9/21/2023 0 Comments Buy deathspankAgain, there are a few new additions such as armor sets. Other aspects of the gameplay still remain from the original game such as you can use Outhouses to teleport around the world, as well as grind items in your inventory that you do not need for extra cash. The quest structure, like the overall game is more of the same, but still interesting. Also, there are some environmental puzzles that you have to solve for some of the quests in the game, which I found to be fun and challenging. I found that this time around there were a lot more fortune cookies scattered around the world, so it made the game a little easier if you are getting stuck on some of your tasks. You are still also able to find fortune cookies around the world to offer help on which quests you need it on. Quests most fetch and kill quests, and are divided into important and non-important, the former being the things you have to do and the latter being the things you can take your time on. The quest structure still remains, as almost every character that you find in the world will offer you quest. The Justice meter also returns, and after each successful hit, you are able to build up your Justice to then unleash a power area of effect attack that knocks enemies back or does extra damage. You still have swords, axes, and spears to use in melee combat, and are still able to chain different melee weapons together in succession to do more damage. I like this new addition, as the gun makes the ranged combat more satisfying and easier to pull off. Instead of crossbows of the past, you now have assault rifles, bazookas, and pistols to dispense your foes. The combat remains very hack and slash and Diablo-esqe, with the only real new addition being the implementation of guns. However, that is obviously not the main draw of the game, as most of your time spent in this world will be used in combat and quests. The story is very good and well told through cutscenes and Deathspank’s patented humorous dialogue. Your first task is to stop him at all costs, and things eventually get complicated from there. The thongs were given out to a variety of crazy characters, with the first one being Santa Claus. The story itself has a hilarious premise, and continues the humor through the duration of the game. However, you soon find out that power corrupts, and each of the four remaining wearers of the thongs are now evil and must be stopped. You eventually escape, and are told that the six Thongs of Power were created long ago, and given to those who were seemingly deserving of the power. After your victory you fall from grace, winding up in a prison camp and must escape to find out an explanation for the thongs. I guess a spoiler warning is in order here, but you defeat the evil Lord VonProng, and realize that he is wearing a Thong of Power, similar to the one worn by the hero Deathspank. The story picks up immediately after the events of the first game. They take a new twist with the gameplay that does make is feel somewhat fresh, but again, it was only two months since the last game, and it is time for Deathspank to be a hero for the downtrodden once again. However, they did not have the time to update the issues I had with the first one, so unfortunately they still remain. The reason for the game being released so soon was the fact that both games were being developed at the same time. Now, I know I just said that some games are more of the same, and this one definitely is, but I enjoyed the original Deathspank so much that I didn’t have a problem with the two month turnaround that was implemented here. Well it seems that the team at Hot Head games and EA are trying to capitalize on the popularity of the original Deathspank with the new sequel entitled Deathspank: Thongs of Virtue. It is usually used to describe a sequel that is released soon after the original game is has hit store shelves. The phrase more of the same comes around in gaming quite a bit. It’s time to spank some more death, in a thong even.

