Instead of facing the problem in ourselves we become convinced that the partner has been the problem all along. My Partner is the ProblemĪnd other myths like this one, are what continue to break down the relationship. After a time of this repetitive cycle something ultimately breaks down in the relationship: your partner leaves, or you leave your partner, or your partner learns to fight back even more effectively. Which brings us the same experience we were trying to avoid in the first place. When these familiar, old behaviours do not help with our problems we don’t try something new we only try harder using the same old methods. one I call the Insanity Loop (stay tuned for more about the Insanity Loop process). Trying something new leads to a new understanding but fear often forces us to revert to the old, familiar patterns of behaviour that just keeps creating the familiar pain. In fact, we harden the link to the past by staying safe and fearing to take chances when we feel anxious and vulnerable. Conflict is Repeating the Pastīecause our personalities are shaped by early family and childhood experiences, we seem doomed to repeat the mistakes and relive the pains of the past. When you find your coping strategies that are still running, and creating the behaviour that’s causing the pain, you can then make a choice to continue them or stop repeating the past. Finding the childhood root of these needs then helps you discover the ways you learned to cope within your family system (rules). To unravel and reveal these expectations and needs we need to look into our past… when we were young, impressionable and eager to please. But putting all our hopes and ex pectations of that into the relationship will eventually destroy it. No one can save you and take away the pain, that’s the Fairy Tale fantasy. ![]() This unconscious habit becomes a central theme in relationships and often leads to disappointment. “We shouldn’t have to argue in a relationship.” “If you loved me, you would/wouldn’t do that.” “You should know what I want without me having to ask.” ![]() We then, unknowingly, make our partners responsible for removing that pain and healing all our wounds. We bring into our adult relationships emotional baggage in the form of pains, hurts and wounds stemming from childhood experiences. We all carry beliefs or dreams about what relationship should be, fairy tale or not, and those beliefs are what become… Your emotional baggage in Intimate Relationships

![]() SoulWorker is about binding a few abilities, and comboing them with other abilities. You bind your abilities to a variety of different keys, and have a fairly large hotbar, something that the 2 aforementioned games lack. I think games like SoulWorker and PSO2 New Genesis both have better combat in terms of an Anime MMO, but they also feel like completely different types of games.ĭragon Nest employs much more of a traditional action combat system. That might be a contentious opinion – but we’re all welcome to our own, right? And I guess, let me preface this by stating that it doesn’t. Speaking of combat, many players argue Dragon Nest has the best combat in the Anime scene. You’ll see enormous towns and cities, you’ll have epic fights with dragons, demons. ![]() With less visible detail than in games like Aura Kingdom or SoulWorker.īut different games have different graphical styles, so it makes complete sense. Improve my class, unlock new skills.īut I was level 95 after what, less than 20 hours of playing the game? With a rudimentary level of understanding of my character, the systems present within the game, or, heck, the game itself.ĭisregarding how overpowered I was upon my return, and how confused I was at this juncture, Dragon Nest is a great looking Anime MMO.Īesthetically, it has a pretty unique style. ![]() Or I could pursue missions via the Mission Board. This left me to do one of a few different things: Continue with the story, which took me to new areas, had me run dungeons I’d never run before, as I made progress towards hitting endgame. I proceeded to hit level 95 with absolutely no issue whatsoever, and due to that, no challenge. This allowed me to catch up pretty rapidly, though. I stopped playing at level 87, and at the time, was 2, maybe 3-shotting bosses.Īfter coming back this time, I was given multiple additional pieces of gear that gave me hundreds of thousands attack power, and allowed for me to 1-shot bosses in the dungeon after the dungeon I was in. For reference, when I came back last year, I was given a powerful accesory that gave me tens of thousands of attack power, allowing me to 1-shot every monster, every boss up until level 70? It’s been about 7, 8 months since then, and after logging in for the first time, not only was I presented with the most welcoming returnīut I was also gifted with even more powerful items. That was the first time in 5 years I’d logged into the game, and it had changed substantially in that period. With hours of content and tons of secrets and unlockables, Cook, Serve, Delicious will provide a big challenge for anyone who’s ready to take their crumbling, rat infested eatery to a luxurious Platinum Star Restaurant.I last played Dragon Nest in the middle of 2021. Can you prove your culinary skills?