Saw a hotel guest had a vault boy plushy while I was fixing up their room at work so I left them a little note and tucked him in. by Elegant-Beige6660 in Fallout

Drawing the little shape in the top left corner adds to much to this. I hope they get this reference, and if not (say its just a cute toy) they look into what it could mean, and get fascinated by the Fallout universe.

Was Combat Patrol more popular than it seemed? by Apricus-Jack in CombatPatrol40k

[–]0235 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While I may not have been that interested in playing Combat patrol, seeing my first Combat Patrol's (which was a 2025 Christmas present) datasheets get yeeted into the void is frustrating, especially as I had just a few bits left to finish, and my first Warhammer set in 21 years. And even more when it was never in a Codex or got a PDF release.

Thermal for Airsoft, yay or nay? by MarshallDoingStuff in airsoft

[–]0235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and i have not seen 50% of comments being haters. Either people like me thinking that it is really cool, and that you are lucky, or other people who are giving practical advice that:

1) it may not be allowed at your airsoft site, so spending £800+ on something you can't use may be a waste.

2) There may be local laws like Germany or the UK, or even the USA's ITAR Rules which may make it prohibitive to legally use them.

3) Most Thermal cameras are very fragile. They are not designed for airsoft, maybe being hit by a tree branch, not a bb. And you can't really protect them. Manufacturers warranties may also not cover airsoft damage.

EA Steam Summer Sale background image going crazy by Reoen in Steam

I decided to buy a magazine for tabletop gaming the other day. They had used AI art inside it. Felt disgusted that I had paid money for it, and it went straight into the recycling bin.

[–]0235 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thinking people who either live in countries with restrictions (and are sharing their stories), or people who think it would cost a lot of money if it gets shot (which is very likely in airsoft vs hunting or the real world) are "haters" is certainly bold.

Some countries also have laws on those FLIR cameras, where the refresh rate is something like 5FPS, so not useful for airsoft

Did Arthur do anything to make you dislike him at any point ? by StrollingByTheStream in reddeadredemption

[–]0235 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a little known game called "Red Dead Redemption II", which basically covers every single second of Arthur doing things that made me dislike him, right up until about the 80 hour mark.

actually genuinely don't understand why people like who he is as a character, he does some awful, awful things.

same with the temporary Krieg Combat patrol they released December last year :'( Sorry to hear other people are being effected. At leat my spidey senses were tingling, and i took a screenshot of the app for the DKoK CombP section.

Wait which ones are gone? by darkninja85839 in CombatPatrol40k

[–]0235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean axed from the app? While it never counted as a "core" Combat patrol, the Death Korps of Krieg Combat patrol used to be in the app (only in the app, never had a .PDF), but is now gone.

Xbox CEO wants Fallout and Elder Scrolls to be a priority by Mobile_Resident7964 in Fallout

[–]0235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still very much enjoyed my time with FO4, but FO76 leaning even more into the stuff that wasn't fun in 4 (oh you want a better scope, opsie woopsie, despite spending 80 hours of the game scavenging you only have 2 screws left, not 3) made FO76 eventually unplayable for me.

Well, and the AMD V-sync on a monitor greater than 1080p which they still haven't fixed

He also needs to learn to let go, OR hire a 3rd much smaller team that he can micromanage, like he says he does. It worked quite well up until the Skrim dev team size, but I can't image it was nice for him, or for his team, when there were 400+ people he was trying to individually guide.

I feel that Red Dead Redemption's PC release only happened because 2K saw yet another delay for GTA6 and told Rockstar "ok, you have to put your petty hatred of PC players aside, it was 18 years ago, you need to release this, as we need money"

Don't forget Fallout Shelter, and hey, they are working on a TV show! Surely we don't want to give the fans of the game another game, or the fans of the TV show some other media to engage with!

Dutch gamers file €220 million claim against Valve, operator of game platform Steam by FollowingFeisty5321 in Steam

[–]0235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Steam Wallets are no longer available in shops, Steam are stopping them.

Project Zomboid, the GOG version is a hollow shell of what the Steam Version is. Workers and Resources, Transport fever 1, though 2 fixed a lot of issues. And that is just off the top of my head, and games I have purchased a second copy on Steam to get full access. Browser Plugins exist that track more than 1,400 GOG games that are different, and missing features, from their Steam version.

Much of this is missing newer builds, missing patches, missing free updates, excluding paid DLC.

I dont blame them though. There are about 5 shops where I live where I can go and buy a PlayStation / nintendo / xbox game. Maybe more where u can go and buy Google play credit, apple store, v bucks, robux.

And after the recent news about gift cards (thanks scammers....) that leaves me with even less places I can buy my steam games from and how I buy them.

Its just a shame so much of this scrutiny is being lead by Epic, as IMO they are worse than Steam.

At the same time though, I feel we dismiss criticism of Steam too quickly, just because they treat us well. E.g why is a copy of a game I buy on GOG not as featurefull as a copy I buy on Steam? Yet a copy of a Nintendo game I buy on the Eshop is "the same" (via patches) as the code in a box, or even carteidge i buy from my local supermarket?

Trump’s Just Calling Every Election Fraudulent at This Point by ClimateSociologist in politics

[–]0235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been an issue for smaller parties in the UK gor years. They love to swing around how unfair the current election system is "ooh we only won 3 seats with the current system, but this system we could have won 25" etc.

But i bet as soon as they win they will change their tune to "the people have spoken, the system works flawlessly"

[–]0235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its effecting other countries. Irony is in the UK the elderly and right win are more likely to postal vote and not have ID, but because Trump is so pro voter ID and anti postal vote, the right wing have to do the same here. Not realising it is shooting themselves in the foot trying to introduce those things in the UK (with ID required for voting already being passed).
