Has anyone on here played S.T.A.L.K.E.R.?

It's set in post-soviet ukraine, about a cast of "stalkers" searched for artifacts in a mystical chernobyl exclusion zone.

Playing Stalker Anomaly because Stalker 2 is apparently anti-soviet and piece of shit in general

>>45195
I played it for the first time about 6 months ago. Got the "bad" ending and was then too lazy to go back and keep playing for the other endings. It felt like a weird cross between Half Life 1 and Fallout 3. It was very linear, but also kind of "open world." There's factions but it's super easy to permanently piss them off. Duty was on my ass every time I was in the Bar area and I had to save scum and keep killing them until there was a mountain of corpses outside the bar. I didn't like all the backtracking to do side quests, which for me is the main thing I usually do in games like this. I did like the realism of the firefights which was ahead of its time. Guns felt correctly inaccurate from a distance and taking out random unaligned stalkers in their little hideouts was riveting. The anomalies were sometimes interesting but usually really annoying. I found myself selling the artifacts instead of wearing them, because I preferred to have a lot of guns and health packs.

You probably might want to skip Clear Sky if you didn't totally fall in love with the first game, but Call of Pripyat improves upon SoC in almost every aspect, I swear. The basic idea of the game and mostly the engine is the same of course.

While I find your analysis of the game pretty much accurate, I don't even know why but I think STALKER is my favorite game series ever? I've spent 140 hours in SoC alone. I think it's the atmosphere. And mods make the games more open-world so you can waste away days playing

stuff that you're working on that is game-related

can be mods, games themselves, translations, fanart, or even ideas etc

post about it here

to start off the thread i am working on a mod for Limbus company. Gonna replace a cutscene in the game for Canto VII specifically for Don quixote vs Sancho(Don quixote) with characters from honkai star rail, specifically asat pramad and himeko.

i wasnt motivated to do it since it was a silly idea anda a lot of work but a recent edit on bilibili combining "hero" with some clips motivated me back to it.

It's really easy to spot a lesbian.

find out over time or just assume and then find out later they are straight and go "oh shit really dude? i thought you were gay"

Their fedi bio might say. If you don't know them enough to know where on the web they hang out then it's probably prying too deep to ask.

Why would it make it awkward to simply ask? If you've just met it's nothing more than a mere question, and if you've been friends for a while it's a given that you would know

Use Dillo. It only has ~80,000 lines of code. That's smaller than some terminal browsers, even. Firefox and Chromium are like operating systems w/ 10s of millions of lines of code. That's why compiling Firefox on Gentoo is a fucking nightmare. With Dillo, it just takes a few seconds. And minus the proprietary js attack surface since it comes without it because it's a legacy browser with its own engine instead of using Google/Apple like Otter browser or Suckless Surf.

i'm not using a browser called dildo

for a web browser to be called a "web browser" it needs to be able to browse the web. dillo cannot browse 99% of what is known today as "the web", therefore it is no longer a web browser. see how that works?

This is the stupidest way you could pitch Dillo, but it's been a while since I've tried Dillo, so I'll see if it has ublock style filters and javascript whitelisting yet.

You also posted this on Kiwifarms and it wasn't funny there either

Só que, como precisa dessas merdas pra panelar, isso era claramente uma psyop com um objetivo não muito claro e contraditório, já que ele se diz oldfag e defende publicamente os chans. Ele tem até o contato do traveco lá da câmara dos deputados e conversou com ele sobre isso Assumam ele como um Madara, que fica manipulando até conseguir objetivos. AMA.

what are some games that you think that insist upon themselves?
8 posts omitted.

Portal 2.

Portal had an ominous atmosphere with Aperture Science largely being a mystery, with it being uncertain whether they were as unethical as the test chambers would suggest or whether it's a result of GlaDOS taking over.
Portal 2 completely destroys that mystery by repeatedly insisting upon itself that Aperture Science was extremely unethical.. but only out of stupidity, then Valve makes Aperture Science a self-insert for their 9001 VR tech demos.

I get they weren't going to get through a much longer game without some kind of story that elaborates on Aperture Science, but the writers made every single aspect of Aperture Science goofy and wacky and lol robots ftw.

