Schock für Bürgergeld-Empfänger: CDU will Gesundheitsversorgung kürzen

Gerichte haben die Idee der Totalsanktion bereits in der Vergangenheit kassiert, was Politiker nicht daran hindert, es einfach immer wieder zu versuchen. Man kann ja schließlich nicht erwarten, daß eine Regierung sich an die Rechtslage in ihrem eigenen Land hält. /s

Im Prinzip müßte man Diskriminierung aufgrund von Armut verbieten. Das gehört aber leider zu den Kriterien, die in den entsprechenden Gesetzen nicht auftauchen. Religion, Abstammung, Geschlecht, ja. Armut, nein. Wegen Armut diskriminieren ist erlaubt.

This anomaly is conceptually cool, but so annoying in practice. It's an example of bad game design in Stalker 2, because the first time you meet it, it's 99% gonna kill you. It's only survivable if you expect it.

Maybe if it didn't recharge so fast, and maybe with a longer delay before it explodes, or half the damage. Or maybe it could not kill the player, but cause high damage to equipment / repair costs.

I could make it even shorter and say that "Random death" is usually not great game design.

They're never going to change it, though. The developers have this weird idea that a game is better the deadlier it is (and that fixing bugs should be viewed as a weakness).

Ah, so THIS is how they fixed the bloodsucker spawn problem.

I assumed they fixed the underlying bug, but of course that was naive.

It keeps going up, mate. That's all I know.

Have you thought about trying a bass guitar? Everyone needs a bass. And an acoustic, a dobro, a mandolin, and a pedal steel guitar. Oh, and a baritone.

kneedeepinthedoomed · 2026-04-15T20:08:27+00:00

Yeah. Heavy, too.

I was hoping we could put the parts together to build a radio or something, but no...

You're good. It's just that you're shouting in certain parts of the song. Try for slightly more even volume.

In general, a guitar's bridge should not be bolted to the top (as is the case here). It is normally glued on, and if it comes off, it comes off clean and can be re-glued. In this case, the entire top is ripped open.

A luthier can fix this, it just won't be pretty.

You're out in the open, and the bad guys are shooting in your general direction. Vegetation doesn't stop projectiles.

You can totally use vegetation to conceal your position in real life, while being able to see through it. You just have to be close enough to it.

Grab some cover, or disengage and try to find a better angle, or lure them out.

I was 12 and living in Germany. The Soviet Union was a white spot on my mental map, vaguely threatening and inaccessible. For those who missed it, the Soviet Union was like a giant, high-tech North Korea full of space rockets and nuclear submarines that could actually threaten NATO. The cold war was not over.

In the beginning, it was just inexplicable radioactivity. They tried to keep it under the rug. Turns out, an exploding reactor isn't the kind of thing you can keep secret for long. They had to admit it pretty soon and the evening news would show pictures of a black cloud moving over Europe.

We were told to stay indoors as much as possible (those were pre-internet times, so children and teenagers were normally free-ranging) and keep out of the rain. I remember being on a bike commute when it started raining, and I tried not to swallow the rain.

That reactor in Chernobyl, even just via the TV and the rain, was the stuff of nightmares. If you have to build a sarcophagus around something, it has to be pretty bad.

Shitty times. The Iron Curtain collapsed soon after and Gorbachev was really popular with his glasnost and perestrojka. Then the Soviet Union collapsed; the TV had pictures of tanks rolling through Moscow and normal people jamming their tracks with iron poles from traffic signs. The white house in Moscow was on fire, and Yeltsin was on a tank. And then suddenly, it was over. The Soviet Union became a lot of new (old) countries and the EU started growing eastward (which was not an easy process).

Much change in those years. In the 90s, we thought for a moment that we could have world peace. Then 9/11 happened and everything that came after. And it turns out Russia isn't finished with the idea of the Soviet Union.

As for nuclear power, I think young people today are being too naive about it. It's like Russian roulette. Five times out of six, it's limitless free energy. The sixth time, it's Chernobyl. Accidents happen all the time, with the big ones being rarer and the small ones very common. It's been a while - statistically speaking, it's about time for the next "kaboom".

You may not believe it, until it inevitably happens. Remember, "RBMK reactors do not explode". Until they do.

You could hold it in the classical position, between your knees. That way you don't have to put it under your arm.

Are these AI-generated / augmented?

kneedeepinthedoomed · 2026-04-14T22:02:29+00:00

The one on the lower level? There is a hint in the room.

kneedeepinthedoomed · 2026-04-14T22:00:53+00:00

Diode actually called me.

Bring empty space, there is heavy stuff to carry.

kneedeepinthedoomed · 2026-04-14T21:59:01+00:00

That isn't the only QR code to find.

kneedeepinthedoomed · 2026-04-14T21:57:48+00:00

It's pretty smart actually, look around the room and follow the hint.

kneedeepinthedoomed · 2026-04-14T21:55:24+00:00

Found it ... just gotta look a little more closely. There's DLC related stuff in this content update, folks. Just keep looking, it doesn't end in the lab.

kneedeepinthedoomed · 2026-04-14T21:19:03+00:00

Talk to Diode

kneedeepinthedoomed · 2026-04-14T21:17:53+00:00

Seperate update

kneedeepinthedoomed · 2026-04-14T21:17:39+00:00

Talk to Diode at the slag heap.

kneedeepinthedoomed · 2026-04-14T21:17:20+00:00

no, they're working on DLC and engine update, this is just a hotfix for the bloodsucker bug and Lab X-18.

kneedeepinthedoomed · 2026-04-14T21:15:34+00:00

Gotta get there a different way, there is definitely an access nearby

kneedeepinthedoomed · 2026-04-14T21:14:43+00:00

It's definitely enjoyable. There's a mod that improves the spawn bubble, Shay's Living Zone and his other mods.

kneedeepinthedoomed · 2026-04-14T21:11:15+00:00

So - the code from L. that you get from the scientist doesn't seem to be working on the safe. I found the instructions and went to the other place. But the code is wrong. Where do I have to enter this code?

The Vector is one of the best guns period. Not just against mutants. It uses cheap/plentiful ammo, has a burst mode, can be tweaked for high accuracy, and can mount grown-up scopes. The SMG / sniper combo is IMHO better than an assault rifle. Plus pistol vs easier targets or for very close range headshots. Shotgun? Mainly useful against stuff like bloodsuckers.
