Shoc unmodded and COP unmodded are both pretty bland looking, and both are massively improved by mods. http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/540648201806840774/1E776DB496FFE6AF20A941FB6255D2581C3F648E/ This is with the mod "Misery", which itself uses a significantly tweaked Atmosfear 3. http://atmosfear...

There's a reason the process takes a lot of time and a lot of talking to psychologists. Gender identity isn't clear black and white "man or woman", there's grey area, and it's entirely possible for people to fit in there and be comfortable and attached enough to their current physical form not to ch...

No, I live in Philadelphia, which is all in all a fucking fantastic place to live. But that's fantastic by American standards. And DDL, I wasn't accusing you of being a troll, just saying that the topic inspires trolling. I really don't want to see Aemer or Vector commenting on trans issues. As far ...

Not really much "probable" about it. Better engine, more fleshed out mechanics, and less bullshit. A friend of mine still refuses to play any STALKER game because he tried Shoc and couldn't manage taking on the bandits in Sid's intro mission, because he, of course, chose "Master" difficulty right fr...

Danish culture certainly sounds pretty nice, and maybe a place where you could say "overt sexism is more or less eliminated". Me, I live in America. My dad flipped out when I told him I wanted to be a teacher in middle school. Most men I know are still of the opinion that women are this alien, inexp...

Also, technically: "Women are born women, but thanks to the magic of gender reassignment they can now change this". I was really hoping for transwomen not to be brought up, because that's even worse trollbait than anything else brought up so far, but there you go. Transwomen ARE women, and have alw...

@ JSL Not all fat people are unhealthy. Some are actually very healthy, and the fat makes no difference to their level of health. No, not at all true. Where'd you get an idea like that? People can be HEAVY, yes, and people can LOOK bulky with a healthy body underneath- look at your average lumberja...

Do you really not see a difference between these three cases? One is basing a decision on an actual, personal factor of an individual that has actual, provable negative health consequences. One is an example of incredibly profitable corporations bilking its customers for extra money based on stereo...

VectorM I really can't reply to that post without being rude to you, sorry. Grow a pair. My decision not to respond to you is not one of cowardice, but rather respect for proper decorum on the forums. I'm not here for a pissing match, or a dick waving contest. I'm not even here to convert people to...

That's not even the worst example I've seen. There's a company in the UK, for example, that operates solely in minority heavy neighborhoods and operates with a standard APR of over FOUR THOUSAND PERCENT. If you borrowed 25 bucks from them you'd owe over a thousand in one year's time.

I think it's entirely fair to let fat people pay more for health insurance, to let men pay more for car insurance, to let poor people pay higher interest on loans. It's all based on statistics which should not be ignored. Do you really not see a difference between these three cases? One is basing a...

The only games where I ever really liked weapon degradation were Far Cry 2 and Fallout 3. In FC2, that was because I could see that it served an important function: it made it useful - in fact downright necessary - to purchase and use your own weapons instead of just grabbing whatever your enemies ...

Even if a stereotype is typically true (they DO tend to have some origin for being thought), you shouldn't expect them or live by them. Why would i not expect them to live by it, if it has turned out to be true so many times? Do you not expect things that have happened before to happen again? What ...
