Old school games enjoyer: “Games used to be awesome… modern games are garbage”

🚨

Morrowind is better than Skyrim

😎

I particularly enjoy the telvanni lore

If they enjoy saying N'wah a little too much, that might be a red flag.

To be honest dark elves are either bloodthirsty capitalists, bigoted isolationists, conservative acolytes or all of the above. What a wonderful people <3... ekhm of course, how outrageous

Ah shit, I just realised Kirkbride was laughing in my face with American satire for the last 20 years. Well played dude.

Most modern games are garbage though.
Always online, drm/denuvo, kernel anticheat, micro-transactions, loot boxes, using AI upscaling and framegen instead of caring about optimisation, TAA smearing...

I honestly believe AAA gaming peaked somewhere around the end of the 360/ps3 era.

Indie games are still great though.

Hard to swallow pill that not all ESIII fans are cool

You see, this is the crux. They are cool. They are cooler than you. Also, they identify as Dunmer so they are inherently superior racially than the farming tools in particular but also any other race really

Great you're going to make me install Morrowind again
