[author0] Uber Driver account, my license was “expired” when it clearly wasn’t. Normally I have gotten an alert before my documents expire on my Uber driver account, but I tried to log onto the app and work today only to be told my license has expired even though it doesn’t expire tell 2022. Now I’m waiting to get it approved, which I know could take awhile as my friend waited two weeks to get approved to work. It feels fishy to me, but wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this? Maybe it’s just a malfunction but seems very much like a great way to cut costs... [author1] This happened to me last Friday. I re-submitted my license a couple of times and was told that it wasn't clear enough twice, even though it was a high-res scan. I called support, they had me submit it a third time, and it was accepted that time. The mentioned an issue at the time with their document repository. [author0] Damn support is working for you? Every time I call they tell me they are having technical difficulties with the phone system and that there is a shortage of staffing. They tell me I can wait on the line, but the proceed to disconnect the call.

I let it grow because I liked the flower but then we had a week of rain in SoCal and that stuff took over. The flowers turned to thorny burrs. Lesson learned. [author0] I thought it was just a normal clover and wasn't worried about it and it spread on me....kids don't like walking on it bare foot

[author0] Reset before wipe? Do you think that it is worth resetting your account before the wipe to get all the examining xp from items once the wipe comes? [author1] That's not how that works, your account automatically resets at the wipe [author0] I think you are misunderstanding me. What I mean is, when the wipe comes, nikita has said that you won't have to re-inspect items again like you would at the start of a fresh account.
I seem to remember when I first started playing it gave a decent amount of early, easy xp. [author1] Didn't know he had said that, personally I wouldn't because in the time it takes to do that you could do a raid or two and get some xp and loot [author2] oh shit, we better get the xp for examination

[author0] M700 + M62 = nobody cares I was running M700 with vudu + M62 and was shooting players, players SCAV and raiders on Reserve.. I could see blood, I can hear bullet hitting them, I test my gun via wall (I saw bullet hole), but the ammo did no DMG to them. I killed that raid with M700 also with APB.
It is happen to me 2nd time this wipe.
Does somebody has similar issue? What is going on? It is gun or it is ammo?
check video pls, you can see blood during hits: [YT VIDEO](https://youtu.be/fzbeLEDBZZE) [author1] The first one you hit his arms a few times.
There may be an issue with the cover he was hiding behind with hitboxes.
But when you were shooting that raider across the train yard, your shots were flying high. Even at the lowest ranging, you should have just aimed at his face.
Play it back in slow motion, you can see the tracer shot miss his head. [author0] that first scav player could be anything, but that raider got hit with blood 3 times..

Everytime he mentions hanging out with his friends over Michael I just don't get it. How can anyone else me as much fun as Michael haha. [author1] Maybe because Michael is twice his age? [author2] Too many words. Good ideas are simple. 'Golden ticket.' [author3] There’s golden grams ..?

I got the email saying I was but when I go to reschedule, my appointment is still there like normal. [author1] I’m in the same boat. It’s been over 48 hours though so I’m just taking it as I’m still on. [author0] I’m doing the opposite at the moment lol

[author0] $0.53 Chicken Cheese Bean Burritos (Includes Price Breakdown) [author1] This is nitpicking, but I dont see the cost of heating and storing in the fridge/freezer, nor the macro breakdown. [author0] 1 burrito = 269 calories, 6.8g total fat, 3.1g sat fat, 33.1g carbs, 6.7g fiber, 18.8g protein.
And you're right, I did not include the cost of the electricity from cooking, the cooking instruments, the taxes I paid on the food, the electricity my freezer will use, the electricity my microwave will use to defrost the burrito, the plastic wrap I used to wrap the burritos in, the environmental cost, or the value of my time. Even though I love a good spreadsheet, that seems like a major waste of time. [author1] 😋

[author0] He got to go for a two mile walk though! He could pull a sled by himself!!! It’s supposed to be rainy tomorrow so we got out today while we could. [author1] Is there a dog park near you? If so, do you take him, or the other pups there? That would probably use a lot of his energy. I bet you get great exercise on your walks, though. [author0] We went two miles today. My backyard is half an acre and it’s fenced, so we play a lot at my house. I spend an hour in the morning an hour in the afternoon throwing a tennis ball for two of them. Felix and Baby Girl. If I get in my car, in five minutes I can be at a river. It’s just not quite warm enough for them to go swimming yet. So yes I take them lots of places. This summer I plan on trying to train Felix with a bump stock. I have some friends who have a lake and I’m going to see if he will swim out and grab a decoy like a real Labrador. It’s worth a shot and would be great for him. [author2] Does the cleft cause any issues with swimming? I'm just wondering with his nose, and presumably nasal passages, being a little wonky can water get where it shouldn't be? Or did the surgery fix any potential issues? [author0] That’s one of the main reasons I did this besides him being able to eat easier. I hope he can swim! There’s only one way to find out. And at least I’ll be there!!! [author2] Awesome!

[author0] What the Great Pyramid of Giza looked like at the time [author1] Here’s a question, but do we know it was desert 5,000 years ago? I mean probably, but you’d be only a few thousand years out of the last ice age- there must have been some climate difference [author2] Some climate difference sure but it's wasn't russia in the winter. Soil samples, wood samples, fossils and a whole plethora of indicators are pretty accurate when it's just 5-6000 years.
Not to mention some basic form of writing had already started by then that are available today to decipher

[author0] Strategies for running a 3 mile PFT I know the PFT for this year is cancelled, but what’s your strategy/mindset when running the 3 mile for the PFT? Personally, I stride for a 6:30” pace then halfway slow down to an 8:00” then finish strong the last 250m. [author1] Lean far forward then throw your arms back for a little more balance to go way faster [author2] Guy in my unit, PFC Naruto, did this last year. Super effective. He got 11-minutes flat.

[author0] Will you help me create a pub quiz for my friends Hello, like everyone else stuck inside at the minute, my friends and I have decided to do a few video call pub quizzes, this time it's my turn to host. I wanted to include a round based on my favorite quiz show 'Pointless'. For those of you who don't know, it involves the contestants providing the most obscure answers they can, as they are then compared with the answers of 100 random people that were asked the same questions before the show. The lower the score, or the answer that the least amount of other people gave, is what wins you the game. I've procured a set of questions to ask my friends, but the only trouble is that I need to ask them to a bunch of random people first in order to have something to compare their answers to. I thought you guys might be able to help me out and be my 100 random people asked before the show.
It should only take a few minutes to complete, no more than 10, but I would be extremely grateful to anyone who fancies helping me out. Try not to use google or anything, the answers literally don't matter at this stage, in fact, it would be nice to have a few pointless ones in there that nobody gets. Feel free to share it with other people too, the more the merrier. Thanks :) [author1] Done! Thanks for the topping up my quizometer :D
Will you manually check for spelling, punctuation etc? Because there should be a hyphen in one of the band names [author0] Oh my bad yeah I’ll go through them all at some point and check everything, which one was it that needed the hyphen? [author1] Band name enema of the state 😊 [author0] Ahh yeah of course

[author0] I actually really like the design of this new Lunar optimized Starship! I don't know if it's the lack of wings, or the engines in the middle of the rocket... Here's a render I made of my newly created model. [author1] Did it come out to the same size as current starship, still 9m diameter but the windows threw me of on the height a bit. Also who is the guy in the inside straight up just giving you the official models... damn. [author2] I think those are solar panels, not windows. Looks a lot like the crew dragon trunk panels.
Pretty sure its the normal size

[author0] Cheap body suggestions My Nikon D40 which I bought back in 2016 has finally kicked the bucket, its having mechanical issues with the shutter and I’m not savvy enough to be able to fix it. So I think its about time I invest in a different camera, between quarantine and school I rarely have time to work and can reliably afford something around $100 USD. I suppose my main questions are:
Where should I look something that could fit my price range? And what dslr would be worth dishing out 100 dollars or so for some impromptu photoshoots? [author1] It depends what you're going for, if you don't mind having a compact camera there's a range of camera from Sony that have DSLR Sized sensors (APS-C) and interchangeable lenses in small compact cameras and you can get bodies for around £60 uses on ebay. Search up the Sony NEX5. It has a full DSLR sized sensor, 14.1 Megapixles and pretty damn cheap. Hope this helps :) [author0] Wow this reminds me of the canon eos m!Thank you! I’ll be keeping my eye out for this [author1] No worries I've contimplated getting something like this for a while, I may do sometime in the future. You can get slightly newer versions (for example the Sony A500/ A1500) however they're more in the £150-£200 price range so it's up to you really. But I think they're a great little camera

[author0] LORL to pay special dividend of $5.50 at the end of May for all shareholders as of May 14 Currently trading at $22.96 [author1] I wonder how much the stock will drop after dividends payed [author2] Before dividends are paid, the stock will drop around $5.50 on the ex-dividend date [author3] Is it worth it to buy a put then or would that b prices in [author2] You can capture dividends by selling options if you do it right. However, there is risk that the price changes by other factors which could cause loss.
https://www.google.com/search?q=dividend+capture+options
However, in this case open interest for $LORL is low so no one is really buying or selling options. You could try a limit order, but it will likely not be picked up.
As far as in general, the options market is a derivatives market and less likely to be rational. Sometimes things are priced 'properly.' Some are overpriced and some are underpriced. High volume usually means it's more likely to be fairly priced, but there are always people making and losing money. [author0] Bid/ask on puts is crazy right now. If it’s flat until the 14th might level out

[author0] Which sub-genre of horror do you think is the SCARIEST? So obviously there’s quite a few different styles of horror. You’ve got slashers, home invasion, nature-based horror, supernatural/paranormal, monster movies, aliens, torture, ect, ect, ect.
So my question to you is, what kind of horror do you personally find the scariest? What sticks with you the longest after you’ve seen it? [author1] Definitely supernatural/paranormal horror. I love movies about possessions, hauntings, and other such content.
I can't stand slasher films. I find even the ones most people consider great are cheesy and aggravating.
Like, if you come home and your door is busted open, why would you go inside and say "Hello? Is anyone in there?"...like the killer is just gonna be like "Yeah, I'm in the kitchen making a sandwich. You want one?" [author2] And I'm the opposite, lol. I love slashers (my favorite genre) but they are not scary to me, their just the most fun..
I guess because I grew up with the Scream series, they pointed out the silliness of *"hello, who's there?"* that when I watched Halloween, Friday13, etc it was like a fun party experience more than an *edge of my seat, don't look now* type horror

[author0] 'Survival': Tenants, landlords brace for largest rent strike in decades | "If banks are getting bailed out and corporations are getting bailed out, why aren't poor people getting bailed out?" one activist asked. [author1] My rental house (I’m a small-time landlord) is in a city where rents have nearly doubled in the last 15 years. I’ve raised my rent about 20% in that time because I really like my tenants and am not trying to squeeze every penny I can out of it. All of the raise was because of property tax increases by the city.
You know what? The respect I’ve given my tenants for years is being paid back. Their rent payment for May just cleared.
Why do I guess that a lot of landlords who are about to miss their rent payments have been abusing their tenants for years? [author2] No disrespect, but as a renter... My amount is respect for a landlord just doesn't matter that much.
Like, yeah, if I like the landlord, I won't try to screw him. But if I lose my job and I'm worried about feeding my kid, it doesn't matter how great you are; I'm not paying rent because I know evictions take a long time, especially now.
On the other hand, even if I don't really like you very much, if my job is unaffected I'll keep paying rent because why wouldn't I? [author3] Renters need to understand they are not without power. A smart landlord *treasures* a good tenant. [author4] Then that landlord should fucking act like it. [author5] right? Been renting for 3 years in my current place, i take care of everything short of the lawn. naver had a late payment, etc. Just got the letter yesterday they are raising the rent.
There's nicer and cheaper places out there. why should I stay? Nobody is trying to sign a new lease right now so by trying to make 1200$ they are going to loose out on so much more in the months it'll take to find a new tenant. [author3] Counter. In fact, lower the rent [author5] Once I'm ready to sign papers elsewhere to move, then I'll counter on rent.
Or if they want to up rent, ill only sign a month to month contract. Id happily pay more for month to month because who knows when I'll be off furlough at this rate. [author3] But that requires you to do leg work *now*, which costs you resources. From what you told us, it’s a renters market, yes? Plenty of quality inventory with competitive prices. It’s rather unfathomable that if you asked for a rent reduction they would say “be out by the 1st” in response to your counter. The only reason I could see that is if they view you as a pain in the ass.
Since it sounds like you would prefer month to month, call around and see what’s available for 6 month terms that then go month to month just to get a feel for the market. Armed with such information you could try asking for month to month at current rates.
Who is the “they” in terms of the landlord? Is it a company? If so, get a friend to call in and ask for prices for a similar property and tell them to negotiate hard to see how much the landlord wants to deal.

