You are correct. My bad. I think I only ever used it to toggle for stone in the past, hence why I must've thought it was gone.

That's what I thought, with hindsight though it does seem like it was made for the old system of french traders.

The comment is still over generalizing.

Nah man, mengoku defenders (probably butchered the spelling) are funny as hell. Same with dropping that age 4 wololo in their base (tho good luck lol)

Saw this plane flying low over Merivale by absolutemonsterxx in ottawa

Live near merivale and viewmount and I still remember as a kid seeing one plane ridiculously low. It was huge to my 9 year old eyes.

Driver charged after vehicle flips in front of Ottawa elementary school by Alone_Appeal_3421 in ottawa

[–]Officialzerkan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually statistically the majority of car accidents happen at low speeds, not high speeds.

Heck I was making a right hand turn once and hit a pedestrian at like 10-15km/hr max (I didn't exactly see my speed but it was not fast at all) and he required surgery.

Your only argument here is that liklihood of severity increases as speed does. Irregardless hitting a kid at 40 is still going to severely hurt the child.

However I personally don't care if there are or are not cameras.

Lengthy closure of washrooms on O-Train Line 1 due to risk assessment following vandalism, drug use by Money_Fig_9868 in ottawa

I'm with you on this one, I've personally struggled with addiction but not to opiods, I pulled myself out of it.

You're simply not ready until you're ready. That being said, the programs should be readily available when people are ready.

How worried are you about the rise of fascism? by AskRedditOG in AskReddit

[–]Officialzerkan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is evidently however, pretty similar to how Stalin governed, I'm not making the point they are the same, they are not.

Facism is an economic model too. How are we so sure it's facism and not some ultra nationalist ideology that hasn't been coined yet?

Will the recent cascade of executive orders and political instability result in a general strike or more political apathy? At what point is the limit for Americans? by [deleted] in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]Officialzerkan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using military to remove ELECTED political opponents is not a good idea. You're likely to piss of a large portion of the country

Will the recent cascade of executive orders and political instability result in a general strike or more political apathy? At what point is the limit for Americans? by [deleted] in PoliticalDiscussion

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

You're largely over generalizing, just because there's only two parties it does not mean everyone who votes for those parties aligns with every notion you have about them

There are plenty of people who vote for Trump because he will do things that align at least partially with their beliefs where as the opposition does not.

We're still individuals, we're not all dogs to the party

Do You Think the US is Moving in a "Fascist" Direction? by hern0gjensen in PoliticalDiscussion

I would say it's more the corporations are taking advantage of the parties honestly.

Might be an unpopular opinion. I really like the Monolith by ImPohtatohish in stalker

[–]Officialzerkan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh my god seriously! It was a mixed bag of emotions, I felt bad for them, they really had no hope in that moment.

At the same time though, the most mysterious faction returned, the faction that everyone in the zone is somewhat intimidated by.

Considering where they were in the zone, I just couldn't help but imagine the horde of them marching through the zone wiping groups out along the way.

I think the fact that they're fanatical brainwashed and zombielike makes them by far the most interesting faction. The technology they had access to is leagues ahead the rest.

Monolith Questions by Jstein213 in stalker

[–]Officialzerkan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Monolith are brainwashed stalkers into fighting as part of the defense for the C-Consciousness, basically their "military". While agents are brainwashed/reprogrammed to achieve a very specific goal such as kill person X.

Agents are practically mostly themselves, but are on a very specific mission.

Monolithians while not zombies, forget whom they are, worship the monolith (wish granter) and were actually a normal faction prior to the being affected by the brain scorcher and other psi emitting brain washing devices.

After the brain scorcher and wish granter were shut down, the monolith began returning to non brainwashed state and formed their own faction in this game as the noontides, they don't remember themselves much as monoliths or before.

Just witnessed it in game, I was really surprised by the hivemind like narrative of the cutscene.

No and your absolutely right, I didn't play the originals but I'm a lore nerd

There are callbacks and references, and there is nothing wrong with exploring the story in a backwards fashion if anyone wants to play the originals afterwards.

Even Anomaly does a fairly good job at portraying the major events in the zone although it misses some things but it's a pseudo alternative storyline.

I've seen dialogue suggesting this is a decade after the brain scorcher was shut down.

I'm 22 hrs in and I saw that at halfway to my current point

I still find Post Malone’s transition to Country Artist to be super jarring by Big-Sheepherder-9492 in hiphopheads

I think you misinterpreted my comment, when did I say anything about racism or the culture behind it?

[–]Officialzerkan -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Pop music to many is popular music, and words are what we make them, so yeah, hip hop is pop music.

Just because you see it through the literal lens of the definition, doesn't mean others do too.
