The new body is distinctly inhuman, so it’s also transhumanism.

Or perhaps Homer was colorblind?

It’s a mix. Most of the dungeons related to quests were made by hand, but every everything else was procedurally generated and touched up by hand later, and some of the minor quest dungeons got the latter treatment.

Almost all of Oblivion’s dungeons were procedurally generated with only a handful made by hand, and only some of the procedural dungeons were touched up at all.

Every single dungeon in Morrowind was made by hand since they didn’t have the proc gen tool for that engine built yet.

Daggerfall generated most of the world via fixed seed procedural generation, which allowed them to make the world massive while fitting within 450MB; the world is generated at runtime, but it’s always the same world. A handful of plot locations were hand-made.

Arena used a method similar to the one used for Daggerfall.

Oblivion is enough of a disaster implementation-wise that technically having greater mechanical complexity doesn’t concern me in the slightest. And Oblivion’s writing is, to me, a low point in both the series and Bethesda’s body of work as a whole. Skyrim’s writing isn’t amazing, but the moment-to-moment gameplay being less frustrating gives it the win for me, between the two.

Morrowind is great, though. Probably the best world building I’ve seen in a game.

Doesn’t look like any piece of technology.

It actually does, just not modern technology. It’s a simplified drum memory unit, the predecessor to the hard disk drive.

I don’t care about the fans, but having six face buttons instead of four would be huge for certain things, like emulating certain consoles.

This isn’t even a hypothetical. There are countries, such as Russia, that actually do this.

I tend to look like a hippie that was forced to dress up for church and people definitely just assume I’ll agree with their racist bullshit because I’m white.

always had supervision while playing with girls

That absolutely sounds like she expressed attraction toward another girl when she was little and someone decided they needed to keep an eye on her.

I think that might be the default mode for cats.

To be fair here, the sniping distance record was made with a Barrett M82 multiple times. A Browning M2 also held the record for nearly 20 years.

The Orthodox Church is equally the oldest (extant) denomination as the Catholic Church and they’re not as literal on this topic.

I still think it’s weird that that’s the part Catholics go with literalism on. They usually go with things being metaphors, like the seven day creation story’s bit about ‘let the earth bring forth’ being a reference to evolution, but this thing, specifically, is literal.

I would love if Civilization or Crusader Kings implemented this.

Final Fantasy 9 had you learn skills from equipment.

If you’re only interested in multiplayer then those are solid options. If you like campaign then you should definitely check out 2, ODST, and Reach.

They’re pissed about sportsball because sportsballers started protesting while still respecting the flag by kneeling and now they refuse to watch sportsball.

And I’m hoping for them to be flatpacks so they still run five years later. I’ve had to resort to running Windows builds via Proton for games that have native Linux builds because they don’t work anymore.

And x-axis, just to be thorough. Especially for third person games since they still can’t all agree on what the default should be.

Relatedly, I’ve noticed ports of console games, particularly by Japanese devs, and especially Sqeenix, not actually having an option to quit to desktop. Sometimes hitting Esc will pop a plain system theme window with an option to close the program, but I’ve seen ones that didn’t even have that and had to be killed externally. It’s not as bad as it used to be, but even exiting DragonQuest 11 is a pain.
