2/28/2023 0 Comments Steam players plaaying ravenfieldI want to be caught up in the potential for the future. The real kicker here is that it's almost impossible not to do it. They touch our collective desire in such a perfect way from just the right angle, and we invest our desires into it. As I said, video games run on hope, and certain games cause that hope to pool together. It's the feeling that drives forum speculation about beloved franchises, and it's what makes us excited about a game when all we have is some piece of vague and gestural art. That's also the same feeling that has people screaming at the top of their lungs at video game press events. It feels like an open future where anything could happen has stumbled into our collective gaming laps. Ravenfield makes you feel like every statement you have ever uttered that started with "wouldn't it be great if in Battlefield you could…" will be fulfilled. It seems like it can be the supporting base for so many ideas that fans of first-person shooters have had over the years. Ravenfield has the feeling of those early days of Minecraft about it. We got a dragon, some vague plot, and animal husbandry. Or would it be mechanical: better farming, snow that actually reappeared, and more mechanical complexity for red stone that didn't require a degree in computer engineering? While some of those things appeared, and others were created by mods, the actual future of Minecraft that actualized was so much more dull than even the most idle conversation I had had about the game. Would we get new kinds of world generation with deep dungeons and giant Moria-style caverns? It was selling tons of copies, new game-changing mods were being released every day, and every conversation about the game was about what it was going to be when it was finally finished. I can remember the very early days of Minecraft. Whether it is the promise of the holodeck in the still-unproven and bleak-looking VR market or the full, immersive, "the game changes with every decision you make" notion of complete player agency, video games are always gesturing at some kind of experience that just happens to be right over the horizon. The idea that one day the games we have will become the games we want is what drives the entire industry. A short piece about the game in PC Gamer from last summer was able to summon up that it's " a complete hoot" as an evaluation. There's honestly not much there, and that's incredibly apparent in the discourse around the game. Blue team and red team fight it out for map locations, each with fairly robust AI that shoot waves of appropriately colored blood out of their opponents, and you just try to help out whichever team you've allied yourself with. This is a Battlefield experience for you, alone, to play. Crucially, Ravenfield is not a multiplayer game (or at least it isn't out of the box). Those levels have tanks, helicopters, planes and a variety of other vehicles that spawn for your play experience. It has large, sweeping levels populated by as many AI companions and enemies that your computer can handle. On face, Ravenfield is an independently created Battlefield game. It is a game, and it is a wish for a future game. Its success, and the excitement around it, relies completely around its players wanting it to be more than it is. Ravenfield, a game that has recently rocketed up the Steam charts (following about a year of development on itch.io), is fundamentally a distillation of all the different forms of hope that appear around games, and because of that it might be the most video game of video games.

2/28/2023 0 Comments Outlook reminder unreplied emailThough this post may seem targeted at business development and sales professionals, following up effectively is something that can dramatically improve anyone’s lives. However, if I’m a bit deeper in the deal funnel, I’ll likely space out follow up emails so I don’t seem too pushy (I often have a soft sale). I don’t like to wait any longer than a week. For an initial cold email, following up within 4-7 days is ideal. The time interval between the initial email and the follow up really depends upon where you are in the lifecycle of a relationship or deal. Boomerang has similar capabilities within the gmail web client. If I entered, I’d receive a reminder a week later to follow up on that email. allows you to create reminders by specifying the time interval you’d like to be reminded to follow up within the BCC field. There’s a few tools that you can use to do this that are far superior than your calendar.į and Boomerang are my favorite. The best way to make sure you follow up, is to schedule it during or immediately after you send an email. In this case, I might craft a second sentence like:Īcross similar size partners, we’re seeing an average increase of 1 minute on site with the addition of our widget. Note* sometimes it can be effective to sprinkle in some additional bait within the follow up. The follow up email is mainly about giving him a gentle nudge to encourage a response. My initial email should provide Nucky all the bait he needs to get back to me. Are you free for a quick call on Monday or Tuesday? I just wanted to circle back on my email below re: getting you a comments widget for your site. Here is an example script I use all the time: Again, this keeps it short and reminds the reader that I have not heard from them. My follow up email primarily serves to reference the original. Again, the easier you make things, the more likely you’ll achieve an optimal outcome. As a result, when they receive your follow-up, they have to dig through their inbox to find the original for context. Often they didn’t read or forgot the initial email. Emphasize that they have not responded to youīy initially following up on a separate thread, you’re putting an onus on the reader. Make the initial context easy for the reader to find.The optimal way to follow up to an unanswered email is by replying to the first one you sent. Knowing how to write an effective follow up email effectively is probably the easiest way to increase your response rate if you aren’t already doing it. One of the biggest fallacies I see amongst professionals who write cold emails is their failure to follow up. 2/28/2023 0 Comments Sunrider academy faqStudy hard, bring glory to Sunrider Academy, and get a girlfriend!

