7/31/2023 0 Comments Chernobylite ps4 reviewThankfully, Chernobylite plays it fairly safe and respectful, preferring to focus on its own fictional, fantastical story first and foremost (even if that’s not necessarily the best part of exploring the exclusion zone). Still, it naturally carries a risk of being tasteless, given real people actually died and others were impacted horrifically because of negligence and stubbornness. It’s not the first piece of media to attempt such a depiction. The Chernobylite’s effects mean there are trips back in time to see the disaster as it occurred. Handy considering you’re searching for your wife, who vanished 30 years ago. That includes the titular Chernobylite, a fictional mineral created by the disaster zone that can be used to power a portal gun that can jump back and forth in time. The meat of the game is about survival, so most of it is spent venturing into the exclusion zone, fending off the many hostile presences out for your blood, whilst looking for supplies and materials. Not as a rubble-strewn land of post-apocalyptic disaster, but as a place truly abandoned and feasted on by scavengers and invaded by nature, I’d almost prefer to explore it as is, rather than have the supernatural element digging its claws into the place, because plenty is haunting about Chernobyl without the need for ghouls and portals. Not only as a recreation of the place itself (helped along by developer the Farm 51 actually going to Chernobyl and using 3D scanning tech to translate the real-world exclusion zone into digital form) but in the visual style, that captures the abandoned hell of the place in the present. The game’s depiction of Chernobyl is impressive. By ensuring both the narrative and the world can be altered in ways that are both big and small, Chernobylite ’s exclusion zone manages to make you feel like you’re a part of its ecosystem. Any of these decisions can tilt the balance of an already hostile environment in favor of you or against you.Ĭhoices in games are often quite straightforward when examined from afar, and usually have a negligible impact on the game world and its story overall. Along the way, you’ll have to make choices, both on a personal level and in how you move forward and develop your headquarters. The story structure is what sets it apart. then, right? The comparison is fair as it naturally takes a lot of inspiration from that. It seems the disaster has brought out something far more unpleasant and otherworldly. If only that were the only threat out there. He re-enters Chernobyl searching for her whilst forging unsteady relationships and encountering those who raid the wastelands for its tainted loot. While the tale is undeniably linked to those tragic events, it manages to craft its own story through tough moral choices and flexibility to its survival systems.Ĭhernobylite sees the protagonist, Igor, once a physicist working at the power plant itself, haunted by his wife’s disappearance during the disaster some 30 years previous. Thankfully there’s no awkward attempt to sell it straight in the story. Chernobylite attempts to faithfully recreate the surrounding area of the infamous real-life disaster, right down to the power plant at the center of it. Does it do enough to differentiate from its fellow nuclear horror brethren?Īs the name implies, the reality aspect of the game is in its setting of Chernobyl. Chernobylite is another to take the real horrors of nuclear disaster with a large side of the fantastical. Games tend to treat it as a grim playground, with the odd example party grounded in reality ( S.T.A.L.K.E.R. The harrowing impact of a radioactive disaster can be seen in gut-punching films such as When the Wind Blows, where the terror is born from the bleak reality of what it can do. The fascination with nuclear apocalypse as a form of horror is understandable given how the threat of it lingers in the background of our own lives as silent and menacing as radiation itself.

How can you helpful to somebody in need? Find three words to describe what you are capable of and make them your 2023 theme. Now, what are you good at? Can you cook finger-licking meals? Is your singing voice able to relieve someone’s negative feelings? We tend to have more strengths than we realize and sometimes the ones we’re aware of are still stronger or more useful than we care to admit.įocus on three of your best abilities or traits. Are you kind, or smart, or quick-witted? List all the qualities that come to mind. Start by journaling about what you like in yourself. Even when the you-are-enough mindset seems like a distant dream, we still have a lot to offer to the world, yet it might take a bit more time and inner work to uncover. What are your three strengths and how can you use them to add more value to your life and the lives of others? It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.” 3. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. In the words of author Marianne Williamson, “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Journal about your reasons, journal about your aspirations, then journal your way to motivation. Or perhaps your plans of writing your first novel never came to fruition because your idea was not good enough for the highly competitive publishing industry (or so you thought). Maybe you failed to muster the courage to ask that special person out on a date. Maybe you missed an opportunity to apply for a dream job because you felt unqualified. Sit back, take your time, and rummage through your mind. So what hindered your growth this past year? Was it something you didn’t do or something you did that wasn’t the right choice but you never fixed the situation? It’ll stay between you and your journal so no holding back, please. The most successful of us still experience hesitation, failure, or imposter syndrome. And self-doubt is what we all have in common. This annual transition period we’re in now is for defining what went wrong and what went right in the last year. Once you get some clarity from the first prompt, it’s time for even more honesty. What is something you’ve been too afraid to do this year that you know would bring you closer to your dream life? Your reality will expand in directions you didn’t know it could.

