*end spoiler* Olizandri, the let’s player, was curious about the latter, and I checked it out myself. Shepherd just cured the genophage, *spoilers* at the expense of both Mordin and Eve. The Omega DLC was interesting, but it was a lot of combat, and I’m way more interested in the story aspect of the game. Original Platform(s): Xbox 360, Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3īack in the main story! I’m so happy. Some sites say “he ” some sites say “she.” They kind of do like your typical, pretty, bishie, anime guy. Are they male or female? The name is generally male, but the game seems to consider them a female? The intrepid crew found Noah praying in one of the caves, and Noah is, um, kind of beautiful. I have to remember what I watched on Twitch and what I watched on YouTube, since I’ve been lucky enough to catch the former. Other Platforms: Sega Genesis, Wii Virtual Console If you like puzzlers and mysteries with eerie music in the background, I highly recommend! ![]() I’m not sure what it is on iOS since I have no room (ha) left on my phone, but it’s more than likely the same. I’m enjoying greatly, and the graphics are pretty excellent. I’m currently on Chapter 2 (accidental rhyme) where I’ve cracked the safe, but the mystery and puzzle fun doesn’t end there. There’s a letter on top giving you your first clue and an eyepiece without a lens. You start out in a room (oooo) with a safe that you have to figure out how to open. The Room (which I keep wanting to just call “Room”) is a puzzle mystery game. You could argue and say that they’re two mobile games, but they take just as much time. It will probably be FFV since I keep lying about when I’m going to start that, though right now I’m at my preset limit of two games. I did receive finally set it up my PS3 last week, updated it, and now I just have to play something on it. Thanks to the writer of The Dragon’s Tea Party for their review of this! That post and the comment discussion that followed prompted me to download the game on my Kindle, so I am currently playing two games both on that magical device. I know there’s going to be some huge revelation soon. Story-wise, I’m currently in the mountains. Did she get some kind of contract with Squeenix? What is going on? I’m old and confused. Speaking of which, what the hell is with the Arianna Grande quest? Like they were playing her music and everything! I was so befuddled. you have to use Arianna, which is the one I saw. Sometimes I’ll switch out Cecil or Leah if there’s some character condition that needs to be met e.g. My line up has been Rain and Lasswell (two of the main characters) then Kuja, Cecil, and Leah (the White Mage). I should also get rid of the characters I don’t use anymore. ![]() Besides, I already have Sazh and Vanille, the latter which I need to start using. I’ve used her as a companion character, and she’d be a great addition to my crew. I’d love to pull the pink-haired warrior lady from FFXIII. I can’t prove it, but I wouldn’t be shocked if it were true. The current event has increased the drop for Lightning, but in conversations with the one and only LightningEllen (and going off what my extroverted friend has suggested), we’ve come to the conclusion that spending legitimate money on the game increases your chance of rare summons. I keep receiving items that has someone’s picture next to it with the term “trust bonus,” and even after looking it up, I’m not sure what it means. I’m still not entirely clear on this trust bonus thing to be honest it’s something I’ll have to research it. Since it’s ending either today or tomorrow, I don’t have a lot of hope, but if I don’t, I’ll have to sell her Trust Moogle since no one else can use it. I’m still hoping I somehow summon Fryevia, one of the 5 star plus summons for the Egg Hunters event. I have an account at Grouvee, which is a essentially Goodreads for gamers, so please feel free to friend me there! Original source of the banner art is located here. I have quite a backlog of games to either play or watch, and I’m hoping a weekly article will assist with my progress as my other accountable posts have done with reading and writing. ![]() A weekly post updated every Tuesday detailing my current gaming projects.

