![]() Like Tara, I loved Seven and found him to be the biggest challenge to win him over, though all the dating aspects are kind of easy and there isn’t a punishment for choosing the wrong dialogue option. He perfectly aligns with my own reading tastes.Ī flirtatious and mysterious dude who doesn’t wear a shirt. There are a lot of archetypes and tropes associated with each romanceable character, which I think will really appeal to romance readers. I wanted to like Isaac, especially since he’s so socially conscious and started a business focused on wealth distribution, but I found him kind of boring and the épée is my least favourite weapon to play with.Īmanda: I’m definitely with Tara in that Isaac was a little boring. My favourites are Seven, a K-pop star who talks about living with depression and shapeshifts into a light sabre Valeria, a street artist with a hard edge who turns into a stabby dagger and Rowan, a sweet and dark nonbinary person who will make you tea and shifts into a vicious scythe. Some of the dateable characters worked better for me than others. However, I do love a dungeon crawler where different aspects are randomly generated to keep things spicy! Layouts of dungeons will change each time you load in, as well as the number of enemies, collectable locations, etc. I found it a compelling incentive, since this is also how we get the bulk of the narrative content.Īmanda: Unlike Tara, I haven’t played Hades, and I know I’m missing out. The game also encourages leveling up all of the weapons, because you can only go on dates with them each time they’ve gone up a level.It’s gentle and I appreciate that it encourages progress over perfection. You can use them to craft hats that can help you in the dunj, clothes to make you look cool, or gifts to give to your friends and/or paramours (depending on who you want to romance). Not only is there no penalty for dying, you take collected resources home with you. You’re meant to go through the two dungeons multiple times.Fighting in the nightclub dunjīoyfriend Dungeon reminds me of Hades in two ways: That’s right! You’re going to find weapons who are also (usually) human and you can fight with them in the dunj! Or you can date them at places like the beach or a park! It’s hella cute and I’ve already played it twice. When you get to the mall, you learn that Isaac is an épée, which is a fencing weapon. Your cousin, Jonah, sends you to the mall, which is also a dungeon, so you can meet his friend Isaac and fight your way out of there together. You play as the main character and everything is told from your perspective as you roll into Verona Beach to hang out for the summer and hopefully try dating for the first time. Tara: Boyfriend Dungeon is what you’d get if a dating sim and a dungeon crawler could make a beautiful video game baby together. ![]() I’ve been anxiously awaiting its release! And luckily, Amanda was into it too!Īmanda: I was blessed enough to back it on Kickstarter and got some cool limited edition swag. ![]() I started playing that evening and was totally hooked. I don’t really believe in signs, but by the third message, I was sold. ![]() A few weeks ago, three people sent me (Tara) a link for Boyfriend Dungeon in the Nintendo Store. ![]()

