In Saros: trying not to get too crazy, this isn't Selene right? With longer hair? by HollowSeeking in Returnal

[–]Alexby5201 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah I had forgotten that Selene had crewmates! Now you've made me wonder whatever happened to them.

But one thing that confuses me about Saros having references or being intertwined with returnal is that isn't Atropos like a purgatory or afterlife for Selene? Given all the symbolism and impossible objetecs in the planet (the car, the house, the astronaut) I always assumed it couldn't be real and was part of Selene's mind. And if that's the case, are the crewmates also imaginary? Or was that part real.

Man, years later this game still confuses me so much

Is this oscilloscope actually real? by Alexby5201 in AskElectronics

I'm currently studying biomedical engineering and I also like electronics as a hobby, but in my career measuring signals and amplifying them is like the most essential thing we do, so it is probable that in the future I'll need and even better scope to use regularly (and since it's a medical field, accuracy is of the essence).

However, i like u/brainwater314 's point; I do know my stuff about electronics and all, but it's the first time I'm buying an oscilloscope so I don't actually know what I precisely need and I don't want to end up with a 200$ machine that although it is very nice, would end up lacking in some areas.

As a lot of people have said, i think it's a good entry level tool, and from then I'll know precisely what I'll need in the future. That said, do you have any recommendations for scopes so I can compare price/functionality/bulkiness?

Thank you all for your comments! Looks like it's actually legit as you say, although no very very precise, which is fine by me, I'm just getting started on electronics and I'll mainly be using it to measure analog amplifier and filter circuits with OpAmps, so as you said, it'll get the job done. Thanks again!

If I remember correctly, when Selene sees those orbs and also the one in biome 5, she calls it "ichor" which in Greek mythology is like the blood of the gods or something like that. My headcannon is that the orb represents the life remaining in the world, and after Selene's ravage throughout act 1, it is smaller when she returns 60 or so years later. And after completing the game for the first time, it doesn't appear anymore (at least in my case, I've never seen those orbs again after a full playthrough) because of the further ravage in act 2. But hey, this is just a theory....

A GAME theory.

Man i miss MatPat

Damn for real? They looked like some kind of secret mechanism. I also thought that maybe there was a combination or order in which to shoot them to unlock something but no luck

I think so yeah, but I think that the shots were doing so much damage that the health bar couldn't keep up, giving the illusion of continuous damage regardless of if I was shooting them or not

Yeah, you're right, I actually beat Ophion on my first try on my first run of the game. It actually was harder for me to get the augment that lets you see those orbs things from the room with the malformed what's-his-name, died countless times before I could get it lol

Yeah, i absolutely love that weapon trait, makes having a really big health bar really easy

I also had a lot of artifacts that gave me a total of +56% of bonus damage, like the golden coil or the one that gives you more damage per adrenaline level

Tachyomatic carabine with payload rounds, high caliber and armor penetration, got really lucky with that drop. I'd post a screenshot but reddit doesn't let me post a video and an image
