1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

Bethesda released (announced, maybe?) a mod-beeaking patch 24 hours before the mod was to be released.

You think they intentionally released a patch just to screw over some mod devs?

I honestly don't know - I have no evidence one way or the other.

However, FO:London was in development for a long time (years?), and Bethesda decided to release a (edit:) mod-breaking patch right before its release, b/c the TV show got popular and they wanted to say the game was still in development?

Maybe it wasn't specifically to "screw over some mod devs," but it didn't help the community one bit.

With Bethesda you can never really tell if it is deliberate malice or simply their typical blistering incompetence. But the end result is the same either way.

This is why people censor the word "G*mer"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Why do people censor the word gamer?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

How breaking was it? I guess that's more important context

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

As far as I know, they basically recompiled the main executable from scratch - to which modders inject code...thus jumbling it all up.

Also def. not intentionally - it just coincided with the fallout series and Bethesda, like every company, wanted to get more cake. Dumb move, but eh.

It broke the mod to where it took FOLON (the mod creators) weeks to fix before they could release it.

It was a considerable setback.
