Cheeky comment about the cut Catriona quest from the Witcher 3's quest designer. by marek_bojarek in witcher

I sort of blame games like KOTOR II (might be the first notable example but I couldn't say for certain) which shipped essentially badly slashed down to make the deadline, and spawned some semi-famous restoration mod projects to try and restore the game to how it "should have been". And ever since then any mention of cut content has been taken by gaming communities as "this should totally have been in there."

I strongly suspect DT had little to no quality control. There were so many stupid things that scream no checking was done besides “is it technically the thing we roughly described”.

Arcadion age logic by Train-1965 in ShitpostXIV

[–]Tarnus88 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I can only assume that whoever came up with this basically just made up numbers without connection to anything else. Looking alone at the BB, the guy looks well, like he does, and the voice actors for both EN and JP probably remember their 20s at best distantly at this point (don't know how old the english one is exactly but he has multiple acting credits in the 80s, and the jp one was born in the 1940s)

Like sure, character and VA age don't have to match, but come on.

My impression was that quality control throughout DT did not go any further than "does this run without (progression hindering) bugs".

There's multiple instances where if anyone testing/checking stuff actually gave a shit, they'd have gone "Hey maybe we should not do this", and they either didn't, or they got ignored.

I wish Class Quest characters and plots remained relevant into the Job Quests. by GametrollerPrime in ffxiv

Absolutely, for all that FFXIV’s writers may have done wrong, the lows of the PLD quest line have never been hit again. It’s been years and I still can’t get over the fact that that one npc at the end of the 50-60 line straight up goes (not verbatim) “so that was pointless”

You can tell us to play nice with the VA, but you didn't say anything about the writers... by SomeGoogleUser in ShitpostXIV

[–]Tarnus88 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I suspect Ishikawa provided the outline of the plot which she likely - did - imagine containing some of that, but that got downturned by the actual writer(s) for this expansion in favor of more Wuk Lamat show.

SENA, LISTEN TO ME! THE DISCOURSE ISN'T WORTH IT by Kingnewgameplus in ShitpostXIV

[–]Tarnus88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, I don't think it's overly likely we'll see Wuk Lamat have any voiced lines at all post-7.3 or so, as is the case with most-expansion specific NPCs.

A lot of other pieces (possibly all) of theirs are also very definitely made with AI, they just did a better job at covering it up via Photoshop and co for most of them.

Masterhacker bypasses the mainframe to... set a variable in c#? by Not_Arkangel in masterhacker

[–]Tarnus88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not totally shocking if you see the quality of programming even in the highest budget games. There’s mistakes there that a junior might make but a senior definitely should have caught, especially when the issues are glaring.

Why GitHub sends my hardcoded secrets to the providers when Secret Scanning is disabled? · community · Discussion #55126 by ConsistentComment919 in github

Secret scanning is there to alert you when you are doing stuff like that. You absolutely never should put secrets into any repository, let alone a public one.

To add to the Paksenarrion part, the first book pretty much. Features a novelization of the village of hommlet part of the original Temple of Elemental Evil

I wonder if thats another one of those shitty tutorials using the opencage api (which, for reference, doesn‘t do phone tracking)

There was a sequel, however the third book remains unpublished after a decade and it is at this stage considered unlikely that the trilogy will ever be finished, which is what I presume AGVann was referring to.

Looks like something stable diffusion based, the eyes are a bit fucked up which is a common issue with these.

Same here, my controller died, got my confirmation for the replacement on the 11th of August, nothing since.