Then, this might sound obvious, but always make sure your bulletin board includes the presence of reading. Most printed pages are black and white, so let the other parts of the board contrast with this. For example, creating pages or books out of cardboard and adding them to the board.Ĭolor is definitely very important when it comes to creating a reading bulletin board. Most often, this is in the way the illustrations on the board are created. I have found that some of the best reading bulletin boards use some kind of 3D in their execution. For example, using a clever title for your bulletin board will show the students how a person can play around with the meaning of a word. You can either use words sparingly, or as a cloud of ideas on the board. Reading is about encountering and making sense of words. This can be an image, use of color, message or shapes.Īnother feature of a good reading bulletin board is the use of words.
Any employee who works around dangerous equipment needs to undergo some level of lockout/tagout training. Training isn’t just for workers who operate, service, or apply locks and tags to the machines. Inadequate employee training is another critical risk area. Some organizations neglect to document certain pieces of equipment other organizations lack written procedures entirely. Employers should have detailed, written procedures for every machine they have in use. Why Lockout/Tagout Violations HappenĪs with so many OSHA standards, lockout/tagout violations frequently come down to poor documentation. One of the main steps of lockout/tagout is literally locking the machine in the “off” position and adding a tag with the name of the person who carries the key to the lock. OSHA’s Control of Hazardous Energy standard, usually called the “ Lockout/Tagout” standard (or LOTO for short), outlines what workers should do to safely depower dangerous machines. A steam valve that hasn’t been bled out could scald someone.A hydraulic press that hasn’t been de-energized could crush someone.A capacitor that hasn’t been properly disconnected could electrocute someone trying to repair it. ![]() This is why it’s important for dangerous machines to be completely shut off before servicing and maintenance. Hazardous energy can be released whether the machine is being used or not. These machines are dangerous because they release hazardous energy-in the form of electricity, steam, chemicals, or another kind of power. Simple definition: Some machines can seriously injure or kill workers. The standard outlines measures for controlling hazardous energies-electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, thermal, and other energy sources.” ( Source ) ![]() OSHA definition: “The OSHA standard for The Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout), Title 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 1910.147, addresses the practices and procedures necessary to disable machinery or equipment, thereby preventing the release of hazardous energy while employees perform servicing and maintenance activities. ![]() And please follow our blogs for the latest and best Korean KPOP music, songs, pops and ballads.

"LoveGame" initially had been planned as the third single release in the UK, but when its lyrics and music video were deemed potentially controversial, it was decided that "Paparazzi" would be released instead. The single was released on July 6, 2009, in the United Kingdom and four days later in Australia. Musically, it is an uptempo techno-pop and dance-pop song whose lyrics describe a stalker following somebody to grab attention and fame. The song portrays Gaga's struggles in her quest for fame, as well as balancing success and love. Gaga wrote and produced the song with Rob Fusari.

Instead of touting how great your personal skill is, you’d be much better served by using your expertise and experience to suggest some simple training exercises for those intent on using this blade, or any lightweight machete style blade, for defense.įar from touting my skill (apologies for not being clearer), I thought of what I know, how I teach and still found the idea of quickly training someone up on that weapon daunting. After all, there’s always someone else who is unarmed who would be easier prey. No one is expecting Blade Master GVI levels of skill, and more often than not just the presence of a weapon is enough to deter would-be attackers. Villagers in third worlds, jungles, and on islands everywhere use machetes with no more training than “swing like this, not like that.” A large machete like blade is frankly stupid simple to learn to use safely and effectively. That doesn’t mean that with five minutes of basic instruction I can’t show someone how to properly, efficiently, and most importantly safely throw a punch or learn a basic defensive technique. I likely have your equivalent experience using my hands and feet that you do with a sword if your “coding” sarcasm above is to be believed. I’m a black belt in Tae Kwon Do and have been taking for the better part of two decades (EDITED for clarity - half my life). Perhaps this Kingfisher is meant more as a weapon than a tool - it looks something like a 16th-century German "Langes Messer." Like a sabre that you need a heck of a lot more nerve to use well.Ĭlick to expand.Don’t be THAT guy, GVI. They were only ever pressed into service as weapons of expedience. ![]() Unless there's some magic in that Kingfisher blade that I'm not seeing, it doesn't appear optimized for "work." As to "work," as we all know, the machete is meant for chopping vegetation and the dadao is meant for chopping heads. It's why they look like they do, broadening out toward the tip. To the point, they're both choppers and as choppers go, the better examples are balanced well forward. But in terms of general shape, length, handling, ugly cheapness (they were historically made out of scrap steel like leaf springs) and "Wow - you could really f-k someone up with this thing" appearance, it's functionally identical.Ī Facebook acquaintance said of its cheapness, "You know there’s some slave labor going on when a company can manufacture something cheaper outside of China." I told him if he could figure out how to safely manage slave labor at a sword factory, he's got hold of something governments across the world would happily kill for. Heck, the stamp at the base says it's made in South Africa. In terms of historical accuracy, it's nothing like a "proper" Chinese dadao. Recently I picked up a "Cold Steel Chinese War Sword Machete" which is in fact a cheap knock-off copy of the Chinese "dadao" which was itself an EXTREMELY cheap sword. I've had all kinds, from the cheap Guatemalan ones to my present Ontario Knife example.

