2/1/2024 0 Comments I hate to stupid gameWhat is fandom but a bunch of players trying to win a never ending game of Trivial Pursuit? It’s all trivia now, details. Art is now structured like games are structured. I went into the arts to get away from this stuff. Maybe games and the data, and the structures, and the numbers that underlie them would sit better with me if I didn’t already feel like everything else is made up of the same things. And since no good piece of tech-especially one that can activate the compulsive centers of so many brains-ever goes under-appreciated, Wardle almost immediately sold his game to The New York Times for a seven-figure sum. The whole thing is cute: a software engineer named Josh Wardle-Wardle, Wordle-invented it for his partner, because of course he did. Oh, and with that block of little colored squares, the results look cute on social media. It’s not demanding, it’s not overly addictive (it’s too limited to be), and everyone can do it together. My friend says Wordle took off because of how low stakes it is-it’s casual, once a day, a hermetically sealed blip of ease (well, for some people). Imagine being competitive and literally never winning? I would never want to do a psychological assessment of why I hate games because it’s obvious: I hate games because I am an ontological loser. And I am OK at journalism, but so many others are better. Even though I was bad at games, I was OK at sports, but my brother was better. A journalist in a world that doesn’t care about journalists-moron. All those people I played with, including my brother, became professors. The one who could remember nothing about science or math or history-the moron. That even with family friends, when all of us were kids and would play Trivial Pursuit, I felt like the idiot-the one who could do the Hollywood shit, but nothing else. I know that I always felt like the idiot in the family. I know some version of the answer anyway. I would never want to do a psychological assessment of why I hate games (I have too many other pressing psych concerns-hah). And my dad, without a hint of irony, said, “You didn’t want it as much as me.” How awful is that? When they were walking off the court, sweating, exhausted, my uncle expressed shock at the results. My uncle (who was married to my mom’s sister) is like 10 years or so younger than my dad and early on into their relationship they played a “leisurely” game of squash. It’s such a pain in the ass that you tend to avoid doing anything competitive with them, and if you must, you are definitely tempted to let them have the entire thing just to avoid the fallout. If you haven’t lived with a sore loser, you don’t know what a drag they are. I get the impatience from my mom-who is also solution based, which offsets the impatience when she does Wordle-and the competitiveness from my dad. I am not stupid enough to play anything with a child. I only get into huffs with opponents my age. Why was I playing Monopoly at six? And why have I turned into that friend who had a fit? Apparently, she got up in a huff and left. My mom recalls that when I was around six a friend of hers had a fit because I was cheating at Monopoly. This is why I tend to avoid games-I turn into a child. Then he turned on Mario Kart from 1996 and I stopped tantruming. So I swore and threw my controller across the room (age: 41). Then he turned on some new shit I did not recognize, and I was absolutely appalling at it. He references that time a few months ago when we “played” Mario Kart. The guy who tricked me into doing Wordle, a guy who knows me well, thinks I hate games for two reasons: I am impatient, and I am competitive. And it makes me feel like an idiot every single day. All of these things make me feel incredibly stupid on a regular basis. I hate reading because it’s so hard for me to do. She told me about her Wordle system, and I said, “All that brain power for what?” And she laughed. She’s also got good recall-as a doctor you need that. She has been doing that for the past, oh, I don’t know, 900 years? That is 900 years of vocabulary. This is not about age, it is about method it is about follow through. She regularly guessed faster than the guy who had tricked me into trying it. She used up all the vowels first and the consonants inevitably followed. My mom, a retired doctor, had a strategy. I had been told it was entirely based on luck-bullshit. Six tries to guess the word and three were completely wrong.

Since you wont have any defensive skills yet, you MUST use your "tagger" weapon to bring just one mob at a time to you for killing, if you get 2 or more on you at once your armor decay bill will be very high. You MUST budget from each run for ped to replace your Korss when it breaks. You MUST sell your loot for Markup to make up for losses vs the TT. You can expect that in time your average return will be around 80-90%.You can expect a good run to bring back about 150% of your costs in loot.You can expect a bad run to bring back about 50% of your costs in loot.Save the rest for ammo and repairs = 797pedģ00ped of ammo should last you an hour or two of hunting.Full TT Korss H400(L) w/ markup = 203ped.To do any real hunting you will need about 100more dollars(1000peds) (I would recommend talking to Manny, Corey or Magyar for more info on Next Island mobs if you are there) If you are on Next Island you are also a pioneer and there are plenty of mobs you can kill including the Sea Artist Pirates. If you are on Rocktropia you are a pioneer and no one has figured out a "best" mob to camp yet, but you can hunt Werewolves, Motorhead Security, Medium Zombies and high end Vampires and Vixens. If you are playing on Calypso I would highly recommend hunting Drone gen1-3 (North of Jason Center) for a while until your dodge skills increase some and then move up to gen 1-5(south of Zychion Citadel). Skills and gear can not make up for knowledge of the game, you should still study and research what you are going to do even when you have them, otherwise you will just be a "rich idiot." But on the other hand its nice to say "I am such and such level" as well as actually being able to hunt at that level early in your carrier. Its great to say you reached such and such goal naturally with no chips. The other disadvantage to chipping in is pride. Within a few weeks of hunting at this level you will gain those skills anyways, so I don't think it is too big of a deal. The biggest disadvantage (besides cost) to chipping in to this level right away is that you wont have any of the peripheral skills and defense skills you would have gained by skilling naturally. It would take a conservative non-depositing player about a year to achieve this.A hard core grinder could achieve this in a week, but they would probably loose quite a bit of PED in the process.It would take a normal couple of hours a day player a few months to reach this stage of skills and gear on a marginal budget.Gear + Skills = 2133ped (1923ped with only 5Bs and no 6As) (1783ped with only 6As and no 5Bs) Total Cost of Gear = 1153ped (943ped with only 5Bs and no 6As) (803ped with only 6As and no 5Bs) JUELZ MIC-Killa SG2(L) w/ markup = 57ped (seems to be the cheapest per shot long range tagger right now).Teleportation Chip I w/ markup = 90ped (you can get low tt ones if you want to be cheap and only spend ~10).

