Exactly what I thought when I heard about it lol

The matrix is getting more and more real every day

Wait there’s a “free” world??

I know I loved that game!

Ha well it was more of a “oh crap we need to bring him back ASAP” kinda thing to get my job back. And as others said this was all mainly for fun thinking about it. The intrusive thoughts

I used to build automation tools (shudderVBAshudder) that the “proper” technology wouldn’t be bothered to make. Over 15 years I had over 200 tools built out. I had tied all my code to a single file that I would use to keep everything updated. I had imagined in so many ways of setting up a dead man’s switch to start slowly corrupting and degrading everything or to just implode everything… Would have worked except our company got bought out and everything became useless and I got laid off lol. Got a nice pay check out of it

I still have several sessions that I have on repeat in my memories, most just walking through the forests and hiding from random parties, or trying to hunt someone from the random gun shots

And like you said the map is immense but If I was dropped in the same place in real life I would know my way around immediately.

This is right up there with portal on the n64

Ha never owned one until my parents got me an XBox which was my only console. PC4Life

Lol it really did, software engineer here

Things can definitely change, but I’ve got half a dozen games that still run that you can’t get on steam anymore. You can also add games that steam doesn’t sell so I get the skepticism but so far they’ve been good

Can’t wait for anti cheat to work with Linux ☹️
