Fifa 21 release3/30/2023 Related: FIFA 21 Has Absolutely No Cross-Play, Not Even Between PS5 & PS4įIFA 21 was released on October 6 for a variety of platforms, including the Nintendo Switch. While the quality of FIFA games has obviously (but slowly) improved since the first FIFA title was released in 1993, players on the Nintendo Switch may have a hard time telling the differences between the games over the last two years. FIFA is EA's premier soccer simulator which has amassed quite a large following over the past 27 years. So as of yet, very little progress has been made on this front, but who knows? Maybe by the time FIFA 22 comes around things might have changed with the new console generation.Every year, the developers at EA produce a line of sports-themed video games that usually come with minor enhancements to their gameplay and graphics. Baby steps were made last year in regards to cards: Icons will now cost less on the transfer market, but the chances of obtaining one via a pack are still ludicrously low. Card packs are still available and people will certainly continue to buy them (with packs costing between £0.33/$0.42 and £16.66/$20.83 each) – and EA has stated it has no plans to alter its approach to “surprise mechanics” unless laws are passed. In short, microtransactions still look to be an issue in FUT 21 along with their inherent pay-to-win nature. FIFA 21 Microtransaction ReactionOne thing that hasn’t changed are the microtransactions. There’s still FUT, though, complete with it’s controversial microtransactions and surprise mechanics. The changes made to Career mode, however minor they are, have also not made their way across. Most disappointing of all, there’s no sign of Volta the premier new addition to the core game is nowhere to be seen. House Rules are still there but the zany new Mystery Ball mode has sadly not made its way onto the handheld. ![]() Again true to its word, EA has added literally no new game modes since last year’s outing, nor have any tweaks been made to the existing ones. Play Yes, the menus also have benefitted from a fresh lick of paint but what lays within them is sadly exactly the same as FIFA 19. It really adds to the flow of a game how dearly I miss flicking the ball up in the air when receiving a pass and unleashing a powerful on goal when I go back to playing FIFA on the Switch. Still missing are some of FIFA 19’s additions, most notably among them being the first touch system that allows for the ball to be nudged in any direction with the right analogue stick. ![]() This includes the defender-beating strafe dribbling, occasionally bombastic set-up touch and the whole way that defending works now. And, as promised, none of the gameplay innovations implemented in FIFA 20’s big-league version have found their way onto Nintendo’s hybrid device. On the other hand, EA still has the gall to charge £44.99/$49.99 for it, with no upgrade option for owners of FIFA 19. In essence, it’s a stripped back version of FIFA 20 and indicative of its approach to the series on the Switch. It promises the “same gameplay innovation from FIFA 19 without any new development or significant enhancements” as well as “no new game modes”. Still running on EA’s Ignite engine (last used on the PS4/Xbox/PC version for FIFA 16), it simply can’t compete with the fluidity of movement and authentically animated players the Frostbite-powered versions display All in all, FIFA 20’s gameplay on Switch appears to have been largely neglected when compared to last year, and especially when compared to its big brother.” If you feel shortchanged by the fact that all I’ve done is changed a handful of small elements from the original version, mostly to change the date, then you know exactly how I felt when playing FIFA 20 Legacy Edition.ĩ Images To EA’s credit, it has been wholly transparent about the nature of this version, including a name change and being up front about what ‘Legacy Edition’ actually means. “FIFA 20’s moment-to-moment gameplay remains, disappointingly, largely completely unchanged from last year’s under-par outing. Still running on EA’s Ignite engine (last used on the PS4/Xbox/PC version for FIFA 16), it simply can’t compete with the fluidity of movement and authentically animated players the Frostbite-powered versions display All in all, FIFA 19’s gameplay on Switch appears to have been largely neglected when compared to last year, and especially when compared to its big brother.” This year, I have this to say about FIFA 20’s gameplay on Nintendo Switch: Last year, I had this to say about FIFA 19’s gameplay on Nintendo Switch: “FIFA 19’s moment-to-moment gameplay remains, disappointingly, largely unchanged from last year’s under-par outing.

