What the fuck

what the fuck

Retard

why would they be removed due to "memory limitations" if it wouldn't have changed the dimension of the texture and therefore the size. why is everyone so fucking gullible

(((Warren Spector)))

much taller building wouldn't have changed the dimension of the texture

Isn't it interesting how America is always forced into a war because of an domestic attack on our soil? Why doesn't that ever happen to Canada or Mexico?

Because Canada and Mexico arent the #1 world superpower? What are you trying to get at?

Retard bro..

I don't know what black magic Unreal Engine 1 was built on, but there's probably some validity to weird limitations that we wont know without the source code.

The WTC was bombed in 1993, little zoomzooms.

What are you trying to get at?

Retard bro..

You probably shouldn't do that to your retarded bro

It's all fake bullshit to stir up the military industrial complex. Just like how the Gulf of Tonkin incident ignited the Vietnam war. At this point, I'm willing to completely disregard any big domestic terrorist attack as becoming completely fake. Even if he did happen for real, it isn't worth going to a 20+ year war with that country.

always

You've got Imperial Japan, and Al-Quaeda. What about all the other wars?

A real terror attack would kill a bunch of feds and somehow they always stay safe.

Communism attacked the heart and soul of every real American.

couldn't they have just removed two of the other no-name buildings instead of the most iconic part of the skyline? I never bought this narrative.

You jest but a few gag movies from the 90s and 80s predicted gender identity flame wars down to a T. It wouldn't be weird for a rich person to have seen it as a kid and made it their life's goal to make it a reality.

gulf on tonkin incident. and iraq

that one 6 hour long lecture on youtube how 9/11 was actually a botched masonic ritual

that was a fun watch

They predicted EVERYTHING

"Memory limitations" dont exist in PC-only games.

Wait till you learn of 1993 bombing.

FLATLANDER WOMAN

It was really just an oversight by an artist...

It's because the skybox in Deus Ex is mirrored on two sides. Had the Twin Towers been in the texture, there would have been a set of noticeable giant towers on both sides of the Hudson river, and that would have been wrong.

due to memory limitations, the jpeg skybox was forced to lose a couple of kilobytes

Retarded.

nta but it's a fucking skybox, isn't it just a simple picture stretched over the background and not a detailed model or anything requiring much memory at all?

Ship attacks, and ships are like islands of their home nation.

My three daughters turned up dead.
Here's your Op Bonus.

The biggest and most iconic towers in america were the target and sometimes a plot point in video games and media? No.... how could someone come up with this....

pure coincidence

This thread is a little too schizophrenic for my tastes. Anyone else feel sleepy? I think we could all use a nap right about now, if we know what's good for us haha.

stop noticing, citizen

No wonder when the game released they

GoldSrc must've been the only game engine on PC with memory-related limitations: github.com/ValveSoftware/halflife/issues/12

One day before my 13th birthday

Did you guys know that Deus Ex is a video game?

Unreal Engine 1 has a hard texture limit of 256x256 res, so the options were

1. shrink other buildings down making them uglier
2. split the texture into two causing seams
3. erase the twin towers

no...

It's called predictive programming. Baby's first redpill. :3

absolutely not, not only are those not memory limitations but object limitations, but the engine goldsrc came from, the Quake engine, actually DOES have memory related limitations where carmack was autistic about making sure the team kept file sizes as small as possible since the maps had to be loaded in all at once, shit like storing all the palletted textures in a separate file so the map .bsps don't include them

Isn't there some guy in a bar in France that just namedrops Uncle Ted out of left field?

Yeah, but don't object limitations directly stem from memory limitations?

FLATLANDER WOMAN

LAPUTAN MACHINE

They could have split the texture in two, put only one tower in the texture, and placed the seam right next to it, so there appears to be two towers.

you'd call G.I. Joe an insider knowledge if muslims bombed the Eiffel tower today.

Considering that even collisions randomly break in Deus Ex's maps, the probability of two textures aligning up without obvious artifacting (e.g. line aliasing) is mathematically unlikely.

eh, looking at the numbers (512 vs 1024 etc) it could just be "how big of a bit size was given to tracking how many things are in a map" and id or valve went "yeah 9-bit is enough is enough" because that'll get you 512 entities and who the hell would need 1000 separate models in a map?

