![]() ![]() By making steam launch the script extend. Included default preset is not configured, download customized from other sites like Nexus or from the forum. This is a video tutorial on how to launch any script extender through steam, in place of launching the default game. Some versions are just patches without any changes to graphics, but in config files you may toggle patches too. This includes Steam overlay, EVGA, Afterburner, Avast antivirus, EMET, D3D Overrider, Razer and Logitek utils. Many software types have compatibility issues with the mod because they hook in to game process or graphics, so make sure you do not run anything like that. And where they are now? Almost all screenshots and videos are made with ENBSeries. Skyrim players right after game release also agressively reacted regarding ENBSeries and believed in artistic atmosphere of vanilla game as the only one good. But still require lot of work for polishing various aspects, as some of you know i ignored GTA 5 modding, because users where satisfied with visuals, but they are unable to make photorealistic look by using only modding tools and tweaking weather properties. Most lights do not cast shadows and placed improperly just to lit scene, so level of realism is greatly reduced and only modders can fix that.įallout 4 seems don't need much changes like i did for Skyrim and not looks that bad. Graphics looks poor by quality of other 2015 games, very similar to Skyrim, with flat non shadowed areas after certain distance. Before game release most players mentioned cartoonish look of the game and bad texturing not fit to post apocaliptic game where everything must be broken.

