A lot of good older games had gameplay explained through play, but it wasn’t as common as it is now for the reasons you stated. Other people had to catch on and then learn how to implement the better design.
And there are still plenty of games that do a terrible job of explaining how they work or have complex mechanics with no apparent way of conveying it to players.
I don’t, because being polite while driving is being unpredictable and that makes things more dangerous.
Instead I do what I want others to do which is just do a better job of paying attention and driving consistently. Making mistakes happen, just refocus and avoid making more.
Many people who get angry at strangers easily see someone apologizing as legitimatizing their anger, and people not apologizing as not understanding they are wrong. I don’t think there is a good solution if people can’t just accept that other people make mistakes and move on without any needed follow up.
One of mine just started beeping and I can’t help but think it is your fault for bringing them up.
Now to figure out which one it is, because high pitched beeping every three minutes makes that sooooo easy.
Clearly there was zero way for the FBI to figure out that a rumored child trafficker was trafficking children. Literally impossible with so few emails bragging about it.
Being a rehash/continuation of the same game was the case since Overwatch 2 came out as they dropped the PvE plans, so it wouldn’t be news.
That is how I read it, what else could it mean?
I laughed out loud at Overwatch x Hello Kitty and Friends.
Anyway, my suggestion is The Jaunt by Stephen King. I think it’s only about 20 pages, part of a collection of other short stories. I have yet to read it myself
It’s longer than you think!
I watched it when it came out and the side plot with the herbal ‘cure’ snake oil seemed unrealistic. How could people be that stupid.
After covid that movie seems to be the most realistic thing I have ever seen.
There is a small amount of dodgy CGI due to the time it was released, but the ship designs, the character behavior, and the horror elements all hold up.
Plus, a biblically accurate warp engine!
AI does not have intent, it is unreliable. Like a car that doesn’t stop when you push the brakes isn’t ‘working against your foot pressure’.
Batt Mann is on the case!
One example they give is scanning the road surface with the bin lorries.
People who drive on those streets could have an easy way to report road issues, and frequently they do. The actual hurdle for doing anything about potholes is almost always a lack of funding for road repairs.
Doing some kind of complex electronic sensor system is a waste of money compared to making it easy for people to quickly and easily report issues.
I didn’t even say hello…
Only if someone uses one of my favorite movie quotes in the appropriate context.
They said ‘many’, not ‘everyone’ or even ‘most’.
I am an introvert and generally don’t go out of my way to interact with strangers, but when strangers have initiated conversation it is mostly like conversations with friends and families. Talking about something that is going on at the time, or some interest they have and want to share.
Talked about cars and kids with a random woman while in line at the auto parts place. Since I don’t use public transportation at home because it isn’t feasible (limited routes nowhere near my home) I am only on public transportation when I travel a couple times a year where I both tend to wish we had something similar at home and also glad I don’t have to be around so many crowds at home. If someone starts a conversation there I tend to roll with it and participate because I know it is limited and won’t ever see them again.
Really I enjoy talking with someone who is very interested in what they are talking about, except for sports.
Reviews that explain the positives and negatives are extremely useful.
I rarely see demos for games anymore.
