Partizan, PMC Karma and the Connection Between the Two
The newest boss to be added into Tarkov, Partizan or as the community has aptly nicknamed him “Parmesan”, is a weird boss to say the least. His lore is probably the most unique out of all the other bosses and how he operates is also strange and not exactly understood. BSG has been tight lipped about exactly how he functions; only giving us vague answers in the past but confirming he, in some way, is directly tied to another hidden mechanic that was added in with patch 0.15, another karma system. Not PMC karma, not scav karma because we already have that. Just karma; what a wonderful new mechanic that is so easily understood by just that one word. We have been told numerous times that this was a matter of when and not if, and now that we finally have some version of it, we need to talk about how the community thinks it works, how it’s directly tied to Partizan, and how it might change in the future. As well as some other changes that also came with this update to help fill you in on where your own karma might be and whether or not Partizan is actively hunting for you right now. So, let’s talk about it.

Let’s Talk About Tripwires in Tarkov
Probably one of the more controversial additions into the game, Tarkov has just added placeable tripwires attached to grenades. This was something I thought only the new boss, Partizan was going to be able to do, but it looks like BSG wants us to die in even more mysterious and convoluted ways. The feelings I experienced while watching the patch 0.15 trailer and seeing the tripwires in action gave me very similar feelings to when we first saw the different types of grenade launchers being added into the game. And while those were initially cause for concern because of how powerful explosive ordinance in a game like Tarkov can be, in reality, you might be in the same raid with a GL every thousand raids or so. It’s not common and BSG has taken steps to make sure they aren’t seen that much. They’ve even dialed it back more overtime. Which gave me a little reassurance that these things wouldn’t break the game or become the new meta. And surprisingly, they aren’t as bad as I thought. Scary for sure, knowing they just exist now, and hearing that new sound when you step over one is a recipe for pure panic, but they don’t break the game. Much to the chagrin of some, perhaps. But today, I wanted to talk about tripwires in general; how they are acquired, how to use them, how powerful they actually are, and what this means for Tarkov going forward.

Tarkov's Arena Mode is Fun Again
Okay, I know about a month ago, I made a video talking about how Arena was pretty much dead in the water, and that the future of it was hanging in the balance of how BSG handles the 2.0 update. And to my surprise and delight, they delivered. Simply put, Arena is fun again. In fact, it’s more fun than it was when they initially released it. So many problem points that we had with it, are gone or at the very least significantly better than they were previously. The new custom presets, the integration of Ref and the linking of your Tarkov account; it all feels like how this game should’ve launched the first time. Because if it did, I can honestly see their vision of Arena being this bigger E-sport becoming a reality. Sadly, I think that ship has sailed a long time ago, but that doesn’t mean Arena still can’t be enjoyed both alongside regular Tarkov, and by itself. So, let’s go over what’s new with Arena and why it’s so much better.

Manu Bhaker - the beacon of hope for women in the gendered narrative of Indian sports
Manu Bhaker - the beacon of hope for women in the gendered narrative of Indian sports When a woman empowers herself in the endeavours of what she is excellent at, the ripple effect of her success serves as a beacon of hope and inspiration to millions of other women who aspire to accomplish their dreams. The road to success in sports for a woman in India is filled with narratives of disparity, prejudice, harassment and societal shunning. While many fall prey to injustice in their odyssey towards their goals, I find ecstasy and bliss in celebrating Manu Bhaker’s journey to secure a bronze medal in the Olympics. In this article, I examine the current status of Indian women in sports through the lens of the legendary victory of Manu Bhaker.
