![]() Many of these once-glorious palaces built for the King of Kings became hollow shells, echoing with the choirs and prayers of yesteryear’s fervent and devout faithful. Years back, while still living in Chicago, it used to break my heart every time another Catholic church was closed and shuttered. The sad thing today about many of these neighborhoods is that they have only gotten worse. Many immigrants went on to thrive and become self-sustaining for themselves and the families many chose to raise. Settlement houses which taught immigrants English, basic trade skills, and home economics were also a beehive of activity. Like Chicago, many were ethnic enclaves where many Catholic faithful of mostly European backgrounds settled and built their communities around a Catholic parish. ![]() Many of these poor neighborhoods were once economically viable places, often built by pioneers to the west, some settling in the Midwest instead of traveling further. It seems like at least twice a day, one will unavoidably drive down the street or visit a gas station and smell the pungent stench of marijuana, which overwhelms you. Many of these establishment also sell popular marijuana-based oils and other products to the many addicts out there. I thought Chicago had way too many liquor stores, but in all of Omaha, liquor stores, and gas stations that sell liquor, abound all around. At winter, I’m told, the violence decreases because of Nebraska’s brutal cold weather, but I also hear that come summer, bullets will be flying from all directions. In my many years of working in communities in many cities across America, I’ve never seen as many homeless drug addicts as I see in the North Omaha area. The blight, homelessness, and despair are truly a sad thing to witness. The North Omaha area reminds of the generational blighted areas like Chicago’s west side, where less educated impoverished people tended to flock to, often lacking economic and employment opportunities. I don’t know whether or not Omaha ever had a black community like these, however. Many neighborhoods like Chicago’s Hyde Park and Bronzeville thrived, and continue to thrive today with black Americans who pursued higher education and economic opportunities. There is one great place I’ve visited a few times with my four sons called Hollywood Candy, a place that would give Willie Wonka’s Chocolate Factory a run for its money.Īs happened historically with most Midwestern urban areas, there took place the great migration to the north when slaves were freed. There are, however, a few gift stores featuring every kind of kitschy pop culture antique and collectible one could ever imagine. ![]() The Old Market area, along with nightlife in the Dundee neighborhood, seems like a fun place for twenty-somethings, but as a family man my age, that’s no longer the kind of scene for me. The zoo was founded at the end of the nineteenth century, and now features thousands of animals from around the globe, 160 acres of exhibits and gardens, which include seven acres of indoor exhibits, so there should be plenty to interest anybody. The Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium is supposed to be second in the nation only to the San Diego Zoo, though I’ve yet to visit it with my sons. Like anywhere else, Omaha has its interesting parts, neighborhoods, and attractions. I challenge anyone to just drop everything for the love of marriage and family. I must admit it has been somewhat of a rough ride the past few years, and now I’m living in a town that I’d only visited twice before. At this point, it isn’t exactly my favorite place in the world, but my much-loved wife and children are here, and I would follow them to the ends of the Earth. I recently moved to Omaha, Neb., to be near my family.

The mass of either galaxy is difficult to estimate with any accuracy, but it was long thought that the Andromeda Galaxy was more massive than the Milky Way by a margin of some 25% to 50%. The virial mass of the Andromeda Galaxy is of the same order of magnitude as that of the Milky Way, at 1 trillion solar masses (2.0 ×10 42 kilograms). ![]() ![]() The galaxy's name stems from the area of Earth's sky in which it appears, the constellation of Andromeda, which itself is named after the princess who was the wife of Perseus in Greek mythology. The Andromeda Galaxy (IPA: / æ n ˈ d r ɒ m ɪ d ə/), also known as Messier 31, M31, or NGC 224 and originally the Andromeda Nebula, is a barred spiral galaxy with the diameter of about 46.56 kiloparsecs (152,000 light-years) approximately 765 kpc (2.5 million light-years) from Earth and the nearest large galaxy to the Milky Way.

