![]() ![]() However, we will say that even through a simple series of text-based screens in its prologue, Campo Santo manages to swiftly invest you in a story that tackles a subject we’ve never really seen in games before, deftly pulling at your heartstrings without too much cliche. The poignancy of Firewatch’s story is best enjoyed from start to finish on your own terms, so we won’t reveal the details of what drives main character Henry to take a fire lookout job at Shoshone National Forest in the northwest of Wyoming. It’s not perfect, and there are some noticeable technical sacrifices to justify its existence on Switch, but it’s no less essential. ![]() It’s heartfelt, silly, unsettling and beguiling all in the space of its roughly six hours of story. It’s a walking simulator and proud of it, but it tells a very specific story about a very specific person as they attempt to cope with the heartbreaking truths that are defining their very specific life. Released back in 2016, Firewatch is many things – tense, intriguing, charming and a little frustrating – but it’s never, ever boring. “It’s the most boring job in the world.” And yet, despite that rather eye-opening reality check, the studio went away and created one of the most memorable games of this current generation. “Why would you make a game out of this job?” some of their interviewees would say. During the early days of Firewatch’s development, Washington-based indie studio Campo Santo made a point of speaking to real fire lookouts to get a sense of what it’s like to be stationed for months on the end, deep in a North American forest.

![]() Would be nice if I could make a friend or two to travel with. There are so many interesting people at Rhodes Island.

Trades attack speed for high ATK and more range, great at tackling DEF values in mid range Elite Promotion Discussion That being said, Platinum is a Sniper who can consistently make big hits at a longer range than typical ST Snipers, making her a potent strategic option. This makes her less useful in rush situations or on maps where she doesn’t have time to set up for the long haul. Unfortunately, Pegasian Sight takes quite a while to activate (around a minute), and until it does, she’s at a bit of a disadvantage. If she is in a situation where her Talent, All-out-attack, can take effect (increases damage based on time in between attacks), she can put up some especially impressive damage numbers. This effect is permanent: once it is active, she will be in extended slaughter-mode for the rest of the fight. It extends her range 1 tile beyond that of normal ST Snipers and increases her damage at the cost of some attack speed. Platinum’s unique strength lies primarily in her second Skill: Pegasian Sight. Her role is pretty simple and straightforward: Kill everything in sight (but flying things first). Is Platinum a former Knight-Assassin of Kazimierz, a mercenary who has turned over a new leaf, or just a troublemaker who makes death threats to keep her chest size secret? Regardless of what she may have been before, now that she is part of Rhodes Island, Platinum is a 5★ Anti-Air Sniper.

