![]() (Yellow isn’t everyone’s favourite colour, but it’s a better fit for subtitles for those of us whose vision isn’t 20/20.) There is no English dub in Anime Limited’s Limited Edition – and I found the subtitles (white) difficult to read as they’re often set against a pale background. Sora Amamiya (Touka in Tokyo Ghoul) delivers a convincing portrayal of Isla, persuading us that she is not quite human and Yasuaki Takumi makes a likable, earnest Tsukasa, with Chinatsu Akasaki suitably volatile as tsundere redhead Chiharu. With another six episodes to go, it remains to be seen if Naotaka Hayashi and the creative team are able to supply satisfactory and believable answers within the parameters they’ve set up – or will the story remain a romantic drama playing at dressing up in the trappings of science fiction? ![]() We’ve been here before in anime, of course, especially with Chi and the other Persocoms in CLAMP’s Chobits (2000) which asks: can an android with artificial intelligence develop a will of its own? By the end of Episode 7, many questions have been raised about Giftias, what happens to them and their personalities/memories beyond their expiration date, not to mention the legal implications of their being party to their owners’ personal information (data breach!). Frequently switching straight to harem-style fan service hi-jinks after an emotional farewell scene might be director Yoshiyuki Fujiwara’s solution to diffusing dramatic tension but it often feels awkward and forced. Add in a tsundere red-haired female colleague who has secretly taken a liking to the newest recruit but can only express her feelings by constantly finding fault with him. Yet strip away the science fictional outer trappings from Plastic Memories and you find some familiar (and rather over-used) elements: ordinary but likable young man gets first job, is obliged to share lodgings with his female co-worker who just happens to be cute and pretty but also klutzy and unworldly. Given that the ‘original creator’ of this anime is by Naotaka Hayashi ( Steins Gate) we can be forgiven for expecting a storyline that challenges the viewer and asks some deep and disturbing questions about AI and humanity. Logic demands that we should at least understand that Souta is not being left to fend for himself at such a young age by the terminal service department – but no, all we see is a distraught child about to be separated from his only remaining ‘parent’, putting a totally different spin on the story. When Tsukasa and Isla are sent to bring back Marcia, to all intents and purposes the sole caretaker of an orphaned little boy called Souta, we are never told who is going to look after the child when Marcia is removed as the Giftia’s appointed time for retrieval approaches. The retrieval dealt with in Episodes 4 and 5 is a case in point. It’s one thing to drip-feed story-relevant facts as needed as the narrative progresses (and avoid clunky info-dumps), it’s another to withhold them and only reveal them when the plot can’t advance any further without hitting a wall. He also learns of the importance of recovering the Giftias before their expiry time is up – and what can go wrong if they evade retrieval.īy immersing the audience (and the somewhat oblivious Tsukasa) into the world of the Giftias straight away, Plastic Memories is not playing entirely fair with our expectations. He learns (the hard way) of the difficulties of his new job, of Isla’s original human partner and a disastrous mission that went wrong, leading to their break-up and Isla being put onto tea-making duties at the office, and that there are Black Market crooks out there trying to get their hands on the Giftias by pretending to be the official retrieval service. Tsukasa is eager to learn but is treated like the rookie he is by the team – and is overcome with embarrassment when he finds himself obliged to share accommodation with his Giftia partner (he’s only eighteen, after all). Tsukasa is partnered with reserved, lilac-haired Giftia Isla, and off they go on their first retrieval mission together. When young Tsukasa Mizugaki joins the SAI Corporation, he finds himself assigned to the terminal service department and joins the team working to recover the Giftias who are reaching their expiration date. Unfortunately, their lifespan is only 81,920 hours (roughly ‘nine years and four months’). ![]() In the not-too distant future, androids with personalities called ‘Giftias’ have become part of everyday life, acting as care-givers and companions. “…a story of meetings and partings.” (Naotaka Hayashi)