Use the stream of consciousness method and let it all out as it is - no editing. Remember, the pages have zero expectations. Is there anything lying heavy in your heart? Maybe it’s an unkind person, or a negative habit ? Whatever it is for you, pinpoint it and work through it in your journal. Something within ourselves recenters, we reevaluate a thing or two, and we are ready to forgive, and maybe even forget. But with the much-needed transition from the old year to the new one comes the extra motivation to let go of anything that does not serve us well.

The game does not respond to dragging across the letters well and makes winning that game difficult. The word hunt game is extremely frustrating. Football is extremely abstract and more of a reaction tester. This gives you a chance to Google an answer before you are actually forced to answer. You can easily keep your GPA up during quizzes as the game pauses after a teacher asks you a question. treat Beth nicely and come to her rescue a couple of times and she will break up with you and avoid you at all costs). Though if you are a bit older, some things might make perfect sense (e.g. If you are in high school, you'll find some of the situations just as perplexing as real life. I found myself not wanting to put it down just to see what was going to happen next. Surviving High School's storyline is fun and engaging. SHS's has great western anime style graphics and decent sounds and music.īesides the main game of picking your way through the plot, there are also a bunch of mini-games that have an actual impact on the story. This helps immensely since the story line changes and adapts with every decision you make. SHS auto-saves whenever you pause (like, say, from a phone call) or whenever you exit the game. Their are extra episodes that can be bought as In App Purchases. You make choices about how your character reacts to different situations and the game changes the storyline around your decisions.Įvery Monday there is a new episode to download for free. Surviving High School plays out like a classic Japanese dating sim or a very complicated Choose Your Own Adventure story. Theįree trial version features a complete storyline, and I predict you’ll get hooked.Want to live the life of a teenager going through high school? Want to see if you can make the decisions that will win you the girl or guy of your dreams? Pick your path and see if you end up a jock, a nerd, a popular kid or an outsider. This game doesn’t sport the traditional EA $10 price tag, and it’s impressively detailed given its low cost. I played the game way longer than necessary to write this very review, because as silly as the high school stakes are, I wanted to know how my story would turn out. If you successfully win the popular girl and the state football championship on one play-through, you can play again and skew nerdier and try to win the goth chick instead. Part of Surviving High School’s genius, of course, is its innate replayability. You’ll also get to choose among various potential love interests, and who you choose to woo can have major impact on the storyline’s evolution. And since Dad promised you a sports car if you end the semester with a 3.5… It’s a tough call. Watching TV helps you get more popular (since you’ll be able to talk about pop culture), but doing extra homework can raise your GPA. In a football-themed episode, for example, you can choose whether to do homework, watch TV, or workout during your free time. When it comes to making decisions, they do directly impact the game. More clever mini-games, like the reflex-testing football mode, are a bit more clever. You’ll need to trace words in a letter grid, or tap the right words quickly out of a list. Some of these mini-games are fun initially, but none are especially engaging, and they all get tedious when they come up repeatedly. Other times, you’ll be thrust into small mini-games to determine just what happens. At decision points-do you want to propose a date at the mall, a dinner, or a movie?-you’ll simply tap your choice. You’re mostly presented with (well-drawn) static screens, where any animation is limited to the dialogue bubbles that appear. The gameplay itself is clever, but simple. Before he got locked up.” Overly dramatic moments skew towards the maudlin, with your love interest admitting her fear of water, or the bullying quarterback confiding about his brother’s death in a drunk driving accident. Plotting to steal back some stolen property, a student says: “‘Fight fire with fire and theft with theft,’ my old man always said. Surviving High School works best when it skews comedic: Your decision to take biology reminds the creepy guidance counselor that her biological clock is ticking, and she bemoans her ex’s restraining order. Fortunately, the stories are well-written albeit a little cheesy with their mix of high school drama and angst. Each story is told through copious amounts of dialogue you’ll tap incessantly to get through it before you hit various interaction points. 7/31/2023 0 Comments Visual paradigm 9To create the offering entity type, drag the entity icon to the canvas and rename it as offering. The canvas shows the course entity type with course number as the primary key, and attributes course description and course units. Click the add button again and type course units with smallint as a data type. Click the add button again and type course description as a name, varchar as a data type, and 200 as a length. Type course numbers as a name, select the primary key checkbox, chars a data type and type 10 as the length. In the columns tab, use the add button to open the attributes specification window. Change the entity name to course, then I will create attributes for course, right-click on the course entity type and select the open specification button to open the entity specification window. Now I will create the course entity type, drag the entity icon in the toolbar to the drawing canvas. Right-click on the drawing name to rename it as university database ERD. Visual paradigm shows a blank canvas with diagram and drawing icons in the toolbar on the left. Let's begin by opening visual paradigm with no active diagram. With this background, we are now ready to create an ERD using visual paradigm. In contrast, the course notation uses diagonal lines in the corners of rectangles to denote weak entity types. Visual paradigm uses the same notation for regular and weak entity types. For example, the Has relationship uses just a single perpendicular line showing a mandatory relationship, in contrast the course notation uses two perpendicular lines denoting one for the minimum and maximum cardinality. Visual paradigm provides an abbreviated notation for mandatory relationships with a minimum and maximum cardinality of one. For example the enrollment entity type contains foreign keys for student number and offer number, in addition to one-to-many relationships registers and grants. Visual paradigm shows foreign keys in contrast to the course notation that does not show foreign keys. Before demonstrating construction of the university database ERD, I will briefly depict differences in notation between visual paradigm in a course notes. In addition, I will demonstrate simple documentation features of visual paradigm. In the demonstration, I will create the course in offering, entity types, the Has relationship, the identification dependency, enrollment along with the grants and registers relationships, in the supervisor's self-referencing relationship. This demonstration uses the university database ERD, presented in module 6 and 7. For commercial usage visual paradigm provide subscription editions with many other features for other types of diagrams, software development, project management, business modeling, co-generation, and many more features. This demonstration uses the community edition visual paradigm, supporting diagrams for data modeling, software development in a unified modeling language. I encourage you to use visual paradigm for experience with a commercial grade tool for database development. Although the crow's foot notation supported by visual paradigm differ slightly from the notation used in the course, you can use visual paradigm for data modeling assignments. This demonstration depicts basic features of visual paradigm, a powerful tool for database in software development. 7/31/2023 0 Comments Utterly free bakeryI’m adding a retail section to the shop, with all sorts of hard to find keto items. Since other people are creating wonderful new keto products, I’m going to have many of them for sale also, such as Keto Ice Cream from Killer Creamery. I was also frustrated with how few keto products I could find to buy locally. I’m adding mail order so they can be happy with their keto lifestyle as well. In addition, many homes in the USA have no access to keto or gluten-free baked goods. I felt I needed to share my creations with all my neighbors. There was no dedicated keto/low carb bakery. I realized that there was something missing in my beloved city, Philadelphia. I heard a number of people say that they would love to try keto and gluten-free, but they weren’t willing to give up baked goods. If anyone could figure it out, I should have the background to do it!Īs my goodies got better and better, I started to realize that I had a much easier time of doing keto. I didn’t feel deprived. I have degrees in biology and chemistry, and I did my graduate work in biology. On top of that, I have worked in a number of bakeries and had my own business as a freelance pastry chef. It wasn’t too long a stretch, since my background is in science. At that point, I started doing research into the food science of keto. Most of my early attempts were spit-it-out bad. I wasn’t about to give up though, I knew it had to be possible. I decided to try keto and gluten-free baking. I’ve loved baking my whole life, and to not be able to eat or bake wonderful goodies seemed like torture. Having seen my uncle suffer horrible side effects from type II diabetes, I said “no way”! That’s where I found the keto diet, and realized it would help me. I was also very heartbroken. YIKES! It took me by surprise, as I was only 6 lbs over my healthy BMI at the time. Several years ago, I was utterly surprised at my yearly physical. I was diagnosed as being prediabetic. 7/31/2023 0 Comments Download video toolsChoose the “ Download” option from the menu that appears, and the video will start downloading on your device.

