Little big adventure 2 steam7/30/2023 I'm not the only one who noticed the audio difference, as there are Steam reviewers disappointed with the audio in that version (thankfully proving I'm not crazy ). I'm impressed by your knowledge of the different versions! All I can say is that I got this data directly off a legitimate Twinsen's Odyssey CD, then intermixed it with some GOG emulation files to get it running better (never could get it emulating quite perfect by myself). This also explains why I don't recall any music difference between any of the 4 original versions I played (US, Brazilian, European, and Asian English). Hence why it has less music than the GoG version which, being based on the European release, looks for the. LBA2.CFG has Version set to 1, which is the US version, which will make the game look for the CD Audio tracks that are not there (the CD check is most likely cracked out). WAV files instead.Įdit #2: It's not even that - it's just the files of the US version, with TWINSEN.EXE renamed to LBA2.EXE. The latter is based on the European release which had the full tracks as. It's the other way around - it's the TO version that has all the CD tracks, while the LBA 2 version does not, and the reason is simple - the data portion of the CD takes more space due to the French and German voices that are absent in the TO versions.Įdit: That TO must be one of those period Warez scene releases which lacked the CD tracks, which would explain why it has less music than the GoG version. It only contains 1 single track, instead of LBA2 which has various tracks replacing the shorter WAV versions. The music implementation is indeed implemented slightly different because of the fact that the TO version does not have CD Tracks. If you don't believe me, watch the video I made today: The result is that every burst of music is much more moving, and when you're left with ambiance, you become truly immersed. All of the music is still in there, but it's generally in smaller segments that fade to ambiance, rather than repeating over and over. When they made the "Twinsen's Odyssey" version, they took a second pass at the sound design, and made the music usage more minimal, and MUCH more emotionally powerful. How is it possible? Vastly better sound design. This is actually great news If you grew up playing LBA2 instead of Twinsen's odyssey (a lot of you I'm guessing), because you have yet to experience the version that I would argue has practically DOUBLE the emotional impact of LBA2! I would strongly argue that Twinsen's Odyssey is the best version. It probably hasn't been discussed until recently, because before GOG and Steam put their versions up, there wasn't much incentive for one person to play both LBA2 and Twinsen's Odyssey the assumption was that they were the same game, but they aren't! But the version of LBA2 that GOG and Steam are offering is not the best version!! I haven't seen too much talk about this (besides the odd Steam review that's like "This depresses me because the soundtrack is not trimmed like in the CD").

Who painted the persistence of memory7/30/2023 He returned to the academy in 1926, but was permanently expelled shortly before his final exams for declaring that no member of the faculty was competent enough to examine him. That same year, he was arrested and briefly imprisoned in Gerona for allegedly supporting the Separatist movement, though Dalí was actually apolitical at the time (and remained so throughout most of his life). In 1923, Dalí was suspended from the academy for criticizing his teachers and allegedly starting a riot among students over the academy's choice of a professorship. During this time, he was influenced by several different artistic styles, including Metaphysics and Cubism, which earned him attention from his fellow students-though he probably didn't yet understand the Cubist movement entirely. He stayed at the school's student residence and soon brought his eccentricity to a new level, growing long hair and sideburns, and dressing in the style of English Aesthetes of the late 19th century. In 1922, Dalí enrolled at the Academia de San Fernando in Madrid. Father and son would battle over many different issues throughout their lives, until the elder Dalí's death. His father married his deceased wife's sister, which did not endear the younger Dalí any closer to his father, though he respected his aunt. Dalí was 16 years old at the time and was devastated by the loss. In 1921, Dalí's mother, Felipa, died of breast cancer. By 1919, the young artist had his first public exhibition, at the Municipal Theatre of Figueres. The following year, his father organized an exhibition of Dalí's charcoal drawings in the