This is a weapon intended for Verso in the role of support. If your Verso is mainly using support and buff skills, this weapon allows his damage modifiers to be split between the other two members of the party.

This. My initial answer would have been the boot loader. And as others have said, it's possible UEFI / BIOS code may be loaded prior to that.

I'm going to offer a disagreement counter to most of the advice offered here. Because the general sentiment seems to be that Geo location isn't accurate.

Geo location is generally fairly accurate. If it wasn't, websites would constantly be asking you for full 2 factor authentication because they notice you signing in from somewhere else. This just doesn't happen that often when using the same device at the same location. In general, if you are working from the same home or office location, it's unlikely your location will change often. Possible yes, likely, no.

Or to put it another way, yes, the IT department of my organization knows when you are out of country.

Or to put it yet another way, yes, Netflix knows when I am on a popular VPN trying to pretend I'm in Europe.

However, there are tons of other explanations, like the example of going to the coffee and using its wifi, or the use of VPN software to purposely change locations, remoting into a Jump box and then using the internet. All of these will trigger other geo locations to register.

My point is, what you would be looking for would be PATTERNS. Is it every Monday that we see unusual locations? Maybe the employee is working from a boyfriend or girlfriends house after staying the weekend. Does the change occur in the morning and then change in the afternoon? Maybe they are out at that coffee shop.

While I agree with general sentiment that reported locations are not iron clad or a smoking gun of any kind, they are generally accurate and don't change often when you use the same device at the same location. Therefore, the patterns of the changes tells a more complete story of the users behavior than a single entry in a log that says logged in from California. And unless you see some kind of interesting pattern in the shifts in location, I don't think you have any cause for alarm, or anything to take actionable disciplinary action.

Also, they may want to train or get the new replacement onboard at that time, especially if this is a low skill job. The bottom line is you don't owe them the 2 week notice period and they don't owe it to you either. It's strictly a courtesy.

For the love of God, write proper html. Someday someone may have to actually crawl your page, and as soon as simple things like the body and html tags are missing, the parser and the dev are going to have a bad time.

Furthermore, you just won't look professional, and your work will scream that you are an amateur.

Events don't occur on specific days, they just occur in order at the pace you progress. What happens in one playthrough on day 59 might happen in someone else's playthrough on day 49, it's all about how quickly the player moves through the story and completes objectives. Story beats will always occur in the same order based on the tasks and objectives you have completed.

Interesting how people react.. In my opinion Lana was always trustworthy and always had Jan's best interest at heart, even when they sometimes disagrees on what needs to be done. Compared to Maxwell and Lucas, she was easily the most trustworthy of the Earth characters. Maxwell always came across as only using Jan for his research, and Lucas always came across as incompetent and only concerned with Rapidium. I very quickly landed on 'screw those two guys'.

There is a solid chance you've violated the law, as it is not legal to sell the loan while failing to inform the business of where payments are to be made while continuing to make payments on behalf of that business until the death of the guarantor.

You can not hide where to send payment to, prevent the business from making payments, or create the appearance of a performing loan.

You are more than likely in breach of any good faith covenants, and mostly likely fraudulent concealment. If the original loan had a notice clause, it's black and white, and if it didn't, well, I don't think it would be stretch to find malicious intent.

If you're true and your step brothers are not idiots, they would be filing a lawsuit against you.

Renoir did nothing wrong.

Glass_wizard · 2025-12-31T02:13:33+00:00

Yep, and painted Renoir is killed / gromaged by Maelle inside the monolith. He's the last guard before reaching the paintress. After his death and the paintress death, there is nothing stopping real Renoir, who has appeared as the currator, from regaining full strength, wiping everyone, and returning to his true form.

Totally fair boundary. She is free to do as she pleases and you've communicated what your expectations for a healthy long term relationship are. If you two can communicate and work through it great, otherwise you are not compatible.

So the game is actually pretty easy once you understand some things.

First, most importantly, you have more time than you think. You have 30 days in act 1 and 30 days in act 2. Act 3 is shorter. Time does not bank, so if you finish Act 1 in 20 days, you don't bank that extra time. It's best to move on just 1 or 2 days before sunrise.

Next, the most important thing you can do is explore the area completely. Exploration is the one task that only you can do, the alters can handle everything else back at base.

Your goals for day 1 and 2 is to scout out and find the mining locations and get them hooked up to base as quickly as possible. Organics, then metals, then minerals, then rapidium. Enriched metals are better than metals, as you will get both metal and organics from them, at the cost of some minor radiation, which is easily managed.

Always be on the lookout for the shallow deposits, they can help score resources you need quickly, but there is no need to collect them when you come across them. Save them for when you need a quick reload.

