Exzore: The Rising

You are making a big RPG, how the gently caress do you write this copy and not think "huh hold on this is a lovely loving plot and also it looks like it was written by a markov generator trained on cliches"

quote:

Damien Clive, the master Exzore has been betrayed by one of his own men, Devon Allmand. He gets stabbed twice by Devon himself in an ambush. He fails to save his king; to fulfil his primary duty as an Exzore Commander. Upon recovery, he emerges from the death bed and sets off on an adventure to reclaim his honour. He aims to take revenge on Devon and to retake the lost kingdom to hand it over to the rightful King. This is not a simple feat and Damien cannot do this alone! He has to find and regroup the banished Exzores and also get support from factions. During his adventure, he also uncovers the secrets of his ancestors to become a "Legendary Exzore".

That's our hero, ladies and gentlemen, and yes, he's a white dark-haired 30-something broody dad.

Risks/obstacles: after creating hard AI in every NPC in the game, we can't stop them from committing suicide after 21ms when they realize the nature of their existence.

Except for one NPC who just stares at the camera no matter what we do.

I like how the best praise they could get from reviewers was "It kind of reminds me of The Witcher" and "it's basically a game."

like it's good to see an effort towards tight focus in exactly one facet of it, but still funny that it's all pie-in-the-sky living, breathing world however when it comes to combat mechanics: "You can use a sword or a hammer."

Exzore legit looks like a generic rpg parody you'd see copies of in a real game. Like Chuck Greene would be biffing copies of it at zombies or something.

Generic? You think their innovative design of non-magical devices identical in function to other games' magical artifacts is generic? Their faction system that probably came from GTA 2? Their watered down take on the crafting from Vagrant Story? Their unique telling of every single revenge/redemption story ever?

Stabbing takes so much effort, it's way easier and less stressful to just blind someone on the other side of the neighbourhood while you chill on your front porch. You can even grab a snack from the corner store as you make your way across town to rob your victim.

Worse than that, you live in a world where it's pretty trivial to build an automatic blinding weapon that a sufficiently malicious individual or group could set up and just leave somewhere to do its thing. It's not rad at all.

you're referring to A2DP and you can only make a single connection at a time. Did you actually test it out or are you only basing on what you saw on your phone? My iPhone will do this too. It doesn't mean it actually works

As of now the only phone that can establish multiple bluetooth audio connections at once is the Samsung Galaxy S8 since it supports bluetooth 5. I think it's called "dual audio" mode

Late response, sorry - I've got the LG V20, which ostensibly supports A2DP. I'll have to test for sure once I get the thing fixed (tragic drowning accident involving a dish pit).

Adam, our founder, even spent five days in a row wearing the Atlas Tee and working up an intense sweat with hour long HIIT and plyometric training sessions, tossing it over the back of a chair to dry then putting it back on and getting anyone willing to give it a whiff the chance to pass the smell test--the response we got the most...“it smells like a t-shirt”, which is a win in our book.

Can't imagine why someone might think a goon would be interested in a t-shirt that can be worn 5 days in a row without starting to stink.

Isn't this a thing that already exists for less money? I have a bunch of t-shirts and underpants that you can wash in the hostel sink and let dry overnight from my days as a cheap traveling young, and I doubt I paid the equivalent of $45 for them at the time.

I don't know why you'd go to the trouble of putting that kind of detailed biofeedback tech into earbuds considering that anybody that serious about fitness and gadgets would probably already have a FitBit that could provide the heart rate info to the app that controls your music. You could even fake it pretty well just off of GPS and accelerometer..
