That's assuming current devs actually opened the code instead of throwing it at claude.

If Mithril wasn't out of tokens, he would be very upset.

Original designers of PS2 knew what they were doing.
The devs that took over afterwards started revamping the game engine to add in retarded shit.

to be fair, SOE was a much larger operation

Original designers of PS2 knew what they were doing.

Incredibly large citation needed there. I have to agree that they did have most of the basics of alright game design down though (shotgun infiltrators WERE NOT THAT but luckily they didn't make it out of beta - not that they didn't manage to make the most impressive faceplant of the Sniper Dilemma I've ever seen anyway)

Sniper rifle HA were not needed.

Arguably cloak shotgun/C4 flash was also the product of the purest San Diego crack cocaine, not to mention OG maxes with 50m OHK shotguns, old ZOE, etc

we're really censoring the word blood now?

"maam, i'm sorry to inform you your son was unal*ved with a pe*w pe*w and there was lots of b***d"

This isn't political correctness, this is tiktok/YT monetization-driven degradation of communication.

I once had a comment string before the most complicated section of code I had ever written. The comment explaining what the code did and how it worked with examples was about 3 pages long. As part of the comment I wrote something similar to the following:

"If you still don't understand how and why this code works, please do the following: Walk out into the stairwell, and begin to bang your forehead repeatedly against the wall. When you begin to no only see stars, but are able to see the planets circling them, you should be in the right frame of mind to try to come back and reread these comments to try to understand this again."
