What conspiracy theories do you believe in? - Put your tinfoil hats on

Skyrim barely ran on a XBox 360. I heavily mod Skyrim to make it look like a modern game and even with optimized textures it takes a 16gig GPU and a X3D AMD CPU to run at 60fps smoothly everywhere. Recent games require massive GPUs and hundreds of gigs of storage because devs today don't have to worry about making their games fit on a couple of 700mb CDs or an 8gb DVD-ROM so they don't optimize anything. This isn't some Illuminati scheme to make you pay for bigger GPUs.


Vanilla Skyrim doesn't have any clothing or armor physics and Starfield does, you retarded nigger.
Betheshit games are a tough comparison since they have always been incompetent at optimizing their games.
There is a trend of making videos these days, comparing older games versus newer ones, how optimization went down the drain and the level of overall detail (not just graphical fidelity) seemed to decline. Particular favourites are comparing GTA IV and V, and Far Cry 2 and 5 and such.
It's not really a conspiracy imo, it's that developers are retarded and lazy, and publishers push deadlines too much.
The latter doesn't apply to Bethesda, they take ages to finish a game and can take all the time in the world, they're just pure incompetence.
 
the issue with the video games industry is the shift to monolithic game engines like unreal and unity which are jack-of-all-trades that are not great at anything so instead of having to design the software for the product they just adapt an existing piece of software onto the product which is why everything is so samey. on top of that, the whole shift to this paradigm was to allow for the easier distribution and standardization of assets so game devs can make graphically demanding games - which means everyone is just buying premade assets instead of creating them specifically for the product

this shit was beginning to be a problem 10 years ago but it got worse because the industry went through a slump during covid and never recovered (more like, tarkov became popular and everyone bought a PC) so they've just been churning out lazier and lower effort products desperate for a quick cash infusion
 
Is racewar seething at my posts by any chance? I've got him on ignore.

We're not talking modern day laziness or indian-coded, poorly optimised cookie-cutter slop, this started in 2008, the industry was, as far as I'm concerned, all over bar the screaming come 2010 and Kinect and the move towards a new revenue stream of gamers that were consooomer addicted paypigs was no coincidence.
The industry wanted to sell slop to the cattle because they would eat it up without question. 15 years later, here we are.

That doesn't excuse what happened to the quality and scope of games. How many open world, proper open world, games came out last gen? Bethesda and R* skipped an entire generation after supplying multiple games in the previous gen.

It's fair to say that Unreal 5 has caused a homogenisation of games, like the piss-filter and "everything is brown" during the xbox 360's latter years, however that doesn't discount or discredit the fact that with more power than ever before, we are unable to match the quality and ability of 20 year old games, let alone the writing, AI and physics.
"line must go up" and incompetence counts for some of it, for sure, but all of it? Look at the GTA remaster/remakes or Resident evil remakes or Saints row remakes or Halo or Gears of war or Oblivion. Dragons Dogma 2 doesn't look far different from the original but melts top end PC's because of the CPU restraints.

And when was the last time a game pushed every boundary in the industry? Where are the half-lifes and the crysis games? Lack of want or desire is a bullshit excuse considering there are more gamers today than there ever have been in history, yet the relatively tiny numbers of gamers kept the industry thriving for three decades.

Not that data scraping is a conspiracy theory when both EA and Activision had presentations leaked from 15+ years ago stating how they change the difficulties and match-ups based on the emotion of the player, all collated through tonality, rhythm speed and pitch of voice, play style, play pattern (are they changing tactics due to anger and fatigue) all to sell you more DLC and special offers.
Which is no different from phone companies using your location data and location patterns on your phones to detect if you're asleep, hungry or bored, so to spam you with better targeted ads'.
Which is nothing compared the routers that can accurately map your house in real time 3d and sell the data so above companies for better marketing.

If anything, the conspiracy should be; knowing all of this, why the fuck aren't more people mad?

Kanye found out and lost his mind.
Since when are fat brown hobbit women waifus?
I’ve been doing some initial digging around, clicking links, doing some reverse searches, and something is seriously fucking wrong here. I may do a higher effort write up on what I’ve found so far but I’m disturbed to admit that there really may be something to this.

Archive everything.
Huh all the Israeli parts. Isn't it strange? Lets ask Hatemace.

@Mr. Racewar1488 why his Skyrim girlfriend is a Khajiit even though he is a Nord
Not him, he is my N'wah!

The Null Innsmouth was a great one, had me kek.
 
1. David Kelly was murdered
2. David Kelly is not the only British scientist to have been murdered in the last thirty years.
I would like to give a name, but I have always had a very uneasy feeling about the events leading up to the death, and the events after, it’d dox me as being a person who knew them well, and as weird and paranoid as it sounds, I have a feeling that doing so might paint a target on me.
Clearly I’m a coward.
Was about to say Dr David Kelly too (good job I did a search first). I don't see what the Iraqis had to gain by killing him. The question then is who, the USA or us......... There is a reason so many NHS doctors signed a document saying they did not believe the autopsy added up to suicide, then took out full page advertisements displaying this document in broadsheet newspapers. It is probably the only conspiracy theory I do believe whole heartedly.

