For folks in the western wold this may seem strange, but it probably makes sense if the intent is lure Chinese vacationers.

Well, considering that Trump himself committed federal crimes...

The challenge right now isn't getting the ace helmets, it's turning in the MG scrips for Wikelo favors.

Like a lot of things, the answer is "it depends". Probably the biggest factor I've seen is the willingness to accept their condition and stick with the prescribed medications. The worst cases I've seen all involved individuals who either consistently or intermittently refused to acknowledge their condition and take the meds. It usually resulted in some near tragic circumstances that costs them friends, jobs, and the support of loved ones. In one case I know the end result was fully tragic. However, some people who are bipolar have lived mostly normal lives, so not all hope is lost. It just depends on their willingness to deal with their condition head on.

I can't speak much with regard to how well they do in combat other than to say the NPCs versions that I run across in doing missions aren't terribly difficult to kill. That said, they can be fun to fly and with their large curved cockpit glass they give an unrivaled view to the pilot and co-pilot. My only other observation is to point out that like many other ships they are outdated. They need some TLC to bring them up to the current state of the art. By all means rent one and try it out, but I can't recommend spending real money on one at this time.

Great. They've gone from dog whistles to bullhorns. :|

Yeah. Corpo Plaza apartment. Real nice views.

 

spoilerJust finished my second play-through. First time V was a male nomad, so naturally he romanced Panam. Overall couldn't complain about how things turned out story wise, but I really wanted to see how romancing Judy would go as I really liked her character. So, for this second play-through V was a fem, street-kid. All was great with Judy until the epilogue when Judy said she was leaving. I shouldn't have been surprised. She did that in my first play-through as well, but it was still a bit if a gut punch.


Anyway, here's an in-game picture of her that I thought really captured the feeling. Intimate, but distant.

You have a good life too, Judy. 🥲

P.S. Kudos to the devs for making a game that can make a grown ass man feel again.

P.S.S. Sorry for the imgur link. Direct image upload wasn't working for me, so had to use imgur instead.

Here's the link to a site apparently put up by the Cards Against Humanity folks detailing their side of the story: https://elonowesyou100dollars.com/

Definitely the shortest route ... to an early death.

Another video recorded on the island of Ebeye in the Marshal Islands. This video is on the topic of the islander's affection for Basketball. In this video Evan is asking for people to send any surplus basketball related gear to the island for the benefit for the children. Details in the video and description.
