At least their hips won't lie

Niles doesnt construct the explosive to breach the vault door and becomes bugged instead making me stuck in the mission Do More Harm

When loading a save file, being able to select the character and see only their save files would be an incredibly helpful QoL feature, especially for those of us who have multiple concurrent playthroughs going.

More humourous I guess

It was 'very honest' that Trump told the electorate he didn't know what Project 2025 was despite his VP candidate having written the introduction to the published version and having several of its key architects of said document working for him and which he has subsequently went on to implement Project 2025's agenda without fail? Doesn't seem very honest to me.

Playing a game called Seance of Blake Manor. It's an adventure/investigation/deduction game with a horror theme, set in late 19th century Ireland. It's first person view and lots interactable things, but the major twist is there is a time limit. Time doesn't go forward in actual time, or movement or even changing areas, but only by interacting with things. So instead of clicking everything and then trying to figure out what to do, you have think about your actions constantly. The mechanic was a huge turn off for me at first, it felt very arbitrary because it wasn't always obvious what thing had important info attached to it, and felt it encouraged save scumming. But once I got past the prologue, it seems there's much more leeway and it works fine. But maybe it'll all come crashing down on me later, when I find out I shouldn't have spent all that time going through ladies pants drawers.

I can't progress this quest. Im on PS5 and the game has the latest patch installed! To continues the Faction Quest "An Equitable Arrangement" I have to complete the Side Quest as mentioned in the title. To do this I have to interrogate the Man in the Moon Mask. After I start the dialogue I have two options. The standard and a Professor option. No matter what I choose the next dialogue options are the standard one and one that needs 9 observation. What I don't have. After being forced to choose the first option I get another dialogue option. The standart one, a professor option and a Science 9 one. I dont have 9 science. So stuck with either of the other two options. But no matter what combination I choose or companions I bring along. I am left with the "Think I will slink away option." In other words I cannot progress this side quest or the Faction quest that's tied into this one. According to the patch notes, this quest was patched. But it seems it not. Am I missing something or am I screwed? Not having enough points in specific skills should not force you out of a side or faction quest!

Why I Am Resigning ... When I became a senior judge in 2013, my successor was appointed, so my resignation will not create a vacancy to be filled by the president. My colleagues on the United States District Court in Massachusetts and judges on the lower federal courts throughout the country are admirably deciding a variety of cases generated by Trump’s many executive orders and other unprecedented actions. However, the Supreme Court has repeatedly removed the temporary restraints imposed on those actions by lower courts in deciding emergency motions on its “shadow docket” with little, if any, explanation. I doubt that if I remained a judge I would fare any better than my colleagues. ... I resigned in order to speak out, support litigation, and work with other individuals and organizations dedicated to protecting the rule of law and American democracy. I also intend to advocate for the judges who cannot speak publicly for themselves. I cannot be confident that I will make a difference. I am reminded, however, of what Senator Robert F. Kennedy said in 1966 about ending apartheid in South Africa: “Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope.” Enough of these ripples can become a tidal wave. And as Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney wrote, sometimes the “longed-for tidal wave of justice can rise up, and hope and history rhyme.” I want to do all that I can to make this such a time. ... am highly recommending reading the linked in its entirety. am knowing the "tidal wave of justice" ain't gonna happen today or tomorrow, and the disappointment am left with as our fellow americans shrug off improbable new trump administration excesses and indignities is beyond the scope o' our capacity to fully convey. what is it gonna take to make a difference? even so, with each additional attendee o' a no kings march and every time another mark l. wolf publicly declares their outrage, am a bit more hopeful those seeming trivial acts of resistance build towards something meaningful.

A bit too early for me to have my Outer Worlds2 thought, but this seems to align pretty well m with my impressions so far:

I don't have this problem but maybe if you right click on the game in Steam -> Properties -> Controller -> Override for The Outer Worlds 2 : Disable Steam Input. Would this work maybe? Another thing you could try is to look in Windows Event Log Viewer (run -> eventvwr.msc), so when the problem happens ingame and you reboot PC (hard reset), maybe you can find what causes it in the log viewer.

