly shallow. How is there anyone that doesn’t see this?

I’ll die before I install Facebook Messenger
I finally went in for an adult diagnosis yesterday and this is pretty much the entire checklist they went through.
I have a half bathroom about this far from the kitchen in my house. What’s wrong with this?
We never forget GenX, we just only mention them when they’re important
This sure seems to be passing the buck from the people who started the wars to the poor people who fight them
Browsing personal sites, especially social media, on a work computer is insane
They sure aren’t. They give up their wealth, but by doing so gain more power. They get to decide what is important for the world by dumping millions of dollars in their favourite charities. Charities that they conveniently get to put their names on to feel good about themselves.
I want them to give up their wealth and power for the benefit of society. But they aren’t going to do that, are they?
You’ve inspired* me to try installing Linux on my $50 windows atom tablet. I wonder if I can dual boot…
*reminded me that I owned the piece of junk
Upvotes are useful for determining what people like and dislike so you can sort posts and comments
Account karma is for narcissists to masturbate about how loved they are
i is for index. j is simply the next letter and we’re too lazy to think up something meaningful
Consider the opposite. Every single person on the planet making 10 posts per day. It would be like Facebook on super meth.
You don’t let pedophiles babysit your kids, and you don’t let Facebook federate with your social network.
The same reason that a lot of crosswalks have fake buttons. So you feel like you have control.
I’m liking it a lot. Completely replaced Reddit. Hopefully there will be fewer posts about how Reddit sucks soon as that will start to smell of obsession very quickly.
Kinda like how conservative subreddits were nothing but complaining about progressives, or how r/sino is nothing but trying to shit on America
Mage hand is the kind of spell that is incredibly useful and dynamic in actual ttrpgs, and incredibly difficult to design around in a video game.
A GM is going to consider the distance and weight limits of the spell, and determine of it makes sense of not. If you stole The One Ring from Frodo, for example, the GM can pivot and make the world react to that.
The video game has to program all possible uses of the spell while also trying to keep a prewritten story on track. If you steal The One Ring from frodo, the game would have to reinvent the plot dynamically, which isn’t really possible. The end result is that they have to severely limit the uses of Mage Hand.
Because Mage Hand is so potentially chaotic, it can’t be as useful as it would seem. The same would go for the spells Fly and Invisibility. Imagine the Black Gate of Mordor. If there was a level 6 wizard, they could use fly + invisibility to get everyone safely over the wall. Now, sure, it would take a while waiting for spell slots, but this is supposed to be the most fortified pass in the entire world. Even GMs have problems with this. Suddenly every remotely secure area needs a mage on staff detecting intruders, or permanent enchantments. At that point, Fly might as well not exist.
Edit: I forgot that fly and invisibility both require concentration. Oops. Still, now you only need a level 6 mage and a level 4 mage, which is still pretty easy to pull off.
