i have come to the conclusion new protag is their lovechild but the real question is who carried her(it was Ripuka)

[veebs-hates-video-games]

Ok Unicorn Overlord will get its own post at some point now that I'm finally done with it (spoilers: it's pretty great but not perfect, and I still like Engage more for SRPGs I've played semi-recently, but it's definitely one of my favorite things I've played so far this year), but here's some other stuff that's accumulated while I've been busy playing that or otherwise not posting on here.

I finally got around to playing Night in the Woods, or at least some of it. I get why people like it so much, but I think it's just not really my thing. The characters and the world are fun and everything, but when I'm a few hours in and have zero idea how far I am in the game because there's been zero actual plot so far, just random slice of life stuff, I'm probably going to get distracted and go do something else.

I tried to keep going because so many people I know really love it, but then I ran into the problem that it's possibly the only game I have on the Switch that's literally unplayable for me when the sun is up unless I go hide in a dark closet or something. I'm not turning up the brightness for the dark scenes with an average color of #010002 just to get my retinas seared off as soon as it switches to daytime again, especially when I don't have to do that in any other game. I have the fun combo of being noticeably more light sensitive than average but also having moderately bad and somewhat uncorrectable vision, and that just doesn't mesh well with trying to play this game at any time other than the middle of the night.

Death end re;Quest 2 was going to get its own post, but I just can't work up the effort to write it. I actually completely forgot I'd even played it a few days after finishing, that's how little of an impression it left on me. It was such a letdown after how interesting the first one was (despite all the problems I also had with it). I have no idea why they dropped the focus on most stuff that made the first one stand out as unique and went with much more generic horror this time around.

I could complain about the gameplay being less fun this time around for some reason (even though I never used the genre shift mechanics in the original, so it's not like it was because that was missing) or how predictable the story was or how much wasted potential the characters had (please let them have more than one personality trait), but I think I'll settle for complaining about fanservice and call it a day.

I appreciate that they dialed back on the visual side of the fanservice stuff from the first game, even if they probably only did it because so many of the characters are underage this time around, but they made up for it with their characterization instead. Look, if you have the right to write potentially interesting but ultimately relatively shallow characters and fill them with your own fetishes, I have the right to not like it and complain about it. Let Rottie have a personality trait other than "is gay", please. And just because you don't have her running around half naked because she's only 13 doesn't mean you're not still a weird creep for making her Extremely Normal about smelling Mai all the time or for making both DerQ games each have young girls talking about wetting their pants more than every other game I've played in my life combined (with the notable exception of Sahad Ys8, who somehow manages to do it twice as much as these games do combined while still being a pretty likable guy).

Maybe the story finally goes somewhere if you do the NG+ stuff, but I don't have the fortitude to drag myself through that, especially since you apparently need to do all the side quests to unlock all the dialogues, and the side quests suck and are just filler/padding. I didn't mind doing NG+ in the first one because I was actually invested in the story, but I just don't care enough this time. I'm not feeling optimistic about future games in the series, but if they're closer to what the first one was like I could be persuaded to try another if it's on sale cheap enough.

And I guess to end on a positive note, Vampire Survivors is still great. I originally played it on my computer before any of the DLC existed, and I did a bunch of what was in the game at the time but got distracted before finishing everything. I always meant to go back to it and do more and try the DLC, but I haven't been using my computer as much in the time between then and now because seeing is hard.

So I grabbed it and all the DLC on my Switch instead because it's practically free anyway, and I replayed everything I already did before plus all the new stuff, and I regret nothing. The first couple DLCs (Legacy of the Moonspell and Tides of the Foscari) were a bit underwhelming, even if some of the new characters and weapons were kind of fun, but the Amogus and Contra ones were actually surprisingly great. I was expecting crossover stuff to be worse and just a cash grab, but they actually did some really neat stuff with them and they were a lot of fun. I think I would've liked Foscari more if it had a proper adventure mode like the others to introduce you to the new stuff instead of just blasting through it with all your existing upgrades intact, but they haven't gone back and redone that one yet to add that. I suspect it'll be good when they do though, considering everything they've learned from making the more recent ones.

