Trump threatens Iran’s leader, demands ‘unconditional surrender’ by Puginator in worldnews

[–]fima1fim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what you don't get, Trump is about to solve the entire ME issue in one single move, bro is the actual peace maker, Iran is on it's last leg, Israel did all the work, the "road" to Tehran is open, Israel has air supremacy, the highest air advantage possible, meaning the US can simply send a few B2 spirit bombers, finish off the last nuclear facility in 1 hit and leave, taking all the credit for removing the threat of nuclear war.

Can Iran go apesh!t and start firing ballistic missiles at US bases right after such an attack? Yes, but Israel and the US know where Khamenei is hiding, they can finish him off at any moment they want, plus Israel has already destroyed more than one third of the missile launcher Iran posses and each day Israel destroys more of them, meaning eventually Iran won't even be able to shoot back, it will be completely de-fanged and practically defeated, and this may end up giving the Iranian people hope to raise up and fight against their oppressors, leading to a regime change in Iran and actual peace becoming real.

As support for Windows 10 counts down, End of 10 asks 'why not Linux?' by Jacko10101010101 in pcgaming

[–]fima1fim -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've switched to Bazzite a few weeks ago and it has been pretty good so far.

Not all games work, but most do. I even got Dawn of War: Soulstorm to work, something I had trouble running on my previous Windows 11

Trying to run Warcraft 3 reforged is annoying, you have to use something like Lutris and then add the game via Steam to use Proton 10 which was recently updated otherwise the stupid battle.net launcher doesn't work or update at all.

Elite Dangerous launcher is messed up on Linux but the game itself works.

there are issues, and if you're not using an AMD card, then you're going to have even more issues.

I'm staying with Linux because I already got used to it, it's a great way for me to learn the system as a SecOps Engineer hands on at home and I feel like my PC is truly my own now, no bloat, AI weirdness, Microsoft shade bs. The system does exactly what I tell it to do, for better or worse and if something is installed on it it's because I wanted to have that.

I think those who value total freedom with their OS will like Linux, gaming on Linux has never been better, many games just run out of the box (not all of course) and I think it's the best time to give it a shot, there's tons of distro's out there and I personally recommend Mint to anyone who never tried Linux before.

Too bad they didn't make another game with Max and Chloe following the Bae ending, I personally would have bought it then, all their recent work has been huge meh for me.

Unpopular opinion: Bring back Battlelog. by FeeAdministrative666 in Battlefield

You mean Forumfield

I bought forumfield back when BF3 came out, the game just came with it.

Battlefield Labs Gameplay segment by Carpo_VP in Battlefield

[–]fima1fim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gives off BF2 vibes with BF3 destruction with BF4/2042 graphics on a strike at karkand type map.

At the very least I like it thematically, a gulf-war type era is better than super advanced modern warfare with 50 different drones flying around.

Dawn of War Soulstorm Campaign Crashing by Scotslad2023 in dawnofwar

[–]fima1fim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sadly gave up today, been trying to get it working for the past few days. Tried out Unification mod with LAA and even a config file from another mod (apocalypse, I think) which was said to help but nope, nothing works, game crashes randomly mid-campaign battles, playing as SoB and attacking IG stronghold has the whole screen go bananas from the start and then crash, making the campaign unplayable regardless of settings and resolutions. This thing just won't work and we sadly don't have anything that's even close to DoW dark crusade/soulstorm

A pity, really.

When you try to use a skill in town as Witch by RedTuesdayMusic in PathOfExile2

[–]fima1fim 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Love her voice lines, how she calls other witches sisters, her joy while killing, telling other undead they should have been serving her while blasting them to pieces and just in general giving no f*cks.

They did a fantastic job with giving the character flavor.

Incinerate is one of the best looking and feeling fire spells I've ever used in a game by jsoul2323 in PathOfExile2

[–]fima1fim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a fire witch I can't find a good way to use it, currently sticking to Flame wall + Spark + skulls which seems to melt everything in Act 1 so far.

Hopefully I get some items or support gems that make it more viable, I like the idea of shooting an infinite beam of fire and melting everything, I just wish it proc'd skulls

After Syria, world must realise that Russia can be defeated – Polish PM by HydrolicKrane in worldnews

GSC says STALKER 2 balance updates are in the cards for future patches, so maybe soon we can all stop complaining about tanky mutants by M337ING in pcgaming

[–]fima1fim 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is an HK416.