family home. There, he also met Ramon Pichot, a local artist who frequently visited Paris. After that first year at art school, he discovered modern painting in Cadaques while vacationing with his family. He was not a serious student, preferring to daydream in class and stand out as the class eccentric, wearing odd clothing and long hair. Upon recognizing his immense talent, Dalí's parents sent him to drawing school at the Colegio de Hermanos Maristas and the Instituto in Figueres, Spain, in 1916. It was here that his parents built him an art studio before he entered art school. At an early age, Dalí was producing highly sophisticated drawings, and both of his parents strongly supported his artistic talent. In the metaphysical prose he frequently used, Dalí recalled, " resembled each other like two drops of water, but we had different reflections." He "was probably a first version of myself, but conceived too much in the absolute."ĭalí, along with his younger sister Ana Maria and his parents, often spent time at their summer home in the coastal village of Cadaques. Later in his life, Dalí often related the story that when he was 5 years old, his parents took him to the grave of his older brother and told him he was his brother's reincarnation. Their relationship deteriorated when Dalí was still young, exacerbated by competition between he and his father for Felipa's affection.ĭalí had an older brother, born nine months before him, also named Salvador, who died of gastroenteritis. The elder Dalí wouldn't tolerate his son's outbursts or eccentricities and punished him severely. Consequently, Dalí was subjected to furious acts of cruelty by more dominant students or his father. It has been said that young Dalí was a precocious and intelligent child, prone to fits of anger against his parents and schoolmates. She often indulged young Dalí in his art and early eccentricities. Dalí's father had a strict disciplinary approach to raising children-a style of child-rearing which contrasted sharply with that of his mother, Felipa Domenech Ferres. His father, Salvador Dalí y Cusi, was a middle-class lawyer and notary. Early Lifeĭalí was born Salvador Felipe Jacinto Dalí y Domenech on May 11, 1904, in Figueres, Spain, located 16 miles from the French border in the foothills of the Pyrenees Mountains. The rise of fascist leader Francisco Franco in Spain led to the artist's expulsion from the Surrealist movement, but that didn't stop him from painting. He is perhaps best known for his 1931 painting The Persistence of Memory, showing melting clocks in a landscape setting. In the 1920s, he went to Paris and began interacting with artists such as Pablo Picasso, René Magritte and Miró, which led to Dalí's first Surrealist phase. From an early age, Salvador Dalí was encouraged to practice his art, and he would eventually go on to study at an academy in Madrid.

Bzflag optimal settings7/30/2023 In 1997, the release of version 1.7d came with a groundbreaking new feature: an in-game public server list. Soon after, bad and good flags were added, and the idea remains part of game play today however, flags do not have markers and are completely unknown of their types until they are picked up by a tank (unless a tank is carrying an identify flag). There was only one of each flag, and all flags had a marker on them so tanks knew what type it was. The first four flags were High Speed (boosted tank speed), Quick Turn (tank turned faster), Rapid Fire (shots moved faster), and Oscillation Overthruster (tank could go through objects). This release took a new turn compared to older versions after a cheater, who edited the source code of his client to give himself powers that do not come from official releases, inspired Schoeneman and Pasetto to add "super-flags." Super flags affect a tank's performance by adding abilities or weapons to its arsenal. In 1993, BZFlag was released to the public for the first time. This new mode added a requirement of strategy, teamwork, and skill, which was sufficient to keep interest. However, after Schoeneman and his friend Rick Pasetto (who helped Schoeneman develop BZFlag from the beginning) became bored with the concept, they invented the capture-the-flag mode. Originally, BZFlag was simply a shoot 'em up game with no other modes. At first, BZFlag was called "bz" and despite its similarity to the SGI game of the same title by Chris Fouts, both games were completely independent of each other. Note the opaque HUD contrasting with newer versions.īZFlag was originally written in C by Chris Schoeneman in 1992 based on the chart-topping hit arcade game, Battlezone. A daytime, but rather dark, shot from version 1.7d9 while a chat message is being typed.

