Altair • Sunbringer Season published a summary of Kafka for the beta 3.4 of ZZZ and warned that its features could change. As explained, the character would have a mechanic called Electric Arc: a strike that would bounce between a maximum of three nearby enemies, dealing 50% less damage for each enemy, scaling with anomaly mastery (AP), and counting as Disorder damage. The passive would grant 10 AP and another 10 points of a personal resource every time Kafka used his EX Skill. When an enemy affected by an anomaly attempted to attack, Electric Arc would automatically activate and deal 3% Disorder damage plus 500% of Kafka's AP, in addition to granting him three points of the resource. The passive would also increase the team's Disorder damage by 35%. The additional skill would extend Shock by three seconds and, when entering combat or when an ally caused an anomaly, would grant seven points of anomaly rate for every 12% energy recharge above 120%, up to a maximum of 140 points for 30 seconds. Altair pointed out that every fourth basic attack hitting an enemy affected by an anomaly would activate Electric Arc with 3% Disorder damage plus 500% of Kafka's AP. The powered basic attack would consume 80 points of the resource to deal area damage; if it hit an enemy with Shock, it would renew its duration, while against another anomaly, it would apply Polarity Disorder, with 90% Disorder damage and maintaining the anomaly. The EX Special would put Kafka in a powered state with three consecutive cuts and shots; not using it would result in losing 20 energy points. The final hit of the EX Slash would activate Electric Arc with 7% Disorder damage plus 1,200% of Kafka's AP against enemies affected by anomalies. Against enemies with Shock, the hit would ignore 20% of electrical resistance. Holding the basic attack would allow executing the cuts faster. The EX Shot would increase anomaly accumulation by 50% against enemies without Shock. Regarding the ultimate, Altair said it would not have a special effect, although it could be useful for applying electricity. As for the Mindscapes, he indicated that M1 would allow the team's Disorder damage to deal critical hits, with a 100% base critical hit chance and a 25% base critical damage; furthermore, Electric Arc would ignore 12% of electrical resistance. M2 would give 15% more anomaly accumulation and 25% more damage during the powered state, a benefit that would last eight seconds after exiting it. M4 would grant Kafka 150 dB when the team inflicted Disorder, with a cooldown of 10 seconds. M6 would grant six EX Specials for each powered state. Each use would give the following EX Slash and Electric Arc a 15% defense penetration, up to a maximum of 60%. Holding the basic attack would grant 200 ATK for 30 seconds, and after using the ultimate, the next six EX Specials would cost 50% less energy. Altair added that he would publish a visual guide when version 3 came out or if a hotfix allowed playing with Kafka beforehand. He also credited the artistic work to jeonghee1414. #Kafka #Gamer #Videojuegos (translated)

Sebastián Lacunza described as implausible and illegal the argument that the metrodelegates had been imprisoned for harming millions of people by leaving them without a subway during a strike. He claimed that the PRO governments had affected more people and for a longer time, attributing to them two decades of disinvestment, lack of control over the concessionaire —which, he wrote, had admitted to paying bribes to Ricardo Jaime—, absence of network expansions, line cuts and schedules that he deemed absurd, and a lack of capacity to even repair an escalator. #Subte #TransportePúblico #JusticiaSocial (translated)

PlayStation news pointed out that at Rockstar Games, employees had creative freedom to propose details and small mechanics that enriched the games. As an example, it cited Jason Schreier, who mentioned that the idea of horses' testicles shrinking in the cold in Red Dead Redemption 2 came from an employee to enhance immersion and not from a directive from their superiors. The account added that this kind of detail was also present during the development of GTA 6. #RockstarGames #GTA6 #RedDeadRedemption2 (translated)

Nachez wrote that the Dakar of 2027 would move to Morocco, although it was initially scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia. He indicated that the prologue would be on January 9 and the final on the 22, and that there would be a marathon-shelter stage without mechanical assistance, where participants would sleep in the desert. He also stated that the organization had already communicated the plan to the teams and that the official announcement was imminent, according to MARCA. #Dakar2027 #Marruecos #Deportes (translated)

