  • Not a sweet spot.

    Morrowind was amazing because it is a hand built world. Oblivion had the same core error as Starfield: an overreliance on procedural generation.

    For Skyrim they did it right. Just the right amount of procedural generation with enough manual work that things worked out.

    You can’t overlook the modding scene either. Oblivion had a great mod community with a lot of people getting into it and cutting their teeth there. So when Skyrim came out they were experts and made a lot of amazing mods, particularly framework mods.

    But almost all of them are done and gone or corrupted into paid mods(e.g. Elianora, Kinggath(FO4)). So Starfield will never get a good modding scene because the core modding community doesn’t exist now.

















  • Nah, Harper and his Reform party spend two decades worming their way into Canadian politics by at first showing their hand in the late 1980s and early 1990s, then learning to hide it and play it slowly. Any time any of their cult played their hand in the 2000s it was always an “outburst” or “temporary error in judgement”.

    They then conned the existing sane conservative party into “merging” with their their smaller party, and through cheating the internal politics of the combined party and pandering to the GOP, got the funds to crush the sane conservatives at the federal level.

    It has nothing to do with social programs. Has everything to do with a decades long plan to push politics rightward into accepting extremism.


  • Not just late stage capitalism(which is really just a return to oligarchies)

    You want to know how this is all being pushed: look into the “International Democrat Union”

    It’s led by the christian-fascist and former Canadian prime Minister Stephen Harper. He’s giving them the aid and policy directives they’re using to trick people into voting for them.

    It’s why Pierre Polievre, current leader of the federal opposition in Canada, wants to talk about anything other than India’s assault on Canadian sovereignty. Because Modi, him and Harper are really tightly knit.



  • In my experience of using the traffic inspection tool fiddler: for https sites you have to have it add its own self signed cert to be able to see traffic.

    Firefox, out of the box, detects it immediately and warns you of a security issue, not letting you do anything.

    Chrome, and chromium based browsers,
    don’t even notice it and happily let you do what needs to be done.

    I’ve had the experience of a few sites not working recently in Firefox, one of them explicitly stated an ad server was blocked because of xss settings and refused to load. Chrome didn’t care.