Īnd if that weren’t enough, you’ll also have the opportunity to be cast in the Iron Cook television show, throw parties for offices in SherriSoda Tower, read virtual mail in your SherriSoda Tower Email account which ranges from game tips to crazy spam, from customers providing feedback to your restaurant to opportunities to being able to fund projects via 'ClicknStart' and other big surprises! ![]() Nearly everything is unlocked from the start of the game for you to purchase this is your restaurant, and you must figure out the best strategy to get that restaurant packed with satisfied customers. To do that, you’ll start with a few thousand dollars and twenty foods to choose from to put on your menu, as well as a host of restaurant equipment and more. But with the local economy rising back up and occupancy reaching its maximum, SherriSoda Tower has decided to bring back the old Cook, Serve, Delicious restaurant, and has given you complete control to bring it back to its old five star status of world class dining. The game centers on an old, worn down restaurant in the SherriSoda Tower, which was once the heart of the building but closed down as business (and tenants) dropped to an all time low. Cook, Serve, Delicious is a strategic restaurant sim, one of the few in its genre that gives the players total control over where they want to take their restaurant. Overall, was a very good episode that isn’t quite on the same level as the previous one but it’s a close one. Oh yeah, Vicious and Julia continue their plans to take over the syndicate. It probably was one of the highlights and was the show at its most restrained. I’ll say that Daniella Pineda is a highlight in this episode, especially in the emotional moment in the end. By 2068, Vicious had become a strong member of the Red Dragon, along with Spike Spiegel. Much about his early life was not widely known. He attempted a coup of the syndicate and became its leader briefly before being killed by Spike Spiegel. It’s good that after the halfway mark we finally see some payoffs. Vicious (, Bishasu) was a member of the Red Dragon Crime Syndicate and veteran of the Titan War. Overall, a strong episode once again that continues to build up from previous storylines. We’ll see what the future has in store for our protagonist. We know little about how old this version of Faye actually is and if she even has the debt from the original. It seems that their focus is more on setting up Faye’s actual mother at the end of that episode. Yes, it was a distraction in the original but that was fun seeing Jet and Spike going out of their way to solve the mystery surrounding it. It seems convenient that their ship happens to have the player they need. Heartbreak is on the horizon at this rate, which won’t go over so easily this time around.Īs much as I enjoy this take on Whitney, I do think the episode wraps up the cassette mystery way too fast. It’s a great way to build up the point made in the previous episode when the fake Julia confronted Spieka bout lying to his long-time partner. While he does forgive her for lying about her not-mother being a con artist, it sets up a bigger betrayal later down the line. The episode does have an important set-up surrounding Jet’s emotional reaction to being betrayed. The same goes for Spike still recovering from the events of “Binary Two-Step” adding a nice layer of continuity that also lets you know that this takes place directly after the previous one. It’s a bit fast considering where they started this season, but I like that we see episodes that seemed a bit out of nowhere continue to build into the next. Jet gets some great moments, as we also build upon some character development between him and Chalmers, which was sweet to see. These two characters build a relationship throughout the episode that is a twisted take that kind of works. I like this take a tad more than the original. Right after she got out of cryo-sleep, this version of the character pretended to be her mother and conned her out of her Identikit. Early on, we find out how this gender-bent version of the character played into Faye’s origin. We finally get a pay-off from a few episodes ago on the arrival of Whitney. Can Netflix’s take on Cowboy Bebop pull off one of the calmer moments from the original series and can it continue the momentum built from the previous episode? Spike Spiegel's history with Julia, Vicious, and the Red Dragon syndicate is ultimately something that defines his character, which he is unable to escape.After taking a backseat in the last episode, Faye Valentine takes the leading role in the seventh episode “Galileo Hustle.” Yet, most of the episode does have our crew interacting (always a plus) and we get some tension between Jet and Spike, as we get a set-up for an eventual betrayal later down the line. However, Spike's history continues to haunt him, popping up in key episodes and especially Cowboy Bebop's memorable finale. It is known that they met in 2068 and quickly became one of the most feared tandems in the galaxy. What's less clear is how Spike met and teamed up with Jet Black, forming the bounty-hunting team that stars in the Cowboy Bebop TV series and movie. This event is reflected in the main series through wordless flashbacks of Spike in the rain walking away from a cemetery. Spike believed that Julia deserted him, leading to his bitterness in the main series of Cowboy Bebop. As a result, Julia ran away and went into hiding in an attempt to save Spike. Vicious told Julia that if she met with Spike, they would both be killed. ![]() Spike planned to fake his death, but Vicious discovered the plot. His love for Julia motivated Spike to try to escape the Red Dragon to live a life with her. But unfortunately, they are wrong as well. Grinch, much? However, some emoji scholars interpret this as a beating heart, so it is likely a complimentary emoji to send and receive. Though it is growing in size, the intended portrayal of the emoji is never the case. Good for: Apologies, confessions of love, crushes.