Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

I would say probably more 451 games (essentially synonymous with Immersive Sims) where there's almost always a door with the code 0451, a reference to System Shock, where the first door uses this code as a reference to Fahrenheit 451. In the end you're right, but it's more a reference to this repeated reference (which is in itself a reference) than a reference to the book itself.

Also it's the first code entered into the first door to leave the first room in the first System Shock, which is likely what thread OP was referring to.

SS did it and so a bunch of other games do it in reference, like BioShock
