Re: Unofficial Unauthorized Descent 2 Texture Patch (UUD2TP)
If you want a patcher, look up a command line utility called xdelta. If you bundle it with some pre-set command line scripts that run through the sequence you can get away with just patching.

Re: Going Rambo on D1 level 6 (And other levels)
Maybe, but not only was fusion less powerful, but most of the d2 robots had more hp too, so even 60 power fusion isn't as dominating as it was in d1.

It is easy to get major performance upgrades in drivers when the driver quality is complete garbage to begin with.

Re: Mainstream media are reliable, FOX news is the bad guy?
Attacking the mainstream media also makes it easier to poison the well of information and get away with evil. Which is why the first step towards destabilizing or overthrowing a country in order to install a dictatorship involves attacking and then shutting down the free press.

Yeah, we regularly treat all the working parts of the blower with ceramic coating spray. It is an inexpensive but more durable automotive hydrophobic coating, lasts longer than an oil or lube spray. Think like Rain-X but for an entire vehicle.

7% may as well be 700%, if all the conservative media silos cover are the violence then they are all violent in their minds. Just like how Tucker Carlson cut and edited the footage to portray January 6th as orderly and peaceful which immediately became their unquestioned reality.

Lots of people in other countries have mental health issues but for some reason those countries don't have 1 or more mass shootings every day. Even if you add all those other countries together they still don't have anywhere near as many mass shootings.