By simply walking over you’ll raise the stairs. Retrace your steps back to the door you opened with the switch. ![]() Once you defeated them, grab the Bag of Holding and enter the teleport which leads you back to the dock area. ![]() If Heretic becomes, like Doom, a huge commercial success, it’s perhaps because the programmers and other creators at Texas-based id Software, where the games were created, have taken aspects of such time-tested children’s activities as hide-and-seek, searching for treasure and capture the flag and put them on a computer screen. On the water, watch out for the wind, which will make your life somewhat more difficult while battling the 2 undead warriors. Heretic is just a spectacularly entertaining and smart roller-coaster ride of a game that is basically simple to play and full of surprises. The setting, like that of Doom, is secondary in importance-although it should be noted that Heretic’s graphics, created by a team that specializes in fantasy games at Raven Software, are beautifully done-and it features no princes, fairies or lessons to be learned. Contents 1 The Story 2 Gameplay 2.1 Episodes 2.2 Difficulty 2. The game was developed by Raven Software and published by id Software on December 23 rd, 1994. The Sidhe are forced to take a drastic measure to sever the natural power. 'Heretic' is the first game in the Serpent Riders Trilogy, following the Sidhe elf known as Corvus as he battles the forces of D'Sparil and his Order across various realms. It’s probably all for the good that you never see yourself-a press release notes that the role you’re playing in Heretic is that of an Elf Wizard.įor all its “Sword and Sorcery” aspects, Heretic is never ponderous, and it’s certainly never cutesy. Heretic II, which plays from a behind-the-back third-person perspective, still controls a lot like a first-person shooter, but its different enough to look and feel not just like a great new. The Serpent Riders thus declared the Sidhe as heretics and waged war against them. Corvus, having been cursed by the Serpent Rider DSparil upon the latter’s death, found himself trapped in the Outer Worlds. ![]() It was developed by Raven Software and published by Activision on November 24th, 1998. The only part of you that is visible are your hands wielding whatever weapon is available at the moment. 'Heretic II' is a standalone game, separate from the Serpent Riders Trilogy, and continues the story of Corvus after the events of Heretic. 'Heretic II' is a standalone game, separate from the Serpent Riders Trilogy, and continues the story of Corvus after the events of Heretic. You are the hero, and as you play, you see everything on your PC screen from the hero’s point of view. Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders is a version of the game that comes bundled with the games only official expansion it includes the original three. Like its forerunner, Heretic is what’s known in computer gaming circles (you can just imagine the stacked-up pizza boxes) as a first-person adventure. On the next page, I discuss the solution to this issue and go over some key takeaways for you from this case study. The lesson here is to be aware that if you decide to do something like this with your meta description, it will only show up properly in Google (and only for now, because Google may change things up later). Check out the results within Bing, Yahoo, Ask, and Dogpile (+1 if you remember Dogpile, hahaha). Interestingly enough, none of the other search engines I tried parsed this meta description like Google. Still no change! At this point, I thought I should try searching for this site in a few other search engines just to see how they parse this particular meta description. Well, after developing an initial theory that Google automatically wraps two terms consisting of at least 27 characters followed by either a space or an underscore + a space (since each of the lines above end with a space, but also an underscore just before the space), a quick test of that theory via a page I created and waited for Google to cache proved false as seen below: Line 5: "WWWWW_WWW_WWWW_WWW_" (27 characters, no space on the end) 3 - When closely comparing the actual meta description to how it appears in Google, I noticed what appeared to be a pattern consisting of two main factors: The number of characters within each line and a space on the end of each line (except for the last line). Line 4: "WWWWW_W_W_W_W_ " (34 characters, including the space on the end) Line 3: "WWWWW_WWW_WWW_W_W_ " (31 characters, including the space on the end) Line 2: "WWWWW_W_W_W_W_ " (34 characters, including the space on the end) Line 1: "WWWWW_WWW_WWWW_WWW_ " (29 characters, including the space on the end) So how did they get it to wrap just like they wanted in Google? A closer examination shows that the characters in the meta description are spaced in the following manner: 2 - The total number of characters used in the description is 155 (if you look closely at the screen shot above and compare it to the actual meta description, you will see a period at the end which results from an addition made by Google and not from the actual meta description from the page). ![]() ![]() Pretty awesome (see: geeky) idea, I must say - but just how did they pull this off? Well, I decided to start chipping away at some ideas as to how they could have done it (and the answer ended up being a simple one, but here's to lessons learned from taking longer paths to resolution :) ), so here is a breakdown of my research:ġ - If you visit the Web site and view their source code, here is their meta description: That's right! That company decided to forgo a keyword-rich description that would garner the attention of a search engine in place of an ASCII art description that would possibly garner the attention of a searcher. It was trivial to craft a theme of my own, crimping colours and fonts from apps like iA Writer and Drafts - and toning down the coloured aspects of the interface that put me off to start with. A simple and elegant templating system makes the Archive customisable in the right way. A wonderfully native app built on plain text purism. An antidote to lollipop iconography, cartoonish design, and the electron powered assault on native apps. It’s still early days, but The Archive is exactly what it needs to be. After downloading a trial and using it in earnest for about a week, I purchased it outright. Since then, between a realisation that my notes are an embarrassing shambles, and my curiosity with a growing enthusiasm among academic nerds for zettelkasten, I took another look. I figured aesthetically it wasn’t for me. I had seen a few posts about The Archive, but I overlooked it after a casual glance. I have grown weary of consumer geeks mistaking the tool for the work, and even more weary of the bizarro apple fan world in which notes apps are somehow second only to task managers for the tech mode du jour. I had heard of The Archive before that exchange, but I wasn’t looking for yet another way to take notes. Having said that, if you should need Markdown tables regularly, it is exactly the tool you need. As it happens I very rarely use Markdown tables for anything these days, so I can’t do Table Flip the justice it deserves. I was messing around with Deckset at the time, so I liked the idea of generating tables for presentations. I reached out to Christian Tietze earlier this year to review his other app, the markdown table generator, Table Flip. I believe The Archive has taken over the mantle of best plain text notes app on macOS. Now it seems, despite the affection I still hold for nvALT, there is finally a better option available for markdown notes. It should be clear why I claimed nvALT was still the best plain text notes solution. Put my discomfort at playing hide and seek with my data against the future proof and flexible plain text notes of nvALT. In a strange sort of way, it means more data tied up inside the Apple leviathan. 2 Nonetheless, the result is data that remains for all practical purposes beholden to those apps, in need of processing if you want to access it elsewhere. ![]() 1 Where iOS is involved, CloudKit sync makes sense for these apps, especially given Apple’s mobile file system remains so half-arsed and piecemeal. Even the excellent note taking utility Drafts - which will soon be available on macOS - ties notes up in a database of sorts. By using a database to store notes, Bear is an ostensibly plain text notes app that ultimately obscures its data.īear is not alone in that of course, the same is true of other popular Markdown and writing apps, like Ulysses. Moreover, it is built upon a significant design decision that counts against it. At the same time, it is kind of cutesy and opinionated. Easily one of the best notes apps, perhaps even one of the better markdown editors for writing. It is delightfully designed, aesthetically pleasing, and feature rich. Fewer still that support features to make them noteworthy for academic work. There are very few native apps for macOS that leave notes unmolested in the file system. Note takers have never had so many apps to choose from, but nvALT still has significant advantages over most plain text note taking apps to come after it. I’d wager the popularity owes much to a lack of alternatives. ![]() PopClip will check spelling by default.One of the most read posts on this site is a brief note praising Brett Terpstra’s wonderfully robust plain text notes app, nvALT.

