Why spent huge amounts of time and money with a physical presentation in a far away land at GamesCom when a online show (and maybe some demos) works fine too?

The new LEGO game and the Palworld update. The rest was, for me and in my eyes, ugly, boring, the wrong genre or all together.

It needs a certain level of individuality and personality of the creator that sets it apart from other, already existing works of art.

In Germany only stuff that has a certain level of creativity (Schöpfungshöhe) can be under copyright.

It looks like an issue with the premade Lutris installer/config package.

Can you try downloading the installer from GOG and install manually in Lutris via the "Install a Windows Game from an executable" (the + button on the top left) option?

There you can choose "Windows XP 32bit" as an Installer preset, this should provide the best compatibility.

Sounds like something politicians would say: "Long term? That is for after the next election"

That is true, but it is also true that the script extender (and that is all that broke) is literally hacking and forcing it's code into the game. And modern code and compiler is built to resist such attacks, if only by randomizing the needed jump addresses with every compilation.

All changes to the exe will break script extender, there is nothing that can change that. Well nothing but, maybe, a official deep plugin API for the exe and it is very unlikely that Bethesda will provide something like that.

So you say that you want the gog.com version of the game then?

Yeah, Minecraft updates break mods all the time but there it is just something the community accepts as normal and lives with. The huge update rage is something I only see with Bethesda game modding.

The next gen update used a completely different compiler, and that created a highly different executable, that's why the update for script extender took so long and that's why the script extender for next gen edition is unable to load "old" script extender mods.

It is the same that happened with Skyrim Anniversary Edition.

"The term boomer shooter has a rather nebulous origin, and it likely started as a joke. Online pedants often point out that the original first-person shooters were developed by Gen-Xers like John Carmack (born 1970) and John Romero (born 1967), not Baby Boomers. However, "boomer shooter" uses the slang version of the term boomer, as a stand-in for any older person who is closed-minded and out of touch—so please, direct those complaints elsewhere."

I have not seen the video but I think the correct modern answer nowadays is: "boomer shooter"