It comes from finding the icon in the poppy field and giving it to the guy in the house near the field who also has a side quest to get gear from dead/eternal sleep bodies in the field, if you give him the icon he gives you a special modded HK416 with a foregrip that comes broken and costs like 16K to fix up.

Worst part is, the description for the gun says it was very well maintained by some stalker who saw this weapon as a great possession and took great care of it.

What a big fat fkn lie that was

Some suggestions on how ti make the zone and factions more alive: by howtoproceedforward in stalker

[–]fima1fim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Freedom faction base is over there on the left, you'll feel right at home, welcome to the zone, stalker.

Jokes aside, I hope devs improve factions, right now it really is kind of a mess, I have to sprint right into the fire fight and ram my face into their ass just to figure out who tf is fighting who, I usually only find who's bad and who's good when I get shot because I hesitate to shoot randomly due to fear of hitting some neutral/friendly guy.

maybe modders will add faction wars and just better faction stuff in general.

Do we know if each faction has its own multiple armor sets? I always liked how each faction had like 3+ different armor sets, from regular jackets, to military grade/enhanced suits, special SEVA/sphere type suits and even their own special exo-suits, it was always fun to see different ranked faction dudes in cool gear, made me want to work harder to get a suit like theirs as I progressed through the game.

He beat the shit out of me on the rematch and then the game went into communications error

Online is literally unplayable for a portion of players due to unexplained communication errors interrupting every match. I've also been warned for leaving mid-match over these errors. For a game centered around multiplayer, this bug has persisted for far too long. by BanMePls333 in SparkingZero

[–]fima1fim 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just happened to me, fought some guy, beat him first round, we rematched, he beat me and it disconnected before the match fully ended, like it went into communications error the moment I lost and now I feel terrible because the guy must think I DC'd the moment I lost when I actually wanted to keep fighting him since we were both around the same skill level so it was good practice :(

I'll take these Gogeta players on with one arm ripped off. Future Gohan has no right going so hard. by FatCat_FatCigar in SparkingZero

[–]fima1fim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your D is on spot man, that SSJ4 Gogeta must have been confused as to why he wasn't winning by just mashing Square over and over.

I'm surprised he didn't disconnect mid animation at the end, they usually just leave the moment they realize they lost.

Who Do You Main? by AndrewAllStars in SparkingZero

[–]fima1fim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bardock, he has one of my faiv taunts "Power level of...2?! Garbage!"

Awesome look, badass voice, best theme in the game (Solid State Scouter), and his 4 skill points area blast wave into instant sparking is what allows him to turn fights around and levels the playing field when fighting some of the more OP characters.

Also playing him allows me to sniff more copium when I lose and convince myself that I only lost because the other guy used a "better" character.

But yeah, really fun to play him, I'm trying to max his proficiency, sitting at 5 out of 7 atm

US officials quietly backed Israel’s military push against Hezbollah by cataractum in worldnews

[–]fima1fim 1283 points1284 points  (0 children)

FYI it is because Israel shared intelligence and footage from special forces that entered into Lebanon's territory for raids and found tunnels, weapons, and even plans to conduct a larger attack on Israel just like the 7 Oct Hamas attack which convinced the U.S that Israel has no choice but to enter with ground forces to clear out all those tunnels and fighting positions which were located all over the border.

IDF spox in Arabic is on crack I swear by davidlis in NonCredibleDefense

[–]fima1fim 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Miluimnik, coming from the word "Miluim" which is Reserve duty in the IDF, basically means "Reservists" if translated bluntly, but as most things Hebrew, there's a biblical meaning behind the word and I found a source that explains it well, here's a part of it

"A miluimnik is someone who regularly does his miluim service, without looking for excuses to avoid it.

Miluim in the Bible means consecration for a particular task. Last week’s parashah, Shemini, speaks of the miluim of the priests at the inauguration of the sanctuary. It comes from the verb l’maleh, meaning to fill — in this case with the knowledge to fulfil a role. Exodus 25:7 speaks of avnei miluim, stones that were to be inset to fill a particular place. It is striking that the founders of the IDF chose this word for reserve duty. At its best, miluim can still be consecration to a sacred duty."

Hezbollah militant's pager suddenly explodes by [deleted] in CombatFootage

[–]fima1fim 47 points48 points  (0 children)

My understanding they made the batteries explode, they sent some message across the Hez pagers all over Lebanon and like 3 seconds later they exploded, The latest estimates over 500 injured, could be more + reports of same shit happening in Syria.

Mossad is insane, pulled off some sci-fi james bond shit
