People say this, but I feel like you generally a game like this doesn't need AI much more advanced than "run towards the player while shooting its guns" to carry a single player campaign. You're not going to have the AI pull feints or flanking maneuvers, things like that are done with event triggers.

The famous "AI" of Far Cry 1 was nothing more than cleverly staged skripts, depending on the position of the player in regard of a specific area. The AI itself was as in every shooter. Run or drive at player, shoot and throw grenades until one of them dies. The illusion worked perfectly, today players still fawn over the "clever" AI of Far Cry 1

100% voluntary action in every regard by every party.

The sender voluntarily sent nudes. The receiver voluntarily posted them online.

By that logic, if you tell me where you live and I come over to your house and shoot you in the head, then you volunteered to get shot.

Shooting me would require modifying my property - my flesh. That would require authorization, else it would be a trespass.

On the other hand, if I tell you where I live, that information is now at your disposal.
'Telling everyone else where I live' would be within the list of possible outcomes that I would be aware of at the time that I tell you where I live - and if I make no agreement with you to not share that info, I would not complain if you did.
Under current law, I do not own the metadata about where I live (Unfortunately, IMO, it's public record, and I can't even copyright it).

given your obsession with current law, why are you agreeing with Cutter, when what this man did is illegal under current law?

Give me a fucking break. You choose to do something that may come back and bite in you in the ass one day then don't be surprised when your ass starts to sting. I agree revenge porn is a dick thing to do, but stop getting naked on fucking camera if you're worried about it getting out there. And these kind of judgements are way out of line. I still don't even agree with the legality of it. If you gift someone something you don't tell them how they can use it or ask for it back later on. Otherwise don't fucking give it to them/do it for them. It's a problem entirely of their own making, and the law should reflect that.

Nice victim blaming. "Date raping is a dick thing to do, but women shouldn't go on dates if they are worried about it happening."

In one the "victim" participated consequentially, and transferred high-risk property to another. That's a calculated risk, but it is still a risk.

In the other, the victim participated non-consequentially.

-scheherazade

Ugh. Really? They did not consent to it being shared.

Your analogy is flawed. It's more like a woman agreeing to have oral and being forced for sex. Or agreeing to sex but the man violates her anally without her consenting to that. She consented to one thing, he did another, and therefore it's still rape.

I just don't get why you guys want women to stop being comfortable letting you take naked photos of them. Because that's what your prudeness would bring about. Prudeness, or desperation to defend every man, no matter how shitty he is.

Notice that Cutter always, always sides with the man, with the rate exception of when the man is involved in something unrelated that Cutter feels slighted by. It always comes back to anything that Cutter may do is worth defending, but anything that may be done against him is the end of the world. Anything totally not involving him is something only snowflakes care about.

Controversial only to the immoral (which is the LARGE majority) liberals who gave up decency and morals long ago. The type of people who accept anything and everything, no matter how immoral or evil it is, just as long as it "feels good" and/or is politically correct.

When you accept everything, you will fall for anything.

"and sex workers say it will make them less safe by driving them offline."

What do you expect when you live a life of MORTAL SIN? Dance with the devil and he's going to poke you. Derp derp. Don't be a heathen and be a decent human being and you will have a MUCH better life.

Buddy, the authorities have armored personnel carriers in damn near every county in the continental US, they have automatic weapons, they have body armor. They have bombers and tanks. When you get down to it, they have predator drones. Lots of them.

Unless you own a javelin missile launcher, nothing you can buy can save you from your fever-dream nightmare.

You don't have to take on anything, you don't have to go out to fight anyone, you just have to repel or escape from the group of goons that come for you or your resources - which will not be the entire complement of the entire police force at the same place and time.

In any case, I fail to see how being completely helpless is preferable.

In the same way that on a boat I would rather have a life jacket than not have one. Odds are I'll never need it, and having one doesn't mean I'll be ok. But I know sure as anything that _if_ I needed it, I'd be super stoked to have it.

-scheherazade

A lifevest? More like a small piece of foam.

I like that you talk about this being reality in a prior post, but here talk about the police coming to take a piece of your resources, something that does not happen, and that you'd repel them with a gun.

If the cops come for something of yours unjustly, and you fight them off with a gun, do you know what will happen? Far, far worse things.

You sound like Cliven Bundy.

What happens when men with long rifles go up against the might of the US military (warning: disturbing).

Other countries don't arm everyone, and they have orders of magnitude less gun violence. We have 30,000 gun deaths a year, that's the death toll in a lot of civil conflicts. Hell, we only lost 50,000 in the entire Vietnam war.

“A month ago, we weren’t really having this conversation, and all of a sudden a 15-year-old on television who would just as soon be eating Doritos and playing video games wants to tell me that my constitution needs to be changed. Really?" Butler County Rep. Candice Keller said at a pro-gun rally in Columbus earlier this month.

He just came from nowhere, for no reason, to try and get rid of the 2nd amendment. Does that kid not even know the soul crushing pain of not being able to immediately purchase a high powered semi-automatic extended clip rifle at Walmart the very instant you want it? Of course not cause he's a hateful little millennial snowflake liberal plant.

Between her and Santorum I'm starting to wonder if there's a requirement to lack compassion for people who've undergone tragedy before you can become a Republican. I mean shit, they act like these kids didn't just experience 34 of their classmates being killed or wounded while they had to run or hide as a mad man literally hunted them. And why are they so flummoxed that people see guns as the problem? It wasn't high-velocity jellybeans, or a Call of Duty DVD that were shredding those kids' internal organs beyond repair.

It's hard to understand the horror of mass shootings when the NRA pays you to not understand.

Totally affecting the game in a very negative way. Every other game session there seems some user running one of these programs to alter the game, alter any given players stats, money, bad sport status, teleportation. I must say that insta $50 billion does come in handy in all matters but still I prefer to play as Rockstar intended.
