All of the on the court things I look for are starting to take shape in NBA Live. The gameplay is coming along, and they’re making some large strides with their current iteration. There were loot crates, challenges, variety, timed challenges, etc. There was, however, more “fresh content” delivered weekly for those who are focused on The One. The fresh paint and UI were nice, but beyond that there just wasn’t much there. I don’t like the fact that in Live 18 the franchise mode was so barebones and without character that I couldn’t play more than a month. They draw views, they influence purchases and have vast followings. It was made hugely popular by NBA 2K, and NBA Live has kind of taken that mode, and truly taken another step and focused the brunt of their game towards “The One” mode. That is, of course, NBA 2K.įor the past several years, basketball gaming has started trending towards “My Player” type modes where you are the star, and you build your player up along your own NBA journey. There is only one title currently with a full-fledged NBA franchise mode, with all of the bells and whistles that I’ve come to expect from a title that is played on current-gen consoles. I’ll play against the AI, and if I’m lucky, the AI will play to their strengths and it’ll be up to me to make the necessary adjustments to counteract them.īut this is the major problem and it’s been trending in this direction for quite some time. I’ll fire up Live or 2K, and go to Dynasty or MyLeague and try to take my team to the top. ![]() When I sit down at the end of a long day and just want to play an NBA game, I do so with the intention of playing an actual meaningful NBA game. I love the salary cap and the implications that come along with building a team within budget. I love unique incoming rookies who are dynamic and could be absolute superstars. I love scouting upcoming players and seeing what trades I can accomplish that will change the outlook of my team for not only this year, but for years to come. I love the personnel changes when guys just don’t “click” in a system. I love the injuries that cause team strategies to shift and find new ways to win. I love the grind of an 82-game season to find out who will be the last team standing after a long playoff series. I love the superstars who can go off at any given time and really put on a show. Like I mentioned above, I love the NBA game. No more do I have true options in the areas of the game that truly matter to me. No more do I have five different studios all competing for my hard earned dollar. Some had more pros than the others, but all of them pushed to replicate the NBA product that I have grown up on.įast forward 15 years since I fell in love with Inside Drive 2003, we’re in quite a different spot with NBA video games. If one wasn’t your cup of tea, then there was another title right around the next aisle you could pick up and give a whirl. Everything was phenomenal.īack then you had Inside Drive, Konami ESPN Basketball, NBA 2K, NBA Shootout and NBA Live to fill your NBA gaming needs. He was a man of the people and implemented our feedback. I’d PM my deep dives on gameplay, game modes, slider recommendations, AI, etc. ![]() We would PM back and forth about the upcoming Inside Drive titles that he was working on with High Voltage. THE Mike Wang frequented the board back in the days, and I like to think that I struck up a good friendship with him. We were able to interact with lead developers. Finding Operation Sports way back in 2000, my love of the game and the games that replicated the sport I love grew exponentially. For the vast majority of my life, I have been a huge basketball video game fan. A time where I can block out the reality of the impending 25-win season the Cavs are on the brink of achieving. However, as summer lingers on there is a bright spot approaching for me: NBA video game season. I’ve been at the low of lows as the King has departed yet again, leaving a void in the franchise that will not be filled for quite some time. As a Cavaliers fan, I’ve had a rough summer, as you can imagine. I follow the game, all games, all teams, all players. The unfortunate predicament I find myself in is the same one that has continued to trend a certain direction over the past few years.

If you're willing to put in the time to learn what Smartsheet can do and customize it to your needs, it's very powerful. One note about Smartsheet: to get time-tracking, budgeting, and resource management, you need companion software that come with added fees. For example, you might have an automation that says, "When someone marks a task as blocked, and the task status is 'in progress' or 'for review,' then alert the person assigned as the manager for that task." Most other project management apps don't have automation options built into them, though sometimes you can create them using third-party tools, such as Zapier.

