it was easy to learn and you could take breaks / come back whenever you wanted and not miss anything. that means there wasn't any need to continuously balance-patch the game. ![]() the focus was more on where to go and what weapons to switch to during fights rather than preciseliy lining up a cursor on someone's headĪlso there were no characters, no unlocks, no microtransactions. games were more about decisions and less about aim. and they were all actually different instead of just hitscan. You had to travel to get guns instead of just starting with them. That means the games had actual back-and-forth battles instead of the low-ttk sight-based gameplay that makes every modern shooter trash There were no headshots, and you could even get health and armor to stay alive longer The maps had multiple floors instead of just being flat and basicįast player movement and having to aim vertically + horizontally (instead of just horizontally) lowered everyone's accuracy, so you had even more opportunity to survive the first volley Weapons fire took time to travel from shooter to target, which means you had time to react to getting fired upon Problem is - adding in those hour-to-hour progression systems kinda ruins the idea of an area shooter. Too many good choices, and progression systems being so expected etc. Maybe this wont work with today's audience. This meant that the games had to focus on being SO GOOD minute to minute and second to second, that you came back playing anyway. There's no leveling or battlepass or anything. Strategy games have economy etc.īut, traditional arena games much nothing going for them in this aspect. ![]() This is where RPG games traditionally keep you hooked with leveling, character growth etc. Then, there's the hour to hour (or multiple hours). For a shooting game, that means the environment has to be fun to move around in the game must feel fair etc. Then, you have to make sure the game is fun minute to minute. If its a non-realtime strategy game or something else that's slower, you have to make sure the clicking and menus is satisfying etc. If its a shooting game, the movement and shooting has to feel good and fun for example. When making a game you have to make sure it's fun second to second. I've been in the games industry myself and a pretty common approach to game design that I heard come up often (I didn't work with game design at all however) was the following (roughly): Since so many good points have already been made in this thread, which I agree with, I'm gonna add a different point that's less succinct perhaps but well well. Movement in FPS games has subsumed a chunk of the games today, Battle Royales are getting long in the tooth, and while Extraction shooters could be the next big fad, it's yet to blow up like PUBG, let alone Fortnite.īut I want to hear from the folks here who were there back in the day playing these games at LAN parties or online with what they thought was a then blistering fast 200 ms ping: What made these games great? Did you prefer Quake, Unreal or something different like Tribes? And am I crazy for thinking these could come back? But if it doesn't show up then I'll have to assume the series is dead for now.Īnd if that happens then it's a damn shame because I think the FPS landscape is ripe for an arena shooter with proper big budget backing. I'm kinda holding out hope that the Unreal Tournament 3 X is still alive by getting it's own Steam page and non-leak unveiling today or at the PC Gaming Show this Sunday. It's a shame that Epic never gave the Unreal Tournament revival a legitimate chance, the servers of all the old games are shutdown and I can't even get the old games for some bot matches (legally) on Steam, or even the Epic Games Store! And after watching some folks gush about them, I kinda get why: But to say Halo is an arena shooter makes some people bristle. Granted, some elements carried over to Halo specifically: equal starts, weapon pickups, map control, and the ability to arch/ricochet your projectiles (grenades). After the recent scrubbing of Unreal Tournament 3 X's Steam Page, I've been on a YouTube binge on the series: Being born in 1995 I just missed the arena shooter craze, largely growing up with consoles and having my idea of an FPS tailored by Halo and Call of Duty.

