    The patent is a lot less interesting than it sounds initially.

    It instantly made me think of the original Borderlands and how my friends and I would try to see how long we could “bounce” on each others heads, because if you jump on top of another character, you’ll just keep “bouncing” off of their head.

    It’s tricky to keep landing on them, even if they’re not moving!

    I kind of figured they meant that something dumb like that could be turned into an actual mini-game within a game, allowing you keep score.

    No, the patent is way fucking dumber, sounds like more stupid AI bullshit, and basically focused on dumb streamer shit.

      Seems like a video game version of playing H-O-R-S-E in basketball: you need to make it from behind the hoop, with your eyes closed, and while hopping on one foot…

      Isn’t this just user-created achievements?