The Best Uber Driving Tips: How to Make More Money and Keep Passengers Happy

If you want to make some extra money, becoming an Uber driver may be a good option. But it's not as simple as signing up and hitting the road. You can do a few things to make your driving experience more enjoyable for you and your passengers and to ensure that you make the most money possible. This blog post will discuss some of the best Uber driving tips. So keep reading to learn more!

Make Sure That Your Car Is Spotless At All Times

No one wants to get into a dirty car, and passengers will take notice if your vehicle is not up to par. To make a good impression, it is essential that you keep your vehicle clean at all times - both inside and out. A quick wipe-down of the interior and exterior of your car before each shift can go a long way in making sure that your passengers are happy.

In addition to keeping your car clean, it is also essential to make sure that it smells good. No one wants to ride in a smelly car, so keep things fresh by using air fresheners or opening the windows from time to time.

Always Be Professional

The best way to ensure that you're making the most money possible is to be professional. Ensuring that your passengers are happy is by being a good conversationalist. Small talk can make someone's ride more enjoyable, so be sure to talk with your passengers whenever possible. However, it is essential not to overdo it - no one wants to be bombarded with questions or conversation the entire ride.

Safety Is Essential

As an Uber driver, you are responsible for the safety of your passengers. This means following all traffic laws, starting using Derq traffic solutions to avoid accidents, and being aware of your surroundings at all times. If you ever feel unsafe, pull over and end the ride. It's not worth risking your life or the lives of your passengers.

In addition to being a safe driver, you should also be courteous. This means no cell phone use while driving, no speeding, and no reckless driving. Be sure to follow the Golden Rule: treat others on the road the way you want to be treated.

Always Be On Time

Finally, one of the most important things you can do to be a successful Uber driver is always be on time. No one wants to wait for their ride, so be sure to show up at least a few minutes early. This will not only make your passengers happy but also ensure that you don't get any negative feedback. If you're consistently late, you may find that your rating starts to suffer, leading to fewer passengers requesting rides from you.

So, there you have it! These are just a few of the many things you can do to be a successful Uber driver. By following these tips, you'll be sure to make more money and keep your passengers happy.

Dubai startup raises $1.5m to use AI to reduce vehicle accidents and opens US office in Detroit http://ift.tt/2zAbNLQ

Derq aims to make cars smarter and recently raised $1.5 million in seed funding from Techstars Mobility Accelerator. In addition to growing its team and opening an office in Detroit, the company plans on using the cash to advance its tech that aims to reduce vehicle accidents by improving how cars and infrastructure talk to each other.

The company sees its product integrating into existing and future vehicle to vehicle (V2V) and vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) communication. Derq has developed and patented an application layer that sits between these communication layers and aims to predict incidents such as crashes and then notifies nearby drivers — something that will gain even more relevance as more autonomous vehicles hit the road.

The project was spun out of MIT where the founder and CEO Georges Aoude earned a Ph.D in aerospace engineering in 2011. The company is based in Dubai and plans to soon open its first office in the US in downtown Detroit and seek partnerships with auto makers.

Earlier this month, Derq signed an agreement with Dubai-based agencies to trial its technology. The company says this Memorandum of Understanding aims to demonstrate the feasibility and benefits of connected vehicle technology in regards to road safety.

“Dubai is at the forefront of adopting innovative technologies that focus on improving road safety and autonomous vehicle deployments. We’re honored to be working with Smart Dubai Office, Roads and Transport Authority and Dubai Oasis Authority to implement Derq’s road safety technology in Dubai’s Silicon Oasis,” said Dr. Georges Aoude, CEO for Derq in a blog post. “While headquartered in Dubai, we recently graduated from Techstars Mobility in Detroit, and felt it was important to open an office in Detroit – the epicenter of mobility innovation in the U.S. Our recent seed round will help Derq establish a team here, grow our team in Dubai and continue improving our technology.”

