Cyberpunk 2077 was hyped up to be not only the game of the year but possibly the game of this decade as well. While I did try to seep myself separate from the hype associated with this game, I wonβt shy away from saying Cyberpunk 2077 has far exceeded my expectations. In many ways, Cyberpunk 2077 feels like a genre-defining game that will be remembered by fans for a very long time. Iβve played about 22 hours as Iβve been messing around in the Night City doing side missions, gigs, and soaking in the glistening neon-filled world. This is a massive game and there was no way I could have finished Cyberpunk 2077 in time for the global embargo. However, that does not mean we cannot talk about the game and what we think so far. Do keep in mind everything we talk about below is spoiler-free and only talks about my initial impressions of the game based on over 20 hours of in-game time.Β Β

In our 22 hours of gameplay time, the story so far has been quite action-packed and filled with emotions. The opening sequence of the game is fairly long, filled with tutorials and basic introductions to the complex RPG mechanics. You will learn the ropes gradually until the very end of the first act of the game. The main title screen does not even appear at least five hours into the main campaign. I chose to play the βStreet Kidβ life path for my first playthrough as I wanted to experience βNight Cityβ from the get-go and trust me when I see say this - it was a sight to behold. So far, the story has been exceptional and I havenβt come across even one boring moment. Most of the gameβs presentation is very cinematic where the gameplay flawlessly switches from gameplay to set pieces without you even realising it.Β
Β© CDProjekt Red_MesXP
Iβm not going to be talking much about the story as yet, however I will say that every decision you make matters. Your decisions are the most important aspect in the context of the overall story and you shouldnβt take it lightly. Some choices will come from conversations while others might just surprise you. CD Projekt Red has masterfully implemented consequences and gains that might creep up at the most unexpected moment. Due to a plethora of choices available and its first-person nature, the game truly makes the experience feel like a personal journey. I havenβt come across a game like this in a long time that sets a new benchmark for immersion.Β
Β© CDProjekt Red_MesXP
Speaking of immersion, the world crafted by CD Projekt Red is by far the most detailed environment weβve ever seen in a game. The futuristic metropolis looks and feels and sounds like a melange of Tokyo, Singapore and Hong Kong, although with a futuristic vibe. The world is populated just like you would expect from a dense city like Tokyo, filled with NPCs who are strolling the streets of Night City and going about their day. There will be times you will be visiting markets that genuinely feel overcrowded and you may have to trade through a hoard of NPCs to get to your destination. Night City truly feels like a lived-in city with beautiful skylines and city centres that can give real-world cities a run for their money. Even most of the character models of NPCs look extremely detailed, realistic and at par with what weβve seen in previews.Β

