We should have threshold that allows us to tell stuff to stop producing once resources hit a certain level, while also having auto exports stop if resources deep below a certain level. Also if it was setup only to unlock after a certain number of techs are researched, so that short sighted players can't easily whine about hosing themselves because they sold off a surplus that should have been kept. I'd be fine if we got paid 1/5 of what those cost to import. There should be the option to sell off resources that aren't rare metals. Make this structure use metal for maintenance. Maybe a structure that will randomly converts waste rock into metal, rare metals, polymers or fuel, this would keep Brazil's perk being good, but give everyone else an option to burn off waste rock. Turning it into atmosphere is only worthwhile until you hit a point where the drop outpaces losses and one wants to keep those structures at a minimum since they use machine parts. We only need so much concrete before that creates issues. Not everyone want to play Brazil every playthrough. Currently the chooses are either grab Brazil to turn it into something useful, research the means to turn it into concrete or turn it into atmospheric gases. Mohole should be adjust so that either metal production can be turned off completely or so the player has to choose between metals or rare metals. Also human resources get wonky, given that a ton of the automated stuff shows up after getting colonists and that extractors do run out. The other being that there is a point where the player is drowning in certain resources and in some cases that can bone you (worst offender is metal since you have to move it away from the Mohole in order for it to keep working and even an non-upgrade Mohole can result in silly things, like filling up afar away plains with metal depos. The two big offenders are that some resources fully deplete without a way to get them outside of things like the Mohole. On resources, the devs might want to revise how things work for them. Storage structure should be used sparingly since it uses machine parts, but those can be useful for tons of storage. polymer depos near the polymer factory & domes that have tons of art workshops. example, food depos near domes & outdoor farms. You only want to use dedicated depos near structures that regularly consume or produce resources on a large scale. I know some of the guides advise against universal depos but they are really useful for maintenance and relay points. Yeah, universal depos are great as relay depos or to setup next structures to hold resources for maintenance.

Whoever’s turn it is to guess who gave which answers pulls a card, picks which of the four questions on the card they want to use and reads that question aloud. Each person puts their name on their answer sheet. But we have modified it for a bigger crowd that is so much fun and unintimidating to people who don’t often play board games.įirst of all, we eliminate the board, using only the questions (and the answer sheets provided with the game). The object is to move along the board, correctly guessing who gave which answers to questions and being the first to answer the final question at the end of the board track. With over 500 questions in four different “fun” categories, Loaded Questions tests how well you know your fellow players or how well you can figure them out. The official game play says it’s suitable for 3 to 6 players and that would be true if you play the game as intended with the board and pieces. It’s called “Loaded Questions” and it’s a blast. To give a better example of how I understand a loaded question would be this: "do you think people should own guns?" With a response like so: "well, do you mean EVERYONE own a gun? Are these people trained, are some of them mentally ill? What kind of guns are we talking about and what people are we taking about?" The response would usually likely include the respondant as stating "thats a loaded question, because." Basically I feel like a loaded question is one that could incite a lot of different answers that perhaps the asker wasn't expecting.Many years ago I found a game that I purchased with the intent to gift to someone and ended up keeping for myself. I would give the example that it would be a loaded question because the child could respond in a number of ways, possibly in a controversial way. So using the first posters example of a parent asking a child "where were you last night?" I don't consider the parent as having an assumption behind their question. However, I understand a loaded question to be "loaded" on the answer side of things, not the question. So I agree with the explanations of leading questions. And they are always allowed when asking for basic information that does not support either side (such as, "your name is John Smith, right?" They are not allowed under "direct examination" (when interviewing a "friendly witness" who has been called to support the attorney's case).īut they are allowed under "cross examination" (where the witness has been called to court by the opposite side) and also when asked of "hostile witnesses" (a witness who might not have been called by the opposite side, but who is uncooperative in some way to the attorney's side). In the United States, this comes under Federal Rule of Evidence 611(c). This is because the question might manipulate the witness, or might influence the jury. In common-law jurisdictions, this kind of question is sometimes not allowed. "You ignored the stop sign, didn't you?" <- suggests the answer & supports the attorney's case. As others pointed out, a leading question is one which suggests an specific answer to support a case or defense, and in the legal context, it is also one which challenges someone's answer. In a legal context, there are rules about leading questions. Anti-Hero: She's somewhat more traditional in her heroism than Rhys, to begin with, planning on conning Hyperion on her last job, whereas he is a far more Nominal Hero who just wants to screw over Vasquez and get back to work. Fiona herself looks more ambiguously Asian at times, especially in the old Polaroid in Episode 1. Ambiguously Brown: By virtue of being Sasha's sister.Ambiguously Bi: She's shown to be affectionate towards Rhys and Scooter, even having the option to give the latter a Last Kiss before his Heroic Sacrifice, but depending on player-choice she can get rather adorably flustered when spending time with the openly lesbian Athena in Episode 3.After some training from Athena, she becomes good enough to the point that she can at least survive a fight with Brick and Mordecai, with Athena's help. Action Survivor: While she fares better than Rhys in combat situations, she's still more reliant on wits and luck compared to the typical Borderlands PC.She immediately regretted doing this and was as horrified as everyone else. Accidental Murder: She gouged out one of General Pollux's eyes and removed the other eyeball for a retinal scan under the belief that he had died, not knowing the guy was actually in suspended animation and could have been revived.With any luck, their newest con involving a Vault Key might just make them several million bucks richer.