As of my review, there were no comments about the Lite app on the iOS app store. Essentially, all it says that we have to do is to drag a batch of images from one window to another and hit the start button to save the watermark to all of them. The description on the Lite App page promised that this app would be incredibly easy to understand and utilize. Instead of editing each picture individually, the application allows you to choose the font, the style, the opacity, the color, and the location of your image. The iOS PhotoBulk App, available in paid ($9.99) and lite (free) versions, is an application that was designed to add watermarks to numerous pictures at once. The newly updated PhotoBulk App may be just the ticket. However, what if you take dozens, hundreds or perhaps even more? What if you want to add the same logo to every one of the images? What if you want to put up pictures on Facebook, what if you are a seller and want others to stop using your hard-effort created display masterpieces? If it is watermarked, it could lead back to your site, and someone may notice that it was your picture. If you only take a few pictures, it is rather easy to use any number of photo editing software tools to modify the image. Watermarking is an option that allows us to protect our work. We do not want to put in a bunch of effort taking pictures and then lose the rights to them, as someone uses them without our permission. Some of the issues that novice and professional photographers must overcome include protecting your intellectual properties and data rights, data storage and image editing. Free Watermark App may be one of the easiest to use Apps on the App Store. 2/27/2023 0 Comments Countdown to extinctionThe western location will mostly be attacked by the Sea Witch herself, usually accompanied by three or four murlocs which often are healers.It is possible to arrange and "focus" your units on these locations, as they will be attacked by different enemy forces.

Its major sensitivity is reached above the TeV scale, where the extraterrestrial flux is expected to become increasingly more dominant. IceCube can measure neutrinos with energies above a few dozen GeV, which allows for measuring both the atmospheric and the extraterrestrial fluxes of neutrinos. The highest energies are only accessible with detectors one to three orders of magnitude larger than IceCube. The energy range from keV to several GeV is the domain of underground detectors.The region from tens of GeV to about 100 PeV, with its much smaller fluxes, is addressed by Cherenkov light detectors underwater and in ice. Measured and expected fluxes of natural and reactor neutrinos (details can be found here). Neutrinos with energies around one PeV are predicted to interact while crossing the Earth at a rate of about one event per year per km 2, while those with energies around 100,000 PeV, or 10 20eV, would only interact at a rate of one event per century per km 2. They are produced by the interaction of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECR) with the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB). When neutrinos are accelerated to energies above 10 16 electronvolts, or 10 PeV, we cross another energy threshold, into the range of so-called ultra-high-energy (UHE) neutrinos or cosmogenic neutrinos. More extreme energies, in the very high energy range from a few TeVs to up to 10 PeVs, are reached by neutrinos that were created in or near the most extreme objects in our Universe, those powered by black holes and neutron stars. Their energy range expands from a few MeVs (megaelectronvolts = 10 6electronvolts) up to tenths of a PeV. High-energy neutrinos are produced in high-energy particle collisions, such as the ones taking place in the collisions of cosmic rays with the Earth’s atmosphere. None of these low-energy neutrino fluxes can be detected by IceCube. They are similar to the cosmic microwave background (CMB), but bring us information about an even older Universe, just two seconds after the Big Bang. The lowest energy neutrinos, however, are the so-called relic neutrinos or cosmic neutrino background (CNB). Low-energy neutrinos are mainly produced in nuclear processes, such as the ones in the Sun or in the center of an exploding supernova. The energy of a given neutrino, whether it is low or extremely high, tells us about how and where it was produced. Where do the neutrinos observed in IceCube come from? However, thanks to the DeepCore subdetector, which has additional light sensors in the deep, central part of the detector, IceCube can also detect neutrinos with energies as low as 50 GeV. At energies of a few PeVs, or petaelectronvolts, which are a thousand TeVs, (PeV = 10 15electronvolts), cosmic objects beyond our solar system are expected to be the main sources of neutrinos. The IceCube telescope was designed to observe neutrinos with energies around a few tenths of a TeV (teraelectronvolt = 10 12 electronvolts). »»» shows where students could discuss/think about a topic/concept.

