The developer was expecting it to be a hit within the existing fan community, but he had no idea that it would cross over into the mainstream. Fans have been clamoring for a particular type of zombie game for a while now (and Cracked’s Robert Brockway pitched a similar idea recently) and the description of Day Z sounds like it fits the bill-so when the free alpha of the mod was released, lots of people bought a copy of ARMA II so they could give it a try. Why? Another team of developers One of the company’s developers released the alpha of a project he’d been working on independently: Day Z, a zombie-survival game built as an ARMA II mod. Then, two years after its release, and without getting any kind of promotional sale price, it started selling like crazy and surged to the front page of the Steam leaderboards. The game ARMA II: Combined Operations was on track to be another mostly-forgotten game, still enjoyed by a small group of fans with few other prospects. This week another example bubbled up on Reddit, in the form of a captioned screenshot of the Steam store titled “Dear developers, this is why you should make your games moddable”: Valve’s Counter-Strike series grew from a fan-made mod for Half-Life, which was so popular it has been credited with keeping Half-Life on gamers’ radars for years longer than it would have been otherwise, leading Valve to hire the creators and turn it into its own game, which remains one of the company’s most successful titles. In the video game world, a great example of this is when companies open their games up to mods, so users can tweak them or build entirely new games on top of the same basic engine. Not only does this benefit the economy as a whole, it benefits the originator, because some of the additional value that people create feeds back to them. Recently, Mike wrote about the importance of externalities and spillovers in economics, and the fact that it’s often best to allow other people to capture pieces of the value you create and build on top of it.

I ended up winning by completing the secondary objective of double kill on turn 5 and we both had an enjoyable time through the whole process. The tower attack never happened as we always managed to just be close enough in "mana" strength to avoid tower damage but we understood the concept relatively easily. We played a very forgiving game of take back actions, draw cards we forgot to grab etc, and it was actuality enjoyable. The outsider (while being complicated to use the first time around) wasn't as powerful as the lore led us to expect (which is actually a great thing as to not allow a huge power shift) and the mechanics and everything flowed very well. We were killing either others minions and heroes right away and enjoying the strategy of hero placement and the like. Truth be told, the game actually is super simple to play on the basic rules, without a worship action you do lose depth but you greatly gain quick action. I chose.red, she chose yellow and blue and I got the remaining green (Everything here has a specific name for the faction, their god and etc but they are complicated and super hard to remember), we build our decks as was exampled in the book, set up the board, got the objective cards and. That being said, we followed beginners draft, I was elected first play (which is only a bonus because you get a card that.lives on the table.or in your hand (unclear) and you never switch roles (maybe this is to allow 2nd player to always have the final hero activation? Missing this as an opportunity to display the game as shown in the tutorial to help the two parts flow together How to use the outsider (the wording on the card is a little strange and the fact that, if you don't know there will be other outsiders, and you read the provided outsider card "set up, they can't move" followed by his possible actions: MOVE, Skirmish (a action that you can move up to two times), etc you can get very confused.ģ. How to build a deck (Yes, an example is provided in the tutorial in the rules but a quick flash on screen of the deck would have been nice)Ģ. The 5 minute video does an excellent job showing you a super quick over view of parts, areas and heroes but it does miss out on important facts (especially for first game players) for:ġ. Wanting to test the waters before diving too deep, my fiancee and I sat down, watched the 5 minute tutorial video followed by her sleeveing the cards while I read the rules out-loud. While never really liking the video game version of this type of game, I actually quite enjoyed the table top version. OK, to start off, this is a M"O"BA (Multiplayer "Online" Battle Arena) Type game so your protecting your "bases" with your heroes and you generate little autonomous soldiers to assist. For regular city commutes for less, this is the best electric scooter. Plus, its brakes are extremely responsive, which is a nice touch