  • Fun fact: pretty much all exit-saves in Bethesda games (Skyrim, Fallout, etc.) are not necessarily complete in their Data. There are actual cases where these can be easily corrupted and won’t work on a reload or even introduce long time save corruption if you use them. Don’t ever trust an exit-save in those games! (Source: me fooling around with the save system too much)




  • As a genre? I would say no. Cyberpunk is usually described as a capitalist dystopia in which a handful of companies supersede government powers and wage wars against each other beyond the concepts of national borders. In addition, cybernetic enhancements become commonplace, as a way for companies to extract more value from their workers. Cyberpunk stories usually are about groups rebelling against the system through organized crime, who ultimately fail to escape the underlying system of capitalism, doomed to repeat history time and time again.

    HL2 falls in none of the genre stereotypes. While it is dystopian, it’s not capitalist, so it’s not “punk” and it isn’t “cyber” either because of a lack of commonplace cybernetics.


  • Additionally:

    • while the food will taste the same, in most cases the mouth feel is so horrendously bad it will be inedible
    • rehydration of most foods is very hard to impossible, limiting it’s uses even more
    • if you put more than one kind of food in a batch, the chance of error in the process increase dramatically, because all food needs different amounts of time to dry

    I’m pretty sure the only actual use cases are berries and fruits. But those can all just be dehydrated normally or made into jam, so there is little to no purpose for a freeze dryer, except playing around with foods, which is not worth the price




  • Encased is a CRPG, heavily inspired by the classic Fallout games, bringing it’s mechanics into the modern age. It’s story is based on the classic book “Roadside Picknick” (known for being the inspiration of the Stalker series) and is very well written. It has a story narrator, similar to the Divinity: Original Sin games and a very in depth character creation. At the start you choose a department of a research company to work in, which will change the way you interact with many characters, adding some replay value. Anything more I could say would be a spoiler, but the entire beginning (first half to one hour) is an absolute banger.

    It’s my favorite indie game of the last few years and at the time of writing this, it is currently 90% of on steam, an absolute bargain




  • In recent times republicans in the USA are trying to push weird laws to force trans people to not express themselves and conform with their assigned gender at birth.

    This cartoon was made by a trans man. For them its a usual process in transitioning to have their breasts removed. With such laws, trans men would be required to somehow get breasts again to appear in public, which is obvious stupid.

    So to answer your question: Yes, Republicans are trying to force people into gender reassignment. This is just an extension of them trying to take away people’s medication, bully children and torture women
