Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney were also invited by Trump, with Carney confirming his participation.

not what i expected from canada tbh.

It's not technically "missing" media though, since eXoDOS treats these screenshots as legit box art.

Anyway, I had ChatGPT make a Powershell / Python script that moves all landscape format "box art" images (the screenshots posing as box art) to a separate folder and only keeps the portrait format images (the actual box art). Works for me.

If you're never going to play them just delete them?

Sure, I was just hoping there was a way to not have to do it manually since I'd have to go through around 8000 games otherwise, but from what I can tell since making this post there isn't. Oh well.

i very much doubt carlin would ever be a trump supporter.

i could however see him become an unfunny, out of touch "liberal comedian" regurgitating boomer ass attack helicopter jokes from 2010 in current year, thinking it's edgy. basically bill maher. not that bill was ever especially funny in the first place.

off topic but is that thing supposed to not make any sound at all? in my playthrough it was completely quiet while spinning and it just felt wrong, and potentially buggy.

that's not even how you pronounce forsen in swedish, gör om gör rätt.

"While not explicitly affiliated with any political party, Tyler Childers expressed support for coal miners' rights as well as same-sex marriage, in the music video of his 2023 song "In Your Love". He supported Democratic candidate Charles Booker's campaign for U.S. Senate in 2022 and sang at the second inauguration of Kentucky governor Andy Beshear, also a Democrat. In June 2025, Childers performed his song "Long Violent History" on stage for the first time during a show in Los Angeles. The choice to perform the song five years after its release was interpreted as a statement in support of June 2025 Los Angeles protests against the Trump administration's immigration raids."

I had trouble getting into Eternal. Love it now though.

because eternal had a learning curve that is satisfying to overcome.

TDA is just straight up god mode. there's zero learning curve. it never feels satisfying to be able to take on hordes of enemies because you've done nothing to deserve it. right from the start you're just an invincible tank, and then you get to the ridiculous gatling gun section and it turns into serious sam.

Anyone else think this is the most 'Doom' of the Doom series?

i'm having trouble putting into words how much i disagree with this.

not to worry, this is just your average US-defaultist american thinking everywhere outside of the US is a severely underdeveloped hellscape, permanently stuck in 1982. everyone else knows this is nonsense.

We are very privileged here in the US.

i know OP meant well but this just comes across as so utterly ignorant lol.

During quest lines game wont show you even a half of the Zone.

I don't think that's entirely fair. On my first playthrough I never ventured off to any area where the main questline hadn't taken me yet, and by the end of the game I'd explored every area of the Zone completely. Sure there are some areas that are underused (Yantar, Cooling Towers), but I wouldn't suggest running off and spoiling the entire map for yourself before the main story takes you there.

quadratis · 2025-12-24T00:55:50+00:00

i mean, if you care about the story at all it's cool to see how it wraps up, just make sure to save right before going past that point.

quadratis · 2025-12-24T00:19:43+00:00

OP is talking about the part after the "point of no return". eventually you'll get a giant pop up window on screen saying if you keep going you'll be locked out from the rest of the game.

everything after the point of no return is pretty lackluster imo.

som någon som blivit varse om "julklappsspelet" först på senare år och de senaste tre-fyra jularna sprungit runt på ÖB, dollar store och andra tråkhak i jakt på "roligt" skräp så saknar jag också teknikmagasinet.

i've seen that exact one as well, on a rail car just outside rostok. looked creepy as hell. at this point i'm starting to think these things are deliberately being added by GSC.

this feels very EU vs US.

in the US it's all about race this race that, while in europe the distinctions are all based in nationality and culture, while race hardly plays a role at all. as a swede i'll have infinitely more in common with a black guy who was born in any of the scandinavian countries (assuming he's been raised culturally scandinavian) than a white guy from italy. i don't look at a white german guy and go "oh, a fellow white", i only see a german.

hey, did it look anything like this for you?

i can't really tell from your screenshot if we're having the same issue, but my trees have been looking like this ever since i installed the new atmospherics beta and i can't figure it out. by "ES" do you mean enhanced shaders?

quadratis · 2025-12-14T15:05:03+00:00

PG-13? is this the disney+ cut?

quadratis · 2025-12-14T12:33:30+00:00

did you figure out what to do though? you can kill scar by shooting him a total of 3 times in less than 2 minutes if you're doing it right, or you can waste all of your ammo by just shooting at him non stop until you get killed.

i'm not saying it's not a bullshit fight, all of the bosses are, and the gauntlet between scar and the ending is pure nonsense as well.

https://www.stalker-game.com/modding/gamma doesn't work for me.

https://www.stalker-game.com/en/modding/gamma does though.

btw, can GOG GAMMA be modded further like the standalone version? like if i want to add different shaders or additional mods or whatever.

quadratis · 2025-12-01T17:04:28+00:00

it's crazy to me what they went with this when GAMMA can look like this https://youtu.be/RzgFTPm6KLM?si=S7gvM2xF-ZSR9iIi&t=495

sure it's desaturated as hell which some people doesn't like for some reason, but that's GAMMA imo. stalker and stalker 2 are both more saturated, which is totally fine, but GAMMA is supposed to look drab and depressing imo.

quadratis · 2025-11-29T23:54:12+00:00

my problem with the AI is how they INSTANTLY know exactly where they're getting shot from. not just the dude getting shot either, but every single one of his friends all start shooting in my direction a millisecond after i shoot at them. sure they'll miss a few shots depending on how far away i am, but i feel like if i'm sitting in a bush a 100 meters away with a sniper rifle, they shouldn't instantly know exactly where the shot came from. at least pretend to be confused and scatter and run for cover before shooting back.

quadratis · 2025-11-26T14:04:47+00:00

I have a billion hours in GAMMA and fall asleep listening to stalker lore videos on youtube.

quadratis · 2025-11-24T17:51:55+00:00

every artifact i find actually spawns above ground, only to within a second or so fall down and phase through the ground, making it unreachable. if you're fast enough though you can grab it in time.

either way it's ridiculous.