[author0] Trump harshly blames China for pandemic; a lab ‘mistake’? [author1] Two weeks ago, everyone on this sub laughed at the idea of this being an accidental leak. Why are people so gullible and dumb? It is entirely plausible and CLEARLY those in the intelligence communities consider it a real possibility. I'll never understand why so many are so quick to defend China and the CCP. [author2] Those who consider it a possibility are arriving at the notion not from evidence or even reason, but to appease an infantile head of state. [author1] What about those who consider it a possibility but dont work for the president, or even align with Republicans, or even live in the US?
Chinas adamant demanding of nations NOT to look into it speaks volumes.
Accidents can happen. [author2] I imagine that it won’t be the first or last conspiracy theory that you buy into. [author1] It is not the first, you're right. Silly me for forming my own thoughts as opposed to being spoon-fed my beliefs like your brain-dead self. 'Conspiracy' is not a derogatory term.

[author0] I was naive to how many dental students do cocaine regularly. To start, I don't care which drugs people do because people can do what they want but coke is not big where I come from. with that said, my job usually has me interacting with literally hundreds of dental students on a daily basis. I say usually because COVID has fucked that up recently. Anyways, I have been invited to a few student parties. Without fail, at least 15 of the 50 or so there will be snorting coke. I figured at least a couple in the school would, with coke being big in undergrad, but he sheer number of students who use coke threw me off. [author1] Coke does uh..

Coke is an upper so it could actually be used to boost performance, but there are definitely better ways to do it though. [author1] Well yeah, but do those other ways include snorting white stuff with ur friends? [author0] Fortunately no. Usually just coffee and group study [author1] Yeah, see there's the issue. It's not as cool and exciting

[author0] AO3 vs. FF reading preferences So, this might be just me, but despite the fact that both sites are used for the exact same thing, to me, they’re wildly different.
For example, I feel like FF is more lighthearted, more PG rated, and I think the sense of community is stronger/more consistent. i.e. it’s more common to see a core base of readers for your story that routinely review the work.
On the other hand, AO3 feels a little bit more distant, at the same time I feel like people review more but favorite/bookmark less when my experience in FF is the opposite. In AO3 very few readers comment consistently, but then appear in like chapter 15.
Also, am I the only one who thinks that you sometimes get more “serious” or “grownup” or “dark” works in AO3? Don’t get me wrong, I’ve read kickass fisc in FF, but I also feel like the general quality of AO3 (at least in the fandoms I follow) tends to be that little bit higher.
I have 2 main stories, a HP darkfic WIP (7k) and a generally lighthearted One Piece AU that’s branching out but the main story (57k) is done. They’ve been posted at roughly the same time on both pages and the difference in their performance is staggering.
On AO3 - 2 weeks posting time
- HP has 18 comments, 257 kudos and 81 bookmarks at 4 chapters, and 3k hits.
- OP has 89 comments, 94 kudos and 30 bookmarks at 18 chapters and 1300 hits.
ON FFnet - 1 month posting time
- HP has 8 reviews and 60 favorites at 4 chapters and 3k views.
- OP has 218 reviews and 232 favorites at 36 chapters with almost 50k views.
I’m sorry this is so long, the thoughts just wouldn’t leave me alone. Does anybody agree/disagree?
Has had like a widely different experience?
Has any theories about why the communities behave like this?
Thank you for your time [author1] I think that dark fics show up more in ao3 because of the tagging system. The categories provided by ffn aren't always sufficient, and speaking from experience I prefer ao3 for that because I know exactly what I'm gonna get into. [author0] I agree, you can find what you're craving in a heartbeat which is fantastic, but might also be the reason it's hard to get hits sometimes. Fewer people browse through it just because?

[author0] Sorry about the TV quality, but just started playing 2 weeks ago - finally made a logo and the first merch item for my island, bunni! [author1] That looks so nice! It reminds me of teddy fresh, which I love! [author0] Yesss thank you, I love their color block hoodies! [author1] My favorite is the pastel one because I own so many dark clothes and it’s good to have bright colors as well, also I think the color scheme looks more cohesive that way [author0] The pastel one is definitely a favorite of mine, the colors work so well together [author1] EXACTLY, I didn’t know I’d ever connect with someone through color schemes😂 [author0] Right?! Color is everything to me [author1] Yeah, plus I kinda need to pay attention to color since I like to draw and would like to pursue that as a job [author0] Wow same! I’m an aspiring graphic designer, so I hope that I care about that stuff lol [author1] I didn’t expect to “meet” anyone with similar “career paths” I guess [author0] Don’t discredit yourself it’s definitely a career path, it was nice “meeting” you! lol [author1] Same to you!

[author0] DEVS I am honestly so confused as of how they managed to shoot this entire show. Articles say that they were shooting in October 2018, and yet... I never saw any of this happening? [author1] Most of the on campus filming occurred over the summer. I was working in BSOE at the time and it was pretty noticeable. [author2] I saw it a lot. There were times we were told not to go in or out of various buildings from particular sides. There were times when they built things and then tore them down. We had some really futuristic bus stops for a day or two. The front of the library looked cool for a couple of days. [author1] I think we should have made those bus stops permanent.

[author0] Would it help to have your partner (F) have orgasm before you(M) if you are trying to conceive? Usually I give her orgasm right after me but her orgasm might push out my sperm when she has her orgasm and I can't figure out is it helps if she has the organs before me or after me and I can't find it on internet [author1] It's theorized that her orgasm will cause her cervix to dip into the ejaculated sperm, if there is any there. I don't think anyone has proven it scientifically, though.
If you're really concerned, do it both ways, alternating between sessions. [author2] I've actually seen a video of this. It wasn't porn but was an actual study. Wildly fascinating to watch.

[author0] Cross Platform Accounts I was an early adopter of FO76, starting on the BETA. I've only ever had one character since then, slowly leveling and collecting over the past almost two years. I've got alot of shit. I've bought alot of shit. I built a PC earlier this year, and I'm hopping back into the game...but I'm kinda really disappointed that I don't have the character I've built up over the last few years. I understand Bethesda being apprehensive against crossplay, but I know it's full well within their capability to keep the same account across platform.
TL:DR; I just want my shit. That I've earned or bought. It's not a big ask. [author1] "over the last few years" Game is year and a half old. Also, as this game has PvP crossplay is kinda impossible. Controller vs mouse/keyboard.. Not gonna happen. [author2] Like daemon said, it wouldn’t be fair. But I believe they should add a way to upload your character to some sort of cloud like Bungie did for Destiny 1 and Destiny 2.

[author0] Knife shopping advice! Athames, their power and alternatives? I'm looking to incorporate an athame like tool to my practice and need some guidance! :)
I know that, traditionally, an athame should be double edged (magic cuts both ways) steel (properties of iron) with a black handle. To be honest, that's not so much my style. The things that are most powerful to me tend to be more earthy; tools that I use in the garden and in my home.
1. That being said, what makes traditional athame so special, specifically in terms of its properties in ritual use?
2. If I found say, a boline that I would prefer to use in ritual as well as in other areas of my craft, could it have the same power?
3.What do you use in your practice for an athame? [author1] I personally don't include Athames in my practice because i don't need them for my rituals, but if i was to I personally would use somethings as simplistic as decorating a kitchen knife or something. Remember that the magic comes from you and they are just tools and aren't necessary! You're still just as powerful with or without any of the fancy tools! (though i agree, its so much more fun to have them.) I don't have the answer but I'm curious to see the answer too! Blessed be. :D [author0] I can totally agree with that, but it's nice to hear the affirmation :) I did read that some kitchen witches tend to use their kitchen knives in ritual as a replacement for an athame and honestly love the idea.
Blessed be.

[author0] Storage for basement nonperishables? I'm fortunate to have a large, but slightly damp basement. My father was a rather paranoid prepper who kind of leaned into hoarder territory as he got older, but I have a very large, nice shelving system in my basement that is great for stacking nonperishables, which my husband and I are currently buying a bit at a time.
However, I want to put boxes and softer sides food items in plastic containers on these shelves to keep out damp and any stray mice that might get past our cats. Does anyone have any good, reasonably priced recommendations?
Our shelves are floor to ceiling, and about 24 inches high. Big rubbermaid containers are out. The pantry containers on amazon aren't quite right since food will remain in their packages.
I'm pretty new at this, aside from watching my father growing up, but I inherited his whole stockpile and the house, so I definitely want to keep it up. Any advice would be appreciated! [author1] Mice can and will get through plastic storage containers. Cans will rust in a damp environment. The dehumidifier suggestion is a good one. For long term storage of bulk food mylar bags in five gallon pails can work especially if you wipe down the buckets so they won’t smell like food. It might not be a bad idea to set up some mouse traps and ant bait as well.
We don’t store anything besides cans and glass jars in the basement because of the concern about bugs and vermin. Dry goods in smaller quantities get put in mason jars. [author0] Arrgh. Well, I've only seen one mummified mouse in the basement before, but maybe I'll get some glass storage containers. I do have some 5 gallon pails but I usually grow tomatoes in them. [author1] Make sure your buckets are food safe plastic and free of things like fertilizer that might have been absorbed into the plastic.
It *might* be ok if your food is wrapped in multiple layers of plastic but I don’t think I would do it.

