That’s a pass from us, mon frère: Natasha L points out that Meta’s Threads app is a privacy nightmare and that it won’t launch in the EU yet. My first impression? The app isn’t great, but Instagram’s network effect is formidable, and Twitter has been screwing up so monumentally since Musk’s acquisition that it may just be all it takes to put the bird app in its grave. I know, I didn’t really see it coming either, but TechCrunch compiled an all-your-questions-answered article about Threads. Twitter competitors soar after Musk makes another boneheaded move, and Paul argues that its competitors need to get their act together in order to become a true competitor.Īpropos competitors, Meta’s Twitter competitor Threads went live and quickly passed 2 million downloads in just two hours, and more than 30 million in a day. If you look beyond the Reddit dumpster fire for a fraction of a second, the rest of social media is aflame as well. Investment giant Fidelity already adjusted down its Reddit valuation a month ago, but Manish reports that it further deepened its valuation cuts for Reddit this week, after the Reddit protest plunges user engagement. ![]() If you’ve stumbled across the TechCrunch homepage in the past week, then you’ve seen our wall of coverage on the utter drama-fest that is the social media landscape at the moment. : I wrote about how sex toy company Lovense is leaning into the AI craze, using ChatGPT to whisper sweet, customizable fantasies into your ear holes.Ī run for your money: Ingrid wrote about Munich-based EGYM, which raised $225 million from Jared Kushner’s Affinity Partners to make the gym smarter and less sucky.

Note that there are also complementary personalities ( documented on the wiki) which make relationships grow faster, but I personally find a 100+ Charisma character a more reliable way to build relationships with any hero very fast. Then just play these heroes together a ton, force them to go on tons of missions together, choose event outcomes that improve their relationships when offered, ensure they won't retire, and you should get it in chapter 5. This person builds relationships very fast, and can be used as a linchpin to triggering these quests with other heroes. The best way to consistently get a third-tier hook quest to proc is to reroll a character on your roster with the +80 Charisma start. This is made more difficult if the heroes have low retirement ages (since they retire before they can build the relationship). 5-star relationships require a lot of time with the characters, typically demanding a 5 chapter campaign. The first hook quest is when two heroes have a 3-star relationship with one another, the second when they have a 4-star relationship, and the third with a 5-star relationship. Hook quests require increasingly high mutual relationships between heroes to trigger. U/RisingDusk explained that one in a way that made a ton of sense to me a few months ago: Though all of it, I've mostly stuck to enjoying/rolling with the randomness and story-choice fun tho with very little min-maxing and deliberate-leveling-my Mythwalkers are mainly just the characters I've enjoyed playing most and am most attached to. Digging in to playing/building warriors well has also been cool (they were the least interesting to me at the start). Finishing a no-legacy WL/COS 3-chapter was fun, for instance. To further address the original question (I'm well over 200 hours now), I've been very haphazard with playing around with random fluctuations in difficulty setting and arbitrary restraints. ![]() I got like 95% of the achievements organically but did eventually have fun chasing a couple (was a blast to dial back to storyteller and crank the starting calamities, for instance, to get just go OP-carnage mode on rediculous hoards). Unsure how much I should focus on just stalling chapter ends until a second opportunity pops up or what. Had one run where I wrapped up 2 hooks, but am on my second try now. ![]() ![]() Currently I'm just double-checking for compatibility and decent retirement ages and keeping the party to 3 heros for a 5-chapter campaign. Got any tips for "Storied Past"? It's my last outstanding achievement. Once I finish Tragic Hero, I'll probably start a new "player" on Walking Lunch from scratch. I also don't like tinkering with my character's stats or hooks, since I like the variety. I pick one really tough mythwalker that I'm trying to get a drop/skin or two on, and pair them with some lower-level legacy characters that I'm levelling up. Everything is on Tragic Hero and Set in Stone, including the 3-chapter legacy stories, and I always use recommended calamities. I've been playing the game a lot now, and I'm curious to see how other people play the game once they've hit 100 hours or so.įor instance, do you spend time making more mythwalkers or deepening your bench? Trying to get obscure drops like ducks or Swan Scepters? How do you do it? Do you spend your time running 3-chapter legacy stories? 5-chapter? Do you keep the same difficulty settings or make them easier? Are you working toward certain goals? Which ones?įor me, I'm trying to finish the five main stories on Tragic Hero, so I'm running 3-chapter legacy stories to improve the characters available on my bench. ![]() ![]() ![]() Trimeresurus purpureomaculatus at the Reptile Database.Birth Record of the Andaman Pit Viper ( Trimeresurus purpureomaculatus) J.

