The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is a 2025 action role-playing game co-developed by Virtuos and Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks.
…
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered was co-developed by Virtuos’ Paris studio and Bethesda Game Studios. Both studios began development of the remaster in 2021.
No, u.
.crom
Crom.crom
… It offers nothing.
Also .slash, because chaos must reign.
Ohh!
How about .— for all the LLMs to create their own deepweb on?
We can just call the realworld version of the Blackwall the EmWall, fittingly more stupid and annoyingly named than anything in actual cyberpunk, as seems to be the writing style for our timeline.
Its truly amazing that I’ve seen basically this as a representative comment left on every single Bethesda game in the last 20 years.
… They just suck at writing code.
Its that simple, they’re terrible programmers.
Like yeah, they were due some leeway back in the old wild west days, back when they were basically a startup.
… Its 20 fucking years later, and everything is roughly the same amount of broken, despite them having more money than some small countries.
Its just a money laundering operation at this point.
Wow its like when it came out and I said that Bethesda was just trying to do a shitty cash grab version of Skyblivion, and all the corpo simps told me that this was awesome actually… oh well wow, how surprising, they were wrong.
Support your friendly local mod team, they’re likely just actually better at making Bethesda games than Bethesda is.
So uh, bisexual with a black belt here:
I could last longer than one minute, in either the bedroom or the boxing ring, with either of them.
10 minutes in the ring with with Tyson?
I am almost certainly unconscious with multiple fractures.
10 minutes in the bedroom with Tyson?
… probably the same thing.
10 minutes in the ring with Rhoades?
I’m laughing and she’s whimpering, breathing heavy.
10 minutes in the bedroom with Rhoades?
… probably the same thing.
… ~220 lbs of Mike Tyson vs ~120lbs of Lana Rhoades?
Oh I’m not implying, I’m directly stating it.
If you cannot go 24 hrs, 48 hrs, a week, without using a phone for anything other than making actual phone calls on it, you have a problem and need, at bare minimum, a hobby.
I’d suggest reading whole books.
There is so much literature on how massive (especially shortform) social media use destroys your ability to concentrate, lessens your attention span, causes addiction, and is intentionally designed to cause addiction.
Its literally come out in court, fairly recently.
If you can’t hit pause on this on your own, yeah, you need help.
At this point, I don’t know where that help is going to or should come from, but I know an addict when I see one.
Because I am one.
I’m addicted to nictoine, I start getting real pissy around the 24 hr cold turkey mark.
I certainly would count myself amongst those who would need actual help to actually quit.
Difference here being, my nicotine habit isn’t and wasn’t tolerated or accepted in public school, I did that shit to myself, a decade afterward, as a legally/socially self responsible adult.
I mean, the scene with Bardok… like… the amount of curvature of the planet you can see behind them…
Nah, they’re in the equivalent of roughly MEO, like GPS Satellite altitude.
Assuming gravity is still the same basic thing, no, no they are not in any kind of substantial atmosphere, unless we’re going with ‘Saiyans can breathe trace amounts of hydrogen or helium’.
I do not know how it is portrayed in the manga vs the anime.
I think its just rule of cool in this scene, but yeah its kinda… nonsense.
Unless there is some kind of… sci-fi bio modifaction of … many? of Freiza’s soldiers going on, that somehow enables them to … not need to breathe, amongst other extraodinary capabilities for beings that seemingly originally developed on some kind of planet, with some kind of atmosphere.

Apparenty the scene isn’t actually depicted in the manga, and most of these peeps are going with ‘well there is still technically some atmosphere’ to which I would say No, not without rewriting the laws of physics.
On Earth, you have 1 atm of pressure at sea level, 10^-7 atm of pressure at 100km altitude.
MEO is like 2000 to 35000km altitude.
Its well into ‘hard vacuum’, where we can’t really even meaningfully measure ‘atmospheric pressure’.
I assumed the joke was mercury poisoning.
Seafood tends to be higher in mercury than many other kinds of food, its the most common way that people get mercury poisoning these days.
And… degredation of motor coordination, speech ability… just basicslly all of your neurology in general… are things that mercury poisoning can do.
… It recognized itself as a security threat.
Well… I mean … technically its not wrong…
Uh wait uh Mr Jacket Clown Man, wasn’t this kind of your plan?
You… you’re on the advisory panel.
For AI policy.
… ?
In the future, memory will cost nothing because we will just assume no human beings have any.
Wow I hate you and I hate this.
… A+++ shitpost.
I mean like I have a local LLM and essentially I use it as a coding assistant, but more accurately I’m doing a study of what kinds of errors these things produce more frequently and in which cases.
Its essentially a hobby that sates my curioisty and occasionally produces semi complex, working code.
… This is apparently, to MSFT, not only production ready, but ‘meta-production ready’.
Oh well, it certainly is funny.
Well that’s surprisingly straightforward.
Sam Seder can out comedian him by literally just describing a thing Breuer decided to do.
I have seen a video from him that actually caused me to laugh out loud, so yes, he’s pretty good aka amazingly better than most of what somehow gets categorized as ‘comedy’ these days.
I almost want to say Elephant Graveyard, but… he’s arguably more of like an anti-comedian, but… I have such a dark sense of humor at this point that… yeah he might as well just be an actual comedian, making jokes about how horrifying the broad state of comedy is.
… But he doesn’t like do stand up or w/e so idfk.
I mean I’ve felt this way for the last 10 or 15 years.
Oh, well, most adults being paid to pefrom their role, their tasks and duties, at a job, most of them are essentially de facto capable of role modelling proper phone usage, otherwise they’d be fired.
You just don’t use it while you’re actively working, you know, actively engaged in the act of teaching a lesson, overseeing a lab day, etc.
If a teacher was constantly on their phone, while they’re supposed to be teaching, they’d get reported and reprimanded and eventually fired.
This isn’t disingenuous, to hold this assumption… this is how things have worked for a long time.
Yeah, yeah a construction or transport crew should also have restrictions on distracted driving or otherwise operating a multi ton vehicle, yes, same as a forklift operator.
They should be fired if they egregiously violate safety protocols.
Systems exist and have existed to do this.
The problem that is going on in schools is that a combination of over-exhausted and underpaid teachers, combined with incompetent/corrupt admins have just looked the other way on this for so long that its become a problem not only in schools, but also all the places those kids who went to those schools go after they’ve graduated.
The solution is not to equivocate, the solution is having higher standards.
And just to be clear: addictive behaviors and patterns start in adolescence, and then progress and worsen and broaden when they are not identified and addressed.
This is … very widely the consensus of all kinds of studies into all kinds of addiction.
So having teachers model proper usage of the useful but potentially very addictive device… is arguably the most important area of society to do this with.
If you want a society that isn’t constantly distracted by their rectangles… you should exemplify to them how to properly use the rectangles from a young age.
But also:
The longer the Hormuz conflict goes on, the more oil and gas prices go up. The more shipping costs go up.
The more everything costs go up, if ‘everything’ is classed as ‘basically anything you might regularly purchase’.
So… they’re now in quite a bind, because their possible purchasers, their target demo, are actively and rapidly becoming poorer, as time goes on.
I mean, that is a much better solution than ‘yep, I have a headache again’.