![]() If possible, she should try to finish her homework before that time. Staying consistent day to day will allow her body to get into a regular wake/sleep rhythm.Īfter about 9 p.m., encourage your daughter to focus on calming activities. ![]() But the wake-up time should be within a two-hour window every day. It doesn't need to be exactly the same time. To help her sleep well consistently, your daughter should set a consistent wake-up time, and build her sleep schedule around it. That can make it much tougher to get up early again on Monday morning and can potentially make sleep problems worse. Although sleeping in may seem like a good idea, staying in bed until noon on Saturday throws a teen's circadian rhythm out of balance. One big barrier to good sleep for teens is the frequent wide variation between the times they get up on school days versus weekends. Getting a good night's sleep is a challenge for many teenagers, and lifestyle choices can have a dramatic impact on sleep. Instead of using melatonin - or trying other sleep medications - I recommend you and your daughter first consider why she is having trouble sleeping. Further study is needed to determine if taking melatonin during childhood or the teen years can have an impact on a person's sexual development. Melatonin levels have an impact on how the ovaries and testes function. It also plays a role in the way a person's body matures sexually. It is not known how common or severe these side effects might be in children.Īnother concern about using melatonin for children is that its effects on the body go beyond sleep. ![]() Less common side effects can include abdominal pain, mild anxiety, irritability, confusion and feelings of depression. The most common side effects from taking melatonin are daytime sleepiness, dizziness and headaches. Some research suggests that, in adults, melatonin supplements might be helpful in treating jet lag or reducing the time it takes to fall asleep. The levels of melatonin in your blood are highest just before you go to sleep. The release of melatonin is stimulated by darkness and suppressed by light. Melatonin appears to be linked to the body's sleep/wake cycle, or circadian rhythm. Melatonin is a hormone produced by your brain's pineal gland. Making lifestyle changes that can enhance healthy sleep is a better alternative for most people your daughter's age. Due to the lack of scientific evidence, and because of some potentially harmful side effects, melatonin is not recommended as a sleep aid for children and teens. Is it okay to give my teenage daughter melatonin to help her sleep better? I have read that it's a safe alternative to sleep medicines.Īlthough melatonin has been shown to be useful for treating sleep problems in adults, it has not been carefully studied in children. Melatonin Not Recommended for Children or Teens as Sleep Aid In June 2021, the Human Rights Watch named South Korea for leading in spycam usage for digital sex crimes. Many women and critics say that molka crimes and the lack of action taken towards them are a product of distorted gendered violence against women in South Korea and the flaws in the law enforcement system. ![]() Prosecution rates for molka crimes are low, and punishment through fines or jail time is weaker in practice than stated in South Korean law. Women overwhelmingly make up the majority of victims of molka crimes, while men make up the vast majority of perpetrators. South Korea's highly digitized society makes it easy to circulate molka footage and difficult to remove once it has been circulated.Īs the number of spy camera incidents has rapidly increased since 2011, molka crimes have become a prominent point of feminist protest and #MeToo in South Korea. 'Molka' can refer to both the actual cameras as well as the footage later posted online. The voyeuristic images and videos are sold online across various platforms, including popular social media sites like Twitter and Tumblr, without knowledge or consent of those on camera. In South Korea, spy cameras proliferated in the 2010s and are most commonly installed in small holes or cracks in walls in locations such as women's public restrooms and motel rooms. This makes the term denote prank and spy camera at the same time. The expression has been originated from the homonymous title of a Korean prank TV show, which existed from March 1991 to November 1992. Molka is an abbreviation of molrae-kamera ( Korean: 몰래카메라), which means a sneaky camera. Molka ( Korean: 몰카, ) is the Korean term for hidden cameras or miniature spy cameras secretly and illegally installed, often in order to capture voyeuristic images and videos. ![]() View of a motel room in South Korea, a possible location for spycams to be installed in order to obtain explicit footage ![]() ![]() In a two-page dissent, Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote that the stay was “unwise” and argued the administration should be allowed to end the policy. The asylum rule has been used by the Biden administration to expel migrant families and single adults, though not children traveling alone. Last month, Mexico began accepting Venezuelans who are expelled from the United States under Title 42, causing a sharp drop in Venezuelans seeking asylum at the US border. The ban has been unevenly enforced by nationality, falling largely on migrants from Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador - as well as Mexicans - because Mexico allows them to be returned from the United States. Title 42, which was instituted in March 2020 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, has been used to turn away almost 2.5 million migrants due to concerns over COVID-19. Migrants rush along the banks of the Rio Grande. In a separate case, a Louisiana federal judge blocked an initial order winding up Title 42 in May of this year following a lawsuit by 24 Republican state attorneys general who warned lifting the policy could spawn a surge of migrants that would overwhelm immigration resources. The administration is appealing that ruling to the New Orleans-based Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals and the case is still pending. “Today’s order gives Republicans in Congress plenty of time to move past political finger-pointing and join their Democratic colleagues in solving the challenge at our border by passing the comprehensive reform measures and delivering the additional funds for border security that President Biden has requested,” the press secretary concluded. However, Jean-Pierre added, “Title 42 is a public health measure, not an immigration enforcement measure, and it should not be extended indefinitely. To truly fix our broken immigration system, we need Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform measures like the ones President Biden proposed on his first day in office. “We will, of course, comply with the order and prepare for the Court’s review.” “The Supreme Court’s order today keeps the current Title 42 policy in place while the Court reviews the matter in 2023,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in an earlier statement. Los Angeles Times via Getty Imagesĭeparting the White House for a year-end vacation to the US Virgin Islands, Biden told reporters: “The court is not going to decide until June apparently, and in the meantime we have to enforce it, but I think it’s overdue. In a filing last week, the Justice Department argued that Title 42 had “outlived its public-health justification.” The Supreme Court ruled to keep Title 42 in place. The states argue that they should be able to step in on the grounds that the Biden administration abandoned its defense of the policy. In response to that lawsuit, Senior US District Judge Emmet Sullivan last month ordered Title 42 - which allows the summary expulsion of migrants on public health grounds without first hearing their asylum claims - ended on Dec. The issue that will come before the high court is a technical one: Whether the states had the right to intervene in a lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union and other organizations against the Biden administration on behalf of migrants. The court’s unsigned order extended a stay put in place by Chief Justice John Roberts last week and ordered time carved out this spring to hear the case brought by 19 Republican-led states. The Supreme Court blocked a lower court order Tuesday ending the Trump-era Title 42 health policy - setting up a complex legal battle that could take several months to resolve.

