@bomber_that Not really, we've p much just been seeing debug globals causing this so far. Sure they're in a nunber of mods, but not all for sure

PSA 🚨: Please do not load any #NoMansSky saves using mods for the time being. A bug seems to load all mod users into a default save file on a single world instead of their actual save. Removing mods seems to restore saves to their normal condition.

@Lucky40rty @Origoku @GamersNexus Man I have such a vastly different experience to yours because 85% of the accounts I used to follow are now pretty much exclusively on bsky. GN is the only account I go on twitter for now. It probably has a lot to dp with the type of people you follow.

@Origoku @GamersNexus Why? There is no engagement over there. I was there for 3 weeks and it was a ghost town.

HW News is up! Future of GN, Alienware Might Be Fixed, 9800X3D Shortage 'Intel's Fault,' and Atari is back again youtube.com/watch?v=zdLr5C…

@GamersNexus One thing that ticks me off is Linus's statement claiming he's not a journalist and thus does not NEED to have journalistic integrity. Honesty and transparency are journalistic integrities, yes, but not being a journalist does not mean you SHOULD NOT display those values.

We have received an email from Linus Sebastian, Founder/CVO of Linus Media Group. GamersNexus’ initial written comment is included below, with the email below that. In the event we hit a character limit, the full email will also be attached as an image. -- GamersNexus' Email Reply: Linus: Find our comment below. We have shared this same comment publicly along with the full email for reference. As a courtesy, we have embargoed our post until the scheduled start time of the WAN show. I think sharing our views openly is excellent. I know there is more that you’ve wanted to say about the initial 2023 video we posted, so now is a great time for you to speak openly. We also have had a lot we have wanted to be open about, but have struggled to do so because of the perceptions of drama, friendship, and expectations of media protecting “their own.” That's something that I feel having full disclosure and open sharing of facts and opinions would greatly help with. As for an initial written comment on this message, we feel it is a mischaracterization with leading statements and loaded questions. We will await the WAN show appearance where your views are presented, and we will, after that time, respond by sharing the things we’ve been hesitant to talk fully openly about as well. Feel free to share this entire email with your audience, as it is fully encompassing of our statement. Regards, -- Linus Sebastian's Initial Email: -- On WAN Show today, I’ll be doing a segment outlining some of the ethical and journalistic issues with your content that I have observed personally, and that I have seen raised by the community. I will be especially focused on how they have impacted your coverage of me and my company, because I am most familiar with the relevant facts, but these issues appear to run deeper, and I believe they could be impacting your ability to be objective overall - something I know the community values greatly. There will be a particular focus on your stance around ‘right of reply’ since it affects accuracy so much, and there will also be some discussion around misquoting (as in the recent Honey video) and your inability to address your clear conflicts of interest when it comes to covering an entity that you have chosen to view as a direct competitor, rather than a collaborator or peer, as you did in the past. If you have some comments and evidence on what break-downs caused your inaccurate coverage of us in the past, why you seem to personally find it so challenging to cover us objectively, and what steps you plan to make to rectify these issues in the future, I would be happy to include your thoughts in the segment. The segment will also include the following letter that is addressed to you: Steve, We do our best around here to do what we believe is right, and to stand up for the consumer. That leads to us doing journalist-ey things sometimes.. and I understand basic journalistic principles, but I’m not a journalist and I have never claimed to be. The reason I am sending this to you, then, is not because I am some journalist reaching out for comment, but out of respect, and because I was once a collaborator and supporter, and I hope to be again someday. For that to happen, though, I do have some requests. Everyone is human, and we all make mistakes, but I believe that for you to become the journalist you aspire to be, there are some errors in both your approach and in your coverage that are large enough to merit correction. Obviously, not everything needs to be pulled. Methods aside, it’s clear you were right about a lot of things in August ‘23.. But it’s also clear that between the conjecture, editorialization, and what I hope are simply errors rather than lies, a number of retractions are in order - both on that piece, and your other coverage. This isn’t just for me, but also for your community, who looks to you to do the right thing. As for the personal side of things, I can’t ask you to like me. You clearly disagree, on a personal, MORAL basis, with some things I do. Which ones are real, and which ones are performative, I’m not sure anymore, but it doesn't really matter. That’s your personal compass, and you gotta follow it. What DOES matter, is treating others in the industry with respect, and being prepared to be held accountable the same way you hold others accountable. Traditional journalism, while a competitive battlefield, has no absolute authority, and is quite often a brotherhood with shared goals that hold each other to mutually-agreed-upon standards, not a brutal free-for-all. So, as part of being a contributing member of the tech brotherhood, I expect you to be open to critique in the same way that you expect others to be open to critique. I also expect that if you cover us publicly in the future, you do so with honesty, impartiality, and proper disclosure of your numerous conflicts of interest. With that said, regardless of your motives in ‘23, your actions DID served as a wake-up call for us to supercharge the changes we were slow-rolling. For that, I’m thankful. Now it’s time for your wake up call, should you choose to accept it. If you CAN’T put your biases aside, simply recusing yourself IS an option, but it might require some further retractions, since you’ve claimed in the past that covering us is very important because of our business’ relevance to the tech industry. If that’s no longer the case, then any snipes that relied on that for justification probably need to go, too. I understand that you may not WANT to rebuild this bridge, but I still want you to know that while Gamers Nexus LLC is every bit as much of a for-profit business as Linus Media Group Incorporated, I, Linus Sebastian the individual, still see you, Stephen Burke the individual, as a colleague and potential future collaborator. Cuz the reality is, personal feelings aside, we both fight for the same team - the consumers and our community - a community that is stronger if we just cut the tribalism and work together. I have always said that a rising tide lifts all ships, and we ALL benefit from more interest in our hobby and more contributors to our community. I have always encouraged our viewers to follow multiple outlets and get multiple perspectives - including yours. You used to tell me you agree with those things. I hope you can again, because this is going to be especially important as we all navigate the weirdness around benchmarking ML-assisted cards like the upcoming 50-series.. So in summary, I welcome valid, constructive, TWO-WAY feedback, but when I told you a year ago I had no interest in public sniping matches, that was the truth.. Our community in tech used to stand out as one that embraced collaboration and rejected ‘beef’. I want that again. I chose to make my statement as a segment on the WAN Show and a Clip on our clips channel rather than a dedicated video in hopes of finding a balance between sharing my side and igniting drama for views. Can we forget the past now and move forward? See you at Computex, Linus

