cc tv footage of a khajit gang stealing ipads from target

Forget stock photos, this is the real top lemmy meme

idk what the origin is but I remember a meme where somebody asked for an AI Prompt image of the Pope stealing ipads from target. Image was almost sort of okay, but I'm not into that fake baby sentience hype so it always falls flat on me. In fact, people's obsession with it is a major annoyance to me, I usually immediately hit the hide community button on AI communities. It's like the fortnite dances of the tech industry.

Combat was honestly terrible. I think it says quite a lot that people loved it anyways.

Also says a lot that they had a perfectly good spell crafting system they threw in the trash because...?

Morrowind had an even better system that they kept dumbing down with each game. I chock it up to Bethesda being Bethesda by not wanting people to have the capability of breaking the magic system.

I like Morrowind as much as anyone but also appreciate the streamlined approach of Skyrim. I mean, I don't really need to equip each pauldron separately...

But Oblivion always felt wrong to me. Too dumbed down coming from Morrowind, but not simplified enough to be as fun as Skyrim.

Plus enemies scaled in a way that if you weren't minmaxing your levelups, the whole world turned into bulletsponges.

Really? I played a Nord Warrior in Oblivion and had a pretty chill time, even destroyed minotaurs pretty regularly to sell their 2h weapons. I remember having a rotation between their respawn locations and a bandit camp, then I'd sleep until they were up again.

Skyrim on the other hand, the scaling is atrocious. One second you're killing tens of people handily and the next an outlaw is killing tens of you handily.

Which is absurd, because the Restoration loop broke the shitty balance of Skyrim worse than console commands.

I don't recall what they changed about the crafting system other than removing Jump and Levitate, the cowards.

I yet have to play Morrowwind and Oblivion properly, but in Skyrim it is fairly easy to exploit the trade skills and magic together to get not just ridiciously, but infinitely overpowered.

Nonsense! It's the name of this sub

Are you thinking of ItemShop?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

A suicide store? I thought you had to go to Canada for that.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Or food and guns, or cleaning supplies and guns, or guns and other guns.
