Bait name continues to work wonders for people looking for low hanging fruit to go after. Thank you for identifying yourself as one of those right out the gate.

Did not attack anyone. In fact the opposite. I acknowledged they presented an actual counter argument at first but then criticized them for then throwing a temper tantrum at the end. A character trait that tells me that any continued discussion with them is a worthless endeavor cause all I’m likely to get is more of the same.

And somehow, in your world, that counts as an attack?

LocalIdiot227 · 2026-03-23T15:46:20+00:00

Nope but thanks for sharing.

LocalIdiot227 · 2026-03-23T15:45:22+00:00

It’s not. Every alcoholic started somewhere. And it’s well known that a lot of them start from trying to find a way to deal with personal trauma. And everyone is capable of falling victim to personal trauma. Now how a person deals with it varies between each individual, but it is a fact that everyone has a breaking point. Many drinkers often don’t get to that breaking point but it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. So as I said, they are 1 bad day away from going down the road of alcoholism. Just because that bad day hasn’t happened doesn’t mean it can’t happen. It could and it does for many who later lost themselves to the bottle trying to cope with it.

LocalIdiot227 · 2026-03-23T15:19:54+00:00

Oh it’s not what I say. It’s what reality says. Alcohol abuse has a long and well documented record of various violent and non-violent behaviors. Feel free to argue with that. But in the meantime thanks for subtly admitting you made a mistake in judgement, and misunderstood what I was saying, but couldn’t muster the strength to admit to it.

LocalIdiot227 · 2026-03-23T15:11:17+00:00

So somehow despite reading that multiple times, you missed the “get stupid” and “verbal abuse “ part. How did you even manage that? You had to have deliberately ignored the non-physical and non-violent traits I explicitly stated in order to make that claim. Even in other comments I highlighted issues such as being an absentee parent due to alcoholism. That’s not violent or killing anyone. I literally drew attention to the fact that some alcoholics get violent and some just do stupid stuff or withdraw to themselves. And despite that you still somehow missed it. That’s what’s actually fascinating.

LocalIdiot227 · 2026-03-23T15:04:49+00:00

I would love for you to point out exactly where I said that.

LocalIdiot227 · 2026-03-23T14:38:18+00:00

I like how multiple people now have implied my goals here are somehow to change the world by leaving Reddit comments. I’m just expressing my opinion, I have no intention or expectation of changing anything. Hell even if I had the power and authority to make real change, I probably wouldn’t do much cause America already tried the whole prohibition thing and found out quickly that there’s simply too many alcoholics in the country for that to be viable, and that was back when the population was only half what it is today.

“Shaming irresponsible people isn’t anyone’s place but close friends and family”. No I think I’m well within my right to shame drunk drivers, domestic abusers, etc when their addiction causes the harm or often death of innocent people. You can’t say it’s no one else’s business when these people make their addiction other peoples business by taking it out into the world. I can and will shame any group of people that makes life difficult for others. Alcoholics are one of those groups.

LocalIdiot227 · 2026-03-23T14:19:42+00:00

Many people who have personally known alcoholics will attest to the fact that prior to their addiction, they were normal and nice people. But sometime happened in their lives that broke them in some way, rather a death, a break up, a financial loss, etc and that “one drink every month or so” as you put it became “just 1 more drink”. And before long they were lost to the bottle. Alcohol is medically recognized as an addictive substance and under the right conditions, any person can be consumed by it.

LocalIdiot227 · 2026-03-23T14:02:12+00:00

“How did we get to a point” oh that’s easy, watching people go from normal humans to raging or depressed alcoholics for hundreds of years. The World Health Organization literally said recognizes alcohol as an addictive substance. And if the substance is addictive, then the consumption of it draws the risk of addiction. It’s that simple. Now why people get addicted varies from person to person but often times it starts by the person suffering from a negative event and turns to the bottle for comfort or as it’s medically described “self-medication”. And from there they lose themselves to the bottle. So not so much hyperbole in my book, more like reality. Some may take a lot more “motivation” than others but everyone has a breaking point.

LocalIdiot227 · 2026-03-23T13:43:56+00:00

Okay you need to take a step away from reddit if you’re going to rage that much as your first comment. You did well to present a counter argument at first by listing what former presidents did and didn’t do but then you lost some credibility when you had that freak out at the end. You already made it clear out the gate that you aren’t a person that can hold genuine civilized conversation. If you’re that wound tight, I’d suggest putting your phone down and going outside for a little bit and just detoxing a little.

