I wonder if that's the name of the game or Chinese for 404 page not found?

It's Death Stranding in Chinese. I'm using Google translate to... and as I type this the Epic UI went back to English

Back in ancient Egypt now. I'm sneaking into a fort with many, many guards.

 

Thought it was time to have another go at that place.
Ignored the big boss man this time and tried a better plan of sneaking up and around the perimeter walls to take out the lower level archers, then the swordy guys. Then some shieldy chaps and then...
One of them saw all the bodies I was leaving behind and lit the beacon.
Reinforcements again.
But not just any reinforcements this time. I was hiding in the long grass when I heard the big horn sound.
Warning! Phylakes near!
Ptolemy's Fist has come to help them out.
I can even see him in the distance round the corner of this wall so I just stayed there in the grass. There was no way out so I just waited like a coward...
Shieldy man walked past. Y To Assassinate!
Another chap. Y.
Camp Commander too? Y?
Well not quite. But I did kill him with a few combos broken up with some decent blocking. He's not the big boss guy but now I have the prison key to free my allies.
But can I get to them?
I have a looky-loo through Senu's eyes in the sky and... Ptolemy's Fist has moved over to the far side of the fort.
But the big boss man is still in the way.
But I'll have to kill him sooner or later and now there are only four higher level baddies around (not including the Phylakes man) so... Let's do it!
And...
Ooof. That big weapon really hurts.



 

I just got an updated user agreement on Epic, where I actually bothered reading the section of fan art. Not that I get much. It's not like I'd make fan art of the epic store. But apparently they include all games they sell in "their" IP? So if I make a Subnautica fan art I should include "the following disclaimer on or in connection with your Fan Content, including on any web page containing your Fan Content:

I would have thought e.g. Subnautica was copyrighted by Unknown Worlds, rather than the various "stores" it's sold through?

I couldn't find anything in the T&Cs related to fan art. In fact I didn't know it was possible to post anything like that... unless it's related to their recently released editor thing for Fortnite which enables users to create content for it 

Well they don't mention fortnight or any specific games. They just make it sound like all games in their store are their own IP. Which they aren't.
And I assume it popped up after the update it made to itself yesterday... Anyway I couldn't play my bought and paid for game without agreeing, so...

*Nighttime,, can't see a thing, waits for dawn*
*goes outside*
"Dangerous weather approaching, seek shelter"
*waits for the weather to pass, takes three steps*
"Dangerous weather approaching, seek shelter"
*waits for the weather to pass. Takes a few steps. It grows dark.*

*decides to brave the dark*
"Dangerous weather approaching, seek shelter"


I really don't like the land based bits of Below Zero.
That said, I wouldn't have minded a bit more land in the first Subnautica. All that water makes me feel a bit uneasy, too...

Tropical beaches, palm trees, blue skies... would it have been so bad? Once you got rid of those icky scuttling things, that is.

and in my game.... "Dangerous weather approaching, seek shelter"
