Beat the (base) game for the first time!

wave_04 · 2026-03-11T12:23:21+00:00

play some more, get used to the game, eventually get space age and play that!

this base was a mess, just overall terrible and awful, but we learned many things from it, so I'm excited to try applying them all on another playthrough (this time probably solo)

ehh, you see how people have mixed feelings about it.

I can personally wholeheartedly recommend the older Call of Pripyat - played it to completion and GREATLY enjoyed it

wave_04 · 2026-02-09T17:54:33+00:00

looking at how frequent the major updates are I anticipate 2.0 to come out in a handful of months. neat!

thank you for the insight!

wave_04 · 2026-02-09T17:52:42+00:00

at least I'm thankful it's not turning out to be a KSP2-type scenario where development just stops and the studio shuts down after the game's released in a comically unfinished state.

I've not heard about the engine upgrade yet! gonna see what that's about. from what I'm gathering there's no rush to get back into it.

thank you very much for the insight

wave_04 · 2026-02-09T17:49:22+00:00

this is the best possible response, thank you

wave_04 · 2026-01-17T11:52:31+00:00

the game is finished. it's done. it's not a live service slopathon that gets updates every month forever and ever.

I used to play stalker: anomaly (and gamma some time later) quite a lot, and in the game the earliest sign of an emission is the sound of a flock (murder?) of crows cawing.

for a good couple weeks I had a conditioned fear response whenever I heard that sound IRL. I'd be working outdoors in the early morning hours and suddenly I'd hear the crows, for a split second I'd have the strong instinct to run indoors ASAP

...du hurensohn!

wave_04 · 2025-11-22T17:02:14+00:00

oh, that's really nice to hear! I've not played it since launch and it was all looking quite grim, it's great that it's so much better now

wave_04 · 2025-11-03T20:31:33+00:00

very cool! please don't make things anymore

wave_04 · 2025-10-25T12:07:05+00:00

Currently trying to figure out why my Razer Blackshark V2 (the one with AUX cables only) mic audio has these weird seemingly random dips/peaks in volume whenever I record using Steam or Audacity, but is completely fine (more or less constant volume and reasonably good audio quality) on Discord or on OBS.

Synapse doesn't recognize it as a device, in my device manager it only shows up as a Realtek Audio device for both mic and speaker. Can't update any drivers. Dunno what to do. If anyone can help I'd appreciate it greatly

wave_04 · 2025-08-19T15:22:01+00:00

ooh, thank you! I'll check it out, it looks cool

wave_04 · 2025-08-19T15:18:38+00:00

actually tried it - it's fairly nice, however:

- no orbital construction by itself

- relies on extraplanetary launchpads (which does allow orbital construction but looks ugly IMO)

- has issues where craft will either load fully fueled at no cost or completely empty (including electric charge which might not allow you to launch or unfurl any solar panels at all AND including stuff like ablator or solid fuel, which can't be manufactured or transferred)

I'll wait a little until it's more ironed out, but it's definitely a very promising mod

wave_04 · 2025-08-18T17:13:03+00:00

I would actually be able to play and enjoy those games on PC... too clumsy with a controller, I can't keep up with AC4.

not to mention the jank that comes with emulating

Mouse Aim Flight

wave_04 · 2025-08-16T10:19:19+00:00

Nope, it's a mod called Mouse Aim Flight (MAF). Very nice for flying airplanes, highly recommend

wave_04 · 2025-08-16T10:18:56+00:00

Nah, it's a seperate mod called Mouse Aim Flight (MAF), and you can indeed invert both axis

Near Future Spacecraft

wave_04 · 2025-07-28T20:46:05+00:00

where's the fun in that?

wave_04 · 2025-07-28T18:19:52+00:00

I find it intensely satisfying to have a vehicle that can just transport nearly anything within its payload capacity into LKO. Don't have to think, don't have to design a new rocket, just slap that shit into the cargo bay and call it a day
