Shit in, shit out. That’s AI.
“On two occasions I have been asked, – “Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?” … I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.”
—Charles Babbage, on his analytical engine, 1864
Don’t dumb down the gameplay systems
Bethesda design challenge: impossible.
Gah, you’re right. I had it that way at first, but then glanced down a list to check my count and they listed 2002’s Harem Adventures as a separate game even though it’s just the Java phone port of the original.
In fact Diyonisius Exiguus made some errors when counting back to establish the anno Domini date system and as such Jesus would likely have been born between 4 and 8 BC.
I’d just like to point out, for the record, that that isn’t the original trilogy. Sands of Time is the fifth Prince of Persia game.
There’s a board game called History of the World that does something like this, where score is tracked per player, but you play as a new civilization every turn. (And, depending on the draw, may wind up fighting against your previous civ.)
It’s a good game, but, yeah, it’s hard to imagine that working in something like Civilization.
You say that as though he isn’t one of them.
Indeed, friend citizen. Would you like some Bouncy Bubble Beverage?
As a staunch soupist, I’m afraid I can’t support him.
Also I’m neither conservative nor British.
Well, not always: Plural ‘they’ is a borrowing from Old Norse ca. 1200 AD, and the earliest attestation of singular ‘they’ is about a century later.
But, yeah, you’d think 700 years of continuous use would be enough to make it uncontroversial…
IMO the early game exploration rush is the best part. Anomalies and archaeological digs give that great Star Trek vibe that kind of goes away once everyone is settled into their borders.
Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of hard drives speeding down the highway.
I’ve been having a good time with Heart of the Machine, in which you play as a nascent AI figuring out how to survive in a sprawling cyberpunk city.
Never ask:
A woman her age.
A man his salary.
Odo what he did during the Cardassian occupation of Bajor.
Hmm. I wonder what the nature of Owlcat’s relationship with GW is? Was the recent Rogue Trader game part of an ongoing licensing deal or just a one-off?
Pfft, catapults. A trebuchet can launch a 90kg advertisement over 300 meters.
He did specify a large 3D printer. So it might be 2 or even 3 feet in length.
It’s amazing how often things are similar to what they are.
Custom official controllers are a thing.
