    Jumped the Gun would be a great title for an exploitation movie.

    @jacobkosh i am playing Dragonfall. tore through it this weekend.

    here is the current state of affairs
    I decided to free APEX (i totally predicted that that's why it was letting me come for a visit) because the deal sounded good. too good, i thought, but i did it anyways.

    then, i was unable to convince Vauclair to abandon his project through conversation; i don't even know if you can. but after escaping the firedrake pit i am now in the vents, and APEX just contacted me saying he wants to take control of the Firewing project to remove all collateral damage - but also control the F-State.

    THIS IS PROBLEMATIC.

    i would like it if fewer AIs were distressingly amoral.

    at least this guy isn't a total psycho or anything. so far.

    i am curious as to whether you end up actually fighting him in the matrix, if you try to kill him. when i worked with him, he aided me as the Monika persona.

    Like, here, I'll give you the TL;DR version of The Canyons: Everyone in LA is an asshole, what a bunch of shallow assholes, there people are rich garbage. There, you've seen the movie.

    LA people sure love to make movies about how shitty LA people are, and like - I try to be open to all examination of the human condition but holy shit navel gazing ahoy

    like would the world really be worse off if we didn't have The Canyons, or 2 Days in the Valley, or Hurlyburly

    And I think it was kind of playing on the idea that all LA people are navel gazing shallow assholes and only think about themselves. I'm pretty sure it was self-aware of that. It's just that that almost guarantees that your movie will suck out loud.

    I freed APEX because I was trying to play a good guy and my policy was that thinking beings shouldn't be chained up

    but on a second playthrough I dunno if I will or not. remember how very early on Green Winters comments that Monika's blind spot was the F-State, and all he had to do to manipulate her was to mention that the project might be important in that context? I think the game kind of cleverly sets it up so that if you play a certain way, if you try to be an ethical person, an AI wearing your dead friend's face and waxing rhapsodic about freedom kind of ends up being yours

    I don't think freeing the AI is the worst possible choice but it is immensely grey

    the new version apparently has a few addition ending permutations as well so it's possible that my opinion on this is going to shift soon. right now I've just finished Doc Ekzibel's run (this was one of the new missions, along with the companion missions and the Lodge audition) and am getting ready for the big Aztechnology hit

    @Pony I thought the CCA was effectively neutered in the 1970's after refusing to Greenlight a (requested by US Government) Spider-Man story where drugs are involved.

    not so much neutered as

    Marvel called them on their shit and they were basically proven to be completely toothless in terms of being able to do anything except literally decide whether or not to put their stamp on something

    and that stamp only mattered insofar as if it mattered to advertisers (which, increasingly, it did not as comics advertising revenue continued to plummet in value anyway and advertisers were caring less and less about the CCA) and retailers (which, outside of newstands and supermarkets and so on, was mattering less and less as the primary profit for comics was coming from specialty shops that didn't give a shit about the CCA)

    it was a death spiral from there into the 80's and so on

    by 2001, Marvel was like "Why are we even bothering with this shit?" and stopped, and made up their own ratings system

    it took DC ten more years to do the same in keeping with DC's general theme of not adapting to change in things