And then they had the barefaced cheek, the fucking bollocks, to complain that "the cake is a lie" was overdone, unfunny and had to be excluded from their wackiness.

>Get musicians and working actors with zero voice acting experience to voice your game
>end up with what's widely considered the best voice-acted game in history.

really makes you think
3 posts omitted.

>>47418
It's specifically an American thing. Even Canadians have better voice acting than Americans.

>>47419
>>47418
Traditionally most American voice actors were TV actors, so they had a wider range in their craft and could give regular performances which could vary in quality depending on the script but sounded much more natural, whereas VA's are mostly comprised of people who have done voice acting mostly for youtube meme projects or other Internet shit

>>47419
This, other countries had decades of dubbing US media under their belt (and japanese for France and Spain, when they found out you could buy anime license for incredibly cheap by the truckload), so professional voice acting has been substantially developed in Europe, whereas to this day the USA just pick celebrities and regular actors to do voice acting.

>>47422
Even my third-world country has quality dubs(they just cast TV actors who actually fit the roles) but the US is stuck between two extremes, big-name celebrities who probably eat up half the budget and youTube e-celebs.

Actors being good at voice acting isnt exactly unexpected, being very closely related to their main job.

Thats how good psyop works though. People don't come for the propaganda, but they leave with at least their unconscious mind changed.

Honestly, I'd argue that the first three Modern Warfare games, Black Ops and even Infinite Warfare are appreciable because they portray all sides as being filled with violent psychos willing to kill for their cause. The only real difference is that the Americans win in the end, but they're never really presented as morally superior. The remakes on the other hand are frankly crap because they try to inject a sense of moral complexity, but it just doesn't work.

So, i realized i want to be a mom a while ago, which had me crying a lot for days til i spoke to a therapist, and my endocrinologist.

And so i had to temporarily stop HRT and i feel like i'm dying, currently in a state of induced menopause for a couple of months more and my god, the cold sweats, my throat closes because of the anxiety, depersonalization and disociation makes it hard to do anything besides bedrotting and playing fast paced shooters that let me keep my brain in a constant state of focus in such tasks

and i swear to god, the only thing keeping me from letting me fall apart right now, since my mother decided to stop talking to me because i refused to boymode for her, it's my boyfriend and our future together raising our children in Spain and having them visit their grandparents in México- which hopefully won't go to hell because my brother's gen decide to elect a right winger as president of México to fuck everything up and sell everything to Israel and the US.

>>47399
I can see how "Kishotenketsu" is pretentious if you just mean to say a "story without a villain". The "engine grain" refers to how games made in the same engine tend to look similar, especially if devs don't fiddle much with the defaults, and I think it's an OK word. One must have a super-human sensing for when people are being pretentious if that word triggers something, though I can imagine such a person existing. But "invisible walls" is just self-explanatory. And "sound chip", wtf?

Hay una psyop masiva para generar odio contra argentina y justificar una posible intervención o lento takeover del país y sus recursos.

Por medio del mundial estan pintando al pais como una potencia sionista corrupta y despreciable. Estan habiendo demasiadas decisiones y doble vara arbitral que es dificil que sean todas coincidencia. Hay alguien interesado en generar toda esta dinamica, quiza para devolverle un favor a alguien y de paso indirectamente arrastrar polemica pero mejor no digo más. Despues del partido contra Egipto cualquier tipo de simpatia entre el pueblo que pudiera tener argentina en medio oriente y muchas partes del mundo directamente se evaporó.
Y por otro lado, llevan años queriendo pintar al pais como un pais racista, colonialista y hasta settler-imperialista por no tener negros en su seleccion o por sesgos historicos terribles que los anglosajones liberales y progres se tragan como bobos. Para muchos en su imaginario ya argenitina no es menos que el manifest destiny americano y por supuesto un estado ilegitimo.

UU.), sino italianos e ibéricos (es decir, los Europoids tienen más probabilidades de parecer mestizos). Argentina es tan poco blanca que un mutuo puertorriqueño mío que es tan moreno como Evo Morales logró mezclarse en Buenos Aires con facilidad.

