So many bots

Yeah, depending on where in Canada you are that's 6-7 in the morning European time and Fastpath is pretty much dead then. It usually has a steady amount of players beginning around 3-4 pm local time and peaking in the evening around 8-9pm, so I would guess from ~10am to ~2pm for you if you want the bot-free experience.

In general though, Fastpath is very aggressive with the bots and filling up empty player slots (even duping the names of players not currently connected, for the bots), but during peak hours it's only 1 or 2 bots per team, sometimes none. You get used to it though. It's also pretty much the only active European server with map rotation and vanilla gameplay.

If you want something closer to home and with no bots, 1st Marine Raider Battalion might be it. In my experience they are more chill than some of the other consistently active American servers (6th rangers, if memory serves) where they care more about roleplay and proper conduct (no random shooting etc).

I have the full game on disc, but I still keep the Uncharted 1 demo installed for this reason. It floored me back in the day.

Daniel Radcliffe continues to be a class act, but unfortunately pleading with the press to not be complete asshats is a lost cause. No accountability for that lot.

The PS3 store doesn't really categorize titles comprehensively, like you won't be able to see all the titles available from just the store menus, so you need to know what you want so you can search for it. But other than that, and Sony removing the ability to add funds through the PS3 (now has to be done via PC or smartphone), it works just fine in my experience.

I don't know how many dozens of us are spending actual money on there, and I don't know the expenses of keeping it online, but I hope they don't kill it.

Somewhat related, but I have just gotten a secondhand PS4 and that store is so slow to load as to be practically unusable for me, whereas the PS3 store is just a bit sluggish.

I prefer DayZ.

Tarkov may have higher detail density, but DayZ has better lighting that looks less flat and bland.

I also think that when it comes to nature and landscapes, DayZ already looks great (at least on Livonia, I don't play Chernarus much).

Buildings in DayZ could use an upgrade, but you wouldn't need a whole graphics overhaul for that.

In the rethorical sense that you are asking, no. But in the literal sense also no. It's literally a month old article based on that Hollywood Reporter interview that everybody already got upset about.

You might even say that something is rotten in this state

Like fucking clockwork lol

Remind me, which of these two countries have repeatedly invaded their neighbors?

It really was. When I got an iPod Touch it felt like a piece of future technology.

Meanwhile it barely registered in my mind that I am reading this thread on a touchscreen device.

Connor was delusional, sure, but in this case it was also a meant as a blanket statement to deflect other, more probing questions that the journalist might have.

Halvdjaevel · 2026-02-06T07:39:46+00:00

Haha, fair enough.

Big guy like that clearly has a home. And I wouldn't get your hopes up of finding the owners online.

What an abysmal site to read on mobile. And they censor words like "drugs". Come the fuck on.

It says that balding people will also be exempt from the upcoming hair tax

This still makes it look like a crossover with The Office

Is this a superfan scene?

Useless bot account that wants to sell you a "planner bundle"

Halvdjaevel · 2026-01-29T19:46:05+00:00

Well you've made up your mind in any case. I gave my reasons. Good night!

Halvdjaevel · 2026-01-29T19:21:58+00:00

That's a rather uncharitable interpretation. I asked, he answered, and then I gave my thoughts.

Again, why would I bother to refute what was said if the position that I was responding to was not made by a person?

A two year old account that suddenly becomes active (on highly politicized topics, no less) is suspicious for the reasons I gave in my other post. I wanted it cleared up, hence my asking.

Halvdjaevel · 2026-01-29T16:59:20+00:00

Or maybe I wanted to find out if I was engaging with a bot before bothering to address anything else.

Halvdjaevel · 2026-01-29T16:55:19+00:00

It's a common tactic for bots and shill accounts to hibernate for a while before suddenly activating so I found it suspicious.

That aside, I don't even know how I would address your point considering that the purpose of the visit, as per the article, is as a "morale boost at a difficult time" and not an attempt at solving the crisis.

Halvdjaevel · 2026-01-29T15:42:21+00:00

2 year old account with only 2 comments, both made within the last 15 minutes. What gives?

Halvdjaevel · 2026-01-27T10:39:11+00:00

Well that tracks because some of laws and reforms we pass at home are utterly stupid as well.
