the number of specialists named as having been part o' a Presidential medical review is strawman. our recollection is that george w. bush (is literal the only President other than kennedy am having searched... and the kennedy doctors lied about his addison's and drug use, so take that for what it is worth,) had more than a dozen listed specialists examine him and he took any number o' tests during his time as President including a head ears nose and throat exam, a chest x-ray and an ekg, but nothing particularly noteworthy. no MoCA. no multiple mri. if george w bush had been subjected to multiple PET scans or a doctor felt a MoCA was warranted, that woulda' been big news. for gawd's sake, bush had some benign colon polyps removed and 'cause he were incapacitated during the procedure, **** cheney were the temp chief executive. the polyp removal procedure were relative trivial, but 'cause it were Presidential polyps, the news were front page. but for some reason, trump getting tested for dementia deserves a hand wave from zor? ok. yeah, instead o' a general practitioner reviewing basic test numbers as would happen for joe the plumber, the doctors reviewing joe the President tests is gonna be specialists, but that fact is not actual relevant to the significance o' a doctor determining a MoCA were warranted. again, not helping your position. uh... what? the real sequence of events is worth a review. first reports o' trump taking the test is from 2018 and he were bragging 'bout his results before anybody knew biden would be his opponent in a Presidential election. am not recollecting any trump mention o' biden contemporaneous with the 2018 MoCA test, so maybe the explanation you see as clear is a bit more muddy, eh? trump figured that he might be running against an old guy in 2020, so in january o' 2018 he takes a dementia test? ... well, ok then. are you sharing your father's situation as some kinda rebuttal of the observation that the test itself is not dispositive? that wouldn't make much sense, would it? is gonna be a host o' factors involved, including the chat with the specialist you casually reference and again, whatever circumstances prompted the doctor to suggest your father should take the test in the first place, no? Gromnir's father had experienced a TIA and during conversations with doctors, he seemed impaired. taking the MoCA were not just some kinda rando checkup event. am not sure why this needs repetition, but the fact a doctor believed Gromnir's father should have a dementia test were concerning. even our father were recognizing the seriousness o' the situation. am not aware o' your father's circumstances, but given the results o' the doctor exam as you describe, am suspecting there were reasons why the doctor administered the test in the first place. by now am able to tell when you are arguing for the sake o' arguing no matter how weak is the position you choose to take. HA! Good Fun!

14 specialists examined Trump in 2025, and 20 (!) examined Biden in 2024. That is far beyond a 'comprehensive physical' already. Maybe, if your surname was Bezos/ Musk/ Ellison. Maybe. Drawing conclusions from mislabeling a cognition test is at very very best tenuous. Trump boasting of passing an 'intelligence test' for a cognitive test is absolutely par for the course with his behaviour since forever. Not just in getting what it was wrong (ie thinking he's highly intelligent and this proves it, as a narcissist that is absolute par for the course) but also because he's getting back at his predecessor since Biden infamously didn't take one in 2024 when prompted to; and Trump is very much about being 'better' than Biden (and Obama). The answer to the question of "why did doctors feel it were prudent to have trump take the MoCA?" is pretty clearly explained by him having demanded Biden take one, and that is actually a pretty good reason for taking it. (I know perfectly well what cognitive tests are as my dad has dementia and I too sat in a room while one was administered. He didn't take a MoCA (or at least, not the one Bartimaeus posted, it was out of 20 and apart from the clock what he had to draw was different) but a very similar one. That and the simultaneous chat with the specialist was enough for a diagnosis of dementia on the spot. Note: I actually can prove that since I still have the formal diagnosis in my files, though for obvious reasons I won't. What the cause/ type was needed an MRI, but that was all. And knowing it was mixed ischaemic/ frontotemporal meant basically nothing anyway, except in terms of knowing what to expect)

comedy take on the cosy mystery

You might be using food in some cases. Food is how you heal out of combat, inhaler is in-combat (though will be used out of combat if you don't have any food). They both use the same button (down on the d-pad for you I think?). You can see what will currently be used under your health bar. If you're out of combat and have food, you'll see a little symbol with a fork and knife indicating that it will use food to heal. If you are in combat or out of food, the symbol will be for your inhaler and it will use that. I'm guessing that's what's happening for you but lmk if you have any more questions.

