Yep, but that's just a small piece of it. But it was nice.

Nah, I started with Skyrim, and I played Oblivion without mods. It's not great, problematic in many places, but it is playable if you want to discover the story.

I would certainly love to see Morrowind remake.

Oblivion is at least playable for newer gamers. It's not a good experience, but it is manageable.

Morrowind, for all its immense benefits, makes everyone who entered the game scene after 2010 scream in terror. I personally never left Balmora, because it's just a terrible experience by modern standards (graphics, character animation, controls, battle mechanics...), which is a great shame because the game seems to be great otherwise.

TES I and II, while deserving recognition, are very Doom-like in terms of gameplay, and I don't believe an adequate remake could be made, because they are so different they can't adequately be turned into a modern experience.

So, I guess for me all hopes are for Skywind, so I could finally walk the streets of Vivec without the need to fork my eyes.

Let me fix that for you:

Sony: we'll let the whole world pay astronomical amounts of money because it makes us rich! And if someone calls us on it, we'll say it's all because of the US!

I'm sorry to hear about your situation - I'm in a somewhat similar financial position myself - but people are people, and in any income bracket there are things to be concerned about.

For you and me, it's getting enough money to eat. For someone else, it is affording a Switch. For others, it's the rise in the price of caviar forcing them into cheaper options.

Interestingly enough, all of this causes a significant amount of stress, and should you eventually get more money to spare, then after a brief euphoria you'll have the same worries about Switch prices and other things you don't seem to care about now.

In any case, I wish you all the best and hope you'll find your way out of a situation. Hope your spouse gets the surgery and becomes able to work, you have your teeth, and everyone lives a bit happier going forward.

I totally agree with you that gender wars are artificial and meant to distract people from the core issues. Divide and conquer kinda thing.

But that sits exactly at the core of my initial argument. Blaming wide groups of people, among other things, provides completely unnecessary wars out of thin air.

This doesn't deny the fact that people of each gender may face issues that are gender-specific to some degree. Men are more likely to be socially isolated, women are more likely to become victims of sexual abuse, etc. etc. This doesn't mean we should measure who has it worse, but it has to be taken into consideration if we want to correct the course and make everyone actually equal. In this case, we need to address specific sources of male loneliness, as there are some factors unique to men that lead to this.

People acting on gender issues together, not as two divided groups, is a great exercise in civil power and unity, which is helpful for any revolutionary activity.

Absolutely! Everyone gets lonelier as we are getting divided; it's just that it's even harder on men specifically, as there are additional factors at play. But it doesn't mean women don't experience similar things.

That's how you know she should be your wife :)

But really, this should be more normalized. I've heard the opinion that many men see compliments as a way to show sympathy when that wasn't intended, but I think this is exactly because it's so rare.

My girlfriend also takes time to compliment me, and I appreciate it.

Valid perspective; but I think it's quite clearly implied given the scale of the issue. The male loneliness is real, and shouldn't be written off as shit misogynists say, even if it was popularized by them. This kind of discarding might hurt men who have nothing to do with misogynistic talking points, opinions, or actions.

Ah, the classic generalization of men and women as singular groups where everyone acts as one.

There are certain shitty men who objectify women and play alphas. There is the general category of men who get shitted at because of it, whether they belong to the former or not.

Sure, being afraid of the shitty folks is a valid reason to be cautious around everyone, as you can't easily tell one from the other. But saying that all men just made this stuff up while being total asses wouldn't be fair or helpful.

To be clear: there is a male loneliness epidemic driven by ever increasing caution about men overall. Men are often unfairly denied attention they need because they are seen as potential dangers by women and might be ridiculed for speaking out about their feelings by men (which, in turn, do it to protect themselves from the same treatment in an unhealthy patriarchal culture).

This is not healthy; moreover, being in that state of loneliness and frustration is prone to radicalizing people, making sayings about dangerous men a self-fulfilling prophecy in one case, and just causing a lot of misery in the other.

If you're a woman, I'd suggest giving a bit of attention to the men around you. There is a million of untold stories there, and making someone open up to you for the first time is a great and rewarding experience. Or just...be there, and that will be appreciated.

Without cable, you're bound to have quite some downtime. If you want it to be more reliable, maybe locating closer to cell towers/doubling with satellite might help.

Waiting for Endless Space 3 so bad

Space 4X are very stagnant as well