as many e-scooters in this price range have subpar brake systems. It's not as amazing as my top choice when it comes to shock absorption, but it's still better than most other models I've tested. It's got great shock absorption, thanks in large part to its 10-inch tires, which means you'll ride smoothly even on a road full of potholes. I've spent considerable time with this e-scooter and found it to be much more capable than it looks. I would just recommend that you invest in a good U-lock to secure it, which is something I use anyway even if an electric scooter I'm using does have an anti-theft system. However, I didn't mind the minimal features since that didn't really affect its overall performance and usability. I found that it really isn't great for uphills either. To knock a couple of hundred bucks off its tag, TurboAnt has stripped it of extra frills, like security features and a more spacious deck. There's also its incredibly lightweight design, which typically add a premium. It's our best value pick not just because of its affordable price tag, but because we found it to be very robust, it's build better than any of its rivals in this price range. You'll be surprised at how solid and well-made the TurboAnt M10 considering its price. Is this the best electric scooter overall? A thousand times yes. The best part is that for all of that and more, the NIU KQi3 Pro is surprisingly, amazingly affordable – more affordable than other premium e-scooters with less features. So while it doesn't actually prevent someone from loading it on the back of their truck, you can count on it to make a huge fuss, which will hopefully deter petty thieves. Once it’s activated, an alarm will go off if someone tries to wheel the scooter away, ride it, or turn it on. The anti-theft feature is uncommon among e-scooters within this price range and is therefore a nice treat. I took it out on this pothole-ridden road near my house and didn't find it necessary to weave through it just to avoid the small potholes and big cracks.īut, it takes more than that to convince folks, which is why NIU also slapped on amazing features like regenerative brakes, the always-on Halo headlight and rear light, zero starting (which activates as soon as you hit 200 riding meters for safety), and anti-theft. Each tire on this is 2.5 inches thick, allowing the scooter to have amazing shock absorption – not to mention, incredible traction. Its brilliant fat tires, it turns out, are the ticket to a smooth ride. Besides, what this impressive model does offer is much more important: comfort. But, these days, having a svelte e-scooter is no longer the priority. The NIU KQi3 Pro may not have that sleek and lightweight design that seems to have been the very first marker of an excellent electric scooter. Whether you're a casual user, a daily commuter, or a hill rider, you'll find the ideal one for you on this list. The best electric scooters actually offer plenty of benefits to the riders and to the environment when ridden safely. If you prefer something cheaper, however, I would recommend the TurboAnt M10, which punches above its weight (or rather, its price). In this guide, I focused on those that are ideal for everyday commutes and running errands instead of expensive performance models that boast much higher top speeds, with the NIU KQi3 Pro as my top pick for its combination of comfort, performance, and affordability. And, I gathered the best models in this guide, considering things like performance, weight and ease of use, build, and features like app support and anti-theft protection. I've tested many e-scooters myself, from the best budget e-scooters and the best electric scooters for students to the more premium ones. What's more, they will get you out of an artificial air environment and breathe fresh, natural air much like the best electric bikes. They'll help you limit your carbon footprint and minimize air pollution and road congestion. While these alternative means of transport may seem like nothing but glorified toys for adults, e-scooters actually offer a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable means of commuting. Scroll down and select the texture you want to remove and tap DELETE. Then tap MANAGE and this will bring up the list of all content that was imported into the game. To delete this content, choose GET CONTENT from the main screen. Plus the list can take a long time to build when there are many items. This will keep the game file from getting too big. You will want to delete skins, textures and worlds you no longer want in the game. They leave a 6 pixel gap at the top, in which the pointer resides. The face (including the 'highlight' pixels) and sides leave a single pixel gap at their left and a 5 pixel gap at the right.See the image for the orientation and shape. The portion for the pointer is 12 x 4 pixels.The portion for the sides is 59 x 