His Dragon Ascendant, which in YGGDRASIL is a more powerful version of a common dragonoid, boosts most of his already inherited enhanced physical strength and magical resistance but also granted him extra immunities. But being a dragon based heteromorph he suffered from piercing damage, from spears and arrows. His basic dragonoid traits allow for enhanced physical attributes and a large boost in magical resistance as well as slashing and bludgeoning damage resistance. He is a dragonoid on top of being a Heteromorph, meaning he boasts high magical abilities and high defence bordering on magical invalidation. He is a heteromorph and as such as he certain racial traits that demi-humans and human races do not possess. As a heteromorph he was targeted by Demi-Human and Human players on a discriminatory regular act, but he was well and truly capable of taking them on in a PvP playstyle, but preferred not to. His type of play style was focused on combating multiple enemies, and dealing large amounts of damage to them so he could force them from focusing on the other players. He was excellent at PvE, capable of taking on all the roles within a raid, but preferred tanking and instant damage above DPS and Primary Support, but when the raid was low he would have to step in to either be a DPS or Support and could perfectly fit that role if needed. He plays a build that focuses on both close range and long range combat, while also taking his own physical abilities into account as well as his strategic planning for certain battles. He plays a Min-Maxed build, that has gone through years of trial and error.

They cant force her to be vassal since the invasion on HK was done by Jaldabaoth not Sorcerous Kingdom (even if they do it would be much less efficient). But a Doppelganger for Caspond was more effective than Calca cause it had less risks of exposure since every high positioned people knew Calca was too kind (dont need to elaborate this part but people would doubt the doppel taking extreme decisions which real Calca usually wouldn't take) They could use Doppelganger for Calca instead of Caspond (though real Calca dies in this scenario too). ![]() Making the HK entirely dance on the palm of Demiurge through the fake Holy King Putting a Puppet in place of next candidate of monarch Demiurge wants to take control of HK not have friendly relations.

The use of such distributed buoyancy is mainly aimed at minimizing the overall cable dynamic responses and accommodating the cable dynamic tension or curvature changes in harsh weather conditions, by decoupling the platform motion from the cable touchdown point at the seabed. Secure fastening and precise positioning of buoyancy modules are ensured by using internal clamps. In any case, there is a requirement for a design of buoyancy modules (typically made of synthetic foams) to be distributed along a certain mid-water part of the cable. The W-type cable may be used for connecting between the two floating wind turbines or between the floating substation and wind turbines, whereas the lazy wave cable may be used as an interarray, interplatform and export cable. ![]() Dynamic power cable concepts: (a) interarray cable (b) export cable. In terms of the design, this requirement can be translated into a floating support structure minimum rotational stiffness ( Section 11.2.2).įigure 13.8. It is important to remember that this is the total angle of inclination, the sum of the static and the dynamic angles of oscillations, due, respectively, to the average value (mainly due to the wind) and the oscillation amplitude (mainly due to waves) of the inclining moments. The exact value of this maximum inclination angle is still open to discussion, but according to the literature a good starting value is 10 degree. Taking also into account the fact that many of the sub-systems of an offshore wind turbine (bearings, gearbox, generator, etc.) have been designed to operate close to the upright condition, it is necessary to impose a maximum roll/pitch inclination angle. As a consequence, there is very little experience in estimating the performance of wind turbines at large inclination angles, and relatively few data have been presented in literature. While FOWT systems can experience relatively large inclination angles (in roll and/or pitch), onshore and fixed-to-seabed offshore wind turbines do not experience such angles.

