Hi! I'm shoofle (probably) and this is a blog for me to post various video game humor things, specifically focused on glitches and exploits. Plus, eye dee kay, whatevs.
I’m playing a relatively new game and it’s still a little buggy so whenever there’s a glitch or something the devs want you to email them about it. So my game crashed and deleted my save file and when I sent the devs an email about it I got this back:
As a designer who used to be a tester, I can absolutely confirm that this is one of the three basic responses to bugs:
“Hah, that’s AWESOME!” — translation: Usually an animation or physics bug whose results are so hilarious you wonder if it’s worth just leaving it in so everyone can see it. I hope you got that on video or something.
“Oh, this shit again.” — translation: I thought I fixed this fucker like five times already. Either somebody keeps breaking it, or I’m going to have to spend all week trying to find some deeper underlying cause of it all.
“Well, that’s terrifying.” — translation: that shouldn’t even be possible, but if it is, dear sweet zombie jesus, what other things might be going wrong behind the scenes? These are the nightmare bugs that could require fundamental reworks.
I know this is about game bugs, but this somehow happened and it seemed relevant
so, they didn’t want players killing kids in the new lego star wars, so they made them immune to friendly fire damage, but they didn’t make them invincible, so now speedrunners are doing extended air combos on them to cross large gaps and climb tall structures. this has been dubbed Child Flight
