400+ EV victory

You aren't wrong!

how is it?

Interesting! I played a lot of SS13 years and years ago, mostly on /tg/station. I saw the trailer for SS14 during the PC gaming show a few months ago. It brings back a lot of memories for me with the rough edges sanded off. I don't know what SS13 is like today so it's hard for me to do a direct comparison between the two.

more user friendly?

I have no idea how SS13 plays today, but SS14 feels a lot more modern than what I remember. It's off that god-awful BYOND platform and running off of a custom engine called Robust Toolbox (heh) written in C#. The performance is generally lag-free and can handle some wild player counts (Colonial Marines is capped at 350 people and has ~160 in a game right now late on a Sunday). It also allows for neat stuff like piloting shuttles in game. For example, when you play cargo, you actually have to fly the cargo shuttle to the trading station. You can also build custom shuttles (lovingly called shittles) which salvage has to do. There are a lot of context menus when you're constructing/deconstructing objects that tell you what tool you need to use next so you aren't left guessing. Perhaps most interesting to me is that the movement isn't grid-based, it's all free movement so you don't get in those weird juggling-back-and-forth-with-another-character situations.

expanded mechanics?

Quite the opposite on the official SS14 servers, at least. Plenty of things are lacking, particularly in medical. Currently, there is no surgery, genetics, or virology on the official servers though surgery is a focus currently. It's also lacking in antags as well. You're limited to traitors, thieves, nukies, zombies, and rarely rev.

Good luck with the job interview! For games, I've been jumping around a bit.

• Space Station 14. Ever-present. I pretty much exclusively clown/mime/tide.

• Yakuza 0. I finally started making progress in the series and beat this one.

• Metaphor Refantazio. I'm still getting started in it, but I'm liking what I see so far.

• In Stars and Time. I just started this on the recommendation of a friend. The dialogue has a bit too much bottom-speak so I'm trying to power through it.

• Company of Heroes 2. I picked this back up again to play with some friends. I main OKW since it fits best with my play style.

Interesting! I played through the first three Sonic games about two years ago. What did you think?

playing MGS1

First time?

Bruh... McDonald's is only edible within like 5 minutes of it being served. How room temperature are those fries?

That's the plan. The chuds in my family don't trust the media or the intelligence agencies, but they gulp down whatever they are fed about China by those same orgs.

This is what it comes down to. The US has a lot of expensive, boutique weapons that made defense contractors very wealthy. When they're put into use against a near-peer, it doesn't take long for them to be countered. The HIMARS, for example, is in-and-out of efficacy because Russia learned how to jam their guidance systems.

Main character syndrome

I haven't gotten a clear answer from the libs and chuds in my life about what exactly China did to them to make them so unhinged about it. Looking forward to plumbing the depths during the holiday season.

Oh damn, this made it here too. It's part of a larger thread of "anti-abortion furries." I spent last night dunking on it with the rest of my people

Chud furries were getting ready vocal around the election. It's generally furries with cross in bio or gun fetishists.

One thing I noticed is that there are a noticeable amount of young (late teens/early 20s), white, gay men voting for Trump. They're also furries because that's the circle I run in. I've talked to some of them and they lack the context of how anti-queer the GOP truly is since they've grown up post-Obergefell which was less than a decade ago. The anti-trans hysteria should be a big tell, but they don't think they're next on the chopping block. I've made it a point to remind people what it was like before Trump and how those people are still there.