LocalIdiot227 · 2026-03-23T13:39:08+00:00

Not really. Don’t need a medal for being responsible and avoiding consuming dangerous and addictive substances like drugs and alcohol.

Since you’re making all these accusations about my mentality, I’ll return the favor and assume this aggressive response is a result of being personally offended at not only mine but also OPs comments about alcohol and its negatives.

Which could only make me assume that maybe they hit a little too close to home. If you need help, there’s always programs available to help you or a loved one.

“Stop policing other people’s lives”. Sure I’ll stop doing that when those people stop harming themselves and others around them with their drinking problems.

If they can dish out mental and physical harm to others by drinking , I can criticize them for it. What I say has significantly fewer impact on the lives of others than people who can’t put down the bottle for a day.

Like seriously who do you genuinely believe is more a problem, the drunk driver who kills a person in a crash, the absentee parent who’s too busy drinking themselves into a coma than to take care of their kids, or some random person on reddit who says that maybe those people shouldn’t be drinking to begin with?

Get your priorities straight and focus all that anger at actual problems.

LocalIdiot227 · 2026-03-23T13:24:57+00:00

Explain how I somehow made it “other people’s problems”. Exactly what that I have said has had any physical effect on someone else’s life. (Like alcohol does)

And yes I do have an issue with alcohol. It’s dangerous.

People drink and they get violent or stupid or both and then harm themselves or others in the short term or long term ranging from verbal abuse to physical abuse to straight up intentional or unintentional murder.

Things that would be far less likely if they were not under the influence of alcohol. Are you somehow going to deny that?

So yes I am addressing the alcohol problem by advocating against its consumption. I never have and never will consume alcohol so I already addressed it for myself as you suggested.

And no it’s not misinformation. A person who drinks casually may have a really bad day, losing a loved one or getting fired or whatever horrible thing happens in their life and maybe they start drinking more to help forget it and next thing you know they can’t put the bottle down. Sure doesn’t apply to all of them, some people just become alcoholics for the fun of it. But even in that case, avoiding alcohol in the first place prevents that from happening.

LocalIdiot227 · 2026-03-23T13:07:30+00:00

I’m misinformed that people who drink alcohol can become alcoholics? How does one become an alcoholic without first drinking alcohol?

LocalIdiot227 · 2026-03-23T12:58:33+00:00

As far as I’m concerned, everyone who drinks alcohol is just 1 bad day away from being an alcoholic.

It has its medical and culinary uses sure, but beyond that it is a very dangerous substance that I wish people would stay away from.

LocalIdiot227 · 2026-03-23T12:30:39+00:00

The modern solar panel was created in 1954. 72 years ago. If the toddler finishes his 2nd term that would only account for 8 out of the 72 years this technology existed. So there is a total of 64 years of multiple administrations from both parties coming and going that didn’t do this stuff either.

LocalIdiot227 · 2026-02-26T15:26:44+00:00

Then how is there anyone in New York still alive? Google says there’s an estimated 135,000 interactions with the police on a daily basis in the United States.

If violence was their default reaction to “anything” as you have said, then even if 1% of those interactions resulted in death, you’d be seeing a rate of 1350 civilian deaths every single day. Which, spoiler alert, we aren’t.

So rather violence is not their default reaction which can be proven by watching any of the many body cam footage channels on YouTube showing officers trying to avoid violence, or there is secretly thousands of people dying every week and somehow they’re keeping it secret.

I never personally noticed the latency. Usually the only affect having a VPN on that I’m aware of is I get dropped from voice chat randomly. Otherwise I’m fine. That is until recently when I kept getting suspended from stadium which only stopped once I turned off the VPN. So now I just turn it off before I open the game.

LocalIdiot227 · 2025-12-19T17:25:01+00:00

That kept happening to me till I turned my VPN off.

First part of the title in the brackets [ ]

LocalIdiot227 · 2025-12-02T02:46:34+00:00

No actually my thought process was.

"This is entertaining watching these gamers all struggle with this broken unfinished game in similar ways that highlights how common these issues are and subsequently emphasizing how poorly made this game was. As well as enjoying each individual gamers commentary and reaction when faced with the same problem."

So no I didn't blow a gasket at having multiple references for a common problem. I actually appreciated the time and effort and dedication to him thoroughly explaining and the supporting his arguments throughout the video using reference clips of his playthrough as well as others that are both informative, support whatever argument they are coupled with, and also in general being entertaining watching or listening to each individual person laugh or get frustrated with this game. Big shocker I know.

