There are a lot of people in this thread bringing up games they couldn't beat because of their build and while some of them I don't know anything about others are talking about games like Morrowind. Like you can beat down basically anything you can see with your fists from the start of the game
No, I 100% agree that computer RPGs these days have too much handholding. I, too, yearn for the days of being able to spend hours crafting my perfect build from hundreds of available options, only to discover that it mathematically cannot survive the mandatory rat fight portion of the first dungeon.

This thread but also some of youse are far too prissy about encountering literally any fail state.

Just to be clear about something in this story, I've seen several people interpret this as the court being told Sally Rooney's books may be pulled by the government. What the story says is that Sally Rooney has said that she might stop distributing her books in the UK. www.rte.ie/news/2025/11...
Sally Rooney books may be pulled from UK, court told
Normal People author Sally Rooney's books may have to be withdrawn from sale and none of her new works published in the UK due to "uncertainty" caused by the ban on Palestine Action, the British High ...

what i love is that in 1990 judas priest got brought to trial over the claim that subliminal messages in the recording "better by you better than me" caused two suicides and now in 2025 openai seems to be generating a suicide a week with its superliminal messages and the US government is funding it

A real sign of the times is that I used to watch Heroes in parts on YouTube in computer labs around uni (this is also mostly how I watched Avatar)
Season 1 of Heroes was a serious event, I didn't realise it had been memory-holed so badly
The erasure of the Heroes fandom thanks to the later seasons is so bad I saw a clickbait youtube title calling it a series "you've never seen".

Look, the show was MASSIVE (for a few months), everyone saw it and then collectively forgot it.

Reinstate Goran NOW. Literally the only thing he's ever used his platform for is posting cool art and fundraising for people trying to survive a genocide.
Bluesky suspended Goran Gligovic, the guy that makes nice art. Jesus fucking Christ Bluesky

Learned the hard way that zombies in the Resident Evil remake can and will reanimate as Crimson Heads before you do the mini boss fight with the one in the coffin in the crypt and it turns out that game *can* still scare the shit out of me

Now that she's unfortunately no longer with us I think I can say that Sinead O'Connor told me that he'd always been a homophobe and that he spent the money he got out of RTE on his house in West Cork
Oh well I'm sure it'll go as well as his last election campaign

I think all games should have a mod that adds the cliffracers from Morrowind.

"It is against the TOS to be talked into suicide by our LLM" is possibly the most evil tech bro thing I've ever read
Additionally, OpenAI argues its not liable because Raine, by using ChatGPT for self-harm, broke its terms of service

And while we're on the subject, any skinny bitch getting pissy about how about fat people view their bodies - good and bad - can take several seats and shut the fuck up.

Still mad at having some skinny bitch try to shame my own fucking feelings about my own fucking body.
I’m just not interested in what anyone who is naturally/has always been skinny has to say about weight loss. Why do we keep asking these people how they feel about GLP-1 drugs? If you’ve never been fat, never lost a lot of weight, never struggled with these things your thoughts are irrelevant.

I made a mod that replaces cliffracers with Thomas the Tank Engine. I am incapable of learning lessons whenever it involves corporations, because I fundamentally do not view toy company CEOs or media CEOs as people.

The fact that we are rewriting the English language because algorithms decided words like “rape” and “suicide” are too naughty to show is proof that the computer is the devil
