(from the ask game)

ok so predictably i love the flavour text in lancer - you've got your contextless ominous quotes, your snippets from what appear to be in-universe literature, your coroporate euphemisms for something truly horrifying - but recently i've been really thinking about the white witch. because all its flavour text comes from what is evidently some kind of development log or some such, but that contains a really fun range. you've got your incredibly worrying yet kind of vague descriptions of what the thing actually does:

“To say we can pull this needle from ‘thin air’ is the best-fit phrase, but it’s not accurate. Not entirely. There’s no such thing as thin air, not in the way one means it when they use that phrase. ‘Agreeable atomic space’ – that’s what ‘thin air’ really is. A place where one could – if one could – coalesce utility from useless particulate mass with a thought. With a snap of our finger. Here, watch this –” (ferrofluid lance)

“We call it ‘demand-compliance tethering’. Though, that makes it sound as if they have a choice to resist.” (pinning spire)

“Manipulating the world around the platform doesn’t end at rearranging the natural/built environment. This was the line that many on the team were afraid to cross, the question we had all asked ourselves once we bracketed the platform: what happens when we apply it to a person? What does existence mean when it can be ended with a thought?” (camus' razor)

but then you look at a couple of the other mech systems and it basically just becomes the exotic materials department getting increasingly frustrated by the company's attempts to make their horrifying death machine more marketable:

“The first test nearly ended the program. Exotic Materials is a … liberal department within the Constellation, but even our executives were hesitant to approve a second run. The data generated by WW_01 was invaluable, and we were sure we could get it right with a second test – all we needed was the sigma on its rewrite cone! Suits just get leery when systems fail. They forget that progress takes blood – sometimes literally – as payment for a breakthrough.” (ferroreactive shell)

“Soon enough we realized that shaping weapons from molecules and particles wasn’t enough to justify the conical mag as a system worth platforming. We needed to find a way to make it … more. More visual, tactile, concrete, imposing, thrilling – we needed to sell the next step in realspace control! So with some tuning and, regrettably, input from Visual, we figured out how to define the White Witch: as the most terrifying, alien thing you’ve ever fucking seen.” (sympathetic shield)

“Again and again the meatheads over at Visual asked us to ‘help them sell’ the platform. What else could we do? We handed them a power that gods of death and war had coveted since Cain cracked a rock over Abel’s head, and they told us, ‘if we can’t see it, we can’t sell it.’ So we mucked around and made another diadematic little wonder for them, the F-Barrier. It’s brilliant. Of course it is. We’re Exotic Materials, brilliance is easy.” (ferrospike barrier)

and then the icing on the cake comes from the retort loop description - at a glance it seems like someone waxing poetic about what horrors man hath wrought or whatever, but if you actually stop and read it:

“Ultimately, I have to return to the core of what we made, the code we cracked when we finally figured out NO/EM. From a simple prompt, we created a terrible engine. I am more proud of what we did than anything I’ve ever worked on before, but it should never see the light of day. Working with Visual convinced me of this: it’s their job to translate our work to sales, and they could not. If the translator cannot understand the text … then who are they to rewrite it? Who is the reader to attempt to access it? I conclude my summary with this: mothball the platform. There are less terrible paths we can walk.”

this is someone becoming gradually disillusioned with their crowning achievement as an artist, because in making it palatable to the wider market they keep having to water it down, and so rather than face that indignity to their craft they have put it to rest. and also the project in question is a horrifying murder machine.

Our team of experts use the highest quality products and techniques to bring out the best in your car's paint. From washing and polishing to paint correction and protection, we have the skills and experience to restore or maintain the showroom condition of your vehicle. Regular detailing can also help to maintain the value of your car making it the smart choice for any car owner. Luxury car detailing

What are the benefits of detailing?

The benefits of detailing go further than just having a nice looking, freshly clean car inside and out. Detailing your vehicle is an important process to best preserve and maintain your investment. Regular details help prevent corrosion and rust, protects your paint, removes allergens and keeps your vehicle looking and feeling new.

What is the difference in a detail and a car wash?

