If you thought that computers in the Star Wars universe would have some sort of high-tech security system that prevents any idiot from hacking into their systems, you’d be dead wrong. Star Wars Outlaws computers are very easily hacked by playing a simple game of Mastermind, provided you have the right equipment.
We’ll explain how slicing works in Star Wars Outlaws, as well as where to get the Slicing Kit so you can slice even more systems.
Slicing is like the game Mastermind, where you need to break a secret code. Select as many symbols as the sequence requires and enter to see how you did:
As you progress through the game, they can get more complex. When the symbols are connected by white lines on the selection screen, that means only one symbol from that group appears in the sequence, meaning you can easily rule out several symbols at once if you find the right one from a particular group.
The slicing kit is a bit of specialized equipment you can get your hands on just a few hours into Star Wars Outlaws that will let you slice systems even if they don’t have a terminal. To unlock it, you first need to progress the main story a bit so that you have completed the quests ‘Underworld’ and ‘New Tricks’, then visit Danka in Jaunta’s Hope’s bar.
Danka will then point you toward the slicer, so activate the quest in your journal and follow the markers. This is a straightforward but somewhat difficult quest that requires you to break into a heavily-armed Imperial base, but completing it will unlock the slicing kit for you to use whenever you need it.

Super Mario Galaxy is just like your usual Mario games, except it’s set in space. Both Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 are being released on Switch 2 on October 2. There is much anticipation, but some fans are feeling that the game looks “unfinished.” Nintendo is bundling these two games–and this isn’t good news for most fans. It is pricey at $70, which is another complaint. Compared to the previous release on the Wii, it appears to be much less detailed and doesn’t have as much of a 3-D look. Nintendo’s Most Loved Super Mario is Nintendo’s most loved franchise. This particular game was originally launched on the Wii in 2007, with Super Mario Galaxy 2 being released the following year. They both earned massive acclaim. The game was then re-released on Switch as part of the limited-time 3D “All-Stars” collection. So Why the Dissatisfaction? It seems like the complaints on this game are mostly aesthetic. The excitement was high for this drop, especially since there is also a Super Mario Galaxy movie due to release in April of next year. But, after watching the trailer, some fans have been left disappointed. Texture Downgrades One Reddit user named RedditRedditReddit64 showcased screenshots comparing the trailer with the game on the Wii. These comparisons show what could be texture downgrades. There were surfaces on the Wii that had diamond plate metal and soil that now appear to be just flat colors. RedditRedditReddit64 elaborated: “I and others have noticed this weird inconsistency regarding the new ports’ textures, where some of them are a straight improvement in detail while others look completely washed out. I hope that these are simply unfinished textures that happened to slip through the videos and are awaiting replacements before release, but I have doubts.” Some commentors on Reddit agreed, while others insist that the textures are unfinished and some write it off to video compression. Nintendo themselves, however, have not yet confirmed whether these are finished graphics or not.
Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur isn't happy after his team dropped a NFL Week 3 contest to the previously winless Cleveland Browns. It was a game that the Packers should have won, by all accounts. They gave in as a favorite on the road because over the first two weeks of the season, they looked like a legitimate Super Bowl contender. That's feedback the Packers were apparently taking to heart before the Cleveland game, in a bad way. This was a team that was clearly overconfident and a squad that perhaps got caught looking at the big picture rather than than the week-to-week grind of the NFL. Heck, offensive tackle Rasheed Walker was talking about an undefeated season before the Week 3 loss. "I think we can go undefeated, honestly," Walker had said. LaFleur calls out the Packers The end result of the Packers' overconfidence was a disappointing 13-10, last-second loss that was ugly, sloppy and uninspiring. The Packers suffered a terrible Jordan Love interception that swung the game, and they lost on a last-second field goal after having what could have been a game-winning attempt of their own blocked. On Monday, LaFleur was clearly fed up and frustrated. "I've said it a million times to you guys — I don't think I've obviously said it enough to our team — the goal is to go 1-0 every week," he said, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN. "And it pisses me off when we start talking about things outside of the next game. Things that are way down the road. Like, focus on, keep the focus on the present, on the now, and worry about getting better each and every day." Everyone else can look at the big picture, and for what it's worth, in the grand scheme of things, this is still a Packers team that can win the Super Bowl this season. They've got an elite defense that held Cleveland to zero points through three quarters, and when they're clicking, Love leads an offense that can put up points. A Week 3 loss won't determine the Packers' ultimate Super Bowl aspirations, but it's absolutely a sign that this team needs to get focused and stop reading its own press clippings. The phrase "any given Sunday" is around for a reason. The other team gets paid to try to beat you each and every single week, and the Packers clearly forgot that was the case with the Browns. Can they learn from it? That's clearly the message that LaFleur is trying to get across to his team. "I think it's always a good reminder, like, 'Hey guys, pump the brakes on everything. We're just trying to win one game at a time,'" LaFleur said. "And if you're thinking [beyond that] or have your sights set on anything outside of that, I think you're focused on the wrong things. Like, we've got to be focused on trying to get better. Obviously today, the focus is on first of all being honest about the tape and what the tape says, and then learning from that, and then it's moving on."
