Off Topic Discussion Megathread

That feel when it's been a decade since a Elder Scrolls release. Depressing.

We can thank ESO, and Starfield for that. Todd gave an interview recently, even citing both. It's funny, I still remember playing ES (Oblivion, Skyrim) on a really bad laptop back in the day, in bed, like when I was 17. Literally covered up with a blanket. Put tons of hours into them like that (offline, so they didn't even count on Steam). That laptop also had what I consider the best modlist I've ever used even. I was always too lazy to manually port mods to Special Edition, and similarly, I haven't even updated the game or upgraded to the 'Anniversary Edition' on Steam, because I don't want to break more mods.

Coincidentally, I did the same for FFXIV around 2017, when I was having RL issues. This laptop was so bad, that I would get hit by mechanics trying to do dungeons, at no fault of my own. It was so laggy, but I wanted to play FFXIV. Many of my early classes back in late HW, were leveled this way. That laptop was awful. The funny thing was, at the time, I had just built a PC, but I couldn't use it, because the place I was at didn't have grounded outlets, so it would blow up my desktop (literally) if I tried to turn it on.