I've seen attempted suicides where the patient has cut their wrists. They do not usually nick this artery & I've never heard of anyone bleeding out this way. Indeed it is well documented that there was scant evidence of blood loss at the scene. I also believe it very likely he was placed at the scene either post mortem or once unconscious.
The ulna artery is small & frankly not a way to kill yourself, it won't spew blood it'll bleed yes but not for long & not an amount sufficient to kill a man.
 
Us, alas. David Kelley was an honest man and honest men do not care well at certain levels and times.
Blair's career is paved with the corpses of honest men. I'm still convinced John Smith's death wasn't a coincidence. It left exactly the right length of time for Blair to gain the leadership and rebuild the labour party HQ in his image, in preparation for the 96 campaign. Miranda was groomed for that role almost from birth.

I doubt the Americans. Added complexity and problems given the UK would have to be complicit and involved anyway. I did hear a theory at the time that the French had done it at the request of the UK government. Possible I suppose, but probably unnecessary. There were some reasons for the theory but I don't recall why. Mossad also get put forward as the dirty hands for obvious reasons but again, it requires the active complicity of the UK government and given that, you'd feel like they might as well just keep it all in-house and as few involved as possible. That said, it's not like the government is one perfectly unified entity and it's not impossible for whatever reason it was convenient to have someone from another country do the deed.

I'm not sure I have ever met anybody who has both (a) heard of Dr. David Kelly and (b) not thought he was murdered.

To restate the reason for his murder for the thread, he was endangering the entire legal basis for the UK to join the invasion of Iraq. The USA could and would invade regardless but Blair really needed the fig leaf of WMD. Kelly was in a position of being able to debunk that and more importantly, do so as someone they'd be forced to acknowledge. It's absurd to think that the same government which was pushing for a war which would knowingly lead to hundreds of thousands of deaths, including British soldiers, would baulk at the idea of adding one more body to the foundations of that war.

What I wonder about, is what pressure was put on his family to stay silent about it. They most certainly know he would not have killed himself.

David Kelley’s death was one of several ‘oh shit’ moments for me. The death of someone else much closer was another.
John smith was a decent man, and as for Blair, well it’s rare you find someone so comprehensively and utterly loathesome and yet efficient and …. Widespread. His demonic tentacles are in so many pies. Kier of course is in turn a groomee of Blair’s.
So much evil has sprung from that well.
@Overly Serious what pressure is put on the family? Well the other person I know who died they took his wife out as well, separately and in a very odd and unpleasant way. You are dealing with people without a shred of humanity,
Imagine if the David Kelley’s were the experts we trusted instead of the Neil fergusons, and imagine if we had the John smiths as PM. There is no need for the country to be an economic extraction zone for satans minions. We could live somewhere rather nice
 
Us, alas. David Kelley was an honest man and honest men do not care well at certain levels and times.
He’s not the only one to have died in a manner that was ‘unbelievable’ either.
And that’s all I’m going to say about that.
Wasn't there an Indian chap (scientist with the MoD) with a noose around his neck in a car crash as well back when I was a bairn. And that chap (a spook) they found zipped up in a bag in his bath.

Arshad sharif? Yes indeedy.
And the 25 scientists who worked at Marconi in the uk who died in separate often very odd incidents in the early to mid 1980s. Many worked on the Star Wars program.
Shani warren, Richard Pugh, etc. Two of David Kelley’s colleagues also died in mysterious circumstance. 500 plus Iraqi scientists died in odd circumstances as well (that probably was the mossad.)

It was rumored (with little/no proof as far as I know) that Terry Davis designed gov't backdoors into computer hardware/operating systems back in the 90s. Allegedly, the spooks deliberately Mkultra'd him after the fact to prevent him from speaking about the details of what he designed. Which was allegedly the main reason he developed schizophrenia and was constantly paranoid of gov't agents. I sometimes wonder if there were/are others like Terry who did gov't work and went schizo after, but he was just the most visible for some reason.

Something that is slightly more provable, (albeit less exciting) is the fact that the U.S. recently had to start a redesign their Minuteman ballistic missiles, because the engineers that originally designed and maintained them back in the 1960s had all (allegedly) died of old age and had never trained others on their knowledge for security reasons.

It's an interesting theory, but I don't understand why the spooks would bother frying the man's brain instead of simply killing him? It isn't like the US govt is shy about putting down people it seems sufficiently dangerous. Why risk a leak by stripping a man of his sanity and leaving him with nothing to lose?

A lot of glowies are very petty and vindictive and likely enjoy torturing those they feel are below them or those who they "owe".

If you killed Terry A. Davis, PBUH, then people might look into his murder. You break his mind so he's talking about running over three CIA glowniggers with his car in 1999 then everyone laughs. It seems like a lot of work to MKULTRA people the CIA/NSA is paying to go all Inslaw/PROMIS on modern software instead of just disappearing them. You can't point a laser beam at a person and make them a schizo.

You're not wrong. When you get too deep in the weeds, it can be easy to forget that the ruling class aren't cold logical sociopaths and are just as prone (or likely much more prone) to sadism and pettiness as any one of us. In a weird way it's probably not an entirely bad thing - it at least makes it easier to spot. Like picking a wolf from a pack of friendly dogs.
