The player cannot acquire a second Opalescent Shell if one is already in their inventory. "Time Played" does not log time spent as a guest (intended?) The Abandoned Throne event required a seemingly unintendedly high number of beetle kills before the Mudling Queen appears. Reload animations are sometimes not rendered. Consumable animations often do not play correctly for other players as a guest. Dragon Heart heal VFX and SFX play before the actual heal takes place. Fusion Cannon does not retain mod charge with Mod Refund. Blink Token's maximum distance does not seem to be as far as the tooltip suggests. "Enemies remaining" count during The Tale of Two Lizzes and The Root Shrine can sometimes be wrong. The burning icon that appears when the player comes too close to the entrance to Undying Throne without the Howling Key also appears at this time. The player can rarely catch fire when entering/exiting dungeons in Rhom. The burning icon that appears when the player comes should fix this.

Konvent – Call Down the Sun (March 11th)ĭenmark’s Konvent has been very hyped, and I’m mostly along for the ride, even though I’m not as ecstatic as some of the band’s fans. Most of it’s been very good, so it will be interesting to see what 2022’s “Kuusumu” brings. Kuolemanlaakso have released everything from quirky death/doom metal to gothic metal over the years. “Reflection in Slow Time”: Spotify | YouTube Firebreather – Dwell in the Fog (February 25th)ĭo you like the distortion sludgy and turned to 11? Lots of pedals? Then Firebreather is for you! New album in February. Very cool side-project from one of the members from Winterfylleth! Shape of Despair – Return to the Void (February 22nd)įinnish funeral doom masters Shape of Despair are also coming out with a new album in 2022. Not sure how to classify this thing, but it’s certainly doom and mostly metal. ![]() My thoughts: Really good one, super-dark and a step forward in the band’s sound! Arð – Take Up My Bones (February 18th) High hopes for this one being yet another step up. Hangman’s Chair is a truly dark band, and I really enjoyed the last album from 2018. Hangman’s Chair – A Loner (February 11th) Album title “Dead Language” sounds like the band will be as bleak as ever. Russia is known for good depressive metal music, and Inner Missing is one the country’s veteran bands. Inner Missing – Dead Language (February 5th) Judging by the single “Gökotta”, it’s going to be a quality disc. I’m a sucker for melodic death/doom metal, so the odds aren’t high that I’ll dig this Spanish Solitude Productions band too. “ Event Horizon”: Spotify | YouTube Shattered Sigh – Through Dark Veils (February 4th) Judgement: absolutely kick-ass and even better than the last one! Will be high on my album of the year list for 2022! Saukkonen/Heikkilä is a proven melancholy super-combo, so I would be surprised if this album isn’t an awesome one. I loved the last DoS album, it was even in my top 5 that year. Dawn of Solace – Flames of Perdition (January 28th) ![]() Well, here it is! I enjoyed their last album from 2018 so I’ll check this one out for sure. Druid Lord – Relics of the Dead (January 21th)ĭruid Lord plays that slow, chunky style of death/doom some detractors say I never put in my lists. Definitely has potential to be one of the top doom records of the year. 40 Watt Sun – Perfect Light (January 21th)Ĥ0 Watt Sun is arguably one of the most depressive bands out there, and 2022 marks the release of the third full-length album “Perfect Light”. It’s the band’s first full-length album in 11 years, so it will be interesting to hear the 2022 take of the band. Spain’s In Loving Memory play a somewhat familiar, but well-composed form of melodic death/doom.

The reasons are several, but I’ll try to get back on it during the summer, and return with new-found power in 2023. My ambition is for it to be both a doom metal 2022 calendar and a list of the best albums to check out. Doom metal is one of my main styles, so hopefully I can dig up some cool new bands for you to listen to! Also, I’ll try to not limit to the more extreme styles of doom, which has been pointed out in the past. As usual, I’ll do my best to keep up with the music during the year.

