I'm dead inside but my body keeps moving. Critical of the State of Alabama; it's awful. Videographer, artist, and programmer. Unemployable cripple and monster.

Seeing some renewed concerns about this FCC action and potential for significant, bad regressions on various firmwares. Kal of Valleytech Custom Solutions seems to be concerned about it, and I trust his instincts on the matter.
Per the thread, "... the FCC issued ... (91 FR 57798) on 9/11 titled "Protecting Against National Security Threats to the Communications Supply Chain Through the Equipment Authorization Program". It requires an FCC ID on imported gear to "protect" us. It becomes active on Oct 13." That's tomorrow.
This is the video that got me to thinking about this again. It hasn't impeded my hardware shipments thus far but the speculation is that it might lead to people gimping some firmwares. Not great. www.youtube.com/shorts/AS21o...
Increased viewing distance and full A-Life simulation are now apparently present within the game. Good show! Seemed as though that was missing from the original release so now the game should be significantly more like a STALKER title as people know them to be. More is yet to come, though.
STALKER 2 Makes Zone Snipers Happy Again with a Vision-Extending Major Update

It bears repeating that STALKER 2 is the game now that it should have been at launch. No shade on the devs either, they were (and still are) working in an active warzone. The v2.0 overhaul got it 95% of the way there. This update hammers out the last major gripe most had. From here, it's all good.

"arabs have contributed nothing to the arts and sciences" is such a funny fucking thing for a bog ape wearing a little suit to say
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."
Ah, I could rekindle my fiery hatred for the Backlash. Some of those mid-game Backlash levels are impossible, or at least I am convinced of as much. Then again, I'm older now. Maybe I'd be better at the game.

I'm right here with HBomberguy on this one, with the exception that I don't think I need an explanation. I will simply assume that these people are irrelevant and that no meaningful logic can be attributed to their rise. bsky.app/profile/hbom...
I don't understand why people ever watched the H3 podcast. Like none of these people are funny or likeable, and they don't even seem to like each other. Someone is going to have to explain what made any of this compelling

Yes, I remember being totally enthralled when I reached this point. Furthermore, in a soundtrack lacking so much as a single bad song and many truly great ones, this one is still transcendent. One of the greatest zeniths of RPG music in general. It's what really sells Zeal as an amazing place.
From a world of ice to lush green through Corridors of Time <3 Still one of the most magical moments I've ever experienced in a video game. Been a long time since I last reached this far into CT. When this fired up in my first playthrough in ZSNES, I'm sure I just stood and soaked it for a while.