In fact, Path of Exile 2's closed beta will launch in June 2024, and that's still a ways off. As such, it's hard to see Path of Exile 2 as a clear "winner" between the two games from the get-go, especially because Diablo 4 will still have its own perks - not to mention that it will likely get an expansion by the time GGG's ARPG even starts its beta. However, if the original Path of Exile is anything to go by, the sequel will face the same issue as Diablo 4's Eternal and seasonal characters, with the latter being the only way to experience future seasons. The problem with Blizzard's approach, as lamented by players, is that Diablo 4's battle pass is quite lacking in its offering, and the seasonal additions are not compelling enough. Nevertheless, there's no indication just yet of how the title will handle its endgame sections and seasonal content, which historically takes the form of "Leagues" that run for three months, introducing a brand-new gameplay loop and exclusive rewards. Path of Exile 2's classes might have an advantage over Diablo 4 too, considering the former has a whopping total of 12 with three Ascendancy classes each, whereas the latter only has five. On paper, Path of Exile 2 might seem like it's topping Diablo 4 at every turn with a deeper customization process and a campaign that promises over a hundred unique bosses. Most likely, Diablo 4 and Path of Exile 2 will find themselves in the same boat, even in the face of their differences. The fact that Destiny 2 is still around is not a testament to the failures of all the games that should have been the end of it, but the fact that there's enough room in the gaming industry for multiple success stories - live service or not. RELATED: Diablo 4’s Loss Could Be a Huge Gain for Path of Exile 2 Path of Exile 2 and Diablo 4 Don't Have to be in Brutal Competition With One Another Bungie's space-magic looter-shooter didn't start with a seasonal model but rather leaned into it further down the line, and since then there have been multiple so-called Destiny 2 killers - yet, the game is still here, and it's likely the same will happen with Diablo 4 and Path of Exile 2. This concept is not new to video games, especially live-service ones, and one of the biggest examples to this day is Destiny 2. Diablo 4's Season of the Malignant highlighted underlying problems with the game and its balance, and with the hype train now riding for Path of Exile 2, some are already calling it the " Diablo 4 killer." Grinding Gear Games is well aware of the ups and downs of seasonal content and the live-service model as a whole, as it's the foundation of the original Path of Exile as well as something that's coming with its sequel, although it's unclear in what capacity just yet. ![]() With the recent release of new Path of Exile 2 footage and information surrounding the game's core mechanics, players were quick to spot the similarities and the differences with Diablo 4, whose stellar reception started crumbling with the launch of its first season. They can coexist and even influence each other's updates and mistakes. However, it's too early to determine a clear winner between the two games, as both may face challenges with seasonal content and endgame sections.Path of Exile 2 may have some advantages over Diablo 4, such as more customizable classes and a campaign with over a hundred unique bosses.Path of Exile 2 and Diablo 4 may seem like fierce competitors, but there is room in the gaming industry for multiple successful live-service games. ![]() WAKE COUNTY, N.C (WTVD) - Local and national law enforcement officials have a message for students as the new school year approaches: Think before you post. I forgot many of them, but the gems include "Do you have children?", to which I told them "no, I'm still a kid" and their response was "No, you do have children and they miss you." Another good one was "Are you afraid to die?" and when I said no without thinking because I was so unnerved they replied with "You should be.Local and national law enforcement officials have a message for students as the new school year approaches: Think before you post. The second and arguably most creepy encounter was when they called and asked about something I don't remember. But when I asked "anything else?" to try and get the f*ck off the phone with them because they were wigging me out, they started asking me questions. I told them to ask their mom and dad for help, to which they replied "my mom and dad are dead." ![]() They said they weren't allowed to use the computer. So I eventually gave up and asked if they had a computer, because they could easily look it up online. I would explain it to them and they would keep asking me the same f*cking questions. Two of the most notably creepy conversations: the first one involved them asking me about trading Pokémon, something with which I am intimately familiar. There would always be this really weird pause before he spoke after I did. The conversations would start normally, them (wasn't sure if it was a boy or girl) asking about one game or another, specifically Pokémon. I would occasionally get calls at work, a video-game store, from a very eerie-sounding child that couldn't have been more than five or six-years-old. They started in 1987 and continued into the mid-'90s, right around when caller ID started becoming popular. Then I got a job back in my hometown, so we moved, and the calls started again. Then we got married, got our own place in a different city from where we lived and where we went to college, and the calls started again. I also got a couple over the summer when I was at home. She graduated a year ahead of me, and I was living in a different place at school, and I started getting the calls. Then as soon as we said something, they'd hang up. If we just picked up the phone, the caller wouldn't hang up, but we could hear a TV or music in the background. ![]() This is before cell phones or caller ID, so we had no idea who it was, and when your phone rings at 2 am, it's usually something important, so you answer it. As soon as we said hello, they'd hang up. Maybe once a week or so, we'd get a call, often in the middle of the night. But that first time was not fun.