Yes. Same

having the same issue. Also got one that said "ran out of gpu memory" despite having a 16g card and running on high settings at 60fps. i7 12700H 64GB ram 3080Ti 16GB

MoCA is not a special test, like for astronauts or somesuch. MoCA is far more akin to a roadside sobriety test administered 'cause there is some reason to believe an individual is an imminent danger to themself or others. doctors won't let mary go home alone from the hospital if she fails to pass the test. furthermore, as explained to us, the MoCA is one tool for assessing cognitive issues and is far from dispositive. the test is crude and not meant to be used as proof o' wellbeing. incidental aside: we mentioned how our father took the MoCA following a TIA episode. gonna admit we were shocked when dad got every question correct 'cause at 81 and suffering numerous health problems, he were cognitive more than a couple dimes short o' a dollar. dad were at his worst at night, but even during daylight hours he were noticeable... off. people who hadn't seen our father since he were 78 or even 79 woulda' been nonplussed at pop's decline. our father aced the MoCA, and he were simultaneous a wreck. pass the test is not meaningful proof o' mental fitness. personal anecdotal evidence is functional worthless when attempting to formulate conclusions o' general applicability. nevertheless, am mentioning in part 'cause our father were not proud o' his test results and he sure as heck wouldn't have shared with anybody that he had taken the exam; am suspecting our presence in the exam room were mildly traumatic for him. our father, as diminished as he were at 81, recognized how simple and trivial were the questions o' the MoCA. our father were insulted at being asked such ridiculous simple questions, but he were also self aware enough to be afraid that doctors deemed the test were necessary. we can count on one hand the number o' times we had seen our father show visible fear... and have a couple spare fingers. am thinking trump consistency on demanding everybody take the MoCA missies the point(s.) the MoCA is not an intelligence test as he suggests. nobody with all their marbles would brag about acing the test. the test is not part o' even comprehensive physicals. etc. edit: as a practical matter, am not seeing a way to add a cognitive test requirement for article 1, 2 and/or 3 offices. would need to amend the Constitution and is unlikely you add a specific test or some subjective measure such as cognitive fitness to an amendment. am s'posing individual states could require passing a state approved mental fitness test to be added to their ballot, but am thinking there is obvious hurdles for that solution, not to mention the nightmare scenario o' each state having different tests and standards which would then likely result in scotus deciding the scheme is unconstitutional regardless. the most simple answer is one am having mentioned previous: a Constitutional Amendment which creates an age limit for enumerated article 1, 2, and 3 offices. yeah, such an amendment would not solve the problem o' folks such as fetterman and others who is younger but possible impaired, but age is an objective standard and cognitive fitness is not. is unfortunate that the only way we see the adoption o' any kinda amendment which might address the cognitive impairment issue either direct or indirect is if something were to go dramatic and horrible wrong with a President or a scotus Justice.

After reaching level 18 the flaw Easily distracted enforces the negative and let's me only add points to the lowest skill, but the benefit of 3 skill points is not working anymore.

Unfortunately the patch today did NOT fix the problem. Inez and Milverstreet still just stand there, and I can't get anything to progress. Loading an earlier save before I cleared the drones, Inez still isn't in the room. Clear the drones and she immediately shows up, but the exact same problem, she says her piece about him fixing her arm, then there's no way to progress by talking to either NPC. On the bright side after doing that my game no longer crashes when leaving the Incognito, so that's a plus, but I still cannot play until this is fixed. I assume because I completed Milverstreet's quest before Inez was in the room, and she was supposed to be there for that conversation.

Game crashed while I was playing. Then BN installed an update and now I can't play. Game Version: 1.0.4.0 Premium owned, obviously, since I was previously playing. Restarted BN launcher, had it scan and verify files. Still no go. After the hour delay in launch of early access, I'm staring to think buying this on there was a bad idea.

