duncan realising that any car with inbuilt navigation is tracking you was amussing.

[@AlanXEverfrost]

"P*rn at work" sort of related. During high school my class had a three day trip to London, with a few activities you could choose. We were expected to use an hour of computer class to check up the different locations on offer. Locations like the battleship moored there, etc. So all of us were working on our own computer before a teacher walked in and announced "You know we can see what you are all looking at, right?" My friend, a few PC's over stands up and has to explain. One of the locations was the London Dungeon. A museum of medieval torture devices, for those unaware. But while looking it up, he accidentally went looking for "the dungeon" and stumbled upon a BDSM site.

[@evanfishsticks8010]

"stumbled upon" Yeah sure buddy

[@JimBob4233]

My French teacher had a similar story. She had a group of Year 8s making Christmas cards, and suddenly a load of the pupils were very interested in a particular boy's computer. It turned out that, in searching for 'holly' in Google Images, a bunch of the results were of the newest Playboy model.

[@cougsoc16]

"Fantasy Settings are more limited" is a wild take.

[@uniquename6925]

It's mostly that they compared to MMOs which are gonna be dramatically less focused on RP than dedicated RP servers like GTA has. So of course they are gonna seem limited, cause MMOs don't allow mods or private servers.

[@ZedByt]

@@uniquename6925 I think it's more along the lines of their argument that it's easier to rp real work existing things and settings, where as Fantasy settings you have to sort of agree to make up a not only sensible set of "rules", "physics", and unique setting, but also make it cohesive. It's significantly harder to pull off, with the extra effort every piece/person involved has to to work with, but also much less flexible because it's easier to break that immersion. I think. Imagination (Fantasy) is, in theory, infinitely expansive, but also derived near to entirely from our strict reality.

[@falleithani5411]

​@@ZedByt I believe the crux of the argument was more that if you want to RP in GTA, you can literally go shopping for groceries, buy several new outfits, go golfing, bowling, listen to talk radio and debate with each other in-character about the radio show while getting drunk at the bar, and at _any_ time during _any_ of those activities, it could just turn into an action scene as one player loses their temper and pulls out a gun, or someone tries to grab something without paying, (or even just _forgets_ to pay for something, completely and entirely by accident). Most fantasy and Sci-fi video games are built entirely around combat and a story, with only a few dalliances from those two things. GTA goes far deeper than any other game at making a fully-featured, detailed city, full of mundane and arbitrary things to do that are just part of normal life. On top of that, it has that now-famous wanted star mechanic which is not meant to _discourage_ extreme in-character shenanigans, but instead to give those shenanigans more dramatic flair and an exciting arc. Put it all together, and you have a recipe for player creativity and the exact sort of fun silly nonsense TTRPGs are famous for. As far as I know, it's pretty much the only video game setting which can (somewhat) offer that TTRPG feel, where players can do pretty much anything their characters conceivably could. Including, arbitrarily and at any time, jumping completely off the rails to get completely lost in some minor passtime, affairs, or slice-of-life drama; up to and including scenarios where some minor task like buying food gets out of hand and blows up into a gigantic mess which then becomes an entire unplanned sideplot and changes the course of the game thereafter. Part of the reason why this doesn't work as well in Fantasy and Sci-fi is because 'the players can do pretty much anything their characters conceivably could' very quickly starts to fall apart when you add magic or advanced technology into the mix. Part of the _fun_ of those settings is giving players powers and tools that expand the imagination in what they can do. But because of that, it doesn't take very long at all for players to think of so many new and weird things to use that advanced tech and magic for, that the developers couldn't possibly implement enough of it to feel satisfying in a deep RP. It's also much harder to make settings which have those powers available, where the setting feels familiar enough for players to get comfortable in, _plus_ feel like those powers are a natural part of the world which has been integrated into every aspect of society. Those two things are in conflict with each other. Effectively, making a Fantasy or Sci-fi GTA game is a bit like gathering a bunch of ancient folk who predate the invention of explosives, engines, mass-production, radio, plastic, and glass, and telling them to build a game about a city where all of those things are normal. It's easier said than done. They'd probably come up with something very _interesting,_ but it almost certainly wouldn't look much like GTA. Not only that, but it would probably miss a lot of obvious applications for every single one of those inventions, and different people would miss different things, so a group of players from that same era of history would find too many holes and inconsistencies for the result to feel like a satisfying and coherent world. That's where TTRPGs have the edge, because the GM can directly interface with every player at the table, and workshop what each player wants and expects, to custom-fit something which is not at all a perfect replica of what a fantasy or sci-fi world would _actually_ look like, but is a world that their players strongly connect with. And every time a player pokes that world in a way the GM never expected or imagined, they can tweak their design on the spot, ideally in a way that makes it seem like that new detail had been there all along.

[@IndigoWhiskey]

eh its an jab at how many games rely entirely on combat and wandering around talking to npcs so if you try and wander off an just immerse yourself in world theres nothing for you tp actually do, not because of the setting but because not everyone does the Japanese open world thing of making everything in world basically functional even if entirely pointless.

This kind of game translates very well to a D&D Thieves Guild Campaign. Though I remember none off the top of my head, I am quite certain there are gangster\mafia genre RPGs, as there is an RPG for EVERY genre.

So, about the conversation with cars tracking what you do. It's true. My brother is digital forensics for a local police department and he has learned that all modern cars track braking, acceleration, steering, the speed you were going, and stuff like that. If you have a GPS some cars will track where you have been, whether you have subscribed to the GPS service or not. A lot of cars also remember what wifi signals you were near. It's crazy.

4:50 Duncan thinks they figured out he didn't break because of a tracker in the car? Really? They've been able to figure that out for a while, no need for tracking. You look at the state the car is in - if he had hit the breaks, there would be less impact and the damage on the car would be different. Also, hitting the breaks that hard would leave different marks on the surroundings (tire tracks maybe). It's the same kind of thing that's been done for hundreds of years, like for tracking (in the "follow someone/something" meaning of the word)
