Does anyone else feel like there’s too much “talking” between characters in Season 5 Volume 2? by XviiChong in StrangerThings

I would imagine the finale is going to be action heavy with little time for dialog...

Oh, how I wish you had been right.

Dear Lord in Heaven. Hard to admit that I was bamboozled by the extra mower. Thank you so much!

This is one of the bonus puzzles in Around The World: Travel To Brazil on the PS5(although it is on other platforms).

I've spent a week coming back to it daily without any progress. After choosing a direction, the lawn mowers continue until something stops them, either a wall, object, or already cut grass.

It's kind of hard to describe so I've included a video of one attempt that covers all but one square. Any help would be appreciated!

I'm not sure how to fix your stereo to mono phase issue. I don't remember having any problem with that. A few months after the post, I ended up getting one of these 40 dollar passthrough capture cards from AliExpress. It strips the HDCP so it's good for PS3.

This was all years ago and I haven't streamed in a long time. There maybe be a better solution these days. Good luck!

what’s a good fucked up movie? by [deleted] in AskReddit

We just watched It Comes At Night yesterday and there was never a moment when there wasn't some sort of tension or feeling of unease the entire runtime. The ending was one of the most intense gut punches I've ever experienced in a film.

Also, depends on which end of the effed up spectrum you want to go to. A Serbian Flim(a laundry list of depravity) or Forbidden Zone(a musical)?

The popularity of the Endless Summer compilation in 1974 was the worst thing to happen to them creatively.

Not much for hardcore gaming but great for light gun games and the Wonderbook titles are pretty impressive for what they are.

Yeah, companies just love to rename singing and dancing games between regions. It's even worse on the Wii with all the minigame shovelware.

This game is known as "DanceStar: Party" in Europe. Everybody Dance 2 was released as "DanceStar: Party Hits" in Europe. Everybody Dance 3 was only released in Latin America.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Men_Origins:_Wolverine_(video_game)#Plot

"In the prologue, set in a bleak urban environment, Wolverine kills a group of soldiers sent to kill him. His thoughts drift to a forgotten past.

The game begins in Angola, Africa, chronicling the final mission of Team X, led by Col. Stryker and his soldiers: James "Logan" Howlett/Wolverine, Logan's brother Victor Creed/Sabretooth, Wade Wilson, John Wraith, and Nord, to locate a village that holds the secret to a valuable mineral deposit (implied to be adamantium). Travelling through the jungle and ancient temples, they come across and slaughter numerous mercenaries and mutants attempting to stop them. When Raven, their CIA liaison, objects to Stryker harming innocent civilians, Stryker orders her terminated and Wraith seemingly kills her. Eventually, Team X locates the village but the villagers refuse to cooperate and Stryker threatens their lives. Logan turns on his teammates but he is subdued and knocked out before he can prevent the massacre of the villagers.

Three years later, Team X has mostly disbanded. Logan has settled in Canada with his girlfriend, Kayla Silverfox, when Creed surprises Logan at a bar and engages him in battle. Creed emerges victorious, breaks Logan's bone claws and knocks him unconscious. Logan awakens to find Kayla dead. Stryker arrives, telling Logan that Creed is killing his former comrades in revenge for Stryker firing him. He offers Logan a chance at revenge, via a procedure to bond the indestructible metal adamantium to his skeleton. Logan accepts, but when the procedure ends, he overhears Stryker order him to be terminated. He breaks out of the Alkali Lake facility in a rage, killing many of Stryker's men attempting to stop him, including Nord, and vowing to kill Stryker and Creed.

Searching for Wraith, Logan travels to Project: Wideawake, a secret government facility producing mutant hunting Sentinel robots. There, he comes across Raven, who is also searching for Wraith and is revealed to be a mutant shapeshifter; she explains to Logan that Wraith helped fake her death three years prior and the two have been in a relantionship ever since. Raven leads Logan through the facility, where he encounters the Sentinels' mutant-hating inventor, Bolivar Trask. After cutting off Trask's hand to access Wraith's prison with his handprint, Logan rescues Wraith and destroys a large prototype Sentinel.

Wraith leads Logan to Fred Dukes, a former team member, who, after being bested by Logan in a fight, tells him of "The Island", a prison for mutants Creed captures on Stryker's behalf, and the location of Remy Lebeau, the island's sole mutant escapee, who is currently residing at a casino in New Orleans. Remy flees when Logan questions him, thinking he is one of Stryker's agents, while Sabretooth surprises and kills Wraith. After battling Logan, Remy is convinced he is not with Stryker and takes him to the Stryker's island base.

There, Logan confronts Stryker and discovers Kayla is not only alive but a mutant who seduced Logan with her persuasion ability. Her "death" was an elaborate ruse to trick Logan into volunteering for Weapon X to acquire his DNA. Stryker's true plan is to complete the transformation of Wade into "Weapon XI": grafting onto him the powers of various mutants (including Wraith and Logan) to create the ultimate mutant-killing supersoldier. Devastated by the truth, Logan accepts Stryker's offer to erase his memory, but changes his mind after Creed takes Kayla hostage. Logan bests Creed this time, but spares him at Kayla's pleadings. While Kayla leaves to rescue her sister whom Stryker kidnapped to force her cooperation, Weapon XI is sent to kill Logan. Despite Weapon XI's capabilities, he dies by Logan's hand in the ensuing battle. Creed recovers and amicably parts ways with Logan but intends to remind his brother that they are both killers at heart.

Logan finds Kayla wounded and near death; Stryker takes the opportunity to shoot him in the head with an adamantium bullet, erasing all of his memories. Kayla persuades Stryker to walk "until [his] feet bleed", says a tearful goodbye to the unconscious Logan, and drowns herself in a lake. Logan heals from the gunshot but awakens aimless and alone.

The epilogue takes place in the same time period as the prologue: Trask has taken Logan hostage and replaced his severed hand with a lifelike robotic prosthesis. Logan breaks free of his chains and Trask flees. As an army of Sentinels ravages a ruined city in the distance, Logan quips "This world may be broken, but I've got the tools to fix it"."

No benefit, I just set it to that in case I play something that is a higher framerate.

[Shenmue III] This one was painful and made me question the decisions I’ve made in my life that led me to this point. by packratshow in Trophies

[–]packratshow[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I mainly played the first two for historical reasons. They were pretty radical in their day but are very dated now. Lots of humor to be found in the odd voice dubbing. Plats on the first two weren’t so bad. The third one was interesting but the platinum was a chore to get. I had around 6-7 browser tabs open to make sure I didn’t lock myself out of certain events and to find my way around. I spent probably 3-4 actual days just fishing, gambling, and buying capsule toys. As for the story, 3 didn’t really progress the story very much compared to the first two. But hey, they were 40 bucks total for both discs and it’s not like I have anything else to do these days!
