S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl is perfectly playable 'out of the box', it hasn't been "unplayable" since its release date 12 years ago. To significantly polish it up, you only need to apply one patch. To significantly improve the graphics and polish it up, you only need XpressTuning's Remaster Edition (Non-ENB).

I played the GoG version of the original SoC. Col. Petrenko(?) aka the Duty trader at Rostok was killed during a Mercenary attack. From that point on, I was not able to buy anything from the Duty store because there was no one there. I think important NPCs getting killed is still a problem. That could potentially be game-breaking and ruin a campaign.

As a Canadian, I pay taxes that cover medical expenses for all people in the country. I couldn't care less if they are legal or illegal immigrants (or even just tourists). Human beings should have access to healthcare services in a time of need.

But hey, conservative capitalists would rather profit off of human suffering than alleviating it, so there's that.

The problem here is posters are confusing health care with emergency care. In the US, everyone is entitled to emergency care, even illegals. It's a federal law. However, other aspects of health care such as chemotherapy are not included under that umbrella.

Correct. People that are here legally.

There are many non-US citizens that are here legally:

Tourists

Green card holders aka Resident Aliens aka permanent resident.

Various other US visa holders that allow foreigners to stay and work here.

My mother-in-law was a Resident Alien. On her own, she qualified for Medicaid (no income, elderly).

Lol, behold the glory

I wouldn't sneer at that hardwood desk. It will probably outlast most newer and more stylish desks. ;)

I already expected that it would use Bing as a source for the textures and whatnot. The 3D is made from a digital mesh captured by aerial flyovers with satellite photos overlaid on them. It's too much of a herculean task to do everything by hand. At the very least, they should be going for something that turns out better than Google Earth (which comes with its own Flight Sim mode, just really simple). It looks like it's using fully rendered bridges at least. All I ask is that it runs well.

Not really new tech. We've been using online satellite topography images since the previous decade on FSX with TileProxy. Higher-res meshes would still be a big plus.

This sounds like Incel nonsense.

And Incels are mostly right wing/conservative, and the type who would actually dream of "Chads" all day. N64DD owns himself again.

I'm recently updated on the terminology myself. But, I was under the impression the MGTOW stuff first became established among black males and then spread to white males. It makes sense because blacks do have the highest divorce rate in the US.

BTW what does the "Chads" reference mean? I don't even know what that means...but I have a feeling I can debunk that too as soon as you explain it to me!

Chads refer to white alpha males who are tall (6'4" or better), athletic, chiseled good looks, six-pack abs, rich/good job, and a long hen pecker. The cream of the crop (top 20%) males. They also have a crappy attitude to match. The African-American equivalent would be a Tyrone.

In MGTOW circles, the women usually get laid by the Chads and Tyrones while the rest, aka beta males, end up as slaves to be used by women.

No. But, I've seen climate-change deniers and biology deniers. Right-leaning, left-leaning. They're both science deniers.