īefore my wife and I were married, we lived together while we were in college. It's happened maybe twice since and I just pick up the phone, say "go f*ck yourself" and hang up now. Practically shitting myself I took out my keys, unlocked the door and pushed it open. First I checked the toilets, just in case anyone was hiding out there and then tried the kitchen. I got a broom (the best thing I had to hand) and went upstairs. I hung up and realised that I'd have to go check the kitchen, as I'd just been downstairs and there clearly wasn't anyone in the bar. I picked up the receiver and I swear I could, very faintly, hear breathing. I was going through the door so I wasn't really paying attention and it was only when I got to the bar that it dawned on me that it was an internal call, the slow, single ring. I got done at about 3 am and was on my way up the stairs when the phone rang. I sent the staff home after they'd cleaned up around half-past midnight. One night it had been busy as hell and I had end-of-week accounting to do in the cellar. An internal call is one slow ring, pause, slow ring etc. A call from outside the pub rings twice, like a normal phone, you know ring ring, ring ring. To get an external line you have to dial nine, if you want to call one of the other floors you dial 21 (cellar), 22 (bar) or 23 (kitchen). The bar I work in has three floors and a phone on each floor. ![]() Swallow’s sound and lyrical soloing style have made him one of the most admired bassists in jazz. He achieves a full and unique sound and plays in a sophisticated and tasteful manner. Style: One of the most unusual attributes of Swallow’s electric bass playing style is his use of a pick and his extensive use of upstrokes. He went on to work with major jazz artists such as Gary Burton, Pat Metheny and John Scofield. Early in his career he played acoustic bass with Thelonius Monk which it led to a high degree of credibility for any of his subsequent work. Perhaps the most significant figure in traditional jazz to play the electric bass. Recommended listening: Art Farmer Septet (tracks 1-4) There was never a lot of slap, pop or speed to Monk’s playing, it was just a smooth rhythm section player. ![]() Style: He was good, with a beautiful round sound and he didn’t show off, he used thumb style techniques and made the band sound good. Monk accepted and claimed his place in electric bass history. He offered Monk the bass chair on the condition that he would play the new instrument. In the early 1950s vibraphonist/bandleader Lionel Hampton decided he wanted to use the newly developed Fender bass in his big band. He was the first bassist to seriously play jazz on the electric bass, and he co-led the Mastersounds group in the late 50s and early 60s. During solos, you can experiment by occasionally playing slightly behind the beat. Push slightly ahead of the beat for a sense of urgency and drive in your rhythm. To infuse swing into your playing, dig into the strings, allowing a bit of space between the notes. Experiment with playing up and down the neck instead of across it and incorporate techniques like pull-offs, open strings, and skips for added flair. Position it over the neck pickup when playing in a four feel and occasionally shift it over the bridge pickup to accentuate certain details in your bass line. Pay attention to the placement of your plucking hand. Additionally, consider enhancing the low frequency range from your amplifier to infuse more punch into your sound. It’s advisable to blend in the neck pickup to add depth and richness. However, relying solely on the bridge pickup may result in a somewhat thin tone. Tone often boils down to personal preference. When striving to recreate the quintessential Jazz sound, focus on three essential qualities: tone, attack and swing. The double bass generates sound by pushing air within itself, while the electric bass requires an amplifier to project its tone. One of the key distinctions between these two instruments is in their sound production. They began to explore bass lines in four, ventured into solos, and embraced chromatic lines elements that were more accessible on the double bass than on the tuba. ![]() Early New Orleans bass players like Pops Foster and Wellman Braud employed a range of techniques, including bowing, pizzicato and slapping. It boasts a rich history, especially when compared to its counterpart, the Electric Bass. The double bass, which originated in Italy in the early 16th century, made its way into Jazz music in the 1920s. Tuba players typically anchored the rhythm in a two-feel pattern, emphasizing roots and fifths, a role sometimes taken up by the baritone saxophone. In the early days of Jazz, the marching bands of New Orleans relied on instruments like tubas and saxophones to hold down the bass line. From the early twentieth century to the present day, various bass instruments have played a crucial role in Jazz music. ![]() OPEN HOUSE on Saturday July 24th 12:00PM-2:00PM.