The point of balance is just 3.5" in front of the American hickory handle, which features a full-length grip below the finger notch to accommodate small or large hands alike. The distal-tapered high carbon steel blade is rigid and unyielding to pressure, and is long enough to offer advantageous reach while remaining short enough to be manageable in cramped quarters.

Between 9PM and 6AM the following day your Sims can experience a bunch of paranormal happenings, but the cutest of all must be the haunting by Specters. Specters can appear on the current lot as long as the type has been set to a Haunted House Residential. The neighborhood is not haunted by Ghosts (well, maybe just a few…), but by Specters! Specters are little apparitions that can roam around the new Haunted House Residential lot type and will gladly interact with your Sims, in good and bad ways.

It is possible to communicate with them and offer them gifts in return for collectibles. The green type are mostly friendly, blue not-so-friendly, and red are downright mean. There are several types of Spectre that appear (mostly after 9pm) during a haunting. Spectres These are friendly Spectres, but Sims still get scared. These objects reduce the lot's Serenity value, and the lower that goes the more haunted the house becomes. Things like goo puddles, creepy hands, and evil dolls will appear inside the home and vines may grow outside. While playing in a Haunted House, objects may appear at night time.

Most first person shooters prior to Unreal were all about carnage and mayhem right from the start, but Epic’s game takes an approach not unlike Valve’s Half-Life released mere months later. After nearly a year of delay and hard work, Unreal finally became real on May 22nd 1998 (roughly one year later for MacOS). Some dropped stuff returned in an expansion pack released later. Lead designer Cliff Bleszinski said they could have made three different games with all the content created at that point, but they aimed at making one, perfect product. By this point lots of content was cut from Unreal, mostly due to time constraints and quality concerns. At first it worked, but eventually they have realized how hard it was to coordinate such a big project in this way, and every member of the team, sans musicians, soon travelled to Digital Extremes’ office in Waterloo, Ontario in Canada. Unlike other studios at the time, Epic and Digital Extremes members worked remotely from all over the world and people were recruited via internet, according to Elliot “Myscha” Cannon. According to Unreal Bible, Unreal was to be a shareware title just like any other game released by Epic up to this point, but the idea never came into fruition as retail distribution has become an industry standard in the following years.Īlong with the technology needed to run the game, the team worked on assets that would eventually become a fully-fledged product. Needless to say, all the assets seen there were scrapped as the engine was developed further. One of the first character models made for the game was a scantily clad woman (possibly a player character) and a dragon. All the maps were fantasy-themed, strongly reminiscent of Raven Software’s Heretic, as the game was initially to be set in such a world. Early tech demos provided a real-time demonstration of basic sound and rendering capabilities, lighting included, with scarce “gameplay” consisting only of the ability to shoot light sources within a level. Unreal had been in development as early as 1995, one year before the first Quake hit the shelves. While it made a huge impact at the time, the game itself was quickly overshadowed by newer releases and its own successor, despite being one of the milestones in PC gaming. Indeed, Unreal truly lived up to its name by kickstarting a revolutionary engine and putting Epic Games in position they are in nowadays. Epic Megagames, then known for being a shareware developer and publisher, were certainly not afraid of Quake, though many players believed Epic’s goal of making their own FPS game was out of this world. In 1997, iD raised the bar even higher with Quake II, but it wouldn’t be long until serious competition plunges