![]() ![]() This is how internet native players want to find and play new games - a continuously hyperlinked world of games and streams that makes it possible to see, follow and play without having to stop to manually search for anything. They’ve also got a really slick linking mechanism that allows you to download apps right from the App Store if you see a clip of them being shared on your feed. The experience of discovering, downloading and playing a game is better with a Backbone installed than even Apple Arcade now that the team is getting more into curation. I’ve personally played a lot of Destiny 2 over Stadia on Backbone and it feels fantastic, I can’t wait for it to be more directly integrated into the dash with clipping and social like the Xbox cloud titles are today. The way that Backbone unifies gaming experiences across AAA iOS ports like Warzone or Minecraft, Xbox and Playstation Remote Play and now native xCloud games feels like the way of the future for mobile gaming in a way that none of the individual players, including Apple, has managed to get right.Įven though xCloud games are web based they are treated and presented as native apps inside Backbone’s really well done dashboard. The game controller pedigree of the team shows (some original Xbox 360 controller team members worked on Backbone) but the software aspects are the most impressive. The Backbone team continues to impress with its slick and clever integrations and solid instincts. The package even makes use of an AppClip to display an AR version of Backbone running xCloud for people happening on the retail packaging at a store. There’s also a big callout for Xbox Remote Play, a feature that’s still super under-utilized and actually quite good on current-gen consoles. There’s also a new Xbox Game Pass feed and a way to move between Xbox and iOS games in the same interface. The Capture Button on Backbone One works with Xbox Cloud Gaming and lets you share it as a link. ![]() It’s one of the best gaming apps I’ve seen on iOS in years, and it has big potential to create a cross-universe place to play for the biggest gaming audience in the world. It’s been updating that dashboard to get better about showing you games, exposing you to new games and letting you use its clipping features to share killer plays with your friends. ![]() In my last piece, I noted how Backbone cleverly used the accessory APIs built into iOS to offer super slick functionality for its cross-game dashboard. It’s getting bundled with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate as it launches on iOS today alongside the xCloud game streaming service.Īs a part of the deal, Backbone is being bundled with Xbox Game Pass in a new retail packaging that gets the Designed for Xbox stamp, making a Backbone + iPhone combo the closest thing we’ve ever seen to a portable Xbox. Backbone One, the killer iPhone game pad I profiled here late last year, has just scored the mother of all tie-ups for a gaming accessory. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() Dispel has become one of the most respected names in dice, making creative, unique designs you can find nowhere else, and marrying it to top quality craftsmanship. In short: once the production stops, it stops for good, so if you want something you see here… now’s the time to get it!ĭispel Dice are slightly oversized, highly readable polyhedral dice, crafted in resin and left sharp-edged. But there is no guarantee any particular items will be available, and no additional product will be made beyond the fulfillment production run. We may have a small amount of overstock from the fulfillment, since it’s standard to produce more than necessary in case of defects, replacements and other potential issues, and we reserve the right to sell this overstock at conventions or on our website. However, once the fulfillment concludes, and the dice and Dice Vaults from the Elemental Collection are all made and shipped, none of these items will ever be produced again. There is no limit to the amount of items anyone can order, nor is there a limit to the amount of backers. The production will include all demand from the finalized pledge manager orders, as well as any pre-orders (if offered). I’ve ordered the three sets, feeling much more comfortable doing so, and will be posting them when they come in! And naturally, if Dispel decides to comment, I’ll update this–but radio silence so far.The Elemental Collection is being offered in this campaign, and will be produced in one continuous production run. That said, after seeing there was demand for this kind of thing, the factory representative then said in the thread that they were looking at developing more designs and would continue to produce their own dice, which I am very excited about! If anything good came of this, it’s that a new dice company has emerged to sell extremely interesting new product □ They’ve been selling on Wish under the name Ice Dice (pictured above), but I don’t know if they’ll be keeping that name. Realizing there would be no more orders coming from Dispel, and with COVID-19 halting all production, they decided to sell off the 2100 to recoup their costs. ![]() ![]() Notably, this means we have zero pictures of product from the actual factory that will be fulfilling the kickstarter. They refused