*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.

This is what my partner and I call a "state's right to what" problem. The centralized wealth says that centralizing wealth is good. Centralizing wealth is good for whom, Mr. Finance?

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.

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.

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.