I have a great time on your game, There is a large improvement over outer worlds 1. Personnaly I feel like the gunplay is way better than the first game, maybe its also due to the animations. I feel like the game is also more beautiful while providing a noticeable bigger scale to the player I really enjoy the liberty you give to the player, how the game reacts and adapts to our choices and behaviors and is ready to follow you even if you are a dumb charismatic egocentric psychopath. It feels good to dive again in a tragically funny world I am already 8 hours in since the release Overall, Outer Worlds 2 resonates with what I enjoy in a video games. I hope the game achieve the success you deserve so you can bring other great stories to life

Just wanted to throw some of my thoughts out there from my playthrough so far (I'm Lv30 and about halfway through the second planet of the second pair). Encounters that force you out of stealth and the game having no way to drop back into stealth (outside of maybe smoke grenades) feels bad; it wasn't fun on the initial Deus Ex: Human Revolution release and it's still not fun here. Late-game guns appear not to have silencer attachments for whatever reason, which means you're stuck using the earlier marksman rifles and sniper rifles unless you want to swap to Heavy Revolver (which is the only non-unique weapon I've found late game that has a silencer attachment). Companions are largely useless on Very Hard without Leadership scaling even when max upgraded. Not being able to customize their armor/weapons outside of the two upgrade kits feels lacking. The High Security Lockboxes were fun to hunt around for in the first two zones, but they are virtually non-existent past those areas (I think I've found one since hitting the game's mid-point quest, despite combing the entire zones). Not being able to be successful in conversations outside of Speech checks feels bad. It would be nice if there had been alternate ways to reach "good" solutions without just putting points into a stat, as even the "additional" information that you can find from exploration often still requires Speech or Leadership checks after bringing them up in conversation. However, I understand having some outcomes/rewards be Speech-specific, as the stat would otherwise feel less useful. Lockpicking, in particular, feels unrewarding as a lot of the loot from locked chests is just bits and random junk (which feels like a regression in exploration after the all the meaningful loot scattered about in Avowed). Lack of stat points means (especially in Very Hard) that you must heavily specialize into 2-3 skills. Having a handful of extra points (either tied to exploration or quest rewards) would be nice so that you could pick up additional utility.

I knew I should have waited 10 years to buy them.

Yes please! I love making multiple characters. There's probably no way to manually sort save files on consoles and although you can do it on PC.. it's annoying to have to.

I think there's been a pretty consistent trend of "Trump on ballot = wild overperformance for GOP, Trump not on ballot = mild to severe underperformance for GOP" ever since 2016, so it's not too surprising. The man certainly knows how to rev up those baskets of deplorables, that's for sure. The good news is that Trump can't appear on a national ballot again...for the moment. With this particular Supreme Court, I genuinely do not feel 100% confident that that will hold, though I'm at like maybe 80% right now.

Simple one really, doesn't matter which scope I apply (1.25, 1.5, 2.0) none of the scope mods result in a more zoomed in view of the target than default iron sights. Any idea how to fix this?

NYC will soon be under Shakira law.

The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.

Lol. True, not in the way you're arguing, though.

During Donald's second term, he has: Pardoned approximately 1500 people who stormed the capitol Signed an executive order to end birthright citizenship, while also telling the lie that the USA is the only country in the world that does this. (It was blocked for being unconstitutional.) Signed an executive order withdrawing the US from the Paris Climate Agreement. (Coincidentally, his campaign took $75mil from fossil fuel interests, and the new energy secretary founded a fracking firm.) Signed an executive order putting a pause on all US foreign development assistance programs Signed an executive order to end DEI (I know Bruce will probably approve of this one because every time someone links to a study that proves that systemic racism definitely still exists, thus necessitating things like DEI, he'll just go hmm agree to disagree) Appointed a secretary of defense with a history of allegations of sexual violence, alcoholism, workplace misconduct, being sympathetic to neo-nazis, and a white supremacy symbol tattooed on his chest Talked about the possibility of running for an unconstitutional third term Signed an executive order banning trans people from serving in the military Signed an executive order to restrict gender affirming health care to people under the age of 19, against the advice of current research on the subject Blamed a crash on 'DEI' while an investigation was still ongoing Appointed as secretary of health and human services a man who had part of his brain eaten by a worm, who has gone on to misinterpret a bunch of studies to perpetuate harmful stereotypes around biological differences between black and white people Empowered ICE to act with almost no oversight, leading to a number of false arrests and unchecked violence against legal immigrants and US citizens That was just January. It takes a mixture of stupidity and evil to look at this current administration and think 'what a relief we don't have Biden.'

