An interesting marketing campaign included Fred Dinenage from ITV’s How 2 ( and later Gareth Jones) marked the start of a good year of UK games marketing choices – although I do hold that the Chuckle Brothers Hitman one was the best. The fantastic XCOM 2 released for PC in February as well it would later release on PS4 & Xbox One in late September. They were joined by the Xbox One version of Rocket League, the bitesize Elite Dangerous: Arena for PC, and the long awaited Cobalt (Xbox One, PC) which was originally announced back in 2013. Titles such as Firewatch (PS4, PC), Unravel (Xbox One, PS4, PC), Layers of Fear (Xbox One, PS4, PC), Superhot (PC), Stardew Valley (PC), and Soul Axiom (PC), were great sellers. We’ll be listing some of the games that launched, discussing some of the events that happened, and discussing some of the implications that they had throughout the year, or might have going into the next.įebruary was a month won over by digital downloads. To wave out the old, and welcome in the new we’ll be going through some of the defining factors of each of the months of the year. As such, there’s rarely a month go by which can be called a bad month in the industry, especially not when we look at it as players rather than puppet-masters and suits. The gaming industry remains one of the fastest evolving industries in the world, one that constantly adapts, and one that is increasingly expanding its reach and grasp on the citizens of the world’s free time.

The death of Nettles from cancer in 1985 challenged the group's views on ascension, where they originally believed that they would ascend to heaven while alive aboard a UFO, they later came to believe that the body was merely a "container" or "vehicle" for the soul, and that their consciousness would be transferred to new "Next Level bodies" upon death. The central belief of the group was that followers could transform themselves into immortal extraterrestrial beings by rejecting their human nature, and they would ascend to heaven, referred to as the "Next Level" or "The Evolutionary Level Above Human". Scholars have described the theology of Heaven's Gate as a mixture of Christian millenarianism, New Age, and ufology, and as such it has been characterized as a UFO religion. In 1976, the group stopped recruiting and instituted a monastic lifestyle. Nettles and Applewhite first met in 1972 and went on a journey of spiritual discovery, identifying themselves as the two witnesses of Revelation, attracting a following of several hundred people in the mid-1970s. Heaven's Gate was an American new religious movement (often described as a cult), founded in 1974 and led by Bonnie Nettles (1927–1985) and Marshall Applewhite (1931–1997), known within the movement as Ti and Do, respectively. Post a comment & talk about it.Human Individual Metamorphosis, Total Overcomers Anonymous Give hope, prayer, and encouragement below. I’d like to send you some free materials to help you start your journey with Jesus. If you just prayed to accept Jesus, please email me at and let me know. I humbly commit my life to you, and I ask you to save me and accept me into your family. “I want to use the rest of my life to serve you instead of serving myself. I believe that, once I accept your love and salvation, nothing can ever separate me from that. And I thank you that I don’t have to earn or work for my salvation, because I know that is impossible. “Jesus, I am grateful for your love and your sacrifice that make it possible for me to join you in heaven. I want to follow you and do what you tell me to do. Today, I’m turning every part of my life over to you. “I confess my sin, and I believe you are God, my Savior. “Dear Jesus, you have promised that if I believe in you, everything I’ve ever done wrong will be forgiven, I will learn the purpose of my life, and you will accept me into your eternal home in heaven one day. Have you put your hand in God’s by trusting Jesus as your Savior?

