And oddly, it also seems like handheld dipped into near-nothingness even sooner than arcades (perhaps due to things like the Switch and the Steam Deck merging the former field into PCs and consoles, I guess?). How common were arcades when the original version of the Nintendo Switch came out (2017-ish)?

Is it already out? Or did the store page update prior to release?

I am especially bad about the “clenched jaw” part, so thanks much for the reminder

It honestly reminds me of some statistics implying that deaths due to violence may be overrepresented in media perception, while deaths due to cancers and heart problems are seemingly underrepresented in coverage by comparison.

Yeah, probably less “revenge” in a human sense, and more “treating a tiger that badly drives you way up on the tiger’s ‘prey priority list’”

[–] JoshuaSlowpoke777 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Fair, and what I had in mind was a case of an actual tiger that got severely wounded by a human, with said human stealing its food, and the tiger responding by killing said human (and maybe his dog), but not before camping out at his lodging and waiting for him to return there. Almost like vengeful stalking behavior in particularly creepy humans, but probably a lot more mentally simple for the tiger.

So yeah, I could see spite being a better description.

I was talking about Sinnoh/Hisui, but the other region I was thinking of was Kitikami (from Scarlet/Violet’s Teal Mask DLC), as white-stripe Basculin seem to show up in the latter’s waterways.

But yeah, migrations between Hisui and Johto might still have happened, considering that Sinnoh still has Sneasel in the modern day, but only the Johtonian subspecies.

Mostly asking because this appears to have happened in a fictional world’s ecology (Pokemon, oddly enough), and I have no idea if the concept has any basis in reality.

(In Pokemon, some subspecies seem to have gone extinct in their equivalent of Hokkaido, but some remained extant in the prefecture/region just to the south in-universe)

And in IRL taxonomy, they’re more closely related to animals than plants, but probably diverged long before sponges came about, let alone other animals.

I meant intent to consume, as a sort of mental byproduct of which species of gut bacteria exist in a given person.

[–] JoshuaSlowpoke777 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was essentially asking whether any neurological influences from those species in your gut would cause more consumption of dairy in general, or just yogurt, or neither

So, a certain edutainment manga/anime (Cells at Work) initially depicted eosinophils as “kinda sucking at fighting things that aren’t parasites, but excelling at flatlining parasites”. How did we go from that interpretation, to recent papers on COVID patients turning up with oddly high eosinophil counts?

 

spoilerSo it’s possible to quickhack the cops that try to ambush you during this quest. Part of me still want to physically Elmer-glue their kiroshis to TV screens and forcibly educate them on the difference between Raffen Shivs and Aldecaldos rather than kill them, but at least they’re easier for pure Netrunner builds to wipe.

 

A YouTube guide explaining how the feeding preference system for builds is a spectrum rather than a hard-and-fast rule (from CasualGeographic) claimed that most true herbivore builds rely on the “facultative herbivory” preference. One of the few examples of the “obligate herbivory” preference given in the video are sloths.

Is mandatory herbivory on the way out, meta-wise? (Given how city biomes seem to reward opportunism and smarts, I guess it would make sense)

 

Despite my attempts to be stealthy, I tend to be spotted at some point anyway

 

I put 20/20/20 into intelligence, technical, and body. Now I’m getting attribute points I could put either into cool or reflexes. Which of those last two would be more useful for a netrunner (especially one that relies quite heavily on Overclock, and may occasionally use tech or smart weapons)?

 

When a certain character in the game dies because they’re still loaded into the Net at the moment when someone disconnects the jack, it kinda reminds me of IRL USB devices, where failing to dismount/eject them on the computer before physically removing them can cause problems, especially for the USB device. It almost feels like bait for a dark joke.

What are some other touches of bizarre realism in the electronics of Cyberpunk?

 

I can stare at one of a building’s security cameras from across the street like a creepy ghost child, and then the entire camera system stares at the people inside and sets them on fire, one by one. It’s like something out of a horror movie

So if you encounter and are hailed by a “Faraday’s Budget Tours” ship in orbit, a rather exasperated captain will ask you to help them by answering their passengers’ questions about life as a space captain. The last passenger asks the player if they “have someone in every port”, and if the player’s active companion is one of the main Constellation members, they may chime in to tease you just before you answer. Or at least Sarah does, because I have yet to see what the others say if they are an active companion

Anyone know what the other Constellation companions say during this random encounter, if anything?

 

So, on a thread on the bug on “the website that shall not be named”, someone found some quest IDs that, through console commands, could (at least temporarily) somewhat stop the effects of the bug.

Just in case that website were to somehow go down permanently tomorrow, I’m documenting these exact console commands here for redundancy’s sake.

completequest 2c0fd9 completequest 98b4e resetquest 2c0fd9 resetquest 98b4e setstage 2c0fd9 10 setstage 98b4e 10

When used in this exact order, I and others started encountering hostile NPCs onboard boarded ships again.

Credit goes to user Otherwise_Distance92 on the aforementioned “site that shall not be named”.

Edit: had to correct the quest IDs because some “b’s” went missing while transferring text from my iOS photo library. Whoops

 

Or does the inventory menu only take base damage (given the mods of the weapon itself) into account?

 

spoilertitleThe naming themes here almost seem all over the place, or maybe I don’t know about a couple of the inspirations. Some are named after scientists (or perhaps the units of measure named after some of these), but the moons of Arachna are named “Itsy,” “Bitsy,” and hilariously, “Worthless.” I also have no idea where the names of Nascent and its moons come from.

Any idea how some of these planets and moons got their names in Delta Pavonis?

 

Am I better off carrying one melee weapon or investing in stagger resistance perks to fight off melee attackers? As it stands, I often have to either shoot melee attackers before they reach me or beat them back with a Va’Ruun Painblade because they probably won’t give me enough time to reload my shotgun.

 

Behold, my new ship, built completely from scratch, designed to rival arguably the best default ship in the game (you could get the latter as a quest reward), but almost entirely using Nova Galactic parts. …Granted, it’s not nearly done yet, because it needs a buttload more engines, more weapons, and everything needs to be upgraded. But it’s got a bunch of amenities and about as much cargo as the aforementioned quest reward ship!

Note: Since taking this photo, I replaced the White Dwarf engine with another Supernova engine.
