I almost addressed a male cashier at a shop yesterday as "ma'am" and had to correct myself mid-sentence. Felt like a complete idiot.

More evidence suggesting widespread disarray in their operations But again, this doesn't mean we can rest easy. It's been said that Putin has no plan for this whole thing. But if he gets backed into a corner, we can't rule him out resorting to chemical or nuclear warfare. A coup in Moscow sure would be nice right now though.

Bruh can we just move every single one of his posts from this thread to the Marxism one? Or better yet have a filter that automatically does it?

Cyberpunk 2077, for the first time since 1 Jan 2021. Also patch 1.52 just dropped.

I'm surprised y'all don't use the Ignore feature more often with certain members. Also with Putin going on about that "bastards and traitors" bit...the man is clearly losing it and is unfit to be leader of one of Earth's most powerful militaries. Familiar. And @maxwellsq...all I can say is thank you for keeping us posted from the front lines. Stay safe, friend.

The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Complete mod has been my go-to for both SoC and CoP for the past decade. It's the most stable S.T.A.L.K.E.R. experience I've had yet, even if gets a lot of flak from fans for some reason. And I agree, it truly is a special franchise. SoC predates Fallout 3 in terms of a post-apocalypse open-world setting. And it's based on both the 1979 film S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and the Soviet-era sci-fi novel Roadside Picnic from the same decade (which I still need to read). But yeah, most important is the safety and well-being of the GSC Gameworld team and their families & friends. Gotta admire their tenacity in these times. EDIT: Here's a video update directly from the devs that I missed before making this post

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is still a go, but will no longer be available in Russia: https://www.gamesradar.com/stalker-2-wont-be-sold-in-russia-as-developer-pens-farewell-note-to-audience/ Also Chernobyl will be renamed to the native Ukrainian name Chornobyl. (Wouldn't be surprised if this trends beyond the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. community, under the circumstances)

I haven't touched GTA V in like seven years, so I'm not really sure what to say on this. Or, they could focus on a new GTA game, but...who knows if that'll ever live up to the standards of V. I'll most likely dive back into Cyberpunk 2077 soon, now that's been patched to 1.5 for about a month. Seems like the next best thing.

Basically the Freedom faction from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. but IRL In all seriousness though, I hope all the fighters in Kyiv can continue to hold the line. Also I wonder if there's a way to cripple Moscow's nuclear capabilities via cyber assault, although I'm not sure how antiquated their launch systems are.

I peed behind the tire of a front end loader at work last Friday and got away with it. I also happened to be the operator.

For lunch I toasted two halves of a bagel and put cream cheese, smoked sockeye salmon lachs, dill weed (don't laugh), cucumber, rice vinegar, and salt & pepper on top. Washed it down with leftover percolated coffee brewed this morning. Another one of my successful culinary experiments. Sometimes I forget how spoiled we are in my region when it comes to salmon.

ALIEN / PROMETHEUS / COVENANT - SPOILERS INBOUND!!
ambermonk replied to azatoth's topic in General Banter
I've never really been a die-hard fan of the series, but the second one by James Cameron will always be my favorite. The 1979 original felt more minimalist in comparison, although it's been ages since I've seen it. I just remember the Chest Burster scene, the rogue Synthetic, and the actual Xenomorph, which ended up getting vented out of an airlock by Ripley if I remember right. I watched only parts of the third film, but was overall unengaged by it. Resurrection from '97 felt like it was straddling between an action and a comedy and wasn't sure what its end goal was aside from giving Ripley a second chance. Prometheus had impressive visuals but no recognizable plot to speak of. Covenant, I have not seen. As for games, I wouldn't mind seeing another proper shooter under the Alien brand. Something along the lines of Alien Trilogy on PS1 but as a modern remake would be ideal. Never touched Colonial Marines due to the jank/cringe factor as a Gearbox title. But Alien: Isolation is one I still ought to try. I hear it has elements similar to System Shock and Prey 2017 but with survival emphasized over combat. Yeah...I remember. I had a mild crush on Rapace for a little while after the movie came out, but not because of that scene.- 3,883 replies

Someone should tell Putin to go kiss the Elephant's Foot

Just now read the automated email from the Bandcamp CEO. Seriously tho...why Don't even get me started on Tim Sweeney. I was hoping to compose and release an EP on BC later this year too. This whole announcement just feels like a poop sandwich.

I started getting into Vampire Survivor yesterday. It's dirt cheap on Steam and super addictive. I still don't see how some players manage reach LV 100+ though. I'm lucky reach LV 15. Wonder if there's any strategies besides just "get gud".

The latest as far as I know: 10 people killed in a rocket attack in Kharkiv, and a TV tower hit in Kyiv. And that massive Russian convoy is moving closer to Kyiv as well. I'm tempted donate aid money for Ukraine, but I want to make sure the recipients are legit. And this goes without saying, but also fuck Putin and his cronies.