into the fray. Their experience in this field and technology were unmatched, and while they had some stiff competition from a few studios like 3D Realms, many others developers’ attempts to best them were completely doomed. ![]() ID Software ruled the realm of PC first person shooters for most of the nineties. Also it should be noted that this “2nm” node is comparable to what Intel would call 6nm in their scale. The fact that IBM is presenting a “2nm” wafer first doesn’t mean that Intel, Samsung and TSMC haven’t already produced such wafers themselves internally through their own Research and Development process. IBM says it expects its 2nm nanosheet process to roll out of partner foundries in late 2024, but it didn't give any firm projections which foundries would lead the way with tech based on its research. We expect all these questions, and hopefully more, to be answered as we worm our way to the first products based on the tech. Simply put, the smallest transistors in the world are of no use if you can't wire them together, and that has been one of the most pressing constraints to shrinking to smaller nodes.Īdditionally, IBM hasn't shared details around SRAM, density metrics for the various cell libraries, or the materials it uses for the 2nm node. IBM has only shared the basic details of its 2nm nanosheet design, so there's still much to learn, such as how the company plans to tackle interconnect scaling, which has become a key hurdle in the path to smaller transistors. However, the partnership holds momentous importance for Intel as it looks to recover from years of stagnation with its process technologies, and IBM was quite clear in our briefing that its new 2nm tech will benefit all of its partners, which includes Intel. ![]() Intel's announcement that it will collaborate with IBM on future logic and packaging technologies came as an understated overly-broad statement in its IDM 2.0 announcement a little over a month ago. ![]() In fact, Samsung will produce IBM's own Power10 processors this year on a 7nm process developed in conjunction with IBM. Samsung has been the company's key partner, a relationship that will continue in the future with IBM's process technology. However, IBM has continued its own research and development and licensing of its core technologies through its $3 billion 'Seven Nanometers and Beyond' research program that the company began after it sold its fabrication facilities. IBM ran its own chip-producing facilities for roughly 25 years before selling that portion of its business to GlobalFoundries back in 2014. IBM also disclosed that it uses the Twinscan NXE:3400B EUV machine from ASML to produce its 2nm test wafers. This technique can create nanosheet widths from 15nm to 70nm, giving the fabs some flexibility with cell libraries and SRAMs based on various design targets. Surprisingly, IBM says that it uses single-exposure EUV in every critical layer of the chip, including FEOL, reducing complexity (fewer optical masks and steps) and improving yields compared to multi-patterning. In contrast, currently-shipping transistor technology uses EUV patterning in the middle-of-line (MOL) and back-end-of-line (BEOL) stages that comprise the interconnects and packaging portions of the chip, respectively. IBM's 2nm process is also the first to use EUV lithography on the front-end-of-line (FEOL) portion of the chip where the transistors and associated structures are created (nanosheets and gate). IBM isn't sharing further details on the materials it uses in the 2nm process, such as if it uses silicon-germanium, but the company says it will share more details in the future. IBM has made several other notable steps forward with the tech, including the industry-first Bottom Dielectric Isolation to eliminate leakage current from the first nanosheet in the stack, enabling the 12nm gate length. Each nanosheet measures 5nm x 40nm with a 12nm gate length, and the transistor has a 44nm pitch. Each transistor has three stacked nanosheet layers surrounded by gates, and the entire stack measures 75nm tall in aggregate. ![]() Here we can see IBM's slides on its 2nm nanosheet transistors and the various measurements. |
