*Alien Resurrection. Alien Isolation is a recent title.

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.

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.

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.

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 implementation is through The Magic Mirror, which is the same thing Divinity: Original Sin 2, their previous game used. So probably less inspired by Starfield.

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.

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.

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.

To be fair, Bethesda games are a fucking train wreck at launch so this is like an article saying this is the dryest water they’ve ever made.

It looks interesting, but I don’t like that they’re saying it’s going to be a new game. I don’t want to spend another $40 on what amounts to a new game mode. Fundamentally different new game mode, but new game mode.

It’s faithful enough to 5e that my partner and I broke out the players handbook to do some long term class planning together. A couple of things are different, like buffs to frenzy barbarian and changes to roleplay feats or spells to have a more mechanical benefit.

But yes, as a long term DM for 5e, it’s faithful to 5e.

Well think of the ROI for horse armor. One new model. How many sales do you need before you cover that cost?
