Reality vs Adventure

That seems like it could be types of simulation games. Just set things in motion and see how it goes. Maybe tweak something here and there.

I think that will make a damn good ethical decision based game. Then again, the ethics would be in the hands of the creators. Would not be good if it took a Tropico based dictator stance.

What I don't get is that you have to play 600 hours in Ghost Recon Breakpoint to unlock NFT's in that game. That is ridiculous. This is a case of CEO's thinking they know what's best for the people.

So far everything seems fine. The memory storage is now at 95gb instead of 125gb so it reduced storage space.

I always drink hot tea when I game, although lately I've been drinking more straight black coffee. It just smells so good and tastes so good. The tea's flavor seems to have weakened to me. Maybe I contracted Covid or something that threw my taste buds out. Who knows. My sister got Covid two weeks ago. But she was vaccinated and only had loss of smell and taste.

AC Valhalla has a drunken state; you can have drinking contests whenever you want. The effect was more intense than Black Flag. Witcher 3 has bottles of booze you can drink to replenish health and it makes everything blurry. You can go to the brothel, drink your booze, and buy a firecracker.

Those MF's at GTA threw in a new update on this free multiplayer weekend and it's gonna take me a couple days to download. Says I need the update before doing the online mode. There goes that chance to try it. Whatever.

Keep one; sell one to get games; give away three to the lollipop guild, and one to a leprechaun, if you can find one. He might trade it for a coin.

This weekend the multiplayer is free 12/18-12/19 2021. I've been wanting to check out the GTA5 online mode so I'll definitely do that this weekend as well as Call of Duty Vanguard. If all goes well I may pay for a membership. Who knows. https://www.playstation.com/en-us/ps-plus/online-multiplayer/

Jumping into water with your clothes on

Actually that's true; when a big corporation that's anti union like Amazon gets into the fray of the gaming world, they will use their resources to promote anti unionism. They have already shown that with a recent fake vote they had deciding whether or not to be unionized. During that vote they used intimidation of employees and bribed them with pay increases. So in every way, Amazon is a poison to the gaming industry.

I like the cinematic cut scenes. They don't necessarily have to be long, but it's always cool when you open a door and a scene kicks in, instead of strolling on in and a character waits for your interaction.

In this type of technology, is any GTA series before GTA5 just a spec of dust?

Now this is a representation of a pissed off strong black woman. SPOILERS

Now yer talkin!!! 😁

It's the extra details in things and AI that doesn't fall away as you leave or enter an area. It could be a simple crack in the street with grass coming out of it. The synchronization of sounds and villagers going about their business instead of standing there waiting for god who knows what. It is the weather system, bugs/animals. Props that make it seem like someone was just there. Props can be as simple as litter laying around. With the right music, it can speak to you and give an emotional attachment to whatever vibe it wants to display.

No way, it's gonna get bigger and bigger. They will have an entire gaming chair with a head bubble or possibly even have your bed as a dome.

I like it when students are given opportunities like this. If it were up to me, all senior level classes will be programs and college courses and just do away with whatever bull honkey curriculums they currently teach. They should be primed in their senior level to immediately be able to pursue their ambitions as soon as they graduate whether it be jobs, interns, programs in college etc. Nobody should get a diploma and ask- now what do I do...But if they want to include community issues, then let's hope this sort of thing stays in places that promote moral progress.

I think we're screwed. It's all gonna be the way cable tv is now--subscription based with games only available from their providers. You want the new game that's out? Well damn, now you need a new subscription for the other game provider. What? You want to break contract? Now you gonna have to pay $200 or it will go on your credit report due to a collection agency.

That sounds like a cool thing to do. It would be great to look back on what you wrote and recall how you felt that first time playing it. When i've had a good gaming session I think about it afterwards and I actually think it's a great idea to write it down.

This kind of mix up could be dangerous to an accused suspect from social media as well to their families because we know there are a lot of people that would take matters into their own hands and falsely make citizen’s arrest as we saw with the Ahmaud Arbery case. Then again social media helped identify many of the Jan 6 capital attackers and track them down. So we need these tools to help law enforcement, but at the same time these situations of terrorist attacks will bring anger in people and they will do vigilante justice even to the wrongly accused. And it gets especially problematic when accusing an ethnic minority that is already victimized as it is. But at least they helped find his body. It takes a terrorist attack to get any attention to missing persons of color, and many missing Native Americans go without any conclusion or media attention but the media was all over it when Gabby Petito went missing which is called the ‘missing white woman syndrome.’ I’m just making a point and not meaning to get into any political discussion. But it’s a point nonetheless that needs mentioning.