Wild 9 video game3/30/2023 ![]() Only to be kidnapped by a group of Karn bio-geneticists. Young man in search of adventure, Stagg left his castle one day ![]() Once a normal-looking prince and heir to an entire kingdom. and Mac), Volstagg is the strong man of the Wild 9. OFFICIAL BIO: "The final piece of the wild trio' (composed of Wex Major, Stagg. He didn't really have any reason to exist, at the end of the day.so what about the rest of his friends? Is appearing as an icon in sporadic dialog boxes, providing a little exposition and gameplay tips. ![]() What I do remember is that B'angus isn't just hiding from that arch-nemesis, but from a princess of his species that wants to marry him. His old website bio went into a lot more detail, but those bios were unfortunately never collected in working order by the internet archive. Fortunately, many of our other characters will be a lot more fun to talk about.Īs for B'angus, he's alright as a "funny critter" mascot character, sort of a sugar glider with bushbaby eyeballs in a weirdly squashed-looking head. Even just the human girl would have been a little less typical for games of the time. He's by far the least interesting thing anyone came up with for this setting and reeks of Marketing Executives who felt Wex should be a white, 17 year old male because "that's who buys our games." I've heard there was a point at which he was going to be a girl, and another point at which he was going to be a robot or an alien. This means you get to use the rig weapon, and its mechanics are pretty fun for a while, but it also means you hear Wex saying "WEXCELLENT!" every time you grab a power-up. So, regrettably, Wex is our main character for the duration of Wild 9. Loyalty to Wex and the Wild 9 is second to none.too bad his Indestructible container in the entire galaxy.the Rig.

OFFICIAL BIO: "The charming and quick-witted leader of the Wild 9, Wex Major Still sounds like it has a lot of potential, doesn't it? So just who are all these characters, and just what are all those unique powers we make use of in the game? How about the villains, too?ĬLICK MOST ART for their original, high-resolution official uploads! It was a tad disappointing when it became evident that you would continue controlling only Wex, but we were assured that we could find and recruit the remaining members of the Wild 9 over the course of gameplay, whose unique powers would be CRITICAL in helping our progress. You began as Wex, a teenage boy who was, for some unknown reason, the only person capable of operating a superweapon called "The Rig." The core mechanic of the game, this weapon functioned as a portable tractor beam that allowed you to grab, pull, swing and throw things around with bolts of crackling energy. The game itself wasn't too bad, ultimately. Fighting back against this monstrosity and his vast empire are, of course, the rebel freedom fighters known as the Wild 9, a band of misfits and weirdos from every corner of their chaotic, patched-together galaxy. Often mistakenly credited to Earthworm Jim's original creator - who had long left Shiny Entertainment by that time - the game took place in an artificial network of "stolen" planets, ripped from their original solar systems and integrated into a collective under the tyrannical rule of a god-like entity, Karn, with a childishly ignorant and rage-fueled mind. So "Wild 9" was a video game put out by Shiny entertainment in 1998, and it was advertised on the basis of having NINE, count'em, NINE totally extreme main characters! Wow, look at those guys! The game was hyped up even more by its official website, which offered practically a novella's worth of lore spread across extensive character profiles for not only all nine heroes but a slew of creatively odd and gritty villains! THE ASTONISHING ROLES OF THE INCREDIBLE CHARACTERS OF WILD 9!!!!!

Silver screen hereford tx3/30/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Famous films that used Technicolor include The Wizard of Oz (1939) and Singin’ in the Rain (1952). Patented in 1916, filmmakers widely implemented the Technicolor process, characterized by highly saturated colors, up through the early 1950s. This term was coined by the company named Technicolor, and the trademarked term described a brand name for transforming black-and-white film “by means of superimposing the three primary colors to produce a final colored print.” The process replaced a much more time-consuming method of hand-coloring the prints. When English speakers first started attending “the pictures” in the 1910s, movie screens were coated with reflective metallic paint, resulting in a silver surface to better display the projected images.īy the 1920s, the term silver screen moved beyond the literal realm and into metaphorical territory to apply to cinema in general. Fun fact: this type of broadening in which something associated with an object or concept takes on the name of that thing is called metonymy. Where did the phrase silver screen come from? With film award season in full swing (the 2023 Golden Globes were held January 10, and the Oscars air March 12), we examine a few of the more enduring terms, some of which have even broadened their applications beyond the lexicon of film. Take Smell-O-Vision, the movie-going experience in which plot-related scents were pumped into the theater during screenings it made its first and last appearance in the same 1960s film, Scent of Mystery. Some terms, along with the concepts they described, were fleeting. Since its introduction in the early 20th century, the film industry’s contributions to the English language have been manifold.

