After certain points the gangs will send occasional hit squads after you, but that's about it.

If you're gonna be hacking you straight up require a deck, but it's in no way necessary for stealth. Crouch-running with a Sandy and the perk that activates camo breaks stealth just as hard as being able to hack.
Except you cant really interact with cameras or computers worth a damn. Just takes all the fun out of it IMO.

Immediately install the Attribute Checks Descaled mod and thank me later.

I recommend using a Cyberdeck over a Sandevistan as you basically just miss out on a lot of the game if you cant hack, especially if you like to play stealthy.

The story is serious but there's definitely a lot of weird/quirky, especially in the sidequests.

"Stealth archer" isn't really a thing here (no sneak stat) but you can approximate it with perks, especially at higher levels.
What? That!s literally what Cool is. You can absolutely do stealth archer by specking into Cool and Tech, as theres a sniper rifle called Breakthrough that will let you shoot through walls, and those two perk trees together give you tons of bonus damage for stealth headshots, so you can basically do a Ping, then kill everyone with headshots through walls before they even know youre there.

Ive said for years that companies by and large didnt actually give a fuck and were just trying to cash in by expanding their audience. Now that the shoe is on the other foot they cant switch fast enough.

I work for a federal contractor. And for the last 6-7 years, every year we had a bunch of mandatory trainings, including Diversity trainings, and all their slides were full of diversity and so on, they constantly preached about it, etc.

Now, since the election, theyve pivoted to removing all that and talking about how the new administration means new opportunities and our company distinguishes itself by our performance and that the government has told us Youre not like the others who are just trying to take as much money as possible and string us along, etc.

I get that you have to protect the company from an obviously capricious and vindictive idiot who could easily blacklist you from being rewarded federal contracts on a whim, but it kind of disgusts me that they seem content and / or happy about it rather than putting on a begrudging performance.

So the Switch 2 being a better Switch? Easy buy for me. The PS5/XBox whatever the fuck its called? Not remotely interested, and exclusives arent a swaying factor for me anymore.

edit - admittedly, when Elder Scrolls 6 comes out in a decade, well see if that holds true.

What you're having trouble fathoming is the difference between fully integrated central air with well placed thermostats and a bunch of AC units. A central HVAC system that circulates air and has an outdoor fan blower is far more precise than a window or floor unit and the circulation creates even temperature changes that can be felt. Plus HVAC units also reduce humidity which also has a noticeable impact on how the temperature "feels" which is probably playing a part as well.

This is sensible enough and we can work with it.

The difference in F is more subtle than C, sure.
My take is: does that even matter, if its i dunno 58 outside, maybe it is too warm, no idea honestly but lets just assume its warm, if you are out and about can you really tell when the temperature goes up or down 2 or 3 degrees? how much does it vary on a warm day from morning to noon and then to sunset? is that something that can be genuinely intuited?

Because if not, then I cannot see any argument on how F would allow for greater precision in practice because people cant really tell differences of individual degrees just like its useless to have decimals in C which is possible but not really practical or needed.
I dont walk around outside with a thermometer. But on a heat pump / central AC you can absolutely tell.

72 F set to the AC unit in your house is comfortable. 74 F set to the AC unit in your house can be tolerated if you have to put up with it thanks to a cold blooded person living with you. 75 F set to the AC unit in your house is very uncomfortable.

The Celsius equivalents in that range are:
72 F - 22.22222 C
73 F - 22.77778 C
74 F - 23.33333 C
75 F - 23.88889 C

One of these is very intuitive, one of these isnt, and its obvious which is which.

Celsius simply has too narrow a range for ambient temperature and you have to subdivide degrees to have any level of precision at all. When the range of livable ambient temperatures is a little over a third of a temperature scale, that scale isnt suited to measuring ambient temperature. Yes, Over half of Farenheit isnt useful for that, but it was created to measure ambient temperatures, then extended later.

Obviously Kelvin (and to a lesser extent Celsius) are more useful for scientific applications.

Depends what it is.

I just gave myself some Doom multiplayer achievements that are impossible to get now.

