Broken age stick5/18/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() First is Vella, a girl living in a fantasy world. It’s also a bit different from both those categories: It’s Schafer reflecting on his own life and trying to impart something to his audience.īroken Age has you playing as two characters in very different settings. Broken Age is something from the aging father Tim Schafer, who wants to make whimsical little games alongside his black comedies. The bad business decisions hurt the company’s reputation with some, and the resulting game wasn’t the new classic people expected.īut that doesn’t mean Broken Age is bad, mind you. ![]() It did not help that the game was released in two halves, as Double Fine went over budget and instead used profits from selling the first “act” to fund the second (though they were kind enough to make the second act a free update for those who had the first upon its completion). However, because the campaign had no concrete information on what the game could end up being, people went wild with ideas and expectations for the title, so when it finally released in 2014, it was scorned by many. Broken Age was the end result, and this game ended up making crowdfunding a viable option for game developers, both indies and old vets trying to get back into the scene. Ironically, Schafer’s goal was to fund a game development documentary, with the production of a new game as a side part of that larger project. With his name on the likes of Grim Fandango and Day of the Tentacle, people went nuts over the thought of one of the greats returning to his genre of choice, and his $400,000 goal was broken apart by a $3.45 million finish. In February 2012, Tim Schafer launched a kickstarter campaign for a Double Fine adventure title, marking his return to the genre after fourteen years. ![]()

Hearts of iron iv germany5/18/2023 ![]() The Democratic path involves some sneaky diplomatic maneuvering, scaring the other nations in Europe into your sphere of influence by speaking up strongly against the Soviets and demonizing them. The branch also enables the recreation of the Central powers via stimulating imperial sentiment in the Austro-Hungarian successor states and the assassination of Mussolini in favor of King Victor Emmanuel III.Ĭan you taste that sweet Tsingtao beer? Ahhh, come to fatherland. To this end, a new very powerful late-game focus has been added that will flip a significant amount of the country’s military production to naval production, in case the Soviet Union has been defeated and the player wishes to focus on the West (also available to fascists, if the player owns the DLC). The former leads to Germany once again asserting its right of a ‘place in the sun’ (bullying China or Japan for the return of Tsingtao), focusing heavily on rebuilding its High Seas Fleet to challenge Britain (including some nice bonuses to battleship production and research), and then taking the fight to the British and French for their colonies. In the Imperial branch, the player now gets the choice of either avenging the Great War, or letting bygones be bygones and focusing on the Communist threat. Who wouldn’t want this guy leading their country? These changes do affect industrial balance somewhat, and we will go into how we handle that at the very end of the diary. As a bonus, the 5th research slot is now accessible somewhat earlier, and no longer requires Air Innovations II. ![]() Initially only being a quick path of 4 focuses, it has now been expanded into a full 16-focus monstrosity, with paths leading into more fortification focuses, more domestic industrial focuses, and more focuses dealing with the ‘economic vassalization’ of Hungary and Romania and other areas of Europe. For instance, we made some effort to flesh out the industrial part of the German tree. Furthermore, even players who do not buy the DLC will see some of these changes. In the next DLC, Germany will have its focus tree updated to bring it more in line with the new trees of minor nations, especially in terms of alternate history options. For now, though, we figured a good start would be the most popular nation in HOI4: Germany! If this proves popular we plan to keep doing this in future expansions and eventually have all the majors with more options. So, while we will naturally be adding some new focus trees, this time around we will also be revamping two major nations. ![]() Unfortunately, many of our focus trees for major powers are somewhat lacking in that regard, and it's something we want to change. Today I’ll be talking about some of the stuff we’ve been busy with since then.Įver since release it’s become clear that the fanbase's interest in alternate history is far greater than we anticipated. My name is Drikus and, after working briefly on DOD to help out the Content Designers on HOI4 back then, I re-joined the team in the summer to work on the next expansion, working with and on all that CD goodness. Hello everyone, and welcome to a new dev diary for the 1.5 “Cornflakes” update and the as-yet unannounced accompanying DLC.