Payment processors should never get a say in how people spend their money. Unless it is outright illegal there should be no restrictions – no matter what they, you, I or anyone else thinks about the content.
I am saying this not because I am fond of the delisted games, but because it is very much a slippery slope and one day they will dislike something I want to spend my money on.

The art vibe is really different.

Yeah... and I don't feel like it makes the game look any better. :neutral:

But at some point, we should stop complaining we can't run Amiga games without an emulator.

Excuse me? I'll kill off every second daemon in my system if that'll let me run A500 games natively! :grin:

Well of course the moment I have just decided to go with Fedora for my new computer this happens. :neutral:

I looked it up. Has to be one of the stupidest things I've ever heard of, and these days the competition is fierce. I'd be fine with banning that for the moronicness level alone.

To be honest, I don't think that that is a good stance to take. Banning mods should not be supported just because one deems them as moronic.

There a couple of problems with this. The first one being that it is a slippery slope you don't want to be on. I agree with you, the mod is nothing to write home about – but that doesn't warrant a ban. Neither does the changing of pronouns. And I fear that while today some mods get banned that we don't like, tomorrow it might well be the ones we do.

The thing here is that while Nexusmods has some (albeit pretty vague) guidelines in place for submitting, those aren't applied the same to all mods in the slightest. There have been several cases where mods do exactly the same thing just with slightly different content where the mods ban one of them just because they don't like it. Take the mods for changing the flags in one of the Spiderman games for example.

I also think it bears repeating that those are singleplayer mods. No matter what someone installs on their system, and no matter if you, I or someone over at Nexusmods thinks it is in good or bad taste, has any effects or consequences on any other person. You only have to deal with said mod, if you actively go search for, install and use it. No one ever has to give it a second thought unless they do that.

I don't think banning mods that are not to our taste just because of that is something to strife for.

That seems to be by far the best bundle in a long time. I think I'm going to play Boltgun this weekend. :grin:

Oblivion Remaster from the recent ones seems another UE5 slop again. Performs bad, looks pretty blurry and awful.

Part of the reason for the performance might be that the remaster runs two engines under the hood. Much of the game logic still runs on a mixture of Gamebryo/Creation Engine and the rest as well as the graphics are powered by UE5 on top. It is a slightly weird move and I can only assume that the reason for that is that they were able to push out the game a lot faster this way since it is not made inhouse by Bethesda.
