Is this what powers the Celina 52 Truck Stop?

I’ve always had a fondness for the original Call of Duty single-player campaign. I don’t even care for that series, but the original had a phenomenal campaign.

I’m a Valheim guy myself. Pretty relaxing life out in the Meadows.

It’s honestly pretty fucking sad. It’s a bummer to see how many people on this planet become willful (sometimes) cannon fodder for some perceived glory that feels bigger than them, but in reality, their motherland is often just another gluttonous vampire slowly feeding on their necks and humming songs of heroism into the victim’s ear.

This man’s vampire probably watched his family starve with indifference, and then after this guy committed some sort of crime of desperation, it pulled him close, stroked his hair, and whispered that there was still a way to make it up to him. To make it up to all of them. And my, how proud you’ll make the motherland.

It’s just shitty because what real alternative is there? You either go all-in on the Conservative fuck-train or you attempt some desperate form of damage control by voting for the moderately more palatable option. There’s no in-between in the US that isn’t a symbolic losing bet.

I dated one of those long-distance once and it was really fucking weird. We would have phone sex and she would want me to talk about myself raping her. I tried it once or twice and I was so bad at it that she stopped asking me to phone rape her. Last I checked she moved across the country to probably get fake-raped by another internet boyfriend of hers.

I can’t imagine wanting/needing to rape my wife. There are so many layers to that I don’t even know where to begin wrapping my brain around it.

Same. I really enjoyed what I played of it (~4 hours), but as one of the biggest fans of the franchise on this planet, I am torturing myself instead by postponing my first playthrough until A-life is properly implemented. It’s worth the wait. I’ve waited this long already. For now, I’ve gone back to my long-term Anomaly character and have been having a fucking blast.

I’m pleased with your positive review. I also adore the vanilla games and find the series to be deeply immersive and atmospheric. It’s difficult to put into words exactly how the Zone makes me feel, but it’s something that is as beautiful as it is haunting, and it’s certainly not lost on STALKER fans. It seems like you value the Zone in many of the same ways that I do, and if the missing A-life really hasn’t bothered you or felt as though it has stripped the world of something important, then maybe it’s not as big of a handicap as I had assumed.

I had played six hours or so and really liked it, but it ran poorly on my GPU (I’ve since upgraded) and I was worried the missing A-life was going to hinder my enjoyment of it. The r/stalker community is really toxic in that regard, and I regret poking my head in there.

Word is, when Bernie first saw the news of the murder, he said, “Fuck yes.”

I put it on hold until the A-life is hopefully fixed, and because it ran like shit whenever I was in a social hub… But I also bought a 3070 Ti last night… To continue waiting or not to continue waiting?

For now I’m deep into Anomaly.

I just can’t believe conservatives actually observe that little dweeb in action and think he would make a fine and respectable PM. I don’t think he’s fit to be a hall monitor, though he certainly looks the part.

Hate Trudeau all you want, boys, but Pierre isn’t it.

Wow, very cool comment.

Will he get worked up and defensive? See below.

(he will)

I loved the six hours or so that I played, but have tabled the game until the A-life is (hopefully) fixed, the mutants are better balanced, and (hopefully) the timescale can be adjusted. Bonus points if they can stop my cutscenes/dialogue events from dropping to 10 FPS. But I want to be playing it and I think about it a lot. Until then, I’ve started over fresh in Anomaly and will patiently inhabit the Zone there.

STALKER and The Elder Scrolls probably hold the record. I may have wasted even more time in my life on World of Warcraft, but I feel like that doesn’t count since you’re just in a fucking trance for several years until you finally break away.

Surprised the headline didn’t use the word “quietly”, since that seems to be the most popular buzzword this year.

I feel like I need to see pics of the parking situation/attendance on the street. Like, yeah… Lights are fun and that sucks, but also… this must have been a pretty big fucking problem if it warranted this kind of response. Article says the show would end after 20 minutes and immediately an entirely new crowd would filter in to replace the previous one. Sounds like lot of vehicles waiting to get in to view it in a residential neighborhood not designed for that kind of volume. I’d probably bitch to the council too after several years of enduring that.

Brain fart, I guess.

For anyone who has been to the Yukon Territory and gazed upon its majesty, King Charles can get fucked. That province may as well be a wild horse. Even Alaska is a giant let-down by comparison.
