Cocospace headphones6/22/2023 ![]() Actual product features and specifications (including but not limited to appearance, colour, and size), as well as actual display contents (including but not limited to backgrounds, UI, icons and videos) may vary. Product pictures, videos and display contents on the foregoing pages are provided for reference only. I finished Little Nightmares II with so many questions swimming around in my head.*Accessibility of some features may vary across regions. These weren’t questions about the story as such, but about the world around me. How do I view my own existence? Do I appreciate the things I have or the life I live? Will I ever understand the mysteries of our ever-changing lives or the terrifying step away from this mortal coil? Its story is a deeply philosophical case study, presented in rich imagery and profound silences, encased in a nightmare masquerading as a reality. It’s a phenomenal video game, but it is so much more than that. If you were to stay away from the internet, you’d have no idea what Little Nightmares II is about. Nothing is explained to you, and this is how it should be. ![]() You start off playing as a young boy lost in the woods, carefully finding your way as you avoid pitfalls and bear traps, swinging from ropes and outrunning a crazed woodsman with a shotgun. You’re filled with panic and an uneasy sense of what is to come. It is here you meet up with the girl from the first game. After becoming acquainted, you evade the huntsman and travel across an unwelcoming and sometimes terrifying world. I ran away from an abusive teacher, an overweight physician, mischievous children wearing cracked porcelain masks, and the elusive and mysterious man wearing a suit. These encounters made up many of the most unsettling moments in Little Nightmares II, but I saw a lot of images that left me feeling nauseous and uncomfortable. Not because they were gratuitous or crude, but because they were strikingly honest and real. ![]() Halfway through there was a section where I was walking across a rooftop as five men were stood on the edge of a building. As I ran past them, they gradually fell from the ledges, killing themselves one by one. In this one scene I realised just how special Little Nightmares II is. Ultimately it is trying to tell a story about friendship triumphing in the dark, but at the same time it is reflecting real life. It is highlighting the hardships of twenty-first century survival, our reliance on media to entertain, and an ignorance to forming bonds outside our respective bubbles. I may be looking too far into the subtext weaving behind the narrative, but I found catharsis in what was happening elsewhere. It caused me to see things in my own life and the world around me that I had chosen to ignore or pay little attention to. There is so much beauty in Little Nightmares II. From the nightmarish creatures to the beams of light emanating from my flashlight, the finer details are what draw you in. Set pieces involving bright purple doorways provide appreciated flecks of colour, but the locations like the hospital and the apartments are designed so stunningly, swallowing you up and allowing you to become completely enamoured by it. Some of the things you have to do to survive are grim to say the least, but even then it looks so alluring.Īnother fine element to Little Nightmares II’s appeal is the music. The melodies are emotionally overwhelming at times, especially during the poignant moments involving the two children. When death is staring you in the face, or you’re running away from a gruesome threat, the score does everything it possibly can to rip your nerves to shreds. Even the sound effects are worth a mention, especially when it comes to the squelching of blood or the convulsing of flesh, and the contorting of necks or the blasts of a gun. The gameplay, which of course plays a massive role in Little Nightmares II, is great, but there were times when I missed a jump or plunged to my death because the movement wasn’t quite in tune with what my mind wanted the boy to do. There is a lot of variety in how they can be solved, and the studio has done a great job at utilising the environments. You might struggle with a couple, but generally they are easy to work out. My main concern is with some of the encounters.