(Desperate, I will crawl waiting for so long No love, there is no love. He thinks he insane willing to kill himself for a girl just to know if she loved him or not. He feels awful but a part of him still isn't sure & wants to find out if it was ever really true. Then he realizes it took her suicide to make him realize that he really was in love with her but his maddness to try & find out drove them out of love for one another all because of him. He begins to feel proud of himself thinking he has her right where he wants her & she will send him a sign of how she feels then he relaizes that if she could see him his behavior would have made her not love him to start with & he feels disgusted with himself. He's trying to tell the girl that the more toys with him, the more he is slowly begining to fall out of love with her. He begins to think she just wanted to tourment him (as I lie down sore & sick, do you like that) & would killing himself too be the only thing that would make her happy & he is willing to do so just so he could find out if she loves him or not (If I had to I would put myself right beside you, would you like that). He trys not to care because he is mad at her for leaving him & even madder that she left him with no way of knowing is she loved him but is feels guilty about destroying it so he trys to turn the other way & not care but he can't do it & it continues to eat at him (as I look the other way, I still try to find my place in the diary of Jane). He get furious one night because realizes that neither of them knew the truth & he has no way of finding out if it was true or not (tell me how it should be) & through his rage he burns the pages of Jane's only outlook on the her life (as I burn another page). The only problem is she never knew & though he flips through the pages of his diary they never tell him because she was unsure herself & he begins to grow angry (somethings getting in my way, something's just about to break). He is driving himself crazy trying to find out if she really loved him. She ends up commiting suicide & he is both hurt but angry. Hence there being no reflection of her in the mirrors. It was mainly because she, herself, didn't know who she really was. She is depressed & she thinks she loves him but she is trying to keep him away no wanting to open up or be hurt. Also he wants to know more about her herself. He wants to find out more about the girl, the main thing is trying to find his place in her life. First of all, the diary is literal & at the same time it also represents her life. It's about a guy who is in love with a girl, Jane (obviously). I love this song, it's one of my favorite but I never knew what it meant exactly & all the articles & responses I have read about it never seemed right so I'm just gonna say what I really feel it means. Thanks for reading this, this is my first one. When Jane commits suicide (the graveyard in the video at the end) he gives her a rose as in forgiveness, but even though she has passed, he still wants to know if she thought of him differently than what he thought of her. "Die for anyone, what have I become" is when he just needs to be loved back but can't seem to find love because he still loves Jane. "So tell me how it should be" "Desperate I will crawl, what have I become?" Is when he is DETERMINED to find out where he stands. Not necessarily something he WANTS to hear. "As I look the other way" "As I burn another page" "Try to find out what makes you tick" is when he's finding more out where he places in her mind. Like I said before the diary contains thoughts felling personality yadda yadda yadda, when he says "I will try to find my place, in the diary of Jane" he's trying to figure out what he is in her life now, if he's a good friend, an enemy etc. "Somethings getting in the way" meaning there is a slight problem from him trying to figure out if she's still in love. When he yells NO he is either denying her cheating or denying she doesn't want to be around him anymore. This girl doesn't know who or what she is anymore, hence the no reflection in the mirrors. Anyways I think this song is about a guy that loves a girl, but they have already had relationship problems.like her cheating for an example. please? =] A diary contains inside a persons thought, feelings, personality etc. Okay this is my very first thing, so give me a break.

None of those are twitter worthy, but with some trial and error you can get things that are interesting. an ai in the shape of a campfire telling stories to an audience of enthralled forest animals What about weird things? You can put in any input and it'll do something. Pop art is more complicated: it's a celebration of everyday images, and one of the most commonly known versions is Warhol's collection of repeated images in a grid with neon colors that vary per cell. The concept of "kitten" is pretty simply, though note that a kitten can be rendered in a ton of ways, from line drawings to cute art to photorealistic. Particularly interesting is compositionality - can it combine concepts to generate something it's never seen before? Answer: yes! pop art kittens The key thing is is its magical ability to actually follow instructions or descriptions of images. Ok but the point of this isn't that they have a great image generation transformer, though it's clearly that. I also like that the background is blurred, though not quite in the way that a camera would do it - the transition is too abrupt. Still, it's pretty amazing given that it generated this from scratch. For instance, the front legs are too long here, the face isn't quite right, and the ears are a bit weird. You can see that the proportions in the generated images are not quite right, and some of the detail is off if you look closely. Still, this is pretty great! Those are recognizably goldendoodle puppies, mostly in something approximating play position. It often takes a few prompts to find something awesome, so you might have looked at dozens of images or more. One thing to be aware of when you see amazing pictures that DE2 generates, is that there is some cherry picking going on. Let's see some puppies! goldendoodle puppy in play position The diversity varies quite a bit depending on the prompt. Here's how it works: you put in a description of a picture, and it thinks for ~20 seconds and then produces 10 photos that are variations on that description. My general hypothesis is that it would do a better job with things that are easy to find on the internet (cute animals, digital scifi things, famous art) and less well with more abstract or more unusual things. My goal was to try to understand what things DE2 could do well, and what things it had trouble understanding or generating. (Hint: showbiz kids relate to rock-schlock more authentically than albino bluesmen.) C+ I prefer to figure out why Helen Reddy's version of "Raised on Rock" scores two out of a possible three on a credibililty scale of ten while Johnny's gets one. Those who considered Saints and Sinners a masterpiece or hard rock and roll should find this satisfactory. Rock and roll the way Johnny likes it, however, was meant to have a human dimension, and since he has trouble projecting irony or intimacy anyhow, a lot of these die a little when Derringer mixes them into heavy cuts. The average live-sound band is too busy doing promotional tours for its current album to worry about material for the next, but here the songs are lovingly chosen-there's even a good one from the pitiful Richard Supa. Rick Derringer has done the standard live-sound job, in which echo is amplified into unnatural "depth," and theoretically that's fine. I think what puts me off this otherwise searing assertion of rock and roll prowess is the engineering. White blues lives: the best and heaviest track is a Hoodoo Rhythm Devils song. Nastiest: the Delta-styled "Too Much Seconal" and "Ain't Nothing to Me," dedicated to the subversive notion that sometimes the impassivity of country music is a little sadistic. Winter will never be an especially personable singer, but I like what's he's putting out on this monkey-off-my-comeback: two late-Stones covers, plenty of slide, and a good helping of nasty. But except for an intense "Good Morning Little School Girl" it doesn't get any encores. B+Įxcept for the eight-minute "Mean Town Blues," which damn near transforms John Lee Hooker's shuffle into a stumble, this is what every live album ought to be and all too few are: loud, fast, raucous, and to the point. Ex-bluesman Winter represents the South-spacey ex-blues guitar, formless FM songs, exalted vocals (and you thought spacey ex-blues was an insult). White, Hot and Blue B-Įx-popstar Rick Derringer represents the North-real McCoy rock guitar, contentless AM songs, dumb vocals (watch out Steve Miller here comes Dino Valenti). Sound effects can be toggled on and off in the settings. Opera GX has in-browser sound effects, composed in collaboration with sound designer Rubén Rincón and the band Berlinist, who recently received a nomination in the BAFTA Games Awards for Gris game original soundtrack.