Will the Knights, however, be able to contain this Sooner offense, and will anyone be able to beat them twice? That continues to be the question. Kama Woodall pitched a full 11 innings and held the Michigan bats scoreless for six innings. Maddie Bejarano hit the game-tying run and the walk off to win it. They’ll have UCF, who took down Michigan twice in the regionals in two impressive wins, including an 11-inning thriller where we saw a hero emerge. Jocelyn Alo went 3 for 3 and smashed her 115th homer, and they did this all without their ace Jordy Bahl. ![]() A score like that seemed so uncharacteristic that of course they followed it up with a 20-0 run-rule win in the regional final - marking an NCAA record for largest win in tournament history. ![]() They did, however, feel the pressure in the regionals with just a 3-2 win over Texas A&M.

Even though most people know when their credentials are insecure, only a few people bother to do anything about it. While cybersecurity experts have found ways to tighten online privacy, most of the time the responsibility to keep data safe ultimately rests on people - and people are not very reliable. A study by the University of Cambridge compared two decades of proposals for alternatives to passwords, and each did worse than passwords on deployability - a measure of how easy it was for businesses to set them up.ĭespite their ease of use, passwords come with significant downsides: More than 80% of data breaches are the result of weak passwords. How do we make sure someone is who they say they are? To solve the issue, businesses turned to what Ziming Zhao, a computer-science professor at the University at Buffalo, told me was the simplest solution: text-based logins, or passwords. The birth of the internet posed an immediate problem for businesses hoping to operate online. Though we're nowhere close to an entirely password-free future, the system I tried is already a game changer. The FIDO solution is almost here, and I got to try it out for a few weeks. To solve the password problem, a coalition of some of the most influential tech firms, including Apple, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft, created the FIDO Alliance, which has spent the past decade working on a login system that would kill the archaic password once and for all. Last year alone, over 24 billion login credentials were exposed, an increase of 65% compared with 2020. These added complexities have done little to ward off break-ins. Given the fallibility of a string of letters, numbers, and characters, tech firms have layered a series of defenses on top of passwords since their introduction in the 1960s - from mandating the codes include both numbers and letters to adding a second authentication step, such as security questions. And Cybersecurity Ventures reports that 44 records are stolen from breaches every second. They're notoriously easy to crack: Microsoft reports nearly 1,287 password attacks every second, or about 111 million daily. I'm not alone: The average person has accumulated close to 100 passwords to access everything from their email inboxes and bank accounts to streaming services and their local café's membership program.ĭespite their abundance, passwords aren't a foolproof way to keep people's information safe. And I'm in.Īnd that's for just one account - I often have to repeat that process several times a day just to complete basic tasks. Confirm it's me with a six-digit code sent to my email or phone.

But offloading my memory to a password manager comes with its own set of problems as companies' sites keep layering in more security. Like many people, I gave up on trying to remember all my passwords years ago and handed over that responsibility to a password manager. And with password requirements that vary for each website, it's nearly impossible to keep everything straight. I'm juggling over 200 logins at this point just to access all my accounts and devices. ![]() Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders. ![]() Now you need to assign a key that you will need to press so others can hear you.You should now be in the Audio Input settings area, under the Transmission area make sure the Transmit drop down box is set to “Push to Talk”.Click the “Configure” option at the top, then click settings.To turn on push to talk for Mumble, follow these steps. ![]() If you leave push-to-talk off during a fleet op then you are likely to have some very frustrated Corp mates.

(It's more likely Derek has used two different pathways to maximize results. It is likely that the manufacturer has gone heavy on the cheap DMAE and cut back on the Alpha-GPC. While Alpha-GPC is a great nootropic, we don’t know why Gorilla Mind Rush contains both Alpha-GPC and DMAE. Alpha-GPC also supports brain cell health and development. It is much more effective and efficient at increasing acetylcholine than DMAE. The guy mentions that the source of caffeine already weighs less and acts like its a bad thing, however, we know that capsules have limited space, so what's actually going on here is that Derek has chosen a variant of caffeine which is smaller, to fit more active ingredients in the blend.)Īlpha-GPC – DOSE UNKNOWN (600mg aka max dosage, source below)Īlpha-GPC is another cholinergic.

History – Plans to canalise the Dordogne were never completed. Pontoon moorings have been established at the more important towns and villages on the river. It is to be noted that the possibility of mooring at most of the ‘quays’ indicated in the distance table depends on the state of the tides.
