So did Starfield become the next big thing? (hexbear.net)

It feels like when Fallout 3, 4 and Skyrim came out you couldn't escape people posting about them for weeks, especially with Skyrim. Now the most I've seen are complaints about how disappointing Starfield was.

Is the game that much blander or does Internet culture just move on that much faster these days? On the other hand, I do feel like there was a lot more enthusiasm for other games like Elden Ring, and sometimes you get an Among Us that just completely take over the Internet.

Pretty sure it's Kirkbride. The guy I'm thinking about has done extensive writing about his interpretation of the lore after leaving Bethesda.

That's kirkbride, and yeah, he famously said that the only substances he needed for the Sermons were whiskey and cigarettes. He was just high on his comparative religion degree (aka irl deep lore)

Respect. Honestly makes sense why I'd mistake a comparative religion degree with tyriptamine psychedelics. Fun fact: In the tale of Moses, he went up to the mountains and burnt a bush and saw shit before making the commandments. The mountain widely agreed upon to be the mountains have acacia bushes, which contain DMT. A lot of our earliest accounts of religion often have pharmacological explainations because of DMT. So if you go hard enough on religion, it'll sound like you're on shrooms 🤷‍♀️
