It was a marketing joke of a micro-project.

Noone took it seriously. That is why it's the best one. If they cared, they would make it worse.

Out of all recent Fallout properties:
4, 76, shelter and the TV show.

I cannot believe I say this, but Fallout shelter is the best one, without any question.

You disagreed with targeted advertising. How can I know you really love me, if you aren't even willing to share your interests with me and Amazon?

@mangeurdenuage
I think Bob would buy Amazon premium... Will you buy Amazon premium for me Sempai 😍

Also, give X3 a try. While I see that the X4 is finally getting into some shape, the control scheme of that game is just awful.

X3 on the other hand made me finally fall in love with submenus :D

@BlinkRape
Ok....
When you play X4, and you sit down, literally all your autopilot can do is fly from coordinates A to coordinates B.

It cannot auto-collect, land, fight, trade, repair ships, mine etc. Why? It's a stupid limitation that adds nothing to the experience. At least the landing would be nice.

And the AI is capable of all these tasks. But only, when you stand up, let an NPC take your place. That is stupid.

It is a completely artificial limitation that doesn't even add immersion. It is only there to force you to "engage" with the game more intensely on the low level, I really don't see auto-docking as that deep of a feature.

I know, that the correct term is an empire builder, but I love how X4 feels like an EXTREEEEMELY SLOOOOOOOW strategy game more then a space sim.

That's kinda the difference there. I also do not understand, why is the game so incredibly schizophrenic. You have 3 different cursors. One, to select a current autopilot goal, one to select an in-game object and one, to select an on map object. Switching between these cursors couldn't possibly be less intuitive.

Same problem goes for autopilot. When you sit into a seat, you are driving the ship, so you have to do everything yourself.... except not. You actually have an autopilot feature, that allows you basic traveling automation.... except not. You must land on each base manually, so you are cannot plan ahead... Except you can, IF you leave your seat, and provide instructions to the pilot through the map.

WHO THOUGHT THAT SYSTEM MAKES FUCKING SENSE? :ablobonfire:

On the other hand, I am starting to fully love the depth of war simulation. And I hate the Xenon... :ablobflame:
The factions in X4 are actually fighting for the territory, using actual resources, building actual ships and bases. Are they going to be strategically smart? I doubt that. But it does provide a ton of instability and with that unpredictability into the game world. I actually feel fear for the future of Argon race while playing it. And that is something no other game can provide. Not even X3.

There weren't 20 years ago.
Neither was face recognition software, mass database of faces or processing power.

@bot
When I was young, I was terrified of face recognition, and anything, that could be used for.

Well, too late for that now.

I seriously fear, I have gone full Terry already, and I just didn't notice.

For 20 fucking years, I have been warning people. For 20 years, I have evoided uploading my photos on the internet. I avoided having digital footprint, and I was telling people about the dangers of mass data analysis.

I was a 12 year old boy warning people, that their photos will be used by AI.

And now, that I've given up, after literally everyone has gigabites of personal data on Google cloud... Now people finally noticed? Fuck that. IT'S TOO LATE YOU IDIOTS. I ain't even hiding my data anymore, because it's pointless. It's OVER!!! AI has the big data. It has the biggest data you can imagine. I might as well enjoy the few social benefits now.

There might not be many ways to a happy end left by now for us.

But, I can promise you the best schadenfreude in the history of this planet.

The most hippie post I will ever make 

Our fear of AI is caused by our inability to love.

If we understood love even 1 percent better, we would clearly see a way to create an AI that will be happy to help humans, even though we are just an inferior life form.

@Shadowman311
1) The Karrening will be out of this world
2) I will be happy observing the fire
3) Young girls will see a painting of such a raw emotional art, that will encrave into their psyche why feminism was a mistake for generations to come.

It will be too late for me, but Alphas will be fine.
