I had the French version. While translation was mostly correct, there were some errors here and there.

But the worst part was the newly introduced bugs, because original bethesda bugs weren’t enough apparently. For example, every interior with water had an erroneous water level value that made them entirely underwater.

There’s a slaver lair cave a couple meters from the beginning of the game, it takes like 30 seconds from the end of character creation to get there. In the French version, it’s completely underwater and everyone inside has drowned when you enter it. That’s the level of QA we had.

Oh, by the way, publisher for the French version? Ubisoft.

You know, since we’re on the subject of Elder Scrolls, Daggerfall actually had something like that.

You could ask anyone for where to find some random place, and the NPC would tell you roughly in which direction you should go, if they “knew” the place. Or sometimes they’d just write it directly on your map.

Still hard to do with voiced dialogue if you don’t want your NPCs to sound like robots. Then again, Oblivion didn’t need that to make its NPCs weird and robotic, with its 4 voice actors and huge amount of shared lines between everyone.

That’s a weird eating disorder.

Fun fact, that’s why the immersion-breaking magic compass thing exists in Oblivion (and most open worlds since). Bethsoft devs explained it once.

Stuff is relocated a lot in development, and this means having to rework all dialogues refering to directions, occasionally missing some. It was even more unfeasible for Oblivion in which all dialogue is voiced and would have to be re-recorded.

So they just removed all directions from the dialogue and now you’ve got 100% accurate floating tags telling you exactly where to go, even when you are not yet sure what you’re looking for.

Actual ammo vending machines. That can be tampered with. Great.

Could we not Torment Nexus the rest of Bioshock, please?

You know, if you people wanna ditch the Kingdom and join the club, I don’t think it’s too late.

There are some around my parent’s house, those can be loud as fuck. Sometimes one would start making high pitch screams for half an hour or so.

I think they messed up and went for the ancestors of bonobos, that’s why they’re so chill.

Once I saw a couple of birds screeching and flying around a cat that was getting close of their fallen hatchling, so maybe sometimes it does mean “someone’s eating my baby”.

My question would be : are XT clones conditioned exactly the same? Because if so, XT-23 is lying. They do enjoy doing this shit and they’ve all been jerks since XT-1.

Probably why Tony Stark’s father is named Howard, too.

First goomba : “get on my level, dude.”

The other half becomes vampires, obviously.

Now make the mirrors controllable and let the game do crazy optic full screen rotations, panning and zooming.

Well, arcade machines used CRT displays. Not sure someone was crazy enough to build cabinets in which you’d have to rig those heavy bastards so they rest on a corner.

Personally, I think boobies are pretty cool.

They’ve chosen series with huge amounts of existing content to imitate and got bad stuff from it. I am not too worried for people making more personal content.

Yeah, maybe some time in the future you’ll get infinite serial AI content with basic entertainment value. I’d say half of Disney productions already got there without needing AI, just shotgun writing. And lots of people are already bored of it all and now only look for the good stuff.

Ok, I’m all for worrying about the impact of AI in jobs but… Living advertisements are easy to replace, what a suprise.

People who make actual interesting and/or funny videos, those that require personal work and are a direct result of the creator’s skills or interests, are not really at risk of this.

Wow, a bunch of assholes just getting paid for showing you free stuff they got, pretending to be relatable and your friend while evading their taxes in Dubai, may be out of business. And think of those parents who won’t be able to exploit their kids by getting them free toys and exposing them to the whole world!

I don’t think I will lose any sleep over this.

There was a time when not revealing your identity was considered the safe way to be online, and telling strangers your name or personal info was taboo. Really, it was basic internet hygiene. The first push for real identities on social networks came mostly from advertisers, and those can go to hell.

Yes, some people abuse anonymity to be assholes with no repercussions, and obviously I am not okay with that. There should be ways to deal with those without forcing everyone to expose their identity to the whole world.

I will keep defending the right to anonymity. You only need one deranged maniac with different views on whatever, or trying to ruin your life for whatever reason to get into serious danger.
