Sounds like a skill issue.

Thanks for making games illegal!

My question for the last 9+ months has been, “how long can a market willingly ignore reality?”

How long did we kick the foundations out of the US dollar when we got rid of the gold standard, and just let it float on speculation and feelings? What, 60-70 years now?

How long has the stock market existed on the whims of people’s feelings over cold hard statistics and long-term analysis?

Markets have been ignoring reality for many decades.

This is an example of what I feel is a watering down of this YSK forum. Knowledge like this is so esoteric as to be useless to a vast majority of the people here. JetBrains develops programming tools, and this post should go into a programming forum.

I’ve found that as long as you put YSK in front of the title, you can post any damn thing you want here. There’s barely any moderation against the type of posts that are brought here. It’s just a place to put a post in a high-volume forum, so that it gets at least triple-digit upvotes.

Shit like this was possible before AI. Companies have been deceiving other people since civilization.

Sounds like a great way to make people aware to not play this game.

I’m so disappointed we came so close to having a Cuno RPG, only to have that ripped away.

If it was an RPG that was even close to contending for that title, I would acquiesce to it.

Except it is. And I don’t think the burden of proof is on the article writer, when culturally, it’s just accepted that it is either the greatest RPG, or one of the greatest RPGs. Maybe you didn’t like it, but that doesn’t invalidate the facts of how high people regard this game.

It’s not some damned marketing strategy. It’s sitting at 91 on MetaCritic (even after all of the backlash about ZA/UM), won Game of the Year for many many outlets, and any individual who has played it all the way through will either call it the greatest RPG they ever played, or one of the greatest RPGs.

That was made 25 years ago. And just off the top of my head, Xenosaga surpassed it.

So bad that I had to hop on a forum and go “Hey, so, there aren’t any good choices in the dialog tree, did I fuck up my character generation? Should I start over?”

Your first mistake was thinking it was like any of those other CRPGS with dialog trees. No, you didn’t fuck up your character generation. Your character IS a fuck up. That’s part of the story it’s trying to tell. You don’t get to Mary Sue this shit.

How you engage with the game is figuring out how to un-fuck-up the character in a matter that is realistic. Or just ignoring whatever lessons the game gives you and continue down the same self-destructive path. Or somewhere in-between. All paths are have their creative stories to tell, and even being strange and weird with it can still lead to solving pieces of the crime you’re trying to piece together.

Yeah, I don’t get games where “You want some fuck?” is a valid dialog choice.

Because it’s fucking funny when you didn’t know what the actual dialogue entry was going to be, you took a gamble, and the “pay off” (well, it was a failed check) is that your character says the cringest fucking line to some woman he’s immediately attracted to. So cringe that even your own Volition (best fucking mental power, btw) is like “the words already left your mouth” as if he was already smacking his goddamn forehead right through to the other side. (EDIT: Actually, it was Suggestion, but whatever.) If anything, it should teach you not to make red check gambles unless you’re prepared for the mental damage a failure might come with. Or maybe you just want to laugh at the upcoming misfortune.

Your. Character. Is. A. Fuck up.

If that bothers you, and you want to play something that involves some extreme power fantasy, where you can pick a class and play a completely silent blank slate, then this game is not for you.

I didn’t even like the Bioshock Infinite DLCs. I thought it ended perfectly with the original Infinite ending.

Long video, but B4Brandoss articulated why much better than I could.

True, this is good news. But, it should not have come down to the entire fucking government of Japan weighting in on the global impacts of this insane decision!

Is this truly the amount of mountain-moving we have to do to counteract a single organization’s opinion? There is a clear difference in effort required between one side and the other.

I’ve posted this elsewhere, but this video is a really good breakdown of the situation.

The P in GOP stands for Projection.

Civvie 11 had a good video on both Descent games.

I’ve lost more of these old GIFs than I realized when gfycat shut down.

Leto II was a biological supercomputer in his own right, who spend thousands of years crafting humanity in the same manner as the Bene Gesserit, under the hand of a totalitarian government. The methods were different, but the path was just as delusional as the religions that his father abused for his own benefit.

So, he became a biological machine to treat people like machines. Sounds like nothing was learned.

Are you sure? That’s just a nude girl in the background. Where are they getting away with that?