Purple mattress goldilocks7/30/2023 Goldilocks Purple Mattress CommercialĬheck Purple’s site to see the lowest price We also like that the Purple is available in a lot of the more than 2,500 Mattress model Firm areas nationwide, as well as at select Macy’s shops and other department stores, so you can try it before you purchase (which we advise that you do). In our group screening, the Purple was amongst the best mattress models at isolating motion, so it could likewise be an excellent option if you wake easily when a partner tosses and turns. This advantage might be especially attractive to people who know they sweat when they sleep on memory foam. What we like: The Purple needs to sleep cooler than a lot of memory-foam mattresses, thanks to its gel-foam top layer’s open columns, which allow air to flow through. As one not impressed tester put it: “How is this soft and firm at the same time? It’s like the worst of both.” The columns of gel foam buckle under body weight, so you feel cradled however, as one tester discussed, likewise “buoyed up.” It’s hard to determine the firmness level. What it feels like: The gel foam is shaped into a hollowed-out grid that has a jigglier feel than memory foam or polyfoam. We do not suggest it for individuals who weigh more than 200 pounds. The Purple may appeal to individuals with aching muscles or joints who haven’t found the pressure relief they require from standard foam and spring choices. Goldilocks Purple Mattress Commercial Who it’s for: Lots of testers were shut off by the bed, but 2 various staffers who own it report being satisfied by the Purple overall. The mattress model made crackly sounds when we carried on it. When we tested the Purple in 2018, we discovered it had a jiggly, almost water-bed-like quality. You have to get accustomed to its unusual feel. The Purple Grid allegedly bestows a variety of benefits to your mattress model, too, consisting of pressure relief, support, breathability, durability, and toughness. Senior personnel author Melanie Pinola described the cushion as sensation like a “gelatinous Belgian waffle,” but in an excellent way the Purple Grid makes the cushion both soft and supportive (and makes it feel cooler than the competition). Used in medical devices, such as wheelchair cushions, the squishy Purple Grid can now be found as the top layer of Purple mattress models.Ī 2-inch-thick slab of Purple Grid is likewise utilized in the Purple Double Seat Cushion, a pick in our guide to the very best ergonomic seat cushions. When it comes to the Purple Grid, the polymer is formed into a lattice pattern and, yes, it’s purple. A polymer is merely a chemical compound made with repeating systems. When something is hyperelastic, it suggests that it can be substantially extended in different directions and still return to its original shape. It’s a proprietary gel foam that Purple called Hyper-Elastic Polymer. The Purple Grid is the signature function of Purple mattresses. Take a look at our in-depth video review!

Cohen prepo7/30/2023 We wouldn’t have survived the middle school years without his help! He knows his strengths and weaknesses and tailors his sessions around that. He pushes our son when he needs to and our son totally responds. He explains things so clearly and effortlessly. He is the reason our son has done as well as he has these last 2 years. He has a great way with children and makes learning both easy and interesting. Rob is kind, patient, funny and super smart. Rob has been our son’s math tutor for 2 years now for his 6th and 7th grade years in school. I have recommended Rob to many friends without hesitation. He also worked with my 5th grader this year to prepare for the ELA exam. Rob was always punctual and was always easily accessible by email and phone. My son really enjoyed working with Rob who has a great personality, was very supportive and made math fun. He helped keep my son on track and ahead of the coursework. Rob came to our home weekly to work with my son over an academic year. Rob Cohen tutored my 6th grader when he transitioned to a new citywide gifted and talented school that had an accelerated math program with a very challenging teacher. (parent of a student at Beacon High School) After he got my artistic, creative, not at all interested in math daughter through difficult HS algebra and music theory classes with flying colors, I wanted her to take another math class just so we could keep working with him! (She declined.) Rob also found us an amazing HS English tutor for my son, who is perfect in every way as well, and second only to Rob in my opinion! He is the most patient, intelligent, knowledgeable, pleasant, prompt, engaging, interesting tutor we have ever worked with. (parent