Dying light the following radio boy6/22/2023 ![]() Samuel would have turned 6 on May 29, 2021. Prosecutors said Balboa, who had been dating Samuel’s father, had been watching the boy in her suburban Houston apartment when she hit him with a “blunt object” on May 12, 2021. “And 26 years from now, God forbid, we’ll be there and make sure that she never breathes free air again,” Kahan said. My son did not even get six years of life and she still gets a chance at one? This is not justice,” Sarah Olson told reporters after the hearing.Īndy Kahan, the director of victim services and advocacy for Crime Stoppers of Houston, said he and others will fight any efforts to release Balboa on parole “Today she admitted to what she did, for 52 years and the chance of parole in 26. Sarah Olson, Samuel’s mother, disagreed with the prison sentence Balboa received. She has some light at the end of the tunnel with this alternative,” Osso said in a telephone interview following the hearing.īalboa did not say anything during Wednesday’s court hearing. ![]() “She didn’t want to put the victim’s family through a trial, nor did she want to risk dying in prison ultimately. “This woman robbed the world of a little boy with a big smile and bright future, and there is no prison sentence long enough for someone like her,” Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said in a statement.Īnthony Osso, Balboa’s attorney, said his client will be eligible for parole after serving half her sentence. Her plea was part of an agreement with prosecutors, who reduced the charge against her from capital murder to murder. On the mum’s claims regarding the incident, Police Scotland added: “As there is an ongoing PIRC investigation we are unable to comment.HOUSTON (AP) - A woman on Wednesday agreed to a 52-year prison sentence after pleading guilty in the 2021 death of her boyfriend’s 5-year-old Houston son, whose body she had kept hidden in a storage unit before it was discovered in an East Texas hotel, according to prosecutors.ĭuring a court hearing, Theresa Balboa, 31, pleaded guilty to murder in the death of Samuel Olson. "We are investigating the circumstances, and once our investigations are complete a report will be issued to the chief constable." Responding to media reports at the time, the force said the incident would be referred to the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner (Pirc) "as part of standard procedure".Ī Pirc spokeswoman said: "Police Scotland referred the use of Taser to Pirc as is required. As part of standard procedure, the circumstances of the incident were referred to the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner.” ![]() “A Taser was discharged during this incident. Police Scotland said the incident was “contained” and there was “no risk to the wider public”.Ī force spokesperson said: “‘The incident was resolved with no serious injuries. The United Nations Committee on the Rights of a Child has previously called for a ban of their use on youngsters. The office of the Children’s and Young People’s Commissioner in Scotland has expressed concern over the incident on March 22. Now the story is out there I hope people will see it differently.” “Some people have been horrible, calling him a little thug. “The more I spoke to people about this the more I realised I have a right and I can do something about this. His mum said: “When he came home he was silent. The boy was taken to hospital following the incident and has been unable to return to school full time. ![]() Police Scotland said the 11.15pm incident was “resolved with no serious injuries” but the boy’s mum says he has been left “traumatised” and has a scar on his leg. The schoolboy’s mum said she called officers to the park because he ran off and couldn’t be found when he couldn’t get a Burger King because it had shut. In another video filmed by the boy, he begs officers “stop coming at me” before the taser is discharged. It’s just disgusting.”įootage emerged this week of the March incident, showing several officers asking the boy to put down his weapon. “He says one of them called him a ‘little maggot’. He’s a good boy who just got overwhelmed. “They have just treated him like a criminal and he’s never been in trouble with police or at school.

