![]() ![]() Yet, that’s not really what I’d want from a racing game in terms of actual feedback. Both triggers are alive as they try to add to the immersion of the game’s action. Braking heavily while turning will have the left trigger do its angry clicking wiggle back at you, but the same effect is also used for other big impacts, like landing from a jump. It’s surprising and initially jarring to say the least, and the polar opposite of realism, but it allows Codemasters to use the triggers for more feedback alongside the vibration of the controller’s grips.Īs you’re racing, bouncing around on track, jostling for postition, there’s obviously variation in the vibration you’re getting through the haptic motors, but the triggers also shift and alter their tension. As soon as you start playing, you notice that Codemasters Chesire have ratcheted up the tension of the right trigger, your accelerator, while leaving the left trigger completely loose. No mean feat for a cross-gen game that’s building off a lot of iterative content, as WRC 9 is.īy contrast, Dirt 5’s approach is more surprising. ![]() Obviously, smashing into a wall or something similarly definitive never failed to get some angry buzzing, and I was delighted when my right trigger suddenly became heavy to indicate engine damage, but KT Racing could work to fine tune the feedback the game is outputting further. There’s some inconsistency here, where I’d expect cutting a corner to rumble my controller harder and finding it remaining absolutely consistent with the rest of the road. Dip some tyres into the rough and you’ll feel it fed through that side of the controller… most of the time. ![]() Of course, that’s if you’re managing to stay on the incredibly twisty and narrow of the technical rally stages found throughout this game. You can add to that the sound of stones kicking up and bouncing off the car’s floor, the sounds conveniently coming from the controller held below your head. You could immediately tell the difference between different surfaces if you needed to, but there’s a great variation from the smooth asphalt’s non-existent feedback, to light gravel giving a steady thrumming buzz as you drive over it, and then heavy gravel where there’s jagged, violent and unpredictable rumble from the haptics. The rest of the feedback is reserved for a combination of the haptics rumble and the built-in speaker of the DualSense. Its one other bit of information to impart is when you’re slipping to a halt, angrily clicking at your finger and making a bit of a racket as the game tells you off. The brakes, meanwhile, are kept almost as loose, but add tension and resistance as you reach the bottom of the left trigger’s travel, mimicking some of the feel of a real brake pedal or a loadcell in a high-end racing wheel set up. The right trigger, your accelerator, is kept loose, but as you pull it back and your rally car rockets forward, you’ll immediately notice the little clicks and nudges it gives to your finger as gears shift up. WRC 9 lives up to its sim rallying aspirations, giving us a pretty straight forward interpretation. ![]()

