Regular jewelry grade gold is always mixed with silver and copper for the sake of that improved toughness. All wedding rings and such have that formula. Nickel is a common allergen, silver and copper aren’t.

You can always use a harder gold alloy; mix in some silver and copper, and you’ll get decently hard metal for sitting purposes.

No, they just copy-pasted a visual effect they thought would look cool from some reference source without checking its purpose or implications.

I doubt that they wanted to do it. Some dev was probably just looking for visual references and copy-pasted the effect without sparing half a thought to where it came from or how it could effect the players. I suspect that it’ll be quickly removed in a patch, now that it caught people’s attention. 

Only Neuromancer is a cyberpunk story. The other two are post-cyberpunk. That being said, you are of course correct, that a cyberpunk story can possess meaning and substance. “Style over substance” is an in universe creed, not a narrative choice.

Many reviewers have said that the animations start out as clumsy-looking, but become more sophisticated as you gain skill levels. The same reviewers have said that a melee build is viable, but that the melee combat isn’t as polished shooting, and lacks a tactile sensation. 

There’s always Lovecraft Country.

I wasn’t trying to shame you, I was just surprised that that of all things had gone past you, since to me it’s seemed for the past two years that it’s the only thing that most people seem to have heard about this game. 

Not really. They’ve been advertising it for two years, now. 

Of course I haven’t played this yet so I can’t confirm anything, but CDPR said before that they specifically didn’t want to fill the map with icons this time around, since in The Witcher 3 it made people feel compelled to run into every single one, when they wanted the experience of those small locations and…

Also, it seems way too heavy on the super-gory, numbers-laden shooter-action. I hope, I can still play it non-lethally, by stealth and intelligent role-playing (dialogues etc.).

to me it was a dragon age inquisition clone but worse in almost every way.

I replace my computers piece by piece. I usually manage to sell the individual compontents that I replace online, but those that won’t sell end up in a recycling center where they put computers together from donated parts and sell them extremely cheap.

Yeah, that’s the guy. 

I guess. I don’t remember any names from that book. 

The ending of Timeline boggled the mind. Our alleged heroes committed a cold-blooded murder on a man who had done nothing but help them at every turn, for no apparent reason, and it was at that point that the reader was supposed to see this guy as a villain, even though he hadn’t done anything villainous.

The closest counterpart would be when Inspector Dreyfus went insane and started hallucinating the Pink Panther character at the end of one of the films. can’t remember which exactly, just as the end credits rolled.

Not really. I can understand being passionate about something, but fanning the flames of anti-intellectual conspiracy theory to get what you want isn’t all that ethical. And he didn’t even survive to enjoy the experience. 

Depends on the flat-earther. Like all conspiracy theories, they have endless varities that argue endlessly amongst themselves over which ones are holders of the true secret wisdom and which ones are pathetic sheeple duping themselves.

That guy’s obsession wasn’t flat Earth but flying rockets. He was willing to pay a lip service to any group that was willing to fund his hobby.
