![]() ![]() ![]() With only 10 bosses, I was worried Eldest Souls would be a light meal, but each one and their accompanying arenas are imbued with enough creativity to make every fight feel like the spectacle it needs to be. And thankfully it makes doing so a painless process, with quick respawn load times, and even choosing the “give up” option to take a breather only requiring a short walk back to the boss’ arena. ![]() I died 519 times to Eldest Souls’ bosses, but even when it spurred me to yell obscenities across the living room, I immediately wanted to hop back in for another try. The number of times I came within a millimeter of death, only to climb my way back with careful strikes, desperate healing, and mashing the square button made the victories even sweeter. That said, these fights are all impeccably balanced, threading a fine line between frustrating and devilishly tantalizing. But on a first playthrough, which took me about 15 hours overall, that focus on replayability means fighting some of the early bosses were slightly less enthralling without a wide array of abilities at my disposal. The story is designed to be played through multiple times, with a New Game Plus and Arena mode for those who want it. With such interesting tricks to try, it’s a bit of a shame that Eldest Souls can be stingy with its skill points at first. reward too, like a special attack that deals extra damage but also hurts you if you’re over 50% health, but heals if you’re under 50%. Infusing boss shards into different slots can prove to be an interesting game of risk vs. While fighting the feral Deer God, who attacks with lightning-fast swipes and poisonous roots, I instead respec’d to give myself increased speed to keep up with his great strides across the arena, while flaming leaves I spawned chased him down for guaranteed chipdamage. Those swords later shattered upon a successful counter, briefly tripling damage and providing me a moment of solace in the chaos. Going up against Hyem, a frostbitten armored warrior with the power to slow my dashing, I found myself suiting up with a defensive ability that spawned swords of light with each bloodburst attack. I loved this freedom because it consistently surprised me with what combinations were viable. Mercifully, you can completely respec your character any time between fights. Equippable “shards” gained from defeated bosses can also give you extra abilities or buffs depending on how you slot them for further customization. What results is a nearly nonstop dance of dodging and exchanging desperate blows.Ī skill tree lets you specialize your combat style between three branching options as you progress: Windslide, which focuses on movement and speed, Berserk, which improves your damage output, and Counter, which buffs your defensive options. To that end, Eldest Souls very much encourages an in-your-face play style, with charged and bloodburst attacks replenishing small fragments of health, much like Bloodborne. There are no enemies to fight outside of its 10 bosses, so you’re never more than a few hits from death. With your giant obsidian sword, you can use a basic swing, a dash, a charge attack, and a powerful “bloodburst” attack that drains your charge. Switching influences, Eldest Souls’ combat takes more inspiration from Bloodborne than it does Dark Souls, with a quicker pace and emphasis on aggression. ![]() ![]() ![]() After repairing the bridge and being set free from imprisonment, the town enlists them to help deal with the entrepreneurial Mr. They locked him up in a cage calling them a 'ghastly beast of legend', settling on imprisoning them until they agree to fix the town bridge, which they'd accidentally destroyed. After venturing to a nearby village, locals become terrified of Piku. ![]() The game begins with the protagonist, Piku, waking up from their slumber in a cave. Both of the players must cooperate to navigate themselves to a boat at the end of the level. The game also features a local cooperative mode with 9 levels, and the second player controlling Niku, an orange creature similar to Piku. Throughout the game, the player will encounter villages, where they can interact with villagers, and spend currency earned in the game's levels on items such as hats. Piku can also lasso their legs to swing from hooks or curl into a ball and roll, allowing the player to move around faster and reach higher or previously inaccessible areas. The majority of puzzles involve kicking and pushing objects onto switches to open doors and access rooms, allowing the player to proceed through the level. Pikuniku is a puzzle and adventure game where the player must control the protagonist, Piku, through levels and solve puzzles to progress. It received generally positive reviews from critics, with its main criticism being the short length of the game. The player controls the titular red creature, Piku, through a colorful world, to put an end to a plot to harvest the entirety of the land's resources. It was later released on Mafor Xbox One and on Februfor Stadia. Pikuniku is a puzzle adventure video game developed by French-British indie collective Sectordub and published by Devolver Digital, that was released on Janufor Linux, macOS, Nintendo Switch and Microsoft Windows. ![]() ![]() ![]() I messed around on the mobile gacha app for a bit and could not get into it at all.īut these were the only Star Ocean games I've ever played. Integrity and Faithlessness would be coming up just after The Last Hope. Revisiting the remaster for The Last Hope a few months ago, I would actually slot that in behind TTEOT having access to the Japanese voice acting was a strong game changer for me. Till the End of Time will never be dethroned for me as my favourite in the series. Generic mediocrity and a taut budget really damaged Integrity and Faithlessness, as a recent example. ![]() While it's never gotten that household name acclaim that some of its contemporaries have enjoyed, Star Ocean has always had a fair bit of recognition going for it in its own right within the scene, and they have all been solid games to me, though not without some clear flaws. But perhaps by that same token there is something to be said for playing to your strengths as well. Is developing more on an existing IP necessarily a terrible thing though? Certainly there is something to be said for "IP Fatigue", if I can frame it in that way I can see how appending more entries onto a single series might get a little old for some people. /r/GamePhysics - Clips of game physics shining and glitchingĭesign based on /r/FlatBlue created by /u/creesch./r/gaming4gamers - middle ground between purely-for-fun and more serious subreddits./r/GamingLeaksAndRumours - Leaks and Rumors.Posting unmarked spoilers will result in removal and warning, and posting spoilers with malicious intent will result in a ban.