[author0] When you accidentally post your onion strings in the wrong subreddit🙈🙈 I was way too excited about my onions lol [author0] Recipe:
Regular flour, but we ran out so we added some buttermilk pancake mix.
Mix in w a dark beer- we used yuenling lager. Until it’s a thick consistency.
Add salt and pepper
Toss together w the onions (2 yellow onions sliced on a mandolin slicer)
Then throw into a piping hot pan (cast iron) filled w vegetable oil.
They cook in about 2 minutes or less.
Then transfer onto a paper towel lined plate
Enjoy :) [author1] Please tell me more about how you sliced these onions and about mandolin slicers! [author2] The slicers are my #1 way of losing finger tips and chunks. I would avoid them if you absolutely can lol [author1] You were right, I should have listened :( [author2] You ok? [author1] Lol yeah I just sliced off a chunk of my thumb [author2] Ooh. I reccomend a good band-aid and some Neosporin

[author0] Struggling to find a good answer on whether to stick to a Managed Fund (Vanguard) or jump into ETF trading with brokerage Hey, I currently have approx. $15k in an existing Vanguard managed fund (High Growth). I have let it do its thing for awhile now and plan to start reinvesting <$10k over the next year somewhere.
I was originally planning to continue to put it into the existing managed fund. However I have recently become interested in more direct share/ETF trading again and have been researching it.
One of my top concerns is - The brokerage fees I'm seeing around (IG) sit around $10 per trade, plus other bullshit around inactivity, etc. That's a non-trivial amount when talking about investing <$10k and could very well eat into any potential wins I make badly. An obvious observation to most of you I suppose.
So my question/s: Is this standard? I see a few companies like Stake that \*appear\* to be cheaper but catch you when putting funds in. Do I just have to keep my trades really high (>$1k) and not often to minimize this?
Or should I just bloody well drop it into my managed fund and forget about it? [author1] On a long term hold the management fees of the managed fund will exceed the brokerage, best to save up and invest at least 5k at a time in an ETF. Note that investing more frequently at smaller amounts isn't worth it and you shouldn't worry about those sub 5k amounts being in a HISA instead of the market for a few months.
The exception is where you have enough money to get wholesale rates, which are a lot closer to the ETF rates. I've heard of people getting wholesale at 100k, wouldn't know if it's a thing though. [author0] Thanks for the info. So \~$5k is the accepted range to look to jump in, okay.
I have been tempted to take a more active role and pick some shares in the industry I am an expert in. But at \~$10 per trade it would seem pretty expensive even just to make a handful of pick it seems? Each individual pick would need to be in closer to the $5k mark? [author1] >Thanks for the info. So ~$5k is the accepted range to look to jump in, okay.
It's not a hard and fast rule but it hits a good balance between brokerage cost and frequency of purchase for most people's incomes I have found. If you're saving less than 5k every six months you might want to buy smaller parcels, or if you're saving more than 20k every 6 months then maybe up the parcel size to something like 10-20k.
>I have been tempted to take a more active role and pick some shares in the industry I am an expert in. But at ~$10 per trade it would seem pretty expensive even just to make a handful of pick it seems? Each individual pick would need to be in closer to the $5k mark?
I usually go at least 1k for individual stocks. But the general wisdom for amateurs is to stick to ETFs and not bother. If you do want to have a bit of a gamble 1k+ should be fine (if you hit something that goes up 100% then you probably won't notice the brokerage).

YouTube simply has no standards, unless it’s policing harmless content people actually want. [author0] Thank you. I honestly have been watching clips for the show Survivor for the last week. Staying home is boring sometimes. [author2] Seriously YouTube ads are fucking stupid, I get all these anime borderline hentai game ads, you can go through my entire search history, there is not a speck of anime on my search history, it's just YouTube ads being stupid, on the same note my teacher got a hot singles in your area ad on YouTube, and I really doubt my teacher is looking for hot singles in her area on the teacher Google account.

[author0] How would you rank the Harry Potter films from best to worst I recently just rewatched all 8 in the past couple days and I would rank them as such
1. Prisoner of Azkaban
2. Deathly hallows part 2
3. Half blood price ( I liked this one way more then I remembered)
4. Sorcerers stone
5. Deathly hallows part 1
6. Chamber of secrets
7. Order of the Phoenix
8. Goblet of fire
I like them all a lot with prisoner and DH2 being a lot better then the rest but goblin of fire I don’t care for much but the rest I really enjoy [author1] It's been a hot minute since I've seen all these but I remember Prisoner of Azkaban being far and away the best. [author2] Directed by Alfonso Cuaron and really shifted gears from the first two movies to take on a much more serious tone.
That's the one I go back to watch the most often too. [author3] He also actually blocks scenes and has movement happening in every scene which is not true of the other films.
I wish they'd given him a blank check and said "Direct these and we will fund your passion projects for a decade" [author4] By movement, do you mean the camera moves, or that no actor stays stationary? [author3] It's both really. When the actors move the camera follows.
In most of the potter films there are dialogue scenes which are static and action scenes which aren't. There isn't necessarily a problem with that but it can get boring.
Contrast this scene from POA: https://youtu.be/4O-lUWqp1yk
With this from goblet of fire (starting after Harry's name comes out): https://youtu.be/uDyju7qp9zs
After the initial explosion of movement everyone stands around. Again nothing wrong with this but Cuaron is able to block scenes in a more dynamic way [author4] Cool thank you so much!

[author0] When Oregon Reopens, Bars and Restaurants May Be Required to Issue Last Call at 10 pm [author1] This is the moment when some billionaire tech founder should develop a tracking app that really addresses privacy and public health, and then donates it to the world. I mean, I just don't think that logging customer data is feasible in the bars and restaurants where I play as a musician. At least not some list on a clipboard that they keep in the back office. [author2] Google and Apple are going to have this as a joint venture at some point using NFC. [author1] So, I'd swipe their (venue's) device and personal info I've pre-loaded gets securely held in their system, right? And we presume that eventually someone's vaccine info would be there, too. [author2] This is from the verge, I was wrong, it uses Bluetooth which makes sense.
> The new system, which is laid out in a series of documents and white papers, would use short-range Bluetooth communications to establish a voluntary contact-tracing network, keeping extensive data on phones that have been in close proximity with each other. Official apps from public health authorities will get access to this data, and users who download them can report if they’ve been diagnosed with COVID-19. The system will also alert people who download them to whether they were in close contact with an infected person.
>Apple and Google will introduce a pair of iOS and Android APIs in mid-May and make sure these health authorities’ apps can implement them. During this phase, users will still have to download an app to participate in contact-tracing, which could limit adoption. But in the months after the API is complete, the companies will work on building tracing functionality into the underlying operating system, as an option immediately available to everyone with an iOS or Android phone.

[author0] Sims 3 store content should be free now I know it never will be, greedy EA, but it’s ridiculous to have to pay $40 for a town from a game that has been outdated for upwards of 5 years now. [author1] Here is a [link ](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lo49eZZCcvb2SvovnLQKwtFyua-u8E0ijfkP-FMhpiY/edit?usp=drivesdk) with almost everything including the worlds. Everything is a package file already too. [author2] can you please tell me how to install the files?
i've downloaded the objects only zip file of monte vista, as i wanted only the wood fire oven, and not the entire neighbourhood, but i didn't manage to install any of the objects.
help, please! what should i do after the zip file is opened? [author1] They are package files so you need a mods folder. Personally I have a folder named store content inside to differentiate it from my other custom content. It's a lot easier to maintain that way. [author2] okay, but after i transferred the wood fire oven object file from the zip folder into the download folder of the sims 3, it didn't show up on the launcher, so how do i install it?
sorry for the newbie question, but i don't use any mods or custom content in my game, and i'm not sure what do i do wrong. 🙊 [author1] It doesn't show up in the launcher because only .pack files are uploaded there. To get these .package files to work you need a mods folder. [This](http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Installing_Sims_3_Package_Files/Setup_and_Files) is simple tutorial on how to set one up. If you don't want a mods folder you could install the world itself via the launcher, but I know you don't want the whole world. The only other thing I can think of is to try and find the objects in. pack form but I'm not sure where to get that. [author2] oh, i see.
thanks!

[author0] I need serious help. Ok, listen, first a little backstory. Hi, I am a 15 year old girl. I just turned 15, 2 months ago. I've come for help on a sort of really big issue. If you are faint of heart, please leave, I want to better, and not to be judged for what I've done, (even though it's well deserved). A few months ago, I was introduced to the world of comic porn. (Last warning). I didn't know what it was, but being that young, and well ya know, horny, I looked up a few things. I found a comic of well under age kids. I closed it out, but ever since that day, I've had that in my head. I can't lie and say I never looked it back up and read through it. I worry I am a pedo, and I need to go to jail. It's not real children, but it doesn't matter. I want to get better, I need to get better. I need real help, please, I can't let this rule my whole future. Please. I never really looked at child porn, but what I've done is illegal. I am really worried that I sexually like children, the thought has crossed my mind. It's not just the comics, it's whenever the time is wrong, they come up, the children come up. [author1] You’re 15.
You’re body has had literally 15 years of experiencing new emotions and hormones. You’ve had almost no time to get used to these things, Give it a couple more years and you’ll have a better grasp at what you’re attracted to. Just carry on with your normal day, and be healthy. It’s bad enough getting random boners in class. [author0] Thank you for being kind about it, I am sorry to bother you. [author1] Lol don’t apologize, i sucked at being a teenager, you’re already doing better than I did by at least reaching out on something

[author0] there needs to be a heavy-weapons armor-penetration card for normal armor use [stabilised](https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Stabilized) is a solid card, but the lack of a normal armor variant pigeonholes heavy-weapons builds into power armor and while that might be what people usually pick, denying players options isn't a good thing.
basically, make it the same armor penetration (15/30/45%) with a different secondary bonus, like reduced vats cost or something otherwise similar to the increased accuracy without it actually being increased accuracy. [author1] Maybe if that is a thing there isn't really a reason to use PA [author0] that's more a problem with PA than the card.

[author0] Saving to get 2 vehicles, do I need to be a certain level to get them? I just downloaded GTA on my PS4 and was looking to save some money to get the oppressor MK || and the flying, “Delorean” looking car. I just wanted to ask if I needed to be a certain level to get 1 or the 2, anything would help! Thanks! [author1] I hate this culture of people downloading the game and immediately aiming for the mk2. That vehicle is poison to the community [author2] its a great grinding vehicle though and good to get around the map [author1] Yeah but Its no secret it is over powered. I think it should have a level cap. Like if you have to be level 100 to buy an RPG why not a flying bike that shoots rockets?? [author2] yeah that is true, usually the people that use mk2s to kill me are either below a hundred or above 500 which is probably modded. [author3] I'm almost 500 and it makes me sad that people probably think my account is modded 😔

[author0] EPIC, we don't want this person representing our competitive tournaments [author1] I’m I an idiot for not know omg who this is? Someone please fill me in [author0] >She has some credentials. She's somewhat known in the NAW scene, has played in every event, and is generally involved. No casting experience, but I wasn't really ever worried about that since there aren't a lot of 3rd party tournaments to have people try out casting. I was pretty optimistic she could be a good caster and bring some female representation.

>This does not excuse her actions in the video. I don't think Epic vetted her background enough or missed this when they were considering her.

