My friend pedro main character7/14/2023 It’s not that there’s no attempt at a story, the characters you kill are given backstories but the player’s character has very little to do with it. The fact is with the trailers and the surreal humor, I was expecting there to be at least an attempt at some story, and shockingly there’s almost none. Our main character wakes up with very little to say and a floating banana starts to impart the story to the player, as well as taking him through a rather minor but useful tutorial. My Friend Pedro starts with the player waking up in the aforementioned butcher shop’s basement. That’s more of a problem for My Friend Pedro as a whole, and we will talk about it in the gameplay section, but I was able to fly through My Friend Pedro in only five hours, and that’s kind of short overall, but we’ll get there. The boss fights are consistently the best parts of My Friend Pedro, and I would have loved to see more parts of the game exhibited by those areas in the game to change up the experience. It’s a strange, odd, and brilliant gameplay setup that only adds to the style of the game. The first major boss turns the game into a motorcycle racing game where the player can move backwards and forwards across multiple streets and then shoot enemies as they approach. Similarly, the game throws out a few other interesting techniques like skateboarding but they don’t stay around long enough to enjoy them.Ī better part of the experience is the boss encounters that change up the gameplay. ![]() There’s a point where you find a frying pan that you can kick in the air and shoot to hit enemies and while this does work perfectly, it’s only used a handful of times. My Friend Pedro has flashes of visually interesting and unique gameplay, but sadly these are only a few moments in the entire game. Of course, My Friend Pedro also does have some more visually appealing levels and while I don’t want to show everything here, there’s an outlandish attitude with the game that makes the player continue to play just to see what will happen next. While the game doesn’t have the best choice of locations, starting in a Butcher’s shop and then moving to an abandoned building, the action and experience make up for a weaker location choice at times. The amount of versatility in the motion creates a far more interesting look to My Friend Pedro and makes the game emulate many over-the-top action movies stunts. Players can make plans to stylishly move through the world, including wall jumping, rolling, twirling on the ground and in the air and even using a focus mode style control that allows players to spin in mid-air as they jump. The game offers gifs, which of course means we can see the game in action. Since the game is set up to be a side scroller, most enemies can be identified long before they are directly encountered. My Friend Pedro is set up to be a 2.5 shooter platformer, involving the player running through a level and shooting enemies that are waiting for him. ![]() With that said, let’s look at what My Friend Pedro is Graphics ![]() While there is a surreal experience to be had in My Friend Pedro, if you go in assuming a similar style to either Deadpool, the comic book character, or Deadpool, the movie character, you’ll likely be disappointed. Part of this was just the style of humor that this game seems to exude, and part of it is due to the trailers that My Friend Pedro had. I initially went into this game thinking it’ll be somewhat similar to Marvel’s character, Deadpool. Before we dive into the weird wild world of My Friend Pedro, I do want to clear up a misconception.

Journey to the savage planet length7/14/2023 ![]() It adopts the scanning system of No Man’s Sky, with which you catalogue the planet’s diverse and occasionally aggressive wildlife. Typhoon Studios borrows liberally from other games to construct Savage Planet’s toolset. If you are reading this a few months after the game came out, I hope these bugs have been squashed.Colourful environments, exploding animals and toothless satire … Journey to the Savage Planet. None of these problems are game-breaking or ruined my enjoyment of Savage Planet, but they did make the whole thing feel floppy and unfinished. Most annoying of all, some enemy weak points wouldn’t take damage when I shot them. I couldn’t use my scanner on one type of flying enemy. I once had a damage indicator pop up and never go away, until I restarted the game completely. Enemies sometimes would stop moving and wouldn’t take damage. No, the worst thing you will encounter in the Savage Planet is bugs. It turns out the worst part of this planet isn’t the giant frogs that slam you around or the weird tiger lizards that move fast. One boss fight toward the end had me zipping around, popping enemies and zooming to different platforms in a ballet of death and goo.Įven with a day one patch, the game sometimes breaks. Shooting stuff becomes more enjoyable when the game sets up cool areas that mix shooting and traversal. Some later enemies have armour you need to pop off using acid goo, but the combat never feels as exciting as moving around. You spend most combat encounters shooting enemies without needing to strategize. The goal is to survey the planet, find fuel and leave.