the 2100 set order saying it was unauthorized, and then the factory got word that Dispel was in the process of setting up their own production, using the pictures they’d taken of their machines and process. Dispel’s owner then asked to tour their factory (a fairly common request for dice companies), but covertly took pictures of the process, and then became very hard to get ahold of. Dispel placed a further order for 2100 sets. The factory put a ton of time, resources, and effort into R&D to achieve these standards, thinking it a reasonable investment as Dispel had made all sorts of claims as to the amount of product they’d be ordering, and sent a couple of orders (50 and 600 sets respectively) to Dispel. Tl dr: According to the representative, Dispel came to this factory asking for quality previously unknown to commercial dice-making, basically handmade-level quality. People have ordered them and they’ve arrived gorgeous as the pictures, but I had refrained until now for ethical reasons.Ī representative from the factory just came forward on Facebook to tell their side of the story–Dispel themselves have been completely silent on the whole matter, by the way. There’s a lot to it, but the one we’re gonna talk about right now is the way Dispel’s designs have turned up on Wish for purchase long before their anticipated ship date of November 2020. So I’m not sure how closely people on here follow dice drama, but there has been no end of discourse over the Dispel Dice kickstarter since before it even started running. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you want to recover more data then you must pay the company more money, or upgrade to the $419 professional system. The small print is that each version of the ONE solution carries a data recovery limit, ranging from 12GB for the smallest model, to 1TB for the $179 edition. The system is powerful, easy-to-use and highly effective and recovered data (I’d deleted for the purposes of this review) from two Macs (a functional iMac and a damaged MacBook). The combined hardware/software solution of Data Rescue ONE is equally as good, with enhanced support from the company’s teams of crack data recovery specialists. I can recommend Prosoft's Data Rescue 4 software to anyone who needs to rescue lost data. ![]() ![]() Once the scan is complete just choose what data you want to recover and it will be rescued to the ONE drive. Scanning can take many hours, depending on the quantity of data and condition of the drive. You can see more info on how it works in Prosoft's video, posted below: The Mac must be running Mac OS X 10.7.5 or later. You’ll be asked to register your software (you get an email with a registration code) and which drive you wish to boot into, choose Data Rescue ONE and the system will scan your drive to see what can be restored. This is very easy to use – just shut your Mac down, connect the system to your computer using the included USB cable, and restart while pressing the Option key. (The professional solution offers unlimited data recovery and telephone support, more below). With prices ranging between $49 and $419, four solutions are available, consisting of the software and either a 16GB (flash drive, $49), 500GB, 1TB and 1TB professional drive. It will then scan and recover lost data from your machine. With Prosoft Data Rescue ONE, the company has taken a new direction, offering an essential hardware-based solution, consisting of an external hard drive equipped with the capacity to launch Data Rescue on your broken Mac. The company also offers its own full physical data recovery service. Prosoft has been offering excellent software products for simple yet effective data recovery that has led the industry since 2002, offering free trials of many of these (for Mac and Windows). Prosoft Data Rescue ONE is the kind of solution that would have got at least some of those precious moments back. For example, shortly after my mother died one of my Macs failed and I lost nearly all my photos of her. Data is important – your images, music collection, personal documents, tax records – all this information is valuable and losing it has consequences. Prevention and cureīackup is critical, of course, and if you don’t backup please, please take action now before you lose your data. We’ve all been using computers long enough that we should all know that from time to time they go wrong, and when they do you need an arsenal of solutions to help you recover lost data – recent backups and data recovery tools are two of the most essential investments you should make before disaster strikes. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Oxford English Dictionary traces the first usage of "chop chop" in print to an 1834 article in the Canton (Ohio) Register. Several etymological dictionaries trace the origins of the word to a version of pidgin English used on ships (and later by Chinese servants and traders who regularly interacted with foreigners). Wikipedia and The Phrase Finder both talk about the etymology of chop chop, meaning "hurry up" or "quickly, quickly!" We can learn a lesson from this story – don’t allow the economy, our careers, or goals and personal ambitions to replace the possibility of a closer walk with our Savior.Perhaps your dad added the "suey suey" part on his own, maybe for humorous effect? They chose their wealth, their careers, the things of this life to replace the possibility of knowing a Savior. By the livestock dying, their livelihood died, or was in jeopardy of dying, with it. Many believe its because Jesus “crashed” their economy. Matthew 8īut the villagers didn’t just want to meet Jesus, they wanted to ask him to leave. And when they saw him, they pleaded with him to leave their region. 