MORE ELABORATE STORY AND DEEPER CHARACTERS: a vastly enriched storyline, hundreds of side-quests boasting over 30 completely new characters, each getting more attention than before with their own story to discover, as well as the return of a few familiar faces for fans of the series. ![]() EXPLORE THE OPEN WORLD: You'll explore the vast deserts surrounding Sandrock, diving into ruins to find ancient relics from the Old World, facing the dangers of dungeons and their denizens, then return to your homestead with encumbering bags of treasure in tow. Key Features: CUSTOMIZE AND BUILD YOUR WORKSHOP: You'll have an intricate set of machines that all work together to produce parts of huge structures for the town that you assemble piece by piece, or head to your worktable to craft hundreds of unique items that can help out individual townspeople or be placed throughout your own homestead. It's up to you and your trusty toolset to gather resources, build machines, and fix up your workshop into a well-oiled production machine, and save the town from the jaws of economic ruin, as well as a few other unexpected complications. You'll take a job offer in the city-state of Sandrock, assume the role of a fledgling Builder being sent to a wild and rugged townscape. It's up to My Time at Sandrock-Just like My Time at Portia, takes place in a wholesome post-apocalyptic world around 300 years after the Day of Calamity. Summary: My Time at Sandrock-Just like My Time at Portia, takes place in a wholesome post-apocalyptic world around 300 years after the Day of Calamity.My Time at Sandrock is currently in Early Access on Steam and scheduled for release on May 26, 2022. It’s a little rough around the edges right now, and you can spare yourselves these larger headaches by waiting a touch longer. Some text hasn’t been translated or edited (I’m looking at you “cancle!”), and controller support hasn’t been fully integrated. Task manager was the only way I could shutdown and restart the game. There are glitched quests in which the 3D models freeze or don’t load correctly. My preview is based on the alpha state of the game, which hasn’t been the smoothest ride. If you do decide to hop into My Time at Sandrock, I recommend holding out for the official release. Maybe someone else will mosey into Sandrock the further I get into the story. They are my top two marriage contenders at the moment. ![]() Right now, I’m building up relationship points with Heidi, the town architect, and the owner of the town’s inn, Owen. Gift-giving and successfully completing commissions are the best ways to earn points. ![]() While not every person in town can be wooed, you’ll want to boost friendship levels. When you aren’t searching for supplies, fighting monsters, or building up your workshop, there’s time to get to know your neighbours and pursue romantic entanglements. This desert town relies on regular train deliveries from other cities in order to survive. Most notably is Sandrock’s location within the world. But while much of the game plays and looks the same, there are some very important differences. From the aesthetics to the assembly platform, your Builder moves and interacts with the world in almost the same way as in Portia. Right off the train, My Time at Sandrock oozes familiarity. Turns out that both games practically share a timeline. What’s even better is that you don’t need to have played My Time at Portia. One I tripped into was My Time at Portia, and the sequel My Time at Sandrock looks to be another fun adventure for people who enjoy losing track of time. I’ve fallen down this particular rabbit hole a few times. Whether your first experience with the genre was Story of Seasons or Stardew Valley, you might be one of the millions of people addicted to these sorts adventures. The market for role-playing life sims is huge. ![]()

![]() While this may be technically true, it requires game designers to make a targeted effort to run on Metal. However, Apple has yet to add support for VAs or BDAs, insisting that existing argument buffer support is sufficient for what games want to do. According to Vulkan, their buffer device address (BDA) extension allows for the creation of complex data structures required for ray tracing, and useful for DirectX 12 porting. This limitation means CrossOver Mac can't support Tier 2 binding and therefore a lot of DirectX 12 games will not run.Īnother problem is that DirectX 12 uses GPU virtual addresses (VAs) to refer to resources for several things most significantly ray tracing. Metal’s limit of half a million is sufficient for Vulkan descriptor indexing, but not for D3D12. Metal only supports about 500,000 resources per argument buffer, so Tier 2 resource binding isn’t possible. Access to that many SRVs requires resource binding at the Tier 2 level. Generally, games need access to at least one million shader resource views (SRVs). Specific to DirectX 12 and Metal, there is an issue with limits on resources. In general, Metal does tessellation differently, and is missing geometry shaders and transform feedback.