įor those of you who missed my introduction, I’ll briefly introduce myself. ![]() Gindows 95 maze screensaver5/18/2023 ![]() Users can also enable an overlaid map, which constantly displays the maze using simple vector graphics. If the maze is completed and reset while upside down, the next maze may be traversed as if it were upside down, hugging the left wall instead of the right. ![]() ![]() Upon reaching it, the maze will reset and another will be generated. The exit to the maze is a floating, translucent smiley face. When this happens, the "player" will traverse the maze following the left wall rather than the right until the exit is found or another gray rock is encountered, flipping the camera right-side up again. Additionally, the "player" will encounter rotating polyhedric gray rocks that, when touched, will flip the camera upside down and turn the floor into the ceiling. Users can customize these textures, swapping them out for animated psychedelic patterns in later versions, or may instead create their own custom textures.Īs the maze is traversed, several objects can be found inside it, including floating "OpenGL" logos, images of globes on the walls (which is seen on the cover of the OpenGL Programming Guide), and a 2D sprite image of a rat that is also moving through the maze. From there, the maze is automatically traversed using the right-hand rule, which will guarantee the maze will eventually be solved because all of the randomly-generated mazes are simply connected (there are no looping paths).īy default, the maze is textured with brick walls, a wooden floor, and an asbestos tile ceiling. The maze is randomly generated each time, with the "player" navigating through it in first-person, spawning in front of a floating start button.

Baby 4d ultrasound5/18/2023 ![]() The higher resolution is actually a result of the computer processing the signals at a higher rate and with more power, but, nothing extra is going into your body when compared to the 2D, 3D, or 4D modalities. The only potential risk is that they can be misleading. This means that you can get a more detailed image of your baby.ĥD ultrasounds are also non-invasive and don’t use any harmful radiation. They use the same kind of technology as 3D and 4D ultrasounds, only with a higher resolution. ![]() So, are they safe? The answer is yes, 5D ultrasounds are safe. The fourth dimension here is time, and we get a video as opposed to just a picture like in 3D imaging.Īs you can see, we have run out of dimensions! So 5D ultrasound is really just a name coined by the ultrasound machine manufacturers (rather their marketing teams) for a newer and better 4D imaging, which gives higher resolution and more detail of the baby.ģD and 4D ultrasounds have been around for a while, but 5D ultrasounds are relatively new. In this, the probe is more advanced and scans faster, and the ultrasound machine “glues” hundreds of 2D images into a 3D image, thereby giving a complete look at whatever we want to see in one still frame.ĤD ultrasound improves on that, by adding time into the equation and giving us a real-time moving 3D image. However, there is a serious disadvantage in imaging a 3D dimensional object (organs, babies, vessels, etc) in 2D – many things might be missed if not done properly.ģD ultrasounds solve this problem. Most medical ultrasounds are done in 2D because of its simplicity and wide availability, which also means that anyone with training can do and understand these. ![]() 2D is brilliant in that it is relatively simple to implement, the technology has been around for ages, and it is widely available and cheap. It is called “2D” because it does give us a two-dimensional image. This is the most common ultrasound you can get, the classic black and white picture that has been around for decades. ![]() To understand this, we need to learn more about the other “D’s” in the context of ultrasound. The name “5D” could be confusing, as you might think that there is a fifth dimension added somewhere. ![]() Letterbox signs5/18/2023 ![]()
Prg real estate management5/17/2023 ![]() ![]() Wright leased an apartment at Wellspring from 2003 until the subject incident occurred in 2008.Īn internal Wellspring employee manual stated, "We generally do not provide security for our residents and employees should never indicate that we do so." This information was not Wright testified this representation caused her to believe Wellspring would be a safe place in which to live. During oral argument at the court of appeals, Respondents conceded Wright "was told that there are security officers" and that when Wright moved into the complex, she had that expectation. She testified that at the time she signed her lease, a Wellspring manager told her there were security officers on duty. Wright testified security was an important factor in her decision-making process. Wright testified she initially became interested in Wellspring because of its proximity to her job and because of several recommendations from members of her church. Wellspring