As per the creator, the MSRP has been slashed after witnessing poor demand for the RTX 4070. According to YouTuber RedGamingTech, the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti may get a price of just $399. However, what may come as a delight to buyers is the rumored price. Notably, NVIDIA is still sticking to the same PG190 board for the RTX 4060 Ti as the previous generation, which may, paired with the lower TGP, suggest minor performance improvements. The RTX 4060 Ti is rumored to be rated at 160W in terms of TDP, as per leaker leading to significantly lower than the RTX 3060 Ti. The GPU is also said to feature a 32MG L2 cache, which is the same as the laptop version of the RTX 4060. The card has a rumored speed of 18Gbps and a 288GB/s bandwidth over a 128-bit wide bus. It reportedly uses NVIDIA's Ada Lovelace architecture and utilizes 4352 CUDA cores, with an 8GB GDDR6 video memory. The rumored specifications of the NVIDIA GeForce 4060 Ti first surfaced online in December last year, suggesting a minor upgrade over the predecessor, RTX 3060 Ti.

Palette swapping may be a shortcut, but it does allow designers to create enemies that keep pace with the player's progress while still hinting that the enemies will follow a familiar pattern. Individual characters may also have a choice of several different colors or costumes (or both).Ĭaution: Tropes Are Tools. Such characters are also known as "clones". Some fans of fighting games use the term to refer to characters that use the same animations and move sets, even if the characters look very different. Sometimes even bosses are simply re-textured and are huge versions of weaker monsters. Palette Swap to the rescue! By changing the size and textures used on the same model, the designers can make many types of monsters from only a few basic meshes. Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Games ( MMORPGs) are often set in a very large world that must be populated by monsters. ![]() The Head Swap is another tried-and-true technique for making more out of less. While the concept is a little different, these are often called Palette Swaps anyway as they're still easier for developers to make than a full-fledged alternate costume or character. The most famous group of these are probably the Slimes, topped by the powerful Metal Slime, of Dragon Quest fame.Ī more elaborate variation found in 3D games is the Texture Swap, where the textures on the character's uniform are changed, but the actual model used remains the same. Palette Swapping was used to create a large variety of different enemies, often using different colors for various power levels. In the 8- and 16-bit era RPGs, it was pervasive: because of console limitations, disk and screen space were serious concerns. In fighting games, this is commonly used to differentiate players using the same character, but it is also employed to create "new" characters. This is seen in some platformers, but it most often appears in Role Playing Games and Fighting Games. One cost-effective method for increasing the variety of game characters is to reuse the same sprite, but using a different color palette. Obviously, the air shock offers the advantages of being lighter and easier to tune, so this will be the right choice for the majority of riders.In 2D game development, the creation of sprites is labor-intensive. These aren't huge differences, but they are enough that we wanted to offer both. If you set the air shock up to offer a similar feel in the mid-stroke, you may struggle to achieve full travel. If you like a firmer feel, you will probably prefer the coil. This offers the maximum mid-stroke support for berms/park riding/ pushing into turns. The coil has a slightly more linear feel/ less bottom-out resistance, which encourages a firmer overall setup. The suspension will also have a "poppier" and more playful ride, as the air shock will try to get you out of the deep part of travel. This will generally offer a smoother ride, but one that can still be ridden very aggressively and not struggle. The air shock is more progressive than the coil, which allows for a slightly softer setup without worrying about bottoming-out. There is a difference in feel between the two, but neither is better than the other- just different.