The doughnut was added for the wearers comfort. The British did have an upgrade that was never adopted by the Americans. There are some small differences though, one being British chinstrap have stamped steel or brass slide buckles while the Americans favored cast steel slide buckles. The Both the liners and the chinstrap on the British and it’s American cousin are almost identical. Most American helmet do have heating lot numbers. The code usually starts with a Z and is followed by a series of numbers. It is unknown what is any maker marks these companies used. McCord Radiator, Ford Motor Company were both known to have made P17s, but there were undoubtedly more. A few have turned up with manufacture marks similar to those found on British shells A number of firms made P17s for the U.S. Most American helmets lack manufacture marks. While the steel was rolled by Thomas Firth and Sons This Mark I is stamped D/F indicating the helmet was made by James Dixon & Sons The series of number which follow the manufacture mark is a heating lot number used by the factory in the manufacturing process. There were at least six British helmet manufactures and nine steel suppliers. The first letters represent the company who pressed the helmet. The letter which follows the slash represents the company who rolled the steel provide for the helmet. Next to this code there are a series of numbers. In the case of the British Mark I there is typically a letter followed by a slash followed by another letter. Both the British and American helmet’s have marking stamped into the steel on the underside of the helmet’s skirt. ![]() This difference along is enough identify the origin of the helmet. The use of a thicker bail and steel rivet to secure the holder would have minimized the chance of the bail coming lose during combat. The bail holder is secured to the helmet’s skirt with a steel harness rivet. It is a much heavier and more robust design. ![]() The American bail is made from 12 gauge iron wire. The American P17 chinstrap bail negated the flaws of the British design. This is due to the split rivet shearing away from strain and the near constant moister of the Western Front. Many originals show evidence of the bails being replaced. The British bail design proved to be too weak for the rigors of the trenches. The bail holder is secured to the helmet’s skirt by way of a steel split rivet. The British Mark I chinstrap bails are made from 16 gauge brass or in some cases steel wire. P17 are of a completely different design. The chinstrap bails on a British Mark I and a U.S. The most obvious difference may be observed by turning the helmet over. So is there actually a difference? Although to the untrained eye the helmets may look the same, it in the small details where the differences may be observed. They also have a similar liner and chinstrap. Both were manufactured using a similar process. Both helmets are made from hardened manganese steel. Both helmet have a similar dome and similar skirt. ![]() When the helmets are viewed side by side it is easy to see why so many people confuse one for the other. By knowing about a few small details the buyer will never make the mistake of purchase the wrong helmet. The truth of the matter is the helmets are different. It may be tempting for some to say because the two types of helmets look so similar they are the same. This dilemma seems to become particularly problematic for the British reenactors who after spending hundred of dollars on their kit accidentally purchase an American helmet because they don’t know the difference, or for collectors who want one or the other represented in their collection. Yet more often than not the seller has no idea if the helmet is actually of British or American manufacture, and the buyer has no idea either. ![]() The seller’s description may read, “American WWI helmet” or “British WWI helmet”.