[author0] The Parks and Rec reunion was perfect. Absolutely perfect. They nailed it. My wife and I are both blubbering. Take notes anyone trying "isolation" entertainment. [author1] They really nailed it, my expectations were low with the format but they made it work. The video chats, commercials and the song made it a great place to again leave the cast. [author2] Really a testament to perfect casting. They became a family and honestly would probably do this a lot. It makes me happy [author3] Don't forget the writing! The writing credits are basically everyone that wrote for the show for a long time (Michael Schur, Megan Amram, Dave King, Joe Mande, Aisha Muharrar, Matt Murray and Jen Statsky) [author2] True. I think it just shows an overall love that everyone involved had for the show.

[author0] about as big as a regular hand maybe a little bit bigger [author1] And to add to what I already posted “rainbow adventures” was a company that used to make a lot of the larger ones. They are no longer manufacturing (I believe) but a handful are still available on second hand sites like eBay. [author0] thank you!!

[author0] Ralph I get why he called Christopher to help get rid of ralph since hes all about "only family can be trusted" and that Christopher is completely loyal to tony and looks up to him but why wouldnt tony fo called Paulie like dude already wanted ralph dead, wouldnt of questioned it at all, might of even been a little upset he didn't get to kill him himself😂 and I know someone will probably say "paulie talks to much he would tell johnny sacks" well I doubt it like paulie's been in this life forever and he knows better than that plus like mentioned before he already wanted ralph dead so why would he bring it up [author1] Paulie is old. He’s also from an era when mobsters didn’t cut guys into pieces. [author2] Paulie is from the era when mobsters loved cutting guys into pieces lol [author3] Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Conway Twitty.

[author0] Question about resource spawn. So I been trying to lock down a area due to over population of a creature I put down a tek generator and turrets which do the trick but the resources are no longer spawning do generators and turrets prevent spawn and if so how can I fix this. [author1] Not sure what the realism distance it set at where u are maybe pillars not sure [author0] I'm keeping the magma population down on our server to get element shards. They will spawn outside the generator pulse range but not near it. From what I understood free standing stuff didn't effect resource spawn.

[author0] Lendio Twitter: as of April 30 all approved ppp loans will be originated and funded by customers bank What in the world does this mean? We now have to wait for customers bank to reach out? [author1] I just received my SBA funding contract through Ready Capital. Signed and returned. Customer's Bank is the lender listed in the contracts. Ready Capital also sent an email earlier today stating they enlisted the help of community banks. They got some help to get these funded. [author2] So why did ready capital accecpt 40k loans knowing they could not fund them? [author1] Yeah obviously a mistake on their end for accepting too many. I don't really care at this point because there's nothing they can do at this point but pivot and try to get these all funded by whatever means necessary. At least they brought in some help to get it done. [author3] All this Lendio tweet says to me is.... We have been lying to all of you and stringing you along but we finally found someone who can actially fund your.loan. Just gonna take a couple more weeks. Please be patient. [author1] Honestly I think it was simply a lack of liquid capital. They literally didn’t have enough accessible capital to fund these which is why they’ve brought in another bank. They’re still processing everything, but the funding lender is now Customers Bank. [author3] Exactly what is was. They have been lying for weeks. Even having fake people claim to be funded already.

[author0] Times when someone was hitting on you but you didn't do anything back and now regret it Back in High School this guy in my class, his name was Shawn (very common name so I doubt he will see this), he was very cute, blond hair and blue eyes, he looked like he could of been on TV, and back then I was scared anyone would find out that I liked guys but multiple times he hugged me for no reason, would always try to talk to me and sit next to me, back then I was stupid and didn't think anything of it, and would of been to scared to do anything of it.
&#x200B;
Anyway it's been 9 years since I've seen him back in Grade 10 and I doubt I'll ever find him again. But that's something I think about time to time and regret not doing anything about it.
&#x200B;
What about you? [author1] I highly doubt that's anything to be concerned about. Lots of straight guys are like that. But yeah, there were times when i would have to play straight and uninterested. I just wasn't ready, so no i wouldn't regret it. [author0] He ran and hugged me from behind, very romantically to. Not getting straight vibes from that haha. [author1] You're ridiculous. This was 9 years ago. Lol not even gay people do that. Straight guys try to be funny especially when they're trying to be funny or "gay" on purpose with people they feel comfortable about. But who knows lol

[author0] What’s a thing you had to go through as child that you’ll make sure your own children won’t? [author1] Lack of early social engagement. It was an extremely rare treat for me to allowed to spend the night at a friends house or ever have friends over to my place. No internet or video games were allowed either. Didn't have my own cellphone and laptop till I left for college in 2012. Getting a car at 16 was the greatest freedom ever. I'm not mad at my folks for isolating me and my siblings like that. We didn't have a lot of money to do much. But there was a noticeable lack of effort to socialize us looking back. I'm positive it stunted my emotional growth in some way. [author2] Yeah I feel that one. Never really got to hang out with friends until high school. Had lots of trouble making friends and had a twisted view of what friendships are supposed to be like. Now I understand what friendship is, but I still struggle with forming lasting friendships. (20y/o male)

[author0] Unifi VLAN help Hello All. Hoping to get some firewall help with unifi controller.
I have a plex server running on my main corporate LAN. I have a TV assigned to VLAN 13. please see below for my firewall rules. Even with these, I can't load plex on my TV, however it is no problem to load plex on a computer on the corporate LAN. Note: the plex port group is 32400 and the IoT network is the VLAN 13. Also, the rules are posted in the index order as they are on the firewall. Any help would be greatly appreciated
[https://imgur.com/gallery/GoRZlJJ](https://imgur.com/gallery/GoRZlJJ) [author1] Did you configure the network in the plex config? You will have to allow the subnet if your vlan [author0] Can you say more? My corporate VLAN can talk to the IoT devices as long as corporate is the one that initiates the connection. So I think the issue is that the TV is trying to initiate the connection, that's why I added the allow 32400 rule [author1] In plex go to settings->Network-> and there LAN Networks and bellow list of IP addresses and networks that are allowed without auth
Also, I thing your firewall rule should only have destination the plex port, not source

I just got diagnosed with ADHD last year and Vyvanse has helped immensely. My psychiatrist is recommending Wellbutrin to help with my mood as it gets especially bad the weeks leading up to my period. I'm wondering if anyone else has gone this route. I have tried taking magnesium bisglycinate and calcium citrate to help but I might need some extra help with managing my moods. Does anyone else have a similar experience that can tell me if it helped to take an anti depressant for PMDD?

