Liked the main story well enough. Not as good as Morrowind but on par with FO3/4 and Skyrim which I grade as mediocre. Starfield does have some of my most enjoyed faction quests though.
Biggest failings to me were the repetitive POIs and half finished sub systems that while functional could have been so much better. I’m still happy with my purchase and see myself playing again over the coming years but it’s understandable why so many people walked away from it.
I love Zone of the Enders GBA, it is top tier like Golden Sun 1/2 for me. After that Dragon Quest 3 and Breath of Fire series took so much of my time growing up.
It took someone pointing it out for me to consider reproductive choice being related societal violence even though I knew choice was better for societal economic outcomes.
Given the shift to confront, stop, and treat all forms of childhood abuse rather than ignore it also had to help. During the satanic panic the administrations stance was to blame mothers for failing to take care of their husbands as the root cause of childhood abuse. They had the data that showed abuse was linked to poverty more than anything else but it was cheaper to blame women. We’re still not in a great place when dealing with childhood abuse but we’re better than that and it has to have done something.
America legalized abortion and banned leaded gas around the same time. Both were credited with lower crime and violence rates in the following decades. Looking at other countries that did not do both so close together it becomes a lot clearer that both made us safer.
I’d also argue that being further removed from WW2 vets and cold warriors with severe PTSD and government mandated drug addictions generally help. Last bit it decidedly my opinion.
May have something I can try streaming on. I haven’t tried any streaming or remote programs. Thanks for the suggestion, guess I’m behind on what’s out there these days.

I mainly play RPGs and strategy games, Fallout 4 is the most intense game I play right now with plans for Starfield later. My TV is 1080p, don’t know the refresh rate but doubt it’s impressive. I’ve got more budget and was tossing around the idea of a raspberry pi to remote in but figured hard wire would allow for a better experience at lower cost.
I’ve got a long haired tortie that scares me. If I take a bath she will try to climb on my chest and play with the water. I don’t want to find out what happens if she slips in.
You have to be a bit of a masochist to love Paradox which might be why I love Dwarf Fortress too.
I ran medium to high with 2080 super, 32 gigs of ram, and a ryzen 3600. Frames stayed above 60 in most cases drops in the 40s happened in populated areas.
It took me about 40 hours of jumping between playing, videos, and guides before I was functional at CK2 but I loved that game. I’ve got over 1000 hours in CK2/3 and Stellaris. As much as I love them I can easily see why a lot of people hate Paradox grand strategy games.
I have a second hand surface still running windows that I draw on. With a paper like screen protector I find it quite pleasant. Mines a 6 I think, runs Krita great I imagine it’d be even better if I ditched windows bloat.
