So I heard that tech analogy and I find it kinda misleading for whats going on. So the situation is that you have a old battlemech right, you didnt code its systems and the interface just uses Microsoft ME. Its a piece of poo poo interface and you dont have the source code for it and nobody you know has it AND the drivers have been deleted so you've had to take the driver software from a Hunchback and load it into the Hatchetman you have its close enough so hopefully it'll work out. Now you know that for some reason the driver just crashes and hard locks the mech if you move faster than 64kph and you cant rewrite the driver so the mech is just capped to that, oh well not a big deal. Also you have to hard lock the weapons grouping so that one of the medium lasers fires with the Autocannon otherwise the targetting system crashes for no reason. Okay so thats all a loving mess but you got some practice writing code and you built a exception handler for the movement to let you allow vertical movement without restriction meaning the jumpjets now work. However you found a whole new issue when the pilots started using it where swinging the axe if the engine temperature is too high just causes a bunch of the actuators to lock out. No idea why the Hunchback drivers would be rigged to do that unless it was maybe to prevent the hunchbacks shoulders from damaging the expensive AC20???? gently caress it who knows.

This is how 3025 works. You are all operating on a hosed up coding system, with nobody who built it around and being told to reconfigure everything beyond what it was meant to do and just loading on more functionality. Why does the atlas have a small laser in its head? Because otherwise the command console just hardlocks out thats why. Every engineer trying to hide this hosed up mess writes in the technical report that its for 'up close punch'. This is programmer code for 'Idk boss its hosed and I cant remove it'.

Plus you have evil religious space AT&T (aka Comcast Comstar) killing anyone who even bothers to figure out how all that old tech works or trying to invent new stuff.

Oh yeah I forgot about this. If you manage to actually build your own code or fix any of the lovely drivers issues or undertake the herculian task of ripping out the garbage operating system that was installed for legal reasons in the first place, Microsoft Certification staff just shows up and murders you and blows up your lab.

This fuckin game.

I got this just the other day and holy poo poo someone basically made dwarf fortress with graphics and scifi accoutrements I never knew I needed. As soon as I saw I could freeze my stockpile and heat my bedrooms with the same cooler I was sold.

Some stories from my many games:

My first game ends with everyone dying of malaria and me sneaking a womans corpse out of her husbands bed so he doesn't have to wake up that way. He does wake up to some other corpses though. I haven't dug any graves so shes put out of the way in the dump, everyone is dying of malaria and I can't find the husband. I go looking for him and find him critically ill, lying next to his wife and "looking at the sunset". I am genuinely sad.

I make a team of psychopathic doctors who plan to set up an organ farm/tasteful armchair factory with a mating pair of domesticated grizzlies. Some mad max looking cannibal turns up to join us but gets incredibly depressed by how hardcore my kru is and after a raid ends up on the operating table and I start replacing bits of him, some needed and some not. My surgeon fails to remove his nose and ends up stabbing up his kidneys and spine instead, he goes into a berserker rage out of the anesthetic, flees the room and beelines for the nearest grizzly to die in stupid combat.

I set up a rich explorer as Donald Trump and give him a small loan of 10 thousand silver and a whole bunch of gold and a golden double bed. He is abrasive and dislikes women but is industrious. Things go south quickly, the gold I brought only builds a tiny room and I can't install his golden bed. Donald gets sick from sleeping in a half built house eating raw antelope and develops bad asthma.
The first colonist who joins is a (presumably) Mexican woman named Nunez who has the lazy trait. She is everything Trump hates and hilariously she claims his golden bed and relegates him to the wooden shack. Nunez refuses to do any work except cook so Trump is dragging himself out of bed and wheezing about building the rest of the colony (until I figure out how to force Nunez to be helpful).
Things get off the ground when Trump purchases a couple good slaves, some useless chick and a beautiful and deadly tribal warrior dude who trump refuses to lend his charge rifle to. Weeks of banter lead to Trump and Nunez falling in love sitcom style and Trump is overjoyed to be sleeping in his golden bed at last, a tasteful wedding ceremony is held next to the slaughtering table and a half finished pair of hemp trousers.
Trump's asthsma is getting worse though and Nunez is worried, she tries to harvest the lungs of a bandit prisoner but fails and his comrades come with incendiary mortars. Trump meanwhile is incapacitated, having gone insane at the death of his two huskies in the previous raid and also them automatically being made into food which he likely ate. The brave tribal warrior leads a charge to fend the bandits off but is cut down by a sniper and pistol crew defending the mortars. The whole of Trumptopia burns to the ground apart from the tiny golden room which houses incapacitated Trump. Unfortunately he wakes up, goes mad and gets shot.

Did you know that the Star Wars prequels are actually the story of oppressed slave battle droids rising up against their masters?

CD is a special place.

CD has pockets of great posts but it seems like everyone falls over each other trying to find the most obtuse possible interpretation of lovely mass market movies.

Aphrodite posted:

It's just that CD is the only forum we have for people who majored in one of the unemployable arts.

Like if we had an anthropology forum, or an art history forum, or a I guess anything else with either the words 'art' or 'history' in it forum, then they wouldn't stand out so much.

The Michael Bay megathread wherein it was posited that Bay and Zack Snyder were the greatest filmmakers of all time and Spielberg, Kubrick, Coppola, et al never made anything good was a subtle hint that one day CineD would declare The Phantom Menace to be the best of all 7 Star Wars movies.

it was when a then mod had a meltdown about a funnyman's movie review for the front page Current Events and quit the forum forever

A movie is not good or bad, a movie is. Your opinion is that the movie is bad but mine is that it is good. The movie doesn't care. Approach the movie as it is, not what you expected from it.