The vehicle communication sector is quickly gaining new entrants as more companies try to become a key part of what is sure to be an important communication layer. Derq sits at an interesting vantage point by serving both V2V and V2I though they’re going to have to sell their vision to auto makers, auto suppliers and government regulators, which could prove a tougher challenge than building the product.

New story in Technology from Time: Dubai Decrees Itself the A.I. City-State of the Future

There’s no direct flight from Dubai to Detroit. So when the three co-founders of Dubai-based Derq, a traffic-safety startup, need to get to the carmaking capital of the U.S., they take a connecting flight on Air France through Paris or on Emirates through Boston. That typically means a four-leg, 32-hour round-trip for at least one … Continue reading “New story in Technology from Time: Dubai…

Dubai Silicon Oasis Authority partners with Derq to deploy AI-based solution to monitor adherence to COVID-19 guidelines

(WAM) — Dubai Silicon Oasis Authority, DSOA, has partnered with Derq, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT, spinoff, to deploy an Artificial Intelligence, AI, based solution to support cities in ensuring compliance with COVID-19 response measures.

Utilising advanced AI technology, the solution seeks to strengthen the community’s adherence to the new global safety standards aimed at combating the COVID-19 pandemic.

Deploying Derq’s award-winning algorithms, the solution uses pre-existing camera feeds to monitor whether people are violating safety guidelines, including social distancing requirements, wearing of facemasks, and observance of occupancy requirements focused on ensuring safety.

Feeds from CCTV and other security cameras in community spaces that face high risk of COVID-19 transmissions are analysed in real time to detect and report any violation that could cause harm to the broader community. The technology provides decision makers with a personalised dashboard to review the community’s overall to guidelines, which also allows them to take immediate action to ensure collective safety adherence.

Speaking on the initiative, Dr. Mohammed Al Zarooni, Vice Chairman & CEO of DSOA said, “In the words of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, Dubai strives to catalyse innovation and push the limits of leveraging technology to benefit people. At Dubai Silicon Oasis Authority, we are dedicated to tap synergies with key entities across diverse sectors to actively exchange knowledge and expertise, as well as best practices and successful smart city solutions.”

He added, “DSOA is committed to collaborate once again with Derq, to enhance the safety of citizens and community amidst these trying times. Our top priority is ensuring the safety and quality of life for our community, the emirate, and the nation at large. This collaboration also links with our core mission to lead a fully integrated, and sustainable smart community.”

Dr. Georges Aoude, Co-Founder and CEO of Derq, said, “Derq’s efforts have always been rooted in our mission to enhance citizens’ safety. Through this initiative, we are able to do just that in the places that matter most – on our roads, and in our hospitals, offices, malls, beaches, and airports. However, we cannot simply do this alone; our partnerships with governments and businesses, such as Dubai Silicon Oasis Authority, empower us to implement this technology and ensure its success.”

He added: “These are tumultuous times and every effort matters. Our lives have changed because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and our new normal includes being aware of our surroundings more so than before. Derq is proud to contribute to this global cause and quickly rise to the challenge it was presented.”

Dubai Silicon Oasis Authority supports Derq with developing and testing their technology through a live testbed and proof of concepts in the Dubai Silicon Oasis community.

Headquartered in Dubai and Michigan, Derq uses artificial intelligence to deliver innovative road safety solutions that help eliminate collisions and save lives. The two organisations have been collaborating since 2017, when Derq began piloting its patented real-time AI video analytics that enhances road and pedestrian safety for conventional and autonomous cars through connected vehicles (V2X) communication and AI-powered blinking signs to predict road incidents and notify vehicles to avoid them
