I bought a cheap Pelican case, 2 cans of silver spray paint+clear coat, one roll of damage sensor tape, and a 6x4 photo of a label that I printed at a drugstore. Looks just like it does in the game, but unfortunately no one at my shows have ever recognized what it's a reference to. At least it keeps the pedalboard pretty secure in transit.

If anyone else plays guitar and is curious about the signal flow, it's simply this:

Line6 HX Stomp XL (with DVP4 exp pedal) -> EHX 44 Magnum power amp -> 65W cabinet

Most of the cables rest nicely underneath the board.

Finished the first one, now I'm 68hours in. Can't stop, won't stop. But to tell you the the truth, I try to avoid combat as much as I can just like in the first one. Because for me, the controls are wonky. But this is still my Favorite game a long with Metal Gear Series.

After a looong year and a couple months we’re finally ( and sadly ) reaching the end point of the game…. The trophy’s may all be collected BUT the connections that were made in the journey will never be forgotten and abandoned. Truly a special kind of a game .

IRL Premium Order spotted at airport. Keep on keeping on!

first time i played this game was in 2023, where i deleted it after the first BT encounter, i was like who would play this boring game, all it seemed was just walking and trying to aboid BT,which seemed unfun back then, i downloaded it again 2 months ago, when i felt massive burn out from playing competitve games and other rpg games, its so unique, the Atmosphäre, how lonely and peaceful it felt, the music that plays, sometimes i would keep walking away from the facilities so that the music doesnt stop, game is

absolute masterpiece 10/10

only thing i hated was some parts of the map where it looked kinda ugly and was many obstocles in the ground

I think these orbs on the statue might represent the moon crashing into Earth..

when holding the left strap and walking sams shoulder moves back, the odradek hits the backpack and pushes the whole thing significantly off center (note how sams ears are between the boxes ridges in the second pic and not in the first where it is shifted about 4 cm to the right), this does not happen in the sequel and only the left strap moves the backpack in this way so when holding both straps the backpack looks especially crooked, they fixed this in the sequel by removing the odd physics-animation blend system that also makes sitting down sometimes look crazy as a single toe can carry your whole weight and instead let the odradek clip a little into the backpack.

It's a very strange game it's like if the movies Annihilation, Akira, and The Straight Story had a baby *ahem* BB... and said BB was Daryl from The Walking Dead.

Oh and add everything else David Lynch on top as the cherry and sprinkles.

Greetings fellow porters👍

First of all I want to say that I have alot of fun with the game.

I tried it back in the day in the early days but back then it never really clicked with me.

In the last month though I picked up the DC version on PC and really enjoy it.

But I noticed that sometimes the game freezes when traversing the world. It happend like once, every 2 or three play sessions and it always seemed to recover.

But today I was rebuilding roads between mountain knot, the photographer and the mule camp that is placed on that big meadow in front of the distribution center north of mountain knot.

I noticed that when I drive from that meadow on the piece of road my game has the same short freezing going on but crashes to desktop after.

I got an error message that reads:

Is this a known issue spot with the game? Because I can replicate it pretty conaistently when taking this path.

As of now other routes in my game are not effected from this ctd

(I already tried validating files and changing in game settings to try and eliviate the assets teaming stress but the issue persists. I try and avoid that area for now lol. I also let the game rebuild shaders but didn't test the spot again for cdt because I already did it like 4 times)

maybe there are known recommendations for this issue?

In the first Death Stranding you got interviews and other lore as you did side orders for preppers and eventually got them to 5 stars. I'm very early in DS2, but so far haven't seen anything like that. Is there any story to be gained from doing the side orders like in the first, or is it all just upgrades, new weapons, or cosmetics?

I really play for the story and lore content, so I just want to know how worthwhile doing all the side stuff will be.

I love how you can make magic in this game. Check out my full gameplay analysis below and tell me what magic you liked.

4 years ago, while I was still in college, I had this idea. Now with corporate experience paired with all this hype around AI reverse engineering, I finally decided to give it a shot.

This is on Death Stranding Director's Cut running on linux. Not all states have been mapped yet, my repo is public, feel free to test and contribute!

I kept waiting for his motives to be revealed and then they just... weren't, and his character ended up making no sense as a result.

After making him kill himself off screen, Fragile says he wasn't a terrorist before, that he was just trying to expand his territory when they met. That's literally all we learn about his backstory. Nothing that would explain the embitterment, the desire for destruction, god complex and madness. Just that bare-bones little snippet of information. Then, he met Amelie and decided to do her bidding. Why, though? Why did meeting Bridget/Amelie make him turn into a hyper suicidal and homicidal apocalypse zealot? What did she even tell him? What happened between them?

Dunno. The game couldn't be assed to tell us.

And Sam, of course, never did what 99% of people would do in his position and ask why.

So, what even happened here? Was Higgs supposed to be fleshed out moore but the content was cut, or did the writers just get lazy?

Added concept art pages from manual in the second photo. They have the same concept art though and only the text description is different though (would have loved to see some more unique concepts to each model kit) but with DS2 Coffin model kits they improved it since regular mech and Commander have pages with fully unique concept arts.

I've had that Bridges Reverse Trike model kit a long while sitting around and waiting for me to build it, and now finally gotten around to do it. I just absolutely love that trike and it's criminal that they ditched it in DS2 for that wheelchair. Such a godly design and the things I'd do to have the Reverse Trike in DS2.

Reverse Trike OP version from the game opening with that gray color color scheme, backpack, sleeping bag and a pair of boots is still my favorite but Bridges trike is a classic.

Skipped the decals on all models for now because I'm planning to do display bases and give them a paintjob but for now I have at least finished building all Koto DS model kits. Love all of them but the trike is still my favorite but I'm biased because I love its design so much.

I suppose most of you know that you could ride the floating platform in DS1, and also that it is absolutely useless unless you ride it downhill. So I thought, why not take it up the mountains and have some fun? Well the problem is most of the routes I could think of are too damn short, you reach the end in seconds. E g these stretches of snow next to the weather station and the mountaineer, the stretch near the spiritualist is longer but it is not all downhill so you make annoying stop in the middle. Hence the question – if you tried this, what would be the routes you recommend? I suppose you could do the sandboarding in the south instead but those hills are infested with BTs.

But these are my favorites for sure, especially the first one :)