[author0] Just played and finished RE3 - it was fantastic and I loved it title
(love you jill, nemmy and hunters) [author1] There are dozens of us! DOZENS!! [author0] (Dozens as in, dozens of people who like the new remake?) [author1] Yeah, the game got mixed reviews but I had a good time with it! [author2] Most people loved it. The people speaking out are just loud.
There definitely is some valid criticism, but I don't think it should overshadow the experience the game gave us. [author3] No no it’s not a vocal minority, the game is average and lacking in content. [author4] It is a minority. 84 metacritic is not average, it's really good. Go outside of reddit and look at reviews, most outlets give it 8 or 9. It would have been nice to have had an extra segment or two but as it is it's a really good game. [author5] Except if you read half the reviews on metacritic like IGN, it's clear the reviewers are those who have not played the original Resident Evil 3 and are basing it off the previous R2make. Which is the problem within critiquing R3make, since you have some of the journalists who never played a Resident Evil game and the only RE game they touched was 2make, some who only played the modern series (4+), and some who did play the old games. But since the old games are so old, remaking them at this stage would lead to a review that doesn't accurately reflect a proper comparison to the actual base game and not basing it off R2make. You can easily see just how much of a difference there is when you compare it to other reviews from youtubers.
Meanwhile, you have the original RE3 fans posting numerous reviews and giving valid criticisms, rants and anger. Look at gamefaqs, twitter, obviously here, youtube and other social media. Even the Japanese fans who usually don't complain are not happy with the R3make either as the Japanese community is full of complaints towards Capcom.
So while metacritic may be saying 84, its clear where the fans stand. And if the fanbase/community don't matter anymore, then this trend is going to keep happening until the series dies. [author4] Of course there are people with different backgrounds who play and review the game. But their opinions are not lesser to those who have played the original. And in some cases that can be beneficial because you're not going hear that this game sucks because it doesn't have Jill in the RPD. They can look at the game on it's own without the burden of the original.
Valid criticism rarely goes hand in hand with angry rants. Which is why I rarely bother with community reviews. It's painfully obvious when the "community's" explanation of why the game doesn't start with you wandering around for an hour gathering random items is that the devs are lazy. Seriously go read some of the shit that's posted on the out of bounds exploration videos. It's on the level of "this building in the background must have been a cut boss arena! what a WASTE...……." You have the original which you can play whenever you want so I don't quite see the need to review bomb and shit talk the remake for being something new.
But you see, the fanbase does not consist of only those who are fans of the og games. Some people came along last year, some after 4, some now. They are fans too and they are a part of the community. I would argue that the og folk being the minority at this point is quite possible since those were a long time ago and the popularity of the newer titles. [author5] But you cannot ignore them regardless. Again, *Professional Journalists* who review games at this point may not have the experience of the older games, but some of these journalists are people who are writing reviews on a series they never played. Some of these have never played the original game, and are instead comparing to RE2 Remake. This is why you cannot ignore the community reviews because they do touch upon the differences between the original game and R3make.
Classic fans are the ones who originally played the original game, and they are ones who should be targeted for in making a remake. If not, what is the point of a remake then? Why remake an old game if not for the fans who loved the original game?
R2make was made in mind for the fans of RE2. You can tell from ingame they tried their best in re-adapting R2make to the modern standards, but at the same time missed the mark because they chose not to re-adapt the very thing that made RE2 so good back in the day, the zapping system. But the RPD, the graphics, the atmosphere, you can tell they tried their best to keep it in mind with the original RE2.
You compare that to RE3, and you can see exactly why the fans are pissed. Capcom did not make RE3 for the sake of the fans, but rather for *RE2 fans* because they thought RE2 fans, not the original RE3 fans, would want to follow up with RE3 despite RE3 having no connections to RE2 aside being in the same city. You cannot look at R3make and tell me they made this for the fans of RE3.
Hell, Look at FF7R, look at its reception. While there are still complaints from purists, it was still made in mind to the fans of the original game. And most of all, what did Square Enix do? Thats right, they released a remastered edition of FF7 so people can play the original before the Remake. What did Capcom do? Re-release everything BUT the original 2 and 3. [author4] That is exactly why you ignore most of the community reviews. Because a good game can be a bad remake or vice versa. And most people can not make that distinction and they say it's a bad game because it's not the same as the old one.
No they are not. If you like the original as it is, you can play it whenever you want. They have no obligation to you. It would be different if they erased the original from existence but that is not the case. The point of a remake is whatever point the maker had in mind. Maybe they wanted to make the game in different way so that people could have a different experience? Maybe they wanted to make it for a different audience than you? It is not a remaster, it is a remake, a different take on the original game.
Um, so RE2 was made with fans in mind while cutting the most important feature of the game? Seriously? And RE3 was not because you can't go inside the clock tower? Okay then. [author5] The point of remaking anything is if there is interest in it. That interest directly comes from the fans and community, not monetary interest or the maker. Yes its true the maker does have a large voice but a good maker will discuss it with the community to see if the remake is needed or not.
And remaking games or movies is good if done right. Movie-wise, we can see how bad remakes can get it. But in terms of games, I have yet to see more than 5 games being remade terribly compared to the original. None of the remakes I've seen removed content but rather added more content to the games while keeping it 1:1 as much as possible.
And yes R2make was made with the fans in mind. While the zapping system was gutted because they wanted a more direct narrative between Leon/Ada Claire/Sherry, they still kept the gameplay and atmosphere to represent the original game. Despite certain enemies being cut, there was still internal discussions revealed in whether or not to keep the ivies and Plant 43 in the game. There was huge focus on ensuring the zombies were as scary in the original. There was huge focus on updating the RPD while keeping to the original level design. While the heart is gone, you can still tell and feel like its RE2.
R3make, has none of that. Enemies, Level design, City design, atmosphere, narrative, characters all was changed for a TLDR story. Both exterior and interior are completely devoid of the original RE3 and it feels more like a standalone game with Carlos, Jill and Nemesis glued to it. There is nothing in R3make besides the basic plot points that makes it feel RE3 compared to R2make. [author4] I think with any business venture the monetary aspect is always there. Games are such a big undertaking for a studio that it would be disasterous to not consider if it's a good investment. I don't know if there was community pressure to remake the first but I do know that Mikami wanted the remake because he thought the og had aged badly and new players wouldn't like it. I think the notion that a remake is not allowed to remove something is nonsensical. First of removing bad things is improvement and second, once again, it is a new game and they have every right to make it a different experience. You have the original if you want it like it was.
Re3 has more story and character interaction than the og, similar focus on action, it features the notable locations of the original or incorporates elements of them along with new ones and has a more varied Nemesis so I really don't know how you can deem 2 the love child and 3 the forsaken. And you can certain that the devs talked about what to include, it is extremely common in game development to discuss what you're going to do. [author5] REmake was also proposed as part of the Capcom Five exclusive deals with Nintendo Gamecube as Mikami decided to make RE games on GC exclusively over Sony and PS2. A hapzard decision that would ultimately influence the direction of RE series.
No one really thought of remakes at that point in time, so having OG 1 being remade was a questionable decision that ultimately paid off for the fans, not so much for Capcom as the GC fared poorly compared to the PS2.
I never said remake is not allowed to remove something. Yes its part of the process, but a remake should not remove what the game was great on and replace it with something mediocre. That is the problem with R2make, in that by removing the zapping system you effectively gut what made RE2 stand out not just in RE series, but also in the gaming industry as well.
And I completely disagree R3make has more story and interaction compared to OG.
For one, UBCS. UBCS is only there to introduce us to Tyrell, Carlos, Mikhail and Nicholai. Murphy is there to further Nicholai's personality but there is no other interaction to this. The official website properly lists Nicholai's position in *Delta* Platoon as *Squad Leader B*. Mikhail is *Delta* Platoon Leader and Carlos is *Squad A*. Yet, the game does not properly reflect on this or touch upon it. All Mikhail says to you is that he is platoon leader and most of his platoon is gone. Yet Theres only 3 left in Delta Platoon, while Tyrell is said to be from Alpha Platoon in OG3. Most of all, Mikhail doesn't get character growth in R3make. OG3, Mikhail is shown to have survivor's guilt feeling angry at himself because he felt he abandoned his platoon by surviving the massacre that took place. Carlos also gets affected by the Outbreak, despite his cheesy and cheery personality, losing his Platoon Leader is what finally breaks Carlos into losing it at the Clock tower and it takes Jill bitchslapping Carlos back to reality while Jill finally acknowledges him not as an Umbrella Lackey but as a partner due to finding the evidence that backs Carlos at the clock tower.
For second, Nicholai. Nicholai is completely different in OG in that you were given hints of his true motive. The first hint was Murphy, in which you can see him with a laptop gathering data off Murphy's corpse. The second hint was at the cable car in which he refused to work with Jill knowing Nemesis was after her, and then finally at the hospital and park where you finally learn the truth behind him.
In R3make, he's turned into this main villain of making money, because he wants money. The supervisor subplot in OG 3 is reduced to "Hey I'll you pay more than Umbrella if you help us sabotage them!" but without any hint, build up, or interaction until the end of the game with just *1 file*. Oh and the Vaccine that would annihilate T-Virus and literally kill Umbrella? Eh don't know, don't care right? All you can tell from the game, is that he's an asshole who cares for himself. There's none of his OG self in R3make that made him a secondary villain next to the star of OG RE3 himself: Nemesis.
As for Carlos.. Well his model said it perfectly. He wanted a latin rambo, and we got a latin rambo. No hints of a rugged mercenary who fought in the jungles learning to operate variety of vehicles and living his life as a Guerilla fighter before transferring to UBCS, no hints of weariness despite him being in the city for *2days*.
And that's just the surface of everything wrong with R3make. [author4] The thing is there was stuff in 3 that wasn't so great. For example the entire beginning of the game before you get to the train. You are just running around based on which doors you can go through and gathering random items with no direction. Oh a car, let's grab this wire from it! Why? No idea. I think starting from the train was a good choice because it gives you a clear sense of direction from the get go.
Ah, what was the UBCS's higher purpose in the original? I think bringing up the platoons is extremely nit picky. It's totally irrelevant to the story which squad anyone is from. All you need to know is that Mikhail is the senior officer who's in charge.
"In R3make, he's turned into this main villain of making money, because he wants money."
Oh my god, he is not a main villain. And that's exactly the description that fits him in the original. He wants more money which is why he sells out. By the way you do get hints in he remake. The whole discussion between Nikolai and Mikhail in the train is a hint that perhaps Nikolai was doing some shady things. Funny the gate was locked? The wry smile? The talk about about Bard? Turns up dead afterwards, shot in the head just like Murphy. Hmmm, who might it be? Where are all the hints?? And by the way, "refuses to work with Jill knowing Nemesis was after her" is exactly what happens in the remake. But yes, he did seem to leave his laptop at home, suppose that's something.
"All you can tell from the game, is that he's an asshole who cares for himself. There's none of his OG self in R3make that made him a secondary villain next to the star of OG RE3 himself: Nemesis. "
You could clearly tell this in the original. He even told Jill that he's got zero interest in helping. For crying out loud.
Carlos in the original was nothing like a rugged mercenary. Just look at him! He's a latino teenager on his first mission hitting on ladies because they apparently love his accent. He can't handle it and constantly runs away. Remake Carlos is much more able and rugged, being able to do things like luring Nemesis into a trap. This is the guy who's got his head on straight and is not an amateur. Seriously what are you on about?
Since we're on the topic of story here's how there's more. Jill's apartment is 100% character building that was never there. The vaccine subplot. Expanded Tyrell. Expanded Carlos. Better writing. Better Jill x Carlos dynamic. [author5] The beginning does have a goal: Get to the cable car station.
When you first explore and do not know you have to go to the RPD, eventually you will find the entrance to uptown which informs you that you need a lockpick. This is where like MGS you have to think out of the game and remember Barry's infamous line of what he said about Jill. When that clicks, the RPD is the next destination.
RE1 players will know to immediately go for the RPD, while RE2 players may struggle here and be confused.
It is at RPD that you are given the goal before the clocktower, which is get to the cable car station, and get the cable car going after hearing Carlos on the radio, and meeting him in the restaurant or the press office.
UBCS did have a higher purpose in the original. They served as cannon fodder for combat data that Umbrella did not get from Wesker. As a direct consequence of failing X-Day, now you see Umbrella deploying their hired mercenaries as guinea pigs. You firsthand see the direct link of your actions in RE1, to the actions of Umbrella takes in RE3 for the purpose of completing their B.OW.s in order to sell them to the USG. You firsthand see these mercs suffer, in Carlos and Murphy. And platoons do matter, because it shows the scope of how many in UBCS were deployed. In the original game, 120 UBCS operatives split between 4 platoons were sent in to handle the outbreak.
Nicholai IS the main villain of R3make. You cannot call Nemesis the main villain anymore because he is not the one who drives the story anymore. It is not Nemesis who holds a gun to Jill, it is Nicolai. It is not Nemesis who forces Jill to fight it, it is Nicholai. The 2nd half of the game is all about Nicholai and Jill. Also the train and bard do not connect to his ulterior motive because there is no proper pacing to it. It's just random segments of Nicholai being an asshole that don't tie together to his ulterior motive, and instead you are given this shallow perspective of him simply being another typical greedy asshole.
While arguably can be said about the same in OG RE3 in terms of main villain.. Nicholai is still the 2nd villain here. He has the same objective as you, which is to get out of the city and depending on the choices you make before dead factory, you can either stop him from escaping, let him escape, or find him dead.
Nemesis continues to take center stage at the end and in a climatic fashion you finally kill the bastard that's been chasing you the entire game. It's not Nicholai forcing you to fight it like R3make, it's of your own will.
In terms of Carlos, I was never talking about original Carlos. I was talking about R3make Carlos. Yes the original Carlos was bad and they changed him in the R3make. But R3make Carlos is once again a latin rambo that doesn't help to drive the overall narrative. His entire squad wiped out, his friends all gone, only Mikhail is left. In OGRE3 you this emotional pain if you do not meet Nicholai with Murphy. Instead, it is Carlos shooting Murphy as Murphy starts turning, and you see hear the emotional pain in Carlos afterwards. In clock tower, you can hear the despair in Carlos as he completely loses hope. None of that is in R3make and instead you have Carlos the Rambo who simply shrugs off Nemesis like a boss and continues to be a bad ass until the end because the game doesn't give a damn about anything else. The only time you saw him show emotion was during Bard, but the fact that entire narrative was done through a webcam recording is pathetically sad in my opinion.
Jill's apartment? You mean the PTSD that was never explored? Because the monologue from OGRE3 did a much better job in setting the stage.
The vaccine subplot was terrible. Citys getting nuked if we dont get the vaccine, but city is nuked anyways without confirming if the vaccine made it out or not. Hell in terms of Bard, in RPD you hear him asking for STARS, yet in the *beginning* of the game in a *file STARS is disbanded*. The fact the devs did not double check this is hilarious itself. But in an *another file*, it was stated for UBCS to come rescue him at the hospital, but there is no other UBCS shown who may have tried to do that in the hospital when you get there.
Tyrell, I'll give you that. Still kind of disappointed that he wasn't the same as OG3, was expecting him to betray Jill/Carlos some point.
Writings worse in R3make. For example, Nemesis was out chasing Brad for 2 hours landing right next to Jill's apartment. Is there any panic in Brad's voice? No, he casually explains Nemesis then chases down a helicopter and gets karma'd from RE1.
The Jill/Carlos dynamic is subjective. But I do not think the dynamic in R3make was better than OG RE3 because the pacing was too fast in R3make. There is no time to build the dynamic and instead its trying to force it unlike OGRE3. [author4] What? Okay first of all the notion that you would need to remember a line from two games prior to know what you need to do is not very great in my opinion. Second, there is no reason to assume that Jill's lockpick would be at RPD. It could be at her house or disposed of since she hasn't worked there for a while at that point for example. At RPD you have no idea of the cable car, because it is not mentioned by Carlos on the radio. Or did I miss a file or something? Carlos also doesn't mention the cable car at the restaurant nor press office. He does say that they're rescuing civilians and asks Jill to join them but he doesn't say where. There's no direction.
And that's their purpose in the remake as well. Nicholai gathers combat data by pitting them against the zombies. It's the same thing! I think it's quite clear in the remake that there were more UBCS folk around. The actual number of them and, again, which squad Carlos or anyone was from is not relevant information.
Oh was it Nicholai who dropped Nemesis next to Jill's flat and programmed it to hunt her? Was it Nicholai who let Nemesis know where Jill is? He observed. You fight Nemesis. You escape Nemesis. Nicholai is there exactly like in the original, in a few cutscenes and a confrontation at the end. By the way in the original, the second half of the game after clock tower was entirely devoid of Nemesis until the end aside from the brief bridge moment. Wasn't much of a story driver there either? Nicholai's remake objective is also getting out the city alive. What are you talking about? If by Nicholai forcing you to fight Nemesis you refer to the acid fight where he steps on Jill's fingers, Nemesis was already there and Jill would have fought it anyway. After that you don't even see Nicholai before the end so the final fight was totally separate from him. You don't think the end of Nemesis was climactic? It mirrors the original. How much more climactic can you get than blowing him to sludge with a massive laser? I think you are reeeeeeally grasping at straws here.
Sure, Carlos wasn't as emotional as he was in the original. If you prefer that, that's fine. But I think it's clear that he cares about Jill and rescuing the civilians and I think the "rugged" Carlos, ramboish as he may be, fits the UBCS better.
But the monologue did nothing to add to Jill's character, which is something she really needed.
Jill of course knows that STARS has been disbanded but perhaps Bard doesn't? It seemed that the UBCS had their hands full and the hospital was kind of a chaos so perhaps no other UBCS made it to the hospital before Carlos to attempt a rescue? Anyway, the vaccine subplot was a lot more than the original and it kept the story going forward which was again lacking in the original.
Where did you get that Nemesis was chasing him for two hours? My understanding was that Brad was watching Jill's apartment and when the pod came down and Nemesis went after Jill he called to warn her.
Trying to force the dynamic? What does that mean? I think the arc of their relationship was quite clear. [author5] Yes, its not great for those who didn't play RE1 but this is RE3 with Jill Valentine. RE1 players are going to be familiar with Jill and know who she is and will know about her lockpick skills as mentioned by Barry's infamous line. Second off, the RPD would be a natural place to check considering she is STARS, a special forces unit assigned to RPD and that there is still an office of STARS if you played RE2. Again, this is based on prior knowledge needing to play RE1/2 but the game was for those who played RE1 and then played RE2 and wanted to know where STARS went since Chris, Jill, Barry, Rebecca are gone and why Brads now a zombie. While OGRE3 was never meant to be about Jill, it evolved to that during development so it became more for those who played RE1.
As for the cable car, I am corrected. I do not know why but I remembered it as Carlos mentioning the tram for some reason until I checked it again. Still despite that I prefer no direction over the linear hand-holding R3make does to you. OG RE3 focused on exploration that was the core of Resident Evil, and because you don't exactly know where to go, you explore the city looking for a way to escape it. Eventually you'll find the uptown door, which leads to RPD, which leads to you finding Carlos, then finding the tram station in various order and fashion. I much prefer this than the game hand-holding you like some tutorial and spoon feeding you where you need to go because that was never Resident Evil, it rewards you with a sense of accomplishment when you figure it out. Same thing with R2make, while there are prompts and the menu telling you your goal, it doesn't force you but gives you a hint on what you need to be doing. R3make is different in that it literally holds your hand the whole time. The only time it doesn't is the fire hydrant section.
Look again into the UBCS in R3make then. I count 6 UBCS, and only 6. Murphy, Carlos, Nicholai, Mikhail, Tyrell and the dead mercenary who committed suicide. Nobody else from UBCS shows up, and nobody attached to the UBCS is ever mentioned. Nicholai's mission of collecting combat data isn't even reflected or hinted because you only first meet him shooting Murphy in the head showing up behind you, then disappears until he shows up again with Tyrell. Again, the platoon and size matters because why on earth would you introduce an organization and not expand it? Every other game, does the sensible job of providing some background and the scope of the organizations involved. R3make completely skimps on the UBCS and doesn't give weight to them or just how bad their operation has gone. 120 operatives down to 4 operatives in just 2 days says alot and gives more impact to the desperate situation UBCS is put into. Again, this isnt the police, this is an army of highly trained experienced veteran soldiers turned mercenaries who just got their asses kicked. This of course, not counting Outbreak where Platoon Charlie was showcased.
Nicholai's R3make objective may have been collecting data off something (remember that file only says security and police forces, it doesnt mention UBCS atll) but in the end it boils down to Jill's combat data. If his goal was escaping, then he should've been long gone with the vaccine. Instead he sticks around and waits for Jill to finish her fight. It doesn't convey his need of leaving the city rather it simply conveys the greed narrative. Even at the end, he for whatever reason doesn't kill Carlos but knocks him out and again, waits for Jill because.. reasons. There is a perfectly fueled helicopter he could've used to get out but he doesn't. He continues to stay to negotiate with Jill and could've easily stranded them to die but could have also easily left. OG Nicholai is completely different because he literally will take off with the only chopper left leading to the 2nd ending with Barry that was removed in R3make. [author4] But why would the lockpick be at the office? If it was a personal item she would probably have it at home and if it wasn't it would have been confiscated along with the rest of her gear and been disposed of.
The free roaming thing works if you have an enclosed space like the mansion. You can't go out so you're left to see what this place is about. When you have a city setting and you're playing as someone who assumably knows the city inside and out, you need a reason why you don't just get out of town. Steal a car or take the alleyways or whatever. Also I don't think the remake is particularly hand holdy. In the original's map you have these big, blinking purple spots that pretty much say GO HERE. You just don't know why you're going there for the most part.
What I mean is that the exact number isn't relevant, all you need to know is that there were more of them and now their numbers have diminished, which I think is clear. Do you need to read it in a file or see a hundred bodies to think that maybe there were more police officers in Raccoon City than ten? You brought up that you're kinda supposed to have played the previous games so aren't you supposed to know that Umbrella is powerful and they would have sent more than 5 people even though if it's not specifically said? By the way where is the 120 from?
