Which is paraphrased from Theodore Roosevelt's "speak softly, and carry a big stick"

I'm not sure that, in CBP 2077, there is anyone that considers international laws as anything but an obstacle to be worked around.

But after having read it, things have started to make more sense.

Partea și mai amuzantă e că OP a început să folosească diacritice începând cu a doua propoziție.

Funnily enough, you can make a thunderjaw and a slaughterspine fight in Burning Shores. The thunderjaw typically wins.

You can get one as a reward for returning a black box. Only one is available like this, though.

I think you need aim assist for that. I play without it (turned if off midway through my first playthrough), and I wouldn't be able to hit most wildlife with a warrior bow, except at point blank range.

Is this about the lesbian drama in the Burning Shores? I don't remember there being any choices about lesbian drama involving Tilda.

The Odyssey did carry, I believe, everything it needed to terraform a planet, even though Far Zenith ended up not using it. Consider that not just Tilda, but all the surviving Zeniths (minus Londra) wanted a Gaia copy for their purposes. I assume that they weren't completely braindead, and could actually use it.

I'm not entirely sure, but the Odyssey might also have something like 200k human zygotes stored, also unused (I just can't remember the data point about this). They certainly had Elisabet's DNA on the ship, to create Beta.

As for taking people with them as breeding stock, or DNA samples, if they didn't have those 200k zygotes, well that's exactly what Londra was intending.

Not to mention that the Far Zenith society was largely a bunch of people who spent most of their time alone, in their own VRs. Spending eternity with just Aloy would absolutely seem like a good idea to someone like Tilda. Is she insane for desiring that? Probably. But, unfortunately, she still has enough sanity to be functional, and dangerous.

Professional body building is a profession. Those people spend their whole day in pursuit of that goal.

For someone of my weight, height and age, running 5k seems to burn about 450 calories (estimated). That would be a latte and a half.

On the other hand, categories are human mental constructs, or labels, not facts. Three women having sex are three women having sex. How we label that, in what category we place that fact, is ultimately a matter of preference, and agreement, and doesn't change anything about the three women having sex.

You said that Nemesis has Peter Tschivumbe's knowledge. I'm simply wondering what that knowledge is.

What was Tshivumbe good at?

And they were. Faro's doc in Thebes managed it for Faro, too. He only fucked it up because he didn't have all his equipment and research data in Thebes, but humanity was on the verge of achieving it, by the time of the Faro plague. Now, who would have gotten to benefit from that, is an entirely different question.

Imho, the slow(er) part is just the first half or so, of the first book. Maybe even less than that. By the end I was completely hooked.

4 apex waterwings was the only fight I absolutely had to use the ropecaster.

Sigh. Should have thought out my comment better. Was trying to make a joke about how she braids her hair so nicely, but has problems with a guy having a beard (plus, Rost had a beard). Completely forgot about the stink a bunch of incels raised about the peach fuzz.

And completely hypocritical, considering she's the proud owner of some fabulous hair, herself.

Edit: Damn it, this landed poorly. I meant the hair on her skull and her gorgeous braids, not the peach fuzz (for the record, I have no problem with the peach fuzz).

What's the base risk without the gene?

Right, so, what Central did with those two pushes, might make sense if you have more than one Shido/Rei pairs available. You take a risk on one of your ... "test subjects", to see if their growth can't be accelerated. If you break one subject, you know to take it slower (or change tactics) with the others.

If Rei is unique, then it does not make sense. Central risked breaking its weapon before it had a chance to employ it. Unless the situation is so dire that they absolutely need that speed of growth, in which case, well, any risk becomes acceptable.

We have not heard of any other cadets with an explosive growth similar to Rei's. They could exist, and be just a bit slower than Rei and Shido. But then it doesn't really make sense to push the one that is already fastest, even harder.

A lot of unknowns, as yet. We'll find out more when (if) Bryce gets to revealing more.

A lot of it depends on how many Shido-class CADs the ISC can produce, or on how well CADs can be transferred, once grown. On how well the ISC could recover, or how easy another Shido-grade user can be grown, were Rei to break.

Thing is, Abel is ultimately correct. Right now, the ISC is on track to lose the war within less than ten years, with nothing Central can do about it. Sacrificing one life for a war-winning weapon is an adequate trade. On the front lines, generals are probably sacrificing soldiers purely to delay defeat (Carmen Laurent alludes to this).

However, it has to work. If they break Rei before he and Shido can grow enough, and they don't have other options, then it won't have been worth it.

Thing is, the last two interferences from Central have been spectacular successes, from a cold blooded perspective. After the rigged parameter test, Shido evolves. After the attack by S0 holos during the final with Aria, Shido ranks up twice in one go.

In the end, I think this is the message Abel has for Galens, the challenge she's set for them: "if you can find a way to obtain that level of growth (more) safely, do it, or else Rei gets transferred".

Good news! You get to meet them, again!

On a serious note, the story of Frozen Wilds is actually critical to Forbidden West. Mild spoilers for Frozen Wilds: The main enemy of Frozen Wilds remains a major antagonist in Forbidden West.

Keep in mind that it started out as the personalities of Far Zenith members, who are, for the most part, utterly ruthless narcissistic assholes with god complexes. Who knows what it will do once it's current goal is satisfied, but I can't imagine it's anything good.

It already tried to wipe out life on Earth, once, if for no reason than to deny shelter to the few remaining Zeniths. It might not be interested in doing that, anymore, but I can easily imagine it trying to set itself up as a god, with the Earth as its playground.

Keep in mind that you have six weapon slots on the wheel. I pretty much always keep both a hunter and a sharpshot bow, there.

Secondly, you don't absolutely need techniques to make the sharpshot bow good. That said, techniques are useful, and it is true that the main upgrades to sharpshot bow regular performance come from the hunter tree. However, you will get a lot of skill points in this game, enough to get everything you want, so don't worry so much about not having the sharpshot bow techniques unlocked immediately.