![]() ![]() It's possible that Spike doesn't feel he's being too greedy himself since he's not getting the jewels by force but as payment for a service he's offering. Despite how awful he felt at the time, Spike seems to have forgotten the disastrous events resulting from his greed on his first birthday in Ponyville (offering to watch the Mane Six's pets just so he can get some jewels that he intends to make part of a cake for himself), until Zecora pointedly reminds him. Compared to previous Spikes, as he's managed huge blasts of fire on more than one occasion and is the first Spike to be capable of flight.However, with it being revealed Spike wrote the comics in-universe and a Straw Fan calling the cockatrice invasion a fabricated event and it not being the only one, it's debatable just how true any of these accounts are. Additionally, in a throwaway joke, it's implied he and Celestia defended Canterlot against an invasion of giant, mutant, magic-infused cockatrices, riding the Princess herself into battle while wielding a trident. So far he's helped fight off a Changeling invasion, infiltrated the palace of the Nightmare Forces by himself (and then escaped capture), helped Luna solve a series of arson attacks in Fillydelphia, helped Zecora cure Ponyville of a disease (and figured out the cause of it by himself, to boot), and went on an adventure with Celestia to the Crystal Mountains. His comic book counterpart is noticeably more competent and brave. In the cartoon, Spike tends to be weak, childish, and clumsy, usually limited to emotional and mental support for the ponies.Rarity quickly realizes something is off. Acting Unnatural: In the Cold Open of "Molt Down", Spike hides his first stone scale by putting his claw over his cheek. Spike is pudgy for a dragon his size, but he's also strong and athletic when the situation calls for it. He completes this trope with his Big Damn Heroes moment of melting the cloud iceberg. Achilles in His Tent: After Spike butchers the Cloudsdale anthem, he spends the remainder of the Games sulking in his room pretending to pack for the train ride home.Spike only participated in the first place because he wanted to make sure Torch's successor wouldn't wage war on pony kind for petty reasons, which he is sure Ember won't do, and he was only able to obtain the scepter in the first place because she held off Garble for him. Abdicate the Throne: Spike passes the Bloodstone Scepter to Ember, as she is more capable of being Dragon Lord than he is and he has no desire to stay in the dragon lands.Abandoned Catchphrase: Attempts to give Spike a catchphrase ("Holy Guacamole!") in "Feeling Pinkie Keen" have mysteriously vanished.But of course, he's still primarily Twilight's friend and aide, ready to help her with anything she may need, be it an academic test, saving Equestria from destruction, or just keeping Twilight's neurotic mind focused on the task at hoof. The Crystal Empire reveres him as "Spike the Brave and Glorious" for his role in defeating King Sombra, and the leaders of the dragons and the changelings consider him a personal friend. As Twilight's assistant, Spike is her main point of contact with Princess Celestia, able to breathe dragonfire on her letters to magically send them to Canterlot, and then belching out Celestia's response letter a short time later (fortunately, Twilight's outgoing mail arrives at Celestia in a much more dignified manner).Īs the series continues and Spike matures, he gets his own ongoing storylines and arcs, which have resulted in him becoming a famed hero on-par with the Mane Six. Voiced by: Cathy Weseluck Foreign VAs Cecilia Gómez (Latin American Spanish) Motoko Kumai, Rena Koba (Japanese)Ī baby dragon and Twilight Sparkle's "#1 Assistant", before she moved to Ponyville, Spike was her closest companion, the two sharing a relationship that has been an amorphous combination of mother-son, older sister-little brother, and boss-employee. ![]() ![]() ![]() Okay, we said “related,” but in all honesty, this is pretty much the same problem. While we’re talking about the clicking issue, it’s important to acknowledge a related problem that most people find even scarier. A spark ignition switch that shows continuity is faulty and should be replaced. ![]() Use a multimeter on each of the stove switches. How can you troubleshoot a faulty spark igniter switch? A damaged ignition switch may begin to send a continuous current to the spark module, causing it to click continuously. The switch may get shorted due to moisture, electricity upsurge or various other reasons. The spark switch initiates ignition by sending an electric current to the spark module. If the problem is not with the apparatus itself, you might have an issue with your switch. ![]()
![]() Few defend pixel-synching in its current state. Third-party cookies need a reset they were not designed for ad tech anyway. It seems that third-party data collection (retargeting shoes) is a convenient target for angst when the far more potent profiles and power lies with these growing first-parties. Yet that’s not “surveillance.” Nor is search, although it might surprise critics to learn that search data – often more personal than cookie-data – is observed, and sometimes informs ad targeting. They got an opt-in sometime a while back (it’s in the T&C’s). These players naturally know what you do on their sites, combine it with other data and insights, and package it up for advertisers. Winners are companies with their own troves of first-party data. Brands try to get more of it tech companies build tools to move it along. Since Chrome announced the deprecation of the you-know-what three years ago, there’s been a shift toward first-party data. Eliminating Targeting Eliminates Tracking’ We all remember smoking ads, or at least saw Mad Men. If the advertiser is selling a harmful product or lying, that’s the responsibility of the FTC and Truth in Advertising. The Ban Surveillance Advertising Act proposed last year, said: “It fuels disinformation, discrimination, voter suppression, privacy abuses, and so many other harms.” Again, no specific instances are raised, and there is ample evidence that ads alone don’t tip elections anyway. More seriously, targeted ads are blamed for tipping elections and spreading falsehoods. As consumers, we’re free to make our own choices. ![]() They’re what keep late-night cable TV and the Home Shopping Network in business. Higher-margin products – from Veg-O-Matic to class-action lawsuits – always advertise. The study is quite puzzling: display and search work very differently, and it’s difficult to see how a consumer is actually hurt by seeing an ad for a cheaply-made product. The challenge here is in finding a harm caused by targeting – and not just by ads in general, or by an unethical advertiser who is violating existing consumer or other protections.įor example, a recent study out of Carnegie Mellon concluded that products shown in digital ads were lower quality, compared to search. Some of them are even going to court to try to save the cookie. There’s a reason ad targeting happened.īig publishers are the most vocal defenders of targeted ads. Better targeting makes ads more relevant more relevant ads are more likely to get a response that response is worth more to an advertiser. newspapers fell from $20 billion to $2 billion in the last two decades.Īny publisher will tell you targeted ads are usually worth more per impression than less-targeted ads. For decades, classified ads were a cash cow for publishers, particularly local papers. But if you’d like to find a better culprit, look at CraigsList. For whatever reason, online ads don’t command the same prices as offline ads per impression. Targeted ads did not cause this decline the internet did. Global revenue for newspapers is down by two-thirds in two decades, and this is not good news for anyone. Certainly, the internet itself has been hard on print, as cable and then streaming services have bopped linear television. Postal Service, and they’re not anonymous. Contrast this with the offline world, where it’s easy to get a file of recent movers – say – from the U.S. Better than nothing – but far from a map of your entire web journey.Īnd by the way, that advertiser has no idea who you are (unless you told them). What does the retargeter know? That (1) your browser loaded a particular item, (2) that browser is on a publishers’ site. That’s the classic example of the shoes-that-followed-me-around, etc. Take the best-case scenario (or worst-case, depending on your POV): retargeting. Angwin claimed: “Tech firms track neverly every click from website to website….” It would surprise her to learn that the vast majority of clicks on the web are neither tracked by advertisers nor available for sale. ![]() Only the phone company and your browser can follow you around the web. ![]() If someone were to do it, they might start with these four myths: It’s difficult to find anyone wiling to make a case for the defense. A recent op-ed in the New York Times, by Julia Angwin, implicated the industry in many dismal practices, including election-rigging, news-defunding and even inflation. Despite recent protests to the contrary, the FTC embraces “surveillance” as a metaphor for ad tech, and the cultural elite is even less happy. Privacy is hotter than a habanero right now – and it’s coming for your ads.

