No fault of the design. It was meant for a particular role. It is being brought out and borderline misused in a different role. I can get behind loling at Russia, but this is like laughing at an M4 Sherman for not having ECM built in. I’d laugh at the people who rolled it into a modern conventional fight, but the design seems competent for the time and role.

The article’s premise is that this is a vehicle designed for a very particular role, which is now being brought out and used outside that role, illustrating how deep into reserves Russia is scraping for vehicles.

The article’s premise is that it is a very particular vehicle, the use of which points to scraping deep into the reserves.

Tim Cain is a creative guy. I would rather he spend his time developing new things rather than revisiting old.

I personally want a Fallout 1 remaster/remake, but I don’t see what value is added by Tim Cain being part of it. He already gave his input, somebody else can riff on it. (You know, hypothetically, since God Howard has declared his holy rays will never illuminate a remaster).

The guns in the original games would share ammo pools if they were of the same caliber, the article described a simplified pool by class of weapon.

So now rather than separate 5.45mm and 5.56mm you have “assault rifle ammo”. It sounds minor, but one of the aspects of STALKER has been inventory management and making the choice when to main one caliber. At least for me. Hence my waiting on mods.

As for the minimap, the article is describing an additional always on compass with quest markers in the style of the modern Fallout games. I hope to be able to turn that bit of visual clutter off, and also hope that the game isn’t designed so much with the assumption I’m using it that I can’t find objectives without it.

It seems better set up for mass market success, and I support this for the sake of the devs, but for me personally when I read:

Most weapons thankfully use interchangeable ammo types across the class

minimap has been replaced with a compass permanently affixed to the top of the screen, pointing to nearby points of interest and quest markers

I can only think “mods will fix this”.

Russian media: “The powerful and manly Russian Navy has sailed right up to the cowardly Amerikkka NATO degenerates, and they did nothing! They fear the might of Russia, just as their mercenaries in Ukraine fear it! All hail the T-14!”

Etc, etc.

It’s true that it’s an imperfect measurement, but it is the closest to a useful illustration that I have.

I’m trying to avoid the whole one upping thing while just warning that if Sriracha is given an example of peak spicy, I’d caution to start slow on Korean hot foods that are labeled with extreme packaging. Not saying don’t try, but small bites to check instead of diving in.

Are you able to parse the difference between people who eat hot food because they enjoy it, and people who don’t normally eat hot food being fed extremely hot food for YouTube clicks?

Frozen tteokbokki takes slightly longer to make, but is worth a few extra minutes.

I like the Ktown Mad Spicy as a pretty consistent go-to. You can make your own and go even hotter, but of course less convenient than frozen.

You might have a high spice tolerance, I don’t know, but if you are exemplifying Sriracha as an example, I would suggest caution. Korean spicy food doesn’t play when it says things like “2x heat!” on the package.

Sriracha is about 2200SHU, the recalled noodles are 10,000SHU.

If you enjoy Korean red paste, it’s a good heat, but some people don’t quite know what they are getting into. If you’re used to eating 100k or 200k SHU stuff, go for it, but I know there’s a lot of tolerance variation from 2k to 200k people.

Isn’t that basically Dusk?

He still is, but as he’s become a kind of mythical figure in gaming history he has also become so in universe.

He can’t keep getting away with it.

Doesn’t it? The people making the new game don’t want to dilute focus on their new product. When somebody searches for Delta Force on Steam, they want it only to return the new game. This is like when Rockstar pulled classic GTA: SA before dropping the remaster.

And that explains why the original games are getting pulled from steam/gog.

His review of Homeworld Cataclysm (“Emergence”) made me buy the game just based on how he talked about the plot and tone.

Because none of the characters in the picture know what they are doing.
