You know what I'd like to see in some sort of video game/RPG situation?
An irritation meter for NPCs.
Like, a lot of dialogue options essentially boil down to "Choose this to be friendly" and "Choose this to start an actual fight"

There have been many days when "Maybe putting a vent in here will help what surely is just a pressure imbalance issue?" has sounded entirely too plausible.
Entirely too "Well, it can't be any worse than the side-effects of [med], right? And even if it doesn't really help, neither did [med] anyway"

Okay, one thing I kinda love about Stranger Things is how that, whenever characters get undeniably pulled into the supernatural upside-down bullshit, they all step the fuck up.
Like, it's pretty much only if someone gets mind-controlled/some such or is absolutely beyond irredeemable that they don't

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

Even if it could improve them you won't take the time to properly test them because you're rushing to beat the end of the bubble.
You have no viable business model.

You try to put it into everything in nonsensical ways.
It doesn't work the way you claim it will.

Wholly unrelated Dispatch crossover I just had an idea for:
Powerwash Simulator 2 DLC Pack - Dispatch.
You expressly play as Waterboy. This explains why you never have to worry about a hose/tank for your powerwasher.

Powered through this migraine to finish up Dispatch, and I'm so glad I did.
The game was a delight from start to finish, but I have to give special mention to the end.
I was grinning like an idiot through the entire final fight.
