What is it about staying loyal to Nexus anymore? Like no uploads anywhere else with their assets. They did something to earn that loyalty or something? :smirk:

 

 

Much like the bashing FO4 gets (and the studio behind it),  the final product is the best around.   The small things, like ease of finding mods, having a mod download history, as well as having 43,000 FO4 mods (with 1.1 billion downloads) made give the suggest that they are doing something right.   As for loyalty?  I wouldn't say I am loyal, especially given Darkone's blatant hypocrisy, but I will still use the site to find mods because it is easy. 

 

BTW Justin Bieber's "Baby" has 2.6 billion hits , so half those downloads are probably from Bieber fans....   since we know that @Kendo 2 has downloaded from Nexus at least one....there is a 50/50 chance that he is a bebliever  hmmmmmm...   now that would be  juicy gossip worthy of a  @Darkpig   :)

 

Oh  and I became a fan of his music not because of him, but because of this musical lesson.   That would be a fun class:

Nexus still has mods and the worshipers don't give a shit about anything else

Yeah, sure as hell seems this way. *Do as I say, do not question or you will be banished from this realm!* :P

You're giving Bethesda fans credit for something they're not capable of; critical thinking.

Mostly why I don't 'mingle' over there anymore, lol. Cute bunnies and rainbow farts. :classic_ph34r:

Ghislaine Maxwell (predator Epstein's madam for getting underaged girls) is found guilty and faces 65+ years in prison.  Whaddya wanna bet she 'commits suicide' before she can start naming names and strike a plea deal?

 

 

 

I say she lives. No suicide.

 

There was a movie back in the day called "Manufacturing Consent" based on a true story

 

News is reeling, time to be legitimized. They need us to believe in the news again.. Besides, that bitch aint gonna say anything, she seen what happened to Jeffrey

The two guards who were assigned to Epstein had all charges against them dismissed.  Odd coincidence?

Yeah, Im with you. I just think she makes it. No suicide for Gislaine. A couple nobody's will go down, then we can all go back to sucking that news dick again.

Just an FYI, but Steam doesn't have any rape or even forced/aggressive sex tags for any of their adult games which have said content. Should we ask them to correct this oversite as well? And what do you think will happen to those games when they add such tags? :neutral:

Yes I think Steam should definitely get their head in the game and add those tags. Some people may get unnecessarily triggered by such content when it could be easily tagged in the game's description.

So, putting things in an 'adults only' section isn't enough? Tagging things with 'blood and gore' or 'graphic violence' or 'explicit sexual content' doesn't clue you in that some of the content just might be offensive to you? You don't like using your discretion in life, so you need to be warned about everything that might trigger you? A Utopia is just a fucking dream, Sunshine. And anyone telling you otherwise is lying.

She kept her mouth shut and didn't inform on anyone with any real power. That is reason enough why she will be left with her life.

Disney should fix the Star Wars prequels just sayin.

Disney should fix their Star Wars sequels first rather than court the same kind of ire that George Lucas drew for tampering with previously released materials.

Replacing movies the Star Wars fandom would rather forget is a good move. Fandoms are always complaining about something dumb yet both Disney and George are likely walking to the bank as we speak. Disney's sequels are fine. Fandoms by their nature hate new things which is why they won't admit Disney did a good job continuing Star Wars. Considering the insane amount of inconsistencies of the original, fans are going to nitpick the franchise whether or not Disney does anything. Most people out there are surprised Star Wars got as big as it did but it turns out people like space samurai.

 

Thankfully I'm not a fan I just like Star Wars.

Check again. The Star Wars fandom is a contradiction. Everything I said was right on spot. 10 vocal "fans" on Twitter does not equal a mass audience.

There is not much to admit to. If they do not like the end result, then they did not like the end result. I do not have a strong enough connection to the series to pretend that I enjoy the Disney movies just because they were made using familiar assets. They are the blandest of genre fiction fare that I have seen in decades.

I'd rather see a revival of This Island Earth or Buck Rogers than see anymore Star Wars. It is not as if there is not a world full of content to tap into rather than continue with a series which began as an homage to old sci-fi serials like Flash Gordon.

Thinking of Star Wars again, the biggest disappointments in that franchise was the almost complete lack of exploration of the nature of the artificial intelligence which drives much of the technology in the setting. 

It seems as if not only much of the audience forgot about this aspect of the tech but that the writing staff did as well. Who do they think that R2-D2 and C3-PO were talking to when interfacing devices in the original trilogy? The only reference to the Millennium Falcon's A.I. core was made in the worst possible way in Solo

 

 That in turn made me think of all the other forgetful authors out there across the world and that led to my wondering how many modern authors actually make use of writing tools such as Campfire.

 

For example: Does Eiichiro Oda use it but Akira Toriyama find it to be too much of a hassle, allowing the former to call back events from years ago and to build upon events which seemed like one-off jokes in later arcs while the latter can not even remember major supporting cast members from earlier years to the extent that he phases them out of the work altogether without a hint of recollection until someone brings them to mind in an interview. 

 

One would think that those utilities would brag about the creators who make use of their products in their marketing more frequently in the same way that colleges do with their alumni rolls.

Evidently COVID vaccines are hokum/snake oil and the 'pandemic of the unvaccinated' narrative is falling apart.  76% of the new cases were people who got the jab and 34% of those had multiple jabs.  CNN and MSNBC are admitting the truth but they're still acting like the unvaxed are worse than Nazi war criminals.  I guess reality has its limitations.

Umm..  ok, you did it again.    So is your definition of fandom those 10 vocal "fans" on Twitter, or is fandom the mass audience.   Is the fandom responsible for both criticism of the attempts Disney made and the same fandom that made those movies box office successes?

 

I am, in case you haven't guessed, one of those who finds Disney's management of the Star Wars franchise distasteful, but understandable.    They want Star Wars because it makes money, and to maximize profits, they decided they didn't want to be locked into years of canon.  They reasoned that the loss of those faithful fools who kept the franchise alive those 30 years were worth being dumped, banking on a wider appeal to another generation of fans.  (source: https://www.cbr.com/disney-streamlining-star-wars-continuity-right-choice/ ) The table below bears out that logic.      I think Ms. Kennedy is like many in corporate America, devoted to profits.

 So, in closing, on a website that is populated by people who for the love of the games build/use/contribute voluntarily to this whole work of passion called game mods, you made light of those very kinds of people who, for their passion.   I was there (well almost, we didn't go to Star Wars until it was in the Matinee in late summer of 77) at the beginning, have all the comic books, have almost all the PC games (still play Star Wars Rebellion), loved the story of Maarek Stele. of Keyan Farlander and Kyle Katarn (had an early cruse on Jan Ors).   So, you should have known that you would stir up some push back.

That soundtrack and voice over narration that goes on? No one else can hear that.

> The three of us are fanatic lovers of Matrix trilogy, but the fourth sequel, 'The Matrix resurrections' is totally unwatchable shit, especially the end of the movie. Damn it! Angry Bad Words Sticker by Emoji