In 117 patients an analysis of the time course of the efficacy could be done from the notes in the diary (minimum duration of treatment 11 d). 39.5% of the cases p less than 0.001 x-test). The global efficacy judged by the physicians and investigated for the 126 patients who took the compounds at least four days within the random phase was remarkably better for the combination than for quinine or placebo (very good and good in 87.1 vs. The subsequent 2 weeks were carried out double-blind. In the first week all patients were treated in a single blind design with placebo. The duration of the study was three weeks. If recurrences of cramp after treatment ended. Only patients who suffered before the begin of the study in at least three nights per week from leg cramps were included. One trial of 150 women comparing sodium chloride with placebo (Robinson 1947) showed a possible reduction in leg cramps: 13 of 57 women given placebo were unchanged or their cramps recurred, compared with 13 of 93 women given sodium chloride, (odds ratio 0.54, 95 confidence interval 0.23 to 1.29). Light exercise, such as riding a stationary bicycle for a few minutes before bedtime, also may help prevent cramps while you sleep.164 patients (m = 45, w = 119 age 55.7 +/- 14.7 years) took part in a multicentric controlled parallel-double blind study in which efficacy and tolerability of the combination quinine sulfate (CAS ) plus theophylline ethylene diamine (CTED, CAS 317-34-0) (Limptar) in the treatment of the recurrent nocturnal leg cramps were investigated. To avoid getting leg cramps at night, stretch before bedtime. ![]() Stretch gently before and after using any muscle for a time. Keep drinking water or other liquids without caffeine or alcohol after the activity. During activity, drink liquids regularly. Being overweight can increase the risk of muscle cramps. Having diabetes or illnesses that involve nerves, liver or thyroid can increase the risk of muscle cramps. Muscle cramps are common during pregnancy. Factors that may lead to leg cramps attacks include hemodialysis, electrolyte imbalance, metabolic disorders, and congenital disorders. ![]() Athletes who get tired and sweat a lot while playing sports in warm weather often get muscle cramps. The medical history and physical examination are usually sufficient to differentiate nocturnal leg cramps from other conditions, such as restless legs syndrome, claudication, myositis, and peripheral neuropathy. Not being in shape for an activity causes muscles to tire more easily. Then the muscles can't work as hard and can get stressed more easily. Medicines often prescribed for high blood pressure can cause increased urination, which may drain the body of these minerals.įactors that might increase the risk of muscle cramps include: Too little potassium, calcium or magnesium in the diet can cause leg cramps. Walking bent slightly forward, such as when pushing a shopping cart, might ease cramping. ![]() The pain usually gets worse with walking. Pressure on the nerves in the spine also can cause cramping pain in the legs. These cramps usually go away soon after exercise stops. A narrowing of the arteries that bring blood to the legs can cause a cramping pain in the legs and feet during exercise. But some might be related to a medical concern, such as: A muscle cramp can happen after working a muscle too hard or straining it, losing body fluids through sweat or simply holding a position for a long time. I never thought about “distraction-free” because there were not distractions, just the words on the screen. And I wrote dozens of the first stories that I sent out to magazines on that word processor. I transcribed all of my class notes in college into Microsoft Word for DOS. This was back in the days before Word has a WYSIWYG display, and more features than there are words in this post. I’ve often said that my favorite all-time word processor was Microsoft Word for DOS 5.5. They are as much desktop publishing systems as Microsoft Word, and I don’t need a desktop publishing system. I love tools like Scrivener, but they combine many things into one. It gives you the basic tools to write, and you just write. iA Writer seems to be closest to this model. It gives me the basic functionality I need to write, and nothing else. What I need is a tool like the WordPress block editor. That’s just not how I write, so the FreeWrite has sat in a drawer for the better part of two years now, unused. You can backspace to edit, but you can’t go back and insert a word, or correct a typo. The problem was that one of its noted features just doesn’t work for me: there are no arrow keys. ![]() After all, it looks and feels like a typewriter. I told myself this would be the ultimate distraction-free writing tool, and that it would be the thing to get me writing again. The user can type and backspace but not much else, and, with the default settings, only ten lines of text are visible at a time.