been putting this one off for a while but I'm feeling like a point and click at the moment

[snoopj@hachyderm.io]

@rk I would definitely not put it in the "mean" category like the games of the 90s

[snoopj@hachyderm.io]

Like any good hacker, Nathan knows that having the manual is going to be a big benefit.

[snoopj@hachyderm.io]

Unsurprisingly, overclocking the quadcopter's CPU did not make it fly faster.

[snoopj@hachyderm.io]

Sidebar: it does rather annoy me when people say "drone" and mean "quadcopter" or any other aerial vehicle that is in fact not autonomous

I know I've lost this battle many years ago, though.

[quantensalat@scicomm.xyz]

@SnoopJ You can try to differentiate LLMs and AI in public use next lol

[snoopj@hachyderm.io]

@Quantensalat I like to put scare-quotes about "AI" to suggest the appropriate amount of contempt for the marketing catch-all

[snoopj@hachyderm.io]

okay but what if I overclocked the quadcopter's CPU harder

[20000lbs_of_cheese@freeradical.zone]

@SnoopJ you'll make a futuristic flaming arrow

[uep@timeloop.cafe]

@SnoopJ powerful cooling fans conveniently nearby

[aburka@hachyderm.io]

@SnoopJ have you tried overclocking the propellers

[aburka@hachyderm.io]

@uep @SnoopJ I work on drones for a living, they absolutely run much cooler in the air than on my desk

[gwozniak@discuss.systems]

@SnoopJ Ya gotta really slap that thermal paste on there.

[snoopj@hachyderm.io]

this game loves the "yes, but actually no" trick. overclocking harder does work, but then you need to replenish the quadcopter's liquid coolant

you know, that thing that all quadcopters have

[snoopj@hachyderm.io]

anyway, it's time to ask the BDSM couple about which sex holograms are available from the boutique AVR artist they told me about

this is a good game

[snoopj@hachyderm.io]

oh hrm, I assumed I'd have new dialogue with them, but I don't!

Nathan needs to make up his mind about what kind of sex hologram he wants. There is presumably a puzzle we would be trying to solve with this, but maybe I don't have what I need to solve it yet. Time to pull on another thread elsewhere

[snoopj@hachyderm.io]

wow, Nathan is very whiny when he does finally catch up with Jay!

[snoopj@hachyderm.io]

I did a little bit of Point-and-Click Adventure Game homework and now I'm getting a lore dump via C64-style demo.

'Hell yea' moment.

[snoopj@hachyderm.io]

this is a Bechdel test pass

[grumpasaurus@infosec.exchange]

@SnoopJ it's probably more responsive though?

@SnoopJ @MASTERBOOTRECORD is on tour in the US.
