Eurogamer’ s Edwin Evans-Thirwell summed up the whole ordeal thusly back in 2016: Odd” didn’t seem to encounter many issues in game even though this demo received backlash for too heavily relying on a random number generator for its crafting items, leading to some players’ frustration as they scavenged for vital quest materials that didn’t spawn. ![]() Sterling’s footage shows glitches in the game such as inability to initiate dialogue with an NPC, a glitch I had observed once or twice in YouTube user ChristopherOdd’s playthrough of the game’s first demo last year. If you can imagine a game bug, any game bug, We Happy Few probably has it.” His voice work has reportedly not been included in the final release, however he is still listed in the credits, a fact he considers “embarrassing.” His footage and commentary suggest the game is extremely buggy, stating in his caption, “Nothing short of a mega patch will fix everything truly messed up about this game. Sterling was once a supporter of Compulsion’s project (before it became associated with Gearbox Software,) even providing voice acting however he has also been one of the loudest critics since the first demo. Video game satirist Jim Sterling () released a video of his impressions of We Happy Few. I’m looking to see how widespread these issues are, though it so far seems to be the case of some-work-some-don’t, but the footage I’ve seen still shouldn’t be in a $60 game, not one that’s been in development for three years. Claims of the Gearbox Software-published official release of We Happy Few by Compulsion Games being glitchy and very broken are coming out.

10/6/2023 0 Comments Human muzzle for people![]() A common side effect of sizing up in most brands is that the muzzle also gets wider and longer, so it moves around a lot more on the dog’s head. As you see in the photo below, this is a little too long, but it is also taller in return. After discussing with them, we went with the slightly bigger one. With the DT Freedom Winter Muzzle, Mia was between two sizes. Instead, I send over the accurate closed month measurements and receive a muzzle based on the company’s sizing guide or what their customer support team recommends to show what fit you can expect based on their recommendations. When reviewing muzzles, I don’t want to “outsmart the system” and give modified measurements to companies. This resulted in a fair amount of backlash in the online communities.ĭean and Tyler openly speaks up against full-pant muzzles because their experience is that it compromises the safety of the muzzle, which is their primary responsibility, while upsizing is not necessarily more comfortable for the dogs either. ![]() The sizing of DT Freedom Winter Muzzleĭean and Tyler asks buyers to not measure the dog with a ball in their mouth for sizing the muzzle which is commonly used to estimate the full-pant measurement. The other tricky thing with sizing is that although there are great Facebook groups to help determine if the muzzle looks good on your dog, different photos could make the muzzle look much bigger or smaller. On the other hand, if you use muzzles for hikes or canicross, it’ better to have enough room for comfortable full-pant. For example, if you are looking for an agitation muzzle or the muzzle will only be used for short periods, you are okay with a muzzle that provides enough room for a half-pant. However, what pant room means can generate great arguments. The only thing that everyone agrees on is that the dog should be able to pant to cool down while wearing it. Even when discussing sizing, there are different opinions on how much room the dog should have in the muzzle. Something can be a pro for one dog and a con for the other one. Reviewing muzzles is hard because every dog and every situation requires a slightly different solution. How to find the right size muzzle for your dog?

While those involved in the game's production have expressed desire to develop a sequel, such prospects have yet to come to fruition due to the ensuing conflicts between Konami and Kojima Productions. The game also enjoyed positive sales, with the PS3 and Steam versions selling an estimated total of more than 1.2 million copies. Upon its worldwide release in February 2013, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance was well received by critics, being praised for its sophisticated cutting system, its use of Metal Gear elements to complement the story despite the game's focus on action, its soundtrack, and its boss fights some criticism was directed at its camera mechanics and the short length of the story mode. The game underwent significant changes in its play mechanics and storyline under PlatinumGames' involvement, although Kojima Productions retained responsibility for the game's overall plot and Raiden's design. The project resurfaced in late 2011 under its finalized title, with PlatinumGames as the new developer. However, the team met with difficulties in developing a game based on swordplay, so supervising director Hideo Kojima postponed its development until a solution could be found. The game was originally being developed internally by Kojima Productions, who announced the game in 2009 under the title of Metal Gear Solid: Rising. The series' usual stealth elements are also optional to reduce combat. ![]() Through the use of Blade Mode, Raiden can cut cyborgs in slow motion and steal parts stored in their bodies. The gameplay focuses on fighting enemies using a sword and other weapons to perform combos and counterattacks. In the game, the player controls returning Metal Gear character Raiden as he confronts a private military company that wants to destabilize peaceful nations for profit. It is a spin-off in the Metal Gear series, set four years after the events of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. It was released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in February 2013, Windows and OS X in January and September 2014, and Nvidia Shield TV in January 2016. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is a 2013 action-adventure game developed by PlatinumGames and published by Konami. 10/6/2023 0 Comments Radiohead spectre review![]() Not going to lie, a little bit surprised, but I haven’t listened to it personally because I did the Spectre theme song.” You can watch the victor gloat about his spoils below. I might even pretend Radiohead didn’t exist, convincing myself that the members of Radiohead were never even born while nervously humming the melody from “Latch” to myself.