“People were complaining that I sent them to fetch me a sandwich every five minutes, so we listened to their complaints and next game, the player character will have no legs and thus not be able to move anymore.”
You now have a one-quest-long window to do these three steps in order otherwise you will never be able to complete this quest line due to missing out on the item that’s only available if you use this specific thingamajig on the other thingamajig in the hidden room. There isn’t any indication of that in the entire game, except that some quest will never ever finish and be stuck on the vague “find x things” stage forever. If you google how to finish the quest in thirty hours of game time, you’re just SoL. Better luck next run.
What exactly is the “role” one is playing here? Diviner? Psychic reading the game dev’s mind?
“Well, you can’t prevent all assaults in the world, so why shouldn’t I punch you in the face now?” is a rather defeatist point of view.
Won’t SOMEBODY think of the poor, poor monopolists who so far made their money exploiting the alternativeless victims at their mercy? Why would their prey give them way too much money now, eh? Socialism! Terrorism! All the bad words, what’s in right now? Woke? DEI?
Google: “You wanted words? Here are some words!”
Oh, they’d never do anything as sinister as that. That may still be illegal (if the ultra-rich lobbying hasn’t taken care of that obstacle by that point).
Instead, they’ll just make sure that whatever essential core service they’ve built a monopoly in by just muscling the poorer competitors out of the race will cease to be offered to you if you refuse to hand all your money over to them.
See also: insulin, hospital treatment, etc. This is just a new playing field to find old prey in.
Sure, the possibilities are endless, so the first thing we’ll get that has any research money and effort put into it is how to turn it into an advertising platform and then maximally enshittifying it as soon as there’s a market share to speak of.
It’s fiiiiine, I wouldn’t want a stupid brain chip that’s NOT on fire anyway. Looks much cooler and I bet that’s just how Daddy Elon planned it to be.
Have you considered upgrading to the Ultra Premium Deluxe Version? For just 99.99- a month, you can actually use what you bought!
Yeah, but it’s a straight terrible port from a mobile game with a solid gacha foundation and Baldur’s Gate skins tacked on. Also you need to subscribe and pay a weekly fee to get access to the premium lockboxes that may or may not (spoiler: they do not) give you the characters/skins/whatever that you actually came for. Everything is time-gated unless you pay more of the premium currency to be allowed to grind more for a chance that won’t proc anyway unless you go into debt to buy enough crates.
It kinda does feel like spez is just testing how much he can squeeze out of the leftover marks at reddit before leaving the carcass out to dry.
No, you’re seeing this the wrong way. The iceberg stands for urgently needed structural reforms in the body of the Titanic. After the project is completed, they’ll make movies about the whole thing, you’ll see!
Have enough money and the number of people pretending to take you seriously will skyrocket proportionally.
“You can either side with the Stormcloaks or the… hey, where are you going?”

“Wait, what was that quest in the journal about again?”
“My profits from fencing your wallet could not exist if stealing your wallet were punished.”
“Ah, you’re right, how silly of me, carry on.”
WON’T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!! I am clearly loudly screaming about the children, so anybody who is against me with their logic or reasoning or well-founded objections must then obviously be AGAINST the children because these are the only two (2) options that exist. So you better shut up and take whatever abuse I can dish out because you don’t wanna look like a terrorist! Or a pedophile? I forget what boogeyman we’re currently using as an excuse to get people to agree to taking away their rights.
No, it’ll be running THAT cave from DA2 over and over, but this time in different colours!
