How did Caramel Marks & Steel Stallion die?

How did Caramel Marks & Steel Stallion die?

For the few who don't know, they're basically the founders of the main Communist ideology, the EaW versions of Karl Marx & Lenin.

We know by 1007 that they're dead, but how did they die?
Old age? Assassination? Spaceship accident trying to go to the one place not corrupted by capitalism?

Mane Six roles in Equestria Rework

The "THIS SUCKS! - Art By Plunger" post from u/userofthe_web01 has got me thinking what the Mane Six's roles will be in the Equestria Rework.

Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow Dash & Rarity I can see retaining their current roles.

Twilight = researcher/advisor.
Applejack = general/military role.
Rainbow Dash = air force ace pilot/air force officer chief high command position.
Rarity = army clothes designer.

But what of Pinkie & Fluttershy?

I really hope Flutters isn't still the nuclear research scientist. I get that's meant as a reference to Fallout Equestria, but from a logical stand point, it make no sense. It be like having Charlie Chaplin take Oppenheimer's position at Los Alamos developing the nuclear bombs, makes no sense.

Fluttershy would be better at either caring for injured war veterans, or running an anti-war propaganda campaign against the enemy country, especially if it's a defensive war.

Pinkie Pie, being a party pony, shouldn't be in the fighting. I know she is in current EaW thanks to that MLP episode where Starlight messes with time & we see Pinkie as a soldier fighting Sombra's army; also Rainbow Dash has a cybernetic wing, I hope that's being taken out as well.

Pinkie would work better away from the front, boosting morale at home, keeping Equestria's spirits high.

To be clear, I'm not demanding these be implemented, merely asking what the Mane Six's roles will be in the reworked Equestria.

Nuclear strike cancelled due to lack of nukes, even though I have 1

The nuke I have was given in the choice during the Nuclear Fission Bomb Project, where you either test it or add it to your arsenal.

I believe the issue is that the game needs the NFB Project to be completed to register that I have nukes & I can use them; or is that I need nuke production to be underway for it to acknowledge that I have nukes & can use them.

One of those, but this is an annoying bug, like what's the point of the choice to add it to your stockpile if you can't bloody use it?

Enemy Aces Not Dying

This is the third time I've gotten this pop-up.

Playing as Jezabzella lead Colthaginian Republic, at war with Phalangist Aris; their airpower far exceeds my own, but I'm managing okay.

Is this a bug or does the Crack Lightning lead Hippogriffia not lose Ace Pilots due to him being "The Ace"?

Anyone else think experience gain needs to be changed in some way?

4 Submarines Convoy Raiding in an ocean where there's no convoys are gaining 0.406 experience a day, whereas over half of my army, 42 000 soldiers, in active combat are only gaining 0.050 experience a day.

Anyone else think the experience gain needs to be changed?

Underground World Beneath Zebhara - just a random idea I got from Jack's last post

Going off of Jack's latest meme post about the Zebharan Defence Committee, thought came to me that I've chosen to share: a subterranean world beneath the Zebhara.

I'm thinking like giant caverns & huge tunnels between them, connecting them, with smaller tunnels & smaller caverns all around. Not made by diamond dogs or hyenas, could be natural, or the remnants of a lost civilisation.

What lives down in these caverns, what's actually in these caverns, be it cities, lush forest or thick jungle... I'ma leave for ya'll to discuss about, just for fun.

Recent Skyrim Update Gonna Damage Anything With Skyblivion?

Or is the damage minimal enough that we're still looking at a possible release this year?

Sorry if this is a silly question, you just never know with these kinds of things.

Thanks!

It may actually be tomorrow

Steam Frame comes out on a Friday, that Friday is the twenty-fourth of the month.

That's 3 Fs, the Steam Frame is the third Steam Hardware product.

It's gonna be tomorrow!

The Three Reactions to the Frame's Release

Yeah, I'm using 2008 meme faces in 2026. Rule 11 does say this must include effort, after all.

