What's the actual proper term for what the thread referred to as "wage slave" - an employee paid by the hour?

D. Ebdrup posted:If only there was an English dictionary that could tell you that it's someone wholly dependent on their employment, typically employment of an arduous or menial nature. Edit - I'm not asking "what does the term wage slave even mean, I'm so confused", I'm asking "what would they even be called in-universe corporate speak". Or in our universe's corporate speak, since we're loving in the most boring of dystopias right now.

tanglewood1420 posted:Playtesting doesn't just mean hunting for bugs. It's about getting quality player feedback on the game and responding to that, whether that be tweaking combat, rewriting quests, changing layout or visual design of environments etc. etc. It's a hugely valuable resource to a developer to have an extended playtest period and CDPR have the ability as a self-publisher and the financial resources to push a game back to ensure they get it. If it's EA or Activision bullying a developer and threatening financial penalties if they miss a release window then that extended playtest/feedback/tweak loop is the first thing to go.

chitoryu12 posted:One of my favorite moments in the New Vegas thread was a guy bitching so hard that it caused JE Sawyer himself to tell him how wrong he was. And not really relevant to the question of whether the game is well designed. (The "quick" way to Vegas, filled with invisible walls and linear cliff paths, outright requiring you to learn it's possible from an outside source and save-load your way past a number of deaths, was definitely not).

Sandwich Anarchist posted:Or you could listen to what characters in game tell you, explore a little, and use the tools given to you to get through. If you explore a little, you will head down the road and run into a bunch of deathclaws, some of whom are programmed to be able to see through your invisibility device. You can spend forever banging your head against the wall, but to the best of my recollection (possibly confirmed by our lord and master JSawyer in the FNV thread) there's no intended way to get past them. You could try to avoid the deathclaws entirely and climb the mountains, but that's impossible due to the invisible walls and unscalable cliffs. Wicked Them Beats posted:Ugh what do you mean I can't just bunnyhop over this cliff and instead have to engage with obstacles the developer placed for me? Anyways, if you happen to stumble into Black Valley proper, for some reason (I don't believe it's on your map to begin with, and the path there still involves navigating past Bark Scorpions and possible wandering deathclaws, which previous experience should have told you was a cue to turn back), you will meet Neil, who outright tells you that this is a high-level area full of supermutants, and you should turn back. There's no reason to assume that they won't be able to see through you invisibility as well - for that matter, there's no reason to assume the valley contains a path of Vegas, rather than being surrounded by more impassable cliffs. But of course, if you don't make this assumption, haven't used up any of your Stealth Boys to try and get past the deathclaws, and manage to figure out the one path that allows you to leave the valley (IIRC, it's in the direction that's headed AWAY from Vegas), the whole thing is perfectly intuitive and well designed. quote:But I guess that WOULD require a little bit of thinking, and that must be pretty difficult for some.

chitoryu12 posted:Also people bitching about invisible walls seem to think they always just exist to keep you from doing fun stuff that the dev doesn't think you should be able to do. There's invisible wall remover mods for New Vegas, and they actually show what happens when you take them out: some of them were keeping you from skipping chunks of the game by platforming, but a lot of them are keeping you from falling into unreachable areas while climbing around the mountains. I've never encountered holes in the world geometry, despite having installed a mod to remove invisible walls.

necrobobsledder posted:Dialogue options being different with skill / perk choices or that may sometimes penalize one for being too intelligent / cool would be an interesting way to avoid the min-maxing tendencies of RPG players today. High tech skill could let you ask more technical questions or even allow diversional conversation tactics with the right characters. But so far I’ve mostly seen things like asking too many questions gets you killed or you need minimum skill investment to unlock a binary option of combat / no combat resolution to a conflict.

Cactus posted:Also, is dual wielding handguns even a thing irl? Does anyone actually use guns like that? I cant imagine it being practical or accurate and can only imagine it being something you might see as an obscure trickshot category in a shooting competition or some kind of talent show performance. Dont know poo poo about shooting guns though so maybe I'm wrong? If you're clearing out rooms and don't have an automatic weapon, two pistols might give you an edge. (And that's a very short summary of a subject that involves a LOT of spergin')

For Joseph (as noted above) it's the same few points reiterated, repeated, stretched out, and then recycled some more, over and over.

But I doubt that.