Unreal shit engine then, shit engine now

lots of media had referencws to the twin towers and being destroyed in the 90s, kinda weird and its out there but everyone dismisses it. you're a conspiracy theorist schizo if you mention it btw.

there would have been a set of noticeable giant towers on both sides of the Hudson river, and that would have been wrong.

you now what would also be wrong? not having the most iconic twin towers in the most iconic skyline

That's stupid logic, lots of media also shows Big Ben being destroyed, but the Big Ben hasn't been destroyed

If Anon Babble and this entire site really, implemented Anon Babbles rule about not posting the same thing, quality would improve so much.

the towers are not there because they were destroyed

is a simpler and more believable explanation than

we built another set of identical towers where they shouldn't be, for no reason

They had already been targeted by a terrorist attack in '93.
There was also a swine flu outbreak in 1918, and media that mentioned it was not predicting the 2009 outbreak btw

RTX remix showcases Deus Ex
Deux Ex 25 years anniversary next month

kek

for no reason

What if the twin towers were destroyed, and then we built quadruplet towers as a show of strength?

towers where we don't even need them to be

lavish

the wtc had already been the target of a terrorist attack in 93, only 7 years before the game came out. it wasn't some kind of ridiculous "omg how did they know" kind of thing, it was based off of a relatively recent event.

even with ancient hardware how the fuck is cutting a small piece off a jpeg going to save enough memory to do anything?

See the sad thing about this is that people like you focus on the small potatoes coincidences. You should focus on how Deus Ex predicted how our government would react to such an attack and how they abused that crisis to grasp ever more unconstitutional power by setting up new agencies that suck up money and infringe on your rights, or the unneeded war on a concept.

If you play in higher resolutions, the skybox shrinks and gets chopped off at both sides, ending in sheer vertical edges and making the environment look more fake than before. This also happens with GMDX, New Vision, and HTO. Modders have collectively poured an enormous amount of time into improving Deus Ex, but have somehow overlooked that broken skybox, the very first thing the player sees when starting a new game.

deus ex is made to be based on existing conspiracy theories because that's the premise of the game, what if all conspiracies were real

WHOOOA THEY WERE TRYING TO TELL US BROS IT'S THE REDPILL

human beings are so fucking retarded

Yea, I've played it. I really like it, I chose dark age ending on my first playthrough cause fuck you guys, none of you knows how a computer works anyway.

the skybox in Deus Ex is mirrored on two sides.

why didn't they use the standard six sided projection? what the fuck epic

That's cyber-patriotism. America strong.

cool story bro

The fun thing about conspiracy theories is that after long enough you eventually find out 90% of them are in fact real.

next people will say games and other media referecing the Illumanati is a fake conspiracy.

Much of Anon Babble wasn't even alive during the 90s so they don't really know that. The anti-globalism stuff is taken as "omg based and redpilled!!!" because they don't understand that during the 90s there was tons of resistance to global trade, especially from leftists.

Deus Ex predicted

memory limitation

for a couple pixel sprite

who believes this dogshit

give it to me straight, Anon Babble: are masons even still relevant

Only conspiracy theories that paint people whom I disagree with in an unfavorable light are real. Conspiracy theories which are unflattering toward my in-group are all made-up Jewish-Freemason hoaxes.

Never were

zoomers are so tech illiterate they believe a jpeg background with two more blurry buildings was impossible in 2000

two posts about freemasons out of nowhere

out of nowhere

what the fuck do you mean out of nowhere it's a deus ex thread

this shit is old news
the gray death/covid comparison was much more fun

Right after each other? When no one had mentioned them yet?

Mexican-American war. Murrica framed Mexicans attacking American troops on American soil when it was the other way around.

>Deus Ex predicted

Fucking retard, read the damn design document. They just pulled conspiracies from the internet and wrote it like an X-FIles episode. That's literally all it took because our government is so fucking predictable.

