Minority Mindset

Stranger Things openly draws inspiration from classic 80s movies and stories, with clear references to films like ET, Gremlins, Ghostbusters, A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Thing, The Goonies, Scanners, and It.

I got to play a demo of the game, and it dropped me right into a later part where my character – I made mine female – had to navigate a pleasure district during the Bakumatsu era. One of the biggest changes in NiOh 3 is how missions work. Instead of picking them from a map and then loading into a location, you just select the mission directly. Now, don’t get me wrong, this isn’t turning into an open-world game like Elden Ring. They were really keen to emphasize that! Each historical period will still have its own map, but they’re way bigger than anything we’ve seen in the previous NiOh games. The levels aren’t completely open, it’s more like we’re following set paths, but there are wider areas to explore. Even though it’s still a fairly linear structure, I found tons of hidden corners with chests, optional bosses, and shortcuts. Honestly, it made the maps feel much bigger and less restrictive than in the older games, which was a relief.

Everyone has a unique handwriting style – it’s as personal as a fingerprint. While some people’s handwriting might share similarities, experts can usually tell them apart. But new advances in artificial intelligence can now perfectly mimic anyone’s handwriting, effectively erasing those individual differences.

I’m so excited about the new Foundations update! It feels like everything we’ve been building towards, and it’s completely changing the way life feels in the Free Lands. The biggest thing for me is that NPCs can actually die now, depending on the choices I make. If I mess up a quest or just ignore someone, they won’t stick around forever – someone new will move into town instead. It makes everything feel so much more real and impactful!

When you look at the join date on X profiles now, you’ll see more information than just when the account was first made. It also reveals how many times the username has been changed, any connected accounts, and the account’s general location. This update is designed to help people identify real accounts versus bots. The “Account based in” feature specifically makes it easier to notice if someone isn’t actually located where they say they are in their profile or where you might expect them to be. Many users are already pointing out accounts where the stated location doesn’t match their bio.

The upcoming science fiction story, The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, aims for a realistic feel. While it’s not a simulation, it will be more down-to-earth than games like Mass Effect. To ensure accuracy, the developers consulted with former NASA astronauts and an International Space Station commander to portray life in space authentically.
