I actually agree, that could be pretty fun. That said this puts a lot of work / pressure on the DM so it is definitely something to be discussed rather than used to be lazy. (To be clear, I am not reading this into what you said. Just saying it out loud is all)

Remember when they promised a modding API? I sure do.

I have been looking forward to this game. I love the trucks in space aesthetic, silly as it is, and I love space games where you can leave the cockpit like that. I played a demo during Next Fest and it seemed a bit janky, but maybe they fixed it or maybe it was just me not gelling with it at the time.

Redline is unironically one of my favorite movies. It's just so silly, and I love it. "We're losing the race, what do we do!?" "What if we pressed the pedal down...harder" And then they go faster.

This is funny, but I think stereotypical vampire lore still stands. I think it's only direct sunlight that is an issue. If a vampire stands in a room with an open window, but off to the side, they're generally considered fine. If light reflected off a wall is ok then why is the moon not?

I think just because in most other cases that's how this is presented. That's at least how the journalist here presented it "And I’m not under NDA. I have signed no contracts and made no verbal agreements; I haven’t even clicked through a EULA". What you're saying is why I agree with you here, that Valve was in the right to ban him.

That might be an issue for most other companies, but press events are not really Valves thing. Probably not much fear on his part there.

I think Valve banning him in this case is reasonable. It's an invite only free to play game. That said, clicking ok on some random text box is not a binding contract. Companies like to frame it like it is, but it's not.

I really really like this game, but is it ready for 1.0? Last I played a few months ago the simulation felt...lacking. The structure seems there, but things like NPCs walking around their apartments at all hours of the night make things difficult, as an example.

It does still work, and my gut says it's going to work for a long time. Unless they majorly re-kajigger the way windows works in future versions

I don't think it being hard is really the issue. Sony is a billion dollar multi-national corporation and they don't get any benefit of the doubt whatsoever. Is it hard? Maybe it is, but maybe they should have thought of what they were going to do in the future when they were designing this. As was pointed out elsewhere, volunteers making an open source emulator are managing it so Sony not wanting to, or being unable to, isn't an excuse.