When I originally played Cyberpunk 2077, I got all the achievements on GOG and as close to 100% as I know. But when I replayed Cyberpunk 2077 and Phantom Liberty on Steam, I got most of the achievements, completed Phantom Liberty all endings, then when I was trying to wrap up the do all the side missions achievements, my save got to the point where if I made another save it just got corrupted, period, and nothing I tried fixed it. So since I had already put 400 hours or close to it into that game and was sick of it by then, I just gave myself the remaining achievements on Steam rather than doing another playthrough and 100+ more hours.

In Dishonored, Ive played through that game at least 4 or 5 times over the years trying to get Clean Hands and another one that basically requires you to go undetected and not kill anyone the whole game. I always did it. Every mission had the Ghost checkbox, 0 kills, but it would never give it to me. I made sure I didnt get the Granny Rags bug, etc. A couple years ago, after yet another failed run, I just loaded a save and got it, then went and got every achievement I didnt already have including Du wall City Trials legit, which was way harder than that anyway. I have zero trouble getting the equivalent in the two Dowd DLCs, Knife of Dunwall and Brigmore Witches.

(fake)Verso spends the entire game trying to find a way to kill himself and in the end Maelle repaints him to be an old(er) piano playing party dog because she naively believes he will be happy as long as he can (maybe) die of natural causes one day (assuming Maelle doesnt just repaint him to be younger again). Ignoring the cruelty of that, Aline and Maelle are both demonstrated to be addicts, and in Maelle's ending we see the painting corruption / sickness taking hold of her so its implied she will not be able leave on her own despite her compromise with Renoir.

I think both outcomes are negative endings, but at least in Verso's ending we know at least 1 party member manages to survive and that (real)Verso's soul is allowed to finally rest.
He spends the game trying to kill literally everyone but Alicia, and if you pick him, youre accomplishing that goal.

In Versos ending, one party member survives to live a life in a scarred body without the ability to speak while her birth family continues to neglect her as they focus on the conflict with the Writers. The rest of the party doesnt even exist anymore, and you are in fact sacrificing all but that one of them and their entire world deliberately to achieve this outcome.

In Maelles ending, the only ones who suffer are fake Verso (and the last piece of real Verso) and the rest of the Dissande family, and everyone else gets to live and have a chance at happiness.

Neither outcome is really good, but Ill take the utilitarian route and pick the one where a handful of privileged people suffer for the sake of the many rather than literal genocide for the sake of the privileged few.

I dont think you can know both outcomes and really even consider picking Verso without dehumanizing the beloved characters you spent the game with as not real or otherwise not considering them sentient beings. Hell, the Dissandes are all real, but theyre all at least in part toxic assholes to Alicia, who Versos ending condemns to a life with them.

Its great, but I went with the Maelle ending.

Neither ending is good, but letting Renoirs genocide everyone in the painting simply isnt an option.

Also, Maelles ending is the lesser evil because shes not stuck in there. It leaves her able to return to the real world later if she wants to, while Versos ending eliminates the painting and everyone within it forever.

Besides, in the Verso ending there isnt some loving family around Alicia, they all go their separate ways after the funeral and shes left to suffer alone.

I beat that snake boss on the map last night. I think it took an hour and I regret my strategy. Since it absorbs all AP ever turn I tried a strategy stacking the combo attack and buff pictos for your basic attack but I don't think that was the play. Most of my damage came from popping Sciel at like 20 moon cards and using Monoco's level 1 gradient while the boss was stunned.

Shield really is invaluable since in practice you can compare it to giving yourself an extra 9999 health per stack or something. In Media Res feels mandatory on the high difficulty setting.
Its not mandatory as I did Expert and resolved to take zero damage through the whole game, which I did, but I did get lazy and spouse In Media Res when I finally got it toward the end of act 3.

For the snake, it depends on how much of a fight you want to have. For any boss in the game, Maelle can one-shot it if you want to. I thought that made things a little too easy, so I beat on it until I got a full 3 Gradient bar then one-shot it with Gommage. Energy Master is one of the best luminas to equip though. Put that and Energising Turn and Energising Start I and Energising Stsrt II on everyone, you should have max AP most of the time.