The Dallas Cowboys’ defense endured another poor outing in Week 3. The team’s efforts to rebound will likely include a shorthanded unit on offense. CeeDee Lamb exited the Week 3 loss against the Bears with an ankle injury and did not return. It became clear afterwards that further testing would be needed to determine the severity of his injury. The All-Pro wideout now looks to be in line to miss time. “Certainly, he’s got a high ankle sprain and every one of those are different,” Cowboys COO Stephen Jones said of Lamb during a Monday appearance on 105.3 The Fan, via ESPN’s Todd Archer. “We’d love to have him back for Green Bay but at the same time we also got to understand the injury is what it is and we’ll play it out.” The Cowboys will play the Packers in Week 4, so Jones’ comments leave the door open to Lamb managing to avoid any missed time. Based on the reports which have emerged Monday afternoon, however, it appears far more likely Dallas will be without him for a short stretch. A timeline of two to four weeks is being considered internally, as first reported by Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News. Since then, both Archer and WFAA’s Ed Werder have pointed to an absence between three and four weeks. Provided those are accurate, Lamb can be considered a lock to at least miss the Cowboys’ upcoming game against a Green Bay defense featuring Micah Parsons. Injured reserve is not being considered in this case, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. As such, Lamb is eligible to return at any time without needing to miss a stretch of four games or longer. The four-time Pro Bowler being back at full strength will be critical for the Cowboys’ offense, of course. On the other hand, it would be sensible to proceed with caution while managing Lamb’s injury. That could especially be true with George Pickens in the fold. Pickens will be counted on to operate as Dallas’ top pass-catching option until Lamb is healthy. It will be interesting to see when that will prove to be the case as the Cowboys aim to improve on their 1-2 start.
The Green Bay Packers are coming off of a frustrating and humiliating loss to the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Going into the game, many expected Green Bay to win easily, but they fell 13-10 in what was one of the worst games in Matt LaFleur‘s tenure as head coach. It was, by far, the offense’s worst game of the season, and the special teams was its usual disappointing self. The Packers defense, though, performed admirably once again, allowing 13 points on short fields. Rashan Gary had two sacks, giving him an NFL-leading 4.5 on the season. Micah Parsons, as has been his norm since arriving in Green Bay, was a wrecking ball, drawing double-teams and penalties while still generating pressure on the quarterback. And as the Packers look to get back to their winning ways, they look ahead to Week Four and a Sunday night showdown with Parsons’ former team, the Dallas Cowboys, who will be without multiple key offensive players. Micah Parsons the Green Bay Packers defense will face a depleted Dallas Cowboys offensive line It is yet to be seen what the Packers offensive line will look like when they play Dallas this upcoming Sunday night. Zach Tom only played one snap against Cleveland before leaving with his oblique injury and Aaron Banks left later in the game with a groin issue. Unfortunately, Green Bay’s depth on the offensive line was not good enough to overcome the formidable Browns defensive front, who made life miserable for Jordan Love all game long. But this Sunday, the Packers will not be the only team taking the field in Dallas with injuries on the offensive line. The Cowboys, too, will be without two of their own starters after rookie Tyler Booker was revealed to have suffered a high ankle sprain: Booker suffered a high ankle sprain to Dallas’ blowout loss to the Chicago Bears. While he finished the game, he is going to be out for the next 4-6 weeks. Additionally, the Packers will not have to worry about All-Pro Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, who will also be out for multiple weeks with an ankle sprain. Much has been said lately of Parsons returning to Dallas for the first time since the trade. And, given how beleaguered the Cowboys offensive line is, he could be in for a big game.
