Why did they port Skyrim to the switch but not New Vegas.

If it's like Divinity: Original Sin 2 then it'll have a completely different UI when playing with a controller. Not as good as mouse and keyboard but not too shabby either.

i recently replayed a bit of dos2 on ps5 and those inventory screens are horrible because you're just going around collecting tendons and feathers all god damned day and then you have to spend 20 minutes sifting through your big bags of trash and upgrading equipment for every 30 minutes of gameplay. ugh. maybe bg3 will have mouse/keyboard support for consoles. but that might also just be a problem of too many items

The solution for every RPG with a million items is to just ignore them. Pick up the big sword and glowing orb, but do not open the crates, barrels, bookshelves, etc.

the meltdowns over the ai voice moderation in battlebit have been pretty good and that game sold like 2 million copies, gonna be great to see the response when it's added to a game that sells 10x that amount

if you can make an ai that detects specific speech you can make an ai that obfuscates it by making your voice sound like peter Frampton w/ modulated formants and comb filters and shaped signal noise

we're probably entering an era where people really do not want to have HQ recorded audio of their own voices publicly available or accessible to any government or commercial entities
they've already got more than enough sample data from everyone tho; phone mics, laptop mic, car mics, walking by an alexa while talking to someone ( 9 microphones on each one last i checked lol, it can recognize the difference between your voice and a recording of your voice, its capable of triangulating where speech is originating from, etc. idk if it utilizes that functionality but it's capable of it and i don't see why it'd have a mic array that thick if it wasn't intended to use it, u dont need full 3d audio recordings to set an alarm or whatever)

passive microphones like the kind in your phone are technically always on, they can be amplified but don't have to be, they don't need any power, your voice exciting the membrane and moving the dynamo generates the current & that's the audio signal. the only difference is if the software is listening to/processing/recording that input or ignoring it

like the dark knight sonic mapping deus ex machina thingy irl is actually not that far off at all, and that is pretty terrifying, but don't think about it bc nothing you can do lol

Even first playthrough can be pretty chill if you've embraced correct thought and gave up all earthly attachments to runes, which come and go no matter your deeds. No durability, no runbacks, just settle into a groove until you win, unless it's Malenia

If you're losing a Fromsoft game it's a battle with yourself you're losing. I have legit hosed up hands due to neurological problems and finished all of them without issue. Fight games or anything requiring twitch reflex? Can't do it, my hands can't keep up and just get too many problems. Dark Souls? Easy, the battle is all in my head.

That's definitely a solid one, I didn't vibe with the quasi strategy mode in 2 but it was probably a lot more attainable by the devs than a full blown mode

Everyone used the fast travel console commands when Morrowind was the newest ES game. You're lying if you say you didn't. The whole point of PC gaming at that time was getting to use things like console commands and mods.

I never did. I don't think I ever used them until I replayed the game several years later because I got stuck in a glitched out door somewhere.

Elden ring is a lie because you can use shields, and are encouraged to do so

this is an overt contradiction from earlier games where the shield is a trap

Elden Ring would have been fully chill if you could pause. Still don't get the pause thing

Other than that, most of the time I spent playing it was much less stressful than when I played, say, Pizza Tower (I liked Pizza Tower)
