I said he should be fired, and nothing else. You are putting words in my mouth and clearly arguing in bad faith. Feel free to take the last word if it makes you feel better, there’s no point in continuing to talk to you.

Don’t mix criticisms of how someone does their job with encouraging death threats. He is the head writer. If the writing has gotten worse, it’s his responsibility.

It was a joke, Emil, I’m sorry I hurt your feelings.

Skyrim is the same way. I really hope they adopt combat similar to Mordhau or Chivalry for ES6, but that seems about as likely as them firing Emil Pagliarulo to bring the writing standard back up.

Also, the characters still look vaguely horrifying, just in a more crisp but less charming way than they used to.

I haven’t played the remaster, but the old Oblivion leveling system was exceedingly hard to do efficiently unless you planned in advance. It very much needed a rework, although skyrim dumbed it down way too much, in my opinion.

Basically, among all the skills, like destruction magic, blade, sneak, you pick 7 (I think it’s 7) major skills. Those get a boost at the beginning. When you raise your various major skills 10 times, you level up. When you level up, you get to raise three attributes, like strength, speed, or intelligence. You get bonuses to how much you can raise an attribute per level, with 1 being the minimum and 5 being the max. The bonuses are determined by what skills you raised during the last level. For example, the sneak skill is tied to the agility attribute, so raising your sneak skill gets you a bigger agility bonus on leveling up. So, to optimize it, you’d have to raise your major skills exactly 10 times (so none of them go to waste) and fill out the bonuses by raising minor skills, which don’t count towards a level up, to get the ideal spread of +5 to 3 attributes per level.

The main problem with it in Oblivion was that the enemies grow stronger as you level up, and since a lot of people didn’t understand the leveling system, they’d wind up with horribly underpowered characters in the late game. Some people deliberately remained at level 1 to keep the enemies easy.

It’s not him trolling us, it’s his dementia trolling us. Or maybe his plain old stupidity. Honestly it’s hard to tell at this point.

Zinc?

It would* take years. The factories aren’t going to start operations at all.

Let’s not be satisfied until they suffer their worst quarter ever.

And then go further.

Sadly I’m sure he already has a golden parachute prepared.

“Don’t make me hit you harder.”

Abusive relationships are the only kind Trump knows how to have.

If I took a drink every time I read a lemmy post about some country hating on the current US, thought to myself “Can’t blame em”, and kept scrolling, I’d be wasted before I got out of bed.

Excited to see what they’ll do with Revanced for cars.

He’s probably having his stock broker sell off a bunch of stuff, announcing tariffs, then buying back. His stock transactions should be public record while president.

It’s shocking you can fit so much blood on such a small area.

Makes sense. One nationalist dipshit leader could be written off as a fluke, even if they’d gotten a consecutive term. Now America tried something else and then went back to the nationalist dipshit.

The house’s majority is slim enough that 2 defectors are all that’s needed.

Does this need to go through congress?

With Zelenskyy saying the end of the war may be very far off, it looks like Ukraine is preparing to go ahead without US aid, rather than be pressured to give in to Russian ultimatums.

They’ve been trained to disregard anyone who tells them what they don’t want to hear. They harnessed human nature to brainwash people en masse.
