I heard the corpo intro mission was buggy and they just cut it out. Dunno if that's true, though. Noticed a few small glitches as well, but nothing serious. A part of me wonders if the hardware plays a role in that too - for example, I'm playing with everything on Ultra and it looks and feels like a completely different game to when I tried it on my old hardware last year (or maybe they just fixed a lot, dunno). The most funny glitch was when I was driving in a van in a cutscene. You have the ability to skip long drives where nothing happens ... so I did that, and when the screen faded back from black, the whole van was completely trashed. All doors missing, the hood was missing, scratches everywhere, etc... that was hilarious. 😄 Shortly before the screen faded from black, I've heard a loud crash noise. My guess is the vehicle clipped into the ground after teleport and that's what damaged it to almost-destruction. Oh, I just remember one issues that I feel is kinda serious ... if you reload in hostile areas, sometimes the same thing happens. The player spawns and lands loudly on the floor, which can alert nearby enemies. Sometimes I had to reload 2 or 3 times until enemies in my area would not spot me instantly after reload. The thing is, I'm not sure how important stealth actually is in the game ... is it like in Deus Ex where it gets tracked and stuff happens? Or can I just run&gun and nobody cares? If not, then ... stealth is kinda not very enjoyable. It's really damn hard to pull off well without triggering any alarm.

The thing is, at first I thought it was designed for console... but even if you play with gamepad, the interface controls feel completely random. Some actions are different depending on in what menu you currently are, some buttons you have to hold, some you don't, etc... I have no idea how they were able to design it to be this complicated.

I realized my computer was about 6 years old already, so I finally invested into new hardware. Not gonna lie, a part of that was influenced because I finally wanted to play Cyberpunk 2077 and just recently watched the anime ... 😄 Man, did I realize how much my old hardware SUCKED already. Crazy how different games feel when you pump your hardware. Anyways ... So I'm playing Cyberpunk now and to be honest, I'm digging it a lot so far. The beginning was a bit slow and completely overwhelming with the HUD and all the crap going on, but by now I got used to it. The city looks damn great. Not sure what to think of the writing - some dialog is a bit weird if you don't click through it in the order it was apparently written. Also not sure if the female V characters voice fits at all times - there's some lines every once in a while that feel very disconnected to me. I also like how it kinda feels a bit like a bigger / more open world Deus Ex game. Will see if it stays like that or not. For now, gonna go back into the game.

But are they even checking that? So far what I've heard is that people basically get loaded onto buses and driven to wherever. Is there any medical examination at all? Look at the photos and videos of the people that are being drafted ... this is not "normal" (whatever that is, though). The way I see it, 300k is probably their end goal, but to get to that number, they have to actually draft even more people, since they expect a lot to not make it. Like, what's the point of drafting people who can't even walk.. you don't want those in your army.

tbh the videos I've seen of those protests were very .... lousy. Hell, yearly May 1st protests in Berlin look more impressive than the current twitter videos. It's like those people are at least as badly organized as their military is. Why aren't they forming a wall? Why not interlocking their arms? Why everyone is just standing around alone, waiting to get carried away by the police? This is a really sad display and still tells me that most russians are fine with mass mobilization.

If it were that easy, everyone would just announce "x is now my territory!" There would be no wars anymore, anyone could do that. I still don't believe russia would use nukes... guess we will find out soonish.

In defense, I also struggled with the exact meaning, since the post can be read in at least two ways.

How do I put people on the ignore list in this forum? /Edit: Nevermind, found it in the profile settings. Funny, I also had Oby on the ignore list.

I can even go a step further and tell you that Israel did not sign it ... but Russia did. Woops. Also, yes, it is whataboutism since you are defending russia with pointing out that others do it as well. Again, just make your own thread about it, nobody in the west is going to try to silence you. Which is, by the way, one of the perks we have here - you can speak your mind without having to fear to go to the gulag, or re-education camp, or getting drafted to die in a stupid war as cannon fodder.

Yes, using the weapon in itself is not a war crime, but showering a civilian village in flames is. Funny, I was wondering how long it will take till the first whataboutism post shows up. This thread is about ukraine and russia, if you want to talk about Israel then maybe make your own thread, nobody is going to silence you. Else just shove it up your pants, I don't care.

How many hours till they wake up?

This pinhead is a women? Hollywood ruins everything!

Looks like nobody believes this referendum is a good idea.

Since they are still trying to recruit people, I fear that special announcement won't be "we are leaving Ukraine." /Edit: Here's more for the war crime list.

I mean, how can they even think to win if this man is on the russian side:

Maybe someone will smoke in a no-smoking area and the offices burn down in the next few days, thus delaying the referendum.

I just can't get into Ergo Proxy. Tried it a long time ago, barely finished episode 1. Then few weeks ago I've tried it again since it is free on Amazon Prime again, but only made it to episode 3 ... For some reason I really can't get into it.

I'm actually surprised that he says it like that. Wouldn't have expected that. Maybe they make good money with selling drones now?

I think it's because we tend to forget about it. At least I did for a while, then you see those reports again and everything comes back. It's like with those Kadyrovs ... you forget they are even a thing, then you see in the news that they send civilians into a minefield and laughed about the explosions. We want to be the better people and don't behave like that, but man, after hearing what they constantly do to others, I'm not sure if I could be strong enough to not just shoot them on the spot if I were in that situation. Really have to keep reminding yourself that the war will end sooner if you don't butcher the enemy and thus make them surrender more easily.

So they apparently found more torture chambers in Izyum. Also found more dead soldiers with cut-off balls. Guess there is a reason why surrendering russian soldiers asked if their balls will be cut off.

Oh damn, I didn't realized the new Monkey Island is out already. Didn't expected it to be out already now. Reading reviews on Steam right now. Funny how suddenly people are fine with the art style when before everyone was ****ting on it.

Just finished that Cyberpunk show. Story is simplistic but who cares. Visual and audio was really nice. Generally a good experience for me.

Indeed. Almost every video I see, the music needs to be muted.

Likely not easy to react against them, since they fly high and suicide into you if they can. There's not much time to take them down unless you already know they are there. So I'm not surprised they "work."

Reminds me of George Clooney in Emergency Room. Shame he left the show later. It kinda dropped the ball then as well.
