i-is it time, guys?

New Vegas Definitive Edition with bug fixes
Wouldn't the game need a completely different engine to e truly fixed?
They'd be using Fallout 4's engine.
That wouldn't solve anything since both games use the same engine.

i hope part of the reason it's taking so long for them to even hint at the fact they're making a TES6 is because they're going to be using a new and better engine for it.
They usually take a bit to announce it anyway, right?

every 3-4 years. we're coming up on year 5s E3 though here and there hasn't even been a hint that they're even working on it

in the case of skyrim i believe they announced it a little over a year before it actually came out
Yeah, Fallout 3 came out in 2008 and they announced Skyrim in 2010. I think they might take the Fallout 4 approach with the new Elder Scrolls and announce/show it when it's very close to coming out. As for this year, I really REALLY hope we get that new Fallout announcement. Idk.

A bit early isn't it?

Another Fallout so soon released would just kill my interest in the series, even moreso if it was a hunk of crap/the majority of the entertainment relied on Sims: Wasteland Edition.

I think it speaks more to how upset people are with the political system that they're willing to watch it all burn down than attempt to fix it. And can you blame them? After decades of nonstop proof of how convoluted and awful its gotten, why would anyone want to tread through waist-high shit in order to try and fix it with the possibility of either getting nothing accomplished or becoming part of the problem themselves?

A few years ago, I would have agreed. But now? The US really seems to be heading towards a post-truth society. Tens of millions of people voted for Trump despite how clear it was that he's a disaster and disgrace to his country. Through my girlfriend's family and friends, I now see Facebook posts from actual and real people (not trolls) who believe this kind of crap. People who legitimately ignore demonstrable facts and parrot the dumbest and most unfounded stuff.

I want nothing more than to believe that PSU and people like him are just trolling. It would be a great sort of coping mechanism to think these people are just messing with us and are not so stupid, ignorant and biased that it's downright baffling. But there's actually people out there like that. And that's worrying.


So basically this. Burning everything to the ground isn't the correct answer, nor is pumping out this stupid thing where facts are suddenly becoming opinions if you don't agree with them.

And I know it's brought up countless times, so forgive me for making the leap, but I find it funny how we're allowing traces of fascism to crop up in a nation that can't stroke its cock enough for defeating the Nazi's.
Hey, maybe that's the plot of The Man in the High Castle.

It's not alternate reality, it's alternate fact!

Why the fuck not?

It adds impact to a sentence depending on the tone. E.g. "The weather isn't nice today" compared to "The weather is shit today". Out of those sentences, which weather sounds worse?

On a serious note

It's just dawned on me, I smell weed every once and a while in my street when I opened my window, now everyone here is over 50, apart from myself, my friend and my neighbors who are straight edge.


So why do I smell weed, I think the old people across the field are sparking one up

50 years ago you had the swinging 60's with a motto of "If you remember it, you're lying" what with all the drugs being flung around the place.

Anyone who's 70 today was 20 in '67, and so you've got geriatric stoners and dregs still wearing Vietnam vet combats.

I don't understand what you guys see in Verbatim. He's just an asshole that pretends to know what he's talking about.

I don't see anything in him.

I just see a flaw in how moderation was practiced and he shouldn't be banned for it. Doesn't matter who it was, the ban was bullshit and I don't want others that I actually enjoy their presence to be banned under similar circumstances.


3 months for that is excessive. I mean I understand he has been a fire demon recently, but he really hates Trump, and now he is his president regardless of his awesome avatar and "not my president" custom title. I appreciate the memes man.
It's not just Trump, although that is a big part. Sometime's people have irl issues that translate into their attitudes. Everybody comes down on hard times, but that doesn't excuse anything. Verb did need to have a cooldown period, but two months (reduced to 1) is still too long without a sufficient ban/warn history to support it.

What? The guy was perma'd a while back. How's that for a sufficient ban history?
Bans are typically handled with increasing lengths with continued rule breaking. First warnings, then a lite ban, then a day or three, then a week, etc. Accord to Psy, this past year he had one ban and a couple of warnings that would have added up to two days. Even taking the specific instance that resulted in the ban, anything more than two weeks is excessive.

Two weeks isn't enough if you're being that much of a prick, sorry.

Then it's a failure in consistent moderation and rules then.

There isn't a rule about being a prick, and even then he wasn't warned or banned previously for being a prick.

Fuck, even Kinder didn't get a final permaban for being a prick despite being one, he ended up doxing for his ban iirc.

Christ, how long is this gonna keep going? Just keep him banned and end the poll.

And then the next time you have a meltdown, it can be banned for several months because you've done it several times before without punishment (and self-imposing it doesn't count).

Should we run a poll then for your release for a completely OTT ban, or be indifferent until it happens again to someone else?

956
Not sure about the context itself, but "alternative facts" sounds retarded.

There's facts, there's fiction. The only way to change perspectives on them is by framing them differently, e.g.
"Only 45% of this cup is full" compared to "Just over half the cup is empty".

So either whatever he's saying is a fact, a lie, or just an opinion being pushed as a fact.

Just because I piss off LC or any of the moderators a bit too much once doesn't warrant all my previous posts being scrutinised for being unruly and then being punished for all of them at once.

Shitty, aggressive, ban worthy posts don't lose their shitty aggressive ban worthiness over time. If it was just LC he pissed off, sure, one day would have been an acceptable timeout, but he's pissed off virtually everybody here at some point. Dickery should be a bannable offense, and consistent dickery warrants a longer ban.
If we ban dickery, the entire of the bloody site is gone.

There's a distinction between being a jokey kind of asshole and just being an asshole.

And yet as shown, no warnings were given for it to justify the cumulative punishment.

Either Verb was his regular self and there was a failure in consistent moderation for banning assholery, or verb got cumulatively punished for a rule that doesn't exist and is broad and based on the mod on duty, being emotional when they should be objective.

Ignore the fact Verb's involved entirely, and the problem is far reaching and effects everyone who feels like being a tad too sarcastic one day.

He could very well have been informally warned for previous times and we just don't know about it. It's not are place to know about Verb's private interactions with the Mod team.

This whole thread is now a moot point though, from what I see on Verb's title, it appears to look as if he's not banned anymore.

A fair point, but it could either way. Neither of us know honestly. And I disagree with it being a moot point. Regardless of Verb's unbanning, I'm not focusing on the individual here. This shit could happen again and to any of us, albeit only a few are likely to feel it. Doesn't make it any less fair than beforehand if we just accept the status-quo that any of us can get retro-actively receive a combo-punishment.

LC has stated several times that his ban length was from more than just his shitty comment.

but 2 months is out of wack for a weightless threat, a shitty joke even.

Either ban him every tine he's a shit for 1-2 days or don't bother, not wait until he's hit some arbitrary monthly shit-quota and slapping a cumulative time ban on him.
hence "quota" and "cumulative"

^^

I see it as a general rule, 'you can't call it out a foul if no-one's noticed and play has carried on'.

Unless there's been previous warnings about his behaviour to cut that shit out, you can't just say at a random point "right that's it" and ban him for all the other times, otherwise it's setting a precedence for the rest of us so that we can be retroactively banned for shit we did that at the time wasn't called out.

Just because I piss off LC or any of the moderators a bit too much once doesn't warrant all my previous posts being scrutinised for being unruly and then being punished for all of them at once.

Ban/warn for every occurrence then and there, keep the punishments separate (but with previous warnings/bans in mind), or don't ban at all.

I swear we as a group have had this talk before, it's about fucking consistency in moderation.