Honestamente, es una puta broma cómo tenemos que entretener los delirios de Argentina sobre la pureza europea. Realmente espero que España gane la Copa del Mundo, los LARPers patagónicos no se lo merecen después de su comportamiento de mierda, superando incluso a los Limeys y estos últimos son conocidos por estar entre el peor tipo de turistas de la historia.

China Just Completely Erased America's AI Lead — Kimi K3 Changed the Game "Overnight"

<The US's long-held advantage in the AI race is over, Axios reports. Chinese company Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 model, released Thursday, beat American giants Anthropic and OpenAI in Arena benchmarks at a fraction of the cost.

I really don't get why certain conspiracy theories like the moon landing being fake and 9/11 being an inside job are so controversial on the left

Is it really implausible that the usa, the worlds biggest imperialist power, would be willing to do these things for the sake of personal gain?

And yet if i bring it up i'm treated like an idiot, "no they would never do that", even though they're perfectly willing to do mkultra and distributing crack in black neighbourhoods

Moon landing happened.

9/11 was an inside job.

Americans are just retarded. Even the official story makes no sense as a pretext for doing GWOT. The hijackers were Saudi, UAE, Egypt, Lebanon. Zero Afghans. Zero Iraqis, Zero Syrians. Zero Palestinians. The leader of the hijackers, Osama Bin Laden, was the son of a millionaire real estate developer, and helped the CIA overthrow socialism in Afghanistan.

You’re forgetting that Osama Bin Ladens family were business associates of George Bush’s family.
The whole 9/11 theory about it being a military operation is a common open discussion and there’s been televised specials about it.
I think it’s copium about being assailed by a foreign entity especially since the 1990s was marked by terrorist acts from domestic people.

They aren't controversial, pretty much every lefty and commie will tell you AmeriKKKans can't into space and September 11 was CIA's doing or they let it happen. Bring actually controversial stuff like China giving up on socialism after Mao died o algo.

Hey I’m new here and I was a 4chan user but I hate it now due to the right wing circle jerks

Anyways I just wanted to say that I think Israel might be actively trying to rise antisemitism in the U.S.


Like I’ve seen more anti Jewish sentiments spread online now and I think Israel by doing war crimes and a ethic cleansing with fucking atrocious acts of violence among children

This sickness me and Israel should know what it’s like to be in this situation because of history!!!

Who thinks the same

You can trust me

It's not a uniquely Israeli tactic, but they're absolutely doing it.

It has the exact same goal as the muslim terrorists who drive vans into crowds of shoppers during the winter holidays. Those guys know full well that doing that is going to make people hate them. That's kind of the point.

The biggest threat to radical Wahabbi power are muslims who just want to live a normal life. Get a job, meet a girl, watch football, teach your children how to ride a bicycle. The extremists need to radicalize those guys, and the only way to do that is to heighten islamophobia throughout western societies.

So the point of the terror attacks is to invite Europe and the US to be more racist. To surveil and imprison normal muslims, to heighten the hate, so that the Wahabbis can go, "you see? They'll never accept you. You'll always be a camel jockey to them. They've hated you for centuries and they'll always hate you. The only hope you have of a life is with us."

And Israel does the exact same thing.

Israel can't have jews who just want to be normal people, who don't consider themselves bound to Israel. So they need society to be antisemitic, they need non-Jews to hate and suspect Jews at all times so that they can turn to the Jews and go, "You see? The only place you can be human is in Israel. Everything that's good for israel is good for you and everything that's bad for it is bad for you."

The two groups most dedicated to convincing everyone of the Dual Loyalty trope are neonazis and Israelis.

>>1379
Islamophobia isn't racist and it's not a thing. There's plenty of white or light skin Muslims. Otherwise hating Christians is racist because 80% of them are Bantu Africans, Pinoys and Latinos.

I see a lot of people like in the article’s author, especially leftists, talk about it, and honestly? I’m not seeing it, at all. Maybe because I haven’t been active in the anime fandom for a decade by now (last discourse I got caught up in was the dumb flame war over “elitists” vs “casuals” on MAL), or maybe because I only consoome old (read: 1990s, 2000s and early 2010s) media because I don’t like much of contemporary media, but can’t say with certainty, but I just don’t see it.

