poop is an important part of ARK.

Just to make it better; taming a dinosaur takes literal hours even for relatively minor investments. Like, four hours for a level for poo poo dinosaur that any jackass can stab to death. Every official PVP server is basically owned by giant tribes that systematically ensure no one can tame anything or get beyond stone tier. Stone used to be the point where you were pretty much safe because short of explosions, nothing could break stone easily. Then they introduced a dinosaur that could just eat stone. This is fair and balanced.

Huh. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

When I was a kid I played Lego Island and I still vividly remember a game glitch that I can't find any record of online. The game froze for a moment, then the idyllic sky went red and the clouds turned black. All the lego characters then began to fall to pieces and reform in constant flux with their heads spinning. The sea turned into general static, i.e. black/white green/pink and the giant square land textures turned into Big Brother-esque screens of the Lego person's face you were talking to. So I was just standing on a giant talking face while the person was just disassembling and reassembling before my eyes, head spinning Exorcist-style while the happy Lego world turned into hell itself.

Obviously it left quite an impression on me.

This didn't happen to anyone else. Your childhood home sat on a portal to hell, and you are in hell now.

My wife is playing The Gamecube Harvest Moon and she had a cow disappear on her. She can't feed it because she can't interact with it. The only reason she knows it still exists is because it shows up in her roster menu. She could sell it from the roster but she didn't in the hope that it would un-glitch and appear one day. It didn't, and got sick from malnutrition instead. Now she can't sell it because it's sick, and she still can't interact with it to give it food or medicine. This is particularly sad because this is a game where you literally have to hug chickens and cows to keep them alive.

Also, the cow was only a day old before it began it's existential nightmare journey.

My wife is now waiting for the calf to die. It's the only thing that will free up that spot in the roster.

Yeah. If anyone ITT hasn't read the original Breaking Madden articles, I recommend it. Jon references one of them in this video, but there's a bunch of other ones. Fumble Dimension started as a more video LP revisit to Jon's attempt to destroy basketball by replacing every player with goobers that can't play basketball, just to see how the game handles it. In both versions, the game seems to be able to tell something is wrong, and starts revolting.

If you want actual glitches, FF6 is a mountain of them, but my favourite is that all your party members are secretly moogles.

At the start of the game, there's a big scene where Locke has to keep the Empire away from Terra with the help of a bunch of moogles. In order to save space, each moogle is occupying the memory of one of the characters you'll get later, and they only get replaced with the actual character when you get to name them. If you can somehow skip naming the character, they get added to your party as their moogle counterpart. That's not actually very helpful, cause aside from the one that's supposed to be a moogle none of them have any abilities, but you can do it.

FF6 is bar none my favorite game but holy poo poo are there a lot of glitches. There's an overflow glitch that you can get with just a couple characters (without using any other witchcraft). The game only registers 9999 damage at a time, but the actual value goes up to something like 56,000. But if you can exceed that, like power-leveling Terra and using her Morph, the game doesn't know what to do with a number bigger than 56,000 and just starts over from 1. So as far as the player in concerned, their OP character goes from doing 9999 to triple digits.

FF6 also has the incredible Psycho Cyan bug.

The character Cyan has an ability that puts him in a unique counterattacking state, where if he gets hit by a physical attack, he counters with a special attack. Using that special attack pulls him out of the counterattack state, so it's one use, one hit, one counter, pretty straightforward.

However, FF6 has a status effect called Imp. While turned into an Imp, characters can't use their special moves or spells, only normal attacks and items. So what happens if Cyan readies a counter then gets Imped? He counters with a normal attack, which doesn't have the function to remove his counterattacking state. So he'll counter every hit against him until you de-Imp him.

But where this gets really fun is what happens when he dies and gets revived while he's ready to counter. For some reason, that breaks his targeting, so he'll respond to any regular attack used by anyone against anyone by counterattacking a random enemy. And when he's in Imp status, his counterattack... is a regular attack. Which he counters. Which he counters. Which he counters. Which he... And so on, until everything before him has been slaughtered.