There are two companies that have made waves in the international spotlight.īeyond Meat and Impossible Foods have been cheered in the mainstream and their products are exploding in popularity. Plant-Based Meat Companies Making a Difference Drew Angerer | Getty Images While lab-grown meat is a fascinating topic that deserves a lot of attention, this article is going to look into some of the companies leading the way in the plant-based meat revolution. No one is expecting a vegan to consume the clean meat but its success could be an integral part of the fight to end animal farming. Lab-grown meats, or clean meat, comes from animal cells that are swabbed from the mouth of live animals.Īnd while the target audience of these meats is meat eaters, vegans should be applauding the efforts and rooting for victory when it comes to the success of companies like Memphis Meats. Plant-based meat is different from lab-grown meat, or clean meat, which is also starting to appear a lot in the news. The target audience ranges from vegans all the way to meat eaters. While these meat alternatives might not be the healthiest options (more on that soon), they are appealing to almost everyone. Plant-based meat (like Beyond Burgers) is a vegan product that is made from non-animal sources. It’s also easy to find plant-based nuggets, deli slices, cheeses, dairy alternatives, and much more.Īnd while plant-based meat used to consist mainly of soy and vegetables, new technologies have made it possible to create meat-free hamburgers that can even fool meat eaters. Some of the most popular types of plant-based meat are made to replace hamburgers and hot dogs. ![]() These products are typically made from soy, vegetables, seitan, tempeh, pea proteins, and other plant-based ingredients. Plant-based meat is an animal-free alternative to common processed foods that are typically made of animal parts. What is Plant-Based Meat? Image via Impossible Foods Tofurky was launched all the way back in 1980 and the Boca Foods Company, maker of the famous Boca Burger, dates back to 1979.Īnd while those products are still popular to this day, the plant-based meat industry has come a long way since the days of few choices and scarce availability. In fact, they have been around for decades. Beyond Meat’s IPO made international headlines and showed people that plant-based alternatives are here to disrupt the system. And 2019 was the year that they became a force to be reckoned with. This has created a surge in awareness and put meat alternatives into the spotlight.Ģ018 was the year that meat alternatives were truly put on the radar of many people outside of the world of vegans. ![]() Plant-based meat is rapidly growing in popularity. ![]() How to check if Tomcat is already running and kill existing tomcat process.

Lol Dude, its an WW1 FPS, how could you play with only yourself and no others AI or Human? Are you gonna shoot at trees?

Tannenberg is a game set on the Eastern Front of WW1. by which definition do the other players need to be human?Įven in the trailer you released with the patch today you only mentioned "multiplayer warfare". heck, you can play with both real players and bots at the same time right now and it's still just entirely multiplayer despite the presence of alleged "singleplayer" bots. Just because you're playing with other players that are AI controlled, it is still multiplayer (=several other players). as i said in a similar thread over at the verduns forums already: All of us at BlackMill Games are very grateful for the help that M2H provided in laying the foundations of the WW1 Game Series.Originally posted by NotLazyJustCrazy: A lot of people interept it as having a campaign, which is technically not what the tag 'Single Player' means.īut it is.

