the worst thing about outer wilds is that no exploration game will ever be as good until we can hook up our brains directly to the internet

I played some Fall Guys! It's a cute use of time, and placing high on a course is pretty exciting. Haven't won a game yet but I was in second place for some climb for the crown yesterday. I think there's a way of playing with other people but I have no idea how that would work, everyone is pretty anonymous.

the reason everyone is anonymous is beacuse some people found a way to hack the usernames

Yeah, we tried coordinating outfits to make it possible to know who was who. Not easy. They will fix it.

Ah! I can see where you should be able to play with your display name but it's inaccessible. I figured it was just an unfinished game or whatever, usernames would be part of a release patch. Or maybe that it was an unlockable at some character level.

People figured out how to inject HTML into their names so their name was the word "COCK" so big that it took up the entire screen.

Which is hilarious but unfun.

How much HTML could they insert? Could they install a whole new game?

They had a game with built-in functionality for pop-up ads and disabled it? That's no way to make the big bucks.

I'm assuming that would have required a patch and this was some kind of server-side fix.

I love that LTG constantly talks about frame data and target combos but can't do a meaty to save his life. It's no wonder he just eats everything out of wakeup (and blockstun recovery, which he also calls wakeup for some reason).