In either unusually strong or weak years, often times most lists are too much the same. With a respectable body count, a bunch of scares, and some stellar performances, The Crazies kicked ass on the horror front.Įdge of Darkness // When compiling a year end list, I like to shift my true order around just a touch to highlight some films that might otherwise get ignored. Taking a middling old film and remaking it with Timothy Olyphant, however, will always get my attention, because I love Olyphant. What I’m not a huge fan of, though, is George Romero. The Crazies // Everyone knows I have a soft spot for horror and at least a tolerance for remakes. Do yourself a favor and find this sleeper on home video. Detailing the rise of internet commerce on the back of a porno inspired idea from a couple of functioning morons, Middle Men mixes boobs with mob violence and plenty of humor. Middle Men // A little seen, inspired by true events film carried by the charisma of star Luke Wilson. With a great turn behind the camera and an equally impressive one in front of it, Affleck helmed a movie that merged family, crime, shoot-outs, Boston accents, and creepy nun masks to great effect. The Town // There have only been two years when the name Ben Affleck didn’t merit chuckling: 19. Mere hours after seeing the film, I purchased the graphic novels, which were good – but the film managed to improve upon several aspects. I walked into it knowing nothing about the property and expecting very little but within the first action scene I was treated to a fun movie with great action scenes that still managed to ratchet up a body count.

And while I’m a massive fan of my own perspective and opinions, I’m an even bigger fan of the writing and ever-diverse tastes of the Film School Rejects reviewing staff. As I expressed earlier in the week as our 2010 Year in Review began, I take it as a great honor that I am able to put together my list of the Best Films of the Year as part of my Editor’s Picks entry. ![]() ![]() ![]() Historically, the Death’s Head, just like the Grim Reaper, came to be intricately associated with death in the Middle Ages and was often etched on most tombstones as a memento mori.įrom the 14th to 15th centuries, the symbol was used to denote poisonous substances which strengthened its association with death. The symbol, consisting of a human skull and two crossed femurs, has long been associated with death, poison and pirates. The skull and crossbones is a popular symbol that represents death. The Death’s Head (Skull and the Crossbones) In German folklore, on the other hand, the raven is symbolic of damned souls, and in Greek mythology, the raven is the messenger of Apollo and is associated with bad luck. ![]() In Swedish folklore, the raven is intricately linked to the ghosts or wraiths of murdered people who were not accorded any proper Christian burial. It didn’t help the raven when literature often portrayed it as a symbol of evil and death – think The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe. The raven’s black feathers and croak have made it stand out as a harbinger of death. The raven is typically associated with ill omen, loss, and even death. And thus, vultures and death have come to be intricately associated with each other in many cultures. There is so much truth in the saying that where there is a kettle of vultures, death may not be far behind. The Mayans, for example, viewed the symbol of the vulture as expressive of the transition of the dead to a new life. The creature is known for feeding off carrion. The vulture is truly symbolic of death because where there is a vulture, there usually is death. Other cultures, however, associate black butterflies with witchcraft. Moreover, a black butterfly or moth inside one’s room or house might be indicative of the death of a beloved.Īdditionally, some Celtic and Irish myths included a belief in black butterflies as representations of the souls of the dead who couldn’t move on to the next life. This belief is so common in countries like China, the Philippines, and some Central and South American countries.Ī black butterfly dabbling around or on your skin may be indicative of the death of a dear one. In many cultures, the appearance of a black butterfly is ominous and bears a cryptic message of misfortune and death. Black Butterflyīutterflies usually come in various colors, but seeing black butterflies are rather rare. Today, however, the cross is the most recognized symbol in the world. The Romans also employed various ways of punishing criminals including stoning, strangling, and burning criminals.