We're talking about memory recall, not mind control. Memories are fundamentally unreliable and are very easy to influence, intentionally or not.

Hypnotics regression absolutely 100% does not work. You're creating false memories, which is incredibly easy to do. Human memory is very, very, very fallible. This nonsense is exactly what triggered the satanic panic in the 70s, where there was a sudden proliferation of stories of childhood ritual abuse all coming from this kind of hypnotic regression, and every single one turned out to be complete fabrications from the subjects being hypnotized.

Yeah, definitely, I'm not questioning the leaks as a whole, just this story. Big leaks like this are a great opportunity for trolls to throw made up stuff in the mix to try to get it to go viral.

These couple stories just seem really disjointed and without any real structure or meaning. It could certainly be just a mediocre writer playing around at writing fairy tales, or maybe I'm missing context due to translation or something, but I don't know, just kinda reads like AI written stuff to me.

I have a real hard time believing these are real. Those stories are nuts, but in a completely nonsensical way. They seem like AI generated spooky stories to me, someone just trying to jump in on the leak drama.

I think moreso an opportunity for developers of specific genres to get attention in an increasingly crowded marketplace.

Don't know why the headline is so shitty, but the "mmo" seems to be a splatoon-like multiplayer game unrelated to pokemon.

Did that have any effect on your game? Minor UI issues are pretty common in plenty of games, I personally can't see that as much of an issue. Certainly not the game-breaking bugs of launch Oblivion and Skyrim

Did you even play it, or are you just jumping on the hate bandwagon? It's hardly perfect, but I literally didn't find any significant bugs in over 20 hours of playtime. The game has plenty of fundamental issues certainly, but the bugs are more of a meme than anything.

Just look at the mod sites to see how many bugfixes are out there. It's been improved in the years since it launched, but it's far from a bug free game.

Admittedly haven't played it yet, but BOTW was absolutely a masterpiece.

That said, the NPC scripting and interactions are way simpler than Bethesda games, and there's very little in terms of even marginally open ended quests. It's a great open world, but it's pretty on rails story wise outside the order in which you tackled areas.

That she has absolutely no control over. In case you've forgotten, she's the VP, and has no fuctional control in the government besides casting the tiebreaking vote in the Senate.

But do go on shilling for Trump, I'm sure he'd be proud of your obvious disinterest in truth.

Well yeah, that's what happens when you make enormous games with basically no player safely rails. With unrestricted freedom comes unpredictable interactions and inevitable bugs. Feel free to point out any other game that comes close to the scale of a Bethesda game without being full of bugs.