While a wash will remove most large dirt and debris particles from your paint, they're not near as thorough as a detail. Drive thru car washes can scratch and mar your vehicles paint; even touchless washes use chemicals that aren't pH balanced and can strip your vehicle of any existing protection or waxes.

A Mountainside Detail removes the dirt and grime while decontaminating your vehicles paint from any microparticles that may become embedded in your clear coat over time. We hand wash, taking time to get into every nook and cranny of your vehicle inside and out, careful not to induce any scratching, swirling or marring into your paint. Once completely clean, we finish of every detail with some sort of protection whether it be a wax, sealant or ceramic coat.

Why do I need to protect my vehicle?

Living in Colorado, we are fortunate to get over 300 days of sun a year, but when storms do happen, they can wreak havoc on our cars. Snow, ice, salt and mag chloride put down on the roads during those winter and spring time snow storms can eat away at our cars paint if not properly cared for and protected. Those same messes eventually make their way into our cars and if not taken care of can begin to break down the carpets, plastics and leathers inside our cars as well. At Mountainside Mobile Detailing, we provide services to keep your cars looking their best inside and out. We use the best products on the market to safely clean and protect your vehicle, keeping it shining for miles and years to come!

Can detailing my vehicle really increase it's value?

Absolutely. Well kempt and detailed vehicles are proven to retain their value better when you go to trade in or sell your car. A well maintained and detailed car shows perspective buyers that the vehicle has been taken well cared for over it's life, thus allowing you to get top dollar for your vehicle. Auto detailing near me

Why should I get my brand new vehicle detailed?

When a vehicle leaves the factory, it's transported by truck, train, or boat (sometimes all three) to it's destination. During that journey the vehicle is exposed to brake dust, environmental pollution, industrial fallout, water spots and overspray amongst other elements. All that contamination can accumulate on your vehicles paint and embed itself in the vehicles clear coat over time. If not properly removed or taken care of, those contaminants can break down clear coat. Once the vehicle finally reaches the lot of a car dealership, it can sit there for weeks or months. During that time, the car is probably exposed to multiple test drives along with whatever weather it experiences on the lot. The car is typically hastily washed by the dealership which can end up leaving scratches and swirls in the brand new vehicles paint. Now, you finally purchase your dream car and it already has contaminated paint with micro-scratches and swirls. This is where a new car detail comes into play.

A new car detail will rid the vehicle of all the contaminants it is exposed to during transportation and correct the micro-scratches induced by careless washing while adding protection to both the paint and all interior surfaces. Reach out to the experts at Mountainside Mobile Detailing today with any questions you have about how we can best protect and care for your new vehicle!

“I LOST HOPE, BUT I SURVIVED”

Anyone can get sick with COVID-19 and become seriously ill or die at any age. It can spread from an infected person’s mouth or nose in small liquid particles when they cough, sneeze, speak, sing or breathe.

Year 2020, My mother got sick and her body is getting weak. But, my mother kept on working to help my father to provide our needs during that time. One day, my mother experienced symptoms like Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, Muscle aches, Chills, Sore throat, Runny nose, and Headache. One night she asked me, “May pang amoy ka ba? Bakit wala akong maamoy? Kunin mo nga yung pabango susubukan ko amuyin.” I replied “Meron naman.” At that time, My mother started watching from YouTube some people who are experiencing that kind of virus to know what the symptoms are. My mother was hoping that her thoughts were not correct.

Few days ago, I heard her calling my uncle that she wanted to go to the hospital to have some tests. My uncle wanted to go with my mother to the hospital but some of my aunt's kept telling my uncle not to go with my mother but my uncle insisted and he accompanied my mother to the hospital.

My mother went to the hospital and the doctor advised her that she needs to get isolated while the result of the test is not yet out.

“Nung nalaman ko na kailangan ko ma-isolate nahirapan talaga ako naisip ko mga kailangan ko gawin nun bilang mother niyo at natatakot din ako na hindi ko na magawa mga bagay na kaya ko gawin kasi hindi ko naman alam kung mabubuhay pa ako o hindi dami natakbo sa isip ko nun kasi that time ang dami na balita na namatay sa Covid diba?”

Few days have just passed, the result came out and the doctor said that my mother tested positive for Covid-19 and that was last August 2020 she was 35 years old at that time. It really affects my mothers job and also her health. My mother was taking six medicines at that time. My mother needs to drink medicine continuously to feel better.

