10 years ago the fact that this was the most expensive game ever made filled me with existential dread for the future of the games industry. It represented everything wrong with games development at that time: hundreds of millions of dollars sunk into development on a product that absolutely cannot be allowed to fail. A cancer subordinating game design to the whims of investors who demand a buck be made at all costs. What has happened since then?

How do I install mods in a pirated version of skyrim anniversary addition? There's a folder for mods in the directory, but, the mods do not show up when I load the game, and, on top of that the game wants me to create a Bethesda account to use them? Any advice?

I have no experience with this kind of stuff, but if i tried to do this, i'd go digging through the mod's dev-forum for a manual install guide. They probably have a executable flag to launch directly into the mod and skip all the normal game menus.

Learned about all the changes this dumbass made to the Majora's Mask 3DS remake recently, and from reading developer interviews it basically sounds like someone embarrassed of their creation–someone who didn't understand their own game. In other words, George Lucas Syndrome.

Starting to realize there's actually quite a lot of these figures in the games industry. What's the deal with this? Why is it so common?

I find that's generally because they either add a skill element that real gambling lacks, or you have a source of in-game funds that won't ruin your life if you lose them.

Today machines aren't a source of economic value, they only are crystalized labor-power. But lets assume a hypothetical future where machine-workers have become the equivalent of humans. That means they re-produce them selves and they can generate economic surplus on top of that.

Machines, robots, androids etc are not the one's displacing people. Automation on it's own has never done that. The problem is that capitalists are trying to abuse machines to increase their personal share of the economic-output at the expense of pretty much any other consideration.

If you organized the economy in a sane manor, machines and people would just work together and cooperate for maximum desirable economic outcomes for everybody.

When the capitalists force people out of work they reduce the overall output of the economy. Even if people are inferior to machines at a task, removing people is still removing a net economic contribution. Which shrinks the economy relative to a machine-human-cooperative model. The capitalist choose the machine-human-competitive model because that generates more for them personally, even if that results in an overall much worse economy.

Remember capitalists are the ones that are making workers un-employed. Technology is not the source of Un-employment or economic insecurity.

As a rule of thumb
In capitalism, the capitalists are the source of most problems.
Most of the suffering is caused by labor-competition.

Also if human-equivalent-androids were ever constructed, the surplus from human workers would be the spark of life that created them, and the cyber-punk mega-corp that seeks to own and control them would be doing slavery of artificial people. Human workers and android-slaves would be natural allies.

A video game that nintendo had a legal distribution monopoly on was leaked ahead of the official release. They got really mad about that and they are trying to take it out on the video-game emulation communities, by attacking emulation related software projects on github.

So the lesson here is if you give companies like that money they are going to use it to attack your hobbies. I think this legitimizes "pirating" games because you have no legal option to buy these games without also supporting nintendo's legalistic mafia-terror.

If copy"right" wasn't set up like a monopoly, and you could buy these specific games from any distributor not just nintendo, so that you could choose to buy from non-mafia sellers, it would at least be logically possible to make a case against "piracy". But as long as that's not possible "piracy" is basically just self defense. Keep in mind that nintendo doesn't make games, it's just a legal entity, and not the same as the people that make the games like for example programmers and artists.

Obviously there also is the hole deal with DRM which is total hypocrisy, it basically attacks the concept of personal ownership of your possessions. It's property-rights for me but not for thee.

If they were to reform copy"right" and remove the distribution monopoly aspect, so that everybody with the means to distribute copies was free to do so as long as they gave royalties (as a form of revenue sharing) to the people who actually created the stuff that is being copied. Maybe that would work.

But as long as they keep the monopoly part "piracy" is basically just competing distributors that were arbitrarily banned from participating in the market. Some times people make the strange argument that pirates gain from the work of others but that's also true for the capitalists that own nintendo, by that logic all of nintendo's profits are pirated.

I sometimes feel like the copy-monopolists take the most extreme ideological positions, while we don't and that's why this hole shit drifts ever more towards reactionary insanity where Nintendo gets to rape random software devs on github as some kind of bully-frustration release mechanism and it's a crime if you play with toys "the wrong way". Maybe we should redefine piracy as everything that keeps works-of-art outside the creative-commons/public-domain and drm as a product defect. Maybe that will create a counter-weight.

Hidden Agenda.

It's ultimately cringe and surprisingly based at the same time. Cringe, because it's peak virtual socdemmery shice which expects you to unite the private exploiters and the death squads with their slaves fur le cummon goot. Based, since it unknowingly teaches you that it is impossible to drive society-oriented humane politics when the main production forces still reside in private property instead of a governmental one at least.
And guess what, even if you slam your ministy with the most supposedly radical fighters for socialism, some of which were commanders in guerrilla and others stuffed in prisons, you still won't get a chance to promote any move that comes out of succdam way. E.g. there's an event where landless farmers say it's enough and just go and take the land from the big guys and ask you to legalize it ‒ and you won't, since you can only take path of either a seething big guy or your so-called radical ministers, all of whom would gently ask you to pacify the dang dirty wageslave stupid proles by speeches of a soft reformation for le cummon of ouh nayshun.

And yeh, this is also the grandpa of that shiddy chauvinistic political "sim" that is called "Crisis in the Kremlin" ‒ even the main gameplay screen, as you can (I hope) see, is practically the same.