I'll play more of it once I get a chance.Īs far as hexagonal maps go, that's actually very common in "wargame"-style games: most "military" games feature those I believe. It's not amazing, but it's entertaining enough and it's really polished. That one is more traditional with squares, but it has a distinct "puzzle" feel compared to most SRPGs. It does look kind of appealing though on Android, since it's one of the rare "no bullshit" game on there.Īnyway, I did play some of Spaceland on Apple Arcade (their next title, I think it just came out on Switch). I do have Braveland Wizard on my Android wishlist, but I haven't bought it quite yet: I'll likely have to change phone soon, and the save file wouldn't carry over (no cloud save on this one) so no point in starting it just yet. Say what you will about the simplicity of the games, I probably agree, but I have plenty of super promising or beloved SRPG games in my library that I haven't touched yet. At least one of the later games has some challenging optional battles, but I love to grind and experiment and I feel like the money and other progression systems don't lend themselves to exploration much at all.Īnother important note: I've played through all of them, and the first one I played on PC and switch. There's basically nothing to do outside of a fairly-linear sequence of battles. Least favorite thing: my biggest complaint is that there's not a lot of replay value. I like to have games to play that are more relaxing sometimes so I can watch or listen to something while I play, and there are not very many turn-based tactics games that fit that bill. They do scratch the strategy itch.įavorite thing: overall, they're casual enough that they don't require a huge mental commitment. My overall opinion is that they're well-done, but they're pretty casual and limited in depth.

Thankfully, OlliOlli 2 doesn’t demand that of you initially. You’ll also be required to use perfectly timed tricks off ramps to boost to the next section… or wind up broken and battered on the spikes below. Once you’re a chunk of the way through the career mode, you’ll come across grind sequences that aren’t possible to beat unless you nail the timing, or score goals that require switching grinds on the fly – which is only possible with a perfectly timed initial grind. Perfect ratings mean a faster-climbing multiplier for trick combos, but they also factor into the level design in a pretty major way. Grinds are a little looser to execute, only requiring holding in one of four directions (again, potentially with one or more shoulder buttons as modifiers), but the same timing applies: move and hold the analogue stick at the last second and you’ll get a perfect rating, this time accompanied by green sparks and a speed boost. ![]() Tap X (or X and left or right for a manual) just before you hit the ground and you’ll be awarded a ‘perfect’ landing. The innovation is that you need to catch the trick to land it, and the later you catch it, the better the rating you get – from sloppy to perfect. The former are triggered with a flick or swirl of the left analogue stick (potentially with a shoulder button held down if it’s particularly complex). Forget steering: this is a left-to-right stream of skating consciousness, where you’re flowing gracefully from one mini set piece to the next, attempting to commune with the clever level design and trick mechanics.įlip tricks and grinds are the main tools of your trade. It works in much the same way, letting you land in a manual out of any trick and thus keep your combo going, opening up the possibility of beating each level in a single monster trick.īluntslides are cool, but OlliOlli 2 introduces new tricks like darkslides.Įach of OlliOlli 2’s levels are short gauntlets, jam-packed with stair sets, rails, ramps, deadly obstacles and – in the case of the Titan Sky levels – towering robots, hovercars, and toxic ooze.

This can often result in mixed signals from your ex along with conflicting messages. Just because this person broke up with you doesn’t mean it made them happy to do so or that they wanted to.īreaking up with you might have caused them great pain because they still loved you when they did it. So rather than continue to get closer to you, they cut their losses so that you would not hurt them in the future. Your boyfriend or girlfriend believed that you didn’t truly love them and would not stay long term. Maybe a jealous ex-spouse was causing trouble and would always be in the picture. Maybe you didn’t want to have children ever but he/she did. – Your boyfriend or girlfriend came to the conclusion themselves that the future looked bleak for the relationship and even though they were in love with you, broke up with you thinking that eventually they would get over it and be glad they did. This is a case of mind or logic over feelings/heart. He/she then started to think that breaking up with you would hurt in the short term, but would be best for them in the long term. Over time, your ex started feeling worn down and considered that maybe the person of influence was correct. A parent (or someone your ex greatly respects) did not think you were good for your ex (the list of possible reasons is massive). Some Examples of How an Ex Can Break Up but Still Be in Love are: However, there are situations where breakups occur but none of those things are happening and there is no loss of love or attraction. One of those things are often enough to cause a loss of romantic love and/or attraction which will usually lead to a breakup if the person who feels it doesn’t see it ever improving. Most of the time, the reason they feel this is because the relationship has become boring, routine, stressful, unsafe, or one or both of you have changed. ![]() What we can know is that your ex broke up with you because they didn’t feel that a future with you was possible based on the current situation and whether or not they thought that situation would improve in the future.
