![]() ![]() At a certain state, when you got tokens for gold, shards form salvage and cards for shards, the game felt ready for release. MM has developed from a pure and very, very good coregame into some complex system. If you are interested in the reasons for my thoughts free to continue: To make this clear: MM is not pw2 at all right now! In that case I hope the devs will be rewarded and see no need to go into p2w. In the worse case (which is still good), everything will stay as it is. I am not sure though if this will happen. More viewers on twitch, bigger tournaments, youtube. ![]() It is abloslutely worth it to be part of egames and I want it to be seen as such. I would be a bit proud to be a master player, when many other join :) But its not about why I am looking forward to it, but what I believe will change.Īt first a i hope that the playerbase and therefore attention for the game will increase. I think many players look forward to the release of a game they identify with. Originally posted by UncleOwnage:My question is, what do you and your friend think happens when we release? Maybe it was my fault for holding you in such high esteem, but at the time you seemed like a genuine bunch of guys just liking video games. ![]() At the time I was also ready, like I said many times, to pay even 15 euros for a single arena if it had the theme I wanted, because I actually thought you were good devs and wanted to give you more money than the initial 20 euros I'd spent.įast forward to today and I sure as hell won't be giving you even a single cent more than those 20 euros, and my opinion about you has changed completely and is very likely to never change again. Then the need for 2v2 was felt, and when that was released nothing else was needed. I only expected new cards, masters, and balance. I considered the core of the game to be finished in December of 2016 when I bought it. The irony is quite funny but at the same time, very sad. or were as happy about spending money as we'd like them to be. ![]() Originally posted by UncleOwnage: and while some claimed it seemed like a finished product, we could feel in our guts that we weren't ready to go for full release. I'm simply curious what your expectations are of the differences between the states. My question is, what do you and your friend think happens when we release? In addition, we are definitely considering the upcoming Discord launch a pre-amble to this - something that puts it somewhere closer to 1.0 than EA. Hence all the changes and new features coming during EA - we want a game that people can enjoy for a long time and are happy about spending money in, because it allows us to keep servicing our fans.īut to get back on track - we are getting extremely close to where we want the game to be and reaching a point where we feel it's time to release, so the current set time of early 2019 is much more certain than we've been earlier. Our numbers also showed that people weren't staying in the game as long as we'd hoped or were as happy about spending money as we'd like them to be.Īfter all, it has to be a sustainable business, and we didn't want to rush it out so it could fail and disappoint everyone who'd picked it up. There's a much longer story about how Minion Masters was conceived and the effects it's had on how we approached Early Access, but to make it short we pushed out the initial version very quickly, and while some claimed it seemed like a finished product, we could feel in our guts that we weren't ready to go for full release. It's a good question, given how we've moved the release date many times. ![]()

![]() ![]() Unfortunately iOS gets shafted in terms of ethical scanlation readers, their only option really is to read directly on MangaDex or use a publishers app. This “list” should contain four items: VIZ, CR, MANGA Plus, and Tachiyomi nothing else. If you’re going to push free manga readers (that aren’t provided by a major publisher), you must avoid the apps that are attempting to profit off legally grey (and depending on the source, completely illegal) scanlations. Tachiyomi is the most popular FOSS reader, containing extensions for all major manga sources, zero ads, and actually has the support of the manga reading community outside of Japan. All other Android manga readers pale in comparison. This was very obviously written by someone who has no experience with manga but instead did a quick search on the App Store and Google Play Store for apps for their “mangas.” VIZ and CR’s apps were included but the author failed to include MANGA Plus by SHUEISHA, additionally they chose to include several apps for reading scanlations that are both riddled with ads and contain micro-transactions without even a single reference to Tachiyomi. Of these choices, I suggest the last 3 (MangaKakalot, Manga Man, Manga Monster), but if MangaBAT can get it’s shit together then I would suggest that app. The design and layout is similar to many others, but the main difference is that this app has a good filtering for looking for manga. Manga Monster – The same price as Manga Man to remove adds, but from only spending a minute on the app, it seems like a good choice. Manga Man – the $10 cost to remove ads is too high, but other than that it’s a decent choice. MangaBAT – was a great app until two months ago and then it became trash that can’t load anything on the first try. Manga Zone – is like a carbon copy of Manga Reader. Another problem is the fact it’s subscription based to remove adds and costs $4 a month or $40 for a year. This Manga Reader is by for better than the above, the problem is that it’s only for webcomics even though it’s a ‘Manga’ app. by series title or by scanning issue barcodes.

