from a shitty movie extremely loosely based on good sci-fi

I think part of why you’re getting downvoted to hell is because your initial comment reads like “I don’t have the answers (none of us do), but I know yours is wrong. I’m not contributing any facts to show why you’re wrong, but because I feel strongly that you are, I’ve decided to be insulting about it.”

I get it, world politics is complicated. Absolutely no action on a world stage is without unexpected consequences. But that in itself is not an argument for arming an ethnostate we know to be killing civilians at an alarming rate. And the unexpected consequences would have to be damned severe to outweigh the known consequences of our current actions: if we keep providing weapons to Israel, those weapons will be used to kill women and children in droves.

Since you are a person “with knowledge of how any of it works”, please share with the class what those penalties and repercussions are. Educate us poor ignorant “random Internet citizens”.

“It comes out of the fuckin’ ground. I couldn’t believe it!”

Nope.

Well… bye.

“Spending a huge chunk of the budget on dishonest advertising and then releasing a significantly different, half-broken game is still cool though.”

Looks like someone cropped the attribution, but this was actually created by a friend of mine. He’s got some of his stuff available here: https://www.redbubble.com/people/comicalconcept/shop

EDIT: I think he made this stuff back around 2010. Wayback machine has his old site with higher res versions, including this one.

Yeah, it’s weird. Last night group and split were having no effect on the character, but after a bunch of restarts and updating to the preview build of SteamOS I’m able to group again. So at least there’s that. (No idea which if any of those things resolved the bug, unfortunately.)

It can be enjoyed casually solo or with close family like a girlfriend or teenage kids.

One thing to be aware of is that it’s not designed for drop-in multiplayer. I offered to be player 2 for my girlfriend’s playthrough and now any time she wants to play by herself my character is stuck in her party, not following her around and taking up a slot that can’t be allocated to one of the origin characters.

(UPDATE: This last bit may have been a transient bug; I was able to get the character to follow again after some troubleshooting. Still can’t swap the character for an NPC though.)

So unless you know your other multiplayer buddies can always play with you, think twice about MP or you may be at a disadvantage.