Then she proceeded to say that they need the ID of the representative that set it up as well as a bank statement or utility bill with my name and address. Went in to get new service for my new business. Now I sent in my EIN tax form, my state certified formation LLC letter as well as my driver's license.

Select a One Time Passcode delivery method then enter the One Time Passcode you receive into the field below. I asked her has she ever heard of them because there's no way to get an ID from the company. I told her that I paid Legal Zoom to do everything for me. She comes back on the line to tell me that she needs ID from the representative that's on my documents. Once the rep came on the line she had me on hold again while she verified my credentials. Called back after doing so and was was transferred 4 different times with 30 min waits in between. I was told to email my ID, company formation and EIN in to them.

The game features a central lobby where players could take missions, interact with other players from the central deck of the ARK camps and shop for items. You may also change your class and earn experience to level up each one separately. Each class has three weapon slots where you are free to switch between them freely. You'll play as a part of the spacefaring organization ARKS where you're assigned to defeat the enemies known as Darkers.Įngage in fast-paced combat where you can control and execute awesome combinations by timing your abilities. Players may start by choosing their character among the four races and five classes available in the game. This game is an installment of the Phantasy Star series franchise. But if you’re a fan of action-packed, monster-hunting sci-fi gameplay, then you might want to give PSO2 a shot.Get your weapons ready and defeat the enemies known as Darkers in Phantasy Online 2, a free-to-play, action-oriented MMORPG from Sega, released in 2012. However, the massive hard drive requirement, its massive bloatware, and paywall hindrances may be a turn-off. Its graphical demands aren’t that high because it was a game that was released nine years ago. Overall, Phantasy Star Online 2 is a good free-to-play MMORPG you can get your hands on in 2021. Nevertheless, you get access to the game’s main story and core gameplay for free. But for some reason, it’s locked behind a paywall. It is something that should be accessible in order for players outright. In Phantasy Star Online 2, the features locked behind subscriptions are player shops, personal and guild storages, and more. Most free-to-play games often offer subscriptions for premium access like increased EXP gains, more cosmetic items, and additional quality-of-life features. That means it has a lot of unnecessary files that take up memory space.Īnother issue with PSO2 is the features locked behind the paywall. On top of that, the game contained massive amounts of bloatware in its Day 1 release. It contains a massive 70+ gigabytes of game files and can be daunting to a PC gaming rig with low hard drive capacity. But one of its glaring issues is its installment. Its superb 3D graphics and fast-paced gameplay can attract the attention of pretty much every gamer. Phantasy Star Online 2 looks amazing despite being released in 2012. Potentials Locked Behind Paywalls & Tech Issues But this game isn’t without its shortcomings. Ultimately, it’s fun to run a dungeon in PSO2. Attacking them recklessly may often lead to an untimely end. You often have to figure out its movements to dodge, and hit their weak spots. You can either take your online friends or iconic NPCs.įighting bosses in dungeons are challenging. Each dungeon can accommodate a maximum of four players. If you manage to defeat them, you get resources and equipment. Inside, you’ll come across droves and hordes of alien monsters. The dungeon-crawling aspect of PSO2 is also something to look forward to. You can choose from multiple races, and different job classes– each with its unique looks and passive bonuses. You can also fully customize your character. The graphics are beautifully crafted in 3D– making it a feast for the eyes. You move and dodge in real-time unlike the classic point-and-click style of old-school MMORPGs. Skills and abilities can also be hotkeys into your keyboard. Your combat actions will activate with a flick of a mouse or controller button. Despite being a free-to-play MMORPG as well, it incorporated elements from action RPGs like real-time combat. PSO2 belongs to the action-RPG science-fiction genre. But ultimately, we’ll let you decide for yourself if this is truly a game worth playing in the year 2021. We’ll list down what makes it great, and its shortcomings as a free-to-play role-playing game. In this article, we’ll tackle how great of a game Phantasy Star Online 2 is in 2021. But its 3D graphics and fast-paced gameplay left players wanting. But needless to say, it had its set of issues when it comes to installing and playing it. It came as a surprise for many MMORPG fans as people scrambled to download it on Day 1. Then in an unprecedented turn of events, the game was suddenly released to the whole world in May 2020. Its exclusive nature hyped up potential players all over the world who caught the news.
