Speaking of cyberpunk, think all his random kids are just bodies he's sure he can download his brain into when he gets old? ๐Ÿค”

I like this idea. I don't know how modern cognitive science corroborates the idea or not.

But just to tuck this away in the thread, not to derail it: I think the point of the text in the image is much simpler, as the last response is meant to make us understand. The real "first thought" is "I'm a bad person." After some reflection and careful analysis, the poster comes around to, "I'm just a teensy bit hypocritical."

We can forgive ourselves for knee-jerk reactions if we put effort into not letting them poison our relationships with the world and other people. I have no idea if that should apply to Mel Gibson.

I also think this is the "Hippie Trail" referenced in Down Under by Colin Hay / Men at Work.

I can certainly understand not liking it. Besides it's offensive social takes, it's definitely not what a typical Resident Evil game is supposed to be. But a buddy and I spent years trying to find good coop game experiences and as far as games that actually sculpt and tend to the coop part as opposed to just throwing a coop mode in at the last moment, very few come anywhere close to the effort to put into this one. On harder difficulties it's actually a really interesting challenge that's not just about bullet sponges or grinding for better gear but about strategy and effective teamwork.

If you can get past its extremely questionable social issues, I've never played a co-op combat game as well designed and implemented as resident evil 5. It forces you to work together in a variety of challenges and unexpected ways. It keeps you both focused on mutual goals. And if you don't work together with situational awareness and effective communication, you will not succeed. I really wish it sold better because I've never seen a company since put as much effort into co-op design except maybe the "it takes two" and "a way out" guy. But those aren't shooters.

Her face in that pic says you did. I wish you and your family healing and good memories as soon as you feel ready.

A number of companies make "tuned" ear plugs to allow some sound through with a desired frequency curve, but reduce SPL to safe levels. I've used Etymotic, which sound great but I personally like a little more reduction. Alpine which I thought had enough reduction but too much coloring, and I settled on Earpeace, for like $25 on-line. Silicone, re-usable and easy to clean and they come with three filters to swap in or out depending on your needs / tastes.

Because they're not magically taking away his stock shares. If Tesla succeeds so does Musk, no matter what position he holds. Nothing changes when oligarchs who will happily take food out of children's mouths to enrich themselves and send US citizen children with Cancer away never suffer any consequences.

And that's BEFORE we talk about the fact that Tesla cars suck ass now compared to similar segments from competitors. They're a net negative in the industry and in their influence on humanity. EVs are going to continue to take up more market share worldwide without them.

I think you must be right. I thought he was a juvenile or adolescent Blue, but looking at the identifier now, I think you got it.

This statement is the poster child for why letting individuals use their own judgement on scientific data is such a crap idea.

*Changed medical matters to scientific data.

 

If I'm late to the party on this, my apologies. I just got the game because it's cheaper with PSPremium. It's awfully close to the VR Astrobot we hoped we would get. I've played about 3-4 hours and am on the second "world", and so far it's an absolute blast. If you played the original Astrobot Rescue for PSVR1 it's very similar. I don't want to go on too long, but here is a short list of pros and cons:

Pros:

*They add a few Mario-like mechanics with hidden blocks and overworld maps. *They add direct participation in the environment from the player a bit like Moss for some levels and it's great *Some score attack mini-games based on game mechanics

  • Movement and jump physics feel very smooth and intuitive

Cons:

  • The graphics and art are great but not quite the level of an Astrobot or Mario
  • They don't really develop the additional mechanics much or make make them integral to the gameplay
  • The difficulty is generally lower than a Mario, maybe a hair lower than Astrobot, but it has some strange ups and downs mid-game that make some parts feel too easy and others feel strangely frustrating. (This is minor, but it does pop-up from time to time.)

If you liked Astrobot VR this will definitely be a good choice for you, and over-all I think it's one of the better titles available on PSVR2 currently. I hope that's helpful information.

 

"Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii was revealed earlier today, setting up the bizarre story of fan-favorite Goro Majima donning buccaneer cosplay and sailing the high seas. In the wake of the announcement, people are suddenly starting to remember that an accurate outline of the entire game actually leaked months ago - it was just so ridiculous nobody believed it was true."

I also got several with internal reflections between the filter and the lens. Thought it was kind of cool.
