Well, time for me to start giving more attention to my jellyfin server that is running side by side with Plex… let the enshitification begin!

Don’t like it? Don’t watch, move on, find something else you like.

Game was playable since the first patch… got worse in some patches, and much better after 1.1.3 and 1.2.1 but it is mostly playable without issues. Get some mods, like UEtools and most of the issues can be fixed from the command prompt.

Previous games were a mess as well, I learned Lua to fix the stuff on the fly, and had a ton of fun. Stalker 2 is a lot of fun! I am on my 5th play through… all endings plus variations to cover all areas and quests.

Ask Canada… oh, wait!

WOMP WOMP WOMP, EH?

I am with you on that. My regret is not visiting Yellowstone earlier…

Even with the orange turd gone, the people who elected him and empowered the republicans to do this mess are still there…

Funny how that goes, eh? Same thing happening in Canada!

The breakdown by age group is EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE of what I expected to see… makes no sense! Don’t blame GenX and Boomers for our future problems…

Too polite… has to be on the same level as the OP’s expression.

I respectfully disagree. Proportional Representation would give the NDP a good chunk of the Liberal and Conservative seats, and then we could have a real coalition government!

How about the Brazilian “I am shitting and walking” (cagando e andando), similar to a horse or donkey that shits while walking and pulling a cart, like it is nothing, without a care in the world…

He made clear in his initial campaign that he would do electoral reform and implement proportional representation… until he was in and realized that First Past the Post would keep his party in power. He lost all support of the young and progressive voters.

Mine, highly modded, inside a gutted Atari 400 box. Has a homemade hi-res module 256x192, Sound board AY-3-8912, homemade keyboard, modified ROM with extra functions, dual boot with assembly compiler, 10KB ROM, 6KB Static RAM, 16KB Dynamic RAM.

Still have mine!

What he said… My only crashes happen in Rostok while trading or interacting with my stash… no reason or rhyme. I have been limiting my interactions with traders to 30-60 seconds and save in between… no issues. Performance wise, it it much better and I can’t remember the last time I had to save/load to restore performance, seems to be fixes on its own. 5700X/3070-8Gb

There are fixes, and a-life offline seems to be doing its own thing in the zone, for good or bad. I just had one instance after patch 1.1.3 where an NPC sneaked up on me from a seemingly impossible place, but much much better than from 1.0.1

Sorry, we are too busy playing the game right now. Update 1.1.3 is pretty good fixed most of the issues (still leaks memory and locks up in Rostok, though) 100% playable… good hunting stalker!

The game is fun, especially if you are a Stalker lore fan, just revisiting all characters and places, blended in a new story. There are bugs, true, but the 1.0.3 is very playable with minor stuff that needs either a quick save/restore or restart the game in the rare occasion. The mechanics are simpler than Anomaly and Misery or other modpacks like EFP or Gamma, which might be a positive for a broader audience, but the spirit of the game is there, progression through equipment, the atmosphere of the labs, and the choices that change how the story progresses very early on. That said, the original A-Life is still 10 times better than the new one, or so It feels. Hopefully this will be addressed in future patches. Even if the game didn’t work at all at launch, I still feel good about it being the ONLY game I paid full price and pre-order.

I was gonna recommend Windows… … but you guys do whatever you want around here!
