  The 3ds remake had MGS4 controls including third person shooting. I was surprised to see both crouch walking and first person “classic” aiming.

  This is visually impressive but with what they’re showing in gameplay, it doesn’t look much like 4 or 5 like I think I expected? The aiming looks like it’s the 2 and 3 style of stop, hold aim, move gun. That said, it also showed crouch walking which isn’t in 3. I’m curious how similar or different it plays.

  My big points to hit for a remake would be an improved camo and surgery system. The original game has you pressing start a lot. Like a lot. Having a quick menu for camo would be gigantic. Surgery right now is mostly, you’re in a boss fight and got hit, now pause and see if you ran out of bandages yet.

  I’m a practicing prosthetist in the US. Myoelectric hands are nothing really that new and even getting control over the hand by surgically dropping an emg directly into the muscle groups (though their diagram implies they did something different) isn’t terribly groundbreaking. The FDA had that technology in animal testing right around the start of the pandemic, from what I remember talking to an engineer working on a project.

  For me, the exciting part is the osseointegration through the forearm. Osseointegration has been going on since like the 90s, but for a long time it was only through the femur. The first reason is really that the West has way more lower limb than upper limb amputations which is a different story. The second reason is that the femur is a big bone with a lot of interior space for an implant to anchor.

  Recently I’ve been seeing transtibial osseointegration surgeries being performed, which has been a pretty big deal. This is the first I’ve seen of it being done to a transradial.

  I will definitely be reading more about this at work tomorrow.

  The answer: a malicious contributor added hate speech to the Ukrainian translation. ISO will cover back up once they can go through all of the files and make sure there isn’t any they didn’t find at first.

  A crown prosecutor told the court the woman’s role in the plot was to obtain the drugs for Knudson to sell inside the prison, where a single strip of buprenorphine can fetch close to $1,000.

  As said in the article, yes. Prison prices.

  Be careful what you wish for. We all really wanted Kingdom Hearts 3

  Disney has been involved with video games since the late 80s. Recently they were involved with Disney Dreamlight Valley and the new Illusion Island.
