We all have some stories of friends we used to know and love but aren't there for us anymore.
any stories about you outgrowing your friends.
What happened for you to drift apart?
Do you miss them?

The Arizona mod has to be the best mod that has come out for the game in a long time.

For context, New Vegas’ map is unusually small. I’m the base game, only a third of region displayed is actually playable. What Nova Arizona does is add lore-friendly content to the otherwise unplayable sectors of the game. Nova Arizona is different from other world space mods.

Unlike the frontier or the DLCs, Nova Arizona’s map is seamless with the base game. You can walk from good springs directly to the new map without seeing a single loading screen. The legion also gets some long overdue representation in the game. Unlike in the original, you get to explore captured legion territory.

The mod doesn’t feel like a mod; it feels like a part of the base game.

glory kills (the gameplay mechanic) are fascist
they operate on a fascist logic
think about it

I have no arguments to back this, up, it just intuitively feels this way to me, so I will not elaborate

just wanted to talk about some rouge-likes, maybe discover some i dont know about yet and know wich ones are your favorites

The 1995 video game Command and Conquer, also known as Command and Conquer: Tiberian Dawn, is pro natoid anti third world propaganda.

The GDI is depicted as a multinational high tech military force aimed at "maintaining global stability" and countering terrorism - an idealized portrayal of NATO-like organizations. The Brotherhood of Nod, under Kane's leadership, represents a decentralized, guerrilla-style force often associated with anti-establishment or insurgent groups. This could be seen as reflecting Western anxieties about non-state actors disrupting the international (i.e. capitalist) order.

Nod is depicted as a quasi-religious, revolutionary movement that recruits heavily from impoverished and politically unstable regions, presenting itself as the voice of the oppressed. However, their methods of terrorism, mass manipulation, and fanaticism paint them as a dangerous and chaotic force. This characterization can be seen as dismissive of legitimate grievances that might drive revolutionary movements in the real world, reducing them to caricatures of violence and tyranny. Nod’s focus on harnessing Tiberium, a resource with both destructive and transformative potential, mirrors resource conflicts in the Global South.

Essentially the narrative is that those from these regions cannot responsibly manage resources without endangering global stability.

Kane may as well be Saddam Hussein

The best advice I can give to any new player is to put massive amounts of effort into your logistics. Production does matter, but most of the headaches in this game come from trying to deliver anything.

Watch tutorials if you have to.

Did anyone play this visual novel? I actually liked it a lot, yes it felt like it was written by a 17 year old but it worked. I liked the characters, they are very flawed and often a bit unlikable but by the end I came around to liking them. The story makes sense and is kind of good but it doesn't tell you what's happening at the beginning. Like it's kind of obtuse and difficult to understand who is who, what their relations are to each other and what the factions even want, but it explains it all to you at the end. It is a very idealist game though.
I played Pluto and the space faction because I am Zeon's strongest soldier and was really satisfied with the ending. I can't play different endings of VNs because it feels wrong so idk how they are like, maybe I will play one of the other characters like the really unlikable and completely like loads of people in my life character Saturn, and then go with the space faction because I don't want any other ending.

Taking into consideration how Hideo pretty much spot on predicted the situation we're now in as far as the information age with MGS2, and how he totally predicted a lot of aspects of COVID in Death Stranding, not to mention any of the other pieces he's seen coming, what do you think he and Jordan Peele have cooking with this OD game? I don't think there's anything out about it other than what we saw at the game awards.

there was a new york city mission planned in mgs 2 where the mothership crashes into manhatten, had to be cut bc 911 happened. he of course is part of the ingroup, death stranding is a game about being a mtf transhumanist & communism. no premonitions, he is in the know ofc. dont be a naive fool.

videogames are a psyop frm the beginning, cod is a military recruitment ad. bioshock created by ((ken levine)), deus ex conceived by ((warren spector)), inventor of the videogame console ((ralph h baer)), enough said.

<death stranding was about being a man and carrying a baby around in your artificial uterus (transhumanistinsm at its finest, so many are dreaming about having a uterus transplant), further about america being too individualistic and we need to bond together to be more inclusive and communist, otherwise we will not survive the parallel dimension alien invasion.
also weapons and killing bad, please give up your violent ways, americans, it makes the baby cry.

<recycling piss and shit into grenades and such, green propaganda, resource saving measures, reduce co2 or other such nonsense.

<MGS V was about covid

<DS is all about the upcoming division of america, the ideal for him was that we behave more like Sam and start making Bridges to reunite the country, which just seems very hard atm.

Why do you have to fight all the different races gods? Like in this game if you are non-human and ugly you are evil. You have to destroy all these different cultures but then you have to side with the obviously evil Ishgard. I don't want to do it though, I want to help the bandits, heretics and non-human tribes.

Going to be honest I hate MMOs, every one is reactionary. Unfortunately having friends means you have to play it.

Napoleon once said something important about the vulnerability that follows after any military victory. I don’t remember the quote. However, the meaning of it was simple. Territory won must be secured. What most tau players—and by extension, most people—tend to fail to understand about war is that there’s more to conquest than killing. It’s not enough to simply harass opponents with endless artillery fire and air strikes. If you can’t fortify the land you’re fighting on and can’t build a logistics system to secure it, then you might aswell have conquered an area covered in mines.
Part of why the tau struggle so much with the orks and the tyranids is because they fight even more obnoxiously than Americans. The tau are too reliant on range, stealth, and expensive-as-fuck equipment to win most of their battles, but struggle to commit to building fortifications that can ensure their expansion. The results of such nearsightedness include the Damocles crusade, literally any exchange with the Orks, getting their asses beat by generic basilisks, and more. It’s no surprise knowing that when tau forces try to take a fortified imperial world, all victories end up being more devastating than the phyrric victories the guardsmen deal with when up against heretics.
Tau players online are even more fucking obnoxious. Their entire beliefs and reliance on tech reek of ignorance of the importance of fortification and the logistical constraints of conventional war. It’s almost as bad as the rhetoric spewed by amerisharts that boast of their military’s technology while endlessly whining about getting their asses beat by insurgents.

Ffs the tau didn’t even get to have their own golden age before getting hit by the great rift.
