Everyone knows baddies wear all black, so if we make all the children wear white only, then if a baddie comes we will know.

Hmmm OK. Sounds like a placebo really. I still find it a bit more like army dog tags though!

Why? How does that help anything?

So I don't get this practice at all and you mentioned Columbine. Is the implication that it's to help identify bodies of dead students or what?

It's woodwork, one word, singular. Like 99.9% of people on the internet, I'm already sat down. Anything else fuckface?

PS. The girl you are talking about has commented elsewhere in this post, so say hi and you might get your wish!

Luke trolled you dude, now you are going to get ripped apart for being super literal like the article asked you to.

What the fuck is your problem? Seriously!

I'm tired, I meant Wallmart again, not Target. Do garages test all car parts and stuff? It's just not how shops work. The shop assumes the supplier has done all this work, if the customer has a genuine complaint they are refunded, if many customers complain about the same item then the seller will lose trust in that…

Sure but holding them accountable for individual bugs is ridiculous. You wouldn't do that if you bought the game at Wallmart. Yes if you tell Target/Steam that you game is totally broken in some way, they should (and do) refund you if the problem can't be rectified (incoming patch in this case). That is as far as…

The only one I've played out of those is Grim Fandango and it's a really good game but there is nothing deep about it. Also you implied Lost was deep when it was quite clearly made up week to week just like Twin Peaks.

And now you are looking at MASSIVE amounts of man hours. Even publishers don't always do this nowadays, they might patch things like that out afterwards.

Sidetracking doesn't equal straw man. Straw men are where you misrepresent someone elses position because it is easier to bring down than their actual position. I never did that. If anything, YOU are side tracking by insisting on using "straw man" incorrectly.

It's subjective. We create the framework that allows people to put in their own values. The software then tells the user if it is cancer or whatever based on the metric the customer supplied. Saving these values allow for consistency over time for a subjective process.

Great, so the game boots but the end boss wipes your hard drive. Valve stamp of approval. That would see them in court for something that they are taking liability for for no reason.

But if you pass them all, that doesn't mean you ARE ready. You can pass every TCR with a useless piece of shit that does nothing if you are using predefined metrics that have nothing to do with the individual piece of software.

No dickhead, if your examples are flawed, that isn't on me. There is no such thing as "good for your blood". That's marketing and you are a moron. The software I test checks for cancer in blood actually so I know what I'm talking about on both the blood and the testing fronts. I'm just assuming you are a troll from…

Look... do you know how big the QA teams are for the big publishers like EA and Activision? The answer is pretty fucking big. Those guys only have to test, what 30 games a year max? Something like that. Do you know how big a QA team would be to give the most cursory of glances over EVERY PC GAME EVER? There aren't…

Exactly. You have to decide whether a game is fit for release SUBJECTIVELY.

I agree that you could make a test which states "Is shoot on RMB for no real reason"? and pass or fail that objectively. I don't think it's a good test though, or any sort of measure for what would make a game good or bad, or a reason to keep something out of a store. I don't want your filters on my games because they…
