I should know better than to ask for any insight by now, but do you not read the text in this game? Do you just rely on sounds and animation cues? I mean, if this game contained all the diplomacy and cultural exploration and scientific discovery that are the hallmarks of good Star Trek as opposed to all the combat pew-pew-pew that both you and I notice is too prevalent here, they would be almost entirely text-based game mechanics. Your capacity to negatively contribute to a discussion is truly otherworldly. But again, some people will find it interesting or fun. ![]() Honestly i find text role playing the most stupid thing ive ever seen. Originally posted by n3mes1s:What has to do text role playing with actual mmo role playing? ROFL. Don't even think about doing anything over the public channels, which are cancerous per usual in MMOs. Bottom line: You'll have to track down a dedicated fleet to find anything worth RPing. ![]() There also is/was some casual walkup "tavern RP" going on, although with Quark's possibly being added to the general DS9 map instead of being a separate zone, the devs may have unintentionally killed that off and sent RP back to the specialty fleets and private channels forever. There are some guilds (called "fleets" here) that use STO as a platform to conduct dice rolling style RP, for example. Now as to roleplay, don't expect the general playerbase to spare a moment of thought for it, but you can find pockets of it. Just keep in mind while playing that it's imperfect and places a hugely disproportionate emphasis on combat and warfare as a matter of necessity to appeal to gamers. I personally had a pretty shallow understanding of Star Trek before I started playing the game, and it inspired me to spend the many, many hours catching up on most of the TV shows (still haven't watched Voyager or Discovery), so don't listen to these people who tell you it's a horrible thing you should never play. But if we're being honest, so are the TV shows and movies. If you're looking to learn about the Star Trek universe, just understand that Star Trek Online is a messy starting point. ![]() ![]() ![]() However, if your antivirus tool hasn’t removed the file from quarantine then it will likely remove the file when you start playing again and crash the game. Click “Verify integrity of game files…”.In Steam, open the Mini Motorways properties window (right click the game in your Steam library).The button can be found by following these steps: If a file has been deleted, you can get the file back with Steam’s “Verify integrity of game files…” button. If your game fails to launch because it cannot load a file, please check if the file has been quarantined by your antivirus program. It’s an evolution of what came before a neat idea wrapped in a puzzle structure that manages to be extremely easy to understand, and yet increasingly complex as your creations grow.Some antivirus software can be fairly aggressive when it decides what is and is not potentially a threat. With a selection of levels named after cities around the world, each with their own beautifully distinctive colour palette, Mini Motorways is a quietly addictive puzzle game that builds upon the foundations of its predecessor (literally, what with Mini Metro tasking you with mapping out an underground network of trains). ![]() Occasionally, bad luck can result in the upgrade you critically need not being available as an option waiting for a tunnel to breach through a mountain, for example. A bridge is especially useful when water is nearby, while a traffic light could remove a bottleneck of traffic. It’s a shame however that your progress for only one city location can be saved at a time, as this means you can’t dip in and out of different challenges your focus must remain on one map at a time.ĭecisions, decisions. There are Daily Challenges to tackle as well, which add design restrictions that challenge your problem-solving, and online leaderboards log your results. The target numbers aren’t too outrageous, meaning that most playthroughs will reap rewards. Succeed in funnelling a certain number of journeys from A to B, and further playable locations unlock. Thankfully there’s always the option of digging up and repurposing roads that have already been laid. Two motorways have been added here to alleviate the pressure on other roads. In a brilliant piece of game design, there’s an almost imperceptible gradual zoom-out as your map grows and your city becomes more complex in design, with another nice touch being the steady increase of frustrated car horns.īuildings come in many colours. Aesthetically, the motorways create quite an ugly change to your carefully mapped network, like spaghetti straddling your existing roads and buildings. The most drastic change to your landscape is the construction of a motorway, allowing you to quickly connect two distanced locations. Do you opt for a larger number of road segments, or half the amount and pursue the option of a roundabout or traffic lights? Or perhaps a bridge is needed critical when a river divides a house from the rest of civilisation. You have a finite amount of road sections that can be laid, and so considered planning is required. Night mode meanwhile darkens the palette, resulting in each car switching on its headlights.Ī clock indicates the passing of time - the speed of which can be adjusted if you need more time to think - and at the end of each week you’ll be given the opportunity to choose one of two potential upgrades for your road network. ![]() ![]() Have you ever seen city maps that look this gorgeous? The game includes various accessibility options, including a colour blind mode for players that have trouble differentiating colours. A steadily increasing number of pins on each destination indicate how many people need to reach it, and if supply can’t meet demand, it’s game over. The buildings come in a variety of colours and must be colour-matched to ensure that structures of the same colour are linked by road. Moments later, another house and destination will appear. Your first task is to lay down a road to link the house to the larger building, upon which, from your bird’s eye view, you’ll see a car head towards its destination. The former is represented by a two-tone rectangle - a clever way of denoting the pitch of a roof - and the latter a large square which could perhaps indicate a place of work or a shopping centre. Are you interested in designing a city without the burden of applying for planning permission? Mini Motorways is a resource management puzzler that begins with a solitary house and destination then becomes increasingly complex. ![]() ![]() ![]() With Gold, you can integrate with up to three services, such as Slack (Visit Site at Slack), GitHub, and Salesforce, as well as the storage services already mentioned. While you can upload as many attachments as you want, there's a maximum file size of 10MB.