Torment tides of numenera jack build1/8/2023 ![]() You also need to take into account the fact that some builds might be easier to play at first but harder later and vice versa. Although if you wanted and you weren't a total retard like Avellone (who was doing the same thing again and again expecting different results) you could have even defeated the wolves to get a significant XP boost at the very start. But Arcanum offered you plenty of choices to overcome it anyway with the most obvious one being avoiding dangerous creatures and going to the nearest settlement ASAP. I am looking forward to exploring it further and to seeing the finished product.How is Avellone's retarded gameplay a great example of false flexibility? If you're roleplaying a silver-tongued lady (or a lady with extreme charm thanks to her beauty) it shouldn't be surprising that when crashed in wilderness she would have problems to get by because her skill set wouldn't fit the situation she ended up with. It can only be promising or disappointing, and I think that Tides is the former-it hits all the notes it was hyped up to be. I look forward to seeing further companions on the level of Daakon and Fall-from-Grace of Planescape: Torment fame.Įarly access can’t be treated as a final game, and this is not a final review. The Last Castoff’s companions, both of the starting ones, are intriguing, unique beings, such as an educated scientist overlayed with ghostly images of her alternate reality selves. The writing’s as expected-top-notch, introspective, and digestible. ![]() ![]() Different solutions influence your Tides, ethical systems that respond to your actions and have a tangible presence in the game. The dialogue system is promising-options reference your character backstory and knowledge, giving you new options and allow you to solve problems different ways. Combat felt somewhat sluggish, even by turn-based standards, and I would like to see that refined and sped up to get to the best part, the written story. On paper, the Numenera system works quite well, and my experiences with it in video game form were promising, if slow. They even have the cyphers, ancient bits of technology that amount to one-shot magical items. Combat (or ‘Crises’, as situations always have other solutions), restored by brief rests. Your three core stats-Might, Speed, and Intelligence-serve as both a resource to assist in actions and as health. Your characters classes-the warrior Glaive, the thief Jack, and the mage Nano, as well as the descriptive prefixes (chosen through the game’s prologue). What’s striking, though, is how much fidelity they’ve exhibited for the Numenera roleplaying system. The 2D backgrounds have a painted, washed look that’s appealing, and actually mixes well with the 3D models. There’s a line between understanding and confusion that the esoteric phenomena show. It skirts that line with the Other-technology is recognizable as such, and then does something bizarre like smugly ignore your attempts to puzzle out its command line (making very clear it’s messing with you), with bio-mechanical monsters whose purpose is inscrutable (like the Vorlon analogy that comments inscrutably on your presence). Old, shattered platforms linked by bridges of light, and ancient, alien monsters trapped in cages dot the landscape of the beach and town you start nearby. Advanced technology litters the landscape around the crystal dome you (too) quickly descend to, ranging from ancient computer systems to laughing cones orbiting each other. It certainly sets the tone for this adventure, and is a promising start. Immediately, you have options as to how you access your surrounds, despite the sheer helplessness of your situation-arrest your fall, speed your descent to face the inevitable, or try to remember what led you to this point. Voiced narration reads out the text below, as a blur shoots by on the screen-starting things off high-stress. Tides of Numenera begins with your protagonist awaking in free-fall high above the Earth, plummeting downward towards a crystal structure. What is there, however, is a solid RPG that focuses more on narrative and problem-solving than on combat and grinding. Early Access games get a pass for this, as we’re playing an unfinished game. The game is, of course, unfinished, and laden with bugs and errors that disrupt gameplay. ![]() It also sets an incredibly high bar- Planescape: Torment still stands up today, thanks to its superb writing, and I can’t help but expect a game that seeks to recreate that will live up to that hype. I’m also a fan of Numenera, so this game baits my excitement as well. Personally, I adore Planescape: Torment and consider it a testament to the importance of writing in videogames.

Vitamin d3 50 mcg1/8/2023 Most people will have higher vitamin D levels during warmer months due to intentional or unintentional sun exposure. ![]() There are very few food sources (fatty fish, cod liver oil, fortified milk and fortified cereals) of vitamin D. Avoidance of UV exposure has led to an epidemic of low vitamin D levels. Vitamin D levels in humans vary dramatically by season, latitude and race. Of interest, most lifeguards and people that live near the equator (where UVB light is most prevalent) have vitamin D levels around 100 ng/ml. “Toxicity” does not begin until your vitamin D level hits at least 150 ng/ml. Vitamin D “deficiency” is a level less than 20 ng/ml. “Insufficiency” is generally defined by a level less than 30 ng/ml. The only way to know your vitamin D level is to have a blood test known as 25 hydroxyvitamin D. How do I know if I need to take supplemental vitamin D? In addition, decreased outdoor activity and obesity are associated with vitamin D insufficiency. Sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 decreases vitamin D synthesis by 99 percent. The most significant factor is the increased use of sunscreen. There are two primary reasons why most of us lack vitamin D, according to the authors of the Archives of Internal Medicine article. 2015, found that vitamin D3 absorption increased by 32 percent when taken with a meal where 30 percent of the calories in the meal came from fat.

Adobe substance 3d painter 7.3.01/7/2023 ![]() Good news: The existing official download links still work, so people can continue downloading the builds as long as they have the links. ![]() Between redirecting users, potential licensing issues, and security implications, it's pretty much a logistical nightmare. Bad news: I don't think I'll be publishing the build archive I've been working on. As for downloading packages, I have bad news and good news. Adobe explains how in their Substance account end-of-life FAQ. Update: Now that the Substance accounts are EOL, users can no longer access their accounts, but it's still possible to redownload your old perpetual license keys. Log into the substance3d site and go to the "Licenses" tab to find it. I already downloaded every build for myself, so if all else fails, I could just re-upload individual builds on a case basis, but I can see that idea not being popular.Īlso, quick reminder: download your license file! If you want to continue using this package after EOL, you'll need it to authenticate yourself. In case, for whatever reason, anyone wants to continue using this (Allegorithmic) package, I'll see about finding a way for users to download the builds themselves after the site's closing (maybe would help?). You might want to wait until "Substance 3D Painter 2023" is available, though, as then you'll get more updates for your money. If you wish to continue getting new versions of the Substance suite, I highly suggest picking it up on Steam, because that is the only place where Linux builds will be maintained anymore. From what I gather, that means it's the end of updates for this AUR package, unless there's a surprise build upstream before the end of the month. We're just a couple of days out from the closing of the substance3d site.
