Does someone have the cliff notes?

Mamma Mia, here we blorp again

I think getting into firearms can be a lot cheaper than people sometimes think. I know not every has $300 bucks laying around but if I had to recommend something that can be both a hobby and incredibly useful I would say firearms too

You people are sick!

Yeah lmao same I was cracking up when I saw that irl

I wish I was as funny as some of our comrades

You’re right, I don’t know the history. It was an off-the-cuff comment.

I didn't mean to contradict what you initially said. By "benefit of the doubt" I mean I give more leniency to nationalists when their people and culture have been genocided by an imperial power. Colonized people as a whole, in my opinion, can be cornered into a nationalist stance. I do not mean to defend any right-wing or reactionary views.

CW for ableist terms please

Edit: Thank you

I feel like nationalism in the context of colonial occupation deserves the benefit of the doubt, but I know you’re from there and know way more about him than me.

The only Michael I respect is Michael Collins

If you're looking for someone who plays extremely well/efficient and edits their content so its easier to watch than just watching someone play a spreadsheet simulator, I'd go with PerunGamingAU. I think he's considered one of the technically best Youtubers that make content by the community and he cuts out the long boring parts.

It is incredibly tedious, micromanagey, many confusing and/or obscure mechanics. I wouldn't say its long for the sake of being long, but in the later game the micromanagement required gets a little ridiculous in my experience.

Still scratches a hard sci-fi itch that I haven't found from a game in a long time.

I’m glad those cross body bags became cool, it’s almost like I get to carry a purse

And struggle for 5 minutes to ever get something out of it

I have not, guessing it’s pretty good given it kinda spawned a genre.

I’ve seen both A Visitor to a Museum and Dead Man’s Letters but not Stalker itself. I’d guess both those movies were pretty heavily inspired by it.

I think the gunsmithing, crafting, base building, scarcity, and survival elements are what sets GAMMA apart. The Zone feels a lot more alive and punishing.

I love the setting and atmosphere too, I just think GAMMA does it so much better.

GAMMA was my first Stalker game. I've spent probably a hundred hours in it and would still only consider myself a beginner. Stalker 2 was such a let down coming out of GAMMA, I un-installed 2 after maybe 10 hours and immediately reinstalled GAMMA.

By the same people who did the Long War XCOM overhaul mod. Anybody into 4x sci-fi solar system simulation/management should check it out. Still in EA but has come a long way from release.
