There just aren't as many fire dragons around to fight with a sword in dress whites anymore.

no this one really is pretty brilliant. it plays on disaffection with modern alienation and the underlying realization that so much of our society is built on simulation in the baudrillard sense. I bet whoever came up with that read Generation Kill and got the idea of playing on the desire to belong to something greater while ignoring everything else

I swear I remember a news article where Google was considering or revealed to be doing this, but it's not in my bookmarks or search history when I type in Google Maps and I try to bookmark every political article I come across I might need later

edit: Oh, it was probably that I saw here they've started including alt route ads, not silently rerouting, and the Reddit OP is talking out of his rear end

but lol at the idea people would stop using them if they did once they're a firmly entrenched enough habit

google has admitted to occasionally using A/B testing by showing different preferred routes for different users with the same directions requested at the same time in order to track the travel time of the alternate route it presents as best

so if there are 4 orbs but they drop at a 5% rate, does that encounter just get mothballed when theyve dropped? or do you only have the orb until someone else gets it (within 10 seconds of you getting it)? sounds like a bad game

NFT game developers only care about the NFTs, not the game. they are terrible at video games and do not understand what makes games good or worth playing. Grit is a copy and paste game jam tier fortnite clone with nft poo poo in it. look at the quality of this.

5% drop rate means that when you beat the enemy there is a 5% chance it drops that particular loot. There only being four in existence means that the boss has only been defeated about 80 times. Which is of course nonsense, if the thing was that valuable then thousands of people would have been farming it already even on a relatively low-traffic game. They should have said the drop rate was 0.05% or something.

Whether they do or not, it works as part of the scam; if you think they're dumb, then maybe you can beat them at their own game and make some money, and that gets you to buy in.

a lot of scams rely on looking sketchy as poo poo to anyone with the tiniest bit of common sense so they select those people out of the victim pool too

i'm not suggesting these guys are that smart though, i think they're just adopting tried-and-true scammer tactics by blind luck

that's the UE4 third person sample with a tiny level made from marketplace/included assets and a character model that I'm sure is also from marketplace.

what they've got would take an experienced UE4 designer a day at most.

that GRIT game is a pretty funny grift. they say they have a partnership with EPIC, which means they are putting the game in their store. thats the extent of their partnership lol

also they gave a RARE HORSE NFT away and it turns out it was an asset taken straight from the UE shop

Just curious, is it this horse specifically? Because if so, that was one of the monthly giveaway assets from a few months back and that would make it funnier to me.

Saying they have a partnership is against Epic's developer agreement:

quote:

You and Epic are independent contractors and are not the legal representative, agent, joint venturer, partner, or employee of the other. Neither party has any right or authority to assume or create any obligations of any kind or to make any representation or warranty on behalf of the other party.

Lol, it looks like they're trying to downplay this now. Even articles that say "Epic's first NFT Game" in the headline make sure to specify that it's just the first NFT game in the store.