![]() Unky TimFU figured this out for us and opened the door when he lowered the middle bucket on the left and the bottom bucket on the right. You move the lava by spinning the in a circle. You will reach a door with 2 gears, 6 buckets, and 2 lava spouts you have for a puzzle. Killing the witch (4) will reward you with your PRIWEN - ENARMES (PRI 1/3). While you are inside of caves you can't freeze to death but you can get hit by random lava balls that fly through the air so take note if this is Valhalla mode. Walk out of the red circle to get your abilities back. The troll witches can drop a totem, not the ones for challenges, that will prevent you from being able to use your gifts. Head to the longship and choose Vengeance for your next mission. Upgrade Smithy and Armorer to LVL 2 before selling/dismantling loot. This also sets you up for another achievement down the line (Ragnar Lodbrok) Pick the first option to gain more iron from every mission. Destroy these totems and then rinse and repeat the boss until he dies. These will do damage to you while you attack them so pay close attention to your health especially if this is Valhalla mode. The boss fight consists of a fire breath attack that should be avoided at all costs, a ground pound that stuns you, and this boss summons fire totems when injured enough. This is followed by another rune puzzle that is unnecessary to any achievement so I will skip it but the solution is in the prior room before the previous rune puzzle.Ĭontinue forward until you reach the door to the boss but only after completing the challenges. From left to right it must be X, F, M, T. Inside the following room will be another rune puzzle. After traversing through a swamp, over a snowy mountain and into a cave you will climb a platform, after some traps, and have to break a wall. Make sure before entering the swamp that you have killed 7 shield maidens. Have the Runesmith add any rune you can to any weapon/armor you can to unlock:Ī weapon without runes is not a weapon worth wielding! After her third appearance she will be vanquished once and for all.įirst go visit the newly acquired Runesmith and upgrade it to LVL 2 and Skald to LVL 3 as long as you have the materials needed. Like Grindan she will disappear and summon enemies periodically based on health but while fighting those enemies she will launch poison rockets at you. This one summons poison totems that you should destroy. X, T, X, M (Letters that most resemble runes and will be frequently used from here on). When you reach a door way you must turn the gears to match the runes on the door from left to right. Numbers made it too messy so please manually count and keep track to avoid having to return to any zone. ![]() The green huts are not numbered due to the close proximity of the circles. Don't leave each zone until you have the appropriate amount of kills since all 20 are in the first zone of the map. You may have to run around a bunch or open a chest to get the last one/few to appear. He drops the artifact LAVATEINN - HAFT (LAV 1/3)Ī note on the red dots - the numbers represent how many Febvaitir will appear there but they are a bit fickle. He is rather straight forward but does have the ability to kill you so heal as needed. At about 1/3rd of his health lost he disappears and summons enemies. He can stun you and to avoid this you will have to roll. When you move forward you will be attacked by Grindan. Green Dots - Tomte Huts (30) Note: Huts not numbered due to small space. ![]() Red Dots - Febvaitir (20) Note: Numbers represent how many you will find around that circle. ![]() The rest of the fight is identical.įreed the Fjords from the curse of the Jokul. When the boss returns to the throne he will have a new move where he does a big ice ring around his throne to freeze you which also speeds up the blue bar. Watch the blue bar to make sure you aren't going to freeze to death. Dodge out of blue circles to avoid freezing. During his stay on the throne, he will spawn easy-to-kill ghost wolves. He will stand up on an ice throne that you have to break to 1/3rd health then he drops down. Follow the rest of the collectibles on the map before finally reaching the boss. After activating all 5 you can go to the purple star and collect your first artifact SKATHI'S GREATBOW - GRIP (SKA 1/3). You will see a broken tower with boards on the front of it. There are 5 levers that I have numbered using purple circles on the map. ![]() ![]() A group of nuns was put in charge of the place but they could not keep up with the upkeep. Alas, the park was closed down for renovations during the 80’s, and it never opened again. 56 years ago, the Biblical theme park was built in Waterbury Connecticut, it was a place for anyone to experience the sights of Jerusalem, the Garden of Eden, and Bethleem. This place falls into the “other” holy section… yes that one. Holy Land USA With a name like Holy Land USA, you would expect something a bit more…. It is not recognized by any other nation or government, and considering it has a constant population of 0, you can see why.ģ. Perhaps you have heard of the Principality of Sealand ? It is an unrecognized micronation that has claimed the Rough Tower Fort, and has been falsely labeled as the “smallest country in the world”. After that, some of the forts were the location of a few pirate radio stations, and after it was all said and done, the buildings were deemed unsafe and the general public has been severely restricted in visiting them. They were part of England’s defense system and served their purpose until the late 50’s. This is the oldest olympic village that has any hope of being restored to its former glory, but it will be an almost impossible feat since no one wants to donate money towards the cause.Ĥ.Maunsell Sea Forts These haunting sea forts are located in the Thames Estuary (where the river meets the sea) and were built during WW2. The people of Berlin want nothing to do with it, maybe because it is connected to WW2 or maybe because it was under soviet control for decades, there are certainly many factors at play here. The remains of the quarantine hospital still stand strong, but the island has been taken over by dense brush and wildlifeĥ.The 1936 Olympic Village Regarded as the most infamous Olympic games in history, the site of the 1936 “Nazi Games” in Berlin has been left to the elements. The most famous patient on the island is without a doubt Typhoid Mary, the first human in the US to be identified as an asymptomatic carrier of typhoid fever. The island has a long and sad history as a quarantine zone dating back to the 1880’s when a hospital dedicated to smallpox was built. ![]() It is located between the Bronx and Rikers Island, and it is definitely off limits.

Oblivion is now available for purchase in hardcover on Amazon. Every abandoned site is not just a crumbling pile of materials, but an intersection of fortuitous events, characters, choices, and so many other things that led those places to fall into their current state.” Life is transformation, and loss can be a gateway to change or even opportunity. “The dualism in the book title reflects the moving and one-of-a-kind story of each place… Oblivion is a closer look at places that remind us that we don’t live in a vacuum and that nothing lasts forever. ![]() “One of the definitions of the word ‘Oblivion’ is the state of being unaware or unconscious of what is happening around one-the state of being abandoned or forgotten by the general public,” Robroek explains. The result of his efforts is 256 pages of powerful stories and visual imagery that remind us of these battered dwellings and allow us to appreciate them before they are truly lost. As part of his creative journey, the photographer delved deeper into the storied pasts of these haunting locations in an effort to understand how such magnificent edifices came to be so neglected.

