*Alien Resurrection. Alien Isolation is a recent title.

The two biggest complaints in the review seem pretty avoidable to me. The first is that they exploited a bug in combat and then were mad when that broke a quest.

Second is that they said that scaling was odd, with one computer (thickly entrenched 40k nerds are already mad with the use of the word computer instead of cogitator) in an area was an easy skill check to use and one in the adjacent area was difficult to use. That doesn't seem like a red flag to me, or at least, it doesn't seem like that in isolation.

So my take away is that some things will be mathematically harder than other things, and don't purposefully exploit bugs. I don't think this review has deterred me from buying.

Without spoilers, I will say it gave me two incorrect answers before I gave up. I think it's neat, but it didn't feel quite ready to me.

The Backpack Gambit paid off well!

Oh boy! The game we should have had at launch? I can't wait to get in my space ship, take off from a planet, fly to a new one, and land without being forced to fast travel.

Yeah, I was surprised to see Kongregate is still operational, much less had enough employees to announce layoffs.

Ooh I will be checking that out tonight. I could never get the whole package of "trap edge in kiosk mode for xcloud" working.

O fuk yah dude happy orktober! Nice build. It has a real 'ard Boyz vibe

The 3ds remake had MGS4 controls including third person shooting. I was surprised to see both crouch walking and first person "classic" aiming.

This is visually impressive but with what they're showing in gameplay, it doesn't look much like 4 or 5 like I think I expected? The aiming looks like it's the 2 and 3 style of stop, hold aim, move gun. That said, it also showed crouch walking which isn't in 3. I'm curious how similar or different it plays.

My big points to hit for a remake would be an improved camo and surgery system. The original game has you pressing start a lot. Like a lot. Having a quick menu for camo would be gigantic. Surgery right now is mostly, you're in a boss fight and got hit, now pause and see if you ran out of bandages yet.

I'm a practicing prosthetist in the US. Myoelectric hands are nothing really that new and even getting control over the hand by surgically dropping an emg directly into the muscle groups (though their diagram implies they did something different) isn't terribly groundbreaking. The FDA had that technology in animal testing right around the start of the pandemic, from what I remember talking to an engineer working on a project.

For me, the exciting part is the osseointegration through the forearm. Osseointegration has been going on since like the 90s, but for a long time it was only through the femur. The first reason is really that the West has way more lower limb than upper limb amputations which is a different story. The second reason is that the femur is a big bone with a lot of interior space for an implant to anchor.

Recently I've been seeing transtibial osseointegration surgeries being performed, which has been a pretty big deal. This is the first I've seen of it being done to a transradial.

I will definitely be reading more about this at work tomorrow.

The answer: a malicious contributor added hate speech to the Ukrainian translation. ISO will cover back up once they can go through all of the files and make sure there isn't any they didn't find at first.

The refund window on the upgrade cost is shorter than most people would probably like to see, but it's pretty reasonable since it does stretch back like six months from the CS2 release.

Still, doesn't solve that there are some number of CS:GO players who have been cut from the game overnight. Cutting support for DX9 and 32-bit systems was overdue, but it's still unfortunate.

The Internet will also tell you 80% is shit.

Yeah! That's the one!

I have seen a video of a shooting instructor who brought over a Japanese kid who did all his drills with airsoft and had never shot a real gun before. I'll go look for it and edit in the link if I find it.

Edit: Someone Else found it in a reply

and now we all see why it took two and a half years

There was a dodgeball game for the GBA I remember from when I was a kid that had a River City Rampage vibe. Dodgeball Academia plays more or less like that as its combat system.

The first half of the article walks through his credentials and I'm like, damn this guy really seems like a threat.

And then suddenly,

He is accused of creating a Microsoft Word document entitled "high level secrets".

Web searches show that he consulted several spying forums on social media app Reddit

Oh no nevermind he had no idea what he was doing.

So we shouldn't tax cigarettes then? It sounds like you've identified that addiction can quickly become a public health crisis if wealth inequality could cause addicts to choose their vice over food. We could fund programs to help addicts get help, but we would need to raise tax revenue.

We've seen it? Where have you seen it?

It's a stupid question because you obviously and constantly encounter communism or because your conviction is stronger than your argument?

Oh? And where do you experience communism?

No ash? That's smoking butane.

They're probably just wrapping a custom psx image in an emulator. Which makes sense if you've ever tried to run the official PC port from 2000. To say it's a broken mess doesn't quite cut it. Instead, I'll say the speed run is half the time of the psx record.

A crown prosecutor told the court the woman’s role in the plot was to obtain the drugs for Knudson to sell inside the prison, where a single strip of buprenorphine can fetch close to $1,000.

As said in the article, yes. Prison prices.

My partner and I left the apple ecosystem about a year ago. We got new phones and gave our old watches, airtags, and airpods to friends and family that wanted them. It felt like it was going to be too much to give up, but honestly it's been great.

There's so much more freedom in every facet of the phone. Apple likes to give an option, a rich people option, and occasionally a truly professional tier. Leaving Apple behind, I have wireless earbuds I love that have an 8hr lifespan out of the dock. They were fifty dollars and they sound easily better than airpods. It felt like it would be expensive to leave, but the alternatives once you leave the ecosystem tend to be cheaper pound for pound.

And some pretty well known recent indie games have been made in Godot, like Cassette Beasts.

Or Russ with Retro Game Corps

Always sad to see a big name go like this. I wonder if this will have any long-term ramifications for the future of Commander. Sheldon was always firm that Commander stay just a little outside the hand of Wizards.

Be careful what you wish for. We all really wanted Kingdom Hearts 3

Disney has been involved with video games since the late 80s. Recently they were involved with Disney Dreamlight Valley and the new Illusion Island.

Uh, yeah, sure about Diablo and whatever. But, uh, what the fuck is this

I'll forget I'm a hyper intelligent demigod for a moment and slum it with you mortals over this jovial exercise.

Kick Ass in Case of Emergency

relatable honestly

I also thought it was a fascinating read and wanted to comment, but your comment made me scroll down and now I don't even know what Linux is anymore.

From like 1904-1906 Upton Sinclair wrote The Jungle to show how the happily non-regulated meat market was running behind the scenes. The result was America saw a huge decline in red meat consumption. There's a moral standing at f not letting other humans be treated that way, but more to the point, people got a peek on how their meat was processed and packaged in terms of sanitation and food safety. The contents of the novel were confirmed by a third party investigation. It led to the passage of the Pure Food and Drug act in 1906, which laid the groundwork for the FDA a couple decades later.

So yes. The government absolutely should be involved in food. We've had them involved for the past, oh, century or so and it's why you can buy ground beef with the basic assumption that it won't make you sick.

I know that Mugen is just a word, but to me and a lot of other people, Mugen is the build your fighting game engine with a constant twitch stream that has Goku fighting and losing to Tetris brick.

I'd call Rock Slide a buff, probably. It's more correct to say it's a change or a rework, but it's not totally a nerf. Rock Slide used to cost 3 when you had Zabu, but Marvel Snap is built to not let you count on having "the card" in your deck every game. Certainly not a turn 2 Zabu every game. Rock Slide on 3 into Dark hawk on 4 is more consistent than ever. I'd call that a positive change for the deck. Some might start dropping Zabu. Probably not, but some might try it.

There's nothing about their description that really seems to link into Baldur's Gate at all. Unless they're saying that if you love Baldur's Gate 3, you'll love DnD. That's not groundbreaking information.
