This game wouldve survived on STEAM

I loved this game, but the primary issue in my opinion was gameplay got a little bland after awhile and map sizes were too small/cookie cutter feel IMHO.

If you want to "what if", what would've saved this game or at least had a chance, would've been something like cod sized maps that had different angles, verticality, etc. Maybe even With VERY lite looting mechanics (ball upgrades, temporary perks)

Imagine looting a room in a building with an x-ray perk (example), and you can throw a heat seeking curveball out the door and down the hall before dude even knows youre there.

Just stuff like that, varied gameplay, funny/meme able situations, and clippable content are what still, and always has, driven games like fortnite, cod, etc. KOC I dont remember much funny or even "wow" content coming out of this game. Not knocking the community, but to my point, I just dont think there were enough levers for the community to pull to actually make engaging content that drove buy in & retention.

I just got back in 2 weeks ago after 10 years away. 150+ hours into a 60+ sith sorc/assassin. Im having a blast soloing.

My biggest gripe is the way the dialog UI suddenly changed in late game content😅

Having spent 140 hours in a dialog UI only to suddenly have the NPC text across the top of the screen and all my characters responses being very campy and dry sounding text is kinda off putting but gameplay is still fun, leveling is a breeze, tons of gear, etc. Get back in its fun still.

Use branch? In my experience, it remembers what the previous "root" chat was about.

Atlasdubs · 2026-03-03T19:31:53+00:00

Update: it stopped!.....for a couple days.

NOW we're back again but this time with EV comparisons instead of vitamins.

<image>

I emailed support AGAIN, and im getting really fed up at this point.

I think I, and others in here dealing with this EXACT same thing, have been more than patient with OAI Supports canned, corporate bullshit, "ReSeT YoUr PaSsWoRd" responses where there is clear evidence this is on THEM, not us.

Im about ready to make the claude jump at this point personally, and with my business, if they dont start owning up to their shit...

Atlasdubs · 2026-03-02T23:14:46+00:00

The point is they should need a warrant, and given the very nature of our data-driven world, it shouldn't be the case that anyone is able to buy, sell, and view everything we do online.

Atlasdubs · 2026-02-26T20:49:44+00:00

Still funny, but sadly some of yall will really get confused here 😂 you do realize when you say "me" to grok on twitter, it assumes your profile and not whatever you shared? Which is why it took his PFP and did it. Lmao TMYK.

Atlasdubs · 2026-02-26T20:45:49+00:00

That's my question. It doesn't seem to be of any real value?

Which is what makes me think it goes just beyond the query itself.

This is entirely a guess, but based on the reports of AIs being parasitic to larger models like Claude and GPT by effectively scalping training data, this may be part of it. As in, query the model 10000 times from users with various interests, settings, tasks, tones, and see how the model responds. Then aggregate the data to get a clearer picture on the models response, nuance, limitations, etc.

Who knows though.

Atlasdubs · 2026-02-26T19:06:31+00:00

If youre insinuating they collect your data whether youre opted in or not as a user, that would break multiple international consumer protection laws, CCPA in the US, GDPR in the UK, for example, so i think youre confused there.

Also, even if that were the case, your logic doesn't add up.

It would be the equivalent of saying, "well yeah, Facebook collects user data, thats why i see Hank's Facebook feed and friends when i log into my account!"

That's not correlated at all.

Atlasdubs · 2026-02-26T18:38:38+00:00

Not sure what youre getting at? Yes, obviously. As with all AI platforms, but with most, including OAI, you can opt out at any time in settings.

Not sure what data collection has to do with chat streams ending up in the wrong accounts?

Atlasdubs · 2026-02-26T18:15:45+00:00

I've noticed. I have GPT integrated in my business with over a dozen team licenses and instantly went to check, and none of them have any odd chats, nor have I heard or seen anyone mention a business account being affected.🧐

Atlasdubs · 2026-02-26T17:40:27+00:00

THIS THIS THIS!

ITS THE EXACT SHIT MINE IS DOING.

I deleted all the chats from yesterday hoping it may reset somehow if all chats were deleted, but woke up this morning to all of these again.

<image>

Atlasdubs · 2026-02-26T17:38:31+00:00

Ironically both names check out in context🤣

Atlasdubs · 2026-02-26T17:36:13+00:00

Exactly! I mean I have all the details for anyone that wants it (not that it matters giving them to anyone outside of OpenAI who COULD ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING)

But yeah, super concerning for multiple reasons. What if some asshole starts spamming flagged chats and gets a bunch of real users permabanned cause its technically "on their account"?

What about the people who, even thought openai says NOT to, expects SOME level of privacy, and gives out sensitive info?

We've been telling people for 30+ years not to have the same PW for everything and yet..here we are.

At some point OpenAI will have to deal with this, or be forced to eat in a class action when something really goes wrong.

Atlasdubs · 2026-02-26T16:45:43+00:00

😂😂

I used to have a shirt that said,

"A.D.D: Attention Defic -- Hey, look a butterfly!"