Whenever you accept these issues and you decide to work on them, the stone is the one that will drive you to apply the changes you want to achieve. It can form along the edges of a lava flow, along the edges of a volcanic dome, around the edges of a sill or a dike, where lava contacts water, and where lava cools while airborne.Įach volcano, and in some cases each volcanic eruption, produces a distinguishable type of obsidian. Its hardness is slightly harder than window glass. Obsidian is rich in silica and low in the water. It can form along the edges of a lava flow, along the edges of a volcanic dome, around the edges of a sill or a dike, where lava contacts water, and where lava cools while airborne.įinding Obsidian is usually confined to recent volcanic activity and finding Obsidian that is older than a few million years old is rare since the glassy rock is rapidly destroyed or altered by weathering, heat, or other geological processes. Jo Ann - May 12, 2Welcome to the ultimate guide to Black Obsidian, where we’ll dive into the fascinating world of this ancient stone and explore its rich history, meaning, and incredible benefits. ![]() This polymorph is formed at extremely high temperatures. It has the same chemical properties as quartz, but a different crystalline structure. This mean that there is no time for crystals to grow.Ĭristolabite is the mineral that is making up the snowflake forms you see which are called spherulites. Which is why it has such an even glassy texture. When the magma, now lava reaches the surface, it is pretty much instantly cooled by the atmospheric temperatures. These are the types of rocks that form from volcanic eruptions or oozing fissures (an elongated crack or fracture at the surface where lava oozes out of). An igenous/extrusive rock is produced when magma exits and cools at or above near the earth’s surface. It is a volcanic glass that formed as an igneous rock. In fact it is only slightly stronger than window glass. Along with the silica-rich felsic lava flows, this rapid cooling results in very minimal crystal growth, which is why obsidian is more of a glass type material. Snowflake Obsidian is a natural volcanic glass containing the mineral Cristobalite in the form of white 'snowflake' crystal patterns. ![]() Obsidian is a type of black volcanic glass that forms from felsic lava flows extruding from a volcano and rapidly cooling. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Possible duty locations could include bases in Korea, Germany, Italy, Alaska, Hawaii, Washington State, Texas, North Carolina, Kansas, Georgia, Colorado, New York, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Kentucky or South Carolina.

![]() ![]() ![]() “Looking back, we should have built more robust design tools, which would have spared us a lot of headaches and time.” “As Switch was already our main platform as we were developing it, the specs for the game was already quite low, so it was quite pleasant to bring it to mobile and keep the game running in native resolution and 60 frames per second.” The biggest challenge the developer faced was keeping it input-agnostic so that players could play it with any input devices. “We were simply asked if we wanted to be a part of the service’s launch,” Flesser continues. “Some weeks passed and suddenly Annapurna sent me a message saying that Queen Latifah would be able to record the next day.”Ī week before its launch, it was announced that Sayonara Wild Hearts would make not only race its way to the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4, but also on Apple Arcade, Apple’s game subscription platform. “I had been out for a beer or two, and was feeling somewhat jestful, and when Nathan asked me who I had in mind, I said ‘Queen Latifah!’ not being super serious, as I thought it’d be so far out of reach,” says Flesser. They said it would’ve been fun to have someone unexpected narrating the story bits. “You’d race into a castle and learn the ability to clone yourself so you’d control two versions of The Fool, while chasing The Lovers down castle hallways and up spiral stairs.” “Parallel Universes,” which was the last level they designed, only took a few days to make because they wanted to add one more level in before testing began.ĭuring the testing phase of development, Flesser wished the game would have spoken narration in it. “You can sort of see that we use hard cuts in that level but in no later levels, as thinking about levels in several cuts proved to take a lot of time and planning.” Following “Begin Again,” they made “Mine,” but they scrapped the original version of the level they made. “‘Begin Again’ was the first stage we made, so it took a really long time,” says Flesser. Like any game in development, there were specific levels that were memorable or difficult to develop. That being said, Annapurna Interactive will release “Faded Memories,” a cassette tape which features songs cut from the game. As the game’s development went on, several song sketches and ideas fell through and didn’t make it into the final game. “Tarot cards have always been around me, since I was a child, so I’ve always wanted to include them in a project somehow.”ĭuring the early stages of development where the game had a darker vibe, Simogo experimented with the music by including Ethipoian influences, surf rock, and taiko drums. “I wanted the game to be about fate and future,” continues Flesser. “We wanted to make the controls contextual and provide a minimum amount of inputs, while still providing something that felt as spectacular as a grand 3D game.” Another aspect of Sayonara Wild Hearts that interested me is the inclusion of tarot cards, and Flesser explained why they were included. With Sayonara Wild Hearts being a fast game, the developers wanted anyone to be able to play it, even if someone had never played a video game before. ![]() “As the idea about basing the game more around the music came, we realized we actually wanted to make an arcade-style game, so we ditched all of the bits that felt like it slowed the game down.” “Originally, I had envisioned something darker and more mysterious, and we even had little story bits in which you could control The Fool freely on-foot,” says Flesser. Additionally, they knew they wanted the game to be constantly moving forward and on-rails. the Evil Legion of Dr."Originally, I had envisioned something darker and more mysterious."Įarly on, Simogo had ideas for the characters, their style, the inclusion of tarot cards, and motorcycles.