īad for: Platonic friendships. It’s saying, ‘All is forgiven,’ or ‘I understand and still accept you as you are.’ You appreciate the other person and believe or not, this emoji is a good apology heart no matter what end of the apology you’re on. Just like the heart is rocking, you are also vibing. ![]() Good for: Heavy talks via text, accepting an apology, forgiving someone, and apologizing to someone yourself.īad for: Platonic friendships. Two Static Pink Hearts □Īlso known as, ‘the Mind-Meld heart’ because it is intended for when you and someone else are on the same level about something and jinx each other. Good for: Relaying someone your ETA when you’re meeting up, signing off a “catching up” session, setting date plans in place.īad for: Serious talks. Also, use this for confirming plans at the moment as this emoji also intends immediacy. This heart radiates and tickles with excitement as the exclamation point below the heart implies that you genuinely love the other person’s company and therefore can’t wait to see them. Add a dash of this to a casual crush or new boyfriend, friends or even family because it’s all good. This heart is so loveable for it’s versatility. Good for: Giving your partner a hard time if they disappoint you.īad for: Truly expressing a broken heart or shattered expectations. Disappointing your partner by milking them is a no no. But is it really necessary to use this sign of a broken heart just for that one moment, even though you know you still love them? The irony, though. Yes, we know you are upset with each other so you fight. What an adrenaline.īad for: Someone you’re very casually dating. Just imagine how your crush breaks your hopes within seconds because your heart is within their hands making you so anxious by the minute. The black heart is a symbol of deep, embarrassing, romantic love. How ironic can this emoji get than its portrayed color applied on a heart? Well, it can because it is used ironically as well. Good for: Shamelessly booty calling someone.īad for: Anyone whose parents you’ve met. Risky little heart here having two intended completely different meanings. ![]() But despite that, it is also related to your grandpa’s purple heart if you see this cropping up in a family group chat. Purple Heart □Īlright, let’s get real here, we all know that the purple heart is a horny emoji thanks to Ty Dolla Sign’s Purple Emoji. Good for: Random DMs on Instagram in a non-sexual context, group chats for those awkward silences, and texting your parents when they check-inīad for: Hmm it’s hard to misuse this one can’t go wrong here. Good for: Acquaintances, mutual friends, and probably junior varsity friends.īad for: Anyone you wouldn’t accept on LinkedIn. Oh and this heart tends to speak more on the sender’s behalf than any relationship the sender has with the receiver. Typically your friend that volunteers probably uses it excessively. But believe it or not, it’s a sign of a bragging heart. ![]() Though people who do good and love the earth heavily support this color of emoji. Although it is green, it doesn’t mean there is an environmental subtext to it. Good for: Family and the start of a new relationship showing affection.īad for: Anyone you’ve ever seen naked or would like to eventually see naked. Maybe that is why this emoji is seen mostly around Mother’s Day and within conversations with your elderly loved ones. So it is likely intended and utilized for familial relationships, friendship (not just your friends but other supportive figures), or romance moving onto friendship territory. It’s safe to say that this heart is very gentle. ![]() Now is that not such an obvious sign from the guys, ladies? It’s too much of a coincidence to pick the orange heart emoji when it’s placed next to the red heart and at that too random of a color to mean anything.īad for: Anything beyond that. Its usually supported by male partners that ultimately decide to send a non-committal version of the red heart instead. Hmmm well this one has a nickname alright, ‘the coward’s red heart’. Good for: The start of a new relationship, showing platonic friend support.