Oh no.

The saints row series is pretty good. It was kind of a GTA knockoff but was much sillier and let you actually keep and upgrade/paint cars. It really lets you make the game yours. In… Number 3 or 4 the player gets movement abilities that make using a car actually slower so that really killed the vibe, but the ridiculousness was higher than ever so it kind of balanced. I’d recommend playing them in order or at least watching YouTube videos because the story is sort of linear.

Someone else said morrowind which really is the ultimate “do whatever you want” game. You’re basically never locked out of anything by not doing the main quest, and nearly every npc is killable, even essential ones (though the game will tell you if you do this so you can reload a save). There’s no vehicles really so I don’t know if that’s the vibe you’re going for, but it really is a blast if you can accept the painfully outdated graphics and mediocre combat system.

Valheim is a survival crafter exploration game that can be surprisingly cozy, and sailing around is fun. Also not the vibe I think you’re looking for but I love it so I shill it when I can.

Cyberpunk is actually a damn decent game now, and the world has SO MUCH crammed into it you can just wander and do whatever activity you run into for ages without getting bored. Even the smallest side story has lore that illustrates a tiny piece of night city and I find that really cool.

I think saints row probably best matches what you’re looking for without being a sequel to a game you already mentioned. Cyberpunk too, probably.

never any overt neo-nazis.

When did you live there? They only started coming out of the woodwork post 2016 but especially later.

I remember I was playing vs a friend, and I was hosting. The assault rifle was default on mine, but I knew my friend has his set to shoot rockets. He got the drop on me once so I sprayed the ground in front of him, then killed him when he lagged because of the dozens of explosions on his end.

The hex editor was a blast. I made the pistol shoot 100 bullets at once.

Like how Russia is testing the rest of the EU right now.

I don’t blame you at all. It’s styled after the old final fantasy games, meaning very fiddly with a lot of different abilities, and with the added twist of having to dodge stuff fairly precisely which involves a lot of learning. There is a “story” difficulty which makes the game much less punishing, but I still didn’t feel like playing it.

I did watch my girlfriend play though, and soon I was the one telling her to play so I could watch because the story and soundtrack are that fucking amazing. Just watch a playthrough of at least all the major fights and cutscenes and you’ll understand.

Mypillow would hire you on the spot

There are third party sites where you can sell skins for money.

By “eliminate poverty” he means let robots do all the jobs the poors do and let the poors die.

I love natural immunity. That’s why I jump start it by introducing a weakened or dead version of the virus to my immune system, so I’m protected before I’m ever actually exposed.

Jump scares are cheap. It’s the sound that usually gets me. That said, horror movies have never made me jump as hard as hearing an unexpected gunshot in rust.

Tell that to the corpse of Diane Feinstein that they puppeted weekend at Bernie’s style for months after she died.

I’m barely exaggerating

Thanks. Praise NATO.

Wasn’t there already a force of 2000 there for the same purpose? Pretty sure biden sent em last year.

Sure, but that will only serve to make it more accessible and widely used. AI is still going to keep wasting immense amounts of energy.

Psst, judges don’t need experience with immigration to dismiss cases and have people scooped up by ice as they leave the courthouse.

Russia was considered to be the second most powerful military in the world. They now have suffered over a million casualties and are currently unable to prevent their own oil facilities from exploding on a weekly basis.

In morrowind, you would gain athletics experience for swimming, even if you weren’t moving. So an easy way to powerlevel was to jump into a canal in balmora, wrap a rubber band around your controller stick, and walk away for a few hours whole your character endlessly swam into a wall leveling up.

I know there were also several broken spell combinations, but my favorite was using a custom fortify jump 100 for 3 seconds and then a fortify jump 200 for 1 second and leaping across the map (because fast travel was transit style between fixed points).

Oh and summons disappear when they die, but if you looted one the same instant you killed it, you could get its gear. So you could create a cheap summon golden saint spell for a few seconds, kill and loot it and repeat for unlimited ebony and glass shields and weapons.

In skyrim, there are enchantments that enhance alchemy, and potions that enhance enchanting, so by alternating between the two, you could create gear with RIDICULOUS enchantments. Like the numbers on them would be in the hundreds of thousands.
