YTPB is a comm. Search for You Power Trippin Bastards.
Good entertainment to be had there.

Go look at the mod’s profile page. That’s where I got that.
Honestly, I think its a bullshit statement, so I called him out.
And then you ate the onion.

i have all predictive text disabled everywhere i can find such a setting.
and i don’t swipe.
mine works fine.

Man, I agree with you, but these are the rules:

“All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed.”

How you execute a consistent set of policies when the rules say you don’t have to be consistent is beyond me.

There’s something subtly wrong here. Hmm…

I was recently banned from some vegan comm for using the word ‘moron’. Same justification.
They told me to fix my comment.
I said no.

I’ll accept that. People suck in general, but its the only game in town.
I’m perfectly happy to see the entire dating app thing die under a flood of slop and abuse.

Oh, that will get ya banned.
Cya on YPTB. :]

Good men don’t need rules?

You’ve missed the big one. Those aren’t people.
They are AI fronts for orgs of various size that will scam you for whatever opportunity they may discover.
You can’t fix that. Try developing something that helps people instead of another platform to use them.
You want to help people meet? Open a bar.

Oh no! Where will I find an AI girlfriend?

I think I figured it out.
Look where the legs are. The chair started out facing parallel with the floorboards.
And then the AI turned it to slightly face the fire.
The AI doesn’t understand continuity and what components are connected, so it all came apart.
Kinda like if you took a square construction of loose wooden blocks and squished it to a parallelogram.

Well in this game, there was the chair (see my other comment) that no human would sit in.
There are other tells that process that doesn’t understand the continuity of solid objects created the game, not a person.

• You can walk through most of the walls and half of the scenery. Walls don’t normally work like that.
• The explorer skeleton in the twisty maze room simply is not there. He should be sitting beside the key that’s nearly fukin impossible to find because there’s no skeleton next to it, despite the room description saying he’s there.
• The paddle for the inflatable raft is in two pieces, the blade sits about a foot from the shaft it should be attached to.
• The diamond mill output is … nothing. It’s just a spot on the floor, uncomfortably far away and disconnected from the mill.
• The area where you have to deal with coal gas is just a complete fail, the AI did not understand and just made some crap.

.
There were two other questionable bits where I don’t remember the original game, but it seems the AI flubbed. The 4 button dam controls were wonky: stop, start, bust the pipe, and what? And the cyclops room has a door you never get to open, no info about it.
All together, these seem like things no human would get wrong. Like, maybe a human would make a shitty chair, but they would almost certainly ensure that all the pieces fit together before they published the game.

My favorites are the Round Room that is square and the chair beside fireplace in in the house.
Like wtf is this cubist nightmare?

One thing I do NOT miss is navigating the twisty passages. The maze has been compressed to one room.

Hit L to turn out your light.
If you are holding the ivory torch, it just switches between the lamp and the torch, but if you only have the lamp, the light goes out.
And then the grue shows up.

I saved this for last. After I finished the game, I left the light off.
The grue shows up like three times and finally just eats you.

Upon further reflection, I think dying to the Grue was my favorite part of this game.

I played Zork a lot back in the day. You know, before the dawn of time.
This adaptation has one thing going for it. It plays a LOT faster than the original text game.
So far, I’ve not been told I’m likely to be eaten by a Grue. (This happens when you turn out the light.)

Finished it. About 2 hours of playtime.
The whole game is absolute shit. I cannot recommend it. But I did have fun.

Where’s the beans?

Ketchup sucks. And they spell it funny.