Yazdani suggests, "Pay more attention to the size and the type of bristles." He adds, "More expensive does not always mean more efficient cleaning, as there are many affordable options that can do the job." Capabilities ![]() What's your toothbrush budget? On the lower end, you can get a cheap electric toothbrush for $20 to $50, but it won't have certain features such as a lithium-ion battery or a sensor.Ī higher-ticket toothbrush in the $100-to-$200 range may have more features that may be worth it, but Dr. It has Apple Health integration as well.First things first. If you have cavities, you’ll be able to prove to your dentist that you kept good brushing habits. I loved Quip before, but it’s a lot more fun now, and hey - it’s just fun to track the data. It’s certainly kept me more accountable with brushing for the entire two minutes when I would usually cut it off before and only brush for a minute. I’ve enjoyed monitoring my progress since I upgraded my toothbrush. If you brush for two minutes in the morning and evening for an entire week, you get five bonus points. If you brush for two minutes at bedtime, you’ll get two more points. If you brush for two minutes in the morning, you get a point. It’s a fun way to stay on track with brushing habits. As you keep good brushing habits, you can redeem them for discounts over replacement brush heads, a $5 Target gift card, or other Quip accessories. You can view your brushing history to see weekly activity.Īlong with the new toothbrush, Quip has rolled out a new rewards program. It also shows the coverage of time spent on the top and the bottom of your mouth, the numbers of strokes, and your brush’s overall intensity. The Quip toothbrush is designed to run for two minutes each time you brush, but since my kids also have Quip toothbrushes, once I upgrade theirs to the Bluetooth model, it would sync, and I could monitor their brushing habits. You might be wondering, why would I want a smart toothbrush? The first thing it can track is the duration fo your brushing. I rarely open the app right afterward, but it always seems to be immediately up to date. I was worried I would need to manually open the app for data to sync after each brush, but it’s been the opposite. Once it’s paired, it’s an automatic process with syncing data over. Once it was inserted into the toothbrush, I had to pair it using the new Quip app. If you’re purchasing Quip today, you’ll have the option of buying a toothbrush with the Bluetooth motor built-in, but I had to swap out my existing motor to add it. I’ve even started using the Quip branded floss as well. ![]() I’ve found it to be a great toothbrush, and I love the recurring subscription option to get a new head, battery, and toothpaste every three months. When you turn it on, it pulses every 30 seconds, letting you know to change quadrants in your mouth (top left, top right, etc.). It’s a toothbrush that includes replaceable heads, a vibrating motor, and a battery. If you aren’t familiar with Quip, let me get you up to speed. I recently got an email about a new ‘motor’ for their existing toothbrushes that adds Bluetooth support, so I jumped on to add it. I’ve been using Quip for a couple of years after I heard a podcast ad for them, and now every member of my house is using one of them. If you follow my HomeKit Weekly series, you know that I am a sucker for anything I can make “smart.” In my never-ending quest to have an app for everything in my house, I now have a Bluetooth enabled toothbrush from Quip. In other words, it is pretty damn stable.Īny thoughts, questions or comments - I'd be happy to hear/answer them.Ĭlick to expand. It is now routinely used to handle multi-TB backups in production environments as well as a ton of smaller home and personal backup. During beta it saw about 15,000 installations and it went through 67 interim releases. The app went through 12 months of beta, from May 2013 to May this year. There's also quite a bit of interesting stuff in the development log. I have killed about 18 months on the app and a good half of it went into the UI design. Archiving of deleted items with age-based auto-pruning There backup scheduling options - periodic, real-time and manualĦ. This also prevents a backup from going on some other removable device that may just show up under the same letter.Ģ. ![]() Removable device tracking - it can make a note of a device fingerprint or its volume label and then track it across all drive letters, should the drive get a new one. There are no dependencies on any external frameworks - not even MFC/ATL - it's all done over raw Win32 API with a bit of COM where it's unavoidable.ġ. The app is written pretty much in C, though it does use several C++ features and it is compiled as a ++ code. I come from the system programming background and writing a lean code is a habit. It's heavily optimized through out in terms of mundane code optimization. So at the end of the backup it has the exact picture of what's at the destination, so on the next run it has no need to scan it.ĥ. remembers what's there and the incrementally updates this snapshot as it works its way through the backup. It defaults to maintaining a local snapshot of the destination, instead of re-scanning it on every run. Not a rocket science by any means, but this can speed things up by a factor of 10 when scanning slower NASes over laggy networks.Ĥ. It uses parallel disk scanning, when building the file lists for source/destination locations. It has a higher bulk copying speed than newer robocopy versions and other specialized 3rd party programs that I have tested.ģ. This eliminates unnecessary idling when copying and helps keeping the copying pipeline busy at all times. It uses fully asynchronous I/O with adaptive buffering, meaning that the app never waits for a read/write request to complete before issuing the next one. With delta copying a day worth of changes takes under an hour to propagate.Ģ. I run a backup that includes 256 GB TrueCrypt container and straight copying to an external USB3 drive takes about 4 hours. ![]() This speeds things up, in many cases dramatically. It uses delta copying to update file modified between the backup runs, so that it copied only modified blocks of files. It merely copies things from A to B, as is, and it is exceedingly good at it.ġ. It is not a all-in-one backup tool, it doesn't compress things, it doesn't FTP or encrypt files nor does it have a restore function. It's not a system backup, it doesn't create a system image that can be used to restore a bootable system after a failure. If you are currently doing your backups by copying files from your primary machine to an external drive or a NAS, the app will help you do it better, faster and in altogether more pleasant format. It's a simple data backup software that is meant for mirroring directories. |
