- Comment on New Age Cartel (NAC) | Modern Browser Mafia PBBG — Dev Showcase & Playtest 4 days ago:
I have a few questions regarding what it will look like to “do things” in the game. It seems likely that for stuff like Training it will be as simple as telling the browser ‘I want to train my Strength’ and then a timer pops up and when it’s done you go up a level. That’s all fine and good, but what about more complex activities like performing a heist or something? Will that also be timer-based? Will it be possible to lower the amount of time spent if my character meets a certain skill check? What if I’m like level 20, trying to do a level 15 job, and I bring along three level 2s to help, will that increase the likelihood of failure (and presumably prison time), just make the timer longer, or would the level 2s simply not be able to assist since they are well below level 15? Will the various operations have different specialized roles (point man, safe cracker, get away driver, etc) or will we all just be lumped together? Lastly, you said PvP combat will be stat-driven, so would that be EXCLUSIVELY number based a la Yugioh (my 2450 ATK point monster beats your 2200 ATK point monster, dealing you 250 points of DMG) or will there be any elements of RNG thrown in as well?
Sorry, that was a lot, but take that as a good sign! The game sounds mighty interesting and I’m anxious to see how it all plays out!

Like everyone else has said, Control is a fantastic game all around, but I have yet to see anyone else in this thread mention the absolute banger of a soundtrack it has

I’m not the original guy you asked and I’m not presenting any genuine evidence, but it isn’t so much that the games are causing groomers to appear because they lack community guidelines or terms of service or are outwardly open to letting anyone play. No, it’s more so that these games are insanely popular among children and the pedos are chasing after the kids wherever they happen to coalesce. It could be Minecraft or Roblox, it could even be something like TF2 or Quake or even Microsoft Flight Simulator. The game itself doesn’t matter, what matters is that they’re on the prowl for kids and will follow them wherever they go and try to talk to them however they can

I too love Five Guys, but yeah they’ve gotten really expensive over the last several years, even before (or like, faster than) the current market trend of everything else getting more expensive. Plus 99% of the time I’m only buying for me so that helps(?)

I mean, TSA does, but they’re searching through thousands of people a day at each major airport. And even though this small island in the middle of nowhere clearly doesn’t have their own TSA checkpoints, I agree with you that it still shouldn’t be the pilot’s responsibility. Ignoring the legality for a minute, let’s say he did choose to check and upon finding (Jesus Christ) a six pack of beer, he decided to refuse service to the passenger. Now they’re both kinda screwed/stranded if the guy doesn’t decide to just throw them away or start chugging

- Comment on Just as Nolan intended 4 weeks ago:
I know you’re not making those arguments, you’re just relaying what you’ve seen elsewhere, but I sure do hate to see them being made because they’re always in bad faith. On the one hand, they claim to want ‘historical accuracy’ as if the movie was trying to be a documentary or something, while simultaneously ignoring the historical fact that different peoples have been moving around and intermingling with other peoples since the dawn of civilization. They want to have their (racist) cake and eat it too all under the disguise of “just trying to be accurate”. Also, let’s be real here, as much as celebrity culture can be (and is) a problem in some cases, they are all professional actors, this is their job and most of them are pretty good at it. And if Nolan was forced to cast only native Greek people, not only would that create its own discrimination, but far fewer people would see the movie because there simply aren’t as many familiar faces. Sorry for the rant, I know you personally weren’t making any of those points, I just needed to vent

Sadly not everyone agrees with you on that one (though I’m mostly on your side here). I’ve seen plenty of people argue ‘Oh the refs should’ve seen that’ despite being all the way across the field or ‘Oh the judges really should know what the cards do’ in a TCG with literally tens of thousands of cards in print, or ‘the ump should have called that a strike, look it’s catching the corner’ as if they don’t realize that the graphics they see on TV are not actually visible above the plate, or other similarly-ludicrous takes. Honestly it’s a little scary how infallible the ‘deciders’ are meant to be in these situations and I believe that giving them as many tools as they can reasonably use is an overall positive thing (as long as the humans are still the ones making the final decision, I feel like I should point that out). Though yeah, I agree that that one particular offsides call you’re referring to was egregious and the humans in charge should’ve stepped in and ruled it fair; like I said at the beginning, they’re not perfect yet (and probably never will be, but that’s a whole other matter)
- Comment on Their entire strategy was to win was force a foul and take a penalty kick 4 weeks ago:
Like I said in the beginning, they’re not perfect and there have indeed been some bad calls. But that can be said for the human refs too and taking away one of their most valuable tools is only going to cause more mistakes/bad calls. The specific call you’re talking about? Yeah, that’s a bit extreme, they were clearly following the letter of the law rather than the spirit, but that’s hardly a problem limited to football, or even professional sports in general. At the end of the day, everyone involved here is human and humans are prone to making mistakes, even WITH dozens of multi-thousand-dollar cameras watching from every angle, I’m just simply arguing that we shouldn’t throw the baby out with the bath water
- Comment on Their entire strategy was to win was force a foul and take a penalty kick 4 weeks ago:
Like I said, I agree that they’re not perfect yet (and probably never will be, but that’s a whole other matter). But I still don’t think you should throw out the baby with the bath water when they can provide a great benefit for the actual refs on the field who simply can’t be everywhere at once. I greatly appreciate you providing some links/examples though where most people (not necessarily in this thread but across the internet) simply rely on the age-old “just trust me bro”. At the end of the day, I still think more cameras are an overall benefit, it’s just a matter of working out how to better integrate them, and by providing examples of how they’re misused we can better figure that out, so thank you 👍
- Comment on Their entire strategy was to win was force a foul and take a penalty kick 4 weeks ago:
Like I said, I don’t think they’re being used perfectly, no. And I think you’re right that they can indeed be used in a negative/unfair way. But I do still believe that having the multi-cam option is a good thing for a professional sporting event. I don’t know the exact rules on how they’re used in FIFA (so feel free to call me out here), but if I had to guess, I think it’s similar to the use of the review box in American Football: the refs on the field make a call, if it’s disputed or if they need more info then they go to the cameras, but ultimately the human beings on the field have the final say. Obviously I didn’t watch every World Cup match, but I don’t recall ever seeing a moment where the VAR stopped play and made a call on its own that every ref on the field had missed. Sports commentators might have seen/talked about something like that, saying that the refs SHOULD have picked up on something, but at the end of the day it’s still humans making the initial calls and the cameras are just there to provide evidence.
- Comment on Their entire strategy was to win was force a foul and take a penalty kick 4 weeks ago:
Not claiming VAR is perfect or that FIFA isn’t full of shit weasels, but isn’t having more cameras (in professional sports games) just objectively better? The refs on the field are still extremely important, but they can’t be omnipotent, so if necessary then why deny them access to dozens of different angles to confirm what really happened at any given time?
