I think ActivityPup isn’t even integrated into Threads yet? On release they said soon, a week later they said it was long-time planning. Haven’t heard about it since.

I’m playing mainly western RPG’s like that, but I also couldn’t get into The Witcher. The gameplay is fine actually (I played way more clunky games with lots of enjoyment). But somehow Gerald just never clicked with me, causing me never to feel really connected to my character and to what’s happening.

It’s sad because I can notice how good the games are, but I just really cannot get into it.

Honestly most online games. I just prefer to game alone than with strangers or even friends. And while there are exceptions to the next point, I am well aware. But I also don’t feel like spending my free time having rando’s on the internet hate me for not being some awesome e-sporter, or be called a hacker when it does go well, as often seems to be how it goes. Like, I don’t get why people would spend their free time on something that just tends to make everything so negative. I have more fun things to do in my free time than get complained at… Honestly, the few online games I do like, you can play alone, and I mainly do, like ESO.

But one of the most loved games that I hate the most is GTA V. Especially the online mode. It’s so full of hackers it’s nearly impossible to do anything. Heck, I couldn’t even go buy a new outfit because some stupid guy was spawning shopping cards above everyones head causing the store to close and me to loose my whole selection of stuff I wanted to buy… Just why…

I also keep getting confused with the controlls somehow. Wanna get in your friends car picking you up? End up jumping on it’s roof or kicking it instead… It’s not that I can’t game. My hand-eye cordination might suck but that’s not even the issue here. I somehow just keep mixing everything up, while I’m fine with other games.

As a side note: I remember people theorising that it would be subtitled Redfall, since Bethesda had trademarked the name around the same time.

I also remember Todd later saying in an interview, after lot’s of speculation, that they had no idea yet for the game, basically debunking any speculation as just that.

I also thought the rumor was on trademarking “The Elder Scrolls: Redguard” or something along those lines, which is easily explained as that’s the name of an old spin-off from 1998 that they likely had to settle some stuff for. Timing spe ifically could be chance, or them figuring the announcement would bring more attention to the franchise. Besides, all game titles have been prime location. I think the word “Redfall” was a different rumour than the trademark one.

An old Twitter post suggested Highrock which also matched the trailers look. However, the next ESO chapter became Highrock and they never went back in a main game before, obviously ignoring Arena (Daggerfall was in that High Rock and Hammerfell) So it may have just been about that. An apperantly leaked internal note spoke of project Greenwood, possibly setting it in Valenwood (second most rumoured place) but that is alleged.

But then, it’s late night and it’s been quite a while since I looked into it. So I might renember it wrong as well.

In the end, Bethesda still has us talking and speculating, and has me writing 4 paragraphs, with just releasing one shitty 5 year old trailer. And that while, as I said at the start, pretty all rumours where debunked as “we don’t know yet”. Damn they got me. They still got me…

Expecting a somewhat bug free experience from Bethesda… also, while games take long nowadays, 12 years isn’t a normal amount. Nor is announcing 5 years prior then never speaking of it again… Pretty sure we’re past the “modern games take a lot of time to develop” stage by now.

They said it will be able to connect with Mastodon, so there is zero need imho. I guess it’s more aimed at the casual user who doesn’t care much about data collection.

What I wonder more tho, how is Meta planning on not getting blocked by most Mastodon servers out of fear they’ll go grab all data possible from any server they federate with? Most Mastodon users aren’t exactly pro-Meta and pro-give all your data away…

I know I’m a minority in this, but I unironically prefer vanilla Minecraft, it’s simple in a good way 😅.