Ok! I decided to do a patch notes deep dive and…. It’s fixed! This can now expand your under 50% life a bit, I think.

I did walk around a little before heading to town. I think a big part of it is narrative baggage from being part of the earth directorate. Like I can be a criminal who doesn't like the earth directorate and takes nothing serious. yet they decided to make me captain? Just in my mind you have to be a leader of some sort for the story to make sense. If you had been just a regular soldier it would feel a lot more natural. Starting off important takes something away from these types of games imo

Nice. Deadfire felt a lot better in tb for me. Except that those super bosses were impossible, because combat would stretch into the endless... Those tweaks they mentioned sound interesting. Almost makes me wish they would update Deadfire again.

I think i have become a full hater. I just cannot get into outer worlds 2. I think its a me problem because I enjoyed the first one. If I had to justify it. I do not like when games throw you right into the world with no buildup. New Vegas you start in a small unimportant town. You wake up and talk to people in the town and you hear about the factions and political climate. Pillars your caravan gets attacked and you make your way to a small town. You get eased into the world. In outer worlds two you are an agent and you go on a mission. Thing happens. You are thrust into the world and factions with no time to ease into the world. Even the first outer worlds eased you into the world. You dealt with a minor dispute before seeing the wider picture. I probably will start to enjoy it eventually but it feels like too much too fast. I have a hard time caring about anything going on because it's thrown at you so quickly. Combat is good. Graphics are good.

Powerful New Antibiotic Was 'Hiding in Plain Sight' For Decades : ScienceAlert

There's some setting that fudges the dice and is intended to help avoid chains of bad rolls, in practice it seems to make rolls worse (or at least more "average"), turning it off seemed to at least improve things for me. May be in my head, may not be, there's been evidence collected to indicate the former, but since Larian doesn't disclose how the setting atually works and kept updating it there's no telling how accurate that evidence still is. Anyway, may want to try turning it off (it's on by default) and see if that improves things for you, it did for me.

yes!!! Its so frustrating, I wish there was at least a list of fast travel points that we could pick from or something.

I've started a replay of BG3 as well, a few days ago. Getting close to Act 2 again, and I'm having way more fun with the game now than the first time, just because I know now how everything works, and how to best use the environment for my advantage. I think the game is pretty good. IMO, a party of 6 is really not necessary. Guess it would make combat a lot easier as well. Not sure why your people can't hit anything - I'm wrecking whatever crosses my path. Maybe you use the wrong weapons, etc? If we'll get a PoE3 some day, I'd really love it to just use this game engine. All of the interactions and environments combined with Obsidians writing should end up pretty cool.

I started playing BG3 about a week ago. I'm using a lot of mods, though all of them from among those available through the built-in mod manager. The most important mod being the one that gets me a 6-character party. As I had expected, the game is okay but not amazing the way everyone likes to gush over it. It's definitely not worthy of all those 98, 99, 100 review scores it was given, calling into question the credibility of those reviewers. Among the things that I dislike are a horrible inventory system and hotbar system, poory designed UIs across the board, moving and organizing the party as a group being a huge pain in the ass, most containers in the environment being empty (and not getting clearly marked as such even after you check them), and all NPCs can be interracted with even though many dont have anything meaningful to say. Your own dialog options during conversations are often many and yet the range of different options is very limited, meaning many of the options are merely minor variations on saying the same thing. Combat is also, as expected, rather tedious, but I can live with it from having a party of six and using low difficulty settings. But it is rather ridiculous the extent to which characters miss their attacks. I've gone through multiple rounds of combat where every single one of my six characters missed on their attack. But I'll grant this is a huge flaw of DnD and not the game per se (and why I love PoE mechanics so very much more). Where the game does shine is in beautiful environments, and very nice character animations and cutscenes. The story is also good so far. More to come.

After finishing the Archive quest chain, i can't give the calcaduceus to either Auntie or Ruth, going directly to them just makes them say generic lines. The quest marker leads to an empty room in the entrance of the Archive. I have opened up all lifts including the Spireton one, there was nothing else i could interact with there. The Order NPC at the lift doesn't have anything to say either. I suspect this is because i cleared Spireton of enemies way before accepting the quest, and there was no way to acknowledge it during the negotiations.

This thread really is quite slow when I'm not around... So, quote for the day: "In America you call it the Alt Right. In Germany, we call it 'Why Grandpa lives in Argentina Now.'"

