Bay 12 Games Forum

I'm beginning to think that games are headed down the shitter, nowadays.

Most games I buy have more bugs than a goddamned beehive, even if they have a huge budget and loads of beta testers. Leading them to either:
Not work or
Be unplayable because of so fucking many bugs.

I just wish they had the fucking common sense to FIND AND FIX THEM!

It's been like that since game day 1. You should have seen the first iteration of Go. People died. Hopscotch's beta test caused a full out revolution. It took several versions of rock/paper/scissors to stop maiming everyone that played it. Etc., so forth, so on. Frankly, that we've reached the point bugs mostly don't kill people is a major act of methodological progress.

... even beyond the blatant fabrication, general stability and whatnot really isn't all that different than it's been for the last couple decades. It's like. I've been there for most of it, y'know? If anything, the average has improved (so long as you discount flash games, anyway.).

... it's like the game just throws its hands up and goes off to cry in a corner...

... does actually having sound make that something besides mildly strange? Because... without sound, it's just a little odd. Not even a lot odd, or WTF odd, or anything. Just slightly out there. Unless the lyrics are explicit, it's... hell, not even much beyond crap you see on standard commercials and whatnot.

Response to it has possibly been stranger to me than the video itself, heh.

... well, that was amusing. Helped convince a vs AI SR match to go 5 man mid. It ended predictably. Which is to say the team farmed the bots instead of the lanes

36 total kills in fifteen minutes, 10 deaths, etc., so forth, so on. Th'poor bots just didn't seem to know what to do Went 5/1/23 on ashe... built mana manipulator, boots, zeke's herald, and emblem of valor (and then the game ended), because someone had to be the aura monkey (not really) and... why not? Game was ridiculous anyway. 'Dinger and Lux got most of the kills, I think. I was just there for the Q and the auras~

Guess who was just offered a symplectic geometry apprenticeship.  Guess.

That sounds neat!

... what does it do?

In unrelated and minor happies, I am partaking of melty pizza for the first time in many moons.

Melty pizza is called melty pizza because the entire pizza has a consistency only slightly more firm than melted cheese. Microwaving frozen pizzas does strange things, sometimes. But it's surprisingly tasty and healthy! Inasmuch as it's actually somewhat tasty and has yet to immediately kill me.

I'm certainly not, not anymore. I was feeling awfully lonely, since I was the only one interested. Since it doesn't matter what I say, why should I do anything but repeat back to you the same sort of stuff that has been flung at me?

Mostly because of this:

Do not pick a fight or insult another poster.  Do not continue a fight if you feel you have been insulted.  Report it to the moderator.  If you instead respond in kind, you run the risk of being considered part of the problem.

Come home at 3:30 pm to a house that had been uncooled since 7:30 AM. Find it to be fairly refreshingly cool, compared to outside. Check thermostat. 85 degrees F.

Florida, ladies and gents.

How do I know I can trust the plan? What if you're trying to con me out of a win? D:<

And perhaps even more importantly, well...

"It is not enough that I must win. Everyone else must lose."