If you’ve ever actively tried to lose weight, you know how important it is to track your progress. We believe that these signals broke something inside of Blake’s mind, which in turn forced him to begin seeing things. We believe, based on the documentation of the “Old Traveler” document, and others we’ve found, that this white light is the strong microwave signals mentioned in the document. After the bright white light causes the helicopter’s engines to fail, and the helicopter crashes, Blake begins to experience hallucinations surrounding Jessica and the events that led to her suicide. Why is Blake Losing It?Īt the very start of the game Blake is awakened from a nightmare about Jessica Gray, a girl that both her and Lynn knew in fourth grade at their catholic school. While this isn’t a massive connection line, it does draw some red flags that seem to indicate that Murkoff is somehow connected to the radio tower emitting the strong microwave signals to try to control people’s minds. In fact, the document even mentions Jenny Roland, or Jennifer Roland (as Outlast fans will know her), who was Murkoff Corp’s pathologist in the first game.įor those who don’t remember, Murkoff Corp is the company responsible for re-opening Mount Massive Asylum and experimenting on humans in the first game. The developers themselves have stated multiple times that the games aren’t connected in a big way, but a document that you find during your travels suggests that the games are more connected than we first thought.Īccording to a document called “Old Traveler”, the valley that surrounds Temple Gate is part of an experiment that uses strong microwave signals to control people’s minds. That being said, we’ll try our best to back out answers up with evidence from the game.įirst let’s take a look at how the first and second Outlast games are connected. Depending on who plays through the game, they may interpret these things differently. None of the answers we’re going to provide today are really cut and dry. How does Outlast 2 Connect with the First Game? What is happening in this backwoods town? Why is everyone so intent on killing Lynn’s baby, and why is Blake having all these weird hallucinations about his time back in grade-school?īefore we dive into all those questions, let’s start at the beginning. There are a lot of crazy things happening in Temple Gate, and as you make your way through Outlast 2, you’ve probably found yourself scratching your head at least once or twice-probably even more times than that. Obviously, spoilers will abound in the article below, so don’t scroll past this image if you don’t want the story spoiled. In this article we’ll discuss and explain the Outlast story, what is happening throughout the game, and even discuss why everyone seems to be losing their minds, including Blake. For the most part, the story is left up to the player to interpret in their own way, giving each player a different meaning for the events that take place. Red Barrels claims that the mode will feature fewer enemies with lower perception, so that players can spend more time digesting the world of Outlast 2 and less time running from baddies.Like the first Outlast game, Outlast 2’s story is mostly told through the use of documents and recordings. These changes are not drastic in our opinion and do not impact gameplay, but they had to be made to avoid an Adult Only rating.Īlongside the cut content, Outlast 2 is also getting a new story mode that promises to be more exploration-focused. We’ve also made tweaks to the pacing of the game to make more room for exploration, instead of chases.Īlso, we’ve taken the opportunity to reinsert some of the things we had to remove from the original game in order to get an M rating. It is still possible to die, but we’ve decreased the number of enemies and have lowered their speed, damage and perception. The new Story Mode of Outlast 2 allows players to experience the game with minimal challenges, fewer enemy encounters and more breathing room to fully immerse yourself in the universe. Moreover, the developer may have tweaked the content to fit the Mature rating, either by toning down the violence/language or re-animating some portions. Given how strict the ESRB can be with its ratings process, it is possible that Red Barrels simply doesn’t believe the cut content is too mature for the M-rated audience. Make it a habit to wash your feet every day, checking carefully for blisters, scrapes, cracks, corns, calluses, or tiny abrasions.

