Lost control and can't play game
ClawzCTR replied to ClawzCTR's topic in Grounded 2: Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)
Hi there I see this may not be as rare as I thought, but ALL saves on my Xbox (including my son's who's 6) are all walking forward.into the scenery and then you are stuck... You can look all around but all you see is colours (almost like zoomed in part of scenery), every single Iteration of ever save on my Xbox is affected. I tried deleting and reinstalling game but nothing has changed, still same getting stuck in scenery. Even tried the fix bugs and force dieing to reset position but still nothing works. Looks like I've lost weeks of gameplay now! I would attach video but it's saying it's too big... So here's a link to it: https://photos.app.goo.gl/t73yo97EwQxU2yYT6 -

The All Things Political Topic - What's Going On...?
rjshae replied to Lexx's topic in Way Off-Topic
In the aftermath of the Jimmy Kimmel show's indefinite suspension, I have to wonder: Apart from the political alignment, how is what Jimmy Kimmel said about the suspect any different than what DJT said? In this case, the only difference I can see between Kimmel and DJT is in who has more polical power. Both claim without evidence that the suspect is a member of an extreme political faction; one claims left wing and the other the right wing. Indeed, conspiracy theories included a conjecture about the suspect being a member of the far right Groypers, who are in conflict with Kirk. Likewise, DJT immediately jumped to the conclusion that the (then unknown) suspect was a member of a radical left group. As usual, the answer is probably somewhere in between. -

The All Things Political Topic - What's Going On...?
BruceVC replied to Lexx's topic in Way Off-Topic
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx20lwedn23o The only way Trump could stand for another term is to change the Constitution and the GOP simply doesnt have that support, so its not possible and thats just a third term so the idea of him becoming a Monarch is even more unlikely . So it doesnt matter what he says or what some of his supporters say. This is just a sensationalized story peddled by MAGA and then people respond to it as if its possible " On the face of it, the US Constitution seems to rule out anyone having a third term. The 22nd Amendment states: No person shall be elected to the office of the president more than twice, and no person who has held the office of president, or acted as president, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected president shall be elected to the office of the president more than once." Changing the constitution would require a two-thirds approval from both the Senate and the House of Representatives, as well as approval from three-quarters of the country's state-level governments. Trump's Republican Party controls both chambers of Congress but does not have the majorities needed. Additionally, the Democratic Party controls 18 of the 50 state legislatures. " -

Trump has said lots of things and 40-60% of what he says is BS or nonsense as you guys often quote and post and we laugh about And it IS a BS and sensationalized story that somehow Trump is going to stay on forever as US president Rather focus on the policies and things he does that are real like migration enforcement and tariffs But he will never become a leader for life like in Russia or NK -

If you continue to read BruceVC posts of your own free volition, you are mad indeed. Well, maybe I should check to see what he said myself... Oh wait, I can't! And I think to myself...what a wonderful world. Well, except for all the other stupid, disingenuous ****s out there, but it is what it is. -
It drives me mad that Bruce still gives Trump the benefit of doubt. Tell me it's not possible to be this naive? Trump is doing *exactly* what he said he would.

https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/20/politics/trump-justice-department-pam-bondi "“Pam: I have reviewed over 30 statements and posts saying that, essentially, ‘same old story as last time, all talk, no action. Nothing is being done. What about Comey, Adam ‘Shifty’ Schiff, Leticia??? They’re all guilty as hell, but nothing is going to be done,’” Trump wrote, referring to former FBI Director James Comey, Sen. Adam Schiff of California, and New York Attorney General Letitia James. Trump added, “We can’t delay any longer, it’s killing our reputation and credibility.”" In some other reality, people might do something about this -

CaptainMarshall started following Chill Resistance 100%
-
For some unknown reason I have permanent 100% chill reduction. This stays even if I am wearing no armor, have no mutations active, and have not consumed any food or smoothies. When I go into the ice cream cart, the chill bar appears but the chill level never increases. This is handy but I don't think it is supposed to work like this. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Missed this, Surviving Mars was pretty fun, although I got a nasty CTD issue with my concrete rovers eventually. -
#BRINGBACKTHEBARD Absolutely love Grounded, fully 100% (Achievements and all obtainable equipment anyways) completed it up NG+1 dipping into NG+2, Would've gone further but the beauty of Grounded 2 dropped. Obviously still working their bugs and issues but love every part. Definitely need more decorative pieces that aren't just the mounts and plushies (Trophies). Currently at the end of act 1 so now we're just grinding and building nice little themed bases, However I think it would be absolutely BANGING if we added more Bard esc weapons, Grounded had the Bard's Tutor and Bard's Bow, But I strongly feel Grounded 2 could 100% bring back the Bard, Imagine let's say...A Black Ox Marching Drum, quick attacks send out a small wave like the attack of the Mantis, Charged attack sending out a kinda 'Ground Slam' AOE style attack, if you wanted you could make it give a AOE effect that increases defensive stats maybe? Other ideas like a maybe a Bass and or Electric guitar (Maybe Bass for Tier 2 and Electric for Tier 3?) That you swing like Sword? Every hit gives a debuff to surrounding foes or alternatively a fiddle that gives inspiration to your party (Polar opposite of how bows work, you can only block and 'Inspire', no DMG) Or if we wanna merge it we the Wizard Class, Harp constructed out of...IDK Grasshoppers that are coming out that when pluck it sends a homing note that does blunt DMG and then charged one follows the arc pattern of the current staves. I suppose in that notion, for solo players those more 'Party Based' instruments could be coupled with Buggies and a Psuedo Summoner? No clue, just a brain wave I've had whilst bored at work. Thanks for anyone whom reads this and hope you have a lovely day :)