We need a working class hero, with working class methods, a haunting and exotic past, and the maturity of someone who has seen and reflected on the world. I think I see a new, distinctly American franchise in the future. Thus, “ The Equalizer” is a rare example of a film that allowed me to think about my own approach to interweaving character development with plot can enrich the story and keep the pace moving quickly. Audiences are brought into the story through character and then the plot is paced well enough to keep us involved. In the end, the producers and director recognized how the visually oriented medium of film could be used to convey character development. This isn’t just a revenge flick, a familiar trope for these types of movies.Īt the end of the movie, I found myself wanting to go back to Boston, one of my favorite cities, despite the blood and mayhem. We see how McCall’s own past changes the way he relates to the people he must eventually dispatch in pursuit of a higher good. The deaths of the bad guys have meaning, even if the gore seems gratuitous as times. ![]() While I still believe the gore was a bit too much, the bloody mayhem is important to understand McCall’s evolution as a character and how, in the end, he retains his humanity. They also made sure they didn’t waste the talents of Mr. They didn’t let the genre or familiar cinematic tropes swamp character development and story structure to create suspense. Given the graphic gore level in the film, this is critical for keeping a good story flowing we (as viewers) cannot be overwhelmed with the blood and mayhem or we lose site of the story. Even though we know how the movie will end, the character evolves at key points, and empathy is established early. A lesser actor would have made the lead character–Robert McCall–two dimensional and predictable. In fact, the opening sequence of shots itself does a fine job of providing important initial backstory to the lead character as an unassuming loner. Time was spent to frame shots creatively and in ways that help tell the story. This wasn’t all computer animated action. Sweeping vistas of Boston (one of my favorite cities), artistic camera work focused on characters and action, and the attention to the human aesthetic of the plot were top notch. (This is good because the plot–hero avenges injustice–is a bit tired.) But, for me, this film stood out for three reasons: This movie, unlike other blockbusters, folds character development into the plot and at least tries to strike a balance between the two. This is not the case with “The Equalizer.” Indeed, I saw just the opposite on the silver screen. Nic, Inc.–but I’ve become somewhat jaded by recent superhero (e.g., Superman, Wolverine, Lucy), super monster (e.g., Godzilla), and martial-arts action films (e.g., Ninja Assassin, 47 Ronin), that showcase special effects and gore over storytelling and character development. I’m a fan of the action/adventure genre anyway– all four of my novels fall into this genre, most recently St. The Equalizer, the action film starring Denzel Washington, provided a welcome and unexpected opportunity to explore this. I often gauge a movie’s value by whether it stimulates my thinking as a writer and storyteller. They always said: "you are our brothers and sisters, you are our friends, we are always together." As a result, they saved only their property and screwed everyone else. When the enemies launched an offensive in the Immensea region it became clear to everyone they were abandoning everyone and did not need anyone anymore. As a result, they collapsed their own coalition. But they always were not happy and always didn't like something. Legacy Coalition with TEST making the same mistake as N3 which had good systems and had a good business in it. Fuck it, just save your own asses and do not care about others. They never told anything to their brothers and friends. ![]() They started unanchoring their structures but only which belong to TEST. Already this year it was known TEST leaves this space. There is enough space for everyone but destroying everything is nonsense. The scorched earth tactic is meaningless. Russian community stopped the war a long time ago. The players who were helping them to grow, developing, secured them have been robbed but TEST was talking shit about them.Īs of today, it is not a war. In December 2020 when the coalition moved out they took those structures with them. And what did they do? Right! They were thieves during the dark cold night when no one knew and could not see they just took off as a gift for themselves. Many corps and allies transfer their structures to TEST. As soon you leave the family you are a piece of shit.īut we didn't finish yet. We are the family, we are friends.but only until you keep paying. In a disagreement case, they just unanchor the structure deliberately destroying rigs showing how powerful and strong they are.īut that is not all!!! No, no, no, no, no, no, no! They shared information with enemies about unanchoring structures and specific times so that enemies would kill these or just take them without problems. In the form of an ultimatum, TEST forced corporations to sell it for a very cheap or symbolic price. In fact, structures have never been given back. TEST declared if you want to leave the coalition they will give it back because we are friends. There was a rule, all main structures should be transferred to the main TESTs corporation. Thus everyone is equal within the coalition but some are more equal. So some pilots you can kill another you can't. ![]() Brave had been justifying they don't have isks for compensation and since TEST owes a lot of isk to Brave, we should claim compensation from TEST. But the new pilot of Brave Alliance could make over 100kkk kills. There is compensation for killing TESTs pilots which is 5 times more of the kill. And they were found! Later those ships were caught sight of at a market at TESTs keepstar. When they’ve been asked what happened they have tried to evade an answer, saying it is not their problem, that only we were responsible for loose and we should keep searching for where they have gone. Let's look at a trusty and trustworthy business partner.ĭuring the war, several POSes were installed which hosted a looooot of large and expensive ships including capital ships, fractions ships and T3. Thus they just fucked off manufacturers in doggy. Contracts with a fair price were ignored and never been accepted. But never received any payments for that.The coalition accepted only 0 isk contracts. Corporations and alliances which were scammed produced a lot of ships ordered by the coalition in order to do prolonged war. So the coalition scammed their members just had used them and made isks with their help.īut that is not all. Some corporations and alliances still didn't get any compensation. ![]() In a case, if an alliance can not afford lost ships the coalition always is ready to help. The things are a scam, lie and and even worse.įirst, let's start from the beginning of the war when it was said that more pilots participate as better for everyone. There are a lot of things that have happened behind the scene which were hidden from a usual member of the coalition and furthermore players out of the coalition. Let me tell you why corporations and alliances are leaving the Legacy Coalition. ![]() Use a DataFetcher to download stock data. ![]() Scanner - an interface for the "main engine" of the scan.Ī general outline of the use of these interfaces could look as such:.Validator - an interface for deciding whether a stock should be returned as a candidate from the scan or not, given the conditions it fulfills.Condition - an interface for checking whether a stock fulfills a condition.DataReader - an interface for reading stock data files.DataFetcher - an interface for downloading stock data and saving it locally.To achieve this goal of modularity, the framework has a few different interfaces you need to implement when writing your own extensions. getCandidates () ) print ( list ( map ( lambda x : x. max_close * 0.97 ) print ( "Looking for consolidated stocks." ) data_fetcher = YahooDataFetcher ( universe, path ) conditions = candidates = ( BasicScanner ( conditions, data_fetcher ). min () except Inde圎rror : return False def fulfilled ( self ) -> bool : """ If the difference between them is less than 3% we consider the stock consolidated """ return self. _init_ ( stock ) # We will look from the last close to 10 days back window = 10 try : # Find the max and min closes in this window self.

So, are you up for the challenge? Is it Possible to Boondock Without Solar? Just remember to plan ahead, conserve resources, follow local regulations, and always practice leave-no-trace principles – because the last thing we want to do is spoil these awesome spots for others. But on the plus side, it allows you to explore and park in a wide variety of locations that might be untouched by, or at least less crowded with, fellow adventurers.īoondocking (also known as “dry camping” or “dispersed camping”) is an excellent opportunity to embrace a self-sufficient and off-the-grid lifestyle while experiencing the beauty of nature in a completely unique way. ![]() Imagine driving off the beaten path, finding the perfect spot in the heart of nature, and spending your days without any connection to modern conveniences – no electricity, running water, sewage connections, or Wi-Fi.īasically, it’s the art of self-contained, off-grid camping, usually in a recreational vehicle like a motorhome, camper, van, or even a tent, that challenges you to rely on your own resources and survival skills.

What Is Boondocking?īoondocking is one of those unique experiences that dedicated camping enthusiasts can appreciate. In this post, we’ll explore the benefits of solar power for boondocking and discuss whether or not it’s a necessity. Solar power provides a reliable source of energy that can help make your outdoor adventures more enjoyable. Also, having a reliable power source can help extend your length of stay. Solar panels provide a source of energy that can be used to run lights, appliances, and other electronics while staying off the grid. Solar power is not necessary when boondocking, but it can be beneficial. But one often-asked question needs to be answered: Do you need solar to boondock?