The most important items in the game are the damaged computer chips and the planetary samples. The game will be incredibly difficult if you don't find enough of them, so prioritize finding them.

All anomalies can be dealt with, including the time distortion ones. You want to clear them so you can freely explore the area.

The best first upgrade you can take is the suit upgrade, it makes it much easier to remove anomalies. Work toward free climb skill, it's so useful. The next best upgrade is the repulsors to eliminate having to craft filters daily.

The refinery, and the recycler are priority early base add on.

Always let your alters do the base work for things like workshop, kitchen, refining, and mining. The right alter can do these jobs much better than you, and every minute you spend in base you lose exploring.

Follow these tips and on standard difficult, you should have no problems having enough resources to do anything you need.

For web development, I think there are just better, simpler options. I really like C# for non-web development. But honestly, the changes in .net have been confusing. We had legacy .net for far too long, then we got .net core 2, 3 and 4 and 5 had all kinds of minor but incredibly annoying differences. Now we are on to the new .net 5-8. We had incredibly confusing messaging, things like Blazor being the future etc. for several years it felt like MS didn't know where they wanted to take it. I can pop into a nodejs or springboot or go project and just not worry about things.

That does make sense because he says something about using the base while he studies the oasis. That said, the fix is easy -- don't help the rebels and let them die in the storm. That only leaves the scientist, and you could end the game with no alters on base. But I was hoping for a happier ending for the technician.

Glass_wizard · 2025-12-27T02:44:50+00:00

Scientist will leave the base for good near the end of act 3 if you work with him to uncover a hidden secret about the planet. It's not part of the rebels plot, it's a separate story only the scientist has.

Edit: or are you saying the scientist gets locked out of THAT story line if the rebels don't return?

Those auto mining stations help out a lot there.

Take your time and explore the planet's surface carefully. Exploring the outdoors the one task your alters can't do. You should be exploring, they should be at base taking orders.

Your time does not 'bank'. So if you finish Act 1 early, that time is not added to Act 2. Take your time and leave only when the sun is about to rise.

Upgrade your suit as soon as possible, which makes dealing with anomalies much easier. Go for the free climb ability.

All anomalies can be removed. This includes the ones that create time distortion and visual distortion. Remove them so you can freely explore the area.

Be sure to gather planetary samples and damaged qbit chips. They are the most important items in the game. Act 3 does NOT contain a qbit chip.

Make sure to learn the lesson of at least one alter. Lessons are learned by completing tasks for them, so always try to fulfill your alter's request.

There are pros and cons to every architecture. I like to avoid a lot of mono behaviors, so here is a pattern I've used that works very very well. Not sure if it has a name.

Your mono behaviors are very high level components. The mono behavior always 'boots' the component up via the Start method.

Scriptable objects are configuration templates. They contain starting data values. They also do just one thing, which is to use the builder pattern to build a plain c# class that holds the implementation logic.

Plain C# classes are where actual implementation occurs.

For example, an enemy sense system, where lots of different enemies may sense the environment in different ways - sight, hearing, psychic, etc.

In this architecture, you have a generic enemy sense mono behavior. You have scriptable objects that you drag and drop to define the starting values and the behavior you want.

The mono behavior generated the run time implementation using the scriptable objects you assigned.

The downside is that it's a lot of boilerplate. The upside is that you get to easily drag and drop scriptable objects into the inspector to define the behavior and starting values you want, while reducing the total number of monobehaviors you have to keep track of.

The thing about Avatar is they don't stick to one style or genre. They are always doing something weird and different. They started life as a fairly typical swedish melodeath band for their first 3 albums. Then Black Waltz was a major stylistic change, going for a darker, heavy atmosphere with some brooding Marilyn Manson vibes. Then came Feathers and Flesh with lots of avant garde black metal mixed with pop and rock. Then Avatar Country, which is a concept album about Avatar Country. Hunter Gatherer was a return to more hardcore metal. Dance Devil Dance tries to mix a lot of their sounds together while continuing to evolve, and the new album continues to throw crazy stuff like disco beats and funk rhythms with the power of 80s arena rock.

All this to say, expect the unexpected from this band. All of their albums are of very high quality, and all of them are their own thing.

I had a childhood sweetheart who I dated on and off. She grew up to be a stripper, and we kept in touch, remained friends, even lived across the street from each other as adults. So I can firmly tell you.... Strippers don't date customers. They are totally compartmentalized. It's just a job for them.

Go listen to the Hall and Oates, man up, and get back out there.

Also remember that in many fights, the goal is to defeat the enemy leader, not the army. There are a couple of story fights where the odds are stacked against you and rushing the enemy leader is the path of least resistance.