Vyacheslav Popov, who was the commander of Russia’s Northern Fleet when the Kursk exploded. Such claims were made again in the fall of 2021 by Retired Adm. The Russians had quickly used the old Cold War Soviet-era playbook to attempt to pass blame on the accident, and that included suggesting the Kursk had collided with a NATO submarine that was spying on the exercise. ![]() The exercise involved four attack submarines, the Northern Fleet flagship Pyotr Velikiy, and numerous smaller craft. In August 2000, Kursk was operating in the northern waters of the Barents Sea and was set to take part in a major exercise – the first since the dissolution of the Soviet Union nine years earlier. The other six were assigned to the Pacific Fleet, and while three more were planned, construction was eventually halted. The Kursk, which had been named after the July 1943 Battle of Kursk, the largest tank engagement in history, was one of eleven nuclear-powered Project 949A Antey ( Oscar II) boats built at Seveorvinsk, and was one of the five assigned to the Russian Navy’s Northern Fleet. The crew had not been adequately trained to handle those weapons. Though the weapon is powerful enough to destroy an aircraft carrier with a single hit, the Soviet Union inexplicably designed the torpedo to run on hydrogen peroxide fuel, which is highly volatile and requires careful handling. The Kursk‘s wreckage was recovered and the accident was ultimately traced to the Type-65-76A torpedo. The first one was also the worst when in August 2000 the nuclear-powered Kursk sank in the Barents Sea due to an explosion in its torpedo room, which killed all 118 of its crew. However, since 2000, the Russian Navy has had its own share of submarine disasters. What motivated its development was Russia’s ambition to display a range of weapons that can evade the US missile defence system, said Pavel Podvig, an expert on Russian nuclear forces and senior researcher at the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR).Throughout the Cold War, there had been a number of tragic accidents involving Soviet submarines due to lax safety measures. "It's a torpedo which has an extremely long-range, can travel at high speed and then packs that nuclear punch," said David Hambling, a technology journalist specialising in defence who has authored a book about drones. Much of its actual capabilities remain shrouded in mystery, but its key strengths are thought to be its ability to operate very deep and very fast underwater, making it hard to intercept. The torpedo, which Russia named Poseidon, is about 20 m long, can go 1,000 m deep and has a range of at least 10,000 km, Sidharth Kaushal, a research fellow for seapower and missile defence at the UK defence and security think tank RUSI, told Euronews Next.

This yellowish substance found in the in the middle of the inner crab, and hiding in the points of the shell is not FAT as some people believe. Mustardĭo you eat the crab’s Mustard? Most crab eaters enjoy the crab’s Mustard and consider it a delicacy. If the inside of the crab is bad, you need to discard its claws and legs as well. This is why you do not open and eat the meat from the claws or legs prior to this point. If you are not sure, it is best to discard the crab completely. Eating such a crab can cause you unpleasant stomach problems. In most cases a crab with a nasty odor, or mushy meat, was dead before it was cooked. Is the crab safe to eat? Once the crab is open, if there is a nasty order, or if the meat is mushy – do not eat it. For small size crabs this may not be worth the effort, but for the larger, heavier crabs, you will be rewarded with some additional meat. Squeeze, or use the small knife to remove and eat the morsel of meat. Later you can break open each leg above and below the middle joint. Grab the claws, one at a time, and pull them off the crab (save them to eat in just a bit). Pop off the shell with your thumbs, or hold one side of the legs with one hand, and the shell in the other hand to pull off the shell. ![]() In other situations, it may be okay to pick up a couple of crabs, and then select the one you want, typically the heaviest one for its size. In some circumstances, the unspoken rule is the crab you touch first, is the one you should pick up and eat. ![]() You should follow the “house rules” if a pile of crabs are placed on a table for several people to share. Something cold to drink and you are all set. You also might want a crab mallet to help you crack open the claws. This makes the clean-up faster.) ToolsĪ small knife is a good tool to use. When a bowl gets full, simply dump the contents into a paper bag. (Suggestion: instead of placing the discarded shells directly on the paper, place them in bowls. (A quality Carryout Crab House will sell rolls of butcher paper and it is a good idea to pick up one for your use.) The paper absorbs most of the juice from the crabs and makes clean-up easier. We suggest placing a plastic table cloth on the table, then either a few layers of old newspaper, or a sheet of butcher paper. ![]() If eating crabs at home, you need to prepare the table and get the necessary tools. This article will give you a detailed approach for eating steamed crabs like a native Baltimorean, and suggestions for obtaining all the possible eatable items from a Blue Crab. In addition, some people like to get every morsel of meat and “mustard” from a crab some prefer to skip removing the meat from all available (but hard to reach) nicks and crannies of the crustacean. Many methods for removing the delicate sweet meat from a crab have been perfected – and each person believes his/her method is the best approach.