For this one the ‘M’ for the app icon looks like it consists of 3 parts. Reviews Shop Support Keep track of your comic collection, just scan their barcodes partnered with Automatically download issue details and images Like creators, characters, cover art and preview art. The one where the ‘M’ is a complete letter is the one I’m talking about in above. Manga Reader – Yes there are two “Manga Reader” apps. Manga Reader – genre selection is like Crunchyroll’s, but unlike Crunchyroll it doesn’t look like a 5 year old made the app. That and from what I saw there is not many to search through in comparison to other manga apps. If you don’t know the name of the manga you’re looking, well, good luck finding it without a genre search. Viz Manga is trash you have to scroll through every manga to find the one you want or a new one. Crunchyroll’s manga app is a visual nightmare and there aren’t nearly enough search options for genre. ![]() ![]() ![]() We’re a remote-first company that cares deeply about DEI, impact, and giving back to our local communities.

Sing to make you feel better.” You know, when something happened and my mom would start singing a song and say, “Feel better, feel better through the music.” So, I guess the passion for singing came through the passion that I felt being healed through music from a very young age.ĭid you have any formal training or are you just naturally talented? And I was just always surrounded by music and always surrounded by the positive influence of, “Okay. We played so many CDs and 8-tracks to absolute death, to where they just stopped playing because we just wore them the hell out. Singing has always been my outlet since I was very, very young and I was raised around people who were always singing – more specifically the women in my life, like my grandmother and my mom were always singing. Where did your passion for singing come from? This is an opportunity for me to really just sit there, me and a piano, and to offer a real musical, heartfelt experience to everyone…just one-on-one right there with everyone. I love to have a setting where I get the opportunity to really connect on a more personal level, you know, in a way that you can’t really through a TV screen or when you’re performing to these big, full tracks that are more about the production than the connection with the music. The show at the Catalina is going to be very intimate. SL: I’ve been a big fan since American idol and, you know, and in the infamous words of Kahmora Hall, I was rooting for you on Queen of the Universe.Īda Vox: Thank you, baby. Get to know the person behind that amazing voice in our exclusive interview. We also put this talented singer to the test with a quick round of the Socialite Seven. We got the chance to talk to Ada about her journey from singing along to CDs with her mom in San Antonio, to the American Idol stage and her recent run on Queen of the Universe. After placing as runner-up on Queen of the Universe, Ada made plans to bring her music to the people, starting with a March 3rd performance at the Catalina Jazz Club in Los Angeles. He chose Vox because it is the Latin word for “voice” and singing was how he intended to make his name. When selecting his drag name, Adam chose Ada because he saw it as a simple way of creating something new without completely throwing out the old. Her renditions of “At Last” and “Open Arms” proved she was a force to be reckoned with. Ada was among the 14 queens competing to be Queen of the Universe and once again, while she didn’t take home the crown, she won our hearts. ![]() Ada auditioned for season 16, wowed the judges and made it to the Top 10, performing duets with Lea Michele and Patti LaBelle.

