Knee-jerk optimism is something you should grow out of by age 25.

It's not a binary.

True. I’m optimistic that the cynics are right.

Man, Skyrim is just terrible.
(loads Skyrim)
I mean, Oblivion was just so much better.
(clicks 'New Game' on the Skyrim load screen)
The character classes were more nuanced, and had more options.
(watches the cart ride scene through Helgen)
And Oblivion's magic system was so much better than Skyrim's alchemy.
(creates new Skyrim character)
And the story was better too!
(finishes the intro, heads to Riverwood)
Yep, Oblivion was just better in every way. I hope Bethesda actually listens to the fans, and makes the next one more like Oblivion.
(continues to play another 100+ hours of Skyrim)

This is what all edition wars look like to me.

It's such a great parallel too.

First two games are just a wild mishmash of ideas and systems, with a small but hardcore group of fans.

Morrowind is pretty popular, especially after the expansions, though it's a bit unwieldy to play nowadays. Adds more monstrous races. Very complex.

Oblivion streamlined a lot of things, makes outer planes spaces to play in. Also, kinda bad.

Skyrim comes along and sells a bajillion copies. Things are even further streamlined, spellcasting is less busted.

It’s okay. Everyone disappears up their own tuchus from time to time. Don’t act like you’ve never done it.

Today's thought-

Chevy killed Christine McVie.

I don't think I will be able to watch sports this weekend with those commercials cued up to wreck me.

Also? Do you know what you're doing in February?

I do.


The only disappointment is that it is the week after Valentine's day.

That may actually be even better than Mosquito...