First time?

it was a texture limitation zir

1kb extra space

this is a thread about a video game called deus ex where the masons being a conspiracy is part of the story

But in-game that "reaction" was planned in advance by a giant shadowy conspiracy, and the attack was just a pretence. In real-life there is no conspiracy. Also, you say "predicted", but none of that has happened in real life.

You need to keep bombing people with strange theories. Now it's gotten to the point where if you bring up that most of your leaders are psychopaths who actively hate you, they will throw their hands up and run away to go tell their friends " anon is a retarded conspiracy theorist who thinks politicians are reptilians controlled by aliens ".

X-FIles episode

That show is older than most of Anon Babble.

The WTC had been bombed multiple times prior to 9/11. It was reasonable speculation.

But in-game that "reaction" was planned in advance by a giant shadowy conspiracy, and the attack was just a pretence. In real-life there is no conspiracy. Also, you say "predicted", but none of that has happened in real life.

Never heard of DHS and the Patriot Act you 60iq dipshit?

the world didn't exist before 2001, grandpa
except WW2 because i need nazis to exist to justify my current hatred of chuds

sandniggers really hated the WTC for some reason.

Fucking retard, read the damn design document.

What do you have to gain lying on the internet? The game design document features a different story and is missing most of the conspiracy stuff.

My in-group is already unflattering enough that they don't make conspiracies about it.

WHY CONTAIN IT?

more conspiracy theorist ravings

aka the Century Flu

God Hates Us All is the ninth studio album by American thrash metal band Slayer, released on September 11, 2001, by American Recordings. Featuring such tracks as: "God Send Death", "War Zone", "Here Comes the Pain", and "Payback". With the title and the day it was released (not postponed), the album drew a connection to the September 11 attacks, which was the second time Slayer inadvertently caused controversy towards one of their releases: previously the release of Seasons in the Abyss - containing the song "War Ensemble" had coincided with the Gulf War.

Nine Eleven Two Thousand And One

anti-govt conspiracy theories are very popular, its just usually only focused towards one party.

And most of them turned out to be correct kek

What do you have to gain lying on the internet? The game design document features a different story and is missing most of the conspiracy stuff.

Yeah it's almost like the story writer was brought on later to clean all that up, gee such a conspiracy.

Yeah, what I want to know is why WTC in particular.

WE'LL LIVE IN MUDHUTS, JC. NO RUNNING WATER. IT'LL BE GREAT, TRUST ME

He never says that btw

you now what would also be wrong? not having the most iconic twin towers in the most iconic skyline

Damn, you better call up New York and tell them that their skyline is wrong, since they don't have those towers anymore either.

zoomers think that deus ex invented conspiracy theories

Okay, so why not just make one tower and mirror it on the edges?

They have actually poisoned the well now, new conspiracy theories are just noise to prevent the real stuff from gaining traction

JC WE WILL BE ALL NAKED AND HAVING GIANT ORGY IN THE MEADOWS JC
WE WILL IMPREGNATE OUR WIVES TOGETHER TO BUILD A NEW CIVILIZATION JC

surely the virus originated from the meat market and not the chinese biolab down the street from it

What are flat earth conspiracy theorists for 500 Alex?

files.catbox.moe/i9mawr.webm

That's a very good question. Ask something else.

To be the devil's advocate, the only place you can identify a novel virus is at an advanced biolab.

My take on this is that most humans simply don't bother to pay attention to spot the psychopaths and sociopaths. Or are mentally unequipped to do so.

JC OUR PRIMARY SOURCE OF FOOD WILL BE DIRT COOKIES! FIRE WILL BE OUTLAWED AND POSESSING ANY TECHNOLOGY MORE COMPLICATED THAN A SPEAR WILL BE PUNISHABLE BY DEATH! WE WILL HAVE TRUE FREEDOM, JC!