Ĭombat doesn’t work as well as the traversal mechanics. ![]() Players explore the world, collect materials like carbon, return to their ship, use the 3D printer to build a weapon, suit upgrades, new gadgets and other bits of gear, then exit and explore some more. It establishes that your company is greedy and incompetent, which is a running theme throughout the game. ![]() Starting the player with basically nothing serves two purposes. You are sent to this strange planet with nothing but a spacesuit, a 3D printer, an AI assistant and a ship with no fuel for a return trip. Kindred boasts that it is the fourth-best intergalactic exploration company, which means they don’t have a lot of money. Your mission is to survey the planet and all of its creatures, plants, caves, and rivers. ![]() You are an explorer sent to a lush planet called AR-Y 26 by the crappy space company Kindred Aerospace. Journey To The Savage Planet is a game about exploration, adventure, and puzzle-solving that just so happens to include some crafting and shooting. And like those films, Savage Planet sometimes feels like a bit of a mess with annoying bugs and a story that never really goes anywhere. All of this wackiness makes Journey To The Savage Planet feel less like Star Wars or Mass Effect and more like a campy retro sci-fi film that would have been riffed on. You slap them, complete with a comedic thwack sound. Journey To The Savage Planet, a short new sci-fi first-person shooter, is, despite some flaws, wonderfully wacky.

Sacred fire quest7/13/2023 This heavily replayable aspect of the game is exactly why it's one of the more underrated roguelikes that needs more attention. ![]() ![]() Honestly, neither the combat or the act of unlocking characters in this roguelike is all that 'easy'. These location decisions matter, as a lot of the Across the Obelisk characters require players to interact, gather, or clear certain Map Nodes in specific areas before they're actually unlocked. RELATED: The Best Strategy Games On Xbox Game Pass (March 2023) Who knows if the map seen in the Wolf Wars trailer is only accessible during its story or if it'll be a permanent Act 2 option from that point on, but the fact of the matter is that there is a lot of content to comb through in this game. Now, there are plans for the 1.1 Version of the game to have two mini-zones, the full Black Forge (not just the gates seen in Heiner's unlock quest) and the Frozen Sewers where Zek is unlocked, but these are in Velkarath and Faeborg as sub-areas. They'll start in Senenthia, beat the Boss there, and have the option to travel to Velkarath, Aqurfall Marsh, or Faeborg next, clear that boss, and pick another of the three (now two) locations to go to, before finally ending up in The Void for the last act. In the initial full-release version of this fantastic roguelike Campaign, players cleared four maps per run out of a possible five. A General Pattern For Character Unlocksīefore diving in headfirst, let's talk a bit about how characters are unlocked in Across the Obelisk, in general. All the other characters in this game take a ton of effort to unlock, so let's go through one more time and make sure everything is as clear as possible. It's assumed that unlocking Yogger will be relatively easy and will just require following the Wolf Wars story, but that's a rarity. ![]() Players may remember Yogger as the optional 'boss' in the top path of the first map that serves as a decent entry-level skill check for new players. From the trailer, it seems like players will be using a couple of different wolf characters for specific fights, but the only 'confirmed' unlock so far is Yogger. Updated March 10th, 2023 by Jacob Buchalter: With the recent announcement of Across the Obelisk's first DLC expansion, The Wolf Wars, it seemed like an apt moment to go back and take a look at all the character unlocks. So, let's go over each character in Across the Obelisk, one by one, and detail how exactly they're unlocked. That said, four of them are unlocked by default and the remaining 12 take quite a bit of work (and problem-solving) in order to obtain. The playable characters, in particular, as a large aspect of Across the Obelisk's progression, as the game initially started with only a couple in Early Access, but has now grown into having 16 different playable characters total across four different Classes. RELATED: Beginner Tips For Yi Xian: The Cultivation Card Game ![]() While it's not as popular as something like Marvel Snap, it does have an absurdly dedicated player base. This roguelike deckbuilder has all the aspects that fans of the genre pine for such as a ton of variables, thousands of ways to build different decks, and a whole bunch of playable characters to unlock. Across the Obelisk, made by Dreamsite Games, has been out as a full-released game since August 2022, and the final product is incredibly well-received so far.

