Now for the real question: is it actually IRC or just an in-game IRC-like interface?
The greatest hacking game of all time, Uplink, has an actual IRC client that you can buy and install on your in-game systems.
IRC pops up a lot in less obvious places too. The in-game chat in Warframe is IRC, but it handles all the server and channel connecting, locking you out of connecting to arbitrary servers.
So good. The slight differences between weapons means that the muscle memory you’ve built up ends up tripping you on the next run.