īad for: Following up after a first date. After sending and receiving this a first few times with your loved one, it probably doesn’t become a statement anymore. However, it’s probably going to impress you only the first time when you’ve received or sent it. It can be accounted for as a timeless, platonic-love or support emoji as well during times of grief or loss. The red heart as you expected is the most basic but considered the most romantic. ![]() Mobile devices use data connections as well as Wi-Fi. The Always On feature is an added touch that keeps your IPVanish VPN active anytime Internet traffic is detected. Mobile support needs to be a part of the equation and iOS gets some support here. The home computer is no longer a standalone device. With this feature, IPVanish can suggest a server that they promise to be the fastest based on your location. MacĪPI Load Balancing is not offered on Windows. Windows support includes a Zero Logs feature that does not record any activity or data when using IPVanish, which should be standard fare for a VPN. The LAN Blocking feature is a win for privacy: It blocks devices from communicating with yours if you happen to be sharing a LAN. The kill switch is supported by Windows, which, when turned on, will block network traffic if IPVanish loses your connection. ![]() IPVanish supports simultaneous connections, up to 10 at a time to be exact.Įach device is unique in its feature list, so every platform has varying levels of support. IPVanish comes in strong with support for the majority. Multiple Devices Are SupportedĪ VPN system, or really any app for that matter, should be compatible with various devices for it to be truly reliable. ![]() ![]() The version of your IPVanish is also listed to help you stay up to date on the software. Terms of Service and license information are housed here, appropriately so. It seems like shortcuts should be toggled through general settings, but this is a personal preference. The inclusion of keyboard shortcuts for power-users is nice, although I’m not sure about the placement. Keyboard shortcuts are enabled through the information widget. I like the easy access to reconnection, and IPVanish customizes the number of tries it will perform in the event of a disconnection. Here’s where the kill switch is controlled. Having easily accessible support is a win when troubleshooting is necessary.Ĭlicking over to the Connection tab gives you some more options to control protocols. Here’s where the language can change, various startup settings can be configured, and support is available. The Settings widget controls all of the options for the app. Opening up the settings will allow changes to General settings. There is also a search function to narrow down countries if you have a location in mind. Having these two options available provides more flexibility when choosing a server. IPVanish has a server list widget that visually displays available servers, both by list and by map location. Once I was up and running with a connection, there was a lot to unpack. The IPVanish toolbar comes with a strong package of in-app features. It will provide an updated IP, location, time connected, server, and data up/down with an informative graph. Once connected, the app generates further information about the active connection. Again, the simple interface keeps everything in a clear view. The connection uses the best available country, city, and server. You’ll see the status of the kill switch (that’s touched on more later).Ĭlicking connect establishes a connection to a default network. Information such as your current IP address, location, the current protocol, and status of your connection. This tab provides some information before a server is even connected. The interface is clean and simple and does not clutter their user forms.Ĭompleting login opens the home interface, on the Quick Connect tab. Running the app asked for sign-in information or you don’t have an account, to sign up. All it took was agreeing to their terms of service and the installation happened in one step.Īs soon as IPVanish confirmed the installation, all I had to do was click run to launch the application. Installing IPVanish was quick thanks to their one-click install. IPVanish launches easily, with some tools to get you started. Apps with complicated set-ups are at a disadvantage from the start, but this was not the case. Setting up IPVanish, I found that the user experience was quite smooth. I broke this VPN down to find the pros and cons, dabbling in the details of their product from network speeds to pricing. I wanted to get into the nuts and bolts of the service, and this IPVanish review will do just that. This US-based VPN provider touts high speeds, an expansive network (75+ according to their statistics), and some pretty strong claims to privacy. There’s one VPN that claims the title of the “only true Top Tier VPN service” in the world. ![]() The Scout Elves take extra special care when it comes to writing their Christmas cards, and this year will be no different.

![]() ![]() The graphic to the right shows a list of all items that can be used with a chute. You can eventually fix this (somewhat) by using ramps and scaffolding, but that demands resources that are scarce in the early game. Important note: Your workers will have to GO AROUND any chutes you build at the beginning of the game. Although you can draw an entire line from start to finish, it doesn’t always end up where you want it. You can use “r” when building a chute to change between straight and corner pieces. The farther from a building your resources are, the more beneficial it is to build them. ![]() Please note that they cannot place items in the middle of the chute!īecause they are inexpensive to build, it is worth even short stretches to save your workers a walk. They can be set and will work even on flat ground (no slope needed), and you can assign your workers to deposit their loads at the end.

