There’s got to be a new directive following this for the writers on those games: “Ensure the dialogue doesn’t matter”

How’s that gonna work?

And they can react to in-game state as well

If every action produces logs and the logs are given to every npc along with some flags, suddenly,

Just punched a guard? That goes in the context

Player is rich? That’s in the context

Wearing mage clothes? Context

It’s a cool way to increase immersion for not much effort without breaking anything in a traditional game

Either emulation is legal and you’re therefore okay with devs getting payment for tgeir labor or it’s illegal and they need to keep as low a profile as they can

I hate people who try to be on both sides

That is one savage fucking title

Hint it’s not the old school tech that was the problem

He referenced a talk about programming made by a conservative guy called uncle bob, in a blog post and doubled down that he doesn’t care

The talk used to be referenced often but now less for both some of the technical principles falling out of fashion, and the author just pushing bad take after bad take thinking he’s 10 steps ahead while staying 20 steps behind because he can’t tell the difference. And also the conservative stuff

It was all just a “do we separate art from the artist” discussion

Fix it in the anniversary edition release

Extra fuck you!

Do you know what is theoretically limiting it to 40-45% in the physical process we are using?

There’s already EnoughMuskSpam fully dedicated to musk antics, I feel like this place could benefit from closing off Bozo so the community can develop different posting habits

If one day I start caring enough about a videogame cosmetic to the point of whining publicly to make it more affordable, someone find me and murder me please

Even for ps2 I don’t know what percentage of it ends up seeing some regular use

It’s a narrow long tail

I don’t know what ps+ is so I’d say no

Maybe for multiplayer

I always loved the “hardware running 24/7” e-waste part of it

I owned a ps4 that I must have played 60 hours on for spiderman and horizon and now it’s never going to be used anymore

Would’ve loved a streaming platform that doesn’t cost a whole console in a year in subscription fees + makes you pay for the games
