my favorite part of the The Legend of Khiimori demo was when I got off my horse to talk to someone and he TROTTED AWAY and the game didn't tell me I could whistle for him so I desperately chased him on foot through a mud pit while screaming WAIT COME BACK!!! (i'm not mad, it was very funny)

I will say that the controls are WEIRD for this game, but this is not a criticism because this is also not like any game I've ever played so it's fine. I just wish that when the game said "press [key] to move" they also said "press [key] to stop" because I was HOLLERIN! HOW DO I STOP THIS HORSE!!! 🐎

You should probably know that I've driven the Mako straight into a thresher maw's mouth. Not my decision, but I make the most of it.

Really pretty game, though. I'm finding the tutorials very frustrating because they're only giving me half the information I need to understand what to do, but I think this game has a lot of potential. I might give it a play when it releases 👀

see now this is why localization is important

ESO is, as always, a perfectly functional video game.

A screenshot of ESO's zone chat. A player says: Do dolmens still despawn like they did yesterday? Oh sweet! They do.

jack @vesaldi.bsky.social · 1d

This would have all been a nonissue if they hadn't acted like this event was something brand new and amazingly innovative. It's definitely not. It's busywork dailies at best, and frustrating at worse (fuck dem bears, tbh).

jack @vesaldi.bsky.social · 1d

But yeah, I'm not really having intense amounts of fun with this event. I am not sure what this could have looked like it make it more engaging or more interesting or more unique, but I know it could have looked like more than this. You're selling me a war and then giving me a desk job.

jack @vesaldi.bsky.social · 1d

I'm not particularly surprised by this, and I'm not rabid or anything. I'm just a little disappointed they sold this as something game-changing and it's genuinely just a new coat of paint on the same content we've always had. Maybe Phase 2 will impress, idk man.

jack @vesaldi.bsky.social · 1d

Of course every dolmen I go to looks like a nuke being repeatedly set off so maybe they're more interesting than I think because I can't actually SEE them, but... hm.

jack @vesaldi.bsky.social · 1d

These dolmens unfortunately aren't even very exciting. It's just a bunch of mob spawns. Which to be fair is what they all are. But yeah, it's what they ALL are.

jack @vesaldi.bsky.social · 1d

So the Writhing Wall event in ESO really is just dolmens, a dozen annoying dailies, and a bunch of reward coffers full of crap, huh?

if your whole social media brand is "justice for women" or whatever and you make a big deal of including transfems (so generous!) don't think for a fucking second that means we'll fall for your "but some trans people are evil and dangerous" anti-solidarity bullshit you fucking wrecker piece of shit

Here’s the thing trans men are men. & trans women are women.

However let’s be clear, women are invited to my spaces, but ALL men are not. It’s all men. When you align yourself with predators you don’t get to ride some line like but “hey I’m also one of you.”

It’s ALL men. You chose that side.