My auntie gave my mother a medicine named “Lianhua Qingwen '' a Chinese medicine that is used for the treatment of influenza. That will also help to improve lung ventilation, remove toxins, and help to suppress the viability of SARS-CoV.

After my mother's medication, me and my siblings also needed to have tests to make sure if we also had a Covid-19. We need to wait 14 days again to know if we are positive or not. When the results were finally out the doctor called my mother to tell what the results are and luckily we are negative from Covid-19. When my mother finally recovered, one of her sisters kept on avoiding her. My mom was hurt that time but she understood, she said that maybe because her sister wanted to be safe. “Naiintindihan ko naman kasi baka nga nag iingat lang siya pero masakit kasi kahit magaling na ako parang akala niya mahahawaan ko pa rin siya.”

“Mahirap na nakakalungkot, mag isa sa kwarto non wala akong nakakausap kaya ang ginawa ko nun nilibang ko sarili ko. Sobrang thankful ako sa mga tumulong sakin nun kasi mas namomotivate ako tulungan pa lalo ang sarili ko dahil tinutulungan din nila ako, naramdaman ko talaga na hindi ako mag isa.”

Remember that struggles do not always end, sometimes this is the lesson you need to learn. That will make you stronger and give you strength to conquer your weaknesses.

Certifiable Calfskin Coat - What's the Distinction Among Genuine and Counterfeit?

In the event that you are thinking about harley davidson riding jacket buying another cowhide coat for yourself or on the other hand if you have any desire to give another person a calfskin coat as a present, the first and most fundamental thing you ought to do is ponder the nature of the cowhide.

While certifiable calfskin can emerge out of quite a few creatures, the most well-known are cowhide, lambskin, and goatskin, every one of which has unmistakable characteristics that decide its worth and generally speaking quality. In this aide, we will separate these attributes with the goal that you can settle on an educated choice while purchasing your next calfskin article of clothing regardless of whether it's veritable!

Step by step instructions to Recognize a Certifiable Calfskin Coat

There are a lot of internet based guides that case to tell you the best way to recognize a certifiable calfskin coat. In the wake of doing some exploration, I've presumed that most are either obsolete or unclear on subtleties.

The most effective way to let know if a calfskin coat is certifiable is by checking its weight out. While it very well might be valid overall (there are special cases), what really does weight truly mean? Is it alluding to its thickness or the way in which weighty it feels when worn? Those subtleties are vital however aren't determined here. Since there was no aide that offered these subtleties in a solitary spot, I set off to make my own. This guide will walk you through each step of recognizing whether your coat is genuine or counterfeit.

Top Articles Could You at any point Wear B-ball Shoes For Volleyball? - Salon Prive Mag Might You at any point Wear Ball Shoes For Volleyball? Advantages of Certified Calfskin In the event that you have looked for a calfskin coat, you are probable acquainted with cowhide choices, like phony or engineered cowhide. Albeit false calfskin is more affordable than veritable cowhide, it won't furnish you with tantamount toughness or style. As a matter of fact, even many design specialists neglect to recognize genuine and counterfeit leatherette in a moment test.

For those trying to purchase a durable veritable calfskin coat that can endure most weather patterns, there are a few interesting points while evaluating genuine versus engineered impersonation softened cowhide. The professionals of certifiable calfskin incorporate these.

Dependable: Veritable custom cowhide coats last longer than their less expensive other options. As well as being more grounded, strong and sharp, veritable cowhide coats needn't bother with to be supplanted as frequently as less expensive elective materials like calfskin (counterfeit calfskin).

Safe: Veritable calfskin opposes dampness better than different materials. While picking a coat produced using counterfeit material like cowhide, anticipate that your jacket should lose its shape quicker when presented to rain or snow since water particles can infiltrate profound into its strands.

Great Worth: Certifiable cowhide is a well known decision among shoppers who need a quality piece of clothing at a reasonable cost. This implies that you will not need to forfeit style for moderateness assuming you pick certified cowhide over additional cheap false choices like sheepskin and fake leatherette items.

