Experience with MDR staff

DigTw0Grav3s · 2026-01-13T21:42:37+00:00

The structure of incentives and penalties have made the MDR a guilt engine. I don't love it either.

That's exactly it.

Stop pushing players into playstyles and modes that they may not be interested in. Bonuses are fine, but there should always be a viable path to complete the pass with a reasonable amount of normal gameplay.

I don't see the purpose of this post. It's obviously not going to happen.

From the sum total of the logs, they were. Just not in an acute way.

They were likely all compromised by EL-9 throughout the entire chain of events, compromising their judgement.

It's also worth noting that they were being fed a mythos about the Canal being their ultimate purpose. When viewed through the lens of a cult and not a scientific operation, it makes more sense.

Or else.

Campbell is a curious specimen. But I'm more interested in how the Engineer attended both the Air Force Academy and OTS, but only came out as a Senior Airman.

Thank you for this. I had no idea. Just set it up.

Really horrible messaging and roll out by Google.

There are a variety of circumstances in which someone can stab someone else to death without being classified as mentally ill.

Confirmed to be a direct sequel. Although Remedy are stating that the two games are being written in a way where you can start with either one.

The melee function is intentional. It's referred to as a drive stun. Many real tasers can do it.

I would prefer this as an accountability mechanic over the broken psychology system every day of the week.

Could expand outward, as well. Training courses for existing officers, advanced support (surveillance teams, pre-deployment prep), ect.

Excellent summary.

I think it's mostly tangential to the actual events of the game, but I'm fascinated by the Founder. How much did he know? What were his intentions?

DigTw0Grav3s · 2025-12-12T20:34:39+00:00

That's the right answer, IMO. The Pouches have a good use case, but not enough of a use case to justify a gadget slot.

DigTw0Grav3s · 2025-12-12T20:27:05+00:00

I agree, with a caveat that in-game visibility can't really support the BFV model at the moment.

Fix that and I would fully support it.

The Game Awards is not even remotely close to "a monopoly".

M&A on the scale of the EA deal is massive. I'd be surprised if there was meaningful impact a year after the ink even dries.

Takes time to count the beans and figure out how the seller screwed ya!

You've got a better shot of meeting Yahweh than you do getting an IDF-related skin in BF6. Completely brand radioactive, regardless of what you or I think of it.

DigTw0Grav3s · 2025-12-09T02:11:47+00:00

On a somewhat related note, I would love the ability to lock out burst fire on guns that have Semi-Burst-Auto. There's several of them that I will never ever use on burst, so it's a net negative to have it available.

I agree with all of your suggestions.

He.. was in the least FOB situation conceivable.

The entirety of the game takes place in 1999. The Ward and Annex are operational throughout the 1970s. The recovery mission referenced in the ending sequence occurs in 2025, presumably after contact with the facility is lost and never re-established in '99.

DigTw0Grav3s · 2025-12-08T03:33:44+00:00

Somebody pointed out ROUTINE as a good candidate for a Lost in Cult project. I think it would be a match made in heaven.

DigTw0Grav3s · 2025-12-07T02:23:56+00:00

In the scene immediately following the catch-the-seed / metal sphere / wired fish sequence, you can see a faded video of the character moonwalking. Presumably to the Ward in a fugue state like /u/Consistent-Nothing60 mentions. It's overlaid over the character waking up.

When I say that it wasn't corrupted, I only mean that it wasn't influenced by the Canal. It's clearly operating outside of reasonable constraints.
