One of my favorite little things from a game is how Louis Daguerre was a French painter who created 'Daguerreotypes', a process that gave portraits a sharp reflective style, like a mirror. I still remember that vividly.

Not quite, Daugerrotypes are a type of photography. Silver plated copper is coated with a light sensitive chemical and then exposed.

Suffice to say that if you play HZD you will at some point go from thinking "this Ted Faro guy seems like a bit of an rear end in a top hat" to "gently caress Ted Faro".

He is a massive selfish coward who placed his ego above the survival of others. Can't get lower than that, to me anyway. He destroys the collective knowledge of humanity in an attempt to scrub his name from history. He does this apocalyptically selfish act at a point of absolutely no return.

He's also a Silicon-valley Techbro with a resemblance to the usual suspects. He'd be an rear end in a top hat outside of the two apocalypses he causes.

Only game I know daguerrotypes from is Life is Stange in the opening conversation with your teacher. Don't know why people are being smug idiots about it.

Nah I missed the daguerreotype part of the conversation and thought the "early 19th century French inventors in a slightly parallel world" was also someone else named Ted faro that they knew of but not in this context? You know all those French dudes named Ted.

My best guess would be Assassins Creed Unity - but the dates don’t exactly match up. Though that hasn’t stopped Ubisoft before.

Ted made a few bad calls, but honestly who hasn't? When the chips were down, and someone had to make a decision. He did so and I think that's worthy of our respect.

Let's be honest, it was really the programmer's fault. What kind of a smooth brain would interpret the order to make it "unhackable" as "do not program any failsafe or backdoor that we can access"?

I’ve been playing Witcher 3, and one of my favorite little things is that the ingame log of quests is written by the main character’s best friend, Dandelion. Which means a lot of time he has a passive aggressive attitude towards the dumber stuff Geralt does, like if you find a side quest by stumbling into a corpse with a hint of some treasure nearby he’ll usually say “Geralt, in his seeming obsession to investigate every corpse he happens upon, found a hint for some treasure”, or if the story’s currently about him he’ll embellish the hell out of stuff. I’m guessing there’s a half dozen posts about him though, huh.

This was already true in The Witcher 2 as well, including for things like Geralt's adventures in hallucinatory dick mushroom land (  I guess) which also had a giant chicken living in it.
