Is this like that stupid spongebob gag where spongebob and patrick get in trouble for whispering 25 back and forth in boating school?

I assume the joke is that he's gonna have it undone after a while, to dissuade the guy from asking for joke probies for no reason, but maybe that's not the joke and we won't see poster GRINDCORE MEGGIDO again for 11 years.

Yeah, sorry for spoilering the end of a little back and forth of 1. guy asks for a funny probation 2. he gets more than he bargained for 3. some interaction takes place 4. the whole thing gets undone because it's just some harmless forums fun.

It's not comedic brilliance, it's not even a deterrent because I don't care if you ask me for a probation - it's just a little forums thing, an interaction and hey, in the end the guy keeps a 100,000 probation on his rap sheet which actually is the story he was asking for in the first place. But feel free to freak out and spew insults left and right when something so meaningless is happening.

I really don't think the fact that like 3 people are questioning the probation because "haha I was totally joking guys I was planning on reversing it tomorrow and we'd all have a good laff" isn't a foregone conclusion for a 100k probation counts as "freak out and spew insults left and right," especially considering how rare those punishments are.

In the meantime I gave the context for why the thing happened and because 100k probations are rare I thought it's self-explainatory that it would be undone for something so harmless, it's not like I'm modding games with an iron fist. Sorry for any misunderstandings.

I did this and could have stopped it, but nothing in nature ever follows a gaussian curve. Sure, they'll tell you that it does. They say that every five minutes someone dies in a car accident, but how often are there seven hundred and sixty one armless and legless corpses in one hangar?

In Psychotronics what determines whether the Weaver will turn a corpse into a Phantom? Only 2 or 3 bodies got reanimated out of the 6 or 7 I painstakingly dragged in.

In my run, he phantom'd the guy who was already in there, and then one other guy I dragged in. I guess he ran out of juice after that, because he just ignored me after I tried to drag a 3rd guy in.

That was the weird thing, the 3rd or 4th didn't but next did. Maybe some corpses are set to automatically become phantoms after a period and the weaver refused those.

I just finished this game last night and thought it was really cool. Overall I probably liked the gameplay in Dishonored 2 better but Prey had a pretty neat story and setting.

NG+ would be awesome.

Sooooooo quick question, playing this on the PS4 - There any way to just turn down that crazy music/sound effects whenever I've been spotted by a bad dude? Because it's kinda jarring and pulling me way out of my immersion :(

Turn music and voices way down in the options, I had voices in particular at like 1/4 the volume of sfx by the time I had finished the game

If that is what I think it is, it makes you resistant/immune to recycler grenade damage. So now you can just haphazardly chuck them whenever!

Actually I'm very conservative with them because they're a) a unique material gathering tool b) I'm afraid they'll suck in something valuble/interesting.

I think it's safe to say that ZP dude knows his poo poo when it comes to games like this.

It just seems like he doesn't really enjoy 'em any more. Or maybe he's just sick of the whole fast-talkin' abusive comedy game 'review' thing, there's only so much you can do with that before it gets a bit stale. Which it has. He had a good run though.