The case remains the same while driving vehicles as you will often find yourself stuck in a traffic jam or drive through narrow streets much like in real life. Each car feels and handles differently which is along the lines of GTA V albeit slightly better. You can hijack cars as well, however it works a bit differently than GTA V. You can only hijack cars depending on how many points youβve invested in your βStrengthβ attribute, which makes you want to improve your character further if you want the ability to hijack better cars.Β
Β© CDProjekt Red_MesXP
Now letβs talk about the combat system as it is by far, the most important aspect of the game. Cyberpunk 2077 is mostly a first-person shooter, reminiscent of games like The Outer Worlds and the Fallout series. Having said that, the combat mechanic feels a lot more polished and smooth as compared to the aforementioned games. Even melee combat feels more comprehensive than anything weβve experienced before. Weβve seen rumours online about Cyberpunk 2077βs enemy AI where it puts the intelligence of NPCs into question. In my experience, on normal difficulty, there were times I got picked off by enemies in a single shot because I chose to approach some missions head first. Enemies in this game can be unforgiving and taking a more cautious approach is recommended.Β Β
Being a CD Projekt Red game, Cyberpunk 2077 is filled with complex RPG systems that you get to play around with as soon as you start the game. You will end up collecting different types of mods to enhance your weapons or buy and install cybernetic mods from a local βripperdocβ. We will talk more in detail about the RPG mechanics and how these systems play a role in character progression as a part of our full review soon.Β Β
Β© CDProjekt Red_MesXP
Since I have not finished the game yet, I am not going to give a final verdict as of now and instead just gave an overview of the gameβs performance so far. In my 22 hour playthrough, I have not come across any major bugs or performance issues until now with exception of one hard crash. It is important to let you know that I have been playing the βpre-releaseβ build of the game and there will be stability improvements as a part of the day-one patch.Β
Β© CDProjekt Red_MesXP
I am currently playing the PC version of the game on my RTX 2080Ti GPU and will be switching to the RTX 3090 for the rest of the game. In my experience, the game runs flawlessly at 60 frames per second with the high ray-tracing mode turned on at 1440p resolution. After uncapping the frame rates, Cyberpunk 2077 was running around 135-140 FPS with RTX turned on and will test the game in 4K resolution on the RTX 3090 for our review. I have not tested the game on any of the consoles as of yet but will be running it on the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 4 as soon as I get my hands on the physical copies on launch day.
Conclusion Β© CDProjekt Red_MesXP
Cyberpunk 2077 has already set a new standard for open-world role-playing games and immersion in my opinion. It is the most detailed world Iβve ever come across that gives GTA V a run for its money and may have just set a template for future games to come. If you were to ask me my current score, I would give it a 9/10, keeping one point in reserve in case I come across any game-breaking bug or because of an unsatisfactory ending.

Tiger Shroff, with his super flexible physique, knows how to work several fashion trends.Β
Of late, he has been experimenting quite a lot with his sartorial choices.Β
While he is mostly seen wearing relaxed silhouettes, there are times when he ends up stepping out in weird combinations and yet, never lets our attention evade from his style trials.
Β© Viral Bhayani
Despite that, we like the way he carries himself in public.Β
From wearing really loose and long pants to making a statement wearing bell-bottoms, there's no doubt that he dresses up in a functional manner and he certainly knows how to switch things up, exactly when he wants to.
Β© Viral Bhayani
Recently, he gave us a glimpse of yet another classic outfit, which looked super basic and simple, in monochromatic hues.Β
While the whole ensemble looked on-point, we also liked the construction of his flip flops, which if you take a closer look at, is rather an interesting pair.
Before we move onto the details of what he wore on his feet, let's take a closer look at his outfit here.
Β© Viral Bhayani
Tiger's outfit is very unassuming. A white hoodie, paired with long, white flared pants, are sitting perfectly together and both the silhouettes are complementing each other.Β
The outfit looks super laid-back and since this is Tiger's style statement, he has often been spotted wearing such an outfit.Β
We also like the manner in which he has kept the zipper of his hoodie open till right below his chest, as it's putting emphasis on his neckpiece as well as his physique.
Β© Superdry
He has clubbed the outfit, with a pair of flip flops, instead of sneakers or boots. Tiger here is seen wearing, Superdry's Black Printed Flip flops.Β
Here's why we think they are an interesting piece.Β
While an ordinary pair would look super basic, these, on the other hand, have funky details. They are styled with patterned grooves with Superdry's branding on the inside in huge white letters.Β
The pair has a cushioned footbed, with synthetic thong-style upper and textured outsole.
Β© Superdry
These are really a cool pair of flip flops if you ask us and seem perfect for casual outings. As for the price, these retail for about Rs 1,990, which makes it an affordable pair.
Β© Viral Bhayani
All in all, we think this is a really swell way to step out wearing chappals that look so fashionable. Maybe, it's time to bring back the trend and give sneakers some break?

