ATOM: RPG is a game about Fallout.
A long time ago to a kid and a short time ago to an old fuck I worked at this place that made home cameras where you could spy on like, your dog, or babies, or maybe a burglar if they broke into your house and stood in a place that hit the angle of the where you set the teddy bear on the nightstand or whatever.
I dunno, I wasn't in marketing then so I don't remember what the c-suite claimed they were used for, I just tested them. To reiterate, this was a long time ago, before the time that these type of cameras became popular, then prevalent. This was back when people assumed they had some kind of right to privacy, so all of this was like, "Wait what now?"
Most complaints were about masturbating. People were seriously worried that the camera would catch them masturbating so they wanted to know how to turn it off whenever they wanted so they could masturbate and then just turn it back on so they could catch their significant other cheating.
I never found the bug. I mean the easy fix is if you got it set up in the bedroom just jack off in the bathroom. I guess the problem was for super paranoid people that had them everywhere. I don't know, I just threw away the tickets. That was actually the problem with the company as a whole, thinking back, a distinct lack of respect for ethics when it comes to technology.
The company didn't seem to be that worried about if they should do something, or if it was legal. They were of the mind that they just made the stuff, they had a legal team that made sure that the wording in the EULA was solid in that no shit was on them, and it was just a matter of how hi-fidelity was the image of that dude your lady was caught with, divorce courts loved this company, bankrolled a lot of Lawyers' Barbados trips, I imagine.
I got fired because of my big mouth, yet again. Asked one of the C-levels if they had ever been spied on privately and if so how did it feel. he said no, I presented him with the raw reel of the cameras I had placed all over the fucking building, to test.
As I was being escorted off the premises the security guard told me, " Ma nigga, you really go out of your way to prove a point." I responded, "Nah, I just needed a Christmas break."
Anyway, what was I talking about? Oh, ATOM: RPG. It's fallout, basically. Which means its fuckin' dope. It's coming out of early access this week. Check it out, or don't, whatever.