īut it was the crucifixion that readily sent a more menacing message to criminals and outlaws within the Roman Empire. The Romans, for example, made use of it to crucify their criminals and outlaws. Yet, prior to Christianity, the cross had been an infamous symbol of torture, execution, and death. The Crossįor Christians, the crossmay signify eternal life and salvation. Moreover, its scythe symbolizes the harvesting of the dead and the reaping of their souls. The Grim Reaper’s skeletal figure is indicative of decay and death, while its hooded black robe is symbolic of the religious men who conducted funeral services during those times. It wasn’t surprising, therefore, why the Grim Reaper-that typified the Black Death-is such a ghastly and terrifying symbol. The Black Death brought widespread mourning and death across Europe. This frightful symbol is of European origin, dating back to the Black Death of the 14 th century. The Grim Reaper is the most horrifying symbol of death, characterized by a skeletal figure, cloaked in a hooded black robe, with a scythe in one hand. With that said, let’s take a closer look at 12 symbols of death, gleaned from the different cultures around the world. Each of these symbols may differ from one another yet, yet collectively, they provide insights into the very meaning of death. There are hundreds of symbols representing death or acting as harbingers of death. Almost every culture has tried to understand and represent death, and when words fail, symbols take precedence. Throughout the ages, the human mind has tried to grapple with and make sense of death. ![]() ![]() A pledge to try and be strong of heart for love and a testimony to courage, it’s been going strong among the top country funeral songs, for more than a decade. It’s written from the view of a soldier who knows that, one day, he may not come back, and about friendships that will keep his memory alive. It’s hard to stop your eyes from welling up, even though the lyrics of this heartstrings-tugger say: “Don’t waste your tears on me.” It took on new and poignant meaning for Americans in the aftermath of 9/11 and continues to touch the hearts of the bereaved. What would you wish for, if money could buy anything and dreams could come true? Would just one more day, to say and do the things you wanted to with a loved one, fulfil the yearning?Īfter losing someone you love, it may be easy to identify with the sentiment of these lyrics, which were initially written as a love song. ![]() Inspired by the deaths of two significant people in his life, Vince was visibly emotional when he performed it to honour legendary golfer Arnold Palmer at his funeral in 2016. Go Rest High On That Mountain – Vince Gillīittersweet, uncomplicated and soulful, it’s hard to hold back the tears when this enduring country ballad is played – especially at a funeral. Parting hurts all the more for the wonderful times we had, but that we would never wish away. ![]() It looks back on a moment in time which was beautiful and perfect. This moving song holds special meaning to people for all sorts of reasons and is an especially poignant modern country funeral song. This song evokes just how it is to miss someone – and how the things you wish you could share together, make you think about just what they’d do and say. What’s the difference between a beautiful day and a perfect day? When that someone, with whom it would have felt so right to share it with, is no longer there with you. It’s been among the top country songs for funerals ever since. Written by George Teren and Rivers Rutherford, it has sold over a million copies since Brad Paisley and Dolly Parton made it a Billboard Hot 100 hit, in 2005. ![]() This beautiful song was inspired by a preacher’s description of Heaven – a safe place filled with love and light, far away from life’s pain and struggles. When I Get Where I’m Going – Brad Paisley with Dolly Parton Playing straight to the heart and expressing feelings it can be too hard, too soon, or too painful to share, these 10 hits about love, life and loss are among America’s most popular country funeral songs. Tearjerkers and even break-up songs feature among the top country songs for funerals, with lyrics that take on special meaning when someone we love dies. “You’re safely home in the arms of Jesus / Eternal life, my brother’s found / The day will come I know I’ll see him / In that sacred place, on that holy ground.Uplifting, sad, poignant or raw, so many country classics may not have been written as music for funerals, but make beautiful funeral songs all the same.