and other properties within the community are accessible via these public trails. Wellspring is part of a planned unit development known as the "Harbison Community Association," and several walking trails weave throughout the community. In 2003, Wright began her search for an apartment she could rent in the Columbia area. We reverse the court of appeals and remand the matter to the circuit court for trial. We granted Wright's petition for a writ of certiorari to review the following questions: (1) whether Respondents voluntarily undertook a duty to provide security services to residents, (2) if such a duty exits under the facts of this case, whether there is a genuine issue of material fact that Respondents breached the duty, and (3) whether there is a genuine issue of material fact that any such breach proximately caused Wright's damages. The circuit court granted summary judgment to Respondents on Wright's negligence claim. She also alleged Respondents were negligent in failing to properly maintain shrubbery and lighting on the premises. ![]() And breached this duty, thereby causing her damages. ![]() Morepurplemorebetter logsheet5/17/2023 ![]() Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.įor printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.įor PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. I will update these whenever the files move somewhere else. Note that these are pages that redirect to where you can download the PDFs. > Character sheets: > Spell sheets: <<<<< You can instead get the latest version, and any future updates, through the following websites: ![]() See more things to DMs Guild takes almost an hour because of the sheer amount of people that have to gain access to these files in their "My Library". However, I will no longer be uploading new versions to the DMs Guild website of those that have been taken down, as that is clearly not something that WotC will allow me to do. I have since released a new version of MPMB's Character Record Sheet and will continue developing it, the MPMB's Spell Sheets per Class, and MPMB's Adventure Logsheet. Until now, people who had previously bought any of my work on DMs Guild could still download it through the "My Library" page of their DMs Guild account. After several months of emailing them and the people of Wizards of the Coast, the only thing they could tell me was that my work was never allowed back on the DMs Guild website. ![]() On the 29th of September 2017, I got an email from the people of Dungeon Master's Guild informing me that my character and spell sheets had been taken offline by the request of Wizards of the Coast.

They teamed up for International Women’s Day. So how did Ariana Grande get involved in this concoction? She is officially the face of Starbuck’s “cloud macchiato”. Simply put, these two drinks have a foamy, fluffy, cloud-like milk and egg white foam that sits on top of espresso. The cloud macchiato is a reinvented spin of a Leche Merengada, which is a Spanish drink that means “meringue milk”. Please feel free to assemble the drink traditionally or the way I’ve done it! So I put the espresso in first then layered on the awesome cloud. But for this copycat version, I did not want to compromise the texture of this cloudy foam. Last are the espresso shots and then a drizzle of caramel. If you are allergic to eggs, or have any aversion to eggs, then this wouldn’t be the right drink for you.Īdditionally, a traditional macchiato has a specific technique. Both versions are also up on my YouTube Channel.Īdditionally, for a Starbucks Cloud Macchiato CUPCAKE, try tweaking my Tiramisu Cupcakes as directed in recipe notes and add a drizzle of caramel!īefore we begin, please be aware that the real Starbucks cloud macchiatos and this copycat Starbucks Cloud Macchiato use a form of egg whites. This version of the Cloud Macchiato is for an Iced Caramel Macchiato. But I live for this stuff!Īnd you all seem to love Food Trends as well! After so many requests, I added a Copycat Cinnamon Cloud Macchiato that also tells you how to make it egg free or completely vegan if desired. While I had the excited energy of a highly caffeinated workaholic, I still had WAY too much coffee today. Man, I love food trends! I literally shot out of bed this morning with Cloud Macchiato recipe development on my brain. THIS POST HAS BEEN UPDATED to make this a “creamier tasting” foam. And hey, it’s just so much fun to try new ingredients and techniques. So Starbucks addicts rejoice, because today I created a Copycat Starbucks Cloud Macchiato! I am going to save you some money and save you the time of a Starbucks run. This latest drink was a collaboration between the coffee chain giant and the pop icon, Ariana Grande. This new drink is whipped, foamy, creamy, and so absolutely dreamy. Starbucks has created a new coffee trend that people are going mad for! Again! Their latest “Cloud Macchiato” aka “Ariana Grande’s Starbucks Drink” is an elevated and celebrity inspired take on their regular Macchiato. Thank you for supporting my blog!