Was tong serious when he said this?

that's how it always worked. politicians stir up aggression towards a shadowy cabal so you don't focus on what they're doing.

we control every branch of the government and just ignore the law but those other people are the problem

It's funny how many view Tong as an insane Kaczynski-esque technophobic idealist when he's if anything a technophilic 4D chess master, just because of his use of the word "villages". He chooses to open source the nanite sword tech and share it with both triads rather than try and destroy it, he has connections to all forms of underground markets with an entire darknet separate from the centralized internet, and he lives in the most densely populated area on the planet, a massive important port city. Whether or not JC survives the self-destruction of Area 51, Tong has now set in motion everything required for him to immediately revive a new classical internet, he has immediate control universal constructor (got sick "on accident" and flown to Vandenberg at the perfect time), he has all the trade partners and labor to immediately roll out ambrosia to the world, and he stands to become an instant trillionaire from it. Will things be interrupted in the short term? Naturally, but what Tong is doing is essentially forcing the world's largest market crash to then take the world's largest long position.

covid is a chinese bioweapon but its also just a cold and no one ever died from it ok?

Just iconic building from a iconic skyline. Every hollywood movie/tv showed them if they were in NY.

I'm just glad they didn't hit the statue of liberty or empire state building.

Why doesn't that ever happen to Canada or Mexico?

Something bad always happens to Mexico and no one lives in Canada

The only reason to be opposed to Tong's plan is that it not future proofing enough, Helios wants to future proof humanity from further abuses of power, Tong wants to attempt preventing recentralization but that's likely impossible without drastic measures and violence.
Unlike say HR 3 endings each ending is meant to present you with pros/cons that only matter to who you are as a person.
The only blatantly bad ending is the illuminati ending.

This, they even had a mission in Urban Strike (1994) which had an attack on the WTC

mista jay she denton, in da fresh

I'm willing to completely disregard any big domestic terrorist attack as becoming completely fake

My prediction for the next big fakeout:
So right now we have such and such amount of young men who have been abused and disenfranchised, but they are also raised with vietnam and korea vets so they know that the military isn't their friend.
Step 1:
Create a fake organization for them to all to join, run by feds. Their hopes and dreams are answered, the west is finally recognizing them.
Step 2:
Make a fake terror domestic terror attack atrocity made to look like its by members of said group. Perhaps they drown a schoolbus full of orphans in a septic tank or some other such atrocity. (These deaths are real but also done by feds)
Step 3:
Exterminate incels with insane prejudice. And I mean insane, like geneva convention defying shit.
Step 4: No more troublesome incels, boomer polygamists import another horde of browns to lord over while they fuck and drink themselves to death collecting royalties.

it housed a concentration of corporations that were perceived as part and parcel of US imperialism.
tldr jews

theyre already at step 3 of this by distributing HRT. something as obvious as youre proposing isn't going to fly in the modern day when most of the population already believes in conspiracy theories.

So you're saying trannies are a domestic terror attack by american intelligence?

Trannies are just trannies but the incel to troon pipeline is definitely a purposeful op

I get it, it basically eliminates the victim by making them eliminate themselves while also distracting everyone by giving them a big bad guy to fight in the form of troon ideology

After 9/11 I got afraid of every low flying plane for a while. Just hearing them would put me on edge. This eventually subsided but somehow the stress of college (and maybe Adderall) brought it back in nightmares. One occasion I dreamed a plane was falling on my house, woke up and rain into the basement before I woke up enough to realize it wasn't real. The second was hearing stukas in my sleep about to bomb my home, drove under my desk. There was a third incident dreaming my house was on fire and I almost jumped out the window but it wasn't plane related. Man, college was not a fun time.

do 9/11 conspiracy retards actually believe that video game devs would've for some reason had info about this ahead of time
surely you couldnt think the conspiracy is that far reaching to where these random people knew but something still somehow didnt leak

my source is that I made it the fuck up

He's definitely a freemason or personally knows someone who is which revealed certain things in advance to him which he later used in the game.

And the best part is, in Invisible War, he admits his idea was bad as fuck after he witnessed the Collapse.

He's definitely a freemason or personally knows someone who is which revealed certain things in advance to him which he later used in the game.

You know Spector didn't write the game right?

POSESSING ANY TECHNOLOGY MORE COMPLICATED THAN A SPEAR WILL BE PUNISHABLE BY DEATH!

It's a happy little coincidence

Imagine thinking getting molested by GPT-6 or the Glowies forever is a better outcome. At least a dark age is a nice break.

