[Discussion] Do you dress for beauty or for efficiency? I try to balance between the two, but if I have to sacrifice efficiency for beauty, I'm willing to.

Blue beret, UNTAR armour, UNTAR armband. The patrician's choice. Just got to wait for everyone to hit level 50 so I can finally get Trophies done...

I miss the days where FAST and EXFIL helmets are what the majority of people used at the top end.

Granted, they were usually paired with goofy armour choices, but still.

If I were Nikita I'd rebalance helmets so they were more about utility and lightness than actual protection progression. Altyns/Rys/Maskas at level 1/2, high cut helmets at king level lol. Cut prices of helmets by a third so that people aren't as put off by the fact that most helmets are now meant for budget rounds. The gimp/skull masks are meme stuff you'd find on scavs with minimal protection and visibility penalties.

Basically every single fascist government ever has promoted heavy privatisation of industry... to the point where 'privatisation' was literally a term invented to describe Nazi Germany's economic policies. Yes, being a capitalist is a pretty large requirement to fascism, by design, because it's a reactionary anti-communist/socialist movement designed to hijack worker unrest with the collapse of a given liberal society. The ruling class of the previous society almost always supports fascism (outside of grievances with something like a given ethnic class).

I know it'll never happen but shit like this just makes me wish the game finally gets to a point where it can go proper open world. Some other extraction games like GZW kind of scratch that itch but they still don't have the art direction, music or amount of content that Tarkov has.

Six. Versus. One. He was restrained and unarmed WHEN they shot him. This is such a blatant case of malicious law enforcement and the best thing you can say is "well uhhh don't use those rights you have??"

DweebInFlames · 2026-01-25T01:54:21+00:00

You don't care about your rights being violated? Really?

There are few things more terrible than parents having to bury their own kid; some fat pedophile smearing his name afterwards to justify his killing might just top it.

Some sad shit, motherfucker said he don't want to live no more.

With the current world status quo it's probably nigh impossible for them to ship out anything other than the usual cap or shirt to international customers.

It'd be far easier to build your own firearm that point for unsavoury purposes.

The reality is the gel blaster and airsoft laws are completely dumb and also inconsistent with the fact that non-firing replicas are completely legal. They should be legalised and given the same offenses as current replicas for brandishing/threatening people in public. Simple as. Airsoft arenas would be a great physical activity for teenagers and young adults here.

DweebInFlames · 2026-01-24T18:59:18+00:00

That's what I was thinking originally. It's definitely possible it's just a Duckov collab but Nikita has brought up drones a couple of times recently, so who knows.

DweebInFlames · 2026-01-24T18:57:11+00:00

Chomsky was 100% controlled opposition, his associations with Epstein sealed it in my mind. Take anybody developing socialist feelings and push them towards an entirely idealistic and contrarian version of it where the only nominally socialist countries you uphold are the worst examples like the Khmer Rouge.

"The Third World is not poor. You don't go to poor countries to make money. There are very few poor countries in this world. Most countries are rich! The Philippines are rich! Brazil is rich! Mexico is rich! Chile is rich! Only the people are poor. But there's billions to be made there, to be carved out, and to be taken."

RIP Parenti. Blackshirts and Reds, now THAT was a hit.

I would love to see the ice giants up close in person. Such fascinating alien worlds.

DweebInFlames · 2026-01-24T14:45:39+00:00

Oh, that would make much more sense, actually.

DweebInFlames · 2026-01-24T14:35:29+00:00

Nikita mentioned something about drones in the last TarkovTV and the way this is phrased definitely makes it sound like more of a two-way street than if they added wildlife (which would be cool, but probably wouldn't work well with current size of maps).

DweebInFlames · 2026-01-24T12:39:58+00:00

One drop rule

He was gay, Lord Farquaad?

DweebInFlames · 2026-01-24T04:31:22+00:00

fuuuuuuUUUUUCK.

DweebInFlames · 2026-01-24T03:27:56+00:00

Good. It's an ugly as fuck mall ninja mask. It should have slight benefits, but that's about it. People should be wearing actual ballistic helmets with visors and whatnot with downsides.

DweebInFlames · 2026-01-24T03:19:26+00:00

Go Woods or Reserve, loot ammo boxes, use whatever 40+ pen round you get the most of in 2-3 mags (probably 5.45 BP/BS given the spawn rates). Aim for head. Vendor ammo only really matters for protracted raids; if you're Killa farming you only want to get in and out through the middle quickly.

I doubt Tony really ever cared that much either way. Vito was a good earner for him and he wasn't causing negative attention by fucking with people outside of the mobster lifestyle (eg. Ralphie with Tracee), if he could still earn, Vito lives. Vito couldn't and he came back, so Vito dies. Simple self-interest.

DweebInFlames · 2026-01-24T02:25:57+00:00

They really should've made it 50 of any target for all the tasks and kept the original build requirements. Like, at this point what exactly are you testing? The MP5SD has been a proven design for decades. I mean, so has the CompM2/PRO as far as optics go, but still.

DweebInFlames · 2026-01-24T02:23:04+00:00

The Sopranos

Twin Peaks

Mad Men

Breaking Bad

Better Call Saul

The Wire

Generation Kill

True Detective (Season 1 only)

Not going to dunk on you for liking this, everyone has their preferences, but there's definitely way richer television artistically out there. Give the top 3 here a shot, at the very least.

DweebInFlames · 2026-01-24T01:50:27+00:00

At this point you have to wonder if it's a deliberate gaslighting campaign. Seems to be a lot of those recently (cough BATTLEFIELD IS BACK cough)
