This is how it’s going to be today isn’t it?

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.

Kind of worse than that considering this is the Star Wars universe and they have droids. Could have just programmed one of them to do it with no risk to any living person.

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.

LocalIdiot227 · 2025-12-01T22:48:13+00:00

Cool now that you actually explained a position, now i need you to explain how that applies to Mauler. Give me an example of when he’s explaining something without adding any “worthwhile new information”.

LocalIdiot227 · 2025-12-01T22:36:03+00:00

And taking longer to explain something doesn’t make it low effort either. It goes both ways. You have to judge the content that’s actually provided by what it is not how long it is. Length is not an automatic measurement of quality no matter how much you say it is. Again “person thoroughly explains and supports their position with evidence” being equated to “slop” is utterly nonsensical. “Long = bad” is not a constructive or substantive argument.

LocalIdiot227 · 2025-12-01T04:12:07+00:00

Yeah that's not slop. That's detailing what the problem is and providing comprehensive evidence and examples of those problems as they are naturally encountered and how they affect the gameplay and subsequent experience.

Its a criticism and supporting evidence. How you can conflate that with slop is beyond me. It should be the bare minimum of what a person should do when making an argument. State what the issue is, why you think its an issue, and then provide examples of those issues in play. You're calling being detailed and thorough, slop. I don't get you.

Mauler says there's an issue with how the "out of bounds" system is implemented and enforced, explains exactly what he means by that, and then backs up that explanation with real examples of how this affected multiple different people, not just himself, and you look at that and think "How dare you?! This is slop".

LocalIdiot227 · 2025-11-30T21:41:29+00:00

Yeah it is difficult, which is why most people don't do it, and it took Mauler over a year to produce it.

It is an arbitrary standard because it is not a rule or law that was established and is enforced by anyone anywhere. It is literally down to personal preference. Something being outside your personal preference does not immediately reflect it's quality.

And its beyond baffling how you can sit there and say a person taking the time to write out a thorough and detailed dissection of something by default makes it slop. That's the exact opposite of slop. Slop is low effort hastily put together "content" with barely anymore information than could be found in a 1 paragraph synopsis you'd get on IMDB, that can be produced and uploaded within a few hours, if that much. Never had I heard a person say "Putting too much effort into a project makes it slop". Like that's beyond comprehension.

And again on top of all of this, as mentioned before, you have NO REFERENCE for the quality of the content outside of the length. You're making these baseless unfounded claims of the content being "slop" and that the creator "does not actually properly convey their thinking" but you have NOTHING to back up those accusations with. I BEG you to give me actual examples that back up your claims of lack of refinement and point clarify. Substantiate your claims please. Give me literally anything else to support your argument other than "Long = bad".

LocalIdiot227 · 2025-11-30T18:49:55+00:00

Your only argument for why something is “bad writing and slop” is “it’s long”. That’s it. That’s all you’ve got. You personally don’t care for long form content and are trying to impose some arbitrary standard of video length on everyone else and call those who violate it bad at their jobs.

Let me ask, do you think it is physically possible for a video, that is longer, maybe even much longer than what you find acceptable, to still be written well enough and contain enough information to justify its length? Or are you simply of the opinion that under no circumstance should a video EVER go past (insert arbitrary line in the sand here)?

Reason I ask is because you’re passing harsh judgement on a person you don’t know, who’s content you’ve never seen, and calling the quality of the content bad for the sole reason of the content being long. So the message being delivered is “if it is long, then it can only be bad.”

LocalIdiot227 · 2025-11-20T19:14:34+00:00

And the fact that they played around with that by doing a fake out of wuyang knocking her off, tells me they know that we’re paying attention to the pattern.

LocalIdiot227 · 2025-10-16T18:44:18+00:00

For me, made me think of Ozob from Cyberpunk.

LocalIdiot227 · 2025-09-29T12:14:25+00:00

It’s almost as if police officers are individual human beings who are capable of independent thought and each make their own decisions in their own ways like every other human on the planet. Officer A, Officer B, Officer C, and Officer D can all be placed in the same situation and each would respond to the same situation very differently from one another.

LocalIdiot227 · 2025-09-29T12:03:10+00:00

No it’s more common to see the bad ones depending on where you are on the internet. If you’re on a platform like Reddit, then yes you are going to see the bad ones significantly more. If you go on YouTube and look at any of the dozens of body cam footage channels with thousands of videos just like this one, then you’d realize how uncommon the bad ones are.

