Tracks of Thought is out! It's a cozy, card-based, talk-'em-up RPG full of fun bug characters. 🐞

There are so many games there's sure to be something for everyone!

Plus this year the Wholesome Direct merch is raising funds for the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, so check out the t-shirts and a cool desk mat over on The Yeetee:

lol starfield got confused on bootup thinking we owned the Premium Edition which we do not, but sadly it didn't give me 1000 bethesda fun bucks to spend on the shop either, you get a whopping 50 credits which is enough to buy precisely ✨ Nothing ✨ on the Creations shop, minimum cost for stuff is three free ones by bethesda, a buildable observatory, a weapon skin, a space suit, and everything else starts costing from 100 to 1000 credits which ranges from "barely worth it" to "super not worth it".

I find it interesting that Creations is essentially merging the approved official mods and the paid mods shop into one, and the unspoken rule is that even if a creator's verified, your achievements still get disabled if you install any free ones, I tested it with a cosmetic watch mod and it warned me it'd disable achievements. in our case it doesn't matter cause we platinum'd this god damn game but it's so pointless doing that for all free mods instead of just the cheat ones, like they have a category for cheat mods and yet all free mods are evil and will disable your cheevos, but not the paid ones! those are like "add-ons" and fine and good. nevermind that a lot of them in the Fallout 4 iteration of the mod shop caused game breaking glitches or were bad and unbalanced or barely worked, but that's outside the scope of this post. At least they finally made the shop UI useful this time around, they let you see the load order, uninstall or just disable mods from there instead of having to go into your game files to delete them manually.

Anyways I wanted to highlight some that I liked and some that I just found funny or bizarre.

This one looks genuinely neat, the pistol looks great, it matches the vibe of the setting, and it's good to have more pistol options in the game that are just real world ones. Starfield's guns are... how do I put it, a Land of Contrasts, and this one looks like it'd be fun! I don't know that it's worth paying for though I probably would if I were still invested in this game.

this mod is hilarious because it's a necessity for a lot of people for all bethesda games made after Morrowind, the "skip the tutorial" mod. it says a lot about bethesda's games that the only one that doesn't need this kind of mod is the one from 2002, every other one wastes your time so much it makes starting a new character a slog.

This one is the one I just think is bizarre. they're charging a considerable amount of money not for a player home (though those are available too), but for a ramen stall to be plopped into one city. they're probably charging more for this because they had to make navmesh changes, modify stuff, make the new vendor and just model the thing, but... who is this for. is this for people who miss the protectron in diamond city that's a one note joke about how it only speaks japanese? I genuinely have no idea why this costs so much or why anyone would wanna buy it, I appreciate the labor that went into making it real and that is valuable, but to whom. people who wanna roleplay eating ramen in the neon shiny cyberpunk city? this is just bizarre, I guess it'd be a nice addition to the city but when it costs nearly 4 dollars (converting the brazilian reais prices I'm seeing for the minimum 500 credits purchase on steam), I think I'd rather buy a chocolate bar or something.