įree account holders can upgrade to Gold status for $5 per month or $45 per year. ![]() You get what Trello calls "basic integration" with Box, Google Drive, or Dropbox, but you can't integrate more than one service per board. You can add as many members to your boards as you like, too. The free Trello account gives you an unrestricted number of boards, lists (or columns), and cards. ![]() Trello offers a Gold premium paid account tier, as well as Business and Enterprise accounts. The Trello Android app is free to download, and you can create an account for free. Trello is eye-catching and fun, but it's not right for every team. It isn't true project management software, however, so it lacks things like Gantt charts, time-tracking components, and reporting tools. It offers drag-and-drop capabilities and an intuitive interface. Trello retains this simplicity, but it is extremely flexible. ![]() One of kanban's strengths in the workplace is in keeping people focused by not getting too much more complicated than the personal kanban I outlined above. A kanban system, like Trello, gives everyone visibility into the work process and the status of tasks. Cards can have text, pictures, due dates, attachments, and other details about the task or work. In Trello and other online kanban systems, multiple people can all use the same board to keep track of who is doing what and the status of the work. It's easy to imagine how a kanban board can be used to manage more complex work than simple personal tasks. For more on kanban basics, see my article on personal kanban. When the tasks are completed, move the cards into the Done column. When you're ready to start doing some tasks, you choose a few and move the corresponding cards into the Doing column. To begin, all the cards go into the To Do column. Let's say you have three columns labeled To Do, Doing, and Done. The simplest example of a kanban board is one for a to-do list. Kanban-style tools generally provide you with boards, on which you create columns (Trello calls them lists), in which you place cards that represent tasks. It uses a kanban-style work methodology, which is highly visual. Trello is an online tool for collaborating and managing work or ideas.

The jokes the characters had for each other was the selling point of the episode. I knew nothing special was going to happen but ti was very enjoyable. Now I actually enjoyed this episode a lot. The episode ends with Midoriya and All Might discussing Midoriya's plan for the Festival since he can't properly use One For All. This just goes to show that not everyone wants to be a hero just to be one, some people are thinking more logically. Everyone is focused on getting noticed by top heroes except for Uraraka who wants to be noticed so her family will get work at their construction company. I read the Boku no Hero manga and I always question, just how did Mineta get accepted, and also accepted into the top class? Everyone is fired up about the UA Sports Festival where everyone will get to showcase their Quirks to the world. Shiragaki really thought he could have pulled all of that off. ![]() Todoroki and Bakugo knew what they were doing and others like Seijiro and Yaoyarozu who got action in but still, they have never had any real combat encounters. 72 people got merked by a bunch of kids who knew barely anything of their Quirks and had no real battle experience. We find out there is was a whopping of 74 people who attacked UA. On top of that, if you have not seen the first season, why are you watching the second season first? Nothing new was added during All Might's speech. If you've already seen the first season we shouldn't be wasting time on things like this. After that All Might gives a lot explanation of who he is and what he's doing with Midoriya. Then we have a news update about the UA incident involving Shiragaki attacking the students and trying to kill All Might. after this we have the opening theme which I like a lot more compared to last season's theme. The first episode of the 2nd season of Boku no Hero Academia starts off with an intro/flashback of the previous season plus the explanation why people have powers. ![]() ![]() Silicon Valley dreams shattered by explosions of pain. If you see the world through such filters and limited expectations, then it’s pure dumb prejudicial thinking – in the venting digital avatar world is may be pure escapism for but it may lead others down a warped path of alienated raging desire. But what about the real world? What about learning from lived experience with real humans? Those who don’t comply with gender types on memes. Oh boy, it’s enough to make a young self-identified nerd’s Slayer hoodie perk up in delight. Sigmas are the new heroes of this tragic world, the ones who can have it all – sex, and money basically – without having to be a jock. That kind of self-defeating withering view is of course a self-fulfilling prophecy for these young guys but also a dangerous one – the hatred for the opposite sex shown in the ‘expertise’ out there is not simply the preserve of pick-up artists but waiting there on devices for any teenage boy worried he’ll never get a girlfriend. They only want the Alphas, everyone else is a let-down. Everything is reflected through this embittered lens of women being shallow, needy, and unfair in their selections. Misogyny is its particular ingredient, and is the cement with which the Sexual Hierarchy Pyramid is built. ![]() Disinformation is spread by the discontented, but it’s that hate which seems to be lapped up like intoxicating bile. But it’s the aggression behind these shared manosphere types that’s disturbing, the pseudoscience and the hate fuelling it. The wounded outsider getting shit done by not playing by the rules…we get the allure, it’s the kind of ideal which exists inside the mind of every adolescent boy, and by plenty of grown men too. At least there is some academic debate here though, whereas the Sigma male is straight bullshit. As scientists are now clear about, the idea of the Alpha male ruling wolfpacks and humanpacks is nonsense pop culture pap humans, like wolves or apes, are most successful when they collaborate, support, and share brutal rule is a route to exile. No, these don’t seem to be written by qualified experts. Omegas are correlated with violent outbursts like shooting sprees because of their total rejection by women.’ Often they can’t grasp RedPill concepts and check out of the mating game.’ Gamma – “Gammas are bitter or clueless about women. Women will tolerate them if they have ample resources, otherwise they are discarded.” ![]() The Sexual Hierarchy Pyramid – which looks and sounds like it was designed by someone who has never had it – is of course about who is the most successful with women and has the Alpha, all swagger and dominance, at the top, which, according to another chart, descends down through:īeta – ‘The worker bees of society. No, when they say Keanu, they mean John Wick, where being nice is way less important than a brooding outsider silence, one marked by power, vengeance and being highly desirable to women.īecause as with most obsessions in the manosphere – that shady wounded male spaces behind the bike sheds on forums and social media – sex is at its centre. Keanu Reeves is frequently used in the imagery here, showcased as the primary exponent of Sigma maleness, although the sensitivity the actor clearly possesses doesn’t quite fit with the concept of the Sigma male. What the fuck is going on with men /3x1ZI20HCF People who identify readily with superheroes, and now have the Sigma to look to, which is often billed tantalisingly as ‘the rarest male type’. The sigma male sits outside of the hierarchy by his own choice.’ Right, so this shadowy but powerful kind of male plays directly to the fantasies of young keyboard warriors who feel – in classic adolescent fashion – alienated and lost, yet also secretly powerful with rampant egomania. He is placed either just under the Alpha in the ‘Sexual Hierarchy Pyramid’ or on the same level, but unseen – as one meme put it, ‘The sigma and alpha are equal. Defined, as many things are now, on various memes, the Sigma Male is introverted, undemonstrative, but highly influential. The latest manosphere obsession is a good one: the Sigma Male. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I have included the scientific names of these plants as well as the common names (where there is one) to avoid confusion. It is much better to have all the plants you need when you set up your tank rather than trying to add them piecemeal later. You may be able to buy these right off the rack or out of the tanks at your pet store, but if not, ask them to order them for you. But that’s OK! As long as you choose wisely, these shade tolerant aquatic plants will also grow more slowly, meaning you won’t have to trim your tiny tank too often! I chose the following plants, all available from Florida Aquatic Nurseries. For this reason, it is important to choose plants that will grow in fairly dim light conditions. One problem with these little tanks is that the light included is not very bright. You should avoid “fish tank gravel”, because it not only contains no nutrition, but it is also hard for the plants to grab with their roots. You can use these, but you will need to feed your plants from the very beginning, while in a nutrient rich soil based substrate, the plants can find their own nourishment for quite a while. Be aware that there are a number of commercial “planted tank substrates” available that do not provide any nutrition for your plants. I have used Fluval Stratum in this tank, but there are other good options too. Plants need nutrition, just like your fish do, and the easiest way to provide this is with a commercial, soil based substrate. Last, you will need substrate for your tank. If not, there are lots of online sources of hardscape materials. Please patronize your good independent store if you have one. The big box stores may have some, or you may have to venture further afield. ![]() Most independent aquarium stores carry a good selection of hardscape materials these days. You will also need some “hardscape” materials (rocks and or wood) to decorate your tank. Set the temperature of your heater to between 75° and 80° F. If you choose a tank that doesn’t give you this option, you can also hide a submersible heater by placing it horizontally, across the back of the tank. There is room in the Fluval Spec to put a small, submersible, adjustable, thermostatically controlled heater in the space behind the dark panel. There is no unsightly equipment showing inside the tank.īettas are warm water fish, even by tropical fish standards, and really need a heater in their tank unless your home is uncommonly warm. I like this particular tank because all the equipment is hidden in the end panel. While you could get away with a slightly smaller tank, a 5 gallon tank is large enough to be pretty stable, and gives you some room for a pretty “aquascape” (the common term for a pretty garden style aquarium) The nice thing about these all-in-one tank systems is that you get the tank, light, and filtration system all combined. The easiest way to a healthy Betta home, is to start with an “all in one” aquarium. You can find everything you need at your pet store or on line. And it’s not even hard! First tip, however… Don’t buy your Betta yet! Get his new home all set up for him FIRST and give it some time to settle in before bringing your new pet home. You can create a beautiful, small garden-home for your Betta, and have, not only a gorgeous slice of nature to sit on your desk, but also a home for your Betta that will keep him health, happy, and displaying at his best for you. The wild ancestors of our domestic Bettas come from densely vegetated, quiet bodies of water. Bettas may survive just fine in those little cups at the pet store for a week or so, as they wait for you to bring them home, but they actually have all the same needs as any other fish for a long, healthy life. ![]() |
