MindsEye Guide: Missions 10-12 Walkthrough
MindsEye Guide: Missions 10-12 Mission 10: Executive Paranoia Back to top ↑ When you start the mission, you'll have another portal appear in the middle of the kitchen so lets tackle that first, shall we? Side Content: The Backniner Run This linear path will whisk you off to a scenario where you'll need to fight off waves of police officers to get to your goal as a gang member. It's quite straight forward and you can actually avoid a lot of the combat to begin with by simply running in a zig-zag away from the officers north. Be sure to make good use of the explosive barrels further in when the arena becomes more congested. They'll be scattered around the area and will be quite easy to spot. As soon as you enter the truck, the scenario will end. Back at Seb's, exit the house and immediately drive to Claudia's, which will be marked on your map. You'll now be in control of the drone and will need to fly it up to Claudia's apartment. To begin with, ascend the drone all the way up to the vent on the rooftop. Wait for the fan blades to stop spinning then descend down. Now, in order to get the Achievement: Smooth Flying, you need to make sure your drone doesn't sustain any damage while navigating the vents. Inside, be sure to toggle night-vision by pressing the right directional button. Once you can see, make sure you land your drone when the AC wind turns on. There are also small alcoves either side of the main route but you'll still need to land the drone even with exploiting these, otherwise you'll sustain damage. If you do end up damaging your drone, you can replay this in Mission Replay. On the other side of the vents, you'll reach Claudia's Apartment. Head inside and immediately to the left of the kitchen, near the back door, you'll find a coffee table. On it, you'll find a map. On the way round to the living room, you'll find a couple of suitcases. Check out the flyer on top of the largest suitcase here: Next, follow the apartment round through the living room and on the other side, doubling back on yourself, you'll find an open door leading to an office. Approach the desk and you'll find the clues. With all three of these found, we need to lure Claudia out her room. To do so, we need to fiddle with the AC. This can be found near the back door, left of the coffee table we just inspected. If you have your night-vision on, it's neon blue so you should find it quite easily. Once hacked, squeeze through the ajar door and slowly make your way into Claudia's room. Approach the bed and press Triangle (Y) on the little box. Now, return to your vehicle where you'll need to head through the door and back to your vehicle. Descend all the way back to your car and a cutscene will trigger. Mission 11: Man Always Burns Back to top ↑ Drive to the storage facility next, and fight your way through the goons. If you didn't get it earlier, there's another opportunity to grab Weapon #3: Linebacker from these goons, so be sure to scan them by pressing the down directional button if need be. Work your way through the warehouse, being sure to follow the metal stairwells into the next sections. The Linebacker works well here during close quarters combat but toward the end of this section, as you move to the back of the garage in the long chamber, I'd recommend switching to the pistol or SMG for effectiveness. When you get to the other side, the truck will take off and you'll need to give chase. The idea is to get close enough to ram the truck off the road, or damage the car enough for them to stop. The two soldiers will step out and attack so be sure to exit your car and kill them quickly. Unfortunately, thanks to the wonky enemy AI and the unpredictability of MindsEye's rigid mission structure, if they destroy your car you'll need to restart this section. You also need to watch out for stray cars that will shoot past in the commotion and potentially hit you too, both can easily get you a cheesed Mission Failure screen. When this is done, get in the truck and drive it back to the factory. Exit the truck and head over to the lab inside the building and another cutscene will trigger. Mission 12: A New Companion Back to top ↑ Straight after the cutscene you'll have gain the Achievement: Not So Total Recall. Step in the car and immediately head over to the crater. Drive on down and then deploy your DC-2. Press the down directional button to scan the area and mark the drones, then disable them by pressing R1 (RB) and Circle (B). Once that's done, head back to the lab. There may be some stray cars that tumble down the crater for some reason but you can ignore these and continue on your merry way. After the next cutscene drive all the way over to the Macedonian. When you get there, it'll jump right into the next mission.

Dentist says 'straws might be worse for you than you think', warns against using them for this reason
Many of us reach for straws out of habit or convenience, thinking they're a safer way to enjoy drinks without staining our teeth or harming our enamel. Dentist Dr Seb Lomas warns that using straws could actually contribute to dental issues you wouldn't expect. Here's why it might be time to reconsider this everyday habit. (Also read: Dentist reveals 5 most common brushing mistakes that could be ruining your oral health: 'Don't forget your tongue' ) In his May 9 Instagram post, Dr Seb says, 'Did you know that using straws too often can actually be an issue for your myofunctional routines?' He uses a regular straw as an example to explain his point. 'Think about how you use a straw, whether it's for water, juice, or smoothies. You place it in your mouth, suck your cheeks in, pull your lips down, and create negative pressure. That backward-sucking motion can actually pull the tongue out of its natural position. Over time, this can interfere with the way you swallow because you're relying on air pressure instead of proper tongue posture.' A post shared by 🦷 Dr Seb | Biological Dentist (@biological_dentist) Dr Seb explains that in the field of myofunctional therapy, the goal is to have both the tip and back of the tongue positioned high in the mouth while swallowing, without engaging any unnecessary facial muscles. "We want the swallow to happen naturally, without the cheeks or lips doing extra work," he says. Interestingly, he points out that there are specially designed straws that promote what he calls the "perfect swallow." These straws make it impossible to use incorrect muscle patterns and instead encourage proper tongue positioning during swallowing. "The best way to use a straw," he adds, "is to suck the liquid into your mouth, then remove your lips from the straw and swallow normally. That way, you're ensuring your muscles stay in balance and you're promoting a healthy, natural swallowing technique."