The Filter away AFK time in ActivityWatch makes it think that the computer was not being used (when the videos were playing, but the mouse and keyboard were idle). I also tested the tracking methods by running MPV, YouTube videos in full screen. Otherwise, the Window and Browser tab won't display your web usage stats.Ĭurrently, there are only few other watchers available (Editor watchers, Media watchers), which you can get from the official website. You will need the ActivityWatch - Open Source Time Tracker add-on for Firefox or the ActivityWatch Web Watcher extension for Chrome to monitor your web usage. if you were working on Notepad, ActivityWatch would identify the program correctly along with the document's title, same goes for video players, computer games, or web browsers. The default ones that the program ships with are the watchers for AFK (away from keyboard) which recognizes idle time due to lack of activity, and Window (to detect which application is active, and the title of the window). Watchers are the modules that enable ActivityWatch to track your usage. It provides raw data that you may process on your own. The settings tab has just one setting: to set the time of the day (can be useful for people working in night shifts). Queries, Raw Data is intended for people with coding knowledge and are not essential to use the program. The stopwatch is in early development and hence lacks customization, but it can be used for basic purposes. The timeline tab is kind of similar to the window tab but displays an overall usage timeline for browsers, applications, etc. The Browser tab displays top browser domains and top browser URLs, i.e., the websites and web pages that you spent the most time on.īack to the main tab bar: you can use the Summary tab to view your weekly/monthly/yearly summaries. The Window tab displays a visual timeline of your activity listing the exact time that every window was accessed, right down to the exact number of seconds that you spent on the webpage. it will display, but not specify which videos you watched. The top browser domains lists only the time spent on the top-level domain and not specific pages on the website. There is a filter AFK option which is enabled by default so that idle time does not count towards usage by default. The list is displayed in descending order of your usage time per category. Basically, it is a list of your most used programs, documents and websites that you spent time on. The main tab displays the summary of the day's activities including the Top Applications, Top Window Titles, and Top Browser Domains. You can view the statistics for today and all previous days that the program has tracked. The Today Tab lets you access the daily activity. There are three more options placed in the right corner: Query, Raw Data and Settings. There are two tab bars in the interface: the primary one has the following options: Today, Summary, Timeline, Stopwatch. The application's is controlled through a dashboard that can be accessed from the following URL: localhost:5600 or in your browser, just like how you would access a router page. You can right-click on the icon to exit the application, access the dashboard, log folders, and disable watcher modules. Once installed, the program sits in the system tray and works in the background. if you are worried that you spend too much time on Facebook or Twitter or some other website or application or game, you can use your ActivityWatch logs to determine how much time you actually spend on these sites. You may use the application to log your activity, e.g. The program stores the data on your computer which ensures that privacy is not an issue when it comes to using the program on your devices. It is in my opinion a tool that can help improve your productivity. It works similarly to Google's MyActivity or Firefox's ActivityStream features but globally on the systems the program is run on.ĪctivityWatch is an open source personal time-tracking application its goal is to log "your usage" for "your analysis". You can find out the answers to all these questions with ActivityWatch in case you are interested in analyzing your online activity. 9/21/2023 0 Comments 4chan zombie questToday /b/, tomorrow any site that doesn't pay up to ATT.

While social distancing was “an absolute necessity,” he said, the separation “undercut what is so very distinctive about Eckerd College and other small residential colleges.”Įckerd College president James Annarelli greets students on campus. While Eckerd’s enrollment has remained stable at just under 2,000 students, Annarelli said the school and others like it felt the pandemic’s impact more acutely, as they rely on a sense of community. But as a private institution, Eckerd has so far been insulated from the political currents that led to a tumultuous state takeover of New College earlier this spring. Other small liberal arts schools, including publicly funded New College of Florida in Sarasota, are facing a similar reckoning. “How do we maintain our mission and focus, yet adapt that mission to changing needs in society and among our students?” “The question while I’m president that I want to lead the community in addressing is, what does a residential liberal arts college like Eckerd look like moving further into the 21st century?” he said. This is a place and community we really care about.”Īnnarelli said he sees the president’s role as a vocation and his most pressing task as propelling Eckerd into the future. “Most of us are here because there’s a set of values that are really important to us - values and a vision of the world. “He’s part of the community and knows Eckerd deeply,” Garcia said. It’s that leadership from the heart.”Ĭhristyna Reagan, president of Eckerd’s Organization of Students, said she didn’t think students would be as excited about the president’s selection as they were when Annarelli was named. “He always puts the college’s interest first and community interest first. “We already had the right person for the job,” said Blanca Garcia, assistant director of inclusive excellence at Eckerd. Eckerd students who graduated in the early 2000s came to be like older siblings and still keep in touch. His own two children, now 31 and 27, grew up on the campus, he said, and were often toted along to weekend events. He worked closely with students on various initiatives - from Eckerd’s famed pet graduation, started in 2013, to the more recent Eckerd Together Forum, started in 2021 to unite the campus after a string of troubling social media posts and protests. Īnnarelli, 68, has been at Eckerd for more than three decades, serving 21 years as dean for students along with a variety of other administrative positions.

