The chat bubbles are the best part about deadlock.

I pirated the space marine game, turns out they didn’t use denovo because they made the AI squad mates useless to the point that coop is necessary on the harder difficulties.

Going back to tainted grail. The one in early access shows a lot of potential as an inheritor to the Bethesda mantle. It’s basically a grimdark Arthurian myth elderscrolls-like. The IP is near morrowind levels of weird, but combine that with dark delusion meets Skyrim gameplay (even down to stealth archer being optimal, for better or worse). The roguelite card game is also very good and even weirder.

Happy to help, if you encounter any annoyances please feel free to harangue me for my bad advise /j

Gold weight = 0 mod. It’s realistic to have weight, but if you’re explore everything, pickpocket everyone, and loot everything type like me it becomes an issue to have as much as gold as you can get.

I highly recommend browsing the mods by Pavelk. A mod creator who specializes in QoL improvements.

At least one camera mod, the environments are gorgeous and the vanilla camera is too limited to fully appreciate.

I like the wasd movement mod, but you can get the same result and a bonus camera angle by just plugging in a controller and swapping between inputs as you feel like it.

There’s a mod that notifies you when you’ve unlocked camping events. I try to minimize my amount of long rests so this helped me not miss characterization and fluff events.

Much like mmorpgs and fromsoft, fashion is the endgame (literally, very few fashion merchants until act 3). If you want drip early find a mod to make it so.

You can use a mod for this, or add a steam parameter, but launcher skip is recommended.

Improved ui

Auto sorting containers (it’s a Larian game). I used bags bags bags on my last run.

Visible shields is one that I only recently discovered and love it. Stores shields on the back instead of them disappearing.

Mind if snag an invite? I’ve heard great things.

All those games are great, not what I thought you were getting at, but great nonetheless.

Never played SMO, might have to emulate it at some point.

Mind naming any? I have massive nostalgia for that era.

This killed overwatch. The comp scene hated everything that made it fun and ow2 is league light in terms of toxicity as a result.

Quake wars had the right of it. You have in-match progression, not meta progression. Go on a massive spree? You unlock cool new thing until match ends. The dopamine ladder has no limit because you reset every time you load in, but it’s a fair field because even the seasoned vet starts at rung 1 at the match start.

Never got to play the Wolfenstein one, heard good things.

It goes further, in the lore the bugs produce space oil. The bots were used as labor, rebelled, and now exist as robo space communism. The high command refuses to fully win against the bugs because they produce the space oil. They can’t win against the bots because they build fleets with uploaded backups into deep space and whenever they lose their homeworld a reclamation fleet comes out of hibernation. Similar to how the conditions of capitalism always lead to a new workers movement and class consciousness.

The desire to place a kitten on the table and just let it go wild, after the planning was over of course.

Thank you for explaining in detail. Good post! I think it really gets at feelings many of us, perhaps even all, comrades have.

If the interviewer brings up personal life/trying to get to k ow you stuff be totally willing to expand on your interests. The interviewer is filtering k personal skills. Simply being able to talk about a hobby is a form of bridge building between people they seem to value. Create a script. Imagine a person asks you about your free time, have conversations in your head with the fictional person.

Do the same for talking points related to your resume. Everything you put on there is a potential question they’ll ask. For example, put that you have experience with security and they are you to ask about what you’ve done or know regarding that. Pre-write an answer.

My best advice is thus: pretend to be a jacksss gatekeeper and read your application from that perspective. Write down your critique. In your head argue against that and write it down. Memorize those talking points.

Yo, could you please expand on what you actually meant? If I was totally of base, and I believe you when you say I was (being the author and all) I really would like to learn what the authorial intent was. It’s a good post, just a misunderstood one that has prompted discussion

Oh, and you are correct. I took the “lie” part as foundational and interpreted from there. I replied under the assumption you were being literal.

A mature response! please don’t lose sight of the other part, you made a dope observation and provoked thought.

The body doesn’t make it clear you’re engaging in poetry, after reading the comments it becomes clear. No need to be dismissive of those who took it at face value.

That being said I think you’ve had a cool idea/angle of approach to the topic.

I would question the morality of a movement that forces people to, even falsely, experience capitalism for the sake of creating a soldier whose hate is pure. Perhaps, such an evil is truly possible that this becomes justified. Perhaps capitalism and communism managed to both spread through the stars and that is the way to genuinely teach those who would fight against interstellar capitalism of the true depravity they exist in opposition too. A proper education system would probably do the trick though.

If the person responsible for the cryo chamber is reading this, my hate was pure a long time ago and just wake me the fuck up already.

You can’t tell? Seriously? Conservatives only criticize one specific fascist party because it cynically used socialist in the name. If somebody is critiquing any other form of fascism, with the infrequent outside of WW2 obsessed Americans, exception of imperial Japan) it’s a safe heuristic to assume its form the left assuming no dog whistles are being blown.
