When I decided to build a new system in 2023, I couldn't make heads or tails of 4 vs 5. Yeah, sure, it's faster... but no one could really say what that meant in practical terms. I think techpowerup had one rudimentary benchmark for RAM but it was inconsequential.

So I just went with what was cheaper. I also dodged a bullet by getting the slightly cheaper 12700k instead of the newer and allegedly just as fast 13600kf...

What a cutie! Red heeler?

Gotta be more specific. What about Skyrim are you seeking elsewhere?

It encourages people who find these bugs to use them rather than report them.

I mean if it's just a fender bender, who cares? Bumpers are meant to bend. Do you think it was hit hard enough to cause actual structural damage?

OoT3D isn't a reskin, it's a remake. A lot of stuff changed under the hood, which is one reason most OoT speedruns stick to N64.

Don't need TP remake. Dusk is already out and Courage Reborn is supposed to be arriving soonish.

Pass. Ship of Harkinian already exists and other than some of the QoL features like assigning d-pad to item shortcuts like ocarina, boots, etc (which Ship and the randomizer both offer), OoT is one of those retro games that really doesn't need changes or, IMO, even significantly benefit from them. You can't improve on perfection.

But if people want to spend $80 for a 30 year old game to justify buying the $650 console, more power to em.

I'd rather Nintendo just pull a Konami and bundle related old games in a prepackaged emulator and sell that instead.

The whip feels really weak to me. Being limited to attacking in 4 directions while enemies can approach from 8 is really limiting and the upgrade to deal more damage on a tip-hit was depressingly minor. I think I should have just put the 2000 bones towards another base attack upgrade.

Skill issue, I'm sure, but the hammer seems to be by far the strongest and overall best weapon.

Don't do this! I don't wanna die!!!

Silence, dog. You have no purpose but to die by my hand.

David Warner's performance turned an edgelord line like that into a dispassionate badass. BG2 just won't be the same without him.

It's weird to think this isn't the majority opinion. If I had to make a "best games of this decade" list, I think maybe Shadowbringers would be the only AAA project on that list.

Games made by small teams with small budgets, like Shovel Knight or Blasphemous or Stardew, are what'd be crowding the top.
