  • “Humid conditions have their own sort of more perceptual limitations, that difficulty breathing, because it feels so claustrophobic,” Dr Cheng says.

    “But in the dry environment, so far, the rate at which [their core temperature] is rising can be one-and-a-half to two times what we’re seeing with the more humid conditions.”

    “It’s really for a lot of those nations, that don’t have a choice but to actually live in these conditions 24/7 … or for people in circumstances where air conditioning is not an option, or areas of the world where manual labour in the field is just sort of their way of life,” Dr Cheng says.

    “A lot of those parts of the world that are most affected by it, are also the ones that have the least resources, I think, to deal with it.”

    The researchers will keep testing the conditions on people until the end of the year.

    But in the meantime, it’s given both the researchers, and Owen, an important glimpse into where the heat threshold of the human body lies.






  • Nice. I forgot about Federation Force (mostly I just remember the controversy with it not being what fans expected or something), but I have never heard of either of the others. I will have to look into them.

    The 3DS has such a wide range of genres (although it is heavily biased toward RPGs and Platformers) that I’m not surprised there are more than one FPS for it. Wasn’t there one called Ironfall? Or was that one was 3rd person?


  • Unless you consider Ace Combat an FPS, the 3DS doesn’t really have any of them that I know of. You’d be better off playing the old DS ones. If you count Homebrew, your options expand a lot. Doom and Quake play wonderfully on the New3DS with the C nub.

    As far as my favorite games on it: wow, there are so many. Shin Megami Tensei IV (and Apocalypse), Fire Emblem Birthright, Animal Crossing New Leaf, Pokémon, Monster Hunter 4U. The list goes on.

    Thank you for the opportunity! I’ve been pleasantly surprised at the quality of games I’ve played this year. Finally finished Horizon Zero Dawn after it “clicked” for me, and Forbidden West is so far an improvement in almost every way. Spider-Man 2 was nearly perfect (besides using a version of a character that I guess was designed to give you more stuff to do). I bought Hogwarts Legacy for my significant other and was surprised to find how relatively complex the combat was (especially compared to the old PS2 Harry Potter games). And I finally got into Shin Megami Tensei with 4 and have had a blast.