The goal of both GX Control features is to enable you to always be able to keep your browser open, even if you're playing or streaming a resource-heavy game. The CPU Limiter lets you put a cap on how much of your computer's processing the browser uses, so the rest can be reserved for gaming. The browser will not for any reason exceed the selected memory cap, even if browsing experience must be sacrificed. The Hard Limit setting forces the browser to stay under the chosen memory limit no matter what. For example, if it's able to keep a stream going or a cloud-based file active, it will let the memory usage go slightly over the set limit. The browser will try to stay at or below the selected memory allotment, but it will prioritize experience over the strict memory amount. The default setting in the RAM Limiter aims to strike a balance between memory use and experience. GX Control's RAM limiter lets you choose how much memory Opera GX uses.

The festival season is a complete unusual ball game if you have young kiddos. None of my indie friends wanted to be Shadow Complex. But I distinctly remember having to explain to several of my developer friends what Shadow Complex even was. However, given the available data in our case, we question the accuracy of values inferred by Bayesian networks in relation to the purposes of ecosystem accounting and tree compensation valuation. As an indie dev who started in the mid aughts, Shadow Complex was pretty interesting to me personally and sparked a lot of creative ideas (especially the foam gun). We argue that there is a potential for greater use of geospatial methods in compiling information for valuation of urban tree inventories, especially when assessing location-specific tree characteristics, and for more spatially sensitive scaling methods for determining asset values of urban forests for the purpose of awareness-raising. We find the expected total asset value of municipal trees in Oslo to be 38.5–43.4 million USD, depending on different modelling assumptions. Furthermore, we illustrate how machine learning with Bayesian networks can be used to extrapolate i-Tree Eco outputs and infer the value of the entire municipal inventory. The integration of Oslo’s tree inventory with available spatial data increases the proportion of records suitable for i-Tree Eco analysis from 19 % to 54 %. We then use auxiliary spatial datasets to derive missing attributes of trees’ spatial context and include differentiation of air pollution levels. We correlate manually surveyed stem diameter and crown dimensions derived from airborne laser scanning imagery to complete most structural attributes. Using a tree inventory of Oslo, Norway, as an example, we demonstrate the potential of geospatial and machine learning methods to supplement missing and incomplete i-Tree Eco attributes in existing municipal inventories for the purpose of rapid low-cost urban ecosystem accounting. However, existing municipal tree inventories may not contain data necessary for running i-Tree Eco and manual field surveys are costly and time consuming. The i-Tree Eco software application can be used to estimate regulating ecosystem services provided by urban forests. RE4 is one of the best horror games of all time, so we cannot wait for its release date - March 24th, 2023 when it comes out for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.Valuing the ecosystem services of urban trees is important for gaining public and political support for urban tree conservation and maintenance. Between the newer first-person games, Resident Evil 7 Biohazard and Resident Evil 8 Village, and the classic third-person Resident Evil 2 Remake and Resident Evil 3 Remake, Capcom has clearly been reaching for the moon with the RE Engine. Even though Resident Evil 4 Remake's announcement might have been spoiled by leaks, the first trailer got us plenty excited, and seeing uncut gameplay footage of it in action has us extremely excited. Is it noticeably scarier? Will it be darker than the original? Does it still have funny moments? Did they make any changes? Did the chainsaw guy get new abilities? The answer is yes, but there's so much more to talk about. After playing through the original Resident Evil 4 dozens of times on everything from GameCube to Meta Quest 2 VR, Brian Altano got to go hands-on with the first 45 minutes of Capcom's highly anticipated next-gen remake of this modern classic of survival-horror action. |