34 Then the whole town went out to meet Jesus. 33 Those tending the pigs ran off, went into the town and reported all this, including what had happened to the demon-possessed men. 31 The demons begged Jesus, “If you drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.”ģ2 He said to them, “Go!” So they came out and went into the pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and died in the water. “Have you come here to torture us before the appointed time?”ģ0 Some distance from them a large herd of pigs was feeding. 29 “What do you want with us, Son of God?” they shouted. They were so violent that no one could pass that way. 28 When he arrived at the other side in the region of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs met him. God’s work intrigued the people of that village and they went out to meet Jesus. The story says that the farmers went into the town and shared what had happened with the whole town. While the imagery of the pigs is fascinating, the witness and testimony of the pig farmers is what is important in this lesson. Instead of yelling “sooie” to the pigs, he yelled “Go!” at the evil spirits and released the spirits into the herd.Īs the evil spirits inhabited the pigs, the pigs reacted in a fascinating way by rushing to the bank of the field and went into the lake and died in the water. The evil spirits within the men challenged Jesus to drive them out of the bodies they inhabited and told Jesus to send them into the herd of pigs. Matthew’s Gospel, in chapter eight shares a story about a large herd of pigs who were feeding out in a field when two men who were possessed by evil spirits encountered Jesus. For centuries farmers in the UK and around the world have used the sound “sooie” to call for their pigs when their food was ready to be slopped. ![]() ![]() The Latin name for the family to which pigs belong is “suidae,” pronounced “soo-ee-dai.” The Latin word for hog or pig is “sus” sounding like “sooH.” As the English language developed the word translated to “sowe (soo-weh) and mimicked the sound of a pig’s squeal. Have you ever wondered why pig farmers yell “sooie” when calling for their hogs ![]() ![]() ![]() The first game in the series was released in 1987, with 15 numbered main entries having been released to date. The franchise centers on a series of fantasy and science fantasy role-playing video games. An absolute masterpiece from start to finish.Final Fantasy is a Japanese science fantasy anthology media franchise created by Hironobu Sakaguchi and developed and owned by Square Enix (formerly Square). Also, there’s a funny octopus who tries to ruin an opera by dropping an anvil. Final Fantasy VI is a classic with incredible set pieces, unforgettable moments, and arguably gaming’s greatest final boss theme. They told meaningful, unforgettable stories where even the smallest person could be a hero. No matter how small our role, we are valuable and deserving of love.įinal Fantasy VI is a reminder that these games excelled by striking the core of our humanity. Contrary to what you or Celes felt in that darkness, that spark is all it takes to change the world. Yet Final Fantasy VI drives this theme home by giving this hope to a character that resonates with feeling worthless amid utter despair. Final Fantasy often iterates on hope in hopeless circumstances. Celes survives and gains a glimmer of hope that her friends still live, and she chooses to persevere until she finds them. There’s a palpable feeling that you’ve done something irredeemable, tempting you to hit the reset button.Įxcept this doesn’t trigger a bad ending. Meanwhile, you are sharing this experience of failure with her. Watching Celes endure this is painful since her past sins already weigh on her. This triggers a heart-wrenching scene where Celes decides life is no longer worth living. Many will say Final Fantasy VII is overhyped, but in the case of this track alone, I’d say it deserves all the credit it gets. It’s such an emotive, complex piece that adds so much scale to the world and your journey in it. Talking about the great music in a Final Fantasy game is kind of a “duh” point to make, but I do want to go on record that the main theme of Final Fantasy VII is an absolute contender for Uematsu’s best work. Whether you love Final Fantasy VII or not, it’s easy to understand why this became the multimedia empire it is today. Also, Final Fantasy VII both appeals to genre newbies while providing customization to personalize each playthrough. Its subversive story subtly manipulates your agency and results in incredible moments that culminate in gaming’s most famous spoiler. ![]() I can confidently say that, despite the oversaturation of Final Fantasy VII media, the original game is a classic. Final Fantasy VII single-handedly changed the JRPG genre, and whether that was good or bad is up to you. That said, if you’re just looking for a great MMORPG, go ahead and jump straight into Final Fantasy XIV.