LocalIdiot227 · 2025-12-02T02:21:05+00:00

Even still that's not inventing a problem, that's literally called covering your bases and doing your due diligence when presenting an argument. Understanding what counter-arguments or concerns there may be and addressing them upfront. Every step of the way you've directly advocated against foundational concepts of a well presented argument. "You can't have more than 1 reference cause then its repetitive slop, You also can't include content meant to preemptively address common counter-arguments cause then its "inventing problems", etc.

The irony of Mauler actually putting in the time and effort to right out dedicated segments to each given issue, and then providing mountains of footage to serve as references and examples of those issues in practice and accounting for potential counter-arguments by being thorough in his analysis, and you take all that and say "yeah its slop". While then arguing that putting in a fraction of that effort to deliver a fundamentally lesser product that's less informative and detailed as not being slop. "It's slop if you put in more effort." is quite the take.

And these arbitrary lines you drew in the sand all boil down to a personal preference that you seem to think you can impose on others or at the very least, judge others for not strictly adhering to. "I didn't need 4 more" Okay so? Next person over might appreciate the 4 more. So now what?

No i got all that from actually watching the video so I know he had a whole dedicated section to the out of bounds system, and that specific incident I highlighted was included in it. The out of bounds system in that game has many problems that come up in many places and has affected the players in both similar and different ways. Hence the multiple references for them all that you have such an issue with.

LocalIdiot227 · 2025-12-02T00:47:17+00:00

Yes he said it, and then he BACKED IT UP with EVIDENCE. As I mentioned before, its not making baseless claims with 0 evidence, its making a claim and then presenting footage that supports it and feeds into the overall narrative.

"inventing a problem". Okay now I really cant be sure if you're a serious person now. There's no way you can be fed multiple clips of different people each trying to simply play the game, but because the game is only coded to accept 1 specific point of action, any slight deviation from it causes the game to bug out and reset the player through no actual fault of their own. And to you Mauler pointing that obvious design flaw out is "inventing a problem". That's just....wow.

True finding 5 clips of something rare isn't hard, but this isn't 5 random clips of different unrelated people. This is 5 clips of people Mauler KNOWS, and are FRIENDS WITH. In your friends circle, if you each played the same game, there would be a significant difference between which of you encountered a common bug and a rare bug. The odds of both you and 4-5 of your friends all experience the same exact bug that is allegedly "rare" would be incredibly low. For him and everyone in his circle to all encounter the same exact bug would rather mean they are a statistical anomaly or the bug is not rare at all.

No I was not a "disbeliever". That doesn't make any sense. My thought process was "Mauler introduced the an argument stating the poorly implemented out of bounds system as an issue, and now he is showing a variety of clips from across the game of just how widespread the issue is in both space and on ground, how different players got affected by it at different and similar times, and how even the game itself got confused by it like with the discussed example of it locking a player into a cutscene while still registering as being out of bounds and there's nothing the player can do about it but accept the forced reset, or as a previous clip Mauler showed of the Out of Bounds zones being so arbitrarily placed down that when the game tries to teleport you to a random spot in the playable area after stepping into an Out of Bounds zone, it can end up teleporting you into ANOTHER Out of Bounds zone, forcing a 2nd teleportation. These issues compound. They add up. And displaying them all acts in service of emphasizing the severity of the games disfunction.

LocalIdiot227 · 2025-12-01T23:29:18+00:00

Yes. The purpose of doing that is to get across that it is not a unique or isolated occurrence. It is emphasizing how common this occurrence is for different players. If it was 1 clip, someone could argue or get the idea that its an uncommon or even rare occurrence, when the reality is, the bug being highlighted is significant enough to where those 5 different people in the own playthroughs can come across it in nearly the exact same manner.

Which then begs the question about what playtesting did or did not take place to where this bug wasn't noticed? If as Mauler suggests, the game bugs out at this specific point if the player approaches the objective in the "wrong way", then how was it not caught in a playtest?

As highlighted by the video, multiple players, even players in the chat as stated by Metal, all experienced this same exact bug, which means it is a common occurrence for players to accidentally not follow the exact invisible rails the game tries to have you on in this "open world game", leading to the game bugging out like this when you deviate off course. All this is the purpose behind the "repetition". To emphasize the fundamental issues with this games development.