Certainly, it is suitable to carefully define some of the terminology frequently used in project management before further expanding on the abilities of ProjectLibre, since the use of these terms is not completely uniform, either in project management software nor in organizational usage. Obviously, this list of features is not intended to be comprehensive and there is nothing remarkably unique about this list. Current features include: task management, work breakdown structure generation (a list and a graphical representation), resource allocation and tracking, and Gantt charts that provide a clear view of the critical path elements of the schedule. The feature set included in the current version of ProjectLibre is largely the one in Open Project, the predecessor open source program. Obviously, that includes MS Project, as well as several other such projects and most other open source alternatives like Calligra Plan. It is free software, just as the name suggests, but it is also compatible with any other project management software that can read and write. ProjectLibre is a freshly strengthened open source project proposed to update and invigorate a software tool projected as an alternative to commercial software like Microsoft Project. 2/1/2024 0 Comments Aws workspacesInstall SSM Agent for a hybrid environment (Windows)Įnsure that your SSM agent has the managed policy ( ) that enables AWS Systems Manager service core functionality.If your EC2 instances don't have the SSM Agent, you'll need to install it using either of the following relevant instructions from Amazon: If you already have the SSM agent pre-installed, the AMIs are listed in AMIs with SSM Agent preinstalled.

But en route, their ship goes off course, and they are stranded in the middle of nowhere, with dangerous cosmic events and alien lives that threaten their survival. The epic adventure series follows the Robinson family, who are sent to another planet as a part of a colonization program. The former show was further inspired by the 1812 novel, The Swiss Family Robinson by Johann David Wyss. Foundation premiered on Apple TV+ in September 2021 and has been renewed for a second season.Īnother show with a long history, this sci-fi series is a Netflix original revival of the 1965 television series of the same name, by Irwin Allen. The series is critically acclaimed for its visual experience, production values, and impressive performances. Goyer and Josh Friedman, Foundation stars Jared Harris, Lee Pace, Lou Llobell, Leah Harvey, Laura Birn, Terrence Mann, and Cassian Bilton in lead roles. So, you can imagine all the politics, drama, and intensity that the show’s narrative carries.ĭirected by David S. In simpler words, Foundation is the story of the rise and fall of a giant galactic civilization. The plot focuses on Seldon and his loyal followers who fight the system so they can preserve their legacy. Hari Seldon, a visionary who invents a new form of mathematics that predicts the downfall of the empire. Foundation treads on very different elements of interplanetary life and the evolution of the human race. Foundation is a complex, 1000-year chronicle of humans, scattered throughout the galaxy, who all live under the common rule of the Galactic Empire. The show is loosely based on the classic novel series of the same name by Isaac Asimov. While some of them are close to The Expanse, others explore life in space with a whole new perspective.įoundation is one of the latest sci-fi series that you could consider to be a good successor to The Expanse. So, here are our best picks of some popular sci-fi series made in this millennium. If you loved The Expanse, you are most likely looking for something similar now that the show is over. The series has a generous dose of everything that you would expect in a great sci-fi show – suspense, adventure, scientific theories, a lot of bureaucracy, and a dedicated team who protect the human race. Despite limited fanfare initially, The Expanse eventually earned fame for its unique story, great cast and their performances, stunning visuals, and an interesting narrative weaving politics, futurism, science, and drama. The Expanse is set hundreds of years in the future, where an unlikely group of people, including an interplanetary ship’s captain, his crew, and a detective, must try to thwart all conspiracies that threaten the entire system and save humanity from aliens and rival political groups. The highly acclaimed sci-fi series is considered to be one of the smartest sci-fi shows of recent times. Based on the novel series of the same name written by James S.A Corey (joint pen name of Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck), the series was developed by Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby. When The Expanse ended, fans were not only left with a lot of unanswered questions (which was to be expected) but also with a little sadness that it was finally over. 2/1/2024 0 Comments Disk inventory x m1Pick launcher.exe and name the shortcut SWTOR.Click on Make a new shortcut from this virtual drive.
