For example, I am playing Cyberpunk 2077 right now, and this is what I see: The game is briliant when it comes to visuals, when you can actually see them clearly, but this is the other side of the game.
I would ask you what story the environment tells, but much better question is: How many walls can you recognize ![]()
@kerosene
Environmental storytelling requires you to see the environment
Or, to stop and look at it.
And sadly, modern games "graphics quality" is rated on "noise per pixel" bases, so good luck telling a story :D
(BTW, I LOVE this picture)
@kerosene
BTW, I love deeper lore, but I just don't feel like stopping the entire game to read. On the other hand, I find it just ridiculous, when I think, that all the games would have to do for me would actually read the fucking text.
For instance, I still remember listening to the entire Mass Effect codex.
At least let me run it through Microsoft Sam.
@kerosene
Fallout 1 and 2 are seriously a different case, since there the text is the entire game.
Nah, I meant mails and books that lie in an open slop games.
The saying "this is the worst, that AI is ever going to be" didn't age well considering, that developers are now purpusefully mutilating data sets as well as putting on artificial filters.
And this is not an artificial surface level problem, that can be just ignored. Because think of cars for example. Old cars used to be 100 times more reliable. How is it possible? Because noone cares to create the cars the same way. They couldn't even sell them. And while the technology is known, car manafacturing is a process so difficult, that you cannot just make a car from scratch on your own.
Same goes for the AI. We are already entering a "smart fridge" phase, where the design decisions might be so destructive, that you are happier with the old dumb model.
Point? I with I knew. If I did, I wouldn't need to write this word vommit in the first place :D

Man, I was replaced by pajeets at my job recently. But, while I was talking to one of them, I realized she didn't even know what a file explorer is.
So, it doesn't even seem weird at this point.

> India's the real 'heart' of leftism and not China.
Please, elaborate a bit.
@alyx
And yes, it is extremely dangerous, when the street level mentality shifts to the point, where everyone is terryfied of their neighbour's knife.
So, I am happy we didn't get to that point here yet. That is why I often say, that existence of Antifa is a sufficient reason to elect a fascist.
@alyx
I agree with you, but Trump is in office.
That is why I am pissed off at the left. Because I am a libertarian. I do not want the same things that Trump does. I am not a conservative, and I do have nothing in common with them. Yet, somehow when these people were offered a choice between cutting all the anti-civilization shit before an insane nationalist takes the power, or doubling down, they chose to tripple down instead. And they still believe, that even now, they lost, because they didn't push hard enough the first 3 times.
@alyx
Yes, obviously people will bend in the moment to not get killed. I don't think that's the point though. The point is, that people made to bend as well as people watching will remember, that it must never happen again.
CP 2077 micro spoiler
This is such a briliant mission. It definitely made my day.
Fix a rollercoaster, take a ride with Jonny. It couldn't possiblyt be a simpler mission. It takes 2 minutes and is done.
But: It is an in-world immersive moment, that also allows you to take a minute to take a look at night city and feel the presence of another character experiencing it with you. Damn, I cannot remember the last time it was done so well.
I don't understand how is it possible lefties still don't get this simple concept?
The simplest and fastest way to recruit for your enemies is to go on a violent protest against them. Because, it demonstrates two simple factors.
1) Your position is not compatible with civilized society. It leads to violence against political oposition, that democracy was designed to eliminate.
2) You name your antithesis. Something, that by definition must be better then you, and is already having an effect on your lifes.
'It worked with Milo, It worked with Filip Turek. It is just that simple.
@beardalaxy @ChristiJunior @alyx
Suuure. I myself have 4 accounts... And about 400 games total, so the average should still be completely elsewhere.
@cjd @icare4america
Oh, thank you... That was seriously a tricky language trap :D
@KaiserKitty @alyx @beardalaxy
Btuh...
TOTK is literally peak gaming, and the graphical style is legendary. It is working perfectly both for immersion and clear readability of the scene.
Yeah, I will spit on the Nintendo's infinite recyclation of games with microscopic changes per iteration, but TOTK was an awful example to attack.