SwitchArcade Score: 3.5/5 rRootage Reloaded ($5.00) I think it’s more for the curious spelunker of history than those looking for lost treasures, but I’m glad it exists. In terms of content, design, and mechanics, it is extremely unusual for a game of its vintage. From a gameplay point of view it’s not of the highest quality, but it isn’t bad either. But it is such a bizarre game that it’s worth experiencing just to see what happens. In spite of the title, this is just a single game with two regional variants on offer.

It has a bizarre premise that tends to grab attention, and I suspect it is that, plus the small print run of the original games, that has brought us here. It’s a competent side-scrolling shoot-em-up, but hardly a great one.

Your ship has a bullet reflector, which you activate using the special key. The special key switches between white and black mode. You can absorb bullets with the same colour as the mode of your ship, and they will be converted into lasers. Your ship has two modes, white and black, and the enemy bullets come in white and black varieties. The special key increases the range within which bullets graze your ship, but also slows your ship down. When the meter becomes full, your ship is temporarily invincible. When bullets graze your ship the graze meter, which is displayed in the bottom-right corner, increases. The number of bombs you have is displayed in the bottom-right corner. The special key releases a bomb, which destroys enemy bullets. Your ship slows down while your laser is being fired.

However, excavations at Harappa have demonstrated the development of some symbols from potter's marks and graffiti belonging to the earlier Ravi phase from c. 2800–2600 BCE during the Early Harappan period, and emerging alongside administrative objects such as seals and standardised weights during the Kot Diji phase of this period. Early Harappan Įarly examples of the Indus script have been found on pottery inscriptions and clay impressions of inscribed Harappan seals dating to around c. No extant examples of the Indus script have been found on perishable organic materials like papyrus, paper, textiles, leaves, wood, or bark. Seals and their impressions were typically small in size and portable, with most being just 2–3 centimetres in length on each side. The majority of the textual corpus consists of seals, impressions of such seals, and graffiti markings inscribed on pottery. Indus script symbols have primarily been found on stamp seals, pottery, bronze and copper plates, tools, and weapons. See also: Periodisation of the Indus Valley civilisationīy 1977 at least 2,906 inscribed objects with legible inscriptions had been discovered, and by 1992 a total of approx. Linguists such as Iravatham Mahadevan, Kamil Zvelebil, and Asko Parpola have argued that the script had a relation to a Dravidian language. Another possibility for continuity of the Indus tradition is in the megalithic culture graffiti symbols of southern and central India (and Sri Lanka), which probably do not constitute a linguistic script but may have some overlap with the Indus symbol inventory. Raymond Allchin has somewhat cautiously supported the possibility of the Brahmi script being influenced by the Indus script. ![]() Rao, John Newberry, and Krishna Rao have argued that the Brahmi script has some connection with the Indus system. 4,000 inscribed objects had been discovered, some as far afield as Mesopotamia, due to ancient Indus–Mesopotamia relations, with over 400 distinct signs represented across known inscriptions. ![]() The first publication of a seal with Harappan symbols dates to 1875, in a drawing by Alexander Cunningham. However, some of the syntax (if that is what it may be termed) varies depending upon location. There is no known bilingual inscription to help decipher the script, and the script shows no significant changes over time. In spite of many attempts, the 'script' has not yet been deciphered, but efforts are ongoing. Most inscriptions containing these symbols are extremely short, making it difficult to judge whether or not they constituted a writing system used to record the as-yet unidentified language(s) of the Indus Valley Civilisation. The Indus script, also known as the Harappan script, is a corpus of symbols produced by the Indus Valley Civilisation. ![]() This will create a small opening for dust. ![]() This square piece is glued in place and is easiest removed by spreading the casing around the monitor and pulling it out.
