Why does The Empire still exist? Its a relic of the bargain struck between Akatosh and mortals . . . a deal broken by Akatosh when he killed Martin Septim during The Oblivion Crisis. Emperor Uriel Septim VII was the last one to rule through divine right. By the time Alduin returns, the Empire has become a purely secular failed state that can't guard its own borders.

If the Thalmor weren't trying to blow up the world, the Empire would probably have crumbled under the weigh of its own corruption and irrelevance.

Good riddance. Never should have given that nazi fuck a platform.

. . . in their time and place, but the universe is ever changing.

"America First" . . . gives healthcare to people who are not American while US citizens go without.

I found Fallout: London hard to get into.

Enemies have too much health and there's not enough ammo to chew through it all. Which would be fine if melee was viable, but its not because the player's damage output and health total is too far behind the enemies.

I was disappointed to find that Red Dead Redemption 2 is just a linear series of cutscenes without any real player agency - more graphic novel than game. I thought it was going to be Skyrim with guns when I bought it. Its the last game I'll buy without demoing/pirating first.

They really need to start building nuclear armed submarines.

The text doesn't matter if its not enforced, so no, not at the moment. Changing the text won't help though if the people we elect to enforce the rules continue to do crime instead.

Aww, he shouldn't be that hard on himself.

I'm using old.lemmy.world & Firefox.

Clicking on the title just opens a bigger picture than the one visible in the preview.

This is the URL that the title links to: https://fedia.io/media/bf/74/bf740f1fa0ab32bd7046f21371cf3c2c25827190a8031768aa58039fd766d42f.jpg

Note the ".jpg"

You've linked to a picture of a motocycle, not the article that the image was presumably from.

I've literally never heard any real person say that. AFAIK, that noise is 100% coming from propaganda organs.

Yeah, the gunplay was pretty bad. I like the game more after cheating my guns skill to 100 so the bullets go straight instead of curving to miss because RNG says your attack misses. The problem with that was it also means the shots I aimed poorly would curve to hit because RNG says that attack should have hit.

I also found the graphics problematic. Not low quality, just so extremely bleak that its emotionally disturbing to play for long stretches.

Another contributing factor is the TikTok website just doesn't fucking work half the time and the only support they offer is a misconfigured AI prone to getting stuck in loops.

I've seen a similar glitch before, but the culprit was a VGA cable not plugged in firmly enough.

Since you're using HDMI, I'd probably start with reinstalling the graphics driver on your laptop.

KSA has given up on trying to defeat the Houthis, and now wants to buy them with a promise of revenue sharing from the oil fields that were recently captured by UAE-backed STC.

KSA hopes they can reduce the frequency of attacks against their oil infrastructure and economic diversification mega-projects. They're betting that the cost of the Houthi attacks that will still be launched against them, plus the cost of the bribes aimed at reducing the frequency of those attacks, will still be less expensive than a full ground invasion of Yemen.

Furthermore, KSA is racing against the global trend away from burning oil for energy. They need to diversify their economy while oil is still valuable, and a ground war would halt that progress because investors won't want to put their eggs into an exploding basket.

So KSA is willing to act against members of their own anti-Houthi alliance in order to prevent a UAE-sponsored break-away state from metastasizing on their border - a break-away state that would control the oil revenue that KSA hoped would buy them a temporary reprieve during this fragile economic moment.