While you can’t fill and sign PDFs with Nitro Reader - this is, after all, a pared back version of Nitro's Pro PDF editor, with no OCR or the ability to insert, remove, and reorder pages) - it remains an excellent tool that will make everyday document-wrangling much easier. Touchscreen mode is especially nice for reading e-books, since you can flick the pages rather than scroll or click on a button. ![]() What makes this tool different is that it has a touchscreen mode that’s perfect if you’re working on a tablet. The Nitro PDF Reader is another powerful free PDF reader in the vein of Foxit Reader and Adobe Acrobat DC. Lacks advanced features found in Nitro Pro If you frequently need to print PDFs, Slim PDF is one of the fastest and most simple options available. It does a good job at this, though, leaving out the toolbars that can distract you from what you’re reading. On the other hand, if your needs are similarly simple, the free PDF reader might just be the solution for you.Īs a result, Slim PDF is truly just a PDF reader. While there is a menu option to convert a PDF to a Word document, doing this requires another software download. This application reads PDFs plain and simple, cut and dry. Nor will you find tools for signing, filling, commenting, or highlighting, let alone multiple reading modes. If you're looking for a PDF editor, you won't find it here. Slim PDF feather-light when it comes to features. You can search and rotate documents, but that’s about it.Īnd you have to go in knowing that. In our review, we called it "a sleek, minimalist PDF reader that only takes up a couple of megabytes on your hard drive." The downside to this small size is that Slim PDF is pretty basic. Plus, that means that it’s able to open and load your documents faster than most of its competitors. The software download is really small, so is the perfect choice if you’re limited by hard drive space. Slim PDF is the best free PDF reader if you’re looking for something incredibly lightweight. Note that with the software's latest update, Foxit seems to have removed its PDF virtual printer driver, meaning you can no longer use the software to create PDFs. There’s a Safe Reading mode that allows you to automatically disable Javascript embedded in downloaded PDFs. You can also merge or split PDFs by downloading free add-ons for the software.Īnother advantage to Foxit PDF Reader is that it offers security. Tools for editing, signing, highlighting, and commenting are fairly easy to access. That’s thanks to the fact that it uses the same ribbon-style menu as Microsoft Office. The software can be a little intimidating at first, but it’s relatively straightforward to navigate. The only thing that’s lacking in the free version is support for optical character recognition in scanned documents. Or, you can scan a document or image and turn it into a PDF using Foxit Reader. Integration with Microsoft Office allows you to easily turn documents you’re working on into PDFs. ![]() Read our full Adobe Acrobat Reader DC reviewįoxit PDF Reader is more than just a free PDF reader – you can also create PDFs from scratch using this software. If you can overlook this, it’s a great tool, but there are less obtrusive ones out there. Sadly, the adware side of things is pretty much everywhere: you get ‘try now’ buttons, you’re offered to use powerful tools but later are asked to pony up some cash in order to actually use them, there’s even a ‘7-day trial’ button. In our review, we reckoned that “Adobe Acrobat Reader DC is one of the best free PDF readers for anyone looking to view documents and manipulate them in some way.” It’s simple, easy to use, and comes with all the basic features you need to interact with PDF files. If it wasn’t for the latter, Acrobat Reader would be a decent addition to your software library. The second is to convince you to upgrade to the paid version of the software (which, you’ve guessed it, has many more features, including the ability to create and edit PDF files). The top PDF viewer is designed with two purposes in mind: the first is to enable you to read and interact with PDF files (including adding annotations and even signing a document). ![]() ![]() ![]() I think it's why they get such beautiful pictures.