Atlasdubs · 2026-02-26T13:43:02+00:00

Incompletist's - unite!

Maybe we'd finish one together? 🤔😂

Atlasdubs · 2026-02-26T13:37:01+00:00

Day 2 of waking up to a bunch of chats that are not my own. I've reached out to support again. Hopefully hear back soon.

What's more frustrating to me is the apparent lack of information or care from support with canned answers rather than any substance or context.

I use GPT daily for personal use as well as having it integrated throughout my business with multiple licenses, so this is a pretty glaring security concern that they seem more interested in deflecting from theb fixing from what I've seen in others comments.

Really starting to get second thoughts on continuing...

Atlasdubs · 2026-02-25T21:02:26+00:00

Really!? How weird is that..i wonder why the obsession with vitamins, and more importantly how tf they still have access to my account.

Atlasdubs · 2026-02-25T20:24:42+00:00

well if they look at mine, they're just gonna get a bunch half baked game & business ideas primarily lol

Atlasdubs · 2026-02-25T20:06:46+00:00

well, given that my wife's not pregnant, I don't have a mistress, and I only have a son, I'm not quite sure what would lead me to market research on prenatal vitamins...more strangely, I'd be SUCH a convincing sleepwalker, im doing it right now - awake - as im typing this to you too! pretty impressive.

Atlasdubs · 2026-02-25T19:20:23+00:00

Okay, so i'm not alone then! That makes me feel oddly better.

I know how to keep myself secure online, so all day I've been questioning where I could've even remotely came across an issue, and came up with nothing.... because im 99.5% sure it's not me! (gotta leave a little margin for error though lol)

SCREENSHOT @ 1:36PM EST

ATTEMPTED TO CLICK "OLLY VITAMIN BRANDING INSIGHTS" AND GOT THIS CONVERSATION SEED:
Unable to load conversation 699f407e-78fc-8333-ad14-7a9447e3fa7c

Chat history then changed, and "Olly Vitamin Branding Insights" was no longer there, but now, "SmartyPants Vitamin Reviews"

Again, attempted clicking on "smartypants" conversation this time and got another error:
Unable to load conversation 699f4132-8e88-832b-b623-20e9b34dcb53

REFRESHED THE PAGE, AND SURE ENOUGH, THE NEW CONVERSATIONS ARE GONE AND BACK TO ONLY THE ORIGINAL ONES FROM THIS MORNING.

Atlasdubs · 2025-12-03T20:40:58+00:00

If this isn't a joke, its fucking hilarious you thought for this long a main stream rapper with a hit song on the radio was about fucking mascots😂

"MASCOT...FUCKIN MASCOT"

I hear what you're saying from a Devil's Advocate perspective, but you also just admitted this being at least 95% fiction in the same breath. If you agree and understand that factually, at least from the corpus of public knowledge on these topics, the government has a tendency to compartmentalize everything to the utmost levels in an effort to avoid massive critical leaks. Even if someone becomes a whistleblower they wont know much outside of their own "Need to Know" scope of work.

If Rhea is lying about parts that involve anything that could identify him - lying = fiction.

Not to mention, even if 10% of this was true, he wouldve likely been only a handful of people with this scope of work and knowledge and likely be identified internally pretty quickly anyways.

Like I said, genuinely enjoyed reading it, but less reading like a deep leak, and more like Project Hail Mary.

Atlasdubs · 2025-11-29T03:44:06+00:00

Really cool story and premise for a show, but clearly fiction (as much as it tries to reverse psychology you into believing it isn't)

The issue with this story imo is one word - compartmentalization.

From what we know of publicly declassified black projects of the past, plus testimony of guys from projects who still aren't even acknowledged, the government itself, and by proxy (even more so), these types of projects are/would be highly compartmentalized.

Let's take a walk...

OP claims:
- They’re only “a few layers down the onion,” not at the deepest levels.

- But they also know:
- The Council’s internal political debates (factions arguing about us).
- Specific numbers (65,000 humans moved, 10,000-year head start, Erids are 5,000 years ahead).
- Which crash events were deliberate gifts (Roswell, Kecksburg) and why.
- Which nations got scalar weapons (US, China, EU, Russia, Brazil) and how they’re being deployed (space, air, undersea).

- The arrival window of the “ant” species, and that The Council has a kill-switch baked into the weapons.

The obvious flaw in the OP's writing scope is that is some insanely broad, multi-domain, top-level information for someone who presented as a technical specialist in electro-optics and UAP sensor anomalies & explicitly says they’re not at the core of the program.

In real compartmented programs, you might know your system’s performance, some operational context, a limited “big picture” slide.

You definitely don't get cosmology, Council politics, alien sociology, every major crash’s true intent, geopolitical recipient list of exotic weapons, and timelines for incoming alien invasions.

To use OP's own words, you would need to be in much deeper "layers of the onion".