There was no need to kill Carlos at that point. He was knocked out so he wasn't a threat and he wasn't infected. We don't know how long Carlos was unconscious. Had the fight just ended? Maybe Nikolai heard Jill coming up the stairs and hid? There are moments in every game where you could have done something different but the story needs to happen. I was happy with the ending eventhough you could have enhanced Nikolai's survivalism or whatever if you wanted to but I thought confronting him face to face worked better than the chopper thing in the original. All in all I think it's fair to say that Nicholai is still very much recognizable from the original. They have the same purpose in the story, there are the hints of his true mission and the personality is similar. Maybe he comes off as more greedy in the remake but I think we are arguing details here.
Yes but if you're saying that Nemesis is not the story driver in the remake he certainly wasn't that in the original.
You have something like 10 encounters with Nemesis in the remake. For one, you can maaaaybe say that Nicholai forced it but not really. I don't think that single moment has anywhere near the power of ruining everything that came before or what comes after.
Nemesis literally blows up in the original because you shoot him with a massive laser. Of course the fight has a different mechanic because the game play is quite different overall but the event is clearly very similar. You also literally watch Jill close in on the squirming Nemesis to finish him off, not with a magnum but the laser gun. You also don't miss him twice he just takes a couple of hits before going down. It's subjective whether or not you find that to be more or less climactic than the og scene but it certainly is more climactic than the Nicholai finish who, according to you, is the main antagonist of the game.
Remake shows how the "badass" Jill was actually affected by what happened at the mansion and the aftermath. You see the nightmares and the pills, the shitty food and beer as she's preparing to leave town soon. You also get a peak into the things she likes outside of work. The og beginning has her deliver a stern monologue followed by her jumping through a burning window to shoot zombies. I think remake is the one that added to her character.
If I recall correctly the deal was that the nuke would be pulled off if they delivered the vaccine before the launch, which didn't happen. At the end, did Jill know that the nuke had been launched? It may have not mattered in practise since the nuke was on it's way but it still mattered to the characters if they thought there was still hope. The point is that you have a reason for doing things and going to places. And let's not kind ourselves; the original is a linear experience for the most part as is the remake. After clock tower you have to go to the park which leads you to dead factory. There's no choice there, the game shoves you down a tube. And I'm not holding it against it because the story needs to happen and it's not an open ended game.
Ah, I see. While I do agree they're not running away at full speed, I think there's some urgency and it's definitely not like the Leon/Claire gate conversation.
Well I'm assuming since Carlos was there that he saw for example the car coming down and Nemesis getting up like it's nothing and going for Jill again. Kinda persistent. He then proceeds to make a joke out of it. Considering all the things that Jill has had to go through in the last month or so because of Umbrella, perhaps she's got some attitude towards this Umbrella dude who's now saving her and hitting on her a bit. To me that makes sense. They aren't some instant best buddies, they get warmer after Jill gets to know that Carlos isn't an Umbrella crook. And yes, locations and things can indeed line up. How convenient that in the original this highly unusual gem just happens to be at RPD lockbox that just happens to open the way to the next area later? An amazing coincidence. There was a battery that fits perfectly into an elevator I need to access inside this statue I found? How weird. Also I find it peculiar that just before you pointed out that Jill is somekind of a badass that's affected by nothing and now when she hesitates to shoot because of Carlos it's a bad thing. By the way, if you were to shoot Nicholai in an arm for example it could go through and hit Carlos even though he's behind him. Also she's not exactly in an ideal shooting position, she just had a fist fight with Nicholai you know maybe she's tired and her hands aren't perfectly steady and he's constantly trying to squirm out of Carlos' grip. [author5] Why wouldn't the lockpick be in the office? Jill Valentine isn't Ada wong or Catwomen where her night job is to break into things. She's only got a lockpick because its her position and role in STARS as B&E specialist, Rear security. It's easier to assume she left it at the office, because it was STARS equipment. The reason Irons did not dispose of STARS gear, is because most of it was higher tech than the rest of the arms he could safely provide through RPD Budget. Remember, Umbrella invested heavily into STARS so their tactical gear would have still been better than SWAT who had to rely on RPD budget. SWAT would have most likely continued to use the equipment STARS left behind, but in order to monitor them per Umbrella's orders STARS kept their office. You can see this in the original intro where SWAT is deployed on their suicide mission armed with MP5s that most likely came from STARS armory.
And I disagree the free roaming doesn't work in RE3. With sufficient proper barricades or other means that cut off Jill's attempts to leave the city, eventually you can create a maze like system in a city environment and force the character to find the correct path upon logical and reasonable sense. I believe RE3 achieves this despite the technical limitations and give purpose to why you don't leave the city just yet through the tram quest.
https://archive.org/details/ResidentEvilArchivesVolume2Brady
The number of Operatives was given through Biohazard/Resident Evil Archives. Project Umbrella has an incomplete listing of it so I have a PDF of the US version here. Specifically PDF page 258. US Version has mistranslation issues however, as it was meant to be platoons not squad.
But yes, numbers do matter in my opinion. It helps convey the situation, and it can also give background to the organizations involved. For example, in the original game, RPD was said to have withstood the outbreak due the elite trained SWAT holding the fort. When Irons forced the SWAT into a suicide mission, that is when the RPD became overrun because the beat cops could no longer handle it themselves leading to the zombie and licker infestation. Not to mention the various police officers that were sent outside of the RPD to try and gather civilians to RPD or attempting to cut off the horde in main street (Outbreak). By having this information out, you could then see why Marvin and 2-3 other police officers are the only ones left in RPD and not question why there is a lack of officers in RPD. Same applies to UBCS , because then you can see the UBCS wasn't a tacked-on description to Mikhail and Carlos but rather see that such a large paramilitary force got cut down to 3 members in just 2 days (Again excluding outbreak).
For Carlos, again its how Nicholai was presented in R3make. Remember, Nicholai scolded Jill for not having a sense of self-preservation, and reiterated that point in the subway by saying Jill was starting to learn. He again, reflects on this during the final battle. So for Nicholai then to do a 180 and simply wait for Jill and not kill Carlos feels disconnected to how he was presented. It doesn't make sense to me that a man who cares about himself, who cares about surviving, whos an asshole would then just completely ignore all of that and do the opposite for no reasons provided.
6 encounters in R3make compared to 8 in Original. Substation chase (Which includes Parasite scene and Sewer chase as they are all linked together), Fire boss, Rocket chase, Plaza, Acid, Final.
And yes Nemesis did serve to drive the story. He sets the story by arriving in RPD killing Brad, which Jill has to either run or fight. He continues to chase Jill into the RPD and pushing the player forward by not staying in one place and continues to pressure the player from staying in one place for too long. He continues this trend until the clock tower, where he shoots down the extraction chopper cutting off Jill's escape and forcing her to fight after infecting her along with the tram quest to get to the clock tower. At dead factory, he served as the final boss of the game.
Nemesis is still intact after the laser, except his size becomes smaller in the final magnum scene though. But yes, you do miss with the laser twice in R3make because the first shot hits his carapace above his head, and the 2nd shot grazes his shoulder (You can see the shot go through the wall as you climb the ladder after the battle) which brings him down for a final guaranteed hit.
Nicholai's ending was climatic in a way it was supposed to end for him. For a man who was willing to do anything for money, he was now willing to give that all up just to live. Yet, he could only stare in disbelief that there was someone who never was motivated by money or greed, but rather justice. In his last moment of desperation, he tries again this time trying to use that justice but Jill once again turns him down, leaving Nicholai completely defeated and confused as he is left stranded alone. It feels anti-climatic compared to Nemesis, because once again this ending could have fit with the original intro's monologue. "Once the wheels of Justice begins to turn, nothing can stop it.. Nothing". Jill was unstoppable, because her self preservation wasn't motivated by greed like Nicholai but Justice. Justice for STARS, Justice for RPD, Justice for Raccoon City. She was never going to stop until she and Chris brought Umbrella down. It's just that R3make woefully does not do this at all or build on this, instead cutting most of it out for a streamlined experience that is unfortunately empty.
In terms of nightmares, again underused. I can see where they are trying to come from, making it seem like Jill is afraid of being infected. But instead I would have rather had Jill having nightmares about Joseph or Kenneth, where she is tormented by those images because if PTSD and nightmares were used at all aside from 2 cutscenes, those are the 2 impactful moments from REmake. Staring at the mirror in the beginning, but instead of her reflection we see the Zombie Joseph or Kenneth slowly turning his head mirroring the RE1's zombie intro as it lunges out of the mirror to grab Jill forcing her to wake up. I think that would have had better impact than just her shooting herself with a *glock* turning into a zombie. As for her apartment, I feel like they could have done more with it like the pizza untouched since her note states she hasn't been eating lately. The fridge could have been empty, signifying her intentions of leaving the city, boxes of RPD materials strewn about, pamphlets and maps littering the floor as she continued Chris's investigation into NEST and Umbrella. Again, subjective details but I feel like they could have done a better job here when they used it. It would have added more as you say, but the way they implemented it doesn't add anything to her in my opinion aside from the pills which don't convey much when PTSD is hardly touched. The game tries to start you off with a Jill thats suffering, but then it never touches that point again except for 1 segment which makes no sense at all. Between all of that, is GI-Jill kicking ass and taking no names. So the intro and the rest of content completely clash with each other.
With nuke launch, thats my point. R3make sets it so that the vaccine is needed to stop a nuclear launch but it never goes beyond Tyrell's death. You get the vaccine, but there's no moment in between that and the ending where you can get any sense of progress towards that goal. There is no moment where Jill stops to think how long the launch is going to be, how much time she has left or whether stopping the nuclear launch is the right idea. Instead you are shoved down an action sequence until the end where you learn that the missile is already on its way. The only countdown you are given is Tyrell's Hours comment. Yet, the missile is 10 minutes away in the ending. So quite honestly again in my opinion, a badly written subplot that was never used at all.
As for Carlos, it still doesn't explain why he was there if he was out looking for civilians with a *rocket launcher*. Why would Carlos need an anti-tank heavy weaponry if he was looking for survivors? That's my point. Also, where did that rocket launcher come from? Was he on a different mission heading back to the station having to deal with something stronger than a zombie when he stumbled upon Jill?
For their relationship, again what connects them together? What is the defining moment where Jill knows Carlos isn't like the rest of Umbrella employees? Because I don't see that aside unless you mean the gas station moment, where it felt forced because there was no interaction involved up to that point. There was no moment in time where we get to see Carlos from Jill's perspective doing what he says, saving civilians. The only person Carlos saves is Jill, but even that moment is removed because when you wake up as Jill, only Tyrell is there to greet you while Carlos runs off somewhere in NEST 2.
Also my point on the ending. For whatever reason, Jill cannot shoot Nicholai because of Carlos but up to that point was a one-lining badass. She like Nicholai does a complete 180 on their character presented and now has a a personality change for some reason. She also wasn't the one in the fist fight, that was Carlos. She was merely kicked away from Carlos by Nicholai and was held at gunpoint at which Carlos wakes up just in time to fight Nicholai and knock his gun away to Jill. Right here, you'll actually see Jill take a shooting stance that actually can help her steady her aim and maximize accuracy but instead they ruin it by having her all of the sudden mope about Carlos and forcing you into an unneeded action sequence from COD. [author4] A lockpick is not high tech gear and aside from Jill who would be able to use it? And why would Irons just toss it on her desk? If he was going to keep it at least he would store it in a safer place. By the way, I think I forgot to mention this regarding Bard and the STARS; at least where I'm from, inner police business is very rarely news. They could disband all of the special units and make up new ones and nobody in the public would know. As far as SWAT goes, STARS was replaced by Select Police Force. I don't know if they are interchangeable but you could have regular SWAT and then the more search and rescue specialized STARS as a separate entity.
So, there is no mention of the number in the actual game and you have to read it from a strategy guide? What was your point then??? You don't know it in the og and you don't know it in the remake but remake is bad??? For crying out loud.
My point is that in the beginning you have nothing. The whole segment makes no sense in the original because you have no reason to pick up those strange items and wonder around the town. Eventually finding the train gives you purpose but Jill did not know it beforehand. The only segment in the game that makes sense is train -> clock tower -> hospital. Outside of that it's aimless wandering along a set path gathering weird items.
Eh, I count more. Depends a little on how you separate the encounters but you definitely missed a few. Jill's flat, rooftop, after power station, tentacle thing and bait, flamethrower, fire boss, rocket chase, train, clocktower, lab Tyrell, lab vaccine, acid boss, final boss. By that count it's 13.
And he drives the story in the remake! I was referring to you saying that Nemesis doesn't drive the story in the latter half, instead it's Nicholai. In the og you see him even less, but apparently no that's not the same thing obviously he drives the story and gameplay magnificently in the original.
Oh yes he explodes but a tiny blob is left of him. How different.
The remake does not build it or explain at all yet you are able to explain it so nicely? Of course. Perhaps, because Nicholai is not the main villain of the game, his end is not supposed to be on the same level as Nemesis?
It was Carlos who shouted to Jill to get to the rooftop so clearly he could see her and track her movement. Maybe he saw Nemesis as well going after her? Carlos' rocket laucher could have been Umbrellas. They were given C4 explosives so I don't really see a rocket laucher as that pecualiar. But if we are going to go head to head og vs remake regarding weird items, I assure you og is going to lose. Why is there a battery in a statue? Why is there a rocket laucher in the dead factory? Why are there hunter tubes in the basement of the hospital? But we don't really need to go there, do we?
The beginning doesn't add anything to her?? Okay then. Why would there be someone else in the mirror? The point of a mirror is that it reflects you. Of course it's her because she's afraid of being infected. I think the half eaten pizza and unfinished soup are quite clear in pointing out that she hasn't been eating particularly well. Emptying the fridge like four prior to moving isn't such a great idea because then you have nothing to eat for four days and I don't see why she would have a ton of boxes lying around since I think she's planning on more like getting out of town than packing all her stuff and getting a company to haul her things. The notes and such are on the wall instead of the floor where you can organize them in a sensible manner. It's a small flat if they were on the floor she would constantly walk all over them and mess them up. After the intro is she supposed to have an episode in the middle of being chased by Nemesis? It's brought back later when she's dreaming, when else? And if that's not enough, how many times should it have been brought up? And if you think that she wasn't a bad ass zombie slayer in the original I don't know what kind of glasses you had on when you were playing it. The bottom line is in the original there was nothing implying she was distressed or affected in anyway and in the remake there clearly is. This is getting silly.
Could the vaccine plot have been written better? Sure. I'm not going to say that it was the best set piece ever coined but I thought it was decent and it served it's purpose. Especially considering that the og had absolutely nothing there. You get the vaccine to Jill and then it's back to aimless running around until you get to the end.
I guess all their interaction before doesn't count as interaction. If Carlos had stayed with Jill until she comes about you would have said that he abandoned his mission for Jill kinda like what you said about the RPD. No winning I guess.
There's been some interesting things here but I think it's quite clear you think the remake doesn't do anything right even when it adds things that weren't there before. It feels like at this point it's getting to stupid nit picking and kinda blatant disregards that don't really serve any purpose. So thanks, I guess. [author5] The lockpick is *still* part of Jill's profession. You are missing the damn point. Their uniforms and their equipment, yes *including* Jill's lockpick, would have been issued to them as part of their jobs and where else would it be other than their office. As part of her *profession*, it would make complete sense any and all STARS equipment she had would be kept inside the office in case STARS was ever called back to service. The only gear she had on her was her standard-issued custom M92F handgun which was her official sidearm both On and off duty.
Again with STARS, yes it would have made news. STARS was chosen over SWAT initially because Umbrella had need of a local special forces unit outside of U.S.S. that they can control due to the issues of rising corporate espionage and domestic terrorism. As Umbrella's pet project, and as witnesses to Mansion Incident there would and should have been notices from Umbrella immediately to warn U.S.S. and other top personnel in Raccoon City facilities to keep an eye out for them in case they chose to investigate privately. It would have also made local news, as STARS was announced through Mayor Warren's Bright 21 Campaign of revitalizing Raccoon City and thus any political opponent of Warren would have used it against him when a special forces unit all of the sudden disbands because it lost 7 members overnight.
Biohazard Archives was not a strategy guide, it was an artbook that encompassed additional and further information to the game. My point still stands, as while we never got the full numbers of how many were deployed in the outbreak ingame, we still got an idea of the size involved when we learn about Delta Platoon and subsequently Charlie Platoon from Outbreak. And yes, while you may have a point here, remember this was the early 90's, and most of all this a Japanese game. It was standard practice back then for them to provide additional background information through guidebooks and artbooks due to the technical limitations at the time and as a way to give players more ways to interact with the franchise other than games. R3make has no excuse in this because they could have easily done this but did not do so.
And you miss the point of Resident Evil then, or at least the devs intentions. You are not meant to know exactly how to get out of the city, but to explore the city for a means of escape. Jill had chosen to stay in the city during the outbreak despite it ongoing for 4 days, and by this point any usual means of escape would have been cut off. So Jill would have been forced to change plans in terms of how to escape and explore to find a way out of the city. You were supposed to see Raccoon City torn apart from the T-Virus, to see how the virus would be outside of the Mansion and inside the city. The worst nightmare you thought you had dealt with, now happening again this time in a city wide level. That is the entire point of the game, or else you would end up with a linear action game from point A to B... Oh wait, R3make accomplishes that for you.
Apartment is Introduction, its a cinematic chase scene not an encounter. Encounters are those you are given a choice to fight or flee. As I wrote before, Powerstation and Nemesis parasite is Chase 1. It is the longest encounter with Nemesis and the only time he will freely chase should you opt out of exploring the optional areas in Toy shop and Market before entering the substation. Again, Rocket Launcher is Chase 2 while flamethrower is part of the Flamethrower boss fight 1. Train, Lab, Vaccine are again cinematic scenes not encounters.
Yes Nemesis drives the story in the original magnificently. He's the one who shows up at the RPD, he's the one who chases you and cuts your conversation with Carlos short. He is the one who causes the tram to de-rail and crash. He is the one who shoots down the extraction chopper. He is the one you fight as the final boss. The entire game was built around Nemesis, which is why his name is in the title unlike R3make.
But Nemesis does not the drive the story in the R3make. It's Jill crashing a car into Nemesis, Carlos saves Jill, Mikhail sends Jill on a fetch quest, Mikhail crashes the train due to Nemesis, Carlos saves Jill again with the Vaccine, but it was not Nemesis who drove the story at this point here but rather the Vaccine subplot of Tyrell, which Carlos gets started on. Jill then chases Carlos, ends up having to deal with Acid due to Nicholai, and once again has to deal with Nemesis because Nicholai stalled Jill in a stand-off although arguably one can say nobody would've expected Nemesis to still be alive at that point.
The tiny blob is significant because of its namesake of being the pursuer. Despite losing its Tyrant body the parasite still continues onwards on its mission to kill Jill. Despite hoping the laser, built to eradicate G-Monsters, would finish off the parasite it still lived. It's persistence in surviving and trying to kill Jill is what makes that tiny blob significant as it now longer can function as a threat, but as a nuisance finally able to be finished off for good. A final, satisfying period to the Nemesis.
Indeed Nicholai is not meant to be the main villain of RE3 but R3make makes him it. In the OG RE3, he's gone before you fight the Nemesis one final time. In R3make, hes still there for whatever reason rather than getting out alive with a massive fortune in his hand. Literally the vaccine is in his hand now and he chooses to flounder about for Jill for no reason but to serve as plot device.
It was not Carlos who told Jill to get to the garage rooftop but the civilian chopper extracting civilians out of the city. For whatever reason the chopper chose to ignore Brad but somehow circled back and spotted Jill running around. Quite honestly, I don't even know why Mikhail would have C4 with him considering their entire mission was search and rescue, not demolition. I will agree with the battery in the statue, but the rocket launcher was due to dead factory being a biowaste disposal facility for NEST. Its safe to assume aside from the chemicals used to get rid of the waste from NEST they also had other heavy weaponry should anything still alive ends up being dumped into the disposal facility and escapes the Acid Pit. The Hunter Gammas were in the tubes because they were captured and sedated, stored in the private laboratory underneath the hospital. As seen here in the [guidebook](http://projectumbrella.net/articles/BIOHAZARD-3-LAST-ESCAPE-Official-Guidebook-Complete-Conquest-Nemesis#HUNTERgammaPage074).
The point of a mirror may be reflecting yourself, but it was used in the nightmare scene to introduce us to how Jill looks in R3make. But my point in reflecting someone else, is have to shock value in the nightmare rather than just seeing this weird becoming infected scene. Jill is afraid of being infected, but then Chris, Barry, Rebecca, hell even Brad has no mention of that fear anywhere else in the game. It's only Jill, and only in that nightmare scenario unless you count Carlos nightmare. That is why I mentioned one of the 2 impactful moments from Jill's perspective from the previous game that could have been used to referenced the previous game better and give us a more shocking nightmare introduction. Joseph getting mauled and Kenneth getting his throat ripped would have scarred anyone, and this would have been a better way to introduce us to her PTSD and nightmares over some miniscule reference that is never hinted or referenced by other STARS members much less even acknowledge them aside from STARS office. That is my entire point. They had 2 easily identifiable moments from RE1 they could have referenced but instead chose the infected scene that doesn't translate to anything outside of that one little moment. It doesn't do anything else, other than give us a hint that Jill is suffering even after 2 months yet once gain, no reference to the other members who are long gone from the city aside from Brad.

