nexus6 posted:What the hell were those delays and crunch time for then? probably recognizing the game was a huge loving mess of bugs, as ambitious open world games often are. at a certain point you have to fix as much as you can for a release candidate just to get the game out the door, and then keep fixing as much as possible for a release day patch

gschmidl posted:1 was so buggy it almost sank the company, and needed to be re-released with about 80% (I think) of the game re-done. 2 was better but still needed a re-release to be good. Both statements are wrong, TW1 and 2 were huge financial and critical successes right out of the gate. Maybe not in the US, in the case of TW1, but that wasn't the target market.

Even the re-release of 1 is buggy as poo poo. It's also unbelievably terrible. It's mind-blowing that Witcher 1 was made by the same company as the sequels, really amazing improvement.

Had to go check and I confused this with the console version of 1, which was outsourced and so disastrous that it needed to be cancelled. The original release was criticised for its many bugs, though (much like Cyberpunk right now!), and the EE is basically a complete overhaul. I'll stop this derail now and the schad is on me and my failing memory.

Maybe people liked how horny it was? Not a lot of RPGs let you gently caress all the female characters and reward you with "sexy" pictures.

luxury handset posted:i do applaud the brave souls who pre-ordered this knowing it would be a total mess and in fact anticipating that short window of utterly broken gameplay before it gets patched. you can really only experience games like this in a half finished state before they are patched forever, since it is hard these days to get a physical disc which forever has the 1.0 release on it

imo Witcher 1 is a textbook case of a game that is deeply flawed but still enjoyable.

The original release was criticised for its many bugs, though (much like Cyberpunk right now!), and the EE is basically a complete overhaul. The original release was hailed as the best RPG in years by Central European press, which is what the game was tuned for. The criticisms were muted at the time and largely appeared in retrospect, and from western audiences.

When I was a kid I started but never finished assembling a thing that used a bicycle pump, powdered charcoal and a candle. It was supposed to use the pump to aerosolize the charcoal inside a box where a candle was burning. I don't know if I got the idea from the anarchist cookbook or what, but fortunately I never actually finished the thing. Kids: Stupid as hell edit: Also tried making a bomb with gasoline and potassium permanganate. Definitely from the anarchist cookbook. Happily it didn't work at all because I was way too close when I tried to detonate it.

Just about anything in fine enough form is good for carrying a flame. I remember reading about flour being insanely flammable in the olden days because of how fine it is and a bunch of buildings blowing up because of a single spark or a farmhand with a lantern with all the flour dust in the air.

Powdered drink mix can be fun at bonfires, the burnt sugar smells like marshmallows and you are less likely to burn a yard with gasoline! You might only lose arm hair and eyebrows as well.

Grain and flour can achieve a stoiciometric ratio that makes them explosive with an ignition source. Check out the videos of people puting floor in hair dryers as a prank.

Stoiciometric? Hey cool, learning stuff! Yeah I've seen those videos and ever since I learned about some of this stuff as a kid, it kind of baffles me how people don't get how insanely dangerous that stuff can be. One specific example is someone lighting up a cigarette in a grain mill and the whole building got leveled by the explosion, that never left me.
