I would say the cop is just doing his job. He asks for the driver's licence and the driver just refuses, because he sees no reason why he should. In Germany you can always be asked your licence without any reason, so I don't get why the driver is pissed. Just show you f***ing licence and be done with it. In my opinion the driver is in the wrong here.

Why oh why do people steer in the direction of danger, instead of the opposite way (to avoid it)? Note that I am not immune from this. When playing games, I frequently find myself accidentally strafing in the direction of projectiles when I should be moving the opposite way. This person would have been fine if they had viered left instead of right, into the oncoming path of the guy.

Well, in a situation like this, people just do without thinking. If you have never been in a similar situation, your brain just takes a random direction. If the driver gets into the same situation again, it is quite possible that the brain will decide to go into the other direction. The other problem is, the driver could not know in which direction the other driver will try to evade, so this was more of a "two people try to evade each other in the same direction and stand awkwardly in front of each other" situation. Just with cars...

"People clicked the red X, but the free offer was about to expire, so we just forced it onto them." lol

 

 

 

If I did that, it would be criminal. But corporations do not commit crimes, they only make mistakes. And it is only a "mistake" when their bad behavior doesn't earn them enough to offset the penalties (if any)!

When I was more stupid than now I was confused how the hell Garrett who is weak guy(in my gameplays) can lift a body. Now when I am wiser how much strength you need to use a bow I get how strong he is.

"I really perceive that vanity about which most men merely prate — the vanity of the human or temporal life. I live continually in a reverie of the future. I have no faith in human perfectibility. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active — not more happy — nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. The result will never vary — and to suppose that it will, is to suppose that the foregone man has lived in vain — that the foregone time is but the rudiment of the future — that the myriads who have perished have not been upon equal footing with ourselves — nor are we with our posterity. I cannot agree to lose sight of man the individual, in man the mass."...

Not an expert negotiator or anything like that, but I think this cop did a shitty job trying to talk her down.

Instead of constantly disagreeing with her (you're not, you're not, you're not), he should have tried to use reason. Throwing it in the person's face that they're wrong without any explanation as to why is likely to only escalate things. Also, this isn't like diffusing a bomb that's on a set timer. Talking someone out of suicide can't be rushed. The slower you take things, the more successful you're likely to be. Taking things too quickly will only cause escalation. Try talking to them about (other things). Ask them if they want something to eat/drink. Slowly make a connection with them and then move up from there.

Always fun to see people push things further than they were designed to go...

 

 

frame rate is very good, but he's "cheating", by using a custom made cartridge with a more powerful processor that's doing the work. Many old console games worked this way; shipping with co-processors to augment the system.

 

Impressive skills either way.

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
