I think a lot of gamers know California’s due to Fallout’s NCR.

It could also easily have been something that was added at the very last minute. That stuff happens all the time in gamedev. 

That’s a real shame, though I’m not surprised it was something like that. I remember them having a ton of super persistent+vicious trolls.

I suggested a few times to kinja’s helpdesk types that they should append the username of the ungreyer to any comments they bring out. Would maybe help reveal quizlings and keep…

I just noticed The Root doesn’t have comments any more. Or at least I can’t see them! What happened there?

I think the comparison would be FF7 chars with BG1 chars, who I don’t remember having much to say beyond their recruitment dialog.

My guess is BG2 chars were basically like that until he played FF7, where the chars were infinitely more fleshed out.

Yeah he’s a silly boy for sure. Basically just threw out the first game that came to mind while raging then couldn’t bear not to double down 😂

5 knuckle discount

I assumed it would be top comment!

Sounds a bit like something Lauren Beukes would write.

Lots of accounts seem to get created for it as well. Seen plenty of folk raging about how fresh accounts shouldn’t be allowed to participate due to this.

Will miss this, always one of my favourite features. Good luck out there Luke!

Damn, that would suck. Is he leaving?

lol I think he took your “we can’t have the discussion” as being a literal attempt at an order

So there’s some mechanism which means a legit player (who is falsely suspected of cheating) will not see the fake enemy when the team specifically target him with it?

I wonder if it’s basically just testing a way of cutting down on spam? As ai improves they’re going to be absolutely inundated with games using it for art+writing+voice (even coding eventually). More and more “ideas-guys” can make their dreams reality as it takes less and less work/skill. Like that sci-fi mag that had…

Yup, glad someone else is saying it. When folk say “But humans do this too!” they’re ignoring that this has *always* been acknowledged as a problem to some degree. Derivative works, oversaturation, straight up tracing and copying. It’s just that the barrier to entry for doing these things was extremely high (it takes…
