A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how? (lemmy.zip)

I know I remember seeing some people talk about how nice some of the environments in Hitman were, and that they'd just walk around as a tourist from time to time, treating it like a walking simulator/virtual tourism thing instead of the stealth assassination game it is. Curious about other things like that, where you play a game totally differently than it was meant to be played.

There is literally an AI vending machine. How is that different from a fridge? And that being the case, how can you say it can't run this chip? Ya just can't. Because there's a huge plot hole there. Unsuspend your disbelief for a moment. Think about it. ... and think of the fun if we installed Johnny in that stupid talking gun.

The chip specifically interacts with human brains on a biological level. It's not a "normal" AI.

Hehe. Friend, you seem to know a lot about this imaginary tech. But you don't. My rules are just as good as yours. If I say Johnny can run on a trashcan, its just as true as your theory. And more fun.

I mean, sure, if the writers wanted to put the chip in something else they could write different lore about what it does, granted. In the same spirit of "How do you kill a vampire? However you want."