of a student at BASIS Independent) I highly recommend him for any tutoring and test prep! Most importantly, Rob makes it enjoyable to learn. He knows all of the material, and can explain the process in many ways to be sure its understood. Rob is patient, flexible, kind, and always a pleasure for my son to work with. Both kids had a grade raise (from C to B and from B to an A) in 2015. He has a very good understanding of how to teach to both learning abilities. Math has always been very difficult for the 10th grader but easy for the 7th grader. Rob has been working with both my kids (10th grade and 7th grade). Rather than pay the absurd prices that the SHSAT vendors charge to prepare for this test, I will have her work with Rob and be sure to report back next year on the results! I have recommended Rob to countless other people and everyone reports back the same experience. It’s not just that Rob taught her how to do the math, but through his encouragement, her “I can’t do it” attitude was changed to a “can do” attitude. Within the first year, she was quickly getting As on her tests and scored above a 4.0 on her state math tests three years in a row. When he first started working with her she was doing terrible in math. He has been working with my daughter for 4 years now. I think you were able to clarify concepts in a way that he could grasp and helped him identify the importance of slowing down and being more careful and thoughtful. I just wanted to let you know that after three sessions with you Jules got a 95 on his trigonometry final! He was thrilled and needless to say your help made the difference. Since its inception, Cohen Math Prep has expanded its operation beyond NYC and evolved into a premier remote tutoring network, boasting tutors and clients literally around the world with a headquarters in Media, PA. At Cohen Math Prep, we offer tutoring for all major academic subjects and standardized tests. Wanting to have more of a direct influence over the learning of individual students, I began working as a math tutor, building up a client base from word-of-mouth and through connections to schools and parent networks.īy 2014, the demand for lessons exceeded what I could meet on my own, and I used the opportunity to assemble a team of highly trained tutors that reflected my abilities, work ethic, and – most importantly – attitude towards teaching and learning. Tutors at your service on on your screens…Ĭohen Math Prep is the culmination of my time as a certified teacher in New York City from 2006 to 2014 – teaching, tutoring, and learning about the various facets of the educational ecosystem in our nation’s largest school district.

Still, there are some things that you’ll need to do that are more similar to the mechanics of Breakout, etc., such as clearing bricks that are falling down. But the opposite holds true in Ballz – in here, your goal is to prevent the bricks from reaching the bottom. The former games would require you to break all the bricks. Here’s how a cover letter should be formatted: Your First & Last Name. As we discussed earlier, a cover letter should follow formal letter protocol and rules, even if the content you write in the body is more on the informal side. The Bricks / Tiles Shouldn’t Hit The FloorĪlthough we did mention that Ballz is similar to Breakout, Arkanoid, and other games of that kind, it is ultimately different as the goals are different. But, in every other case, include a cover letter 6. (But not the same!) This is good old-fashioned retro fun from a company that specializes in the casual arcade genre, so read on for some Ballz tips and hints to help you get the highest possible score. If you’ve seen the game’s sample images on the App Store or Play Store, or opened the game and given it a few spins, you’ll realize that it’s very similar in concept to Breakout and other classic arcade games of a similar nature. Your goal is to break as many bricks as you could before they sink to the bottom of your screen, and collect more items so you can get additional balls and “make an endless ball chain.” Brick levels will be increased with each round you complete, and Ketchapp also suggests that it’s “very hard to reach high scores,” despite the game being easy to play – guess this is their take on the time-tested catchphrase for these casual games, “easy to learn, hard to master.” There isn’t much to this game – just swipe your finger in order to throw the balls and break the bricks. The new game is called Ballz, and as Ketchapp puts it, this is the “champion of time killer(s),” and a great way to relax your brain. Ketchapp’s latest casual puzzle game for Android and iOS is as simple as the games they tend to release in quick succession. |