[author0] Never forget. [author1] THB I wouldn't have mind a new gen of legendary heroes but come on +3 HP is nothing compared to the +5 HP the mythics give along with the stat boost
IF not HP least get ride of it for +3-4 to a stat [author2] Mythic buffs only works in AR
Legendary buffs works everywhere as long as you are in correct season [author1] Even more reason to just give a better stat buff rather then +3 hp

[author0] Does anybody know which fore-grip this is? Or point me toward something similar? Building out my paratrooper Norinco SKS and NEEDED to have this grip after I came across this picture. It's just too sexy. Any help is appreciated! Thanks! [author1] Looks grainy as hell but are you sure it’s not 3d printed? Looks similar to the millions of designs here https://www.thingiverse.com/search?q=Foregrip&type=things&sort=relevant or it could be remixed off a design or custom modeled.
Edit: side note, I do not approve of your choices, but- freedom. [author0] Man, thank you so much! Crazy you plugged the Thingiverse link too. I actually have an Ender 3 on my way! Just might try to print myself one. Seriously, thanks a ton! [author1] Aye no problem, good luck, I keep my ender 3 cranking all the time. [author0] Ever tried any sort of gun printing? I was thinking about taking a stab at printing a Glock 17 lower frame [author1] I’m in NJ so of course ive never ever tried anything illegal of that sort- ever. Ivan is the man though, so many awesome links on his site, just wish I could try them out. Definitely work out your printing kinks on the printer before doing anything that can blow up, the 3d printing subreddits are pretty helpful. [author0] Man, I super appreciate the tips. Who is this Ivan you speak of? Haha you have sparked my curiosity. Definitely going to get to where I know what i'm doing before anything like it! Lucky to live in the wonderful 2A friendly state of AR. The ability for you to aquire alcohol on Sunday's has me envious though. Gotta love the south lol [author1] Pretty sure this is “the guy” who posts and develops all these frames and what not https://www.reddit.com/r/guns/comments/g5km2x/3d_printed_hipower_frame_live_fire_testing/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf yeah I’d get out of here if I could, i’ll likely be stuck here for a good 20 more years.