All this talk of bad Yugioh AI reminds me a bit of the OG Culdcept. The 3DS port (Culdcept Revolt) is the best version of the game but lacks the... unique charm of the original. The original Dreamcast/PS2 version didn't have an AI issue, but a major translation issue. Culdcept is a marriage of CCG and Monopoly. So accurate, consistent, and intelligible translation is critical to the little nooks and crannies of interactions that come up in a CCG.

It did not do this.

A new player will start by noticing funny but benign quirks like the creature Ba'al named "Ba=Al." But then you start noticing mechanical glitches baked into the mechanics of cards that are the result of programmed mechanics not matching the wording. And then there's some cards that are utterly unintelligible as written, like Quetzalcoatl:

Quetzalcoatl posted:

Boost (creature with First Attack ability that will not be obtained after ST+10)

I'll give you a fighting chance to make sense of this:

Boost is a passive ability that buffs creatures of the matching type.

First Attack is like First Strike in MTG. It's a keyword some creatures have.

ST is short for Strength, the game's version of Power in MTG (i.e. a creature's damage).

Now: I dare you to tell me what this loving card does. (No cheating if you've played the game.)

Here's what it does: Quetzalcoatl gives +10 ST to your creatures who natively have First Strike, i.e. do not gain it in combat by an item or enchantment effect.

Somehow, I love Culdcept and it is one of my favorite games.

So I started Skyrim for the first time over a month ago. This game has been out a decade, so I figured the Bethesda-rear end physics is all ironed out by now.

Five minutes into the game, the guy who gets his head chopped off ahead of the PC in the introduction clipped through the ground. The engine didn't know what to do with his body when it collided with the raven stone in this scripted cutscene that has been seen literally millions of times. Just down there, headless and T-posing. It was a wonderful introduction to the game.

To be fair, I have had very few problems with it since then. Maybe a half dozen physics sharts in 100 hours of gameplay. This engine is being asked to do a lot, and it mostly works. Still, even though it isn't an example of the physics breaking, I do love how corpses will sometimes fall in an upright position. I killed a wizard, then killed him again when his pal raised him as an undead, then I killed her too, right on top of him. This was the result:

I just hit 100 hours in Skyrim and I haven't experienced any savebloat. I've never been able to do first person poo poo with a controller very well, and I don't have a console anyway. The current, definitive PC version has been running pretty well on my middle-of-the-road, two year old laptop. My buddy has been warning me about some bugs that have never come up. For example, he said back in the day, the Dawnguard expansion added random vampire attacks inside towns. This would sometimes result in the death of important NPCs, or just NPCs you want to have around. So you could have a vampire show up in Whiterun and just waste the fucken blacksmith. The game would not give these NPCs plot armor or replace them, so if the vampire killed shopkeepers in particular, that town was just hosed. Apparently folks made mods to give NPCs plot armor for these attacks. It hasn't been an issue for me because I haven't had any vampire attacks. I have the Dawnguard content, so this version may have just wisely scooped out the annoying vampire attacks inside towns. :shrug:

I do keep experiencing some... odd behavior on the part of the town guards. Sometimes when I fast travel to a town, there's like ten guards, maybe the whole garrison, all heaped on top of each other, right next to my spawn point. They all just promptly climb off each other and go about their business, but it's weird as hell.

Maybe related to that, sometimes I'll get a glimpse of a guard blazing past me like The Flash just as I spawn into town. Like, she's covering 100 yards in a second. It's as though the game is Dark Helmet playing with dolls in that scene in Spaceballs, and the PC has barged in on them loving around with where the guards are supposed to be and then scrambling to snap them back into place in a split second.

"Did you see anything?"

"No, Todd. I didn't see you playing with your dolls again."

"Good!" :tinfoil:

UPDATE

My kid was locked in a neighbor's house. It's a house that is always locked because the owner is at her produce stand all day, and at home at night. The kid must have followed her little pal into the house and got locked in. The two kids play tag all day, so I figured maybe mine glitched into the building. I had to pick the dang lock. All three of them poured out of the door the second the lock was picked, as though even the owner was locked in her own house.

Her pet fox was left in the house, though, and I can't interact with it in any way. I can't even manually pick it up. I'm sure that will work itself out. Maybe.

So, for those keeping score, Todd Howard kidnapped her.