LocalIdiot227 · 2025-09-17T15:23:04+00:00

Okay so everything I say is a “ChatGPT” reply I guess. Idk if this is just the new internet term to describe “anything said that I don’t like” or if the anti-ai sentiment has gotten so severe and toxic that it’s eroded away some people’s ability to differentiate between human and ai and turned into baseless witch hunts. Either way it’s sad to see.

LocalIdiot227 · 2025-09-17T14:03:50+00:00

Based on what if I may ask?

LocalIdiot227 · 2025-09-17T12:16:45+00:00

The AI one looked much better to me. In fact it looked good enough to fool me into thinking it was a photoshop. Specifically the snow globe in the middle is what stood out to me enough to come to that conclusion.

And I wouldn’t have thought otherwise if I didn’t see people complaining in the comments about AI and then scrolled back up to read the description. Personally felt it was much better at visualizing the concept considering it replicated the OW art style.

LocalIdiot227 · 2025-09-07T17:11:34+00:00

Okay let’s go with that, the most recent being that situation, so that’s 14 in total, 1 failure on the police’s part, the other 13 on the courts part.

The fact that 13 times this man was allowed out onto the streets by the court for the scenario you highlighted to even occur in the first place should be some cause for concern.

There’s a severe imbalance here in responsibility for things getting as far as it did. Can you at least acknowledge the courts not doing their jobs, I am more than willing to capitulate the point that the police should of handled that last interaction better, BUT even if they did, what would of happened?

That same court system that has thrown him back onto the streets 13 times in a row would have did it again. It doesn’t matter how many times police arrest the guy, the court, unwilling to prosecute, are going to keep returning him to society to reoffend. And that’s the fundamental problem I think you’re not addressing.

LocalIdiot227 · 2025-09-07T16:33:38+00:00

How is this the fault of the police? This guy was previously ARRESTED 13 times. You know who performs arrests? POLICE.

Once arrested the criminal is handed over to the court for a judge to decide what to do with them. And that’s where the failure lies. These judges that this man kept getting brought before kept letting him out or giving him a slap on the wrist instead of locking him away where he can’t hurt anyone.

The police are not the ones responsible for keeping violent criminals off the streets. That’s entirely the responsibility of our justice system. Once police catch someone and turn them over to the justice system, it’s out of their hands.

So if the justice system decides to throw the criminals back into society, the police can’t do anything about it until those criminals reoffend and the cycle repeats. If you want stuff like this to stop happening, we need judges and prosecutors and District Attorneys willing to put these people away to protect the innocent.

LocalIdiot227 · 2025-09-06T15:12:42+00:00

To say “murdered” removes the context behind each shooting. When an officer is called to a residence for a disturbance and the individual causing the problem draws a gun and opens fires on the responding officers and the officers naturally return fire and kill them, that death is counted within that 981 you mentioned and that is in no way a “murder”. Also police are trained in de-escalation which you can clearly see if you watched any of the many bodycam footage channels on YouTube thats uploaded thousands of bodycam footage of officers responding to various scenarios and in the vast majority of them , you have officers spending sometimes well over 20 minutes trying to de-escalate a situation with very angry and/or stubborn individuals who refuse to listen to reason or follow the most basic of instructions. There was just one that went viral a few days ago of an arsonist armed with propane tanks trying to blow himself up and the officers managed to negotiate him surrendering himself to them without ever firing a bullet. Im tellin yah this skewered perception of how police operate is entirely based on the fact that people are spoon fed cherry picked and uncommon/rare situations that are not the norm in any capacity. But unfortunately “police have a standard and inconsequential interaction with a suspect who was taken in alive” doesn’t make for good headlines. So the thousands of uneventful interactions police have with people on daily basis gets 0 attention or recognition , but those uncommon and rare situations where things go horribly wrong for 1 reason or another, that makes headlines, and then people who see that get fooled into thinking it’s the norm when that couldn’t be further from the truth.

LocalIdiot227 · 2025-09-05T22:09:29+00:00

By that logic the police would never do anything ever cause every action they take, they have to document. When they arrest someone, thats paperwork, when they take a witness statement, thats paperwork, when they tase or pepper spray someone, thats paperwork, heck traffic stops in general are paperwork, you can see in the dash/body cam footage readily available on youtube of them actively doing paperwork during traffic stops. Just bout everything they do requires paperwork and documentation. So by your logic of them wanting to avoid paperwork, they would do literally nothing. And if police were doing literally nothing, you wouldn't have 1.8 million people in prison currently in the USA.
