The game was Windrose and it was making over a hundred gigabytes of unnecessary writes per hour at 90,000-130,000 writes per second, for the record.
After the devs tweaked their database caching it went down to ‘only’ 20-60 writes per second, which still feels insane to me.
I believe you slashed where you meant to dash, if you catch my drift.
My reaction is instant annoyance and avoidance. I don’t remember anything about the ad either, so it doesn’t make it any more memorable either.
Alpha Protocol, a spy-themed RPG by Obsidian and probably their worst game. The gameplay was absolute garbage, but it had some of the best writing in games and your dialog choices actually affected the plot in dozens of ways. It was the first time I can remember since the old Sierra days where a minor choice you made ten hours ago could come back and screw you over.
In some ways it was the game that Mass Effect claimed to be, one that reshaped itself around your choices and let you lead the plot where you desired. It just sucks that in all other ways it was a buggy piece of crap, where everything from combat to stealth to hacking were miserable chores that weren’t fun even when they did function properly.

Sounds cool. Could you give more details on what you’re attempting?
Rikku taking off her outer bodysuit was probably a sexual awakening for a lot of young teenagers.
Plus Second Life already tried the same idea and failed, and did so without requiring several hundred dollars of specialized equipment per user like the Metaverse did.