PlayStation News reported that Jason Schreier had seen Rob Nelson play GTA 6 and that the game would allow Jason and Lucía to explore together, engage in activities, and commit crimes. According to the post, they could go out, kiss, and hold hands, as well as train at the gym and drive together. They could also visit banks to plan heists, rob shops, and explore hundreds of interiors. The account added that the police system would be more complex: if officers pursued the couple, Jason and Lucía could separate to throw them off the trail. It also mentioned visits to hair salons and spontaneous activities around the city. According to PlayStation News, Rob Nelson stated that this mechanic would offer a new way to enjoy GTA, and the account added that what was described would only be part of what GTA 6 would include. #GTA6 #mundoabierto #videjuegos (translated)

ALK4PON3 praised AleIVCR and his team, saying that their work had evolved in events, graphics, story, and mechanics. He added that he had always trusted them and that, although he complained when they beat him, he remained on the Eufonia ship and eagerly anticipated their next projects. #Eufonia #DesarrolloDeJuegos #Comunicación (translated)

KendoMurft expressed his support for those organizing the series and said he considered it unfair that, after handling hundreds of tickets and creating content, they received disrespect and criticism that he deemed unjust. He added that many people did not understand the work involved in a series like this or the difficulty of organizing something of that magnitude. He also said that the boss of that day seemed to him a unique experience and that the effort dedicated to each mechanic was noticeable. He encouraged the team to keep going and not to let the criticism overshadow what they were building. #Apoyo #Justicia #TrabajoDuro (translated)

But Cuatro stated that he had been enduring weeks of criticisms directed at his team, his family, and himself, in addition to assuming blame and responsibilities that, he said, did not belong to him. He pointed out that the reactions to the event were divided and that some participants attributed issues to them that did not depend on the organization. Regarding the cooperative series, he claimed they would not cancel it because some participants did not follow instructions or did not play as a team, even though, he stated, they received instructions an hour in advance and had alliances to identify the members of each group. He also rejected accusations of favoritism and said that his team had the experience to distinguish technical errors from game failures. Cuatro expressed sadness over the toxicity that, in his opinion, had surrounded the series, and affirmed that participants insulted them and spread incorrect information about the attention they received. He said they had handled more than 700 tickets during the season and had insisted that players use a Discord channel to send feedback. He also defended the technical work and content of the series: he stated that the team had adjusted the difficulty and mechanics in all seasons and had incorporated novelties. He added that they had revived all participants in several seasons and urged that no hasty conclusions be drawn about future resurrection mechanics. Finally, he said that Eufonia was doing things well, that the team was striving and growing, and asked those who disagreed to let them work in peace. #Toxicidad #JuegoEnEquipo #Feedback (translated)

Conterstine questioned why those who criticized the leaders disabled the comments and said he wanted to explain some aspects of the encounter. He pointed out that they were unaware of several mechanics of the dungeon: they didn't know there was emptiness, they didn't understand how the enemy that spun the mouse worked, and they only knew one of the boss's attacks, the light one. He added that, in his opinion, the enemy's mechanics were very bugged because they could leave players in an infinite loop. According to Conterstine, the situation worsened when Eon told them to advance without consulting the leaders, which led to a massacre. Still, he rated that dungeon and its boss as the best he had played in Dedsafio since it started and lamented that more people had not been able to enjoy it. #Dedsafio #videojuegos #comunidad (translated)

Grete Hermann, a prominent German mathematician, made pioneering contributions to computer algebra and challenged the validity of John von Neumann's theorem on quantum mechanics, but her career was cut short by Nazism, leading her to oblivion. #GreteHermann #Matemáticas #HistoriaDeLaCiencia (translated)

Ren said that they shouldn't leave those responsibilities in the hands of the server people. Although she acknowledged that she had reacted with a lot of anger after dying, she then pointed out that, in her opinion, the team had beta testers, plenty of staff, and people who knew all the mechanics, including the empty spots and the behavior of the mobs. She added that it had been difficult for her to understand why there were empty spaces in some parts of the same building and not in others, and stated that levitation had gotten some players killed. She also said that certain mobs, like creepers, required the help of another player, which, according to her, ended up placing the workload on the same people from the server. #Videojuegos #Gaming #ServidorGaming (translated)
