Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

Great video bro, right now I think the next elder scrolls is shit until proven wrong so I hope as a community we don't blindly trust them anymore

[@OujirouYT]

I'm going in expecting a bad game so if it's bad I'm not disappointed.

how to say you have room temperature iq without saying it lol

[@ExplosiveFloofBall]

I feel like Mojang is in a similar place with Minecraft
The existence of a single mod that multiplies frames is sad

[@VanadiumMC]

Very true

[@OujirouYT]

I feel like they have largely given up on trying to squeeze money out of base Minecraft because the mods are just so good. Huge pivot to building other things like Minecraft Dungeons and Legends instead of going over the base game.