If you have body repairs unlocked, you might as well repair all body parts for an even bigger profit. ![]() If not, a go with the welder and interior detailing will do it. If you manage to buy a car for less than its value, you’ll be 100% sure of a profit, but mostly you can afford to bid slightly over the value and still make a profit without even doing anything to the car – all you have to do is return home to the garage with the car and check if you have a profit in hand. Look for any cars that are 5-star condition, then bid on them after checking their real value. Then go to the auction house and visit the section for premium cars. Unlock the skill that allows you to predict the real value of any car. I usually also bring home most of the wrecks and sometimes keep one for myself, while the others get flipped.Ĥ. I visit the junkyard and buy absolutely everything that can be repaired, meticulously going through the piles from a to z. Personally I tend to hoard the repaired parts and only sell if I really need a cash injection – I once made over 100k in one single sale. ![]() With a good stack of 100% parts, you can then make a cheap car resto – engine blocks, gearboxes and engine heads tend to be the most expensive parts, so if you have all of these, you’ll be in a good position to make a nice profit. You can also choose to keep the parts you repair, either all parts, or just concentrate on a single car model. Return to your garage and fix them and sell for a good profit.ģ. Unlock the repair skills as soon as possible, the go to the junkyard and buy all the repairable spare parts you can afford. Then flip it and return to the junkyard for another haul.Ģ. Check if this is enough to earn a profit, if not, you can improve the condition a bit until you’re in the green. ![]() Get the welder, the car wash and save up 10.000 credits (just to be on the safe side), then visit the junkyard and buy a wreck or two, return to the garage, weld, wash and do interior detailing. ![]() ![]() Plus you need him hurling fire balls like almost from artillery distance, it can support if you get your manticore goons on archers without putting it in risk of missile fire because, tan tan tannnn, he can't take a whole lot of it. If any dragons or the leg wiz gets locked into an overwhelming melee, the manticores get sacrificed to retreat the leg wiz and his dragons. The manticores are cannon fodder cheap and easily available. If massive like what happened to me, my lord was attacked by 3 stacks of chaos elites. Then land the wizard with 2 wyverns and 2 manticores to hold. It can cast soells that buff up himself or allies and others like rust wich will affect a unit directly vs another which I can't recall than can reduce armor and melee in an area on the ground which is great to temporarily reinforce a thinning hole in your front, like the center for example can thin out, while you re-rout reinforcements. It's a great spell for nerfing those elite chaos tanking abominations. The wizard comes with a very versatile repertoire of soells that can turn the tide of the battle, from fire balls, to opening an insane tear that opens a void sucking in infantry in like Tony Montana xxxxxxx the xxxx. It can be in your lord's army, it can be paired with other flying units like wyverns and manticores. The legendary wizard to me is the better. ![]() Well, milk for the Khorne Flakes, I guess. So all in all, Dog wins it for me and it isn't even as close as I would have liked. Experience for all troops, meanwhile, is at least decently potent and universally useful. Just keep sacking a settlement or keep farming for rebellions. Wound recovery is only useful if your characters spend time being wounded. Quite amusingly, I also think level 2 for Dog is better than the others. The choice is between a chaos sorcerer (meh), random bursts of chaos corruption (okay'ish, but not that awesome), a non-configurable lord (meh), or probably the meanest piece of artillery in the game. The key, I think, is to look at the level 3 reward. Serpent: 1) 10% upkeep reduction, 2) Lord recruit rank +5, 3) Unique chaos sorcererĬrow: 1) Replenishment +20%, 2) Wound recovery -4, 3) Chaos plagueĮagle: 1) Research +20%, 2) Winds of Magic +20, 3) Unique lord that isn't particularly goodĭog: 1) 10% weapon strength for melee infantry, 2) +100 Exp per turn, 3) Unique RoR hellcannon This unit can hide in forests until enemy units get too close.