Amazing.

The only way that would be better is if it took away hit points instead.

I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

But then you could slam stimpacks. With the bug as is, the only thing to do is strip naked.

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.
Would that even help or does that just end up with you having an armor rating of negative one hundred?

Yeah I meant breakpoint, not cap lol. For the uninitiated, it allows you to use a debugger to inspect the callstack and see what everything looks like at that point in time. Then you can step through it one by one or change a value or whatever you want.

So if your breakpoint tells you its height is now too high, you check the callstack for which functions were called to cause the height variable to rise, and see that it's npc.interact(FurnitureLadder, climb) or something. It wouldn't tell you why it was climbing, but now you could set a breakpoint on the npc climb function and see when and why that is called and so on, instead of just going "welp idk ship it"

Yeah that's fair, I thought you meant like, hit a breakpoint and then sniff around where it broke, for some reason? I have no idea why my brain didn't even think of the call stack, I use it very regularly??

There's a whole number of ways that stuff like that can get obscured, especially if you've got loads of systems touching each other, but yeah, you're right, debugging well with good tools helps. I dunno how robust UE4 debugging is, I'm a custom engine kinda lady, but I'd hope it's good enough for effectively what you suggested.

I'm starting to believe that Fallout 76 is Bethesda's weird psyop attempt at getting in on the outrage (or absurdity) market by intentionally making the shittiest, most broken game possible, in the hopes that people will buy it to see how lovely and broken it is. Like they're bad, but they're not THIS goddamn incapable, usually, mostly. Stuff like all the networking being plaintext is stupid to the point of absurdity, I don't understand how any major dev could manage that. I almost bought it when I heard that just because the barrier to entry for utterly breaking it over my knee for my own amusement at that point is 0

I'm just imagining todd howard sitting at his desk throwing a set of those sexy bedroom ideas dice, but modified to be horrible game ideas, and they land on "GUNS", "DESTROY OWN" and "ARMOR"

We've already got companies doing stuff like putting out ads specifically in the hopes of making people angry, and this is just one step further when you already have the tools and a huge asset base. There's juuuust enough effort that it's not just an asset flip, they even avoided as much work as possible by doing literally no writing, no(?) voice acting, and by making the world as barebones as possible!

You'd be surprised. I saw a video of a father and son watching a basketball game once where a player stepped wrong and got a very open tibia break basically within a single step. A disturbing amount of laughter was had.

If we really want to navel gaze The Outer World's and what happens when you just forbid an undesired behavior, it sounds that's almost exactly what caused the bug. They turned off furniture functions blanket during conversations, even though there is at least the one that has a paired interaction in order to start laddering and stop laddering. Good object docs and impact review could have stopped that in a perfect world.

Honestly, if someone has that level of skill and love for climbing, it seems like a real shame to take the option away from them.

They don't love climbing, they are inexorably linked to compulsively continue the act as long as someone one else is staring expectantly at someone after they just said something. They are in climbing hell and their only absolution comes when someone manages to say goodbye.

That ladder glitch also explains why Parvati specifically seemed to be the one everyone was losing. The room she typically hangs out in, the cargo bay, is filled with ladders leading to the other area that she typically hangs out in, the engine core.

Is there a clip of this where the dialogue isn't inaudibly quiet? I cannot make out the game audio.

Sadly not, the audio mixing in that game is atrocious with no way of fixing it, and every single line of dialogue has one of two songs absolutely blaring over it.

Matt McMuscles (a Youtuber who used to be part of Best Friends Play) does a series called 'What Happened?' where he tries to explain the behind-the-scenes stuff that led to famous gaming and movie disasters.

He had to do a 'What Keeps Happening?' For Fallout 76, because it somehow keeps finding new ways to be terrible.

Reddit post from that video

quote:

Halo Reach for PC has an anti-cheat system and it is only a week or so old. This game is over a year and the only anti-cheat is an overly stressed out report system. Met a group of 4 with cheat-item hacks activated and had ridiculous rare items and items not even possible. The people who had items like Sun Mask, Jester, Goblin, a gun that shot confetti, fire explosive plasma (like, the animation was fire and explosive), etc. were all nice people but I reported them anyways. Why?
:siren:Cause the market is literally ruined:siren:
and these guys will get minor slaps on the wrist and write an "I'm Sorry Cause ____" like you handed out when the game first came out (loving hilarious btw, what a joke punishment)

Lol at this capitalist snitch.
People do the whole going down with the ship bullshit on much more well established and trusted things so it is incredibly, incredibly hilarious that the myth of the rational actor keeps being proven to be a myth.