Sure, perhaps the proportion of Japanese creators being chuds increased in recent years, but I don’t see that being particularly well-reflected in the current output of the Japanese animation and comic industries. The political messaging of 20th century and early 2000s anime and manga seems to be same as 2020s anime and manga insofar that both are all over the place in equal amounts.

Among “chuddy” anime, I can only think of GATE (literal JSDF propaganda), HighSchool Of The Dead (zombie shounen ecchi horror with big tiddie girls made by a far-right mangaka who hates leftists, supports the JSDF, a gun nut, and hates Koreans), and Frieren (what with the genocided human-like predatory demons being portrayed in deterministic ways in spite of showing signs of actual sapience the story never addresses), but that’s about it.

As for manga, the best I can think of as of late is Drama Queen with many seeing the aliens as allegory for immigrants in Japan, although many can’t decide if they’re supposed to be stand-ins for American/Euro expats, tourists, East Asian renters, SEA and SA migrant workers, Kurdish refugees, or a pastiche of all of them. But that’s like an exception compared to the shit-ton of manga that pushes feminist, anti-racist and other socially progressive themes.

I think it has already been discussed before, but Japan being NPC-topia combined with how being a busherite is deemed as the most acceptable way to express oneself in Japanese politics as opposed to, say, being a Maoist might have a lot to do with why a lot of mangakas seem to be chuds, which is easy as the majority of Japanese people in general are disconnected iPost too long.

>actually the protests are astroturfed by wealthy interests and homeless people normies dont care about the bases
Imagine being this cucked. What do they say when some marines rape someone or run them over, "meh it was probably a lib anyway"?

>>30252
It's only cucked if you consider every other japanese citizen part of your identity. (I thought nations were spook and shit ? :V)
They probably are outraged over that one individual that raped someone , but in the end if it's not a friend or a member of your family it's not your problem.


I think most mangakas tend to be right-leaning nowadays because, as others stated, due to dependence on funds from the Cool Japan state initiative, Japanese society’s obsession with harmony at the expense of individual freedom of expression, the NPC-coded hierarchical etiquette ingrained in the language itself, and most of all: Most mangakas then and now are basically either boomercons or petit bourgeois of the least educated nature, as opposed to educated petit bourgeois like Osamu Tezuka. Like, creators such as Hayao Miyazaki tend to engage with the real world, whereas the average mangaka get their inspiration from fanfic and other fiction which makes them more detached from actual people, and the results are there to see.

It’s not entirely “either/or” thing and many exceptions exist, but overall the petit bourgeois will always lean towards reactionary politics, and let’s face it: Most people involved in entertainment are either of the bourgeois or petit bourgeois sorts, so not surprising. Although this you already know.

The only interesting aspect is how much they filter even their domestic politics under the lenses of American culture war slopaganda. Culture brainrot, or a sign that the average Japanese chud wants to be American like all non-Islamic chuds? You decide.

i remember being really hyped for Skyrim in 2011
then playing it in 2016 and being like "this is just a frozen desert :T"

then i installed a shit ton of sex mods and it was when i realized that i didn't like having sex in videogames, til i started playing as a woman named, you guessed it; "lilith"
but it wasn't as immersive, so i casually tricked my parents into telling me the name i would've had if i had been born a cis female.

And it was "Sabina", and i loved it so much i just legally changed it to it :)

Good book on Jesus’ historicity, analysing not just every argument on the historical Christ but also giving a holistic assessment on how Christianity likely came to be, with a vigorous reference section. If you don’t want to buy it on Amazon, it’s available at z-library (link not given to avoid piracy charges).