Īrmoured units can block damage from any source apart from Armour-Piercing damage.The way I see it, Dog is definitely the way to go. This unit provides a Lord's aura and an encouraging unit will receive the larger of the two bonuses. Tyrants and Lords whose word is law ensure their troops will not run by issuing this dread order. ├ Man Entitywh_main_infantry_standard_large_hero_blood_dismembers ├ Melee Weaponwh_main_chs_sword_caster_lord_hero Land Unit Keywh_dlc01_nor_cha_chaos_sorcerer_lord_0 Main Unit Keywh_dlc01_nor_cha_chaos_sorcerer_lord_0 Before long, the aspirant feels his whole body and mind twist and alter, and as the gnawed remnants of his soul are finally devoured, he is plunged into the whirlpools of insanity, leaving behind nothing of the man who was. ![]() Many are the paths that lead to this ultimate fate, but most often, the Chaos Sorcerer seeks to expand his magical powers or harness more of the occult by simply bartering away another fraction of his soul, losing a little more of his humanity in the process. However, without the patience and wisdom that such study brings, a Chaos Sorcerer lacks due wariness and respect for the ultimate dangers of magic, and so begins an inexorable descent into deformity and madness. Where many of the world's Wizards, such as those taught by the Colleges of Magic in Altdorf, glean their arcane skill from long years of painstaking research, a Chaos Sorcerer's understanding of the Winds of Magic is instant and innate. They are amongst the most awful and depraved of all servants of Chaos, for they long ago sold their souls in exchange for the heady elixir of pure power. A word and a gesture from a Chaos Sorcerer can strip a man's flesh from his bones, force a lover to murder his beloved, or cause a regiment of soldiers to burst into flame. Chaos Sorcerers wield the wild energies of entropy itself, reshaping reality to better serve their whims and those of their dark masters. ![]() ![]() Those Champions of Chaos who seek mastery over the magical arts are known as Chaos Sorcerers, and they are madmen and malcontents all. ![]() ![]() Complex, person centred guanxi networks are formed out of these dyadic relationships. In its most basic form, I treat guanxi as a social connection between two individuals in which mutual obligation is created through the reciprocal exchange of gifts and favours. Guanxi refers to a set of behaviours that are both culturally and historically integrated into Chinese society. Guanxi is a concept that cannot easily be translated into the English language due to the broad spectrum of behaviours and connotations it implies. more Over the course of this thesis I give a holistic discussion of the Chinese concept of “guanxi” followed by an analysis of its presence in online communities. Over the course of this thesis I give a holistic discussion of the Chinese concept of “guanxi” f. Building on these results, we intend to carry out further studies investigating humans' ability to sense quantitative properties of VR simulations without haptic technology. The results suggest that an individual's capacity to detect differences in molecular flexibility is enhanced when they can interact with and manipulate the molecules, as opposed to merely observing the same interaction. Here we outline exploratory user studies designed to evaluate the extent to which participants can distinguish quantitative differences in the flexibility of VR-simulated molecular objects. The mechanisms for such 'feeling' are not entirely clear: observing from outside VR, one can see that there is nothing physical for participants to 'feel'. more During VR demos we have performed over last few years, many participants (in the absence of any haptic feedback) have commented on their perceived ability to 'feel' differences between simulated molecular objects.

Each directive affords us a game plan to realign and to regain mental clarity. Although Whitley’s therapy session scene was comical in nature, the charge to Relax, Relate, and Release can be applicable even during trying times such as these. One key piece of advice given to Whitney in that episode, which has subsequently reverberated throughout pop culture to this day, was to “Relax, Relate, and Release”. On one particular episode, one of the main characters, Whitley Gilbert, visits a therapist, played by Debbie Allen, to be counseled through her current conflicts. If you are anything like me, you hold an appreciation for the beloved 80’s sitcom, A Different World, which chronicles students’ lived experiences at fictitious HBCU, Hillman College. To personally combat fear and anxiety, I have been intentional about seeking uplifting and encouraging words to foster calmness and discerned it to be an opportune time to seek to offer a few to our Ebonies as well.

It was a major shift of security arrangements for the two countries after neighboring Russia launched its war on Ukraine in late February. Sweden and Finland applied in May, setting aside their longtime stance of military non-alignment. Finland is expected to exceed Nato’s 2% GDP defense spending target in 2022, and Sweden has committed to meet the 2% goal. ![]() US state and defense department officials consider the two countries net “security providers”, strengthening Nato’s defense posture in the Baltics in particular. We cannot do both,” Hawley said, calling his a “classic nationalist approach” to foreign policy. “We can do more in Europe … devote more resources, more firepower … or do what we need to do to deter Asia and China. Hawley took the Senate floor to call European security alliances a distraction from what he called the United States’ chief rival – China, not Russia.

If any senator is looking for a defensible excuse to vote no, I wish them good luck,” McConnell said. “Their accession will make Nato stronger and America more secure.
