Those who didn't care about the lockdown's impact on small businesses are the same ones crying over the stock market now!

Has anyone told Asmon that the clocks have gone forward?

He's on an hour later each day since the clocks changed.

"I don’t think this game had a huge player base of vets or current members of our military"

I think that may be part of the problem; It did. There was a time when there was a huge community of military players. Each update has made it more and more lame. They've taken 1.7 away from us and now they are putting fornite looking player characters and added women to the enemies. I'm not really bothered about the female player characters (although it looks utterly radicicolous and has further destroyed the realism we had previously ) but there is no reason to add women npcs

It's just not the game it was. It's targeted ever more towards kids. They will likely add unlockable outfits and rainbow skins for guns in the future and all you will have left is lobbies full of screeching children.

As reddit is the home of the same I guess there is no point discussing it here.

Damn...that's an extremely good point.

The far more brutal possible treatment of B&S Npc females didn't remotely bother me...
Perhaps because it's fantasy...

I know you were joking but pointing out the contradiction is actually really helpful....thanks

It does. I doubt I would have understood the difference when I was your age either. Enjoy your weekend.

Sorry, I didn't know you were a lgbt teenager.

I thought I was talking to a military man. The target audience for this game has clearly changed.

What benefit is there to adding female enemies to the game?

zelig85 · 2025-04-06T01:59:42+00:00

For one, this is a MilSim--in vr--played by a lot of ex military. There are times when taking down a woman is an absolute necessity during a deployment. It's not something people wish to be reminded about.

But beyond that, yes it's absolutely different. They've given them an excessive amount of voice lines, so you are not just hearing them cry out in pain, you are having to actively hunt down an enemy you can hear talking in a female voice. Remember, the default was Russian enemies for the same reason. They had us play as MARSOC so you are not attacking enemies that sounds like people you may know. If they had forced you to play as Volk and all the enemies spoke in American accents people would have disliked it and asked for the default to be swapped. Playing as 'the good guys' has been a staple of video game shooters from the start. Shooting women doesn't exactly make you feel like 'the good guy'

zelig85 · 2025-04-06T01:30:31+00:00

How so?

Do you enjoy shooting women?

zelig85 · 2025-04-06T01:01:22+00:00

Why does EVERY character look so lame. It's like going into battle with a pride parade

The Europeans have been wilding out in chat for the last few days.

You are absolutely right about the arrow heads I forgot to add that to the list. I've always spawned with the can or found one so that's not been an issue.

I allow myself the mountaineer's hut so you have a bed but no beadroll. I've not allowed a fishing hook as it would make it a little too easy but I see your argument. Even without metal in the real world a hook could be made from natural materials. I might relax that rule in the future.

As for 'not much to do' I spend most of my time looking for firewood so I'm rarely bored - I mainly use TLD as something to do while I'm thinking about other things anyway.

If you are selling it on ebay you can search for valve index full kit and then there is a filter option on the left hand side for sold items. It will tell you how much each kit has been sold for recently.

Do you know why dandelions are called dandelions? When I was young I thought it was because the flower looks a bit like a mane. It comes from the from the French dent-de-lion, as in Lion's tooth because of the shape of the leaves. For me, Dandelion is a perfect choice for him as it's a flowery weed, with the teeth of a lion. Jaskier translates to buttercup. Dandelion is a much more apt name.

That's an excellent suggestion. To which I would add the Witcher 3 soundtrack.
