Happy Thanksgiving, America! Everyone, let's get ready for…Christmas!!!
I wanted to get these contests up well in advance because we have an extra one going for the month of December - and it requires EFFORT. Keep your beer drinking pants on, there are still the usual lotteries. :)
ART CONTEST
Submit your original artwork and be entered into the lottery and the competition! Here’s some important bits:
- Artwork should be gaming related, and in the spirit of the holidays/season
- Artwork must be original.
- Submit your artwork in the comments below or via PM to me, Cat, via YouTube or image. Included in the video or image should be your N4G username (and not photoshopped on top, we’re using this to save time weeding out cheating cheaters from cheatertown)
- While multiple works are accepted from one user, each work is considered its own submission unless presented as a coherent series with one work identified as representative of the whole
- If you submit artwork that is not yours you’re DQed…from all 2014 contests. And you have to give cgoodno all your presents. Cheating scoundrels cover S&H.
- Site TOU apply
THE LOTTERY: Three winners will be chosen at random from eligible artsy entrants, and each will receive a $50 Amazon gift card!
THREE WINNERS - $50 Amazon card each
THE CHOSEN ONES: Three winners will be chosen based on which we like best. :) Things like creativity and execution will be strongly considered.
THREE WINNERS - $75 Amazon card each
(I'm getting a couple questions that usually end with "because I'm not good at drawing" - this isn't a drawing contest, it's an art contest, so it's not limited to drawing or painting, pencil or paint! Digital mediums, sculpture, so on accepted :))
COMMENT LOTTERY:
Each comment you make on N4G during December = 1 entry. Comment 25 times? 25 entries. 100? 100 entries. You get the idea? Yeah, you do! (Hey, this includes Forum posts!)
DQ if you pick up a restriction during the contest period, and comments with negative labels (Trolling, Off Topic, etc.) don't count.
Prize: 4 winners, a $50 Amazon Gift Card each!

We were expecting problems with mod support, but there are a lot of other issues.
This is why you get the GOG version on gog you can select the version of the game to download.
On pc fallout 4 fallout new vegas and skyrim are all broken on steam because they all got the same "next gen" update.
Skyrim dec 2023
https://www.pcgamer.com/sky...
Can not find new vegas but anyone that modded it knows the script extender there was also broken
Not accidental, they want modders to stop modding their older games to force them to mod Shitfield.
There doing the same on starfield with a mods store and blocking mods
There goal is like blizzard and what they did with fallout 76 you make mods they can sell and you become a slave.
On skyrim they have "trusted" mod devs now basically a badge that lets your mod on the store you get a crumb of the sale when someone buys it.
lol to the disagrees, the last Skyrim update broke mods too. They've been trying to kill mods to monetize them in creation club for years, it's not a stretch that they purposely put out patches just to break free mods.
The disagrees are from people who have common sense. They aren't trying to kill mods. Most mods for any game will break with a new update because they rely on files/code that have been changed. This isn't new. Even with Bethesda this would happen way before the creation club. Mod support is literally one of the things that got Bethesda to where they are, and they're one of the only devs that releases comprehensive mod tools for each of their games.
Over 14 GBs and doesn't change much at all? What? Taking up that much drive space for a pathetic 'remastering' is shameful.
Par for Bethesda.
LOL people are actually expecting massive improvements or something? From Bethesda?? the same people who released Skyrim multiple times and the all look like shit? THAT Bethesda? are people for real?
As of right now, there are no monopolies in the games industry, and for the sake of the medium as a whole, they never should either.
And yet the biggest tech companies in America are essentially that. They buy up all the small comps only to kill them off and steal what they have, and if they can't buy em they bleed them to death.
Eventually they’ll realize the value is with the employee not the company. Buying an IP means nothing if the people who contributed are let go. They’ll get it one day.
tech is different because they buy threats and then kill them. Twitter bought Vine and did nothing with it. Despite people seemingly liking it. Could've had tiktok a decade before bytedance. go figure.
They buy IPs not talent. That's why these buyouts never work and the IPs die. Right now it's too expensive to develop games - but I expect that to shift maybe as AI tools can make it easier. The best games have been indie games for awhile as big developers fuck their ips to death with "games as a service" -
A voice actor from The Coalition's third-person shooter series, Gears of War, has hinted at a new game announcement coming in June.
Hopefully Microsoft will go back to the original story line and get away from that woke nonsense from the last Gears game Gears of Woke! But were talking about Microsoft so all the betting money is on more of the same woke nonsense.
Kewl. Time to get my skethpad out.
Artwork huh? That is an interesting one. I like that idea :)
Get ready for my mad art skills
Yes, I did this avatar myself.
Please, I beg you, submit artwork that is blatantly not your own! I need me some gifts!
But, seriously, hope to see some great submissions!
A art competition huh? did I mention I went to art college ;)
Seriously though, good luck everyone!
