Now that’s some dank strains. Someone needs to be at out critical mass and blue dream, and I think we found our man… Facelikeapotato, we don’t deserve you, but we need you
Maybe it’s different in the USA, but I’ve travelled a lot and don’t think I ever remember a long haul flight without multiple babies and young children. It’s just a fact of travelling.
I recently did a 16hr flight solo and the other 3 seats in my row of 4 were parents and a toddler.
That’s just part of flying and you should plan for it (noise cancelling headphones, sleeping tablets, ear plugs).
kids crying/screaming on public transport/etc rarely bothers me. impatient parents hissing at them to shut up and sit down does, however… i get it, they’re tired, being a parent is hard, but still.
a kid cries on the tram? i keep reading, barely even notice
a parent goes off on their kid? rips me right out of the book and makes me take notice
We’ve flown a lot in the US with our now 2 year old to visit family, and have never had anyone say anything to us on a flight in a negative way. We’ve had a lot of people tell us how great our son did even if he got a little fussy here and there. We’ve flown first class with him several times and no issues.
I’d say we’re lucky that he is a little rockstar and handles it very well, but it is definitely stressful for us but just part of what we have to do sometimes to see family. I feel terrible for people that have to do longer haul flights with smaller kids though, 2-3 hours is manageable but if we had family overseas we would probably fork over the cash to fly people to us rather than put him on a plane for that long. For our sake more than his lol.
If Bethesda beats Skyblivion to the market, having sat on its hands for 8 fucking years watching its development, I can’t imagine how that would feel to those on the mod project.
I wouldn't mind a remake, provided they did it correctly.
See, earlier games talked about Tamriel (edit; Cyrodiil), it was described as being a dense, bamboo filled jungle, The empire was described as being sort of like Rome, but with an ancient Chinese bent.
In other words, nothing like the generic European fantasy land that we actually got.
Imagine a claustrophobic jungle where adventure is just on the other side of the tree line. You could stumble on to hidden temples and cozy villages.
Sadly, that would require more than one type of tree texture. Otherwise, it would be a wall of blandness for the entire game, and if you're doing a wall of blandness, you might as well open things up so that the player can see the horizon.
This is why Morrowind sucked me in back in the day. Huge-ass mushrooms everywhere. Weird floating jellyfish and all manner of bizarre creatures from top to bottom. It was so foreign and different, it was amazing.
I played TES Online briefly and the uniqueness of Morrowind was incredibly stark. Every other zone is just standard European fantasy. And that’s fine, but what originally pulled me into the series was the strangeness of Morrowind. It was truly unique.
It’s a bit sad to me that they brought the series way back into the standard fantasy fare.
Yeah, that’s probably why I bounced off of Skyrim. I skipped Oblivion, so I came in expecting an interesting environment and it was just standard European fantasy for the most part.
I thought this whole “object behind paper against a mirror” thing was just a meme at first because the result is very intuitive and not at all shocking… But then I guess people genuinely didn’t get it? People really can be so stupid.
I'd be more likely to buy it in the hopes they do something like Skyrim Anniversary edition and give owners the game free/discounted.
Admittedly because it's older that's less likely (especially free), but they could do it to keep good faith so those people evangelize the game on other platforms and to new audiences. I was surprised they did it for Skyrim, which was also pretty old.
