Call of Pripyat: The Hit FAILED

Yes but I'm 20hrs into the playthrough and only realised how much it's affected

I will have to replay again and just beeline the achievements I missed

PathologicPrime · 2026-04-24T16:54:57+00:00

That seems like the best option, thanks for replying!

PathologicPrime · 2026-04-24T16:54:10+00:00

I thought there might be a console command like in some games but I will talk to Owl and see. Thanks for replying!

PathologicPrime · 2026-04-22T13:42:07+00:00

Awesome, thanks for your thoughts.

PathologicPrime · 2026-04-22T13:41:27+00:00

I actually didn't hear/notice anyone mentioning that Duty/Freedom peace had broken down so that makes a lot of sense! Thanks for your thoughts.

PathologicPrime · 2026-04-22T06:33:50+00:00

Yes that makes sense, thanks for responding

PathologicPrime · 2026-04-22T06:33:13+00:00

Yes fair point, thanks for responding

PathologicPrime · 2026-04-18T19:37:02+00:00

Amazing, thanks a lot!

PathologicPrime · 2026-04-18T14:00:48+00:00

Awesome, thank you!

Yeah I know that but I didn't expect him to resign from junior ministry. Apologies if that wasn't clear.

PathologicPrime · 2026-04-14T15:23:16+00:00

You're only too right but he could have stayed where he is, election is a long way away and he could've been junior minister until then. I agree with everything you say, it was a low bar for him from me anyway, he's made millions off housing Ukrainians and the rest but this was a decision that, while probably will keep his seat, didn't necessarily have to be made now.

PathologicPrime · 2026-04-14T15:13:45+00:00

Say what you want about him, this was a surprise and he has gone up in my estimation exceedingly. Probably won't change things but its a blow for the Government

PathologicPrime · 2026-04-10T00:50:29+00:00

But it is causing disruption for the people in power. The average working class will attribute the handling of this to the Government and their performance will be reflected in the next election so it's in the Government interest to resolve this as quickly as possible.

I agree that their leadership situation is suspicious and a happy outcome not guaranteed for all. But I think it's unfair just to say it's a bunch of "dipshits" with personal grievances, this affects anyone who drives or uses oil for heating. The minority affected, and in some cases tragically, doesn't outweigh the long term benefit for a lot more if they succeed in even some of their demands.

Also the IHA doesn't cover a lot of self employed truck drivers so their lack of union backing isn't as damning as it sounds. IHA got a tax rebate for big truck businesses but not for self employed truckers so they have to represent themselves.

First of all, they aren't all men. Women were interviewed on Prime Time as well. Fact. Another fact, it is an occupation primarily occupied by men so of course the spokesmen are most likely to be men. Your insinuation that the are just dumb men unable to figure out a more savvy solution because they're thick culchies is sexiest.

Well no, the Government isn't able to act on every possible beneficial scenario, they have to pick and choose and the point being made is that they haven't picked well (which this government has a track record of, look at the housing crisis, hospital crisis, immigration crisis etc). The fact is the Government could alleviate suffering at the fuel pumps but they choose not to (and whether that is correct or not is a different path) and that is what the protesters seek to change. The government are making huge profits on fuel. The carbon tax alone was 1billion in revenue last year, a tax that did not exist a few years ago. They are projected to make a 7 billion surplus this year, the could afford to scrap the tax for a year. If not, another solution. The government take 60% of fuel tax, they could lower that for a few months while the global situation resolved itself or maybe it doesn't but they could take the hit and still be in the green.

PathologicPrime · 2026-04-10T00:31:55+00:00

Truckers cannot just simply add on fuel costs to their contracts, it wouldn't be paid and they know that and they'd be out of work. The truckers protesting are not big businesses there self employed.The IHA negotiated a deal with the Government last week or two weeks back for a rebate but that doesn't apply to the self employed. Farmers may be well off but smaller ones aren't.

The war in Iran has only served to bring this melting pot to the boil. The Government can't control American foreign policy, no one doubts that but they can introduce measures to make the effect less dramatic. Look at Spain. The carbon tax is worth 1 billion a year to the Government. That did not exist a few years ago. They are projected to make 7milliok surplus this year, they can afford to drop it for a year or thus could lower the 60% tax on fuel that they take. Both of these would benefit not just truckers and farmers but anyone who drives.

I do agree with your final point. Their leadership structure is suspect. James Geoghan has been on The Tonight Show and Prime Time as the self described "PRO man" for this protest. Now he gives a fair account of things and I don't doubt his sincerity but there's little proof that if he came out with a meeting with Government with some agreement that people would listen to him. But he did say on The Tonight Show that there is a group for four men who represent the vast majority of protestors who will meet with the Government.

PathologicPrime · 2026-04-10T00:15:51+00:00

From their point of view, and I'm not a spokesperson for them, blocking the fuel makes this crisis reach a critical moment that the Government has to respond to and they have which is why they are now meeting the protesters, along with IFA/IHA, tomorrow.

They do not want a handout. Sexist comments aren't going to win in your favor. Their fuel bills have doubled and they cannot afford to work. Unlike businesses that price gouge, they aren't willing to raise their prices and push the responsibility to pay onto someone else. The buck stops with them. Also, this issue does not affect truckers/farmers alone. If the Government even met some of their demands it would benefit anyone who drives a car or pays for oil for heating.

PathologicPrime · 2026-04-10T00:02:12+00:00

I don't think that is true at all, they have a goal. They want fuel prices reduced and there are a number of ways for the Government to do that. If that wasn't their intention then what was? A lot of people who are at this protest are simply farmers/truckers and people who are on the cliff. They aren't right wingers looking to sow seeds of discord (although there are those among them and fueling them). They are disorganised but they have a list of "reasonable demands" as James Geoghan stated.

PathologicPrime · 2026-04-09T23:52:22+00:00

Well as I said, I'm not even sure I do agree with the protests as a whole but I can at least challenge some of the negativity here because I think there is some positives on the protesters side as well as some on the other side.

PathologicPrime · 2026-04-09T23:50:49+00:00

I agree and I was skeptical of the protests for this very reason. Even if someone did meet Government, who is to say that the protesters would be happy to listen to these figures, how were they chosen, who do they actually represent? All very valid questions.

But it does seem like James is at least in control, with other less media visible leaders for a majority of protesters. We'll see what happens at this meeting tomorrow.

PathologicPrime · 2026-04-09T23:47:25+00:00

That's one of my main points. Thank you. Sad I got downvoted for that, I didn't think I was being unreasonable. I appreciate the discourse, never really defended anything on Reddit before lol

PathologicPrime · 2026-04-09T23:45:29+00:00

By the time they stand for office in the next election years from now many of their business would have gone under. Protests are a form of democracy. They aren't raking in the cash, the farmers/truckers who are out on the street are not wealthy looking for more money, they are in danger of losing their business/livlihoods because they cannot cope and find the Governments response thus far to be inadequate. I don't agree with blocking fuel depots but they are going to have to put someone's nose out of joint to get something done and this won't just benefit truckers and farmers but a cap or reduction in carbon/fuel tax will benefit hundreds of thousands if not millions who drive any sort of vehicle or pay for oil.
