I don't agree with the digital ID since it has implications to snowball further down road into a tool for a implemented authoritarian surveillance state.
But the fact everyone basically carries a smartphone with personal data that is linked to private corporations is kinda ironic.
Like the government can't have a digital footprint of you but Google, Apple, Samsung etc can.
I'm sure these private companies are the bastions of privacy. They surely won't sell your data or bend over to government subpoenas at the first real threat to their bottom line.
No discussion regarding this digital ID has rwally mentioned this and I find it incredibly concerning.
There should be base line regulation stopping this both at the private and governmental levels. But if the last 5ish years have shown in the world, most people are realistically comfrontable and complacent in all this. At least until the gestapo are at your door., but then it's a week bit too late isn't it.
100% true, but I also feel like Stalker 2 has pandered more to those casual gamer audiences since they clearly can't survive as a game developer off of us fans alone.
Stalker 2 definitely feels less abrasive and challenging than previous titles and mods.
But I also have hundreds of hours in GAMMA and Anomaly so I've got my biases and know how Im suppose to play. I am use to being aggressively abused and punished by the game, which is a very different experience from the casual "mainstream" gamers.
I think that heavily depends on what is being defined as "mainstream".
Is it the same buggy, broken mess it was during the first week of launch.....no.
Is it a smooth bug free well optimized game. Not even fucking close.
You still need a pretty decent beefy system to play it comfrontably and even then it's still littered with problems.
You do realize that it's a choice made by the woman herself right? If you enter Othrodox church as a woman not wearing one they won't kick you out. It's also a tradition not a requirement.
I've been in my fair share of Orthodox churches in Romania and very few women actually wear a veil for normal church services.
It's okay the crack heads at Bellevue park make sure to guard the dimensional portal in Kensingtslon at night.
The neighborhood has never been safer.
I don't know what province youre in but also the skyrocketing cost of food and groceries.
What I got a couple years ago with $100 doesn't buy shit now a days.
Fuck our government both federal and provincial, and all parties. Fuck every politician that sits in parliament collecting a pretty 6 figure paycheque and watching their real-estate asset appreciate as Canadians get perpetually fucked over time and time again.
It's the same reason we got all those let's play screaming youtubers in the 2010s.
They appeal to much younger and more impressionable demographic of young teens and children that are easily entertained through what most adults would probably label as annoying and very shallow content.
God this is insufferable, its just a meme dude chill.
