Pretty sure I’ve mentioned this before but there’s a game called Watch Dogs 2, about hackers, where you can join any players game posing as NPC.. and hack the player.

Pretty sure I’ve mentioned this before but there’s a game called Watch Dogs 2, about hackers, where you can join any players game posing as NPC.. and hack the player. I love it, it’s so dumb. The other player has to try to profile that you’re not an NPC before you steal all their data.

They turned off the leaderboards years ago but I was the top player as I love dumb time wastes.

Anyway, something I learned from covertly watching other players - people are not okay they do.. stuff in games.

@GossiTheDog I've not played it, but getting Hudson Mohawke to do the OST is a top tier move.

My most successful hacking technique in the game is drive up in this taco truck, turn off the engine and don’t leave it. Then I call the cops, and some gang members, to the outside of the truck - then turn on some cheerful Mexican music on the radio. The players are so confused about the unfolding chaos they don’t notice me in the taco truck most times.

@GossiTheDog my latest stuff to do in games is drive legally on Los Santos roads in GTA Online. You get randomly cut off a lot less. I’ll still run stoplights but I will typically honk my horn through the intersection to warn drivers.

But yeah I’m doing great irl thanks for asking

@GossiTheDog It was one of the few features of that game I loved. It's like the Sniper Elite 5's invasion mode. So much fun

@GossiTheDog So that was you, clever. I was indeed confused at the chaos.

@GossiTheDog yep, you mentioned this before because I remember giving the game a go based on your comments