16 pixels and is stretched or shrunk to fit the space.This applies to the sides and bottom of the face but not the top. I.e., a 'sliver' of another pixel around the outsides is used to highlight the very edges of the device. The face is 56 x 40 pixels and uses the same technique for edges as the thermometer.The hygrometer applies the texture in pieces as well. The following 'dimensions' are based on a 64 x 64 size pattern. The layout of this texture is shown in the first image. Although this may be a bug, the top of the slot uses an unusual section which is pointed out in the second image. The face is the primary portion but the sides have their own area as well as the "mercury" and the background behind it. The thermometer has 5 different sections to the texture. Others may use different parts of a single texture in different ways. Some items may use all or parts of several different textures. Most blocks are simply "wrapped" in their texture but some are special. There are plenty of textures available for download as well. Plus there are people there who may help you create your texture. There are also good resources for texture makers on the official forum. You will need to identify each block in the image file. You will likely have to use a paint program, or one like photoshop. Most picture editors do NOT have this capability. To change the image, you must open it in a program that allows you to modify the image on a pixel-by-pixel basis. Otherwise it is very difficult to get the proper sizes and locations exactly correct. The best way to create a new texture image is to start with an existing one and modify it. The world will now be using the texture you chose. Now back out to the CURRENT WORLDS screen and tap PLAY. Scroll through the list and select the texture you want to use in this world. It may take a minute if you have a lot of them to pick from. Tap the textures box and a drop-down menu will show up. One is for the texture and the other for the skin. At the top of this screen are two selection boxes. This is the screen where you choose the world you want to play in. To apply a texture to a world, you have to be in the CURRENT WORLDS screen. Again, the Uploading and Downloading page will teach you how to do that.Īfter a skin or texture is downloaded and imported, it is available to the game. However, you may wish to have it backed up locally. This is because it is already online and that IS the backup. When you download ANY file from Community Content or use the Copy Link method, the file is NOT backed up to the SD. You will have to use the technique described on the Uploading and Downloading page to import them into the game. This method will NOT automatically import the texture into the game. See the Uploading and Downloading page for details. If you have the link copied into the clipboard, you can use this method to download and automatically import the texture into the game. It will be downloaded and automatically imported into the game. Scroll through the files list until you find the texture you want to try and select it. When you are in the Community Content list screen, there is a drop-down menu at the top-right, where you choose to see only textures. Many of these were 'ripped' from popular games. This will teach you how to use the built-in loader and how to direct download files then import them into the game. This wiki has a collection of individual Block Images that can be downloaded. See the page on Uploading and Downloading first. Textures (and worlds and skins) can be downloaded completely free from Community Content or from other sites including the forum. Block Images has a wide variety of images of all sorts ready to download and use for your textures. This article describes how to get and use textures but does not provide textures or links to them. Block textures are used to change the appearance of the blocks in the world.

SSD is causing beachballing, can’t isolate exactly when or whyĪnything that appears on this list needs immediate attention. Ok, I've done the EtreCheck, here are the results. I've isolated the problem to the SSD and macOS, It has 10 gigs of RAM and seems to be fine (never had a problem with my mac before upgrading it to SSD). The problem seems to be only related to macOS. One important fact is that I have bootcamp installed with Windows 10 Pro and it works perfectly fine, even when running several apps like Adobe Suite and GIS. I spoke with Crucial and they told me they've been having issues with macOS lately, but he couldn't identify the problem. It's really annoying because I use it for work. I changed a few settings (Trim, sudden motion sensor, hard drive sleep) and it improved, now it is less often but still freezes when using single apps like Safari. The problem appeared as soon as I installed High Sierra, every few minutes the system froze for 30 seconds and then it worked again.