Īnd it seems that’s exactly what the mom-beloved divo opted to do! In newly shared footage from a Golden Globes press conference, Smith responds to a question about whether he was surprised Thom Yorke released his own Spectre theme on Christmas by asking, confusedly, “Thom Yorke?” After “Writing’s On The Wall” co-writer Jimmy Napes clarifies the matter, Smith replies, “Yeah, I was a little bit surprised. Amazing single, one of Radiohead’s most beautiful songs ever. The song got its first full-band runout at their North American tour opener in Chicago. I might just go on pretending that Radiohead’s song doesn’t exist. Watch Radiohead give rejected Bond theme Spectre its live debut. I might be afraid to listen to Radiohead’s song. ![]() The band have revealed they were asked to write a signature tune for the movie, but it 'didn. If I was Sam Smith, purveyor of a decent but unremarkable Bond theme, I might be a little bit threatened by such competition. Radiohead have released the song they recorded to be the theme for the latest James Bond movie Spectre. Why, just last week I was emoting all over my keyboard about it. Sam Smith’s Bond theme “ Writing’s On The Wall” won a Golden Globe on Sunday, but all the real heads know Radiohead’s rejected “Spectre” is the more masterful of the two tracks. ![]() Led by stroke man Don Arnold (considered the team’s seasoned veteran with just one year of rowing experience), and MacKinnon in the bow seat, the crew got stronger and stronger leading up to the 1956 Royal Canadian Henley Regatta. Though very different people, the four came together as a team and relied on their collective athleticism. In fact, of our fours crew, three of us were freshman who had never rowed before.”įrom left to right: Archie MacKinnon, Lorne Loomer, Walter D'Hondt, Donald Arnold ![]() But I started off modestly, meeting others who had never rowed before like myself. I was in good shape and keen to row and get on a good crew. “Frank Read was an outstanding coach, and very tough. But the fire had been lit, and MacKinnon had made up his mind - he would be going to UBC. This news came as quite the surprise to MacKinnon’s father, as his son had no previous rowing experience, aside from taking his mom for a spin in a rowboat around the lake. I read all about Frank Read and I wanted him to be my coach.” “UBC had been doing very well and every week I read about the team in The Province and The Vancouver Sun. I would take the courses and go into engineering, but I went there specifically to row,” says MacKinnon. “I told my Dad I wanted to go to UBC because they had a good rowing team. But MacKinnon was eager to prove himself in a new sport, on his own terms, and he had been inspired by reading the newspaper articles about UBC rowing and specifically the team’s coach, Frank Read. It had long been expected that he would follow in his father’s footsteps and head east to attend the University of Toronto. MacKinnon’s rowing history glows with inspirational stories of teamwork and victory, but the tale of how he got his start in the sport goes back to the kitchen table of his Cranbrook home and a pivotal discussion between father and son.īack in 1955 MacKinnon was a graduating high school student who had just been kicked off the basketball team for not being "fast or tough enough". A pillar in Canadian rowing, Archie MacKinnon is the last surviving member of the “Cinderella Four”, the UBC coxless fours team who took the rowing world by surprise when they stormed to a gold medal finish at the 1956 Olympics. At a reunion event to honour Thunderbird rowing legends and celebrate the 100-year anniversary of UBC’s rowing program, no introduction garnered more cheers than that of 85-year-old Archibald MacKinnon. 10/6/2023 0 Comments Star treek spore driveWhile we may not be able to go to black alert and use the spores to jump through the mycelial network, they could be the way to help Earth make it to 2244 in the first place. “Unless we put into action policies and technologies that can cause a course correction in the very near future, species diversity will continue to plummet, with humans not only being the primary cause, but one of the victims.” The fictional Stamets’ science in the world of “Star Trek: Discovery” is based purely on the spores’ connection in a vast network and the idea that “fungi, particularly mushrooms, offer some powerful, practical solutions, which can be put into practice now,” as the real Stamets says on his website Fungi Perfecti. But careful writing from both shows ensured that a potentially grievous continuity error was halted before it began. Sadly, the mycelial network in space is only a fictional construct. From a world-building perspective, the spore drive wasn’t available because no Star Trek writer had yet conceived of it: it didn’t exist before it was created for Discovery. And this is the paradigm that we see throughout the universe,” he said.Ĭan Mushrooms Be Used in Real Space Travel? I believe matter begets life life becomes single cells single cells become strings strings become chains chains network. “Going way out, dark matter conforms to the same mycelial archetype. In a 2008 TED Talk, Stamets posited “6 ways the mycelium fungus can help save the universe,” describing how mycelium can create natural pesticides, help clean polluted soil, prevent erosion, sequester carbon dioxide and more. A new epoch is emerging as we explore the Mycoverse.” In the past, according to a press release from Fungi Perfecti, “Captain Jean-Luc Picard’s name … was based on the Swiss physicist and explorer Auguste Piccard.”Ī post shared by Fungi Perfecti to Stamets, “Mycology is under-funded, under-utilized and has not been recognized by thought leaders for the critical roles fungal networks – mycelium – fulfill in helping habitats, protecting biodiversity and steering sustainability. ![]() It is not common that people get their full name and profession honored through a character in this way. In a 2017 interview with podcast host Joe Rogan, Stamets said the mycelium spore drive used the “internet of nature” by “tapping into the mycelial archetype.” The writers on Discovery were so grateful for Stamets’ help that they named the entire character after him. The writers on “Star Trek: Discovery” sought the real Paul Stamets’ scientific advice on how to use the spore drive in the show, based on his own research. A 2019 Forbes article describes Stamets as “a pioneer in the use of mushrooms in bioremediation, also known as ‘mycoremediation.’” Stamets offers presentations and seminars to help people understand “how mushrooms can help the health of people and planet,” according to his website Fungi Perfecti. It actually began in the 1970s, when the real-life scientist Paul Stamets began studying fungi under an electron microscope, according to BBC Earth. This idea for a spore network started way before the fictional 23rd century. Can’t I just draft my own agreement and save money?Ī.
