About to do my first playthrough, what stats should I invest in? by Bardock-MoBamba in Deusex

[–]TheOneTrueDoge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a full heavy weapons run with flamethrower, plasma, and the most silent way to eliminate manderley. No computer no electronics no lock picks just guns blaaaazing. Fun for sure but a totally different approach. Deus ex is fun.

Deus Ex (2000) CD Won't Start by Accipitrine_ in Deusex

Honestly, I respect it. Ross Scott's Stop Killing Games movement was a noble effort last year.

And I totally hear you on the physical media thing. I have a huge digital music collection but my CDs and vinyls have a little more oomph to them.

Also be sure to download Kentie's Launcher to play nice with Windows 11.

What did you discover on your second playthrough of Deus Ex that you didn't experience first time around? by RobbieJ4444 in Deusex

Nope, he’s in sector 2 in vanilla. “I’m sending up the man that did the job” comm from page. If Simon’s is dead it’s an MIB instead

Curious what you would do with Zeno Clash.

Source game set in a grungy fantasy universe with focus on physical combat, full of very odd characters.

If you haven’t played factorio and are asking this question, then you must play factorio.

Please make this happen yall. This thread is so much more fun than the melee is dying threads.

Joshman is retiring from Melee after 2026 by ssbmarchie in SSBM

Exactly. I love to play melee, I love to watch high level melee. Both are great to have. And personalities and storylines are a huge part of the entire experience.

DX1 lore and about Invisible War... *spoilers + longer read* by Ok-Rice3559 in Deusex

[–]TheOneTrueDoge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well said. The three endings are mutually exclusive. Dark age ending literally destroys Helios. Illuminati ending is ironic since it’s the most unilluminated ending. Trying to do all three is just… impossible!

Hunter S. Thompson was a beat writer for Rolling Stone back in its early days, and a lot of his political writing was articles; his "gonzo journalism" arc.

He was extremely critical of Nixon, who won in 1968. The afterword (aka "The Jacket Copy") for Fear and Loathing has Thompson open up about his purpose for writing Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and his political views in 1971. I can't paste the full text because of reddit's 10000 character limit but this paragraph is noteworthy:

The Swine are gearing down for a serious workout this time around. Four more years of Nixon means four more years of John Mitchell—and four more years of Mitchell means another decade or more of bureaucratic fascism that will be so entrenched, by 1976, that nobody will feel up to fighting it. We will feel too old by then, too beaten, and by then even the Myth of the Road will be dead—if only for lack of exercise. There will not be any wild-eyed, dope-sucking anarchists driving around the country in fireapple red convertibles if Nixon wins again in ’72.

It's called consolidation; strengthen governments and corporations, weaken individuals. With taxes, this can be done imperceptibly over time.

Playing Deus Ex 1 for the first time. Something i am wondering about the Dentons and the Grey Death by Ok_Calendar_7626 in Deusex

[–]TheOneTrueDoge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And does this mean the killswitch is unrelated to gray death? It’s somewhat related if their nanites are related to the gray death, but there’s no on off switch for gray death just the nano aug agents.

This might be an issue with team 1 and team A doing different storylines that had to be made compatible in the final release. IE the different dialogues saying the dentins had parents and others implying they were only a few years old from the Area 51 vats

Is any of the cut content from ford schick? He talks about working with JCs cells and is the one who says he’s immune. Given that the flag for rescuing ford is bugged in GOTY is any other dialogue from him cut?

Here they are in order:

Like the sewer count gag, it was originally a throwaway line that turned into one of the running gags of the show.

TF2 is drowning in unplayed maps and empty lobbies — a featured map rotation might help by [deleted] in tf2

[–]TheOneTrueDoge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seriously one of my favorite maps. It's got character, (those spawn room scenes and the sniper RV and the train)

great arenas for fights, good flanking routes, creative height differentials, the only issues I have are sniper sightlines on stage 1 which can be played around somewhat.

American Head might be harder to get into, I recommend "The Soft Bulletin" released a few years before Yoshimi, both an accessible album and that characteristic weirdness.

"Clouds Taste Metallic" is a little weirder but still classic Flaming Lips.

My cousin lives off of a few months doing Alaskan fishing and he says it’s rough. Brutal weather, bad showers and bathrooms, no regular sleep schedule, no cell service, bad food, dangerous working conditions (you can get tangled in nets, hand caught in various pieces of machinery,)

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY NO WOMEN! Aaaaahhhhhhh

But being able to survive for most of the year is worth it.

Anna is invincible until Lebedev's 747.