Edit: Should probably point out the Frame is not released! This is just a dumb framepost depicting three reactions of when it is released.

Relaxing VR Games?

A lot of VR games are obvious intense movement focused fighting games, but are there any that you would call chill or relaxing, light on combat & with easy to solve puzzles? Something to soothe your mind against everything?

Only three games I've found so far that I'd call relaxing: Paper Beast, Realms of Flow & The Last Frame.

^(Yes, there is literally a VR game titled) ^(The Last Frame.) ^(Shocker, I know. There's also another VR game titled The Last Frame, but it's made with AI, so it doesn't exist.)

Anyone else know of any VR games that don't require hard thinking or intensive movement for you to just unwind with?
Thanks!

Edit: VR Minecraft as well can be relaxing, provided you play on Peaceful.

Anyone Else Notice The Foreshadowing With The Pristine Blade?

Depending on whether or not we take the Pristine Blade, there'll be a different call from the Princess.

If we don't take the Blade, she says "Hello? Is someone there?" in a soft and sweet voice.

If we do take the Blade, she says "Who's there?" in a more confident voice, sounding, as the Hero puts it, like she's the one in control here.

But... how does she know we have the Pristine Blade?

She can't see us or it, all she knows is someone's entered the basement. Any normal person, or princess, wouldn't be able to know if we have the Blade, but the different dialogues shows that she does know we're holding a Blade.

This, I believe, is the first sign that the Princess isn't normal, a small foreshadowing of her true nature as a >!shifting mound that alternates based on your choices!<.

Just a neat little detail I came to realise. Anyone else thought this as well?

Getting the Steam Frame, whenever it's released, will be euphoric

Warning: long post.

This isn't the first time I've waited for something I've wanted. In fact, you'd be lying if you said you've never waited for something so much before the Frame. We all have. Be it toys as children, games as teenagers or VR headsets as adults; or any other combination.

I waited 3 years for the Fallout London mod. When it finally released & I finally got it installed & working, the feeling of seeing it's actual main menu on my screen felt like Christmas! I felt like a kid again, going downstairs to the tree and seeing what I got & getting something incredible.

It's an amazing feeling that you only experience a handful of times in your life, that's the kind of feeling we'll all have when our Frame arrives, provided of course it's affordable for you; I'm not religious, but I pray it is.

This post is sort of an attempt by me, likely a poor one, to uplift everyone's spirits, to return you to a time when you waited & waited & waited for something & then it finally arrived & you got that indescribable feeling of joy & happiness at its arrival.

Actually, I'm gonna ask what that was for you: what did you wait for so much that when it finally arrived you couldn't stop smiling like a happy child?

For those who have lost hope & are just checking the sub every hour, like I do, for any news of the Frame, focus on something else whilst you wait. Play a game that you love, read a book, watch a new movie or tv show, go on a walk, eat out a restaurant & have a dish you've never had. There's more to this short life than an unreleased VR headset, don't let it put you down.

I hope this post is okay, moderators. I know it doesn't meet any of the rules & if you want to remove it, that's fine. I only wanted to bring some hope to the hopeless & if I have, then I've done my job.

Quick Question: What are Package Updates?

Seen many posts about them, but what actually are they?

Just software updates or something else?

u/Dr_Virus_129 — 3 months ago

There could be news right now. Maybe now there's news. How about now. Right now, there might be news. Perhaps now.

Not gonna deny it, I've been checking this sub almost every hour for the last... I don't know, 7 months maybe, for anything about the Frame.

Even when I try to stop, the possibility of there being a post with any news, leaks or anything calls me back, even though I fully know I don't need to because, well, when the Frame's out we're all gonna bloody notice it on Steam, aren't we?

It's an addiction that can only be fixed with the Frame. I need it soon, I need it tomorrow.

Is this the Teacher's outfit in the Thin Man's train chase?

The shirt & skirt definitely match hers.

I'm not saying there's some deep theory here, it could just be Tarsier reusing assets, but what do ya'll think?