Her Color 4 sports her only in her straps undergarment as well as her socks and gloves, all recolored black. This may be a reference to her Victorian England themed 2P outfit from Soulcalibur IV. Her Color 3 removes the haori and colors her kimono blue-white and messy hair black. The Color 2 also recolors her parasol red to further emphasize the similarities. ![]() This is a reference to her Soulcalibur III 1P outfit. Her Color 2 recolors her whole outfit red and her hair black. This is particularly observable in her wearing a corset as opposed to a more traditional obi, and her heeled geta shoes. Like her past appearances, Setsuka's appearance evokes an east-meets-west theme. The haori formerly belonged to her late master Shugen Kokonoe. Over her shoulders, she draped a black haori with gold trimmings. She also wears distinctive geta shoes with western-style heels. Beneath them, she wears a navy blue strap undergarment with matching over-knee socks and fingerless gloves, both adorned with gold floral patterns. Setsuka wears a sleeveless white kimono adorned with snow patterns fastened with a western-style corset at the hip. Setsuka used to be a sweet woman until Shugen Kokonoe's death at the hands of Mitsurugi, which drove her to becoming vengeful. Several streaks of her hair are seemingly dyed black, perhaps as part of her attempt to fit in among the Japanese. Her hair is styled into a small roll adorned with a floral kanzashi. She has light skin, long blonde hair, and blue eyes. Setsuka, being a mixed-race person of Japanese and Portuguese descent, has a very distinctive appearance compared to the people of Japan. Setsuka, who was left alone, could not see the way to go.Īfter an encounter with the malfested Gyobu Kokonoe, Setsuka decides to find Mitsurugi on a quest of revenge, not as a pupil who lost her master, but as a woman robbed of her love. They both lived together and lost their natural existence, but they were not allowed to live in revenge. With Atsushi's sword flash, I'm sure that I'll come back and get struck. She moans in front of the grave of the snow-covered teacher. The first martial artist, Shiro Mitsudaira. I know the name of the person Shugen attended. Still.unlike that time, she had the technique of removal that her teacher left behind. Setsuka, who lost the people who lived together, felt that he was once again immersed in the loneliness he had felt as a child. Until the end, while being gentle to Setsuka and strictly teaching the sword. Shugen was injured in a certain duel and eventually passed away. The darkness of Shinden Tsushima-ryu, a technique that Shugen learned, did not allow the two to live quietly. They believed that they would live secretly, enjoying their bond.īut the times weren't right for them. At some point in time, the training became more advanced, and Setsuka grew up to be a woman with both strength and beauty. It was a way to protect and live, but she flourished. Shugen began to teach Setsuka Shinden-Tsushima-ryu-Battoujyutsu. The new life, which was given the name of “Setsuka”, melts her frozen heart little by little. A young swordsman, who called himself Shugen Tomiya, called her, who was disliked and hated, the flower that bloomed in the snowfields. Exhausted under the cold white snow, she meets a man. However, traveling as a child does not last long. The relatives unreasonably oppressed the stranger's blood-throwing daughter as the "demon girl," and finally she fled the house. "I don't know the warmth of my parents." She was born aboard a ship from Portugal to Japan, and her parents died of illness without stepping on the land of Japan. ![]() She too grew up in despair and closed her heart. Violence in disgust, curiosity, and unspoken words that everyone in a mixed race would suffer. She wasn't wearing this nobility from the beginning.

Snow-white skin, lustrous gold hair, and two deep-blue beads on its deeply carved face.

Mort & Phil at the 2016 Barcelona International Comic Fair Mort (Mortadelo) Mission: Save Earth), marking the 50th anniversary of the series. A second movie was released in 2008, Mortadelo y Filemón. There are two live-action movies based on the series, one of them made in 2003 in Spain titled La gran aventura de Mortadelo y Filemón ( Mort & Phil: The Big Adventure). One animated series and some animated films were also produced. This attracted attention after the 9/11 attacks of 2001. In the final page of the album El 35 aniversario (1993), featured a New York scene with an aeroplane crashing into the World Trade Center. Examples have included a water tap sprouting from a tree, two mice chatting, and a vase containing a foot or an eggplant. Ibáñez likes to introduce whimsies unrelated to the action, especially in front covers. After the 1980s, the albums have featured current news, like computer sabotage, the AVE, Islamic terrorism, Spanish and European politics, and specials for the Olympic Games and the football World Cup. Outside Spain, the series is especially popular in Germany as Clever & Smart. ("grandmother"), they interact with their boss, the bad-tempered Superintendente Vicente with Professor Bacterio, a black-bearded, disastrous scientist parodying James Bond's Q and with the fat, blonde secretary Ofelia, a parody of Moneypenny, whose attempts at seducing Mort or Phil always fail. (Spanish for "aunt", a parody of the CIA), which combats "enemy organisations" like R.A.N.A. The results are almost invariably extremely violent, and most often directed towards Phil. Mort and Phil are a pair of idiots, and no matter what kind of mission they are assigned they always manage to get it wrong. Thanks to cartoon physics, the effects rarely last more than one panel.

The Honeycomb yoke features a Solid Steel shaft with Dual Linear Ball Bearings providing a smooth feel and stable control. It was designed and developed in California by pilots and aerospace engineers to ensure the most realistic flight experience.

