I've done a lot of 2-panel spreads for this game. It just demands it!
I've encountered all of these glitches and more (except the bird people) and I love every one of them. I know the bird people were from the first game, but I still hope to see them some day.
Also, a heads up! I'm unfortunately going to have to skip next week's update since I'll be vending at MFF this week/weekend. I had proxies lined up to do the convention for me, but they all cancelled on me so I have to do it myself now. Come by and see me if you're attending! I'll be in the dealer's den with Sugar Bunny Shop.
From my understanding, the “100 hour work week” is something that was taken heavily out of context. Riot and Telltale are companies that seem to deserve actual scrutiny for questionable labour practices.
Yup, the ones slandering (I refuse to call it reporting as that requires accuracy) decided to neglect that it was voluntary overtime and no one was required to do it. Never let the truth get in the way of outrage apparently.
As for the game, the funniest part I find that in comparison, Breath of the Wild has a horse AI that is fairly intelligent allowing for some neat results in combat. By contrast RDR2’s horses can run smack into a tree at 5 feet out.
I mean, it’s as “voluntary” as your desire to stay on the project or let go for being “not a good fit” for the company. And then lose all credit for not being there at launch.

I can attest to this, though not at these companies specifically. Crunch week (13 hours daily, Monday to Sunday) for an entry level tester was terrible, and compared to the rest of the team I had barely anything to do. Apparently there’s a bug-finding quota my company didn’t bother to make known, and having finished the project on Friday, I took seriously that the “voluntary” overtime to help test another project was actually voluntary, skipped it, and was out of work by Monday.
Great comic- I haven’t played any of Red Dead, and I’m not sure if I’d like it. But, the glitches seem hilarious. I am extremely pumped for the ‘Pokémon Let’s Go’ comics!
Oof, you musta not seen what’s happening in fallout 76, with its many bugs harming the game. It could be good but they don’t really communicate with the player base :(
Falling down, my life fading now to the end
One last chance of glory in my heart again
Set me free from craving the one thing I can’t have inside of me
But is it all a waste of time?
I hope this won’t be too much to ask but can you make a Splatoon 2 Octo expansion the GaMERCaT comic? Please Splatoon 2 is already an awesome game but the Octo expansion makes it even better! ;)
O.o Glitches? You mean NPCs aren’t supposed to float and walk through walls and climb irrationally over stuff when there’s a perfectly good sidewalk they can use? Every game has some variation of those so I’m pretty sure they are features and I want them to stay!! ;P
Maybe if they spent less time on horse privates and more time on testing and refining things, there wouldn’t be so many glitches.
“Yeah, we couldn’t get the dog to stop walking upside-down and the NPCs are clipping through the floor, but… look at the detail on those horse bits! That’s what immersion looks like, right? …right…?”
I mean, you get ubisoft games that are normally good such as Ghost Recon and division, and yet… floating weapon parts in the first, and the ever infamous falling through the floor in the second
And yet despite everyone hearing about the kind of abuse these workers were subject to, everyone went ahead and bought and praised the game anyway. Sometimes I hate the real world.
So far, my favorite glitch is being able to turn Delfino Isle invisible in Super Mario Sunshine. It’s absolutely useless, but for some reason, fun to achieve.

It’s real full name is “The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind”
If you haven’t played it yet, you should. It’s like Skyrim, but you can use spears.
Those who have not played it are missing out. You can get the Game of the Year edition on Steam

Just get a mod that removes those bird things so you aren’t annoyed to death. This was a wild time, before the days of fast travel.

They’re dragon things, you non-elite Elder Scrolls Fan!

Well, EBF5 came out a few days ago.
It’s almost devoid of unintentional glitches, but there’s a different type put in, one that would be fun…
Justin
And fill your life with ecstasy

…Was I the only one really confused at first as to why the astromech droid from Star Wars needed a 100 hour workweek?
(And yes, I know that’s R2-D2, I’m saying that’s what I read it as at first.)

RD-R2 means Red Dead Redemption 2 LrdSlvrhnd.

Good glitches take games a bit closer to HEAVEN. Especially when it’s RDR.
