Justin Roiland is the person behind Rick and Morty, which should probably explain everything

I played it for about an hour (finished the first bounty) and it has an option to turn down the frequency of the chatter, just fyi. Even then it's very much a Roiland game where a bunch of the humor is just repetition. "Oh my god! You killed that kid! I can't believe you shot him! I mean, even though his species looks like a kid for a long time and he was 30 years old you killed an alien that looked like a kid! It wasn't even really a kid but still it looks bad! I hope we don't get a bad rating for this! Can you believe you murdered what looked like a child but actually wasn't?! Games normally don't let you kill kids, because that's a bad look and affects the rating! And yet you did! And we let you! You used me, the talking gun, to shoot what looked like a child! How does that make you feel?! Like holy poo poo! Other games don't let you do that, but we did! We practically forced you to do it! etc. etc. etc."

You know that bit at the end of a Rick and Morty episode where they just keep going on and on about a thing for a minute? That, except now it's several minutes.

It looks really pretty and I just got a new computer with a fancy graphics card so I might actually continue playing this game (for as long as I can stomach it) but I'm not sure, because I've also got Cyberpunk 2077 and a bunch of other games I can play smoothly with maxed out graphics for the first time in my life, lol.

Glitches in Blade & Sorcery tend to be fairly straightforward, usually it's just things going flying or getting stuck to other things, but the fact that it's in VR where you can directly interact with the bugged stuff just gives it that extra something :allears:

Sports Story evidently had a troubled production, I've been playing through it and finding lots of bugs that I hope get fixed. Most of them aren't too interesting, but I found an RC car race that seems to have trouble if you do it too many times in a row. First, it starts dropping you off onto the wrong vertical layer, but you can still see where your car's supposed to be based on its shadow:

If you keep going, though, it'll eventually dump you somewhere outside the bounds of where you're supposed to be, and things get weird:

:lsd:
The game tries to do a lot with vertical depth, but in doing so introduces more glitches than I would've expected from what seems like it should be a pretty simple 2D game.

Yeah, poo poo, that page gives my computer hives.

I went for a google and found what seems to be the correct article.

quote:

An ex-Bethesda employee who worked on Skyrim has explained an interesting bee glitch that derailed the game’s iconic wagon introduction.

Developer Nate Purkeypile recently took to Twitter to detail his experience of a bee glitch that derailed Skyrim’s iconic wagon introduction. At the start of the game, players are held captive and escorted in the back of a wagon alongside other detainees. The wagon, which is on a set path, is rendered as a physical object in the game, which has led to all sorts of unusual glitches.

Purkeypile encountered an unusual glitch while developing the game that would cause the cart to go flying into the air uncontrollably. The team couldn’t figure out what was causing the issue until they realised the cart was colliding with bees. Bees initially did not have collision detection in Skyrim, but another developer switched it on so players were able to pick them up for crafting.

https://twitter.com/NPurkeypile/status/1427650531321864193

The bee’s collision detection would clash with the wagon’s collision detection, and the former would always win. The cart, which will travel along a pre-determined path, has turned into a somewhat of a meme, with numerous bugs and mods changing the intro sequence in humorous ways.

Another former Skyrim developer also joined in with an interesting bug that the developer found prior to launch. The developers changed how bees functioned in the game, making them follow players that had honey in their inventory. This overlapped with the newly added collision detection, and would literally stop players in their tracks.

You know, now that I think about it, I'm actually surprised that the Goat Simulator 3 intro, which does the Skyrim cart intro as a pisstake, doesn't bug out and launch you as a feature. Does run over people, because the rest of the world sim is active and people like to walk on roads like the one the tractor is driving on.

It is honestly amazing how many problems that loving cart ride has. One of the most common "you hosed up the setup somehow" consequences of trying to mod Skyrim is having the cart flip out. Even when the mod seems like it should have nothing to do with the game physics or anything.

anyway there was a bug filed recently

serving trays grab edible items on spawn and put them onto itself, fairly standard for things like this

problem: human organs are edible

so you would vend a tray, it would spawn in your hands, and then immediately teleport every single one of your internal organs onto itself

I think the most likely end scenario of us giving more and more control to AI is going to be some weird glitch like that killing us all. Like, some rear end in a top hat tweaks the trolley problem logic to consider net worth as a factor and a couple of years later a billionaire gets cancer and the machines just start slaughtering people in descending order of wealth to harvest all their organs to replace the organs they just harvested from the previous person

The machines will bring about the end of the world not by outsmarting us, but outdumbing us
