Re: My theory/rant on capitalism and associated concepts wor
Note how I didn't say "money", I said "market mechanisms". Money, in of itself, is worthless. You need the entire market structure, a reason for it to be the agreed upon medium of exchange (viewed reliability, legal tender of a reliable country, etc), people paying in it and people buying in it in ...

Re: My theory/rant on capitalism and associated concepts wor
Communism never did away with the concept of money, which is an effective way of allocating goods even without capitalism. Capitalism has nothing to do with money per se, for throughout history civilizations have used money. @DDL: Oh don't get me wrong: if I were paid a million euros for doing my j...

Re: The Human revolution thread, now with 233213% more spoil
Decent game. Certainly better than IW barring one small gripe, at least, but some annoying things: It feels distinctly less "conspiracy" and more "a handful of bickering important people kinda working together to be annoying", and the backstory of the baddies is basically nonexistent; your ties to t...

Re: Smash or Dash?
GEP. I personally get the GEP gun and hold onto it for the entire game, since it makes dealing with milbots much, much easier. Plus, a crossbow is infinitely easier to get early on (the sniper can also be gained early, and Paul says mean things if you pick it)

Re: What are you playing? Mass Effect 3 edition
I'm boycotting it for disgracefully cutting out integral content to resell as a DLC. I might get it later (much, much later) and god knows I have enough games right now anyway.

Re: My theory/rant on capitalism and associated concepts wor
What? I was calling people douchebags because (and I cannot stress this enough) people are douchebags . It's not specific to communism or any political system, it's specific to people. The fact of the matter is that for communism to work effectively, it relies on this one salient fact somehow not b...

Re: Project 2027 - News?
This mod is beautiful. The combat is just so awesome. On the other hand, being stealthy is basically impossible at some points or otherwise absurdly silly hard, something TNM and Vanilla didn't have. Also, there are a handful of weird events/glitches that occur One particular one: If you side with t...

Re: Trestkon: Bomb Throwing Anarchist
Would it result in losing my saves? I am really having fun smashing the state with LAMs and rockets.

Trestkon: Bomb Throwing Anarchist
Having won the game multiple times, I decided it was time to start a "special mission" game. I would start up, join World Corp, rob as many places as possible to earn money, and then "reform" into an anarchist and use all of the money to buy explosives to destroy all PDX forces in the three district...

"Faction Battles" list
A faction battle is when you manage to get different factions of AI fighting against each other. I am making a list of the ones I have found in DX, list any that you can find beyond these if you can. -If you lure the UNATCO soldiers or Paul to the NSF troopers in the first level, they can basically ...

Re: Your most stupid death
I died from those stupid doors in the space station. Many, many times. I was jumping along to speed up my pace, went over a small bump, and presumably tripped and died (it did 50 damage but I was previously wounded) Death by Red Biocell I cleared out the front area of WC on day one. After exhausting...

Re: How fun.
Are you using the same Trestkon's pistols we other people use? Because the acc and damage is great. Well, atleast if you use the modus that .shoots after each other, not equally... As I said, the recoil is ridiculous. I know weapon mods can fix it a bit, but Alpha's pistols can do the job just as w...

Re: How fun.
Treskton's pistols are pretty good, but they have insane recoil, not too good accuracy, and not INCREDIBLY GOOD damage.
Whenever I use them, its like I am just blasting it in every direction and hoping it hits something