In order to issue a command to a worker (with the exception of Minecart) first select the worker using LMB. You will still generate wool if you’re not using your fertilizer quickly enough. For example, the recipe for wool produces fertilizer as well. Even if the fertilizer storage is full at a pasture, other items do not stop production.It is a by-product of most of the other options and you will have plenty. Although you can produce Fertilizer using its own recipe at a pasture, don’t bother.You can place farms close together and overlap their areas.(Click the building, then use the “+” button). You can increase the harvest rate by adding workers to your farm. Water and fertilizer only affect the re-growth of crops on farms, not the harvest rate.A forestry building requires red coins to harvest regular trees, but not fruit trees.This includes fruit trees, which must be harvested by a “forester” building. Although the game will let you plant trees (once you build the box for them) in the area covered by a farm, you will not be able to harvest them.This is useful early in the game when you may wish to output a single type of item onto a chute. You will want to de-select the “Auto-manage” box as well. ![]() If you want to only produce one thing, go in and make sure it is the only “recipe” checked.
![]() This release implements a call//1 built-in non-terminal, changes the scope of the built-in methods phrase/2-3 for more consistent meta-predicate semantics, clarifies the scope of the term-expansion and goal-expansion mechanisms, fixes all known bugs, adds experimental on-line help support, adds man pages for all POSIX shell scripts, bundles Victor Lagerkvist’s Verdi Neruda (a meta-interpreter collection that includes both top-down and bottom-up search strategies), and includes portability updates for Ciao Prolog, ECLiPSe, Qu-Prolog, SWI-Prolog, XSB, and YAP. As a multi-paradigm language, it includes support for both prototypes and classes, protocols (interfaces), component-based programming through category-based composition, event-driven programming, and high-level multi-threading programming. The Logtalk code is as readable as the module code, provides the same performance, and requires just one more directive, endobject/0, that any decent editor will type for you by expanding an object template.

The other consideration: updates are smooth if you’re on the latest-and-greatest software already, and running a recent machine. Steinberg reports that their software works, but doesn’t yet recommend upgrading because of some isolated issues. We’ll see how quickly they can resolve these issues. See: Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) support for Media Composer, Pro Tools, Sibelius, EUCON and ISIS Also, the presence of Avid drivers can actually break Native Instruments’ software – Maschine, Komplete Kontrol, Traktor, Guitar Rig and Controller Editor – which otherwise would work. Yosemite: Mac OS X 10.10 Compatibility Information Īvid, for their part, hasn’t certified compatibility of anything they make – nothing, apart from Sibelius. Sweetwater has a great update guide, receiving regular updates – definitely read this before updating (and thanks, Sweetwater, for saving the rest of us the work. There are some other glitches here and there, though. What once was the center of the industry these days seems out of pace for many, many producers, the question of whether Avid is ready for an OS update has become a non-issue. I haven’t been able to replicate this or found anyone who can, but some users have reported issues, which seem to be addressed in the next update:Īpple asks developers to focus on Wi-Fi in first Yosemite beta update įor music, meanwhile, the main issues seem to be Avid. ![]() The only area of concern at the moment (backup, backup, always backup) is wifi. Maybe some of that agony we went through in the past has paid dividends. Older hardware owners are definitely left in the dark, but it’s been a while since Apple has changed system requirements. And anecdotally, I’ve seen a bunch of people update to the new OS on recent machines and report real happiness with the results. ![]() The lag in testing and compatibility is measured in days or weeks rather than months. (Hint: not in the dressing room before a gig.) And don’t rush to update – there’s nothing here that you immediately need for music work.īut in this case, if you are trying out OS X Yosemite for other reasons – or investing in a new Apple computer (the MacBook Pros are especially nicely priced at the moment) – you may be pleasantly surprised that there a few issues. ![]() Time something major like an OS update for when you’ve got time to test, and to revert if you have trouble. Backup your system before doing anything (even Apple’s Time Machine I’ve found does the job nicely). OS X Yosemite (10.10 is a major update to a desktop operating system that brings with it almost no apparent headaches for pro audio. |
