Cyberpunk is a great game, it has a great story that is marvelous told. That is the games biggest strength and one of its biggest limitations too. Heavy story driven games like cyberpunk don’t mix very good with a open world with its many detractions and side quests. If a game has a strong story that will capture the player, making side quests and open world design a burden, or into something that gets ignored.

Logically viewed everything that V would do after having Jonny implanted in his/her brain should be laser focused on the task to learn more about it and to find a cure or solution. There should be no driving around and playing mommy or daddy for some freaked out cabs or other side quests. Yes, doing side quests could be explained as a way to get resources for the main tasks, but as those side quests are completely optional there is nothing really backing that explanation up.

So you either have to ignore a life threatening condition to play side quests or ignore that huge part of the game and fixate on the main quest.

Cyberpunk has no real “sandbox” moment because the open world really only opens up after you get the world largest cyber brain virus implanted deeply.

There is so much to do and to see in the game, I have so many hours in and still find new stuff that I had not seen before.

25h is barely the main quest and there is so much else to see and do then the main quest. Faction quests, side quests, radiant quests, base building, ship building, new game plus, DLC, mods.

Starfield is packed full with stuff to discover, people just have to be open for the game. Yes it has lots of flaws, the awful temple puzzle was the first thing that I changed with mods, and yes the loading screens are not great. I can forgive the game it’s flaws, maybe because I never over hyped it as so much other did.

I am playing Bethesda games for over 20 years now, since Morrowind, and I have a very good idea what to expect from a Bethesda game and where the strength and limitations of the engine are. Due to this I never expected to be able to do atmospheric flights or to travel over huge parts of the planet in one go, or to have huge interplanetary or interstellar areas. The engine is not made for that kind of things, not at all, so I never expected the game to have those features and so my expectations for the game were very similar to the delivered product.

I still play Starfield, I really like the game but have it modded a lot now.

Never had any fun with No man’s sky, for me the story is boring and the rest of the game can’t hook me. In my eyes Starfield is a way better game, but I can see and understand why other think different about this.

In descending order: Skyrim Fallout 4 Starfield

Morrowind is a game that has extreme hours too, but not sure if it is 1000+ (yet).

My comment was more in general for all of society, not only political parties.

But yes, for political parties that would be great!

Yes, it gets problematic as soon as extreme positions and mentalities enter the equation. All extrem positions are toxic, extreme left, extreme right, extreme religious (any religion), extreme fans of a sports club, extreme anything doesn’t matter.

If we could find some kind of balance, some true middle ground without huge extremes, then the world would be a much nicer place.

My socializing during the pandemic was more or less the same as before or after the pandemic. I am very sensitive to sound, a introvert, a huge nerd and don’t care for most of the topics “normal” people talk about like sport. I have no reason to go outside, I don’t like to be at places with many people and I don’t any knowledge in topic that can be used for smalltalk.

Due to this the biggest part of my social bubble is located all over the world and we communicate purely online. It was called lockdown but for me it was just a normal Tuesday.

There exist a few but I personally had the best results with Dune Legacy: https://sourceforge.net/projects/dunelegacy/

There are open source engine rebuilds for Dune 2 that offer lots of QoL/UX refinements so it is really great to play but at the same time those changes make the game way to easy.

Dune 2 was designed and balanced with the limitations in mind and removing them utterly breaks the difficulty.

LLM doesn’t understand any language at all, understanding needs a thought process and sentients.

LLM just do math and pattern recognition, only dumb mindless statistics.

Oh I see where this misunderstanding comes from. I am not IninewCrow, I just thing the general concept of this idea is interesting and gave it my own spin.

So he/she said the thing with the time, I said everything in the posts below it :D

Thanks, that’s so sweet 😊

Oh no, I never said that they are only separable by time but that one is the predecessor or root of the other and that religions can spawn new cults of their own.

It can’t only be time that transforms the one into the other, because otherwise we would have 100th of religions right now from all the sects and cults that have existed in the past.

Not if “believe” from the followers is some kind of cosmic energy that powers the gods or defines their hierarchy, a pandimensional twitter subscription counter of sorts. In that case the last thing you want is to prove your existence as a god, because as soon as your existence is proven all believe will pop out of existence and will be replaced with knowledge of the existence.

Believe is only possible when the thing to believe in is vague and unknowable, you can’t by definition ever believe in the existence of anything that you are sure of.

At least both Christianity and Islamic religions started as cults and became religions. Christianity was even a sect of people believing in the coming of the end times, that’s what the revelation in the new testament is for.

A sect or a cult is always the root of any new religion and often new sects or cults are the offspring of an older religion. Religion, cults and sects are as concepts interconnected.

I had both but the teen drama sounding parts were less then the general but I have not yet played much further so not sure how it gets later on the game.

In this day and age you don’t need to own the game to be a able to experience the story and graphics and nearly everything else perfectly legal. Thousands of people are playing it on Twitch and YouTube and other streaming platforms.

It is a good game, from the four ratings I would align myself with the 77% from Steam.

My biggest critic so far, 12h in, would be that the language they use and the way they speak is way to modern for a fantasy game for my liking. It often makes it a bit hard to immerse into the game for me when they use 21th century words or concepts or mannerisms.

And I use my filter bubble power just now and here I think. Have a nice rest of your life

Oh the app completely doesn’t load on a unlocked bootloader, this is on a locked bootloader system where I just activated Developer Mode to show the message of the app. I know that I can deactivate it again 😜

Unfortunately I don’t have a system with unlocked bootloader right now to show the message that comes up then.

Unfortunately I have to use the app to be a able to take card payments for my business.
