I recently discovered STG, and I cannot stress enough how great it is! It takes a minute to set up with colors and group names. But, oh my, how great it is to have my Spotify, Last.fm, Bandcamp, etc, in a Music tab, all my work stuff in a Work group, all my general stuff (Facebook, Lemmy, and so on) in a Home group, and so on. Being able to toggle between them is so useful.

I haven't been excited for a game in years, but that Xbox Showcase actually got me, and it finally gave me a reason to upgrade to the Series X. But the games: Starfield, Star Wars: Outlaws, Fable, and Avowed. There were a bunch of others, but those are the main few. Cautiously optimistic.

I'll believe it when I see it. I don't doubt it's gone through extensive testing. But every Bethesda title needs a good patchin', which may come sooner or never, in the case of community patches decades later. That said, I expect bugs, but hope it's nothing game breaking.

The Pandemic Years just feels like a singular lump of time, somehow feeling like infinity and a singularity at the same time.

KOTOR is one I've wanted to try, but worry it'll be a Morrowind experience for me. I was excited to hear about the remake, but that seems like it could be in limbo at the moment.

Oblivion was far more vibrant and fantasical-feeling while out and exploring. Skyrim felt very dull and depressing, but that was also the vibe they were going for. I don't fault anyone for not liking something. Hell, Witcher 3 should be right up my alley on paper, and I just didn't end up enjoying it, even after giving it several hours at a friend's recommendation.

I came in on Oblivion and loved it. For as much of a mess as Skyrim was, I enjoyed it. I've found it very, very hard to go back and play Morrowind (or earlier games) as a newcomer without a pair nostalgia goggles. I agree, like all Bethesda releases, it will be a buggy mess. But I'm still looking forward to it. I just want another entry in the series to get lost in, but that's probably just my depression and me looking back at more than a decade ago with my own nostalgia goggles.

Can you elaborate? Genuinely. I've seen this take a few times now.