Blue events were not captured by manual gates, showing shortcomings in the gating strategy) ( An incomplete collection of manually gated populations are overlaid on the corresponding viSNE map of CD45+ PBMC (“Ungated” after viSNE). Here we used viSNE as an example but the same workflow can be applied to other DR algorithms.

The overlaid plots can be colored according to different gated populations or samples within an experiment. A useful tool in the analysis of cytometry data is the ability to overlay plots that would otherwise be viewed separately.

Propresenter remote for mac3/30/2023 ![]() Stream Deck Enhancements – ProPresenter Stream Deck plugin now includes support for adding and removing time from running Timers, triggering Audio Playlists, and setting Stage Layouts.API Timer Increment Action – New API endpoint for Timer Increments that allows users to add or remove time from running Timers.CCLI Auto-Reporting – Automatically report your copyright usages to CCLI without any operator intervention.Advanced Text Fills – Use these new creative Text Fills to take your Presentations to the next level with Media Fills, Text Cut Out, as well as Background Invert and Background Blur Fills.I guess we need to start looking elsewhere for our projecting solution. Not a good start as I prepare to convince the church leadership to go for the new far more expensive pricing structure. We have been using this app for a while now and it has always been ok (no connection issues generally). The connections to the Mac running the software and the iPad are both excellent and everything else is working fine. I would say 4 to 5 seconds.Īlso the connection dropped mid way through a song taking several minutes to reconnect. We can select slides within the library but there is a huge delay before the slide actually displays. Clicking on a slide does absolutely nothing! We can select the Logo but that is about it. Within Playlists we can no longer select anything at all. If we are honest it has never been the most reliable app but it is now useless to us! Unfortunately the new update has broken this very useful app. ![]() Like I said, I understand that I don't use the app in the same way as the majority of users so maybe I'm expecting something different, but I don't think that I'm asking for anything more than what already exists in the main application. So at the most, all I can achieve is basic functionality - loading a video from a list. And the play/pause option doesn't even light up for me to select, so I don't understand why it's there. No controls for bringing the audio up/down. I've managed to create a Media list, which now houses my videos, but the following view gives such little info beside a name (not the full name either) and a tiny thumbnail. Instead the remote is geared towards going through libraries and playlists. just like you can do with the main interface - is what I am looking to do in the remote app. ![]() I use ProPresenter to do live video events and being able to skip through and choose different videos when I want them, clear the foreground/background, bring up a Logo etc. I don't use ProPresenter in the way typically intended by it's creators, so I can accept that maybe what I want from the remote is not what they have in mind, but still.

Pokemon switch games3/30/2023 ![]() ![]() You spend a large portion of your time running around a vast open wilderness catching and battling wild Pokemon, and the people you interact with are clearly just beginning to understand the world of Pokemon. The first game in the chronology is very clearly Pokemon Legends: Arceus seeing as it's set in a time when the relationship between humans and Pokemon was only just starting to form. For the rest, we can only make educated guesses based on a few key details witin the games. Luckily, a now deleted tweet from Toshinobu Matsumiya has given us a starting point for some of the games. The Pokemon timelne may seem pretty linear at first glance, but without enough obvious details to go off of, it can be pretty confusing to try to follow the chronology from title to title. ![]() How to Play the Pokemon Games in Chronological Order The only games in the main series you might not want to jump right into is Black 2 and White 2 as those are sequels. If you're wanting to dive right into Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, it's worth noting that you likely won't be missing out on any overly pertinent information from the previous games. Pokemon Legends: Arceus is also an option, but it is very different from the other mainline games. You can also play Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl for another remake experience. If you only have a Nintendo Switch, you can start with Let's Go Pikachu or Let's Go Eevee, which are kind of like remakes of the original Yellow version from 1998. Play Which Pokemon Games Should You Actually Play First?Ĭhoosing where to start boils down to what Nintendo console you currently have.

