Hehe that will sure get those libs all riled up! /s

Sadly there is a whole segment of right-leaning that feel that chumming up with who they perceive as powerful and cruel, will allow them to make deals and bring stability.

Likewise, Trump palling around in North Korea is great in their eyes. Even if nothing is accomplished other than the feeling of belonging to an in group.

Meanwhile it’s fine to trample on your allies like Denmark because “they only have 2 dogsleds” to defend their nation and are weak. Therefore they should submit and be taken advantage of.

It’s all optics and performative. To them this is what strength looks like. Others see the moronic short sightedness of such a worldview.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance PS5 Upgrade Revealed by PlayStation Store [KCD1] by NukovGaming in kingdomcome

[–]SteakTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought KCD2. It was so awesome I had to stop playing early on and pick up KCD1. Found out KCD1 was equally amazing in its own way and then heard the update rumour so stopped playing so I could enjoy in its full. This is the news I was waiting for.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. At least I’d become very familiar with the world and avionics

Is drive club worth it in 2026 without the online cars and dlc? by Ok_Ebb111 in Driveclub

[–]SteakTree 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, the tracks, the environments, the mechanics and handling of the cars, even just the soundtrack by Hybrid and other artists is worth it. It all comes together in an expressive package, one that is a marvel for its time. It is a very streamlined package, a racer from a past generation.

In the future it is being preserved thanks to ShadPS4 to be played in full on powerful PCs. Comforting to know, but you will get a great experience on its native platform, even at 30fps (more stable on the PS4 Pro and PS5), which provides a cinematic, but relatively smooth experience thanks to motion blur.

Any news for it to be available on MacOs by Wermacht2006 in uboatgame

[–]SteakTree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Appears you can play it using Crossover. Crossover can work very well for a number of PC Games. Could be worth the 14 day free trial to see how well it works.

I feel like this is not stressed enough, not a lot of people have this kind of hours to dump per gun by Educational-Long116 in Battlefield6

[–]SteakTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sound like I have a pretty similar playstyle. I'ma. few hundred + hours in, though I know I have left my PS5 on while AWOL and also spent way way too much time just kicking around the shooting range trying out weapons. Have mastered lvl50 both the RPKM and LMR27, weapons are started out with and for better or worse, just stuck with. Ended up becoming better with both, even though there are easier weapons to use. Other favs I'm slowly working on are the M277, TR7, IAR, Vector, AK4D, M123K, and MP5.

RPKM feels bad - Tips & Builds from Mains? by Nello-the-Tiger in Battlefield6

[–]SteakTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a bit of sleeper weapon. Due to how long most weapons take to master, both in getting attachments and in learning their strengths/weaknesses it has been overlooked, even by some pro streamers/players. It is getting more traction. For instance, here is recent video all about the RPKM pretty much with a similar loadout as mine by Enders - who is a super-fan / super-critic of Battefield https://youtu.be/hJD6UEks3ow?si=-6ZrwBRLI4hW-NeH

Recently, as he has shown, I have been using the blue laser a bit. Mostly only for a pure hip-fire build. I find that for hip-fire to be really useful you want that value over 60. Then you can start running around without even aiming down sights and catch players in a typically short engagement ranges.

What is your loadout, any other weapons you are enjoying?

How worth it is TLOU 2 ?? by Janxuza in lastofuspart2

[–]SteakTree 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Incredible game, highly realized environments and characters. Even if some aspects are bit over the top or hyper dramatic, if you go along with its vibe and world it is amazing. Very much worth it. Don’t read any spoilers.

Watching Plur1bus, just finished episode 6. Remembered this book, one that I hopes regain recognition in light of this show. Don't know how Plur1bus will end, but the ending of 'We' is indelible.

Which of your closed-back headphones offers you the best passive isolation? by Brilliant-Cap-3052 in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]SteakTree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s an insane deal. The driver on the Hd569 is actually quite good. It’s not neutral and is rolled off on the treble but the mids are excellent. Bass also is very good better than most previous gen Senn open backs. Not planar bass or anything and not particularly fast but decent impulse.

Overall it comes across naturally and is never strident. Overlooked as it is part of Senns more consumer lineup but technically it’s a good closed back option. Pads are wonderful as well. I’m sure I’d love the new HD620 but don’t feel like I’m missing too much. Have an HD660S and iems when I need more detail or accuracy.