When Pork Chop realizes that the target is on your ship, they tell their men to stop firing. There’s a bounty on your head, so they tell their men to fire on you. Pork Chop gets an entire fleet to surround you, there’s no way out. Colonel Pork Chop was tasked with capturing the a high value target that happens to be on your ship. We’ll get that ancient technology in the next game (probably).Īlso, terrible villains. But who am I kidding, you and I both know that it’s just sequel bait. And like in Valkyria Chronicle, I wonder to myself if it would not be more interesting to play in that war, rather than the one today. It just boggles my mind because I can’t come up with too much in the way of plausible justifications. What you have is a civilization that used to rule the galaxy, they had an internal conflict, that got resolved somehow, and in that resolution all of this super fancy technology got lost. We’re comparing the technology of two different civilizations. Why is 2016 technology less advanced than 1945 technology? The key difference is the location. There are people living on Indonesian islands today, which, should they ever join the civilized world and look through history, they’ll see that the United States completed an atomic bomb capable of leveling cities in 1945. Let me be clear, this is not inherently bad. The mistake is in ancient civilizations having more powerful technology than ours today. But the game makes this mistake and I hate when this mistake is made because I can very rarely find a good way to justify it. Everyone knows about them because they still exist today in a drastically weakened state. There’s also an ancient civilization that used to rule the galaxy. The rest of the game we follow Captain Shields and his quest to take revenge for his planet. If you choose anything other than become a pirate, you probably hate fun. After that, you can choose to fly the flag of your old military OR become a pirate. But before you go, you get to see Alderaan Cera blown up by their Death Star Legion’s powerful laser. On the day of her field test, you are attacked and your field test has to be cut short as you run away from superior firepower. You were given the command of a ship called the Sunrider (roll credits). Though another character is named Kryska Stares so… it’s a close battle. You play Kayto Shields which might be the dumbest name I’ve ever seen in a visual novel. War will break out, and planets will be massacred… (dun dun dun) The Solar Alliance wishes to remain neutral, but that can only be maintained for so long. The Neutral Rim is slowly being taken over by the evil Empire PACT. In that same vein, they feel necessary due to the way that the story is written. They seemed only to artificially increase the playtime. I had originally hoped that it would focus more on the strategy game but as I played it, I realized that the battles were kind of a waste. This is a visual novel and tactical turn-based strategy game. So I sought out the sequel, it was free so no harm, no foul. I had a few guesses, namely that New Game gave me a laundry list of options and I’m like “Hmm… there’s an import button there to import an old save. I had actually bought the sequel on sale without knowing that it was a sequel. A week without a computer and a week to play the next game.

You can opt to pledge $300 for the higher reward tier if you're feeling generous, but as far as we can tell, the only difference is the additional $50 expenditure. At the lower, $249 level, you can secure yourself a Nimble device, three capsule sets, and a charging cable in the box. Though you'll want to take it with a grain of salt given the history of crowdfunding platforms, Nimble says it will start shipping the first batch of units within 5-6 months with an estimated delivery window of October 2021. More features have yet to be announced, but Nimble has stated that they will make their way to the app through software updates down the line. In addition to letting you know when it's time for a manicure, a customer support chat function is available within the app for added convenience. From it, you can order new polishes, keep track of stats, upload photos to social media, and more. To tie it all together, Nimble is compatible with a dedicated app that talks to the device over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The company asserts its capsules are vegan, non-toxic, and recyclable, as well as "13-free." Backers will be able to make their color choices at the end of the campaign. At its entry-level reward tier, the Nimble comes with three capsule sets containing three capsules each, for a total of nine nail polish capsules. While proprietary "pods" aren't exactly ideal given the uncertainty of Kickstarter campaigns, they do come in a variety of colors including nudes, reds, and bare shades. As for the types of nail polish you can use with Nimble, it is limited to capsules available from the company itself.

The game was met with generally positive reception upon release, with praise going towards the graphics, sound design, and atmosphere. The Nintendo Switch version released on Maon the Nintendo eShop. Due to development delays, the game was ultimately released on Apfor Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. A gameplay demo was then released at both PAX East and E3 2016 on April 22 and June 15 respectively, with a release originally slated for Autumn 2016. Shortly after the release and popularity of Outlast, Red Barrels announced the sequel. Both get separated in a helicopter crash, and Blake has to find his wife while traveling through a village inhabited by a deranged sect that believes the end of days are upon them.