ĭespite my diatribe on Final Fantasy XIV, I imagine this will be the most hotly contested ranking on this list. With this background, you’ll be primed to thoroughly enjoy Final Fantasy XIV. You’ll not only understand why so many people love this series, you’ll also get most of the references Final Fantasy XIV makes to the franchise’s history. If you strictly compare the single player experiences, you’ll get more concise games with more entertainment per minute compared to Final Fantasy XIV’s slow burn main scenario. How do you compare something so fundamentally different than the rest of the series?Īfter much deliberation, I arrived at this compromise: if you are new to the Final Fantasy series, play the subsequent games on this list first. I love this game dearly, yet ranking an MMORPG against single player RPGs is like ranking french fries and trying to fit in a potato field. ![]() From A Realm Reborn to Endwalker, this is, without a doubt, one of the greatest narratives in video game history. I have spent more hours in Final Fantasy XIV than any other video game and it’s not even close. Of all the entries on this list, this was the most agonizing to rank. ![]() ![]() ![]() Clementine begins to understand that in a world affected by the zombie virus, the most dangerous should not be considered dead, but people. As soon as life begins to improve, the main character's group is attacked by other survivors. In the second season, Clementine finds a new group of survivors, who, though with difficulty, but accepts a little girl into their shelter. Only a small handful of survivors are trying to resist the apocalypse. Now she is completely alone in a world where there is no one but the walking dead. Last season, a little girl named Clementine lost her friend Lee, who sacrificed himself to save the heroine. ![]() The game has a close connection with the TV series of the same name, which tells about the zombie apocalypse and demonstrates people's attempts to survive in a collapsing world. The famous American studio Telltale Games worked on the development. Season 2 is an episodic video game and a sequel to the first season, released in 2012. If you loved Season 1, you'll love Season 2.The Walking Dead: The Game. While the game struggles with some inconsistencies with Clementine's behavior, the game succeeds at forcing players to make gut-wrenching decisions. Thankfully, the story is as compelling as ever and you feel attached to every character in the game. The game is very much based on exploration, dialogue, and story. There are no new game mechanics like a new combat system. The Walking Dead: Season 2 Episode 1 "All that remains" doesn't deviate from Telltale's winning formula. Each character is believable, which is a must for such a story-driven game. The performances of every voice actor is outstanding. You'll want to wear headphones to get the best effect. You will see people die violent deaths and zombies will be killed in various ways. ![]() The cartoon styling doesn't make The Walking Dead Season 2 any less brutal. Season 2 looks, feels, and sounds exactly like the first season, which isn't a bad thing. Telltale Games has carved out an distinctive animation style. Graphics are not demanding and will run on even low end devices. Who can you trust? Do you kill preemptively just in case? These are some of decisions players have to make throughout the game. Many times I found myself struggling to chose an appropriate answer, struggling with how much humanity to give up in order to survive.Īs with the previous game, zombies are not your main foe humans are. This provides a stark contrast from the innocent and naive Clem we saw in Season 1.Ĭhoices are much harder to make in The Walking Dead: Season 2 Episode 1, than the previous season. You'll have to lie, sneak, and manipulate and convince the strangers to provide you shelter. She stumbles onto a house full of other survivors who debate whether to take her in. Without spoiling the story, Clementine finds herself alone after being separated from her companion. Players will instinctively want to protect Clem from danger but the linear gameplay forces you to put her in the middle of the violence. It's a bit jarring for players trying to maintain Clem's innocence. Many actions Clementine is forced to take are adult and brutal, yet she shows an uncharacteristic innocence and weakness afterward. This gameplay mechanic is what makes The Walking Dead so compelling but also problematic. ![]() ![]() The biggest risk of dating online is that it can make you feel very lonely. This can lead to getting hurt and losing money or property. For example, you may be more likely to get into a relationship with someone you don’t know well. Risks of dating onlineĭating online is also a risk because you do not know the person well enough to know if they are telling the truth. Do not go on dates set up by people you do not know well or who do not know the potential date well. ![]() If you’re being set up with a stranger, then you need to know how well they are known by the person setting you up. ![]() If you are set up on a blind date by someone you know well (sister, cousin, best friend), then be sure to ask how long they have known your potential date.