SI keeps the cover photo a secret - even from the models - until less than 24 hours before it's revealed. She compared it to covers from the 1980s or '90s, when Elle Macpherson won her covers with a friendly, sun-loving look. The cover photo of Decker smiling in a yellow bikini is a departure from the more sultry look that SI had gone for the past few years, she said. The 22-year-old wife of tennis star Andy Roddick said being chosen for the front is "the news of a lifetime." NEW YORK - Model Brooklyn Decker landed the coveted Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover this year. ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s a dual 18650 device, fires up to 177W and features a smart charging feature if charged via USB cable it will balance charge the batteries meaning they will both charge at the same rate meaning both will be full at the same time, this is done via 2amp, usb type C fast charging So I recieved the mod in the blue colour with stainless steel personally I do prefer the black coloured mods although in no way does the SS look cheap or tacky and straight away you know the product feels and looks premium with its soft leathery grip. Unfortunately I’m not sure if it was a user error or a duff coil but after a day of heavy use the coil became very dry and spitty the flavour wasnt as great as I remembered either, which was a shame but from my previous review where the coil was fine it’s a very solid flavour some vape at 52W for me. I changed it up and put the DM 2 coil in 0.2ohm resistance rated 40-60W and found my sweet spot at 52W. I eventually found my sweet spot at 72W with the airlfow 1/4 closed this produced great flavour and cloud production. I started with the DM1 coil which is a 0.15ohm resistance rated at 60-80W as with all my testing I primed it with zeus juice and left it to saturate for a good 15 minutes, starting at a low 40W making my way up airlfow fully wide open, by the time I had reached 50W the flavour was there but it was very airy so I closed it down 1/4 and made my way up. Also it’s to improve heating speed therefore producing a more pleasant vaping experience, so far in my testing I’ve had no delay in button pressing to firing speed. The main difference between these and the old PNP coils is the large kidney shape cut outs on either side which allows the juice to saturate the cotton quicker and produce better flavour. So voopoo have released a new DM range of coils and this devices come with 1x DM1 0.15ohm coil rated between 60-80w and 1x DM2 0.2ohm coil rated between 40-60w. With these types of products I would suggest removing the pod over night or if being left for a period of time. This is another pod with a silicone bung filling port located on the bottom of the tank, another thing that worries me in these tanks and bottom fill is leaking issues, so far I havent had any leaking as such just mainly condensation on the bottom of pod and connection which can be wiped away. It’s also a 810 removable drip tip with double 0 rings unlike previous pnp tanks. This time the upgraded version is sat on a 510 connection which then screws onto the mod, this also has an adjustable airflow option meaning you can fine tune your vape, one thing to note is there is no stoppers on the airflow ring meaning it is possible it could move around quite easily when in the pocket. The tank is the same as the old PNP tank where by it has a magnetized bottom which securely sits in its housing. ![]() ![]() It’s also 5.5ml (2ml TPD) in capacity which is another upgrade on the 4.5ml of the pnp tank. Included in the kit is the new tank from Voopoo the TPP tank which is compatible with the new DM coils made for a better vaping experience,with richer flavour and denser clouds. Compatible with TPP pod, PnP pod range and also 510 connector atomisers.Balance charging – USB Type C – 2A charge rate. ![]() ![]() ![]() SQL Server 2022, released in 2022, adds improved analytics, disaster recovery (to Azure) the "Purview" unified data governance and management service, and plumbing improvements that make the database faster and more resilient.SQL Server 2019, released in 2019, adds Big Data Clusters, enhancements to the "Intelligent Database", enhanced monitoring features, updated developer experience, and updates/enhancements for Linux based installations.SQL Server 2017, released in 2017, adds Linux support for these Linux platforms: Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, Ubuntu & Docker Engine.SQL Server 2012, released in 2012, adds columnar in-memory storage aka xVelocity.SQL Server 2005, released in 2005, finishes the complete revision of the old Sybase code into Microsoft code.SQL Server 7.0 is released in 1998, marking the conversion of the source code from C to C++.SQL Server 6.0 is released in 1995, marking the end of collaboration with Sybase Sybase would continue developing their own variant of SQL Server, Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise, independently of Microsoft.SQL Server 4.2 for NT is released in 1993, marking the entry onto Windows NT.MS SQL Server for OS/2 began as a project to port Sybase SQL Server onto OS/2 in 1989, by Sybase, Ashton-Tate, and Microsoft.Its name is entirely descriptive, it being server software that responds to queries in the SQL language.

It’s once a year– the entire stadium participates, and the game means something. One of the reasons the White Out “works” is because everyone gets so excited. If last year’s Ohio State game was away or a noon kickoff, could the Nittany Lions have come back? Does a four-overtime victory against Michigan and “ The Catch” even happen without a White Out game under the lights? Allen Robinson’s famous catch that rocked a 2013 white out crowd. ![]() White Out games have been among the most important in recent Penn State football history. Unofficially, however, the second unspoken rule (that I thought was obvious but apparently not) is that the white out must be held in Beaver Stadium. There’s really only one “rule” for the White Out game: You have to wear white. James Franklin got so excited about how well the White Out worked against Ohio State last season that he started encouraging fans to wear white to practically every game from then on. The first stadium-wide white out happened in 2007 and since then, Penn State has hosted (usually) one White Out game each season, typically the most important game of the year against the biggest opponent, often at night. ![]() The first-attempt at a student section “White Out” in 2004.

Penn State football needed a boost in the early 2000s, and some smart marketing folks determined there would be more unity if everyone was wearing the same color. It’s also seen the creation of one of the most unique spectacles in college sports: the White Out.įeared among opponents and cherished by Penn Staters, the White Out game is an incredible tradition, but one we might lose if we keep staging these impromptu, pseudo-white outs.