Haruki Murakami is a Japanese novelist whose books sold record copies worldwide in 50 languages. Lastly, and often times most importantly, especially for memory reduction and therefore for speeding up the subsequent steps in your workflow, klib.data_cleaning() also optimizes the datatypes as we saw in the table above.If you are dealing with data where duplicates add value, consider setting drop_duplicates=False. drops duplicate rows: This is a straightforward drop of entirely duplicate rows.Other examples are “download_date” or indicator variables which are identical for all entries. This comes in handy when columns such as “year” are included while you’re just looking at a single year. removes single valued columns: As the name states, this removes columns in which each cell contains the same value.The default is to drop columns and rows with more than 90% of the values missing. dropping empty and virtually empty columns: You can use the parameters drop_threshold_cols and drop_threshold_rows to adjust the dropping to your needs.Some column name examples: Yards.Gained -> yards_gained PlayAttempted -> play_attempted Challenge.Replay -> challenge_replay This also checks for and fixes duplicate column names, which you sometimes get when reading data from a file. cleaning the column names: This unifies the column names by formatting them, splitting, among others, CamelCase into camel_case, removing special characters as well as leading and trailing white-spaces and formatting all column names to lowercase_and_underscore_separated.And I didn’t want to turn back on my faith in _cleaning() performs a number of steps, among them: And I refused to cross that line because there was no turning back. But I also was raised not to ever hit a woman. She would punch me, hit me, throw things at me. She could be very physically and verbally abusive to me. She was pretty vicious when she felt I crossed her. ![]() And, to be honest, I was always afraid of retaliation from her. But I truly believed that I could deal with this. "And when she brought home the stuff to do it, I threw it out. I thought about going to the police anyway, but I said to myself, ‘What could they really do?’ At that point, she hadn’t committed a crime. I told her if she tried this again, I would call the police, and I wasn’t screwing around here. "I thought I could control this, I could handle this. "I tried to convince myself that she was just overreacting," he continued. I drove off and threw them in the Dumpster somewhere." I asked, ‘What are you doing?’ She said, ‘I’m gonna go take care of it.' That’s when I blew up. No one in their right mind would commit such a heinous act. "She talked about it and would say, ‘I’m gonna kill that witch.’ I just thought it was talk. "The one thing that truly made me realize there was something wrong with her was when she brought insulin home to try to kill my first wife, my kids’ mother, because she had raised my child support a couple of years after she found out I’d gotten a different job," Jensen claimed.

![]() ![]() God gave His son, Jesus, to us as the most wonderful gift of courageous healing love we could receive. Cry out to Jehovah Rapha to forgive and heal all of your sins. “O Lord my God, I cried out to You for help, and You restored my health” ( Psalm 30:2 NLT). Through his son, Jesus, God has provided the final cure for spiritual, physical, and emotional sickness. Actually, it is His life to use for whatever purpose He wills it. I borrowed this prayer of Moses from Psalm 90:12, “Teach me to number my days, that I might present to you a heart of wisdom.” I thank God for delivering me from cancer. I want to be like that one leper who went back to Jesus to thank him. Risbud called, “Sheryl, I can’t believe it, there’s no more cancer!” Praise to Jehovah Rapha-my Healer. After six months of chemotherapy, two surgeries, side effects, and lots of prayer, my oncologist, Dr. All ten were healed, but only one went back and thanked Jesus for that healing. There were ten lepers who asked for healing. We prayed to God for my healing, if it was God’s will.ĭuring my season of cancer, I studied the healing of the ten lepers in Luke 17. The lymph node of my lower left eye-lid and the bone marrow of my right arm, shoulder, elbow and the femur of my left leg. This blood cancer showed up in five places in my body.

When we encounter disappointments, difficulties, or devastating disease, we can view them as opportunities to see how He heals. Trust means Total Reliance Under Stress and Trial. To trust God for healing means to rely totally on Him. The Hebrew root verb raphe (to heal) occurs approximately 70 times in the Old Testament. This healing not only comes in the physical sense but also in the moral and spiritual sense. The Hebrew phrase, translated, “the Lord Who heals” is Jehovah Rapha and reveals God’s ability to restore, to heal, and to cure. ![]() ![]() Examine highly nested blocks and consider exploding and purging them.

![]() Originally titled "Kari-gurashi no Arietti," the film was directed by Hiromasa Yonebayashi and lists Hayao Miyazaki as a screenplay writer as well. "The Secret World of Arrietty" is a Japanese film produced and released by Studio Ghibli, available for viewing in in both the English and Japanese language. The rest of the movie focuses on Arrietty as she struggles to control her curiosity about Shawn, while her family decides whether or not it's safe for them to remain in their home. Unfortunately, as the night ends, Arrietty and her father are spotted (again) by Shawn, who awakes in the middle of the night and sees the pair lifting a tissue from the box lying next to his bed. Arrietty sees the interior of the house for the first time, observing how her father scales massive "cliffs" and "ravines" (that are in fact the walls, counters, and spaces between items in the human household's kitchen). After Shawn's arrival, Arrietty's father decides that she should go with him into the human household as he looks for supplies the family can borrow. The tiny people call themselves "Borrowers," and just like in Norton's book, the family must sneak into human houses to find anything they need, from crumbs of sugar to tissue paper. Arrietty is one of the Clocks, a family of four-inch tall people who live within the walls of the country house. Almost immediately after arriving, Shawn spots the film's protagonist: Arrietty. The film opens by showing Shawn, a young, normal sized human boy, moving to a country house in Japan to rest due to health reasons. The film is based on one of English author Mary Norton's children's novels, which is titled "The Borrowers." The original story tells the tale of a family of tiny people due to their size, the only way for the tiny people to survive in a world that's so much bigger than them is to borrow small amounts of supplies from humans. ![]() |