Online dating isnβt the easiest thing you have had to do. Okay, perhaps it canβt be a pretty good pastime if thatβs what youβre looking for, but if youβre genuinely looking to build connections and trying to meet someone who is compatible, wants the same things as you, online dating can sometimes seem like a whole new ballgame.
Β© Twitter/Kaitlin Koult
At a time when first impressions are made on the basis of profile pictures, bios and first interactions on dating apps, things never go beyond personal messages. Youβve often wondered why that is and one of the major reasons lies in the fact that most often we say things we shouldnβt and donβt ask the questions we should.
Here are 5 such seemingly innocuous but βrealβ questions you should ask your dating app matches that she will not only appreciate, but also respond to (in most cases).
1. βWhat Are You Looking For?β
via GIPHY
If she doesnβt ask you this at the go, you should. Hereβs why it always works. One, not everyone is looking for the same thing on a dating platform. Two, by asking her what sheβs looking for, you are not only respecting her expectations but also giving importance to her needs and thatβs a big plus. Third, by getting this question out there, you save both of your time and chances of a potential heartburn in the future.
2. βDo You Have A First-Date Policy?β
via GIPHY
If you get a convincing response to the first question, you might want to ask this sometime during the conversation. Chances are, she might actually have such an unsaid policy that she follows to see if a guy is worth a second date. Handshake, hug, pecks on the cheek or more, it could be anything. So if you are looking for things to pick-up in the long run, getting it right the first time always comes handy.
3. βWhatβs Your Idea Of A Terrible First Date?β
via GIPHY
Thatβs unusual right? People usually want to know what someoneβs idea of a perfect date is, but that ainβt gonna be you. She thinks, interestingβ¦ and now you have her attention. She may or may not have had a terrible date in real life, but trust us that wonβt stop her from laying out exactly what you could do wrong on your first date. Howβs that for a good save?
4. βAny Incidents That Soured Your (Online) Dating Experience?β
via GIPHY
Online or not, we have all met our share of weirdos and pain in the arse(s) in the dating scenario and it isnβt exactly a sweet memory. Why should you ask this question, because their response will give you an insight into this potential date youβre trying to figure out. What makes them tick, their outlook towards things and even a sense of the kind of person they might be, the response will give you a fairly good idea about all of that. Itβs a rather deep question, but she doesnβt have to know that.
5. βWhatβs That One Thing Youβve Always Wanted To Ask A Guy?β
via GIPHY
Now, if youβre looking to solve the mystery that your match is, throw in this question to see what she comes up with. This can help you gauge where she is at, if sheβs fun or if sheβs naive and curious - giving her an open pass should make her fess up and works wonders as a conversation starter too. She might ask you what turns-off a man or why guys do what they do. Either way, be assured this conversation will be a lot better than starting off with a one-liner.
Girls reading this, let us know what more we can add to the list.

Christmas cheer is a real phenomenon. Enter December, and the Christmas fervour amps up, noticeably all across the world, although you probably already know someone who isnβt even willing to wait until Thanksgiving to bring out the tree.

Now, while adults getting excited for Christmas is quite a sight, itβs a rather big deal for the kids, all with the decorations, Santaβs visit and a ton of gifts to unwrap on Christmas Day! It had been exactly the same in the Liddell household, with 7-year-old, Christmas-mad Jasmine waiting for the D-day to arrive soon.
And in keeping with his daughterβs love for the celebrations, 49-year-old Ray Liddell wanted to impress Jasmine with a spectacular Christmas decoration. That is when he decided to order an inflatable Grinch decoration. However, as luck would have it, what arrived was a 35-feet long inflatable Grinch - taller than even his house.
Β© Twitter AliceHouseHosp
As per reports, Liddell reportedly paid about Rs 50,000 for the inflatable, however, he didnβt pay attention to the size measurements provided in the item description and ended up with the gigantic Grinch that now stands tall on his front porch. Soon people started dropping by to see the Grinch and took pictures with it.
Β© Twitter BBCTees
Thatβs when a better idea struck Ray. He began asking the visiting families to consider making donations to Alice House Hospice. Why? Because Rayβs father recently passed away from coronavirus, and the Alice House Hospice have taken care of him until the very end, and Ray wanted to give back to the community in some way.
Talk about turning lemons into lemonade.

