    No, there is. Any other planet, this cursed rock asides, holds one thing of a great value - freedom. The further the planet is from Earth, the easier it is to defend against Earthling scum and to live in freedom. I'm perfectly fine living in cheap @ss underground cave habitat. I mean, let's be...

    Russia attacks Ukraine

    Maybe we'll have a proper nuclear war after all. Are your nuclear shelters ready, folks?

    Unpopular Opinion and Discussion thread

    You wouldn't. Look at Elon Musk. All that money. Yet he still hasn't achieved his dream of getting to Mars. Problem with money is that it doesn't really solve any fundamental issues with humankind. Their corruption, stupidity, wickedness and so forth. For example, the most common cause for...

    The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remake/Remaster.

    Pardon my ignorance. I've actually not played any tES games previous to Morrowind. I did read about them and considered playing them, graphics looked sufficient, but, if I remember correctly, I didn't like enemy spawning mechanics. Not sure if tES games before Morrowind where much moddable either.

    The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remake/Remaster.

    Scaling is a general problem in TeS games. The big settlements are also not supposed to be that small (goes for all TeS games). The upside is it makes it easier to borrow TeS maps for use in other games, in case you want to wander the Nirn in non-TeS games too.

    The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remake/Remaster.

    I still would like to know what new features does this remake have, graphics aside.

    Help topic: Identifying books/comic books/movies/anything

    Ha. Cool topic. Ok, let's go at it. Said cartoon OR anime I watched many, many years ago on some German TV channel. I only remember it had a guy frog (or froglike) character who was after a fey/pixie/sth like girl character. Instead of having the usual happy ending, this cartoon had the fey...

    How's Your Day?

    Warpforge last update turned out to have introduced another bug that disables some achievements. Will have to shelve that game. Again. How nice would it be if it would be possible to actually report bugs for it. But no, I will not search home addresses for the devs and visit them in person, efff...

    Phone identification

    Do you folks know any way how to ID the type of phone the person on the other end has (at least whether it's Android or Apple) ? Tried searching on internet for this, to no avail.

    How's Your Day?

    Another day dealing with the bureaucracy. Sometimes I'm thinking maybe I should just go to a Western country, manage to land myself in the prison there and that's it, I have a simpler life. I mean look how nicely Breivik is doing, ehh. At least the Borne book seems good so far. Proper...

    Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Discussion

    I liked it. I had multiple runs, majority of them ended prematurely (either bug or stuck on my own, that was many, many years ago), but not that many years ago I actually did finish one run with a simple ork fighter. After that I feel no more urge to play it. I wouldn't mind an Arcanum 2 though.

    Games you love, but don't really...

    All. No, I mean, really, pretty much every game has some drawbacks. First two Fallouts - good games, not much mods. Same goes for Arcanum. Fallout fps'es after that - tons of mods, but actually spending a week to set it all (up to 256 modules, i.e., mods and vanilla) up so it works together is...

    How's Your Day?

    Uneventful. Waiting on others mostly. Waiting for some modders to fix some bug, waiting on some developers to fix another bug, waiting on the bureaucrats to finish LSP for my wife and so forth. Come to think of it, there are technically many games where I'm waiting for the bugs to be fixed. Some...

    Knives

    I've only some cheap cr*p left. Once I had even HJ replica stiletto, now that was a nice piece. But I either lost it or it got stolen. But overall I prefer telescopic baton for self defense, has further reach, less likely to accidentally kill the perp, but enough to make the opponent unable to...