īack in late 2019 or early 2020, I got a FreeWrite. Released in 2016, the Freewrite Smart Typewriter is a hefty little lunchbox of a machine with a noisy mechanical keyboard and an e-ink display the size of an index card. Later in the piece, Lucas discusses the FreeWrite Smart Typewriter: It dumps all of the bells and whistles and says, just get to work, willya? It doesn’t format my manuscript the way Ulysses or Scrivener does, but then again, if I am not writing, I have no manuscript to format in the first place. On the other hand, I am not writing, I am spending my time looking at tools for writing. Therefore, a tool like Ulysses is alluring: it helps with that stuff. I keep telling myself that if I could minimize the time I spent on all of the other stuff (formatting, tracking revisions, etc.) I could spent more time writing. The former has packaged a lot of functionality and appears to be designed to get you from first draft to final manuscript. I spent maybe an hour last night comparing the features of Ulysses and iA Writer. Why can’t I do that for my fiction writing? Why do I feel compelled to revisit tools that I’ve tried before. I don’t worry about “distraction-free” features. The WordPress block editor let’s me get my work done. I am more professional about my hobby than I am about my professional writing. For some reason, I don’t hunt for writing tools for blogging. I wrote them entirely in the WordPress block editor tool inside my web browser. It is not paid writing, but considering my full-time job and family obligations, 3,000 words is amazing. That’s nearly 3,000 words of writing in a day, which is marvelous. ![]() The other, a post that will go out a week from today, came in at 1,200 words and isn’t quite finished. One (Episode 11 of my Practically Paperless series) came in at about 1,600 words. Yesterday, for instance, I wrote two posts for the blog. The distraction is the search for perfection. In reality, the distraction is not all of the elements on the screen, not the endless notifications, not the array of features, but the very existence of the tools to begin with. If I find the right tool, one with just the right set of features, one that eliminates distractions just so, all of my problems will be solved. I did this, of course, instead of writing, telling myself what I always tell myself. Indeed, after finishing the article, I decided to take another look at both Ulysses and iA Writer. I am constantly fiddling with writing tools, telling myself that this one will be the one to work for me. This seems to describe why I get very little non-blog writing done these days. “An interminable revision, an infinite analysis is already on the horizon.” “With the computer, everything is rapid and so easy,” he complained. I’d fallen into the trap that the philosopher Jacques Derrida identified in an interview from the mid-nineties. ![]() The problem is I am too distracted by distraction-free writing tools to actually sit down and write. I like to think I have the writing skill. But I soon realized that it was likely that I’d be able to do it. How I wish I could have written that piece for the New Yorker. There is an interesting article in the current issue of the New Yorker on “ Can Distraction-Free Devices Change the Way We Write?” The article, by Julian Lucas, initially made me jealous. The repeat Vogue cover girl who fronts this month’s Karl Lagerfield tribute issue, along with a bevy of other supermodels is always down to try out new designers and aesthetics. Kendall Jenner has used her seven (so far!) appearances at the Met Gala as opportunities to shapeshift before our eyes. Think Bella Hadid’s vampy leather Burberry gown, Gigi Hadid’s red Versace puffer robe, and Kodi Smit McPhee s Bottega Veneta jeans (which were actually made of leather!). #Teechallaclothing Fashion Last year, certain stars forwent the Garbage Pail Kids Adam Bomb Shirt Also,I will get this gilded glamour dress code with an emphasis on American fashion in favor of international looks that were more streamlined or unexpected. Garbage Pail Kids Adam Bomb Shirt, hoodie, tank top, sweater and long sleeve t-shirt Lily Rose Depp also wore a chained, black Chanel dress that was hardly camp but still chic, nonetheless. It was elegant and whispered in a crown of gowns that screamed. Gwyneth Paltrow, for one, wore a yellow chiffon number by Chloé. More recently, the 2019 camp theme which encouraged attendees to go bold in feathers, sequins, and maximalist looks saw select attendees take a shockingly simple approach to red carpet dressing. And few could top Erykah Badu’s sartorial act of rebellion as she entered the Great Hall in a Givenchy couture jumpsuit and oversize hat. Lupita Nyong’o, for instance, sparkled in a Josephine Baker–style Prada look, and she was followed by a parade of chic minidress wearers, like Michelle Williams who wore Louis Vuitton.

With iam8bit continuing to find success in retro cartridges, one wonders if cartridge gaming will see the same resurgence arcade cabinets have seen thanks to Arcade1UP's home arcade machines, like Marvel Vs. Pre-orders for the NES cartridges are available on and due to ship in Q1 2023. Garbage Pail Kids: Mad Mike and the Quest for Stale Gum releases digitally October 25 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam for $9.99. The new Garbage Pail Kids game now joins several other iam8bit modern NES and SNES cartridges alongside Battletoads, MegaMan X, and Earthworm Jim. Offering a faithful release of an 8-bit game in style typically reserved for Limited Run releases like Bill and Ted's Excellent Retro Collection for PS5 and Switch, Garbage Pail Kids looks to recapture every novelty of 80s gaming down to its unboxing. Both include a retro box, a full-color instruction booklet, four jumbo 5"x7" trading cards of the playable kids, and a download code for the digital edition.Īs a love letter to both Garbage Pail Kids and NES gaming, it's admirable how in-depth iam8bit and Retrotainment's homage actually is. The cartridge is priced at $79.99 and ships in two random colors: Mad Mike Blue or Stale Gum Pink. For those wanting the complete retro experience, iam8bit is also releasing a fully playable NES cartridge of the game.
