This sounds pretty amazing and something I see being a wave of the future of gaming. A volunteer based modding community TESRenewal is working on a major project called Skyblivion that will add the entirety of the game ES Oblivion, map and quests, into the Skyrim and Skyrim SE versions. They say it won't be released for a couple of years, maybe 2025 and looks to be for PC only. This is something very unique and I think it may spur more communities to get involved with mods of older games to integrate into newer sequels. Wow!!!! They are also looking for volunteers who have development skills. I'm sure this is very exciting for fans of the series. https://skyblivion.com

Check this out! It is an expansion of Neverwinter called Menzoberranzan which is the under dark drow city made famous by R.A. Salvatore! Came out March 28 2023. I wish I could play this, but I don't play MMO. This is exciting though! For me it is a dream to see this expansion after reading those books of Legend of Drizzt. All I can say is WOW. This needs to be a whole game by itself. How I wish!!!!!!!!! Think I'll get this game just for this expansion and try it out. It even has Drizzt in it! One of the most amazing characters in all of D&D universe. I highly recommend you read the first book in the Dark Elf Trilogy called "Homeland." There is also a graphic novel called "Homeland" by Devil's Due Publishing telling the exact story by Salvatore but instead with pictures and less to read if you like that instead. I have both the entire book series and the graphic novels. That first book Homeland was amazing.

No - it's not an anime series/movie unfortunately. However, it looks pretty good.

That's a good step in the right direction but Konami has to do way more to redeem themselves such as actually start making quality games again and stop focusing on those gambling machines they've been making recently.

If I remember correctly, it was one their former E3 team members that founded Summer Game Fest. Ubisoft has been rumored to be present at Summer Game Fest.

There is a chance they may look at video games the same way as literature, music and artwork as expressions of our culture (And I'd say they should), but because video games are an expression of our technology as much as anything else, I do see it being more likely they'll see it the way @killamch89 described. If this alien civilisation was advanced enough to have the technology to reach us, odds are they would see video games as jejune and puerile.

Who knows? Maybe they have their own version of videogames that is way more advanced than what we currently use. They'd probably laugh at us for using "primitive technology" if anything.

It has been "replaced" by Summer Game Fest.

Yes, I do 🙂 . Not as much as I like Civilization V, but I do have some 600 hours on it, which I wouldn't have if I didn't like the game! Anyway, the last thing I played was Civ VI yet again... I'm now at war with Sweden and Nubia, and I've captured a Nubian city. I'm having a hard time capturing any more, but I won't give up just yet!

That's exactly right and it's funny you mention that because Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout is now encouraging Trump to seek refuge in Russia. Look at the dictators fall apart. Florida is protecting Bolsonaro from being prosecuted in Brazil. Russia wants to protect Trump from prosecution. And because Putin is a war criminal with an arrest warrant, surrounded by potential assassinators, watch him flee Russia to seek refuge in a camel's ass in Iran or something. They need to kill themselves the way hitler did. Bolsonaro is a bitch. He would rather suck a horse's dick than off himself. Trump is way too narcissistic to kill himself. His chicken shit ass will definitely run away and leave his orange stink all over the deserts of Saudi Arabia, hauling a bag of money like the greedy old fuck he is. Justice is coming after all them shit stained nazis.

After seeing this, they're running on fumes.

Cuphead is a BITCH. I've been playing and replaying it, and have never even made it past the first stage. It's a great game, and I absolutely love the graphics, but DAMN IT'S HARD. Just to note, the reason I love the graphics so much is because they're the style of the cartoons I watched as a kid. Those were the REAL cartoons. Not this Teen Titans and Spongebob bullshit.

I think the one game that made me rage quit the most was Cuphead. I have played many games over the years that have been frustrating and have made me rage a little but Cuphead definitely took the top spot. In fact, since the last time I played Cuphead and rage quit I have not been back on it since.

As much as I have really enjoyed video games and I have been known in the past to spend hours on games such as Fortnite and also Destiny 2, I wouldn't say that I have ever become so addicted to these games that coming away from them was a huge problem and affected my social life or even my life in general. I feel as long as you understand and know that you need to take a break and you are able to get up and do that without any issues, you should be fine.

The impact Covid had went a couple ways from what I saw. The chip shortage plus the virus itself made a sever drag in the release of the newest systems, which in turn had a spike in scalping. On the other hand, people who were quarantined and had to stay home all day were buying games left and right through DDL's. From the reports I read, there was a MASSIVE increase in digital video game sales. The shareholders in these games were dancing like idiots due to the record sales. Some games truly were record sales the franchise had never before seen. So on their end, the profits were obscene. On our end, some of us were fairly limited as to what games we held interest in.

I can see it's a great game, but as a trans woman I cannot support anything that benefits the author, so will be completely avoiding it. I won't get into the specifics, that's not what this thread is for, but I hope those who do choose to play it enjoy it, there is no way any sort of boycott was ever going to happen for this game, it's just too popular, but from a personal standpoint I will not in any way support this game due to who profits from it.