Folge fonna3/30/2023 Still, it took more than 3 hours to get there. I suggested going to Folgefonna because it’s close to Bergen, located on the west side of Sorfjord. The summer skiing resort is located in the northern region. kilometers, and the Folgefonna National Park was established in 2005. The southern Folgefonna is the main glacier with an area of 167 sq. The glacier is part of the Folgefonna National Park, and it is merely the third largest glacier in the country.įolgefonna consists of three glaciers, namely the Nordre (northern) Folgefonna, Midtre (central) Folgefonna, and Søndre (southern) Folgefonna. Our first stop is to hop on the speedboat at Norheimsund, where we took some pictures of the stunning view.įolgefonna is not necessarily the most famous glacier in Norway. The trip to Folgefonna will be a bus – ferry – bus journey. The bus took off on time and then we calm ourselves and get some much-needed rest from the run. We were able to jump off the bus in the end, and the driver was kind enough to let us in… but man, it was a stressful 15 minutes in our lives. While we didn’t want to miss the bus, we decided (and it all happened in 10 minutes) to run to the bus station with only our email confirmation (that was printed) and tried to explain what happened. ![]() We saw someone in the ticket office, we were waving like mad people outside at the door, and somehow he chose to completely ignore us. The ticket office is nowhere near the bus stop, and I only realized that when we were at the ticket office at 7:15 am. The tricky thing was, we arrived in Bergen at night after the ticket office closed the day before, and the bus left Bergen at 7:25 am, which is 5-minute before the ticket office opened! It was then I realized we were required to redeem tickets at the ticket office before getting on t bus. We booked the trip online, and the tour was on the weekend. So one morning, we headed out really early in Bergen in the morning for a full-day Fjordtours glacier hike. ![]() I was glad to share it with my family and good friends! My friends and I visited Norway – a country that is famous for its breathtaking natural sceneries and phenomenon, from Fjords, alpine mountains, cliffs, waterfalls, and northern lights, to so much more. I was in Norway in the summer and it was my celebration trip of an important moment in my life. I am always surprised by how mother nature could wow me, which made me feel tiny, together with all my troubles and worries, they suddenly became small.

Math mudlet gold share3/30/2023 ![]() For example, the Sprott Gold Miners ETF consists of a basket of over 30 gold and silver mining stocks that trade on US exchanges. There are also equity-based ETFs that track companies involved in the mining and production of gold. Similar gold-based ETFs include ETFS Physical Swiss Gold Shares ETF, iShares Gold Trust and SPDR Gold Shares. For example, GraniteShares Gold Trust ETF is designed to track the performance of the price of gold and it’s extremely sensitive to the price of the metal. There are a variety of options to look at when you’re deciding on the best gold ETF for you, as different funds will have different functions, costs and offerings. These funds passively track the movement of an industry or basket of stocks and give you broad exposure to that sector – for example, gold mining – rather than exposure to just one company’s shares. It also has two development projects in the pipeline - the Pyrites Plant at Fresnillo and Juanicipio, both of which have been completed and awaiting tie-ins of plants to national electricity grid, and three advanced exploration projects – Orisyvo, Rodeo and Guanajuato, as well as a number of other long term exploration prospects.Īs of March 2023, Fresnillo shares have an average 12-month price target of £878 (equating to an upside potential of 13.2%) and majority rating of ‘hold’ from 11 analysts polled by Refinitiv.Īnother way to gain exposure to gold stocks is to trade or invest in gold exchange traded funds (ETFs). The mining company is the world’s largest primary silver (silver from ore) producer, and Mexico’s second largest gold miner.įresnillo’s core operations are in Mexico, with seven operating mines in Fresnillo, Saucito, Ciénega ,Herradura, Soledad-Dipolos, Noche Buena and San Julián.