Maybe in another 5-10 years I can just buy a mini-pc/mini-desktop for $1600 and be fine, since I'm guessing my caring for mega gaming will wane ever more anyway. Yeah yeah, just buy a console. But something like this is simply more interesting to me - plus at least it's a PC, not just a game and TV cube. Anyway, with some setting tweaking the fact it runs BL4 at 1080 or even 1440 with "playable" fps is kinda cool. - Yesterday

Stupid cyberpunk authors didn't think people would use their books as manuals, I guess. -
Sorry not stinking set, I meant stink bug set.

Guthery Miller started following Mantis armor
-
So what I've noticed is that the mantis armor set doesn't really fit the design of a mantis. The plague doctor look is cool but that should be reserved for like a stinking set or something else. A mantis is a predator but does so as silent and carefully as possible. I think the armor set should represent that and I think either a ninja look or samurai look would be better. Open to feedback as well on my idea if its good or not.

Curtis Yarvin has been blogging about his dreams for almost twenty years, blogs called Unqualified Reservations and Gray Mirror, you can look them up if you want, and he calls it Dark Enlightenment (a name that teenagers could easily pick for their goth or black metal band). Companies existing as their own little kingdoms with their own laws, and them as kings. Cities run as companies, competing for citizens. The final Cyberpunk form of Guard Dog's beloved libertarianism. He blogged about how to turn the US into an autocracy and has inspired the neo-reactioary movement. He's a nutjob who has gone from defining castes of people in the US, arguing that South American immigrants are part of a caste where men are criminals and women on welfare, to giving them names from Tolkien's Lord of the Rings (elves are the liberal ruling elite, hobbits are the middle class and dwarves the workers) and wants to replace the elves with dark elves (i.e. him and his ilk). Friends with J. D. Vance (who has publicly quoted the "works" of Yarvin and referenced Yarvin's idea of the Cathedral in speeches), even though he's been trying to distance himself from him, and backed by Peter Thiel. The same Peter Thiel who runs companies like Mithril and Palantir, because referencing Tolkien's body of work is fun. A nutjob who was invited to the inaugural gala of Mango Mussolini because by now he's an influencial figure among the alt-right / neo-reactionaries. You know, someone who wants to turn the United States into a monarchy, with ties to the vice president, in an administration where the president has posted and talked about himself as being the king on more than one occasion. Who said that voting for him would be the last time people need to vote. With people like Bruce still believing he's joking. The tech bros are, as Gromnir put it, vying for control. Absolute control. I mean, what can you do when you're so rich that you and your familiy will never want for anything for any forseeable future? Well, why not become king? -

@Elerondyeah, we specific identified the tech bros feeling left out o' the decision making regarding government regulation o' ai as a motivation for choosing trump over harris, but the problem is they get everything else trump along with deregulation. trump is mercurial and is simultaneous trying to take control of the US economy. in 2024, the potential downside o' a trump Presidency for tech bros as he talked up tariffs, mass deportations and suggested he would overhaul the fed, shoulda' been enough to discourage people who were collective making more money under biden than any group o' people had ever made during a similar span o' time in the history o' the US. take him seriously but not literally. people have been saying that bit o' pith since 2015 and time and again trump shows us how it is a mistake to not take him literal even if he frequent tacos. so is 2025 and the tariffs were never gonna happen for reals is now happening and so too is mass deportations. contrary to trump claims, nobody in their right mind is making major US manufacturing investments 'cause o' endemic uncertainty caused by trump and we finally got a rate cut that trump wanted, but we got it 'cause signs is showing a serious weakening o' the economy. any foreign government which is willing to make a billion dollar investment in trump's sh!t coin gets favorable deals, which leads more uncertainty, and certainty was kinda the reason the dollar has been an effective reserve currency which is partial why we got market multipliers in the US which has been considerable better than europe or asian. yeah, the tech guys is building ai data centers at a break neck pace, data centers which create almost no new jobs for american workers, and certainty not for those rust belt folks who voted for trump, but simultaneous trump has cut federal investment in all kinda energy projects 'cause he hates windmills and solar, and is not as if by doing so trump made the fossil fuel guys happy 'cause trump is simultaneous working overtime to keep fuel prices low while also making energy production more expensive via his tariff shenanigans and mass deportations. the tech bros need vast new energy production and trump actions is making energy production more difficult and less lucrative, so... etc. yeah, the tech bros got deregulation o' ai and they exorcised lina khan, but on balance, are they more uncertain today compared to september o' 2024? am understanding why bankers and investors is ok with uncertainty 'cause they is making buckets o' money whether there is a massive shift up or down in the markets. am disappointed by the myopia o' the investor class, but we get it. converse, if during the biden years you were a tech bro who made more money than were previously imagined, why would the reality o' 2025 look like a win? HA! Good Fun!