This year has been a turbulent year in a lot of ways and while we are in the last month of 2020, the sun still feels cold as nowadays every morning we wake up to the roaring impact of the ongoing farmers' protest in the country which is also being labelled as the most peaceful protest in human history. While most of the Bollywood continues to remain silent, recently a lot of questions were raised for politician and actor Sunny Deol who was completely MIA from sharing his views. Well, the actor has finally issued a statement but while itβs diplomatic in nature for most people, others cannot fathom its nature at all.
I stand with BJP and farmers; govt always thinks of farmers' betterment: Sunny Deol
Read @ANI Story | https://t.co/CcsSrbKgwr pic.twitter.com/quL9Sulz0E
β ANI Digital (@ani_digital) December 6, 2020
This statement which is being perceived as a tautology in itself has basically turned into fodder for a meme fest on the internet as people try to interpret it with their own examples.

β Dee J (@jiddi_kudi) December 7, 2020 While diplomacy is a virtue for every politician or for an actor today, it does help if one is clear on their intent with their words as professions like these demand the support of the public which is only possible if the public knows what a leader wants. It is ironical for the Punjabi actor to be an MP from Gurdaspur and yet have no words to offer on this subject.Β

Back in 2016, bodybuilder and fitness influencer Connor Murphy took a very bold step forward on his YouTube channel when he broke down how Instagram models use certain tricks to make their physique look significantly better than it actually is.
Most of his images on his profile show how lean, chiselled and ripped his body is but in a YouTube video, Murphy shows how it takes him just 10 minutes, good lighting and right camera angles to highlight the muscles even better.
"I realized there are a lot of things that make my body look drastically different" in Instagram photos, he said in his video.
"The fitness industry is known to be super, super fake," he told Insider. "Everyone's, like, Photoshopping their pictures, everyone's lying about being on performance-enhancing drugs and stuff like that."
"Most influencers aren't gonna wanna show you the before photos because they don't look good," he added.
Importance of Lighting Β© Connor Murphy - YouTube
According to Murphy, lighting becomes the most important part of a photoshoot and suggests that if you wish to highlight your cuts, make sure to keep your face towards the sun (as a darker surrounding will make the lines less visible.
Importance of Camera Angle Β© Connor Murphy - YouTube
If you tilt your body towards the camera, the part of your body closer to the lens will appear to be bigger. The opposite of this is also obviously true. So for example, if you wish to show your waist smaller than it is, pull it away from the camera.Β
"You're making the top half of your body closer to the camera than your lower half," Murphy said. "So your shoulders are closer to the camera than your waist is, which gives the illusion that your shoulders are bigger and your waist is smaller than it actually is."
Β© Connor Murphy - YouTube
Also, if you position the camera at a higher angle, it will make your muscles look bigger, especially the upper body.
Relaxed Vs Flexed Β© Connor Murphy - YouTube
Flexing, as most of youβd know, definitely makes a huge difference when it comes to making your muscles look bigger. The entire sport of bodybuilding revolved around flexing on stage. But exactly how much of a difference can it make?
"Your abs are not going to be visible unless you flex," he says in the video.
Hair Vs Clean-Shaved Torso Β© Connor Murphy - YouTube
Murphy explains one of the biggest reasons why bodybuilders have no hair on their body is simply because hair covers up all the lines on your body.Β
They also get a natural tan or spray tan to hide their stretch marks by evening the skin tone.Β
Pumping Before Photos/Videos Β© Connor Murphy - YouTube
Another trick that bodybuilders and even actors use to appear muscular on screen is to get their blood pumping just before the shot.Β
It is because of this very reason why Henry Cavill could be seen doing some bodyweight exercises like push ups and pulls up in between shots while filming for Man of Steel.
How Movies & Photoshoots Lead To Unrealistic Expectations Β© Connor Murphy - YouTube
"When people are being really fake online, whether it be they got plastic surgery and they're saying that they didn't or they're taking performance enhancing drugs and they're saying they didn't, or they're Photoshopping their pictures and saying that they didn't, it's giving an unrealistic expectation to their followers," he told Insider.
"It's bad for the followers if they have these unrealistic expectations that can't be met because they don't understand that what they're trying to achieve isn't even real," he said.
