  • No, I’m comfortable assuming that someone who had actually been through war wouldn’t be so casual speaking of it.

    Also, a bunch of statements? Motherfucker that was my first comment this thread.

    If you’re ready for bodies in the streets, more power to you. But get off the chair and get the fuck to it instead of ushering others into the grinder.


  • That’s easy to say for the living, and for people who have never witnessed this kind of shit first hand.

    I’m not the person you’ve been replying to, and I share your concerns, and the belief that we are rapidly running put of options. But I’m not comfortable making such sweeping chipper statements about this stuff when I’ve been privileged enough to never experience actual war.




  • The ability to spray infinite amounts of magic, near frictionless lubricant out of my asshole. No, this is not a sex thing, it’s an arcane-trickster meets the worlds weirdest clown thing.

    Imagine being able to have a cartoon-style banana peel. Now make it nigh invisible and give yourself an infinite supply. Now make it deployable by farting, or at least pretending to.

    And it’s magic. It actually materializes like 6 inches away from my butt, so I don’t turn my pants into a goopy mess.

    Colorless, odorless, tastless. The perfect pratfall. The undetectable laxative. Perfect for parties, an instant “ice” skating rink! Make money winning slip and fall cases! Stand on your head and become the sumo wrestling champ! They can’t push over what their hands slip off of. Win every bobsled race with the most unconventional form, spraying near frictionless lube in front of the sled the whole way. Create the perfect getaway from a heist by sending your pursuers slipping and sliding. Need to quit adventuring and lay low while the sumo and bobsled judges search for the guy who stole all the gold medals after being disqualified? You can make some easy side money through industrial applications! Need to stage some “accidents” to take out terrible co-workers at your industrial job? You’d be surprised how dangerous it can be to go careening off a catwalk at walking speed. Lighten up a funeral, spray lube all over the casket handles! Need to spice up some alone time with the widow? Do I really need to say more?







  • My parents recently saw this when buying a new car. My mother really only drives within a 30 minute radius of home, not far. Fuel-wise, an EV would be perfect for her. But even a used hybrid was outside of the price range they could spend. So used gas engine it is.

    Long term they’ll be paying more because they couldn’t handle the up front cost for the better option. What was that bit about good boots from Discworld again?



  • Welcome to Night City is a good starting point as a mod pack. Tons of bug fixes, overhauls driving for the better, adds a ton of “immersive” mods like being able to order drinks at bars and actually drink them there with animations, and covers a lot of the basic Quality of Life mods you’d expect.

    On top of that:

    • There’s a series of mods that add more “faction” themed unique weapons, and they tend to be added to new little scenes when yoh find them to add extra flavor.
    • There’s a mod that completely overhauls the stealth mechanics and adds a brand new upgrade tree around it.
    • There’s a mod that adds “chipware”, a concept from the tabletop game that was cut, and one shown in the Edgerunners anime, where you can slot chips into your neck to temporarily unlock perks later on the tech tree. There are ways to unlock them permanently, and custom perks too. It adds a lot more depth to builds.

    That’s all I have off the top of my head, not at my PC.

    There are some big name combat overhaul mods that I’ve been interested in, but when I last checked like half a year ago, they hadn’t seemed to be in a remotely “stable” state.
