In said interview, Grossman told the site that “Musk plainly imagines he’s the JC Denton of this world—a plainspoken everyman, standing up to the elite. As is obvious to everyone, Musk is the one with power and he’s just pathologically incapable of honest introspection.”
And even more scathing: "I would say Musk is like a Deus Ex villain, except that the franchise doesn’t have any villains as whiny and self-servingly delusional as he’s shown himself to be.
I have been saying, for I think years now, that Elon thinks he is JC when he is actually a even cringier version of Bob Page.
He literally had JC as his Twitter avatar for like a year at one point.
Its so fucking pathetic.
I guess I am glad the actual scriptwriter agrees.
Elon is the fakest try hard gamer that has ever existed, landing us in a reality that is somehow more absurd and ludicrous than even the wackier elements of DX, all because daddy didn’t love him and he just wanted to be cool.
Cyberpunk as a genre is a warning, not a fucking aspirational instruction manual.
I guess we can only hope he neuralinks up his own brain at some point, and then shortly thereafter discovers the folly of making it use bluetooth.
It’s an interesting game and it has some good ideas, but it’s incredibly janky. I’ve seen single devs develop games in less than a year that have better animations.
But despite it’s rather dated look and it’s clunky controls it does have a very large map and a large play account per map. That’s quite attractive to some people.
Although personally I suspect people are going to come up with a better version of the game in battlefield via portal.
It would probably be cheaper and easier to buy the cheapest copy of EFT and mod it with SPT and FIKA co-op compared to paying full price for battlefield and having to mod that INTO tarkov.
I’ve been reading a lot of comments that make it sound like portal is a new thing, but it was in 2042 too and was incredibly underwhelming. Did something new happen with it that I don’t know about?
It is a looter shooter (a shlooter, if you will) cranked up to 11. Since now you need to actually be vulnerable while you spend time sorting through the loot pinata you just shot rather than holding a button to vacuum up all the purples and oranges.
And when you get into an actual gunfight with someone, it genuinely feels like you are in a big budget “prestige” action film as you play cat and mouse, barely miss someone, take a shot to your chest plate, and are frantically trying to wrap a bandage around your arm while listening for footsteps or, even worse, a grenade.
Then you add the humans into the mess and it all goes to shit. Because now? They know where everything that matters for progression is on a map and just camp it. There is no gunfight because they are just aiming at where you head will be when you bend down to get the key you need to unlock a vendor.
So then you need to watch a bunch of videos online to learn where the popular camping spots are for every extraction and objective. Which means THEY need to watch videos to learn where to hide to camp those anti-camping spots and so forth. And, because Tarkov is so hardcore, nobody has any maps or compasses and you need to memorize the layout of every single map visually.
And if you DO luck out and actually get one of those gunfights? Yeah… the other person has been playing the game for 90 hours a week and has L5 body armor that you literally can’t penetrate without half a mag. And they have thermal scopes and armor piercing rounds that shred through your plate carrier instantly.
And that assumes they aren’t just hacking where you get the telltale sound of a burst going from between the center of your head to just above it as your body falls before the audio shuts off.
All that said: Tarkov with the SPTarkov mod is actually fucking amazing. Although you still have the problem of needing to memorize maps because paper maps cost a lot of money and take up slots because The Failed State That Is Totally Ukraine doesn’t have photocopiers or even scraps of paper to jot down landmarks on while staring at one of the few maps in The Legally Distinct And Much Less Interesting Zone.
Another fun tarkov-ism. Because the game is so realistic, you have no idea if you are injured unless you bring up your inventory screen or have suffered a catastrophic injury. So you basically have to bring up the inventory screen any time you hop off a ledge or go through the bushes in case you broke your leg or got snagged on some barbed wire and need to apply a tourniquet.
Would a federated discovery frontend work? Peertube’s back end of the service would probably work great as a starting point since it uses torrents to ease up on traffic for individual servers
Good, the game needs some fresh leadership. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that on the same day they announced this, Bungie also announced that all previous season passes will soon return to a kiosk in-game and you can finish them at any time (yes like the Helldivers model). Plus, players who never got the pass before will be able to buy them for a pretty reasonable price (around $6 USD I believe).
Does this mean that sunsetted content can be played again (ie the original campaign)? If so I would mayhe consider getting back into it. Otherwise I still have no interest in returning
No, I think Forsaken (Dreaming City) is the oldest content still in the game. If you want to see the old campaign I’m sure there are playthroughs on YouTube you could watch.
Considering I payed to play those campaigns, not watch them on YouTube, I’ll just save my time. Warframe has scratched the Destiny itch for me in recent years while also respecting me as a customer
Hey at least they are getting a heads up, valve nerfed bunny hopping with the cs 1.6 patch out of the fucking blue, and it really decimated the tfc communities skills, as many of the best left the game.
Maybe? I’m not that deep in “gamer” culture, so I always just thought of it as descriptive of a particular intensity of play that leads to sweaty palms. We all experience that from time to time, some prefer it, others don’t.
Super hyped for 1.0, been playing for about 2 years now 1.4kish hours and its just gets more fun with every update. Can't wait to actually be able to escape. Perfect game if you want an FPS that doesn't require turbo fast uber accurate wrist breaking flick shots. Hell chilling in one place for 5-10 is a smart strategy sometimes.
Really looking forward to getting back into this. I keep trying these fast past multiplayer shooters and I generally get wrecked. Picked up EFT a few years ago and really enjoyed. Do you have any advice on finding groups to play with? I’m sure their discord has a LFG channel most likely.
Honestly a good way I found is with small streamers on twitch. Find someone who looks cool and say hi, most of the community is nice and if you ask for help on quests or if they play with viewers a good amount will say yes. This leads to getting into smaller discords with generally pretty cool people in them. Some of my recommendations are MortakkW, WhosJason, and McHayla. All pretty good people. All different vibes.
I can’t speak to those streamers in particular but Anissem (and whoever else) should understand that milsims inherently attract chuds. And Tarkov above and beyond because nikita and BSG are… very very very pro-russia.
Not saying that everyone who plays tarkov is a fascy chud. But if you are looking for a community to hang out in, maybe listen for some dog whistles.
Which is why I wish Incursion Red River had taken off more. Set in fantasy war that never ended Vietnam so it is borderline The Last Jedi in that chuds just can’t talk about it without spewing hatred and bigotry. Whereas it is a lot harder to tell if someone is just a gun nut masturbating over an AK or if they are making it clear they think Ukraine should be a breeding farm for putin.
Kind of off topic, but one of the most popular modders for SPT, SolarInt (who created the massive AI overhaul SAIN), is actually hired by the team behind Incursion Red River to upgrade their enemy AI behavior!
Apparently he called BSG and never heard anything back - their loss XD
