    Creation Engine STILL uses flash (Starfield’s menus are .swf files),

    YOOOOOO WHAT THE FUUUUCK.

    Seriously, how hard is it to change the UI to use JS?? They really go through old ass Adobe documentation whenever they make a new menu with AS3???

    I seriously hope it’s all AS and compiled to SWF, if they’re running some fucked version of Adobe Flash to make the swfs by hand, 💀

      JavaScript can do animations without wanting to commit suicide?

        With some jquery, yes. Without it, suicide feels like a release

      I don’t know about the details, but I found that out while browsing the menu mods, as the Undelayed Menus, which removes the pointless delay in opening and closing of menus, comes with a bunch of .swf and that was when I thought to myself “You have to be fucking kidding”

      Checking any other menu mod, it’ll be .swf files.