Advantages and disadvantages of Buying Top notch versus Bad Quality While picking a cowhide coat, you really want to think about something beyond how great it looks. There are two kinds of cowhide: authentic and artificial (in some cases called manufactured). With any remaining things being equivalent, buying certifiable cowhide has various advantages over counterfeit calfskin. Besides the fact that it looks betters and endures longer, however it likewise offers medical advantages for the individuals who wear it consistently. In any case, certain styles of fake coats have started to gain ground as of late that can equal their genuine partners.

While certifiable is still commonly better than fake while thinking about these classifications, in the event that you're searching for a beautiful coat on a careful spending plan you can get a superb impersonation for a portion of the expense — simply know what to search for prior to pursuing your last choice. Notwithstanding its different benefits, there are a few clear burdens related with purchasing veritable cowhide.

It's generally fundamentally more costly than fake, and because of its unique case isn't as broadly accessible or adjustable as engineered material. Assuming that you're worried about creature government assistance issues or moral commercialization, it very well might merit exploring whether any assembling processes associated with making your coat hurt creatures. At times, organizations have been known to utilize pleather which can be viewed as a type of creature mercilessness.

Best Tips For Certified Cowhide Coat Genuine cowhide is normally warm, without being bothersome or firm, so you can appreciate wearing it for a really long time at a time. Some bad quality coats that are promoted as genuine cowhide really have creature fur or fleece on them. For anybody who values basic entitlements and needs to try not to purchase items with brutality, veritable cowhide is the best approach.

While searching for a decent coat, check where it was produced; many brands utilize less expensive materials in different nations to reduce expenses while as yet publicizing their pieces of clothing as genuine cowhide. While there's nothing innately amiss with that methodology, purchasing recycled makes it significantly more moral — it's smarter to pick coats made in places like Spain, France, or Italy which have gained notoriety for quality.

Authentic cowhide endures longer than counterfeit ones in view of its prevalent solidness. However long you deal with your coat by cleaning it consistently and utilizing harley davidson riding jacket conditioner when fundamental, it should keep going for a really long time.

Citrate Gold Coated Magnetic Particles

Absolute Mag™ Citrate Gold Coated Magnetic Particles, 10 nm

Magnetic nanoparticles coated with gold add new properties (inertness, protection of the magnetic core against oxidation, optical properties) to those of the magnetic particles, without modifying their superparamagnetic behaviour. Gold shell is coated with citrate anions which can be displaced with a wide range of molecules containing a thiol (SH) group. Once functionalized, they can be employed as platforms for many applications such as target-specific drug delivery, biosensors, lateral flow tests, flow cytometry, cancer photothermal therapy. These particles have a mean shell thickness of 3 nm and a core diameter of 10 nm, the final size of gold coated magnetic particles is ~15nm.

Wet and Dry Magnetic Particle Inspection

One of the greatest inventions in the history of the world was magnetic particle inspection. This type of inspection has made things a lot easier. Wet mag particle testing has enabled us to see what is going on without having to destroy anything. This has made it possible to test things while they are running. We can now see what causes something to fail, and we can even see it before it happens. This enabled us to take advantage of these new technologies. It is going to be a great thing in the future as we grow our base of new technologies. We will be able to see a lot more types of testing being deployed to help with what is going on. It is also a lot better for us to focus on these things, as it is useful and new.

 Magnetic Particle Inspection

 What sets magnetic particle inspection apart from the competition is how useful it can be when you deployed correctly. This type of particle inspection is all about having small magnetic particles attached to the service of what you are testing. You will be able to see where there are cracks and other deformities that could cause something to fail. This is one of the most important things you need to know about this type of testing and, it is essential to getting it to work. You also have a lot of other things you need to worry about when it comes to particle inspection and testing. Working with magnetic particle inspection is going to make things a lot better for everyone. The future is bright when we have these techniques available to us, so we can all be happy with the products coming out.

 Wet Mag Particle Testing

 The thing you need to know about wet mag particle testing is that it allows you to test something without destroying it. That is the most important part of the process, and we can test a lot of different things now that we couldn’t before. You cannot test that precious item you have without having to destroy it, which is a huge problem. We Will also be able to go in and figure out the results, so we can get improvements made and delivered. These are the types of things that will have to do in the future to keep things working as smoothly as they can. Will also get things working well with other forms of testing.

