Thanks for ruining the rotating login screen photos you assholes, I actually liked those owl-pissed

I’m sure everyone alive on Planet Earth already knew about Todd Howard’s latest Gamebryo-powered mess

I love that this ad is presented just like a picture of a savannah or a castle

    FYI for everyone who hates this shit, ads won’t show up on the login screen if you enable secure login (Ctrl + Alt + Del at login screen). Press Win + R, type in netplwiz, go to the Advanced tab and check the box “Require users to press Ctrl + Alt + Delete”. Viola, no more ads.

      Part of the reason I left Windows for good was the increasing number of extremely silly and obscure workarounds I had to employ to keep the desktop environment sane. The start menu showing online results almost did me in, but I was able to find random powershell scripts to block that. A failed Windows 10 upgrade was the straw that broke this camel’s back. Fast forward a few years and the stuff I see now about Windows 11 looks downright jokerfying.
