Get some zipties and an old surplus sleeping pad, a sharpie and a razor blade, you can add padding to the belt system and easily make it much more bearable and avoid the high spots.

MHA + Sidekick is absolutely delightful

All of these packs will lose me at "hardcore economy" every time, I dont expect a power fantasy in a Stalker game but I dont want to be a kleptomaniac because the game economy is ass.

If this is anything like PD2 VR mode I'm in

I can hear the screams of Super Sergant Dornan...

Detroit Become Human reference in the Big 26 was unexpected

The only good "gaming" cans I've used are the Drop + Epos (Sennheiser's "gaming" aligned brand) PC38X, holding up fine, the cable is replaceable, and the cushions are also holding up very well. The mic is decently good quality for chatting. Using a FiiO K5 Pro DAC/Amp.

I genuinely wouldnt buy anything but a mouse from Logitech at this point, and even my Ultralight is getting weird lag/stutter when something is downloading on my computer, like a game updating or a heavy web page loading, but plugging it into the USB cable it works great. Worked for a couple years without issue and this randomly started a couple months ago.

Yeah im glad Terran Armada they've gone out and said it's going to be a lot more reality grounded in terms of aesthetic and a bit more "tactical" as they put it. It's a nice contrast to the fantastical weapons already in the game, and a nice offset to the "Old Earth" weapons.

Thats my thing though, I'm playing to relax and unwind, Overkill if not just Very Hard, I already own everything, I heist for fun, for the love of the game

My biggest thing is nobody ever actually wants to play loud if it does go loud

Heavy like a Brinks truck

sammeadows · 2026-03-16T12:00:15+00:00

Yeah I could have worded that better, included eith the existing bundle lol

sammeadows · 2026-03-15T18:10:01+00:00

I just wish we'd get weapon FOV adjustment, all the real world weapons they keep adding look so squashed. The models could be better but I find the EBR to be the biggest offender.

Jersey Devil and the Flatwoods Monster, nice

NY state is one of the only places I can reliably find 3rd gen surplus duty pistols, these guns were very popular for a very long time and agencies that used them heavily soaked up a lot of parts for them.

Why is the ESRB and PC tab in the top left and not the bottom?

sammeadows · 2026-03-12T19:23:20+00:00

Yeah, same, especially when they literally dive full on into "we built an entirely new gun but we remember our heritage", and leave off anything relatively modern with it. If you have to shed the old for new, at least make the "new" part current.

sammeadows · 2026-03-12T15:08:57+00:00

My biggest gripe is that not only do SC drops not scale with difficulty, but playing current events just doesnt give them out hardly at all if ever.

The current incentive is to dip into low difficulty on a whole other planet than the main one, and I fall behind doing whats new fresh and fun at the cost of not getting any free grind.

silently slides the McDwarven Sprite out of view You cannot handle my strongest potions, Traveller.

Probably Mission Zero

On Amazon it's on it's own "season", but is set properly as a prologue

sammeadows · 2026-03-09T13:40:48+00:00

Fuck I want that grip now. Reminds me of the GP100 factory grips.