An expansion, Phantom Liberty, is set to release in 2023 on PC and ninth generation of video game consoles. By April 2022, the game had sold more than 18 million copies. CD Projekt became subject to investigations and class-action lawsuits for their perceived attempts at downplaying the severity of the technical problems before release these were ultimately cleared with a settlement of US$1.85 million. It was also widely criticized for bugs, particularly in the console versions, which suffered from performance problems Sony removed it from the PlayStation Store from December 2020 to June 2021 while CD Projekt rectified some of the problems. It received praise from critics for its narrative, setting, and graphics, although some of its gameplay elements received mixed responses, while its themes and representation of transgender characters received some criticism. The original score was led by Marcin Przybyłowicz, featuring the contributions of several licensed artists.Īfter years of anticipation, CD Projekt released Cyberpunk 2077 for PlayStation 4, Stadia, Windows, and Xbox One on 10 December 2020, followed by PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on 15 February 2022. Cyberpunk creator Mike Pondsmith was a consultant, and actor Keanu Reeves has a starring role. CD Projekt launched a new division in Wrocław, Poland, and partnered with Digital Scapes, Nvidia, QLOC, and Jali Research to aid the production. The game was developed using the REDengine 4 by a team of around 500 people, exceeding the number that worked on the studio's previous game The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (2015). The story follows V's struggle as he deals with a mysterious cybernetic implant that threatens to overwrite his body with the personality and memories of a deceased celebrity only perceived by V the two must work together if there is any hope to separate the two and save V's life. Players assume the first-person perspective of a customisable mercenary known as V, who can acquire skills in hacking and machinery with options for melee and ranged combat. The story takes place in Night City, an open world set in the Cyberpunk universe. Still, good sales won’t stop social media users from creating memes around Cyberpunk 2077, especially now that it’s easier than ever before.Cyberpunk 2077 is an action role-playing video game developed by CD Projekt Red and published by CD Projekt. That’s an incredibly impressive number, considering the abundance of negative press the game has received after launch. In fact, Cyberpunk 2077 has sold 13 million copies even despite all the refund requests that CD Projekt Red and other retailers are receiving. However, despite the game’s buggy and glitchy state, there are still plenty of players out there who are enjoying the game. That state of the game on last-generation consoles led to the current Cyberpunk 2077 refund debacle that is still ongoing, which spawned another CD Projekt Red apology statement. Especially on base last generation consoles like PS4 and Xbox One, the game runs poorly in most situations. Seeing as Cyberpunk 2077 is already rife for memes, another meme template with such ease of use is going to be a treat for social media users.įor those who may be out of the loop on this Cyberpunk 2077 situation, the big reason there are so many memes surrounding the game at the moment is largely due to the unstable state of the game at present. Thanks to this tool, creating CD Projekt Red apology memes is going to be 100 times easier, meaning users on Twitter will likely be seeing a lot more fake apologies in their feeds. After players have written out their desired message, all they need to do is save the message through the generator and it is theirs to use. Simply typing out the desired message will have the generator auto-format the message into a CD Projekt Red Cyberpunk 2077 apology statement. However, underneath that statement is a text box where users can write whatever message they see fit. Basically, the format uses CD Projekt Red’s recent refund statement as a base, using the iconic yellow background and black text and font to display the message. Their Cyberpunk 2077 apology generator is hosted on GitHub and is incredibly easy to use. The template itself was made by a Twitter user going by the handle Foone is a software and hardware engineer who has made other online generator-type projects in the past.

When people around her begin to die, she realizes she has stumbled onto something she is not meant to know, a terrifying secret from which there is no turning back. But when her young brother is struck down by a bizarre and mysterious illness, Renie swears to save him. Renie Sulaweyo, a teacher and the backbone of her family, proud of her African heritage, has fought all her life simply to get by. But every age has its heroes, and unusual times call for unusual champions. Fewer still are willing or able to take up the challenge of this perious and seductive realm. Only a few have become aware of the danger. And somehow, bit by bit, it is claiming the Earth's most valuable resource – its children. The best minds of two generations have labored to build it. Incredible amounts of money have been lavished on it. Shrouded by secrecy, it is home to the wildest dreams and darkest nightmares. This first volume in a memorizing story takes us to our own near-future when a global conspiracy at the highest levels threatens to sacrifice our Earth for the promise of a far more exclusive place – Otherland, a universe where any fantasy can be made real, but which is ruled by Earth's wealthiest and most ruthless power brokers, The Grail Brotherhood. Now he opens a whole new dimension of the imagination with OTHERLAND: City of Golden (Nov.The highly successful Tailchaser's Song and his magnificent, best-selling trilogy, Memory, Sorrow and Thorn, brought Tad Williams worldwide acclaim as a master of fantasy. Best of all, however, are Williams's well-drawn, sympathetic characters, including Renie and her family, her student !Xabbu, the mysterious invalid Mister Sellars and a host of other folk, all of whom hope to solve the mystery of the terrifying VR environment called Otherland. His version of the Net, although obviously indebted to Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash and other novels, is detailed and fascinating. His 21st-century South Africa, where blacks run the government and pursue careers but where whites control most economic power, rings true. In the first book in what is projected to be, in effect, a single, enormous four-volume novel, Williams (Memory, Sorrow and Thorn) proves himself as adept at writing science fiction as he is at writing fantasy. It's clear that Renie has angered someone with almost unlimited power, but she remains determined to save her brother. Then her apartment is fire-bombed, she loses her job and another professor whom she has recruited to help her decipher the mystery is murdered. After her adventure, she discovers that someone has downloaded into her computer the impossibly complex image of a fantastic golden city. A professor of computer science and an adept user of the Net, Renie retraces Stephen's trail and enters Mister J's but barely escapes with her own mind intact. Soon she discovers evidence that other children have lapsed into comas under similar circumstances. When his next Net trip leaves him in a coma, Renie is terrified and angry. When Renie Sulaweyo's younger brother, Stephen, returns from the Net after visiting Mister J's, a virtual reality equivalent of the Hellfire Club, she's worried about him. |
