RIP Star Trek.

I've enjoyed every series from TOS to ENT, and liked every movie no matter how shitty it was (I'm looking at you, "The Voyage Home", "The Final Frontier" and "Insurrection").

Then JJ the Destroyer of Franchises came along and shat out those unwatchable reboot piles of manure. Then CBS decided to fuck Star Trek's still warm corpse by retconning TOS with that blasted fanfiction tier STD series.

RIP Cultural Sanity.

 

I graduated in 1976. That fall Charlies Angels premiered. Pure cheesecake, suitable for prime time T.V.

 

A flimsy premise held together by pretty girls being pretty. It was harmless fun, cheesecake is sexy, no harm no foul.

 

This pretty much summed up the Diaz/Liu/Barrymore effort.

 

What happens when you remove the central element of something this fragile, and when the cake falls because you took out the cheese - insanity ensues. It's like everyone involved forgot the big picture and now it's turned into something quite bizarre.

RIP Gamestop

It's just business. I'm sure it seemed that way back in the 80's when arcades began to die as people found better sources for entertainment. The fact the CEO is pointing blame is just self survival. I doubt there's anything the CEO could've done to stem the tide of progress, regardless of the direction it took.

There have been durable work pants before and after blue-jeans.

well aware I was talking canvas pants as a whole that is what I thought you meant

Well. I sort of do. If someone really is out clearing brush, etc. the functional merits of the fabric may be worth the cons. Though, there are modern alternatives for working materials too.

 

The problem is that 95% of the people wearing them haven't cleared brush (or anything else necessitating work pants) in their entire lives. They are wearing a heavy, overly-done, fancified work pant to pick up Starbucks in. It's mass fashion insanity.

R.I.P. Art and Culture- a bit premature I know. But, what's left is systematically being dissolved in the vast, homogenized sea of formulated, bureaucratic corporate interests. It's easy to think that as artists and free thinkers that we will be unaffected- nothing could be further from the truth.

R.I.P. community mod sharing. Too much bureaucracy to just upload something. The Nexus author board have become a board of lawyers and statists.

I'm siding with the guys from the r/modpiracy sub. I still keep my opinion about Reddit, though. Its not a good platform for us. Just look at r/skyrimmods, its like a propaganda front for the Nexus, and those overhyped mods which are not going anywhere. And there is Patreon, CC and paid mods too. Who would think modders would sink so low?

So far I have been looking at alternatives. Even Discord is now being considered. Maybe a network of blogs would be of benefit for independent modders. The best solution would still be a integrated blockchain, with a UI for downloading mods for several games, but I cant run more than 50gb at the moment.

Archive.org, it's where the most banned and censored books, music, films, etc.. End up...  That's where I got my Mr Bond albums from

Sucking at something is the cost that all beginners pay to become good at something.

STEAM, my you Rest in Hell.  Why.  For constantly and automatically loading updates that fuck up and destroy  previous work I've done with Skyrim and Fallout 4.  This causes me to constantly and for days re-update all my previous mods, presets and script extenders.  Fuck you very much and you can fuck yourself for all eternity. 

I read a post by a couple of Bethesda Devs about 2 years ago when Bethesda first dropped the Crapware Club nonsense on us that they didn't mean for their updates to break SKSE and future updates would be designed so as not to change the executable or the other core game files- in other words, future CC updates would not break our games. The next update contained the new xxxxxx.cc files that supposedly enabled this. However, Bethesda never stopped breaking the game with updates as the two or three devs of theirs had promised, choosing instead to break our games. It is not Steam's fault that Bethesda chooses to break our games. In fact, there are three ways within Steam for us to block the updates forever, or until we are ready to update- the choice is ours.

 

The only logical conclusion is that Bethesda, with malice aforethought, is trying to discourage modders so much that they will quit updating their mods. Sadly, it worked with a couple of them, who announced that they would no longer update their mods when updates break SKSE and hence their mods.

 

Within the past month, meh321 released his SKSE64 Address Library, a modder's resource to enable SKSE mods to continue to work regardless of updates. I don't know how many mod authors have taken advantage of it so far, but when they do it will greatly lessen the pain.

 

TL; DR: It's not Steam's fault, it's all on Bethesda.