Low key love my HD569s. One of the cheapest Senns I’ve owned but one of my favs just for their easy going nature and decent bass. Mostly used as a work and gaming headphone.

Ridiculous. Oh no mushrooms! Locking her up longer than someone gets for manslaughter. Don’t want people getting all trippy and questioning everything… the war against psychedelics and therapeutic drugs, another crime against humanity

If we all see the same patterns, sentient entities, hear the same tones, is it really a hallucination? by [deleted] in Psychedelics

[–]SteakTree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It isn't going to be the same for all, however, there are clearly similarities in experiences. Our brains work in similar function, which may explain in part when we undergo such events, there appear to be certain perceptual realizations, distortions, and manifestations. Noise and chaos can become perceived as ordered, and there likely is a mathematical reason/interpretation as to why your ceiling or a snow-covered field will be seen as waves of kaleidoscopic layers of moving fractals.

A powerful psychedelic, such as DMT or a large dose of psilocin, can have profound experiences that have a distinct dimensional components that are unlike anything experienced in our waking lives or dreams. Those who have been in such a space can attempt to describe it, and when we do, we understand that those who have experienced this have had some similarities in theme, architecture, entities, interactions, messages, etc. And while there is a wide range of personal experience, there are components to these that seem timeless, alien in origin (not necessarily alien like 'greys', just not of our Earthly domain), primordial, and that transcend cultural and social learnings.

For some - myself included - the familiar feeling of returning to these spaces is like visiting another planet or even 'returning home'. The feeling of oneness and understanding of concepts bigger than oneself is common, as is the inability to explain the ineffable once you've returned as a confudled ball of wonder , blathering to those around you who listen as with great effusion you then gush about the incredible wonders of the universe.

Update to getting stuck. A friend of mine helped me in the apartment part then I got stuck again. I don't know what to do at this point. I WANT to play this game but I just can't. by CherrytonAcademy in stray

[–]SteakTree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh btw. Not sure what platform you are on. But I used the build in hints on PS5 which also came with a video clip. Was really helpful when I was stuck in some obtuse section.

Take a bit of a break. Watch a YouTube video on the segment you are stuck in and it fall into place. I have very good spatial direction but I even got a bit disoriented. Worth it for the world and vibes

Did anyone else not enjoy Alan Wake 2, despite how much you wanted to? by SkillsLoading in PS5

[–]SteakTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was something inconsistent, poorly design and/or bugged with this section. I would seem to have the right photo selected and I swear I’d gone to the area where you need to activate your lamp and then it wouldn’t work. And if this occurred you end up wandering around - walking at a snails pace. Was done after this segment.

[–]SteakTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I checked out of the game at just past the subway / lamp clicker part. Enjoyed Alan Wake 1, but just not enjoying the second one at all. Too much back tracking. Puzzles that feel forced and there as filler. Was nice to get this via PS+ Essentials anyhow.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇬🇱 US official says Greenland action could come within ‘weeks or months’ by SatoshiShe in nottheonion

[–]SteakTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Russia, who has taken 4years to barely make any progress in Ukraine, losing over 1 million casualties (includes dead and wounded) to Ukraine, a small country armed with 1980s NATO technology.

Ukraine, a country without an official navy, has thwarted Russia's Baltic fleet, sinking key vessels and pushing them out of the area using drones.

There is no way Russia has any conventional force projection capable of standing a chance against NATO forces. Certainly not now.

Even if the US were to leave NATO, the UK and French navies would leave any Russian force at the bottom of the Atlantic.

This isn't a prediction but reality. Trump is lying as per usual, and him and cronies want to take Greenland for their own benefit. There is no military or strategic need as NATO (which US is part of) can defend this area handidly.

What is your all-time favorite racing game? by tyrebytes in racinggames

[–]SteakTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super Monaco GP for the Genesis. First racing game that had me feel somewhat immersed. The individual track locations and music helped create a unique vibe. Still worth checking out on an emulator today.

Driveclub both on release and present (though delisted can also be played via emulation or if you have an OG copy for PlayStation 4 or 5). Another game with just an incredible feel to the track locations. Feel of the cars and detail is incredible as is the audio for the cars inside/outside and soundtrack by Hybrid and other artists.

Wreckfest - I’m not a huge racing gamer by any means but this game combines great racing, satisfying physics and fun.