Inb4:
>Muh Adam Green
>Muh Bart Ehrman
>Muh consensus
>Muh Christophobia

Yadda yadda, I know who Adam Green is, about the Ehrman talking point, and how this subject can be touchy to both Christcuck and e-crusader secularised midwits here, so I’ll be blunt here:

  • Adam Green’s background doesn’t invalidate his broader points on Christianity, the Bible, and Jesus Christ’s existence

  • The “consensus” doesn’t mean much since it’s mostly made up of Christians and Christian-sympathisers who engage in confirmation bias and gatekeeping to discourage any critical opinion on the historical Christ theory. Given that Ehrman himself relies on this very unreliable consensus for his book on Jesus’ historicity

  • Not believing in Jesus’ existence as a historical figure isn’t anti-Christian as many non-mainstream Christian sects like the early Church-era marcionites and gnostics assert the notion of a mythical non-physical Christ. On the top of that, much of Judaism (and by extension Zionism) rests on the notion of the Old Testament as being 100% true and historically accurate text, whilst Islamic doctrine holds the existence of a historical Christ. So by negating the existence of a historical Christ, and by extension undermining the value of the Old Testament as a historical text, Christianity and Islam and Judaism are effectively undermined

>Cites books that pushes the myth that Jesus was a real figure
Ok boomer

This sort of thing always makes me think of an old Soviet joke that goes like this:

Radio Yerevan was asked: "Is it true that comrade cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin was given a car in Moscow during the celebrations?"

The Armenian Radio answers: "In principle yes, but it was not in Moscow, rather in Kiev, and it was not a car, but a bike, and it was not comrade cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, but comrade highschool teacher Gagarin and his first name was not Yuri, but Leonid…and it was not given to him, but stolen from him…but in principle, yes."

This is what I think about when people talk about "Was Jesus a historical figure?" Well, in principle, yes. But he wasn't born when he was supposed to be born, and he didn't do most of the things that are attributed to him, and his name was not Jesus, but apart from being different in every particular…in principle, yes he existed."

And of course you can do this with way more people than just Jesus. Was King Arthur a historical figure? In principle, yes. Now his name wasn't Arthur and he wasn't english and he lived in a different castle and he wasn't king of the britons and he was actually a conglomeration of different warlords from different eras and areas…but apart from that, yes, Arthur was real.

Transexualism is the capitalist expression of people who want to change their sex. It has only been able to exist in capitalism since it is only now we can change our sex. Before now there have only been "3rd sexes" or genders such as the Hijra. But these are patriarchal constructs and represent pre-modern economic forms. We should defend them when they are under threat from reactionary, patriarchal, or imperialist forces, but they are not what we should aspire towards. Transexualism is bourgeois in the positive way, but like capitalism itself it has become necessary almost since the day it started existing, and now we must move forward.

Transexualism cannot be resolved in capitalism (or at least it can't be in the modern day) because there will always be people who cannot access sex change resources such as bottom / top surgery, hormones and for trans women FFS, which are all necessary. Even in the hypothetical most 'accepting' world ever where everyone has their gender respected these necessary things cannot be given to everyone because there will always be colonized people since capitalism requires imperialism. Trans welfare will never be able to be shared to everyone, and today things like FFS remain achievable only to the bourgeois and the highest section of the working class, leaving most trans women to suffer.

Transgenderism is a pysop in order to prevent the movement to resolve the contradiction of sex. It takes away the truly revolutionary demand for sex change / abolition with a phony acceptance, which is really just harmful. Gender is a patriarchal idea. Toxic woke stabs me in the back worse than others do because to them the end goal is me being unable to complete my transition. It is pure bourgeois idealism that must be combatted in order to achieve true revolutionary transexualism. It is even more harmful to non-binary people because only through surgery will others actually perceive them as non-binary. They are trapped by CIA idealists in their biologically sexed bodies.

Revolutionary transexualism understands that now we have the technology to resolve the contradiction of sex, and the only issue is that it is not distributed fairly. We must dismember the bourgeois imperialists and expropriate and extract their body modifications to share with the people. Sacrifice the oppressors on the altar to progress and let us be free as we are splashed by the blood from their still-beating heart. Gender idealism must also be Post too long.

The majority of trans women don't freeze sperm (~90%) despite the fact that HRT will cause at least some infertility; You can objectively change sex and some do it accidentally.

Moreover, the very definition of sex implies that whatever sum of physiological characteristics used to define "male" and "female" will be arbitrary and most likely able to change except by intentionally excluding trans people, in which case chromosomes aren't "functional" or "structural" and sex assigned at birth means almost nothing regarding current sexual characteristics.

That was pretty long but people keep on insisting that sex is binary not realizing that these are platonic abstractions rather than medical or natural fact.