Astellia online pre order release date6/22/2023 ![]() ![]() So you might be a little excited to know that it’s launching a closed beta testing phase this month.Īccording to the team behind Astellia, this closed beta will be to test the server performance and PvE progression while showcasing the implementation of active dodging, improved animations and various other combat improvements.ĭo note though that just because the game is going to be playable, it is in beta-form meaning there will likely be quite a few bugs and performance issues.īeta keys will be sent out to random players like every beta, but if you want to ensure you get in to the beta then you’re going to want to grab the Preorder package, which is a whopping $100. People have been excited for its release since the end of 2018 and for good reason: It looks like it could very well be the next TERA. Quick question – what did you think of it? Is it what you expected? Are you going to resub for Classic?Īstellia could potentially be this years big Korean MMO. Hopefully you got in and got to scratch that itch for WoW Classic. You can take help from a mind map to find the solution to any issue. Various instances were made available for players to participate in like Deadmines – which is suicide for people under lvl18 from what I’ve seen and Warsong Gulch for those of you that want to test out PvP. Do you have trouble recalling things in day-to-day life Mind mapping can help you. All characters and classes were made available however they capped players at level 15. This meant that it was your opportunity to get in and experience what Classic was going to be like. However, as of the 19th – Wednesday specifically, Blizz opened up registration for anyone with an active subscription to the game located within North America, South America and Oceania. I never applied and never attempted to test out whether I could get in or not because I never played Classic and didn’t want my first impressions of it tainted.īut from what I was aware of, a very small selection of people were chosen. Now the problem is that many who were frustrated that they couldn’t return the game gave it another shake, and are now above the two-hour mark.I’m not sure how participants for the first stage of stress-tests were chosen. Today, it appears that this issue has been fixed, and players can once again return the title if they have under two hours. Regardless, players have reported that the game on launch couldn’t be returned after they purchased it. Now, if your primary point of sale is that the game cost money to develop, that should be warning sign number one for many consumers. Perhaps emboldened by the apparent lack of care from Valve in regards to skirting the rules comes Astellia, perhaps best known for being a $30 million dollar MMORPG, doing similarly shady tactics. The wait is over, Astellia has officially launched on Steam! Check out our store page to begin playing now! #Astellia #Classic #MMORPG /QGPybtZVh1ĭeveloper Gamespires circumvented this aspect by keeping SCUM (appropriately named, apparently) running as a background process, which continues to tick the gameplay timer even after users close the process. Granted, as long as your title has depth and advertises the game appropriately, you don’t have much to fear beyond a few displeased consumers changing their minds (buyers regret is still very much a thing). This money gets yoinked from developers incoming paychecks from Steam, and they aren’t entirely favorable to developers on the platform. It’s worth noting that there is a possibility that Studio 8 may have been unaware that their title was sold in such a way that it mades refunds impossible the issue has been fixed by Studio 8 within a day of release, although many are still frustrated with what they feel was being trapped in the purchase.įirst, context: Valve introduced refunds mid-2015 to keep with consumer-friendly practices titles that have been purchased and have less than two hours played, or within two weeks of purchasing, can now be refunded. While SCUM was most recently called out for their shady practices of purposefully keeping SCUM running as a background process so players couldn’t get a refund, Studio 8 has allegedly found an even more interesting practice on their release For every awesome indie development studio that pours its heart and soul into a title comes a shady company that seems to be more interested in turning a quick buck.

![]() Your historical financial data is a great jumping-off point for creating your budget. However, within the parameters of your income, you can decide how to spend your money. Your income puts a hard limit on your allowable expenses. Step 5: Input your budget numbers.Ĭreating a budget is nothing more than setting financial goals. You can also vertically sum all of your income and expense categories by using the SUM formula. You can figure the difference between your budgeted and actual income and expenses by subtracting the cell containing the “actual” amount from the cell containing the “budget” amount. Manually summing cells is time-consuming, but Google Sheets makes it easy with formulas. Step 4: Use simple formulas to minimize your time commitment. A column showing the difference between the two, so you can see a complete picture of your progress.A column for actual income and expenses.A column for your budgeted income and expenses.Regardless of the budget period, you’ll want to create three columns: They then extrapolate the budget out to a year. In fact, most budget apps and software track income and expenses by month. You can also use multiple budget periods simultaneously. How much time you want to spend updating your budget spreadsheet.How closely you want to monitor your finances.You may want to budget daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or yearly. This is especially helpful if you’re trying to reduce your expenses in a specific area of your finances. If you find that specificity helps you maintain better control of your finances, you may want to add subcategories to more closely track certain expenses. However, you want enough categories to encompass all your income and expenses without creating unnecessary complexity. There isn’t a “right” number of categories. ![]() Step 2: Create Income and Expense CategoriesĬategories are the backbone of a budget.