[author0] These two connect to eachother for my Led light but keep losing contact. Can I just solder the wires together [author1] It is just a connection. You can solder the wires together, but you need to connect the right wires together... one is positive and one is negative. [author0] Thanks for the reply, what would be the best way to figure out which wires go together. Would I be safer to solder or use a wire nut? Or is there a better way [author1] I would expose part of each wire in each cable (being sure not to short any bare wires together) and measure the voltage between the wires with a multimeter. If the voltage is positive, then I know which wire is positive. Can do that to find the + wire for each cable.
Could also try to determine which wire is connected to which part of the barrel plug to match them up.
As for how to connect the wires, solder and properly insulate with electrical tape or shrink tubes is probably best. Though the current is probably low enough that it doesn't matter too much as long as you twist the wires together and insulate them so they don't short on anything.

[author0] If pro lifers want to discourage ppl from aborting disabled babies they should offer places to take care of them if they can’t take care of them. This post is not about pro life vs pro choice more about setting up places for disabled ppl.
This is for severely disabled not things that are barley noticeable.
Not everyone can handle a disabled child. This is a fact. If they are to disabled for adoption, there should be special homes set up to hose them for life. This is just true. [author1] You just shouldnt have sex without a condom if you dont want that. And if you re not willing to take that risk, than just dont have any sex at all. [author0] This was not supposed to be about pro life vs pro choice I even listed that I’m asking do ppl agree with the homes for disabled ppl. [author1] Yeah I just wanted to say that with it. Its a choice to get pregnant so its your own problem. No homes paid by taxes. [author0] Yes the homes will be paid for by taxes. [author1] Yeah exactly, thats why I dont want them. [author0] Cheap. More important pro life charities could fund them but no..... [author1] Why would they, fuck them who wanted premarital sex without condom.

[author0] Georgia Tech and BU Working with Chegg to Identify Students Who Used it During Final [https://www.ajc.com/blog/get-schooled/georgia-tech-warns-physics-students-who-cheated-admit-risk-failing/3iQOCvBiwuqEXQivS63VqK/](https://www.ajc.com/blog/get-schooled/georgia-tech-warns-physics-students-who-cheated-admit-risk-failing/3iQOCvBiwuqEXQivS63VqK/)
&#x200B;
not sure how I feel about this honestly. it's a really desperate time and I can't even imagine how many McGill students' futures would be in jeopardy if the university did something like this.
EDIT: not condoning cheating by any means - just think it’s crazy some of the lengths universities are going to punish students 1) during a global pandemic and 2) when there wasn’t really an authoritative guide or non ambiguous ruling on what to do and what not to do on an “online, open-note” exam [author1] One thing I'm curious though, if Chegg gives the IP adress of those who accessed questions, wouldn't people just use a VPN?
(I'm assuming IP is really the only method of identification of users) [author2] I’m pretty sure they don’t use IP at all.
The primary method of identification is just the names on the account, but if it’s a fake name or something then they use name from the payment information. [author3] I heard that a professor created a unanswerable question on the exam, uploaded the exam to Chegg with an answer for that question, and any of the students who had the same answer as on Chegg would get a 0 [author4] I mean I gotta give it to the prof, that's really clever. [author5] Clever, but pretty unethical. It's kind of like police entrapment. [author6] depends on if it was clearly taught in the course that problems of that type were unsolvable [author5] Agreed, but if the difficulty of the question is such that it could reasonably expected to take an average student in the course more than an hour to solve, I think it could still be disqualified. I'm basing that off of the Faculty of Science's official guidelines about giving a 3 hr exam over 3 days. It's not fair to give problems that violate the set rules even if they're technically solvable.
