7 years ago I made a DJ set that's just Ray Parker Jr.'s Ghostbusters song over 100 other different bits of music (some well-known, some less so) and it goes on for nearly 50 minutes and working on it gave me lasting brain damage

When I think back on the sandboxes of Ultima Online and Skyrim I think: - Big handmade map fully open from the start - Interesting things to see/do outside of combat/quests/levelling - You can mess with objects and NPCs What other PC games could I play to tick all those boxes?

Asking the player to fill the game world with content is a lot cheaper. The only company able to reliably design large environments with sufficient fidelity of interaction is Bethesda, thanks to their tech pipeline. If you haven't already, play the Tamriel Rebuilt mod for Morrowind, by the way.

Reasonable Steve @reasonablesteve.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Kenshi should qualify, although the fidelity of object interaction might not be high enough. A lot of the conceptual oxygen in this area has been absorbed by games that include environmental manipulation, as in, survival-crafting mechanics. So, Subnautica, Valheim, Grounded, etc.

The Machine is a labor-reducing device, taking a bunch of hassle out of playing games while you sit on a couch; the Frame is basically the exact opposite, so the energy is all in places with younger, less tired people.

There are already articles circulating trying to rewrite history and say America was great after 9/11 and united and thoughtful and just a reminder that that period was marked by intense and insanely racist hatred, paranoia, and a frothing desire for unhinged violence and oppression.

I just bought the dumbass gun mouse (pictured below) for wrist pain reasons and it has at least made it possible to do mousing, if not perfectly comfortable.

The stupid Ragnok vertical gun mouse thing, not the extremely dumb one but the regular one. It's basically a pistol grip with a roughly circular base, an extra trigger, a mouse wheel, a USB type C port and a couple other buttons inconveniently stuck to it in awkward places. The damn base doesn't even attach to it! It's just friction fit! It's a terrible piece of garbage and nobody should pay sixty dollars for this unless they have no other choice. Which you don't, because they own the patent on the only practical vertical mouse shape.

I've never seen a game that more aggressively accused its players of being amoral psychopaths for enjoying videogames than Starfield. It's truly a game that requires you not to pay attention to it to enjoy it.

Finally pulling the trigger (so to speak) on a dumbass pistol-grip mouse, because the "regular" vertical I got moves every time I try to click and makes double-clicks impossible.

"BEWARE OF THE PIPELINE" meme format typically depicting a gender transition, here instead showing a progression from a literal gun computer mouse to more typical vertical mouse designs, then slightly sexual ones, and ending with the Novint Falcon, a force-feedback input device notorious for being made into various sex machines

My industrial experience is that gaskets can be either sterile, or long-lasting, but not both. Longevity comes from the rubber decaying slowly, blasting bits of itself into your air lines, or lubrication, which also blasts into the lines. Neither would be food-safe.

Skunk smell can also be a gas leak, or rubber insulation burning off a shorted wire in an outlet (ask me how I know) so anytime a skunk rolls around I have to go checking all the outlets to see if one is hot to the touch.

Those not exposed to a right-wing environment may not know: Lindsey Graham was roundly despised by his own constituency for being a spineless, brown-nosing coward who was equally willing to suck up to Democrats whenever they were in power. He did anything to keep his state's 60% federal surplus.

Dane Olds is my truest friend. He is an artist of legendary skill. If you’ve played a BGS game you’ve had his art on screen 99% of the time. Too many Skyrim weapons to count. All the Dwemer creatures. MUD CRABS. Like half the guns in Fallout 4. Loads of weapons in Starfield. Laid off by Microsoft.

Here’s a really fun one! The iconic armor worn by the Dragonborn in all the Skyrim key art was made by Lead Character Artist Christiane Meister. The Steel Sword (and a majority of weapons in Skyrim) were made by Senior/Lead Weapon Artist Dane Olds. Both were just laid off by Microsoft.

Picture of Skyrim key art. The armor is circled and labeled “Christiane Meister”
The Sword is circled and labeled “Dane Olds.” These were the devs that made the in game art and they were both just laid off.

Among the layoffs was character artist Christiane Meister — a 27-year veteran of Bethesda and (as far as I can tell) one of the longest tenured women in games, period. She worked on Argonians + Khajiit in TES3, horses in TES4 and TES5, Fallout creatures, and more. (cont'd)

Screenshot from the 2006 TES4: Oblivion Making Of documentary, showing Christiane sitting an an old school CRT monitor working on a horse. Her cubical is decorated with action figures and plushies, many of them of Stitch from Lilo and Stitch, but also a fishtank and a poster of TES3 Morrowind.

Photo of the TES3 Morrowind developers around 2002. Christiane sits in the middle, one of the few women on the team.