Adobe incopy new story7/13/2023 Imagine writing the content, not knowing how the texts will look in the design layout. The greatest advantage of InCopy is not in its features, but how seamlessly it works with InDesign and with Adobe’s Creative Cloud overall. The Layout view mode The benefits of InCopyĪdobe InCopy is designed for collaborative work. For people who are unaware, Adobe InDesign is a graphics layout editor used for creating visual and textual designs for magazines, flyers, etc. In other words, here how the content is presented matters a lot. A very handsome writer at Techcity Times □Īdobe InCopy is used to create written content for magazines, flyers, posters, cards, product packaging, promotional content, etc where the layout of the text and media is the main focus. Writers use these word processors to create content that focuses on what is presented rather than how it is presented. Here’s a quote from me to surmise the entire paragraph. These are meant to write the next bestseller novel or the article on how to handle two kids for someone’s mommy blogs. The layout is not the general focus for these programs and adding images or media files is a nightmare (especially Microsoft Word). ![]() Word processors like Microsoft Word or Google Docs are meant to write. And when it is, it surpasses all the other word processors in doing what it can do. InCopy shines when it is used with InDesign. But why is InCopy like that? It is because it’s not meant to be used independently. Typing in InCopy feels like I’m about to hack into some international bank’s mainframe. It is more akin to a word processor made in 2002. One look at the interface of InCopy and you’ll agree with me that it does not look like a great word processor. In a nutshell, this program is for writing content that aids visual media such as photos or artworks. Sounds confusing, right? This software is made for copywriters, column writers for magazines, products, and media writers who work in collaboration with designers. But before you prepare to download it and unleash the Tolkien inside it, there is a condition. Adobe InCopy is meant for writers, as it is a word processor. So to help you get rid of all the confusion about this program and why it even exists, here’s a detailed article. It is a word processor that is meant to be used with Adobe InDesign. A majority of their products are focused on visual creations i.e., photos and videos. Adobe has always focused on visual editing software such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, InDesign, Spark, etc. Notes can also be exported as Adobe portable document format (PDF) comments to improve collaboration.Perhaps one of the most confusing offerings in Adobe’s Creative Cloud is Adobe InCopy. There’s the ability to add comments to text, hide comments and filter them. InCopy 2.0 has a new text macro functionality for fast text substitution and replacement.įinally, an improved In-Line Notes feature is designed to facilitate the annotating and adding of comments to text. Tables can be created inside InCopy and InDesign and imported and exported from them. Palettes on the editing screen are now collapsible and customizable.Īs mentioned, there are new editing tools such as dynamic spell check and a built-in thesaurus. Also, menu functions are now mapped to the keyboard so that writers can more easily create, navigate and manage editorial documents without relying on the mouse. ![]() The galley view and layout view can open at the same time. This separation of form and content also allows InCopy to create editorial content that can be used for many different media types in any type of workflow, Adobe said.Ī new full text view within InCopy allows for the entire screen to be used when editing. ![]() Because InCopy and InDesign share the same XML support, stories created in InCopy can be imported directly into InDesign. ![]() It offers writers and editors the ability to create, import, edit and export stories in XML format. With version 2.0, XML content has become an integral part of cross-media workflows, according to Adobe.

Forge reactor meltdown7/13/2023 This is known as a nuclear chain reaction. ![]() A portion of these neutrons may be absorbed by other fissile atoms and trigger further fission events, which release more neutrons, and so on. The heavy nucleus splits into two or more lighter nuclei, (the fission products), releasing kinetic energy, gamma radiation, and free neutrons. When a large fissile atomic nucleus such as uranium-235, uranium-233, or plutonium-239 absorbs a neutron, it may undergo nuclear fission. In the early era of nuclear reactors (1940s), a reactor was known as a nuclear pile or atomic pile (so-called because the graphite moderator blocks of the first reactor to reach criticality were stacked in a pile). ![]() As of 2022, the International Atomic Energy Agency reports there are 422 nuclear power reactors and 223 nuclear research reactors in operation around the world. Some reactors are used to produce isotopes for medical and industrial use, or for production of weapons-grade plutonium. Nuclear generated steam in principle can be used for industrial process heat or for district heating. These either drive a ship's propellers or turn electrical generators' shafts. Heat from nuclear fission is passed to a working fluid (water or gas), which in turn runs through steam turbines.