![]() ![]() First, pay attention to the part of the troops with the siege tower. But keep in mind that after that the enemy will send his troops there for a power capture. ![]() To do this, you will have to interrupt the points of influence laid down by your opponent. Upon completing the submission, the warlord will join you. This button is located in the same place, but slightly below. As soon as you collect the required amount of loyalty (it is different for each commander for example, the Tiger has 200), you can start "Submission". In this case, the game will automatically increase loyalty until you remember for it. You will have to wait between each promotion. Thus, an increase in loyalty by 10 points will cost you 20 diplomacy points, and by 20 - 50 points. But loyalty and diplomacy points are different things. Each of them increases the loyalty of this general towards you. Have you switched? Pay attention to the "+10" and "+20" buttons. ![]() You will see a tab with commands, but next to it there is a button to switch to the diplomatic capture tab. Next, open the commander's card and select Tiger or Buffalo. Choose a passive defense to keep your formation from collapsing. When you move around first, in an arbitrary formation, get to your destination, then set the formation "box" and turn in the direction of the enemy. There, be sure to create fire ballistas in order. All of them will come in handy in battles! There is also a siege camp on the side. Now create troops - as many as possible, archers, axes, and if there are no weapons, then do not shy away from hiring ordinary spearmen and warriors with blow guns. Then build a couple of large houses and some rice paddies so you can double your portions of rice and then increase taxes by the same amount. If you have diplomacy points, first upgrade it to get more wood. Instead, capture the closest commander as soon as possible and start ordering wood from him. There will be strong enemy troops, so you have nothing to catch on the other side. So, looking ahead, I will say that crossing the river is absolutely unnecessary and undesirable. Fight off the attack of local tribes and Hung warriors. When you have established production, stand at the intersection and follow the map. And you can get wood yourself from sawmills. You will have enough stone since in the future it will not be needed at all. Interact with them to collect additional resources. In addition, the locations have pallets with bags and barrels. It is better to make a little more archers to make it easier to capture enemy camps. Then build workshops for shooters and axes, and then create a squad of archers and axes. Build it all up and focus on building sawmills, rice paddies and home. The second purpose is the construction of an arsenal and barracks. Until you do this, the enemies, it seems, will not attack you. ![]() First, you need to finish building the wall. The stones are useful for several purposes. Subsequently, I recommend creating another quarry and a couple of harnesses. After killing everyone, gather the troops together, break the gates and complete the remaining objectives, including the lord.īuild vegetable fields, then create a quarry and a buffalo harness. Then pick up the moment, hire about 30-40 archers and use them to attack enemy archers on a stone wall. When ready, cross the river and capture the fifth general. Gold will be needed to hire all the same archers and axes. Two consulates should be enough to provide yourself with enough diplomacy points. Continue to hire archers and axes, capture other commanders to the left and right of the first. Then build a consulate and send a letter to the commander for the supply of gold. Do not forget to build rice fields, at least one more workshop and a couple of sawmills. As soon as you conquer the first fortress, be sure to place archers on top. They can attack enemies from afar, which means you can conquer almost all commanders without significant losses. In general, archers work wonders at this location. As soon as you hire 5 archers and axes each, you can capture the nearest fortress of the commander. ![]() ![]() versi 2. Flashed original then flashed mod and both times no problem.

Coloration varies greatly, but many butterflies are more colorful than average moths.(The larvae of several kinds of moths are agricultural and other pests.) The larvae (caterpillars) of butterflies are rarely considered destructive pests, although there are exceptions.Butterflies often have relatively thinner bodies than moths, though members of the skipper family of butterflies have thicker, mothlike bodies.(Most moths are nocturnal, but there are exceptions.) Some species are most active at dusk and dawn. When does it fly? Butterflies are usually active during daylight hours.(Some species may use silk to fold a leaf together, then enter metamorphosis in the tentlike shelter.) (Moth pupae are often wrapped in a silk cocoon, frequently are positioned in leaf litter, and the cocoons often incorporate bits of leaves, twigs, etc.) During metamorphosis, the chrysalis of butterflies is usually attached to a plant or other object, and it is not enclosed in a cocoon.(There are exceptions, but moths typically fold their wings over their body like a tent, or hold them flat but swept back at an angle to the body, looking triangular from above.) The typical wing position, when perched, is either straight out to the sides (“wings open”), or the wings are held together, straight up over the body.(Meanwhile, moths’ antennae are filaments with no club tip, or else they are shaped like feathers.) ![]() In the skipper family of butterflies, the antennae tips are also hooked. Antennae, in butterflies, are filaments tipped with a club.Most of us have a general idea of what a butterfly looks like, but to be certain, note the following characteristics: The scales can be brightly colored, or they can be drab.Ībout 700 species of butterflies (including the skippers) occur in North America north of Mexico. These seem like dust when they rub off onto your fingers. Like moths, they have tiny, overlapping scales on their wings.

In North America, the Lepidoptera - the insect order comprising all the moths and butterflies - contains more than 30 superfamilies. ![]() |