Into the darkness Post mortem

What I learned

how differant a rigid body based controller is compared to  other character controller unity has developed.

varies of ways to make particles, including making a swirl flame thrower type flamethrower.

Prototyping a similar level to the final planned game and testing out game mechanics to rebalance them. 

I managed to improve my level design with unity's terrain builder and object placements while still keeping my eyes on the stats of framerates, draw calls and etc. I evenly managed to get the game to play mostly above 60 fps.

Most of the assets I used were close to its artistic style as possible which I intended it to be a little cartoony and low poly as possible, except for the blood slash image that looks too real rather than cartoony.  

improved some of my pro builder skills by making some building layouts, adding textures and ammo (except for assault rifle mag). 

Using 2 scripts for players Ammo. one to determine which ammo it is  ammo type by a public enum and the other for working on public methods to increase or reduce ammo from certain ammo pickups that match the ammo type enum and player shooting respectfully.

improved flashlight system that decays light and angle slowly when used and can be restored by picking up a battery.

Pausing the game using time scale and unlocking its cursor to be seen by player for menus until they replay the main level.

Making A simpler Enemy AI that spots the player and follows the player to attack them unless the player is too far out of their sight. Also attacks player if provoked.

Differant types of level design flows such as choke points and branching paths.

Find object in type functions.

zooming weopons by fps camera.

switching weopons by scroll mouse wheel.

determining if a gun is requires to hold the mouse key or press each click to fire weopon.

address few common bugs like weapon still zoomed while switching weapons and fire button not occasionally working.

making simple fog and skybox material.

how effective post fx is for dark and eerie places.

using broadcast message code.

enemies to smoothly lerp to look at player.

using physics material to not let the player get stuck on walls.

What went wrong, could I have done better?

I used the grass texture for the "trees" prefab for terrain. I need to use grass for the "details" prefab for terrain in future.

Some of the trees I used weren't designed to move with the wind like their real life counterparts, I had trouble getting those to do so with diffuse. I will need to learn more about how to diffusing with trees in future to get them moving slight right.

The rigidbody controller felt a little differant compared how I used the character controller. I would need to do some testing on both controllers to see which would suit better in my future games.

I added extra prefabs to other prefabs like barrels by houses and spider webs on prison walls respectfully at the last min before launch which took a large tedious amount of time. I will need to plan in advance next time and making various variations of the walls and houses that it doesn't always look like the same house with the same amount of barrels and spider webs respectfully.

I could have made the skeletons say more than just “hello” and can possibly get them to say things like “get out...” or just growl. which I have a random audio array before with the player swinging the axe in another project.

Some of the sounds I used couldn't be played louder such as the player death scream. Next time I will to edit the sounds in Audacity if I can to make them play louder.

Overall I enjoyed making this project to flex my level design and some fps mechanics I learnt. I probably should have no spent so much time on it because I have other projects to do. Next time I do a fps project it would be fleshed out better with other mechanics like animated player fps arms and recoil.

XKMA-102 Experimental Intelligent Computer Assisted Close Combat Mechanical Armor “Ganymede Gundam”

While mechanical armors like the XMA-100 Gundam Proto and XMA-101 Gundam MARC paved the way for the primary technology developments of the International Terrestrial Commerce Coalition’s GUNDAM program, these experimental units were only ever built to identify teething problems and confirm the functionality of GUNDAM’s second-generation mechanical armor development scheme. The GUNDAM program’s masters knew from the instant funding was allocated that these technologies would require not only testbeds, but also a combat-capable experimental unit to push them to their very limits, and thusly, from the program’s inception, the “Ganymede Gundam” experimental unit, designated for this purpose alone, was slated to be built.

The XKMA-102 Ganymede Gundam experimental hunter-killer mechanical armor leveraged the Gundam Proto’s immensely powerful motion system and avionics, as well as the Gundam MARC’s advanced sensors and high-performance charged particle weaponry, into a single machine, one built around a revolutionary operational concept.

