Can’t wait. Also really appreciate the fact that in my third world country it seems to be priced very fairly, instead of the usual “Original USD price converted + 20% more just because fuck you”.

it would have been so much cheaper to just start the xchan imageboard from scratch instead taking 4 years turning twitter into it

Hey thanks, no apology needed. In fact, I think you are making me think about giving the original another go now that I know about those mods.

btw i didn’t know that it was based on Roadside Picnic, haven’t read it, but I have in my reading list since I saw it mentioned in HyperNormalisation. Thanks.

Thank you for such a detailed comparison!

It seems that they are largely different in many aspects, but probably similar in the ways I most enjoy of a game. I actually tried to play STALKER once a long time ago and never really clicked for me, in part because of the same reason you mention, it was very wonky and didn’t run well at all, but I am willing to give this one a chance given that the same happened to me with the Metro series. One of my favorite parts of metro was the Caspian desert in exodus, which I would say is kind of an open world map, so maybe I can hope that this one captures me in the same way.

Thanks for the response, and let’s hope this will be a great one!

Nah, you are trying to salvage this situation by changing everything you meant. Suddenly you are trying to sanitize every reference you made to political ideology and try to dress up this as concern. Now you accuse everybody else of conspiracies and extrapolation when you used ‘suspicious’ (which has a very clear connotation about a malign or hidden background https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/suspicious) instead of ‘indicative’, ‘concerning’, ‘worrisome’, ‘troubling’. People can read, and they read ‘suspicious’ which along with your references to political ideology really says who is the one thinking about conspiracies.

People who turn conservative or less progressive don’t get into car accidents so if he did that’s unusual?

Yes it is, if you didn’t read the article and also know nothing about anything.

I hope it’s somewhat like the metro games, those are some of my all time favorites and absolutely would love more of something with that atmosphere and immersion.

nah, every little step is good and this ‘perfection or nothing’ attitude is very damaging to anything, including the personal and collective fight for rights and privacy.

oh, sorry this the shitpost community, no need for me yo lecture. good joke then, yes it can be taxing sometimes. that sponge is literally me.

They can say whatever the fuck they want and it even would be funny af. But most of the people there and a significant chunk of voting people here in the west are going to believe it.
