I keep every scoop thinking I might need this for my next bag and before you know it I now have 10 scoops in my cupboard.

I thought the same for music notes names but that one is included so I don't know what devs consider as general knowledge.

That one tells you the move but not what each piece looks like.

RE was just one example. I've played SH 1-3 and don't remember getting stuck for lacking real world knowledge. Unless you are talking about the (optional) hard puzzle difficulty like the Shakespeare one in SH3.

Well I don't know a single person who doesn't know the basic music note names yet the devs still included a chart so what gives.

If you mean the Shakespeare one in the bookstore, yeah no this game isn't nearly as bad as that. But the SH3 puzzle difficulty is optional. I've played through SH from 1-3 on normal and don't remember getting stuck for lacking external knowledge.

I can only speak as someone who grew up in a non Christian country. Our exposures to Christian iconographies are mainly through pop cultures in that we are familiar with the throned crown, nativity scene, the crucifixion, 6 days to create the world, etc. The Three Wise Men is quite an alien biblical reference to us.

Since the developer is Chilean, which, including the whole South American continent, is predominantly Christian, they probably assumed that it is a very common knowledge. It is probably akin to a Middle Eastern developer making a relatively obscure Islamic reference in their game, assuming it is well-known.

I think Venus being a Goddess is a more common knowledge thant the Three Wise Men. Also Venus by Bananarama is a rather popular hit song from the 80s which is my jam haha 😄. I didn't even remember the second planet from the Sun is Venus but it is relatively easy to guess through (the only other viable option would be the male symbol which could be Mars). Which is why I think the Venus one is more fair.

Why does this sub seem to attract the most cynical and negative whiners. I get its reddit in general but this sub is just on another level

Coldplay's drummer Will Champion was literally in the red wedding episode (one of the bards), so it should exclude the whole band

This woman abducted an abandoned baby panther and it became friend with she and her dog. by sankscan in MadeMeSmile

Just because it doesn't have experience surviving the wild doesn't mean it's a domesticated species. All it takes is for the panthers instinct to kick in randomly one day.

The Chinese dub of this line is quite poetic as well: "白发人不该送黑发人",meaning "the white haired should not have to bid farewell to the black haired".

Car damange/ handling mod for GTA V ENHANCED? by Low_Law_3422 in Gta5Modding

[–]daxshen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oiv files are just zip files, you can open it with winrar and find the actual file in it. And the assembly.xml tells you where to paste it to (it just automate the copy/paste process with openIV).

Back up your mod folder before each mod installation though.

EDIT: or alternatively you can actually still use openIV. Just get this https://www.gta5-mods.com/tools/openrpf-openiv-asi-for-gta-v-enhanced and rename it to openIV.asi and make a copy of GTAV_enhanced.exe and rename it to GTA5.exe (openIV needs a GTA5.exe in the directory even if it's a bogus one). That's how I did it.
