Always cool seeing new plug types, never even seen that manufacturer before. In the world of camera and audio I am used to seeing fancy swiss made fischer or lemo connectors for small stuff.

This is neat. I've seen them used for like car related poo poo but super wrong so that the cords get all frayed and hosed up. What are they normally for, like data? I get the feeling that it wouldn't even be that it would be like "flap go up" signals or whatever, like real redundant no loving around poo poo.


typically they are used for electrical power, or major data buses and multi-plexing. The only really good thing about working on B-1s was the fact that it was one of the first aircraft to use heavy multi-plexing and not having to do constant wire maintenance is a really good thing. The plugs with super small pins are usually video lines though "video" could mean anything from the actual video display to the process of converting radar emissions to to little icons. It's all very "low-high-low" tech.

I liked W3 combat because I'd just use that big overhead attack or the spinning twirly dance then watch heads and arms fly around. I'm also one of the hyper nerds that played on death march painstakingly applying oils and reveling in potion crafting screens.

It is pretty unfortunate that TW3's potion/bomb/etc mechanics don't really matter until you hit death march, tbh. Even hard mode is easily dealt with using just swords and some signs.

Yes! Confirmed!

quote:

You Can Complete Cyberpunk 2077 Without Killing Anyone

Based on what we've seen since the game's unveiling, it looks like you'll encounter plenty of shady characters and will have the ability to take them out in a number of creative and deadly ways. But as we learned during a behind-closed-doors gameplay presentation at E3 2019, you can also get through the entire game without killing anyone at all.

While we only saw a little bit of stealth during the Netrunner portions, CDPR made it clear that you will be able to play the entire game peacefully if you so choose. You will be able to sneak, hack, and otherwise avoid combat scenarios, though it's not clear if there are situations where you have to fight if, say, things go terribly wrong and you fail to sneak around properly.

I'm excited

You're right there isn't a 4 :(

but looking up on the wiki I found this gem that basically explains why I love this movie, because it's fantasy

quote:

Roger Ebert gave the film three out of four stars and wrote, "The movie is smart and entertaining, then, as long as you don't take the computer stuff very seriously. I didn't. I took it approximately as seriously as the archeology in Indiana Jones"

They've talked up reactivity, some of it very impressive sounding, but it's unclear how that extends narratively.

They have confirmed multiple endings, though, for what it's worth.

Hopefully nothing as bad as that. Those bosses were outsourced and were so hamfistedly implemented that the developers later released a patch to fix them.

It takes a lot of effort to gently caress up bosses that badly.

For all the things I've seen about the game I just appreciate the amount of daytime footage. Like, pretty much every cyberpunk piece of media takes place exclusively at night and it makes sense I guess but this goes a long way to make it look like an actual real world.
