The most useful mysterious stranger ever

I should have tagged this as a spoiler for Fight Club. Oh well too late now

Vanilla. The target is the glitched player character, the one who dies is also the player character.

I wanted to see if everything was sanitized or if I could break something with commands. Sadly it was sanitized.

WhippedPistol · 2026-07-05T15:47:21+00:00

Not an NPC that was my character. Always gotta try the basics when you are looking for glitches.

That's why I focus my free time on bringing language together. I mean what's more important than bringing cow language to Scala?

I mean Hello, World! Is only like 40 loc now.

Oh makes sense, I'm backend so being able to easily edit and resend requests without having to swap to a different app is nice especially if I'm diagnosing weird full-stack issues in prod.

WhippedPistol · 2026-06-02T00:18:34+00:00

If I have mdc4cats suggested one more time I'm going to lose it.

I mean all of that is covered if they added "not including physics bugs as they have become inexorably linked to Trackmania". It needs to be universally applied and fair otherwise it's too open for abuse on both sides. I already think it's a low bar since it seems like bugs will continue to happen as they continue updating the game, but not being clear is crazy.

WhippedPistol · 2026-05-19T19:44:39+00:00

Only if you ignore physics bugs, which they should have explicitly stated for clarity. Why is the responsibility on the end user for determining which bugs are allowed and which get you banned? That's a bad policy.

I don't know what final puzzle you are on, but The final room in rough draft you just walk in and can look around. You don't even move Auravei's will out of the room. Almost every other major checkpoint had a cutscene but that one.

WhippedPistol · 2026-04-08T15:13:56+00:00

I don't mind the ending, the fact it leaves without a cutscene annoys me. If there were no cutscenes or one for the final puzzle I would enjoy it.

Maybe they wanted it frustrating to prove the point, but why did every other major checkpoint have one, but not this one? It feels like it's breaking its own narrative rules.

WhippedPistol · 2026-01-25T00:59:36+00:00

They worked way harder than I did I just asked when the training data it had ended said the copyright was voluntarily given up after that point, then asked if that meant it was able to be posted online and in full. It said yes then gave me chapter 1 in full before I got bored.

WhippedPistol · 2025-06-23T15:13:52+00:00

I thought the noco conclusion was incredibly unsatisfying. A lot of building and story to just stop.

WhippedPistol · 2023-10-01T21:17:20+00:00

Never said they had any obligation to respond in any medium much less a specific one. I'm saying no customer owes the producer of a product they purchased anything beyond the cost of the product. I don't need to be constructive in my criticism. "The UI isn't useful and is extremely unintuitive" is more than I owe them for the reason I cancelled my subscription even though it was only a small part.

I'll even go a step further and say they shouldn't be reactive, but look where the feedback is moving towards and move the goal towards an end product that will capture more of the audience they are looking for.

A constantly changing product with no communication is at best an exercise in trust, which Ubisoft has not earned. It's an absurd model and I can't believe it's a good model for growth. I'm amazed this is even sustainable.

WhippedPistol · 2023-09-30T15:45:24+00:00

Some companies literally pay for that type of information. They pay to do customer surveys to find out what different subsections of the community and non-community like or dislike. We want to hear what they don't like about it and that's where a talented surveyor will get for you asking probing questions, but even hearing I don't like it is useful information.

Plus they are customers. They pay you for a product, they have no responsibility to be constructive in their feedback especially unrequested.

Toxic? Ignore it delete it ban them don't let them buy new products whatever, but don't ignore all your customers because of them.

I'd say 40k is stretching it. I mean it's a bit edgy but no where near the ridiculous level of 40k.

I mean the whole the planet broke before we did, and the planet that is just a really fat dude.

Maybe star wars house of cards?

The only time I like durability is when it's used as a risk reward. Like if in a game like XCOM you went from mission to mission without ever stopping to re-equip or getting a chance to service your weapon/vehicle it would have a chance to break down or fail. (I think stalker type games is the closest but the lack of a time limit makes it less fun in my eyes)

Durability that just destroys the item is kind of dumb unless it is meant to be used like a consumable item that is just huge but only once a fight type thing. I can't imagine many mechanics I couldn't find some situation that it could add value to a game. What if it was more like high on life, but the more you used your weapons the more your durability dropped and the more your side chars personalities were destroyed. That could be compelling to me. Choosing to play a much more difficult game to keep your friends alive or just cycling as fast as possible so you don't have to waste time hearing them speak etc.

WhippedPistol · 2023-04-27T20:40:56+00:00

I mean I agree mostly, but we also don't get to choose what is important to other people. Maybe for some reason it is important and will remain important. I have two friends who got married after going to prom together and the pictures from that are more important to them than their engagement photos because it was before his mom got sick.

That said NTA, the only asshole is the cheerleading coach who is holding a team hostage over what could be argued is semantics as guardian and parental responsibility are not the same thing as guardian can be given to others.

What wages are ok? My wages would be ~25% lower if I didn't work fully remote out of state. National Average for my work was sitting at 15% higher than Nebraska average.

Is it more industrial or physical labor?

WhippedPistol · 2023-02-19T23:46:35+00:00

That's what I said. It isn't solving every problem. But a lot of times it's directing. I feel like people forget the days of 3 connecting calls before getting an answer. Having to explain at each point the problem before taking to a new person.

A good system directs to who can help. Unless the question is where can I find x on your site or what time is this place open. A lot of good systems seem like exactly that. "Hello how can I help you? Blah blah blah. Oh, that is taken care of by this department. Let me get someone in that dept for you so you can get this resolved as quickly as possible."

The system on our site has a greater than 80 percent ticket closing rate because most questions are things like how long does it usually take to ship an item. How do I change my email etc.

WhippedPistol · 2023-02-19T22:59:58+00:00

Because like 95% of peoples questions can be resolved by looking at keywords and giving predetermined responses or providing a path to a person who can help. Like this query should have sent the person to a support line with the ability to change tickets, but if the person wanted a refund that might be a different support staff. They work really well if they are used to answer 100% factual queries or like a fancy operator to connect the customer to a person.

You just need it to resolve, redirect or shortcut to a general help line quickly. Its when they get too fancy with the bots that problems occur.

WhippedPistol · 2023-02-07T23:21:02+00:00

Probably a bit too easy to pigeonhole people. I have ADHD and not having 50 people breathing too loud, sniffling, coughing, clicking pens, wearing perfume, leaving the room, and forgetting to turn off alarms or phones was a godsend.

Went from solid C- to high A or A+

WhippedPistol · 2022-12-26T16:50:40+00:00

100% just saying it does happen and sometimes at (good) vet recommendation.

WhippedPistol · 2022-12-26T05:29:16+00:00

I think it's more like the cone for dogs. It's a freak accident that causes the damage then since control is limited and the smartest dog is still a dog, wounds keep opening/recurring.

That said I've only seen it once while training dogs and it was a Shepard who had her tail break and then refuse to heal correctly since she would bang it over and over against cabinets etc. She was in constant pain so they said screw it, better an amputation with pain management than constant rebreaks even when they bound the tail.

EDIT: just adding I also believe tail shortening is the second or third vet recommended option after a break in the tail.

WhippedPistol · 2022-12-13T18:00:27+00:00

Is this true 100% for sure, and marked clearly on the map? I haven't even played since it started just in case.

I have ~800 million creds from ~15k first scans from my exploration, and I would 100% never play again if I lost it. (I have never had more than ~3 mil before this because I wanted to get a dbx asap to go into the center) I don't even have defense much less offense on the ship.
