While in the Seabed during The West tower quest there is a console that cannot be interacted with just sitting in a room on its own. According to Blue Burst this and 2 other locked rooms (which apparently also contain a console each) are part of a quest line to allow you to add the HIT attribute to weapons, but since this is not Blue Burst this quest line does not exist, so do they serve any other purpose?

I have completed this quest with multiple characters now and if I am skipping something it is better for me to do, I would rather know now, especially if it is tied to an item like Soul Eater which is hidden.

Gamecube documentation is all gone it appears. I try the wayback machine with PSO World to learn more, but not always successful when doing that.

Edit: Big thanks to u/One-Technology-9050

These only work in the online version of the quests not the offline versions available in PSO Plus. I already have them, but if anyone needs them you can find them here: https://github.com/eleriaqueen/psogc-codes-backup/tree/master/PSO%20Ep.1%262/USA/Download%20Quests

East and West Tower are located in file pack 6

You will need the AR codes to be able to get the quests to work.

I am a British man and I have an Egyptian friend who I went to school with (cultural backgrounds will be relevant later). We aren't particularly close, she is nice to talk to and catch-up with, but we have different jobs, live in different and countries and have different priorities, so while there is a bit of nostalgia attached and plenty of engaging conversation, that has its limits and that's fine not every friendship is supposed to be "hey bestie" and all that jazz.

Recently she messaged me on Instagram telling me she will be visiting the UK for work and was wondering if I wanted to catch-up, I said sure. Last time I saw her was in September last year and we had messaged each other on the odd occasion since via Instagram. I said to her that maybe we could do an activity if she was up for it, and she liked the idea. I spoke with my partner, who suggested an art gallery in London. Just a note here my partner has little relevance to the story, but just making it clear here that: a- she is fine with me meeting this friend and is fully informed b- my GF being way smarter than me is the one who made the suggestion. I liked the idea, so went back to my friend and suggested this, and just told her to let me know when I can book the tickets for. There was silence for a few days and then she says word for word: "I was telling <redacted> and I don't think he is too comfortable with the art gallery do you think we can do something different maybe?"

This was a dumbfounding experience. I don't know what to do or say here. Having lived in Egypt, I fully recognise the cultural differences, and accept that the attitudes men have towards their spouses are way different to the UK, but this has become super uncomfortable and awkward. From my cultural perspective this is abuse, and if I knew a guy treating a woman this way over here I would be furious (inb4 reverse the genders: yes it can happen to men too, I have experienced it firsthand that said women are more likely to affected by this). I have another friend who is also Egyptian, older (28F) and she has been telling me since forever about her dating experiences and has always said things like: "our culture is so controlling to women, Egyptian men are so insecure and can't handle their women going out even with other women". So while I was vaguely aware of this cultural difference based on my time living there, I am now beginning to witness this firsthand and I am just uncomfortable.

Part of me is saying I should just end this friendship here because I don't know what happens over there, like what if he gets angry at her and becomes violent because of me? I don't want to be the cause of that. But how do I approach the topic and point out the awkward cultural position I am in? Do I say anything at all? Do I just suggest something else until he approves and act like nothing happened? What can even be suggested? I feel so sad and scared for her. I think anyone who has been a victim of abuse as I have can understand why I am so concerned about this.

My partner is napping next to me, so need to wake her up soon because we are going to a party later, but I cannot wait to tell her about this, but I imagine she will be as shocked as I was. In the meantime looking forward to responses and will check them after the party or tomorrow UK time.
