Wafik Link ParentYes. And yes, I realize stuntman are not actors and it would never happen, except when it does like Jackie Chan.Are you saying that it's unrealistic for Ryan Gosling to be cast as a stuntman in universe?
Yes.

That used to include Marvel movies, but I haven't seen one in the theater since pre-pandemic times
My last three movies were Dune 2, Oppenheimer and Dune. I used to go to more movies but they rarely rise to the occasion anymore. I'm not entirely sure why.
Specifically to The Fall Guy, I imagine I'll stream it at some point. The concept never seemed believable to me because of the fact that Gosling was supposed to be the stuntman. In what world is he the stuntman instead of the leading man? I would love to know who else they were considering for the role. I would have been more interested if they took a well known stuntman and made them the lead. Obviously that would never happen at $130 million, but I would find that idea a lot more interesting.

Just look up a list of recommended mods and use Vortex mod manager. It's crazy easy these days. You want a mod that fixes bugs and there is one that uncaps FPS when loading which significantly increases loading speed. Then there is one that at least shows you what you're going to say in dialogue. That's enough to enjoy the game for what it is.

Comment on Is TV advertising still relevant? Does anybody under 60 even watch traditional TV anymore? in ~tv

So the question for ESPN is when to flip the focus. At some point linear TV will drop enough that it makes sense to go all in on ESPN+, at which point they will increase the cost but also increase the amount of content they stream.
Yes, there will definitely be ads, but sports fans are used to that.
And yes it will definitely be a mess until everything gets figured out including other streams signing deals to stream sports, which they already are doing.

It's just a matter of time better sports moves from primarily on liner TV to primarily on a streaming service. That's the big question for ESPN right now.

It changes the cap to 350 FPS just for anytime you load a new area. Then caps back down to 72 fps in my case. Honestly, the game is borderline unplayable without it in my opinion.

In particular I remember my mind being blown when I could become a vampire or finding some of the creepier vaults and discovering their stories.
I agree, that stuff is still there, it's just not as good as 3 for the most part. I remember stumbling across some building in Fallout 3 that had some elaborate dominos setup you could knock over and watch play out. It had nothing to do with anything and I still thought it was the coolest thing to find.

It does seem like some people have reported a similar issue.
Is your wife playing on a SSD? There is a super simple mod that uncaps FPS just while loading and recaps it after. It significantly improves load speed on an SSD. Due to how the game engine works, things load faster the higher the FPS is, but physics is also tied to FPS so the game basically breaks if you play with uncapped frames.

That said, I finally did a title bit of their quest line this time and once you get the Castle you get artillery which makes for some silly fun.

The main issue with the dialog is that everything is dumbed down to a few words and often your character will end up saying something you didn't realize they were going to based on your selection. Combine this with your choices of dialog rarely mattering and it is a step down from previous Bethesda games. A mod fixes the first issue pretty easily.
Still worth playing in my opinion, but definitely a weaker effort from Bethesda.

Sadly, the compromises are real. Dialog selections are basically pointless and I'm reminded how much I missed the cool things they did like low intelligence dialog, etc.
Great, definitely wanted to see this one.
