That must be it! And if it isn't, it's better than the intended solution.

Playing the game for the second time right now... (playing on PC)
This game is great, I am sad it got so much bad rap.
The story is really really good. Like, a lot!
The city is huge and gorgeous, performance is great.
(Yes there are a few minor bug, but that's about it)
Only downside the story and important side quest all together is about 50 hours, other content is not really exciting, and playing the story again so fast, lose it's element of surprise and some of its appeal. Still I want to try some better build now that I understand the game better! ^_^

Nah. If it does not have big stompy robots that can step on a tank or walk through a building, I'm not so interested at the moment. I'm still in a more destructive phase.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Well... it doesn't have big stompy robots...
Though, in one mission, you get to drive an hover tank, does that count?!
|
|

Not really. Tanks are only a distraction for big stompy robots. A tactical itch that they must scratch without losing track of what the real opponents, the other side's big stompy robots, are up to. Actually that works best in a network game with real players because the AI pilots have the tactical sense of an average hamster.

Fighting hamsters from the sky
Some will live and some will die
Hamsters have nothing to fear
The fighting hamsters of Calontir
Silver tape upon their backs
A broadsword is all they lack
Fifty hamsters fight a war
They won't win without fifty more
Trained by jumping off a roof
Trained in combat tooth to tooth
Hamsters fight both far and near
The fighting hamsters of Calontir
Riding high upon our helms
Their war cry it overwhelms
All opponents become weak
At their fearsome squeaky squeak
Back at home Paval waits
His fighting hamster has met its fate
He has died while drinking beer
The fighting hamsters of Calontir
Once again its off to war
This time we number a dozen more
We will fight for those in need
so this year it's with Caid
Fighting hamsters jump from planes
Fighting hamsters fall like rain
Some will live but most will die
Stupid creatures cannot fly

You have obviously never served yourself, or you would know that a certain amount of disrespect and rivalry between units and the different branches of the organisation are part of the fun.

You are correct. I've never served in any military force, which is why I feel that I have no right to disrespect any serving or veteran soldier of a democratic country. After all, they are the first line of defense of our freedoms.
When I was younger, I served for a while as a volunteer in Israel's civil guard, which basically acts as extra pairs of eyes for the Police. While we were issued weapons while we were on duty and went through minimal weapons training (mine was an antique M1 (?), probably older than I was. If I ever were in a position that required me to actually fire it, I don't know who'd be more afraid - I or my target...  ), we were not trained as policemen, and had no powers of arrest.

Yes, I cannot agree with you more. I have already finished it twice on PC. Sincerely, I did not encounter a single bug (version 1.2). I have been dreaming of a game like this since like forever. I too cannot understand the negative comments and reviews. It is certainly my favorite game along with System Shock. I consider it a marvelous piece of engineering!

I played and finished the game with the 3 life paths; there was not much difference between them
It was fine, but gave me a sense that there were lot of things left unfinished
It's also very linear (chapters...), sections of the game world are closed at the beginning.
I've not played it since the latest patch.
I also wanted to save Evelyn Parker.

It must've come a long way since its initial release then. You know it must've been really bad when even mainstream news agencies were writing about a buggy game release.

Oh, I love that game. The NPCs are superbly written, especially Padre.

Glad someoene else like it!
My favorite fixer is Regina Jones! Because I like the way she tries to really help cyberpsycho!

When purveyors of VPNs claim that if you use a VPN, then big tech can't track you across the web?
Browser fingerprinting is the predominant way they track you and a VPN can't hide your browser fingerprint.
Look at a company like fingerprintjs.com.
They have brought fingerprinting to a new level.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

A possibly easier solution would be to have separate VMs, using one for general surfing, one for anything confidential, and others for any other type of surfing that you wish.
Using Linux for the guest O/Ses would mean that the whole setup would cost you little or nothing.
Best of all - checkpoint each VM before you start surfing, and then if you make an "oopsie" it's easy to reset the VM!

Yes, I have a Linux VM that is only used for paying bills.

If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Sorry to be in the slow group, but that does not compute for me.