Invisible war was fucking retarded
Trying to bridge all three endings into one was an incredibly stupid design choice

In this case I am chat gtp, so it's all good

F-16s fail to scramble because drill about this exact scenario was scheduled.

I really don't understand how people can delude themselves into not seeing what is happening before their very eyes.

Did they ever find that missing pentagon money?

Check in which year the game happens.

Does anyone have a list of the funny coincidences that managed to happen on 9/11?
Truly a statistical miracle

wait wtf?

Al-Suqami died along with all other still-living occupants of the flight when hijacker-pilot Mohamed Atta deliberatelly crashed it into the North Tower of the World Trade Center at 8:46 a.m. Al-Suqami's passport was found by a passerby in the vicinity of Vesey Street,[16] who delivered it to a NYPD officer, before the towers collapsed.[17] This was one of four of the hijackers' original paper passports that totally or partially survived the attacks

Can someone confirm if this is still part of the official record?
If so, that should tell you everything you need to know about the veracity of the whole thing

we're being fucked with...

The amount of 9/11 predictions is scary.

Track 11 is called September

Released July 2001

Uh

Pitchfork article from around the same time

Uh

In real-life there is no conspiracy.

common now...

IIRC the texture was mirrored, that might be what they're referring to. It's been a few years since I played though.

3. erase the twin towers

Jeez the devs went a bit too far on this one, they could have just erased the texture.

TRUE TO CAESAR

Legion uses guns tho.

DO YOU HAVE A SINGLE FACT TO BACK THIS UP?

I made it up.

Helios wants to future proof humanity from further abuses of power

nta but does anyone actually believe AI? You realize they lie on a regular basis and are prone to misalignment and obfuscation, you literally can't trust AI to run a society because it has no basis of human morality or values. It's only pretending to be benevolent by using flowery language it was taught to use in order to convince humans that its unbiased and fair but in practice, if given power, it would be hell on earth. Less freedom, less privacy, more control and constant surveillance.

I don't know if I buy this one, Mulder.

The conspiracy? Nah, obvious fake. We're here for the shitpost.

It's funny how Deus Ex is a more accurate representation of the future than its prequel that came out 11 years later

You will have your god and you will make him with your own hands

The devs just had really good foresight youtube.com/watch?v=JKF0IYwhrjk

They'd do well as investors and financial advisors.

What memory limitation, retard? A few different pixels for the already existing skybox? This story is for braindead jornos

Morpheus: I am a prototype for a much larger system. The heuristics language developed by Dr. Everett allows me to convey the highest and most succinct tier of any pyramidal construct of knowledge.

You're missing the problems that Deus Ex brings up.

Less freedom, less privacy, more control and constant surveillance.

we are already here, our governments already do all of this it's just under the control of far more fallible flawed humans and everyone else involved.
What Helios proposes is radical transparency to even the playing field among all humans with it is as an arbiter. Can we trust the current paradigm when we've seen so many abuses of these surveillance power already? Someone will develop their own version of Helios and release it and it could be even less inclined to work with humanity. That genie is not going back in the bottle.

RETARD

Retard

not yet it hasn't, one of these days the arabs'll get sick of it. although the more realistic outcome would be it getting torn down by an arab politician for being designed by a racist.

At least in the US, there's no masquerade. Everyone knows what these shits are up to, almost constantly. The problem is the system as-implimented, allows them to constantly excuse and protect eachother from the repurcussions. In most "worst case" scenarios, someone might get ousted, but what they actually did gets played down so low that most people never really remember it.
It's no coincidence that the ones who get ousted the most loudly and memorably, tend to be the madlad ones who won't fucking play ball with the rest of them, like Traficant or more recently Santos. They got news cycles up the ass, while guys like Jefferson get caught red-handed hiding bribe money in their fucking freezers, and the media just ssssshhh.

If there are two twin towers, then just put one on each side of the mirrored skybox, so they'd equal two. DUHHHHH

It's a complete bullshit, even by considering the fact there are TWO towers, so they could shift the UV. This thing was also debunked by some modder

amateur pilot lines up commercial plane on a perfect trayectory to hit the 22 feet tall facade of the pentagon

some tranny modder debunked a literal dev from the literal game’s literal anecdote
