![]() ![]() The decision to allow ornaments to count as armor for the sake of Iron Banner progression is an interesting one, too, as it encourages visual theming for the event while not forcing players to farm another set of high-stat armor. It makes sense to me - it’s a decent incentive to equip different armor sets while also not complicating builds. This change to Iron Banner fits right in with that. For instance, the Season of the Haunted armor grants you more Vestiges of Dread, the seasonal currency used to generate rewards at the end of the Nightmare Containment activity. ![]() It seems like Bungie’s approach to getting players to wear seasonal armor now that they’ve ditched sunsetting is to tie the armor sets to progression. ![]() Don’t forget to wear an Iron Banner emblem if you happen to have one of those, also - it’ll increase your rank progression by another 10%. Equipping Iron Banner gear (armor and weapons) will increase your rank progression up to a total of 200%, and this includes ornaments. Oh, and this trick works for increasing Iron Banner reputation, too. You can either complete Ada’s bounties or just buy the transmog items from the Eververse store, it’s up to you. Then, you can slap them onto whatever Legendary armor you’ve already got, and boom - you’re wearing Iron Banner gear which counts towards the Triumph. If you’ve owned any Iron Banner armor in the past, you can use Ada-1’s transmog system to create some Universal Ornaments from those pieces. Now, if you’re like me and finally just cleared out your Vault at the end of last season, mercilessly ditching all of your Legendary armor pieces besides your high-stat Masterworked rolls, then you might be a little annoyed at that requirement.īut don’t worry, because there’s another way. There’s a new seal to collect as well, and if you’ve taken a look at it in your Triumphs tab, you might have noticed something - one of the Triumphs is for completing Iron Banner matches while wearing armor from the event. Bracus Forge is bringing Iron Banner back to the Tower for the first time in Season of the Haunted this week, and Bungie’s overhauled the activity to be more in line with Crucible, Gambit, and Vanguard Operations. ![]()

![]() ![]() Basic car physics has become more realistic yet playable for beginners, brought back the traditional progression with a little sprinkle of stories, and kept all functionality that was in GTSport and previous numbering titles. I can confidently say that GT7 has improved in all aspects from GT Sport. It's not the best current driving title, but it remains one of the bests. Great to progress completing objectives and obtaining vehicles until, sooner than later, you end getting bored of playing the same. Although it's a pleasure to have so many cars and experience the races in their purest form, factors such as physics or its lack of dynamism aren't not as expected for a 2022 simracing. Although it's a pleasure to have so many cars and experience the races in their purest form, factors such as physics or its lack of dynamism aren't not as Gran Turismo 7 is, without a doubt, a good racing simulation game that is endlessly enjoyable and takes drivers to their maximum performance, but it doesn't revolutionize the genre nor reach high standards in many of its features.

Apart from that, i loved this game and had a load of fun but im just really pissed at how they went about doing micro transactions … Expand How these invites work is that you get one each 2 weeks but they also expire after those 2 weeks so you are forced to grind for those cars or else you'll need to wait god knows how long until you get another invitation for that brand of cars but with how micro transactions are forced down your throat this just feels like another way to make you buy more credits which just gets me mad. They also added an invitation system to get certain cars from certain brands which isnt that bad and on paper actually sounds pretty good. ![]() ![]() ANDDDD if that wasnt bad enough YOU HAVE LIMITED TIME YO BUY THE CARS. But now in gt 7 its a whole ass 20 dollars to get only 2 million credits which is a robbery considering some of the legendary cars are 18 MILLION CREDITS which are INCREDIBLY hard to get by just grinding which is where micro transactions could be useful to get some of those legendary cars but if you were to buy 18 million credits that would be a whoppin 180 dollars! If my calculations are correct which is already like paying for the game 2 WHOLE TIMES TO GET 1 DAMN CAR. In gt sport AT LEAST they wouldnt shove the option to buy more stuff down your throat i mean literally EVERY TIME you get any credits there's a button that says "top up on playstation store" which is completely shameless considering i paid 100 dollars for this game since i got the anniversary edition but thats besides the point, in gt sport you could buy cars directly for most of the times around 2-4 dollars or so if i remember correctly.

There is work to be done but, ultimately, this is a celebration, and it invites us to laugh at comedians speculating that the number of years in R Kelly’s sentence “is going to look like a bowling score”. But she sets her ambitions even higher: to break down the system that underserves and abuses Black women. The show’s creator, Dream Hampton, accepts a large slice of the credit and receives effusive compliments in a conversation with fellow film-maker-activist W Kamau Bell to celebrate the tangible impact of her work. Seeing their relief when Kelly is finally convicted is genuinely glorious. I was sick.”īut watching the four episodes, repulsion and righteous fury give way to immense pride in every activist, survivor, journalist and film-maker who took on this wolf in wolf’s clothing and demanded he be held accountable. The journalist Taryn Finley is noticeably shaking as she says: “Even recounting, my body is kind of having the same physiological response that it had then. Even for those familiar with the accusations that sent him to prison, hearing details of groomed Black children being raped, ejaculated on and forced to drink the urine and eat the faeces of a middle-aged singer is utterly nauseating. But even the most enraging injustices evolve into a moving tribute to the bravery of the victims, and the fortitude required to recount the worst events of your life and then have them picked apart by Kelly’s lawyers and many fans. Many lawyers, assistants, music executives and managers who were accused of facilitating his crimes were granted immunity by the courts or faced no real consequences. The abuse, of course, does not end with Kelly. One of his interview’s most potent and upsetting lines is quoted here by #MeToo founder Tarana Burke: “The saddest fact I’ve learned is: nobody matters less to our society than young Black women.” Now, seeing survivors empowered by this odious sadist’s comeuppance, taking their recovery and mental health seriously, and having their stories given weight not just by the documentary but by broader society, is beautiful to behold. Journalist Jim De Rogatis appears frequently, having been the interviewee in a 2013 piece that sparked much of the activism and attention that snowballed as those cultural changes happened. The documentary credits not just itself but the cultural shifts post #MeToo and #BlackLivesMatter for finally holding him to account. But, as we are frequently reminded, the justice system is skewed in favour of powerful men, and for 30 years, his crimes amounted to little more than punchlines for Dave Chappelle and Aziz Ansari. With dozens of accusers, hundreds of witnesses and mountains of evidence, it may seem surprising that Kelly “feeling the effects” of his victims speaking out was not assured. He is actually feeling the effects of what we’re doing.” Oronike Odeleye, co-founder of Mute R Kelly, grins from ear to ear as she talks about being sent the footage by those who thought it was “outrageous”, but she would respond: “No, it’s wonderful. At its most deliciously smug moment, it even shows footage of Kelly and his lawyers freaking out about the documentary, calling the creators and subject liars and fruitlessly mocking their campaign. The programme does not understate its impact and begins with a montage of politicians and celebrities referencing it. This is no longer just about survival – it’s a victory lap. The R&B megastar was found guilty of racketeering and sex trafficking in 2021 and faces trial for two more charges in Minnesota and 10 in Illinois. But after two seasons of unflinchingly charting allegations of decades of horrific abuse enacted by R Kelly, the tone of Netflix’s third season is markedly different from what came before: it is joyful, at times bordering on giddy. Anyone susceptible to being triggered by sexual abuse, violence and child cruelty should give the subject the widest of berths. L earning about the crimes of Robert Sylvester Kelly is a gruelling experience for even the most unflappable among us. ![]() |
