Nothing wrong with that, and you have the sequel to look forward to!

Skyrim is older now than Half Life 1 was when Skyrim first released.

Skyrim is older now than Tetris was when Half Life 1 first released.

2011 was 14 years ago, the game is more than half my age x3

Do you often formulate math problems spontaneously?

Yeah otherwise that’s a 9 year old posting

Is that a French stereotype I am not aware of?

Because, I've got a bit of experience in teaching math, and I wish most kids in that class could speak math naturally.

[-] teft@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They count very weird. For example to say 87 in french you say four twenties seven (quatre vingt sept) 92 in french is four twenties twelve (quatre vingt douze).

[-] TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 8 points 1 year ago

Don't ask the danish how they say 92

[-] teft@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Oh my lord, that is even worse!

[-] TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 7 points 1 year ago

I lucked out living in a place with a completely logical numbering system thankfully :3.. even english is slightly weird with 11 and 12 not following the -teen pattern (guessing a holdover for using dozens/base12)

[-] Enkers@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Eleven and twelve still do kinda follow base 10 rules. They literally mean “one left” (ain-lif) and “two left” (twa-lif) with the “over ten” being implied.

I'm not quite sure why we have different words for those two, though. Maybe when we added the 'teens, those two just sounded better than firsteen and seconteen?

When I was really getting into PC gaming in 2003 a game from 14 years before would have been released in 1989. Yes, I'd say that was old!

[-] JackDark@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

I don't like how time works.

Morrowind to Oblivion to Skyrim was 9 years TOTAL. (2002, 2006, 2011)

[-] ObsidianZed@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Hell the first Elder Scrolls game Arena is only 17 years before Skyrim.

What the fuck? Yes. Yes we fucking are. MAKE ANOTHER ELDER SCROLLS GAME, YOU ASSBAGS!

It's gonna be shitty, expensive, AND buggy.

Look forward to the disappointment or just accept that late stage capitalism has ruined all of our lives and everything that we enjoyed, and it's only going to get worse.

[-] Aux@feddit.uk 5 points 1 year ago

That's how every TES game was: shitty, expensive and buggy. With zero bugs fixed after a decade since the release. Bethesda is extremely consistent, I'll give them that.

Let's put it like this- Skyrim is as old now as Final Fantasy VII was when it came out. If you had asked me then if Final Fantasy VII was an old game when Skyrim came out, I'd have said yeah.

[-] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

It's from 2011, of course it's old.

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I’m glad no new Elder Scrolls game is coming out. With the enshittification of Bethesda, the announcement of TES6 coming out would just hype everyone only for it to be a buggy, microtransaction-filled trashcan. See Starfield.

I’m more hyped for Skyblivion than for TES6.

[-] three@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Old? It's still getting major releases! 😉

[-] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 year ago

I'm looking forward to checking out the re-make that's about to drop of one of my old favorite games. Lunar: Silver Star Story. I still have my PS1 version.

If I had a dog that was born in 2011 I would call him old.

I personally think games age faster than dogs ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I mean it's a 14 year old game isn't it?

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I'm more upset about Thief (2014) being labelled as "classic".

[-] neon_nova@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago

That’s amazing! It’s one of the few games that I feel like replaying every few years. Some of the others are Mario 3, doom 1 and 2.

There are others but I can’t think of them off the top of my head at the moment.
