Everyone's dick could be better, even tailored to their individual partner(s). That's why today I am announcing my new start up Dicklink where we will be wiring ape dicks to teledildonic rigs so that anyone can have a dick of any size or shape at any time controlled as naturally as your own dick. My motto is: we are in the future, it's time to act like it.

lol I only learned about that whole thing from this thread not that long ago and just started a Corpo playthrough earlier today with the new patch and looked at that character coming into the bathroom and thought "that doesn't really look like Elon at all" only to find that they axed his dumb little gunpoint-cameo from the game altogether

Bet he's fuming about it

I don't think he wanted to be a random NPC whose purpose is to be yelled at for being weird in a bathroom. It didn't even use his voice, right? (edit: confirmed not voiced by him, yeah)

I think what's happening here is the devs got some revenge by making this joke character look like Elon and people who never played the sequence are assuming it was a flattering portrayal rather than extremely demeaning.

Edit:

Yeah this was my understanding too. It wasn't a cameo at all but a veiled insult, I guess a little too veiled.

That article about the monkeys reads like lab notes you'd find in a horror game, gently caress.

It's a literal plot point in System Shock 2, the best sci-fi/horror game of all time. In fact, Dead Space and Prey (2017) (also amazing sci-fi/horror games) are basically homages to System Shock 2.

That game is definitely where Elon got these ideas from. A couple of audio logs from the game:

quote:

Subject: re: Animal rights?

Ever since we reached Tau Ceti, the lab monkeys have been acting strangely. Nurse Loesser picked one out of a cage to be brought in for vivisection and the rest of them, I mean the entire group, stood up on their legs and howled. This wasn't just a random display, it was a protest.

quote:

Subject: re: drat chimps

Whose idea was it to bring 150 chimpanzees on board anyway? The interests of science? What about the interests of hygiene? Does anybody have any idea how much crap 150 lab monkeys make in a day? The poor chimps... they come onboard for the most historic mission of all time, and they end up being chopped into little pieces in the name of progress.
