God this is horrific.

Of course, French went out and protested anyway, lol. Did they really think they can stop the spirit of resistance in France of all places? It's laughable. The government may be going off the deep end, but that doesn't mean all French are, thank God.

Various members of my family worked on this instrument - super cool to see it in the news!

Exactly. I literally don't understand why people even care about save scumming (and the name is ridiculous to me too lol). It's like my favorite part of the game. I love being able to relax and know I can mess around without completely fucking my game over. I get to explore everything to the fullest. If someone wants to be a hard ass about it, they can just...not reload?

I read this as someone being real mad that the game is chaotic, and it's like, that's the best part about the game to me? There's no ACTUAL DM, so the next best thing is what in my mind I'm calling the "death loop" system, just being able to go back and load a different save. At a game table the DM would, within reason, find a way to work with PCs being ridiculous; since it's not possible to truly replicate that, the game just embeds chaos in the decision trees instead. That's literally what makes it so fun. Most of the time the game is telegraphing what the real dumbass choices are, but I like how it's not always immediately obvious. It keeps me on my toes. And sometimes I just save before choosing the stupidest option simply because I want to watch that shit play out.

I just feel like they've fundamentally misunderstood the point here.

Would really appreciate it if this article had actual links to supporting articles/documentation. I can't find anything recent in the news that corroborates this number. Admittedly I didn't look too hard, but still - OP do you have any additional sources here? This website is vague af

Is anyone else really confused why so many people are concerned about this when the Earth is literally boiling away and fascists are integrating themselves into every government system? I'm not saying we should be completely ignoring this concern but I just do not understand the obsession with it. My dad keeps talking about the AI singularity and I'm like that's the least of our problems right now? Maybe that's just me but...