It stopped being tacky upon wiping off and drying after about 200 shirts and we used it as ordinary pallet tape after that. However it doesn’t last for long enough that it’s a major selling point. It does save some time in having pallet adhesive already on it. One benefit of the new material is that on first application of adhesive, traditional pallet tape tends to develop bubbles. We used water based pallet tack and the film received the adhesive no problem. It lasted about a week of use before the pallet required adhesive reapplication.

The sound of recordings made using the 810 are very clear and well balanced. It has Dolby B and C, dynamic bias - HX-Pro, MPX filter, and a return to the start of recording, search by pauses and timer. Like in the most of cassette decks from Denon, the 810 has an output level control, which regulates the level on a linear output and on headphones at the same time. The display looks great all elements of indication vary conveniently, colour palette is pleasing for the eye, the counter shows the real time and can indicate the rest up to the end of a cassette. For example, the magnetic-tape mechanism has a closed path and three heads. But when you look inside this unit and go more in depth you find out lots of significant differences and advantages over the DRS-640. The major difference is the bottom row of control elements are moved under a nice cover. Externally DRS-810 looks like DRS-640: all buttons, knobs and indications are of the same sizes, types and layout. Yes, there is the similarity, but the benefit of such an arm is undeniable in aligning the tape to the heads. When loading a tape in the tray it glides smoothly and is affixed rigidly and accurately on the basis of a pressure arm like that found in a CD drive.