Thanks! I think I've had trouble using the inhaler even when the toxicity isn't maxed out (though I do think it causes most of them), but, you know, in the chaos of battle I might just be confused about that and it's always the reason.

Eh, I'm not sure we can draw too many conclusions from what was done in Trump's medical exams. Especially so given what happened with Biden. Not just the apparent mental decline with no (medical) explanation but also having advanced prostate cancer. Diagnosed after he left office for sure, but he definitely had it while president and it was not picked up on. Whatever else, Trump isn't just a normal 70+ year old just as Biden wasn't. He's not just getting his bp checked, maybe a blood test and a listen to the heart plus a quick chat about any ongoing issues and review of medications; and you wouldn't expect that to be all they had even for relative youngsters like Clinton/ BushGW/ Obama. And in this case, and I can't believe I'm going to end up 'defending' Donald Trump, Trump did insist Biden should take a cognitive impairment test way back in early 2024 (which Biden didn't) so he's actually being consistent taking one himself. Really though, Executive Leaders ought to be obliged to take cognitive tests. Otherwise you'll end up with something potentially disastrous like announcing a declaration of war as a sound test (thanks, Ronnie).

After seeing the other female companions, it seems they figure if they make the female companions unattractive enough, no one will want to do them. That's my take. The men aren't really any better for those that prefer those. Jacob... I mean Niles being the best companion so far. Although I do like Val. Val would be the only one I would want to romance. That's saying something about the human female companions. Inez is the only one halfway decent. Now from a realism standpoint, this makes some sense. You wouldn't think a combat warrior would be traditionally attractive. But then again, not much in this game is particularly realistic.

Hi, did you get the consumerist flaw?

You are missing the Toxicity mechanic. You have inhaler charges and that's the total amount of times you can use the inhaler with the ITEMS you have (i.e. all the things you've picked up that give you inhaler charge). Think of this like your food amount. It's the total you can heal. Then there's toxicity, the green bar that fills up when you use an inhaler. By default, you'll get 1-2 quick uses of the inhaler before the toxicity meter fills. Once it's filled, you can't use the inhaler and have to wait for toxicity to totally drain before you can use it again. Since you didn't mention toxicity, I'm guessing that's what's causing the confusion. I'm guessing you have it set up so that one hit puts you at max toxicity and you can't use the inhaler again for a bit, yeah? You can raise your toxicity threshold through the Medical feat and you can change the amount of toxicity you're getting per-inhaler-use by changing the Primer(s) on your inhaler (in your inventory, it's one of the tabs).

I just finished the first update for The Outer Worlds 2 and when it was finished the game disappeared from the library. I am having to reload it again. I hope my work is still saved! I am using Xbox X.

Sorted now. You just need to update. Bonus equipment not up to much if you've been playing a while. Oh well.

I am having the same issue. Game gets right to the point the ice sickle are ready and there are maybe one or two scorpions that are not dead and the game just crashes and kicks you out. When you log back in it takes you right back to where you were before the battle started. Really annoying as you need these to complete the next part, I e get the stranger.

I know how to find them and craft the inhaler charges and I have several drugs to increase charge, but I keep thinking I'm automatically using them, but I am fairly certain I have everyone I have ever built or bought. Plus, sometimes it takes a full minute in combat for me to be able to use it again, even though I have 127 inhaler charges. Also not sure that the consumables are working either, but those I don't see as many of so they probably are. I'm playing on Xbox one and I'm pressing the down button on the directional pad, what else would I need to do? TIA

There’s going to be a metric ton of very pissed off PlayStation users on full release this exact problem happened with the first outer worlds i don’t remember if it ever got fixed.

I’m in the same boat I thought I had to do something else but no party upgrade for Inez is frustrating she’s had to stay on ship cause she’s broken basically on extended sick leave until Obsidian can fix.

I have successfully restored the archive and completed everything and the quest tell me to hand over the calcuceus but there is no NPC to hand it over to. When first entering the archive I cleared the area of enemies without reinforcements from aunties or the order which might have caused this specific bug.

Worst performance how? I've been looking forward to this one but haven't followed development at all.