It’s a great way to introduce elementary students to the periodic table and helps take away some of the “scary feelings” associated with the chart. I’ve been using a fun and unique getting-acquainted-with-the-periodic-table game with my preservice elementary science methods teachers at CSULB for many years. Especially for those 3rd and 5th-grade teachers where some sort of periodic table interaction is part of their science standards.

If you were lucky enough to have crossed paths with Madi, you'll remember her smile forever! The world is a lonelier place without her but we now have a special guardian angel that's making heaven's angels' smile a bit brighter. Some of her jobs included working with horses, working as a server at Millbrook Golf & Tennis Club and a ski rental shop associate at Butternut Ski Basin in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. Her work ethic was highly unusual for a sixteen year old and was appreciated by many. Madi loved to stay busy and began working at an early age doing things she loved serving the community. When she saw that someone was having a bad day, her focus was on sharing a story, picking up a Starbuck's treat to share or finding a way to bring a smile to their faces. Madi was the center of many lives with her infectious warm sunshine which she imbued upon everyone she touched. Madi is also survived by her two dogs, Jack & Brodie! Madi was also blessed with a large group of friends that loved, respected and protected her including Jayden Silvia, Gabbi Radovic (or as Madi referred to as Gibbi) and Sophia Mackey amongst a host of other true friends that always had her best interests at heart. Madi was a loving and involved aunt to her sister's two daughters, Layla Rose Barruso (10) and Eloise Mendenhall (4). Madison is also survived by her mother and father along with her sister, Alexandra Barruso of Nashville, TN, brothers, Austin Dingee of San Antonio, Texas and Travis Dingee of Pleasant Valley. Her love of horses, dogs and all other animals led her to begin exploring college opportunities which would allow her to have a career in helping heal animals. Not only was she a high achiever academically but her quest to excel at everything she loved included other activities such as horseback riding, skiing, snowboarding, dancing, listening to country music and lacrosse, just to name a few. ![]() Madison who was in her junior year was an honor roll student at Our Lady of Lourdes High School in Poughkeepsie after attending elementary and middle school in the Millbrook CSD.

Ruth Eckerd Hall is a wonderful venue that regularly brings in major national and international acts. Cherry Wonderdog sends a shout out to favorite son #1 for adding it to our Monday itinerary. But there was also an element of Kapok that was far dryer, one in which majestic weeping willow and trees of similar southern descent dominated the landscape, producing speckled patches of shaded passages for shelter from the sun’s piercing rays, or allowing a simple pause to craft a creative photographic masterpiece. Much of the vegetation supported their habitat – wetlands and swamps. They swam in the water and sunbathed on logs as if their troubles were a distant memory. We saw dog walkers, moms with strollers, families on picnics, professionals taking a break, and rugged tourists like Cherry Wonderdog. The varied walking conditions (large paved paths and wonderfully preserved boardwalks) invited people of all walks of life. It’s an exceptionally quiet venue, with next to no tourists and only a few local visitors.

Even you can fork a project and release your own miner. So why is there so many versions? Because open source. ![]() Additionally we’ve added some tips and tricks that this miner is capable of doing, so let’s get started.Īlso there is a version of ccminer available for AMD but that’s not as optimized as NVIDIA miner. This guide will make you understand the whole process of setting up ccminer and explains the command line options which you can use in the miner. Also it is an all in one miner that supports most of the crypto currency mining algorithms and so here it is complete beginners guide on ccminer. While there are several other mining applications available out there CCMiner is the most popular choice especially for NVIDIA users. Recently we thought of posting tutorials on mining software’s and so far we’ve made a beginners guide on XMR STAK and XMRig. Since all such guides are focused on one particular coin or algorithm we never had a chance to explain about the miner itself. Along with that we’ll add some fine tuning tips to get the best mining performance. Users can simply copy the sample code, edit the wallet address, pool address and then get started with mining that particular coin. The sample config file looks something like this. In each and every mining guides we’ll mention the coin specifications first and then list all of its mining pools along with a sample batch file for the miner. ![]() ![]() Please note that Urban Thesaurus uses third party scripts (such as Google Analytics and advertisements) which use cookies.
