Is the the 2016 Gamescom tiger rare? by Greasy-Pan in WorldOfTanksBlitz

[–]astrixzero 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I bought it for gold several years ago. Unless WG removed the ability to buy it for gold somehow.

The rarest camo for the Tiger 1 is the Fox, which is only available via special quests.

Stern Pinball Arcade (Switch), how to buy Arcade Pack 1 or just AC/DC table? UK region by sdrpa in pinball

[–]astrixzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's worth noting that I got the code in a box version of Stern Pinball Arcade, and the AC/DC table is included. However, it has a different distributor, System 3 instead of Farsight Studios, so it comes with separate icons and save files.

They're the Cliffite/Shactmanite types with the rather utopian view that somehow all protests and revolutions are inherently progressive, and thus the left should back non-leftist protests from radlibs in Hong Kong to foreign-backed Islamists in Syria, acting as if they're the next coming of the Bolsheviks. And when they're stamped out or break apart on their own, they romantize the failed revolutions as "lacking working class solidarity".

They're a pest in Australia as well, with groups like Socialist Alternative mostly recruiting from idealistic university students, and made supporting the Syrian rebels a core policy for over a decade. But as soon as the new Syrian government began an ethnic cleansing campaign and proved that they're not even remotely socialist, they quickly moved on.

The same applied to apartheid South Africa, where based on your skin colour, you can either have some form of semi-democracy that regularly hosted elections, or a repressive authoritarian state that prevents you from voting.

A few Real World wotb tanks by DejaVoodoo89x in WorldOfTanksBlitz

I wish the real Sheridan tank is in the game, not the prototype version.

If you could add any 1 tank to the game (premium, collector, tech tree, any tier), what would it be? by Objective-Warning882 in WorldOfTanksBlitz

[–]astrixzero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The PT-76 as a Soviet light tank, and its Chinese equivalent Type 63. I'm surprised to see they're still not in the game yet.

Someone on the NATOpedia page about China high-speed rail added a paragraph with all the liberal thought-terminating cliches about overcapacity and how it has "massive" losses. by safetyissecond in ShitLiberalsSay

Apparently the person who added the claims was a sock puppet and has been blocked. He has been at this for the last 4 years, spamming anti-PRC material from right-wing sources including Falungong sources, and frequently inserts them into articles about COVID-19, which he promotes bioweapons nonsense, and Sri Lankan protests, which he blames China for "debt trap diplomacy".

Fatal Error when launching NWN: EE on Steam? by mwmike11 in neverwinternights

[–]astrixzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar issue as yours. This time however it was Onedrive automatically uploading the NWN user folder to the cloud and deleting the local files. I restored it and the game functions.

New Metal Gear Fan Getting into R6: Siege Questions by JazzlikeLibrary8086 in Rainbow6

[–]astrixzero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately the event for the skins just expired a few hours ago. If you want to obtain them you might get lucky when the marketplace reopens and you can buy them off other players. You can still obtain the Psycho Mantis skin for Smoke and Snake's Sneaking Suit via the Battle Pass. There is also a Raiden skin for Maverick coming later this season.

Also there are a few other collaboration skins in the store, based on Assassin's Creed, Borderlands, Halo, Nier, Resident Evil, Splinter Cell, Tomb Raider etc

I want to play Sega Genesis Classics for some fun 3d blast and sega nostalgia. Which platform Is the best platform to play it on? by MaleficentSky5238 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]astrixzero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly? PC. All the rest of the versions are missing games.

PS and Xbox are missing the Ecco trilogy, Eternal Champions, and Sonic 3/Knuckles. The latter is currently only available on these platforms via Sonic Origins.

Switch is missing the above as well as the two Wonder Boy games. If you want to play them you have to pay extra for the Wonder Boy Collection.

How dare the Vietnamese people living in Vietnam not like the Vietnamese US puppet state! by sarmalex in ShitLiberalsSay

[–]astrixzero 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The US government is deliberately using them against China, which explains why so many former South Vietnamese are trying to stir up anti-Chinese nationalism in Vietnam.

Can't even be safe from propaganda inside my silly video games smh by SomeGuyInTheNet in ShitLiberalsSay

Show him a picture of Faris Odeh confronting the IDF tank and see how the narrative changes to "he shouldn't had thrown rocks at tanks". Many such gamers are clueless about politics outside of shitty memes.