While the Gundam MARC followed the piloting scheme that the Mag Mell corporation’s second-generation mechanical armors had pioneered, that of a two-pilot crew, in which the first pilot, the “tactical” pilot, handles the weapons, manipulators, and general maneuvering of the mechanical armor, while the “operations” pilot handles power distribution, navigation, and combat resource allocation. This scheme allowed the primary pilot to focus completely on combat, lessening workload by preventing them from managing the fine details of their weapon’s movement and logistics.

A clearly identified axis of improvement from this scheme was obviously that of a single-pilot control system, in which a computer took over the duties of the operations pilot, enabling single-person mechanical armors that could match or outperform two man crews in combat.

The GUNDAM program approached this tricky technical problem through the use of a machine learning and “artificial intelligence”-powered combat computer, called the Pilot Intelligence Combat Computer, or PICC. This computer leveraged a massive repository of combat data, a high-performance massively parallelized processor cluster, and full control of the mechanical armor’s power systems, weapons, and maneuvering gear, in order to match the capabilities of an operations pilot.

The PICC’s first trials proved to be very promising, with the computer showing greatly improved response time and operational efficiency compared to human pilots, while simultaneously improving the situational immersion and awareness of its human tactical pilot. In order to capitalize on the speed and efficiency of the man-machine piloting team, the Ganymede Gundam was fitted with a set of four short-range missile launchers, all of which were independently aimable and directly controlled by the PICC. These launchers were loaded with wire-guided short range wire-guided missiles fitted with shaped charge metallic energy-stable hydrogen (MESH) warheads, and the PICC was theoretically capable of controlling all 64 missiles simultaneously and independently, with this capability being enabled by the sophisticated sensor suite mounted in the mechanical armor’s “horns”. In addition to the missile launchers, the Ganymede Gundam was also equipped with a LeX-125R1 MESH repeating rifle for mid- and long-range use. This weapon system used a hybrid recoil- and gas-operated mechanism capable of 80 rounds per minute, as well as a four-shot under-barrel rocket grenade launcher.

For close-range combat, the Ganymede Gundam was fitted with an innovative application of plasma weaponry, in the form of plasma emitters on the forearms that could assist the mechanical armor’s punches with bursts of plasma, allowing penetration of most armor types without relying on the ITCC’s typical mechanical armor melee weapon choices, which require both a bulky weapon holster as well as an umbilical cable. While this weapon technique imposed limitations on the Ganymede Gundam’s close-range engagement options, it also took advantage of the mobile suit’s exceptional speed and maneuverability.

Powering the Ganymede Gundam’s deadly weapons, outstanding maneuverability, and spectacular combat intelligence was an innovative fusion reactor unit, the first application of the deuterium-Helium 3 fusion process in a mechanical armor. This reaction enables far higher power output and greater fuel efficiency, which allows the reactor to be made much smaller, more durable while boasting an increased usable plasma flow rate. In practice, this gave the Ganymede Gundam a smaller visual cross section and improved damage resilience without compromising power output, as the new D-3He reactor unit can output 1800 kW at peak load. However, helium-3 is a difficult fuel to acquire, making the Ganymede Gundam and other units like it expensive to operate for extended periods.

The capabilities of the Ganymede Gundam came not only at the cost of fuel expenses, however. In combat trials, the PICC proved to be extremely volatile and aggressive, with unpredictable threat response escalation. Additionally, many of the test pilots reported limited control and tactical authority, with the mechanical armor only responding predictablty when pushed to be hyper-aggressive. The Ganymede Gundam and its PICC rapidly earned a reputation of being “cursed” or “unlucky,” especially after one unfortunate incident in which the PICC attacked an escort mechanical armor as well as a viewing stand during a live fire exercise, resulting in the death of two people and the injury of 31. Though many different threat response and seeding data tunes were introduced in attempts to fix the PICC’s behavior, the fundamental aggression of the machine could not be rectified, and after a program lead was nearly killed by the Ganymede Gundam, the unit was mothballed at the ITCC’s Yucatan facility in a partially disassembled state.

The Yucatan facility was attacked by Mag Mell’s forces in October 2204, and much of the hardware there was either destroyed or lost. While the Ganymede Gundam’s hangar was found collapsed, there was no sign of the Gundam itself...
