no i will not dedicate 100+ gigs of ssd space to Bethesda game

it could be the best game ever made for all i care, if you can't respect my drive space, i'm not installing your game

It genuinely feels like cost cutting laziness

I've seen people defend it for stuff like Baldur's Gate 3, going "Well it's a 40+ hour game, that's so much content! Plus voice lines and stuff!"

Mother Fucker, games weren't always like this. Persona 3 was 80+ hours and it was like a gig big. I've spent 3000 hours on EU4, and that's 6 gigs. Ogre Battle 64 is 50+ hours and that's like FOUR MEGABYTES. Why are we allowing games in the past year to not respect our drive space?

Y'all remember when you'd buy a fancy new PC game from Target, and you'd get home and pop the CD in the drive, and the installer would go "SELECT ALL YOU WANT TO INSTALL", and you could select to NOT waste disc space installing like, the Cantonese voice clips for the game, cause why would you need those

Why did that go away lol why are there no options for Steam installers now??

we all knew that AI generated crap was going to get people killed but this is an exceptionally awful way to die

  • they look almost identical to several edible species
  • they taste extremely normal and after eating one you will feel relatively normal for 4-6 hours afterward.
  • cooking and other methods of preparation have no effect on the toxins the mushrooms contain
  • By the time symptoms manifest you are already dead - even half a single mushroom is lethal to adults
  • death caps contain upwards of 3 different toxins that cause, among other things, cell rupture and you will experience total organ failure within 72 hours and there is absolutely nothing that can be done to save you

to describe writing a "mushroom guidebook" using AI as dangerous and irresponsible is the largest possible understatement. This could genuinely, easily get people killed.
