That's the ending of Silent Hill Shattered Memories.

When everything goes right, the game is a thing of beauty.

I assume church was out by then since Homer had the time to leave the house, go to the store, come back, relax, have a smoke etc while the sermon was going on. Flanders went straight home with the family while Marge and the kids go somewhere for lunch post-service.

Cyberpunk's AIs are actually intelligent, sapient and capable of understanding what they are doing and why.

Ours are just called intelligent so their creators can try to argue the slop it puts out is transformative.

Alternatively alternatively: "We've replaced our coders with a magical computer that does coding for us!"

"I was supposed to make a dynamic file packer, but I don't know how/don't have time so I'll make an iterating for loop and if my boss complains I'll pretend I misunderstood."

IIRC the main folks I follow seemed to agree if you did all, most, or even more than a slim minority of side quests the game became quite tedious and boring.

Imo medium could pick up the slack with unique armour passives (or unique armour passive combos) but that ship sailed the moment they released like thirty lights with extra grenades.

Yeah heavy needs *something*. As someone who uses it occasionally (cinderblock my beloved) its lack of stamina hurts but can be worked around. I think if it felt as much more durable than medium as it obviously feels over light currently it'd be much more paletable to people.

I'd swap out the flamethrower for the heat eat and the crisper for maybe an ultimatum for anti-tank emergencies since all three of the flamethrowers are more or less the same, the Torcher wins out.

I actually prefer the heavy fireproof armour for a loadout like this.

It's a sign of the times. Back in the 90s and 00s you could find a meter length bit of pipe with an L bend on one end just lying around in any dark alcove or even in the curb.

Then came the budget cuts. For a while they tried replacing them with boards with nails in them but it just wasn't the same

It does feel nice to come back after taking a few weeks off and get medals from accumulated MOs in batches of 50.

I've got odd bits and bobs left over to unlock in every warbond I have, I think I'd stress if I ever risked hitting medal cap.

Anyone can tell you this movie sucks. The producers have *so much* contempt for the intelligence of its audience that characters are constantly reminding each other what's going on.

But I love it, unironivally.
I love the gunfights, I love the oo-rah, I love when the alieum space ship explodes.

I ran into you in a raid once and thought you were some fan impersonator.

Then I saw myself in one of your vods. πŸ˜†

I think it fits really well on the CE-81 Juggernaut armour.

Listening to this I can't shake how it reminds me of the Horsetamer's Daughter, but sans princess. And I know *that*'s based on a book.

There's gotta be a book that does this already, surely?

Evade Window is my go to for hammer. Makes dodging easier to keep the bonk train going.

Evade Extender is also good for certain playstyles and certainly *looks* impressive when you're zipping around with charged step, but I generally find window more important.

It started on tik tok for that reason, people do it on YouTube because they're cross posting from that site or people *believe* YouTube has that rule because they've seen these cross posted videos.

Or Marisa, who cashes out with armour and big damage in short easy two-hit combos, or Manon who wants to alternate between sneaky grabs and surprisingly long reaching kicks.

Guile's combos are pretty difficult for what they give you so a lot of players just play defensively and go for big hits.
