    Inventories should either be brutally, painfully small for simulationist survival/gear management games, or they should be unlimited. Juggling inventory and crafting more slots is the height of stupid pointless nonsense in games unless it's actually an interesting decision and not busywork.

    Wow. In the 24th Century we’ve abolished capitalism, mastered matter-to-energy, and issued in an unheralded era of peace and understanding. But the space-English still lord it over the space-Irish.

    O'Brien was uniquely punished in star trek. I mean Kiko alone.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    Fairly large but limited inventories can discourage hording while still allowing a person to have pretty much everything they should need.

    I’m going to see Blade Runner in a cinema tonight

    V excited

    It’s a double header with 2049 which I’m less enthused about since it was a good movie but I only saw it like two months ago

    So we're trapping you in a mansion filled with monsters, and you can only take six items...

    Mild discouragement of hoarding is outdone by the irritation of having to constantly trash or drop things, I think.

    That is usually only an issue for people who have hoarding tendencies.

    I don't think this is true. In Horizon, for example, your inventory just swells and swells as you loot things. There isn't enough material being used to match the inflow. Same in e.g. Witcher 3 and constantly dropping stuff or having to take a trip to sell forty swords.

    I don't hoard at all and will aggressively use expendable items and components and I still find myself having to do bullshit inventory chores in games. Biggest offender right now is Destiny but that game is just a goddamn mess in terms of quality of life.

    Currently playing through Skyrim a third time in VR. The first thing I did was blitz Enchanting so that I could strap on a ton of + Carry Weight items. This has solved all my inventory problems.

    Yes. Well done.

    My main issue is that there is usually no option for "don't pick up items with a gold to weight value of less than X" in games so it is constantly looking at the value and weight instead of pressing the take all button.

    I had to give up my dream of being a cook in Skyrim because I couldn't justify being both a cook and an alchemist when at least alchemy is a skill you can increase! :P

    Here is a picture of a cat from Christmas

    He is big and lazy and doesn't make eye contact and claimed a plastic bin as soon as gifts were moved out of it. He could not be dislodged from it. Legend says he is still in the plastic bin

    I so much prefer games that have reasonable equipment slots so you can't carry thirteen swords and twenty suits of armour around

    I just write people checks.

    Community s5 was a bit unsteady until the black mirror predecessor episode with people ratings, and then the very next episode starting with the dean spontaneously bursting into aggressive rap then fleeing, overwhelmed. Now very solid