There are still lots of places left to scan, and you can scan as many places you like depending on how many florans you want. You can also hire these people as your mechanics. Once you scan this statue, you will get this option that the quest is complete.Īs you move on, you will find some more guys, and when you scan these guys, you will find that these are carrying some mechanic tools. When you move along, you will find a statue. You can check the worth of this backpack, and you can also check what it is supposed to do, I mean, the exact purpose of this backpack. Because of how the fruit grows and produces a floran, I think the fruit is actually a womb of sorts, producing a floran child. So, this floran is carrying a medic military backpack. However, it would make more sense for the plant to directly grow a floran as a fruit, rather than what happens it the animation, which would make the floran closer to a seed than a fruit. When you scan the floran, the table of items will look like this So let’s scan this floran that we just found. Now when you find a floran, you scan it and you come to know the things that it is carrying. And this is how the florans look like by the way. Whenever you see a guy like this, understand immediately that this is a floran. So it is advised that whenever you see such mob, avoid it at first, but if it still attacks you, then fight and show the devil what you are capable of. But, some mobs are very dangerous and harmful they will attack you right away when they see you. There are also different places on the way where you will find the mobs instead of indulging in those distractions, you need to move ahead and focus on your task which is finding the florans. All you have to do is follow the tracks, and keep on scanning items until finally, you get a floran. I should remind you again that this is quite a normal and plain place, there is no need to worry, and there is no danger here at all. Here, I recommend that you move by sprinting because in this way you will be able to get things much easier and much faster. So I guess no one found the Easter Egg in the comic. Floran are so cute when they figure things out on their own and are generally wrong. We have left the green tunnel, and now we are moving towards its left. And the only possible thing to fill it is that there are potted plants in the club and the Floran assumed that the potted plants were little mini nurseries. It also has one disadvantage: it uses lots of energy, but as you know energy goes up again pretty fast. This is because when you are stuck somewhere and the only resort that can save you from this is double jumping. I would also recommend that when you are upgrading your abilities, try to upgrade sprint and jumping first more than anything else. Keep in mind that whenever you receive special abilities, like double jump, make use of it to the maximum extent. When their hats are taken off (using a mod) you can actually see that they are Florans.Here you need to scan the rest of the stuff, and then you can go back upwards. This is probably how all Agaran life started, and this can be supported by the fact that Agarans use Floran furniture and armor. I'm saying that Drysap slowly turns Florans into Agarans, and when ready to finally transform they form a cocoon and mutate completely. You can probably tell what I'm trying to say. Drysap is said to physically enhance a Floran's bodily strength and multiplies inside their blood and takes over, sort of like a virus. In the final edition of "a greenguard's journal", the greenguard (who has been under the worse effects of drysap) wants to burn his friends and be "reclaimed by the oaken army". The fungal pods (that the Agarans presumably come out of) are described as "Floran in origin" by the glitch. They were deliberately feeding them drysap. Guess what's in the jail cell.Ī drysap dispenser. You can find an Agaran setpiece that has a small house with a jail cell (housing a Floran) under it. Lore found in the Dust (aka Floran prison) tells of how drysap can have horrible effects on Florans, especially those of higher intellect, and how it causes "physical changes" to the body and an actual hatred of other Florans. Greenfinger, when he first found it, sent it to the Dust to see if they have any use for it there. Perhaps this should go in "The Agaran Menace" thread, but I think it deserves it's own because I'm arrogant.Īnyway, I came up with this theory about drysap. The first vizier recorded by name – Kaimen – is attested as a donor of several stone vessels to the king’s cult. Also from his reign came the first fully-developed grammatical sentences known in ancient Egyptian. The first decorated tombs in Abusir and the Saqqara necropolis date to Djoser’s reign, and he was the first king to send mining expeditions to Sinai to produce copper. While no break in political development seemed evident between the second and third dynasties, the reign of Djoser marked a new era characterized by an incredible rise in complexity of the Old Kingdom state. This achievement corresponds with the spread of monumental stone architecture during the reign of Khasekhemwy, last king of the second dynasty and Djoser’s predecessor on the throne – and probably his father. But that precise location remains a mystery despite most experts agreeing the tomb should be somewhere at today’s Saqqara and Abusir.Īccording to later legends, Imhotep – “he who comes in peace” – invented building in stone around 2600 BCE, at the beginning of the 3rd dynasty. His tomb is important because it could reveal more about this important figure’s life and career. Since Egyptology began as a scientific discipline in the 19th century, several generations of explorers and scientists have failed to identify where this esteemed, innovative figure in Old Kingdom history is buried. Of the many secrets of ancient Egypt’s pyramid builders, among the most intriguing is the undiscovered final resting place of one of the most famous Egyptian sages and scientists: Imhotep. |