I decided to replace it with the Thrustmaster Boeing yoke and I am super happy with it! I have had it for about a month and have used it mainly for the PMDG 737, WT CJ4 and Honda-Jet. The Honeycomb Alpha is one of the few yokes that allows full 90 degrees of deflection right and left of natural center. So I have a Honeycomb yoke destined for the garbage bin. I was just out of the 2-year warranty so nothing can be done on the yoke and it is not clear their new one coming out fixes this issue. Honeycomb then came out with the XL clamps and I ordered them.they were too big! The smallest setting on them was now too big for my desk! Another design flaw and they were not returnable (if anyone needs a set.let me know). The sticky pad is ridiculous and will not hold for long. Also, the clamps were too small for my desk (2" thick.not out of the ordinary) so had to rig something for it to work. I don't think that was calibrated properly and not sure what the intent was there. The yoke is also way too stiff on the pitch axis (I have many hours flying IRL). It turns out there is a major design flaw with the ports where there is an RJ45 cable (new cable did not solve, the ports were defective). Features: The Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant is an all-in-one cockpit system featuring a.

I got the Honeycomb Alpha over 2 years ago when it first came out. Authors in this movement of cognitive science are proposing to revisit the Cartesian dualism that argues a separation between the body and the mind or the object and the knowing subject. This demonstrated how the matter in the brain can process data. The concept, as we now know, was inspired by the 1943 article by Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitt “A logical calculus of the ideas immanent in nervous activity” that describes how a mathematical model of a neuron network could perform logical calculus (McCulloch 2016). Affect is interesting to frame kinesthetic empathy because to be “affected” implies a direct impact on the body through the body not yet in the conscious mind.įurthermore, the context in which kinesthetic empathy is defined includes embodied cognition, a concept pioneered by Francisco Varela and Umberto Maturana. It is an “interface between the body and the world” (Reynolds 2012), a way to capture intensities in becoming conscious. For philosopher Brian Massumi, affect precedes emotional state and does not represent feeling affect is a non-conscious experience that cannot be fully realized in language (Massumi 2002). ![]() Affects are defined as visceral and pre-subjective intensities of the body, and represent a departure from emotions, in that the latter are (conventionally) construed as conscious, subjective and present in the mind. The first of these contextual frames is the affective turn of the 1990s and early 2000s. These contextual elements have in common a desire to move away from the Cartesian mind-body dualism. In their introduction to the edited volume Kinesthetic Empathy in creative and cultural practices, Dee Reynolds and Matthew Reason identify three contextual elements from philosophy, cognitive science and neuroscience to frame the emergence of kinesthetic empathy as a concept. Kinesthetic Empathy in C visceral and pre-subjective context The two interactive dance pieces are Unless created by Brian Knoth in 2009 and the Altérité Numérique that I created with contemporary dancer Myriam Arseneault in 2019. Finally, I use two examples to demonstrate how kinesthetic empathy can be mobilized in research-creation. I then shift the discussion to focus on the concept of embodied knowledge and show how kinesthetic empathy can be used in multidisciplinary research contexts. To do so, I begin by giving a brief overview of three concepts essential to understanding the context of kinesthetic empathy: affect, embodied cognition, and mirror neurons. Additionally, I argue that the concept can be mobilized in multidisciplinary research and is particularly interesting for artist-researchers. In this short essay, I describe how kinesthetic empathy represents a form of perception inherently multisensory that emerged out of a specific philosophical and scientific context. However, contemporary ideas in philosophy and neuroscience give us new insight about the inner working of our perception of moving bodies and their effect on observers. Additionally, the first dance major in the US was created as early as 1926 (Bonbright 2000). The recognition of the moving body as a form of art is not new indeed, the first silent films in the late 19 th century relied essentially on body language. Why do we, as spectators, feel so compelled to watch bodies in motion, whether in film, dance or theatre? How is it that a dancer moving in silence can make us feel sadness or that watching swing dancers or shuffling ravers can instantly light up the mood? What makes British physical comedy sketches like Monty Pythons’ “Ministry of Silly Walks” so funny? A big part of the answer lies in a perceptual phenomenon known as kinest h etic empathy which Dee Reynolds and Matthew Reason describe as “the ability to experience empathy merely by observing the movements of another human being” (Reynolds 2012). Through motion capture, interactive sound, visual and haptic components, his research looks at how a dance performer can collaborate and improvise in real time with and autonomous machine. ![]() His research-creation practice focuses on the emerging relations between the moving body and computational behaviour. ![]() program at Concordia University, Montreal.