Omg omg omg omg all hands on (steam)deck, this is the captain, ready large screen docking stations! This is not a drill!

Thank you for pointing this out! I had totally forgotten how I gotten in there to begin with and probably would have never realized I could get out. I’m happy I can atleast keep playing the game in some way til this gets fixed.

Hi dev team, First of all, thank you for Outer Worlds 2 – I’m really enjoying the game overall. I wanted to report an accessibility issue with the “Run and Hitter” perk. The visual effect that appears when this perk is active (the screen blur shaken effect) makes me feel very uncomfortable and motion-sick. Would it be possible to add an option in the settings to Disable the visual effect for this perk. I know not everyone is affected, but for players sensitive to motion or visual effects, this would make a huge difference and let us keep using the perk without feeling sick. Thanks a lot for reading and for considering this!

N-Ray door switches won't work, no interaction at all, when I first tried they worked, so I entered the room only to be killed by the invisible cultists, then I found the scanner went back to the switches to open the door nothing!! , I've restarted the game, I've done to many quests to go back to a save, game over!!

Have you downloaded the update? If you've done that it all shows up after completing the introductory quest. I'm ps5 too, and it's all there now.

I watched Vinland Saga on Hulu; it wasn't bad for a semi-historical drama (and it lacked anything resembling anime goofiness). Unfortunately, the second season isn't available yet.

At least he passed away peacefully in his sleep. May he rest in burrito.

Playing some Daggerfall with the Unity patch is pretty great.

"Saga of the Malfunctioning Mechanicals" quest stays in the active section of the Journal under "Mentioned" even after Hogarth moves to Fairfield. Quest becomes impossible to complete even after acquiring the parts it asks for.

Omg thank you! You summed up my main problem perfectly! The only way it justifies no longer doing damage with your weapon is if you can then do massive damage with a spell, which you can’t when the cipher takes a while to cast it (opportunity cost, not doing anything = 0 dps and also tanks burst damage, until he finally casts) , or doing amazing CC, which you need to do RIGHT NOW usually, not in 10 seconds when I gathered enough focus and finish smelling the roses for the spell to finally cast. passive retaliation focus would have solved this amazingly well. Pity. as always, thanks for the insight. Also, I guess no ciphers in my future lol, I’ll learn to live with my disappointment by having a Druid murder everything with storms

I don't know if they talked about this already. But I'm at the end of the quest where it tells me to hand over the calcaduceus, but there's no one there to give it to. Does anyone know how to fix it

Because of the imminent release of the StarCraft miniature wargame, I have started playing the original StarCraft. I had a bit of a disagreement with General Edmund Duke. Raynor and I said we need to stop the zerg from killing whole planets. Duke asked "But do you condemn the sons of Korhal?" We didn't. Now we are terrorists. Obviously now the zerg are trying to eat Duke, so we have to save him. We should have just sent him a message: " When the zerg came for Mar Sara, I did nothing because my villa wasn't on Mar Sara. When the zerg came for Chau Sara, I did nothing because my golf course was not on Chau Sara. When the zerg finally came for me, there was noone left to save me."

Did you interact with the nearby intercom to actually summon the troops? In my prior screenshot, it is roughly just right of center.. by the break in the guardrail. There really should be quest markers for activating the lift.

Task - HBO, 3 episodes (hubby continued to watch another couple, but I wandered off) Not bad. I thought there would be a little more, y'know, detective-ing and crime-ing, but it's well acted and mostly well written and spends a lot of time developing characters. A lot of family-drama vibes on top of the crime-drama. Definitely worth a shot if that's a genre one likes. If I don't get around to watching more of it, that's more about me and my attention span/lack of daily interest in watching TV etc. Those first few episodes were certainly interesting enough.

I know this can happen when HAGS (Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling) is not enabled in Windows. The setting can be found in "Settings -> System -> Display -> Graphics -> Advanced Graphics Settings"

I had this issue but my monk froze up as if he were casting a priest spell. Couldn't cancel the action or do anything. I ended up loading the save. It never happened again, though, so I didn't bother reporting it as I didn't know how to trigger it. I didn't even think it had anything to do with Stunning Blow or the monk class. Have you replicated it often? Also I find your jab at Obsidian uncalled for. Games are going to have bugs, and these bugs have arrived alongside waves of free content that go well beyond what many other studios would consider. Frustration is no excuse for disrespect.