Each location and many bosses in the game are previously seen in an earlier entry in the series, with the game including numerous other references to past entries. Devil's Details and Dimps helped create the Windows and 3DS versions, respectively. The Windows version is noted for its active modding scene, where a dedicated community creates new gameplay mechanics, levels, and assets for the game. The game received positive reviews from critics and was a commercial success, selling 1.85 million copies by May 2012. Reviewers found its visuals, audio, and gameplay to be highlights, and called it a good tribute to the franchise. It also received some criticism, mostly for its occasional frame rate and control problems. Reception to the 3DS version was mixed reviewers criticized its short length and design, and deemed it worse than Dimps' previous Sonic games. The Classic iteration of Sonic introduced in the game has continued to make appearances throughout the franchise. Gameplay in Chemical Plant, the game's second level. Classic Sonic's levels are played from a 2D perspective ( top) while Modern Sonic's are played from a 3D perspective ( bottom). Sonic Generations is a platform game in which players control two variants of Sonic the Hedgehog: "Classic" or "Modern". Classic Sonic's gameplay is restricted side-scrolling gameplay similar to the original Sonic the Hedgehog games released in the 1990s, and requires him to use moves such as the Spin Dash and the Spin Attack. Modern Sonic's gameplay follows the gameplay style of Sonic Unleashed (2008), and Sonic Colors (2010), featuring an amalgamation of third-person and side-scrolling perspectives and techniques such as boosting and homing attacks. Both Sonics collect rings as a form of health, and power-ups such as elemental shields, invincibility, speed shoes, skateboards, or Wisps. Players can also customize each Sonic's abilities, and purchase additional ones at a Skill Shop. The game's main hub is a realm called White Space, in which the player can explore, converse with other characters, and access the game's levels, each of which are derived from a previous entry in the series. 9/20/2023 0 Comments Tableau public save locallyIt automatically refreshes data from web apps, like Google Analytics and Salesforce.

However, Julian Lighton was soon announced as the new maintainer in March 2006, but did not release a new version of the game. Rühlmann stepped down in October 2005, leading to a brief period of uncertainty. The process was completed on 9 January 2009. This "Angband Open Source Initiative" was designed to make Angband proper Open source under the GPL license. In light of these perceived issues, an initiative to re-license Angband was therefore started by maintainer Rühlmann in 2000. The license also does not explicitly allow code modification, something which is in practice ignored by the Angband community. The original Moria/Angband software license allowed distribution of the game, but only does so if "not for profit", which precludes packaging with many Linux distributions or inclusion within a magazine cover disc. The Angband community, however, did not generally embrace the addition of scripting, with many expressing confusion over its usage, and was therefore later removed. He also introduced Lua, a lightweight scripting language, with the intention of simplifying development of both the main game and its variants. Rühlmann's contributions included releasing version 3.0, which included many monster and object changes contributed by Jonathan Ellis. Like other maintainers, he eventually moved on to other interests, passing the title to Robert Rühlmann in 2000. This in turn led to the large number of variants currently available, as well as the rather large number of ports. Harrison was the maintainer responsible for the "Great Code Cleanup", modularizing, extending, and greatly improving the readability of the Angband source code. They released "2.4.frog_knows", which was enhanced by others and widely ported to non-Unix platforms.įollowing their departure, the later principals of Angband have included Charles Swiger, Ben Harrison, and Robert Rühlmann. After Cutler and Astrand, the source code was maintained at the University of Warwick by Geoff Hill and Sean Marsh. They wanted to expand the game Umoria by adding items, monsters, and features. The first version of Angband was created by Alex Cutler and Andy Astrand at the University of Warwick in 1990. The levels are procedurally generated, allowing for a unique game in every play. Although Angband records the player's progress to a save file, it does not allow one to resume a saved game in which the player character has already been beaten. The player has a certain amount of health points. Īngband gameplay emphasises combat and careful resource management. The player also meets characters and finds artifacts from Tolkien's legendarium. With the help of found objects and enchantments, the player's attack and defense power increases, and can even neutralise specific attacks. Once in the maze-like fortress, the player encounters traps, monsters, equipment, and hidden doors. The player begins in a town where they can buy equipment before beginning the descent. The game is reputed to be extremely difficult. The goal of Angband is to survive 100 floor levels of the fortress Angband in order to defeat Morgoth. It is identified as one of the "major roguelikes" by John Harris. The current version of Angband is available for all major operating systems, including Unix, Windows, Mac OS X, and Android.
