I noticed that area too as cars would just blow up near there or parts would be about, but never hung around long enough to see this. Pedestrians on sidewalks near inclines with rails tend to walk into the rails and ontop of the rails in a similar totally broken path.

Technically speaking, a lot of the things people pin on radiant AI weren't bugs; they were the game working completely as intended, it's just that the game's intentions were weird as poo poo and not always clear. Something I always think about regarding game AI is that we don't necessarily respond to the AI's actual intelligence, and more towards us being able to understand its processes. In stealth games for example, your Deus Exes and Metals Gear Solid, we very rarely respond to how smart the AI actually is; we respond to how it talks, how it visibly responds to things. Most stealth game AIs are rock-stupid, but we believe they've got some brains because they talk out their thought process.

Radiant AI was really interestingly nuanced, but everyone saw it as dumb as bricks because it couldn't articulate that an NPC was hungry and lacked social responsibility and so thought that it was best to steal what they wanted; all it could communicate in was rumors about mudcrabs down by the water. This was especially true of Oblivion, the only game where radiant AI was really at its 'full power'; everything afterwards just took out more and more of the parts that were causing wild-rear end behavior.

I don't know that I'd call it interestingly nuanced given the basic complaint is a normal player is just completely unaware of all that nuance. I get that if you're into systems porn it's really cool on paper and maybe even in practice if you lead a digital safari looking for some of the weirder things. It's just nuanced but not in an interesting way in that case though. Get back to my favorite idea that if it's working as intended and the intention isn't good then maybe it's ok to call it a bug even if it's not an apparent effect from a technical mistake.

Were kind of missing different contexts here in Oblivion vs Cyberpunk too. Morrowind and Dagger fall were kind of famous for real feeling towns in a 3d sandbox RPG so radiant AI was Bethesda fishing for the next great thing in that space. They got their peak in ladder scripted NPCs and wanted to see what the next level could be. But any flaw here was gonna be seized on real hard because TES is "that good town" series and because of the growing pains we're back to mostly ladder logic framed in their radiant system again.

Cyberpunk is trying to turn their horse and peasants open world into a city open world. The bugs we're laughing at here are a much more fundamental failure to coalesce a believable city and are seized on because above all else you at least you want to feel like you're in a city and lanes diverging into barriers blowing up cars is very not city like.

There's a paragraph you could write here about "delighters" and "expected needs" and their change over time but if I did that I'd have to take a shower afterwards to wash the slime off so I guess all that to say ok sure radiant AI did nothing wrong.

Looks like a dev version of ungoogleable name "Dirge" based on the title bar (because it gets a lot of results for other things)

I mean, I know that is probably an alpha or something (given all the debug info on the video) but that's what happens when you're coding and forget and re-use variables across objects.

If you just right click and go to the video URL/imgur, the developer has links to their social media and etc.
The ungoogleable name Dirge is especially ungoogleable considering the developer only has 5 twitter followers.

Pretty sure that Horror Mansion asset pack was free a couple of weeks ago.
Odds are it's just someone having fun slapping together a couple bundles and iterating from there, and the product looks a lot more impressive because it's already using basically finished graphical assets + animations etc.
(Epic has been handing out like 100-300usd worth of free assets as 'free to buy' every month for a year and a half-ish now, so anyone who's checked in once a month to claim the assets has a fuckton of high quality assets ready for use in any projects they might feel like making.)

My guess is that whatever blueprint/code they're using to spawn+eject those cartridges doesn't sanitize correctly between uses, and resets to a default scale occasionally when spawning them.
(And then for whatever reason the cartridges themselves were imported at the wrong scale. So instead of spawning a 6cm model at 1x scale, they're spawning a 600cm model at 0.01x scale. I've seen newbies do that instead of just correcting the model itself.)

I don’t know if this counts as a glitch exactly, but I’ve been playing a lot of Musynx lately, a game where you hit buttons and play weird techno and songs with Chinese vocaloids. It’s not the best music game ever, but it’s fun! At the end of each song you get a results screen and it shows the song artwork in the background, and it has this really neat subtle warping effect to it right when it shows up, like a bubble zoom kind of deal.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sJtbqqlgx0

Or, at least, I thought it did until I recorded a video of a song and uploaded it to YouTube. Got to the end of the video, no warping to be seen.

Turns out that staring and concentrating at flying notes for a few minutes at a time has just been screwing with my depth perception, which I confirmed by looking around the room and saw my furniture warping. It’s me, I have the glitch. :lsd:

I've heard of this referred to as the Guitar Hero Effect, and got it myself when I used to play it. It's kinda wild the first time you notice it, and it finally made me sort of understand people who get motion sick.

It's probably related to the Tetris effect, honestly. Our brains are pretty plastic. If you're on the younger side (late teens through 20s or so) it's easier for your brain to slip into and out of this special visual processing mode.

I, for one, have recently gotten a Oculus Rift and playing a lot of it. And after about a 1.5-hour session in Valve's free The Lab, I started feeling like my hands were very "floaty" and not real, as if I was still in the lab itself.

This only happened to me the first few times I did VR, it was some game where you're at the returns counter at a store and have to slap customers and groceries around or something. I had to stare at my hand and open/close my fist until it went away.

I just got a headset too and the only thing that screws me up (so far) is smooth movement of my character, using the control stick like a console game instead of point-and-zap movement. I went up a ladder in smooth mode and nearly paint jobbed my office.

Yeah, I thought the same motion sickness couldn't affect me until I turned on the movement via control stick instead of teleportation in the VR home. I quickly got a very queasy feeling. I suppose that's a testament to how immersive it is.

I've never played Guitar Hero or similar, but half a lifetime ago, I'd go play various FPS/Call Of Duty/what-have-you at a LAN center as a way to just get out of the house more, and a lot of the time, when I got out and went to drive home, my brain would still process things in a sped-up kind of way. I'd unintentionally peel out of the center and race down the road to the light, where I'd always stop, realize I'm driving like I'm playing a racing game, and have to mentally switch gears in my brain and purposefully process things a bit more slowly.

Too much video games sometimes makes me feel like real life isn't "real" and everything feels predetermined for a while. Like I'll go talk to somehow and think in terms of dialogue choices or like I know what will happen next because I've already played this section before. It's a weird and subtle effect but apparently it's normal, or at least if you're a goon.

If I hadn't experienced derealization before and I didn't know that it's really a very common and harmless phenomenon, I might be a bit concerned how many people seem to experience it as a consequence of playing video games.