New Version of “Go Rest High on That Mountain” with Added Verse ![]() ![]() ![]() To create that type of edge will necessarily scratch up the blade surface and we lack the machinery and time to provide a full re-polishing of a blade’s surface. The service will not provide a completely bevel-less edge. In other words, we intend to provide you with a serviceable weapon, not a personal grooming implement. Our goal is to provide you with a usable edge for cutting practice that will hold up to some use and not require constant re-sharpening. The resulting edge will be “sword sharp” not razor sharp. Our sword sharpening expert has personally sharpened several thousand swords at this point, so will provide you with a professional service. We can sharpen only the last half or third of an edge, for example. If you have a different preference, feel free to make that request in the special instructions at check out. By default we will sharpen as much of the blade as possible including any false edges if appropriate. The blades are rested between passes to prevent them from becoming hot and damaging their temper. The process involves many passes with sanding belts of various grits. The sharpening service is done with a belt sander. We adjust the angle of the edge to suit the specific blade and attempt to get as close to a bevel-less edge as possible without marring the surface of the blade. Some blades will take and hold sharper edges than others and the thickness of the blade will determine how wide the bevel will need to be. The resulting edge is somewhat dependent on the particular blade. ![]() The result is typically “very sharp” with a small secondary bevel and a bit of an “apple seed” profile. Our sharpening service will provide a good serviceable edge on the blade. Consider this as a general guideline only. The Edge ratings in particular are somewhat subjective and each blade can vary. This info is provided to give you a good idea of the product being presented, the one you receive may vary from the specific one we took measurements of. Please note: Due to the hand made nature of these items, all specs should be considered as approximates. However for reasons we won’t get into here, this is not the case. A common misconception is that swords should all be “razor sharp”. Moderately Sharp is close, but may need to be touched up to get the best performance. Possible values could be “Rebated” meaning the edge is intentionally thickened for safety, “Blunt” meaning the edge is fairly thick with little to no taper, ‘Unsharpened” which would taper to the edge but stop short of having any real cutting ability, “Slightly Sharp, Moderately Sharp, Sharp, or Very Sharp” Sharp or Very Sharp are considered good for cutting swords. The “Edge” spec will tell you about how sharp a blade is. A very high POB will result in a sword that feels heavier than it actually is and is difficult to wield. In general, a low POB results in good point control well suited to a thrusting blade, while a higher POB adds impact to a cleaving blade. A POB of 3”- 5” usually results in a well balanced sword, but does depend on the type of sword. In practice however, there are many reasons why you may not want this for a particular sword. In theory a sword with a POB of 0” is perfectly balanced. A number of 0” would balance exactly at the guard, while a negative number will have a POB in the hilt itself. It refers to the point on the blade where the sword achieves a perfect balance. ![]() stands for Point Of Balance, this is measured in inches from the hilt down the blade. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The karts in your game will have the ability to be personalized with the help of propellers in the water.The racing gameplay of this game will be developed according to the familiar features in the series launched with success before.The game will be designed according to the familiar kart racing genre but combined with many newly changed and added extremely attractive features.The tracks will be carefully combined with the visual parts that players experience to create extremely engaging, realistic racing experiences. ![]() The game will present you with sixteen newly composed tracks along with sixteen redesigned “classic” tracks from previous plays.

Inside the game, you will be able to use power-ups that appear unexpectedly on the track to support your character or can interfere with rival cars.

Throughout this program, 3-5 times a week your assignment is to run 1-2 miles as fast as possible. But here's one thing you'll be doing for these eight weeks that definitely isn't on the menu for Mass: running. The schedule for The Blueprint to Cut is different than The Blueprint to Mass, but the muscle groupings are pretty familiar. No, it won't always feel like "fun," but on the other hand, there's a reason that hundreds of thousands of readers have sworn by this program over the years. That means your goal of getting cut has to determine how you approach your nutrition, sleep, any supplements you take, and how you schedule your day for the next eight weeks. It can work for you, but only if you truly love intense training and are willing to prioritize it. However, it's worth emphasizing on the front end that this is a serious program for serious lifters. That said, on many days you'll just be working small muscle groups like arms or shoulders, so not every day is a bloodbath. You're looking at just one rest day a week throughout the program, so expect to work hard. Here's how your split will look in Phase 2: You'll get plenty in Phase 2, and your body's recovery ability will already be tested throughout by the added volume and intensity techniques. You can add a little if you feel you must, but it's not necessary, so keep it minimal and really consider leaving it out as recommended. That's right: There's no programmed ab training for the first four weeks of the program. When you jump into Week 1, you'll quickly notice something missing. Here's how your split will look for the first four weeks, or Phase 1: This is how many of the golden-age greats did it, and it works just as well today. If you find you're having trouble fitting all the volume into your customary workout time, consider trying two-a-day workouts, where you train the big-gun muscles during the morning or early in the day, and do detail work like calves, abs, and arms at night. Your eight weeks of training will be split into two four-week phases. One glance in the mirror during Week 8, and it will all make sense. If you loved The Blueprint to Mass but haven't done the Cut yet, you'll feel right at home here, and you'll get results that enhance everything else you've been doing in the gym for the last few years. Not only can you track your workouts, weights, and rest periods, you can also swap out lifts to match your equipment, and even watch demonstration videos of every movement in every workout from BodyFit's new and improved exercise database. ![]() If you're one of the millions of people who have already followed this program and just want to dive back in, you can follow the full Blueprint to Cut in BodyFit Elite.