🚨PSA: This change will most certainly break all existing mods, and updates will likely take a fair bit longer than usual as it'll also break existing modding tools. Please do NOT harass mod creators on Nexus Mods or elsewhere, everyone's working hard to understand and adapt!

@hat_films So this is the "tweet left the target audience" thing I've heard so much about

Our ‘out of context’ short about bridges being made of filth has gained traction outside of our community (TikTok and Reels too) and the comments are so confused why a bridge wouldn’t be made of steel or concrete 😂 youtube.com/shorts/kpXPPM8…

@SYACVG Yeah but it's on EGS so it may as well be $200

Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League Digital Deluxe Edition is $5 on the Epic Games Store until Tuesday December 3.

@darkseid1979 @pcgamer How is a 1 thousand dollar PC transgender are you sure you're not anthropomorphizing a computer and making it weird

@pcgamer Boycott these companies PC gamer is a woke transgender company. They only care about the agenda

RTX 40-series gaming PCs like these ones are getting cheap enough that they might actually be worthy of the name 'budget'. Read more: trib.al/r1l2Eub

@NY_Knux @HardDriveMag You control the buttons you press

@HardDriveMag Games are built and balanced around their mechanics. "Just don't do that mechanic" isn't a valid response when said games are made expecting you to have access to that mechanic.
