![]() ![]() An issue has to be pretty bad to be able to kill a game single-handedly, and the walk speed alone in this could do it, if it was not for the other issues present.Ĭombat is random, punishing, and has a huge variance. Frequently quests will have you backtracking across the map, therefore be prepared to spend inordinate amounts of time watching a character slowly stagger their way across the empty map over and over. Thrust into a huge map the player walks at what can best be described as a snail's pace reminiscent of Diablo. Have fun punching enemies while 10 of them shoot at the character with their slingshots and toilet plungers - both of those are serious weapons in this game by the way. The 'real' game sees the character with no stats, next to no life, can barely shoot, and so on. ![]() In the tutorial, unbeknownst to the player, the character is set at max level, so max stats across the board, life, speed and so on, along with late-game weapons and armour, it largely feels like a twin-stick shooter kind of game of stomping through enemies. Sadly, issues begin very quickly, from the long (and arguably necessary tutorial) that tries to shoehorn a host of controls best meant for a PC onto the PS4 controller, to a bad setup of what this is going to be like. taking the role of a nameless mother who her kid gets kidnapped, the quest for redemption across the apocalyptic wasteland is always an intriguing choice to get the party started. From bad UI issues, horrendous gameplay decisions, and just overall inconsistency, it has been a while since a disaster like this has graced the consoles. One of the easiest ways to tell if you might be remotely interested in this is if dialogue boxes like 'Get him!!!!!11111!!!1!' or the chronic use of swear words to be edgy comes off as cool, or too try-hard. That, and I've got enough sprawling RPGs on my plate to last me half a lifetime.ĭustwind is out now on Steam for £11.19/€14.39/$14.39.It doesn't take long playing Dustwind: The Last Resort to realize it has serious consistency and direction problems. While I'd love to see some kind of campaign structure, even if just as an optional way of stringing together user-made missions, there's something to be said for one-shot missions, especially regarding balance. It looks easy to use, and allows you to create scenarios for any mode, plus custom rule-sets. Dustwind's developers (the rather unimaginatively named Dustwind Studios) reckon that larger missions may take upwards of an hour to complete, so presumably having a vehicle for traversal will help in those marathon runs.Įven if its multiplayer scene fizzles out (and I hope it doesn't), having a full editor with Steam Workshop sharing should help extend Dustwind's shelf life. Some of the larger vehicles are even armed. Creators are free to include muscle cars, trucks, buggies and other such post-apocalyptic hardware in their maps, fully driveable. ![]() Unlike earlier versions, you can play entirely solo in missions featuring mutant and robot enemies, controlling a full squad by yourself.Īs with Fallout Tactics, vehicles are also part of the strategic blend. While more of a gimmick than anything (at least according to Fraser's early review), you can even create a dog character, capable of doing most things, although obviously not able to wield guns. You assemble your characters using a point-buy system, with extended play opening up more equipment and character options. With the release of the full version yesterday that seems less of an issue, as it now includes solo squad command (real-time with pause style) and a bevy of co-op modes, user-made solo missions and bots.Īt its core, Dustwind still seems to be a multiplayer-focused game. Fraser Brown took a look at it while it was in early access, and found an intriguing web of systems, sadly under-populated. I'd like to think that Dustwind's developers agree, as their game bears more than a passing resemblance. Yes, it had its balance and structure issues, but it had an interesting combat engine. I've always thought that Fallout Tactics got an unfairly bad rap. ![]()

They are easier to use than some I’ve seen on Sony Ericsson handsets, but more difficult to use than others, and I found it challenging to get text into the handset at my usual speed. I can’t say the same for the number pad buttons which are small and round. It is so subtle you could almost not notice it, but actually I rather liked it. There is a little haptic response when you move around in the main menu. All in all, then, this is a bright and happy handset for bright and happy people. The lime green is also used in the various backlights, which I’ll come to later, and as the colour scheme for 3’s theme. Most of this candybar phone is actually white with silver borders, with the lime green coming into play as a band all around the edge as well as the background to the buttons which sit between screen and number pad. Either way, if it is to your taste, it is certainly different. Some might say that the lime green and white does look a bit ‘sweet-shop’, but others might call it ‘spring-like’. With the exception of pink, which I won’t go on about again, and brown, which I just don’t think is a good colour for a mobile phone, I’m pretty hospitable to a flash of colour on a handset.

This compact and striking phone, finished in Night Black with ?FM Radio? detail, really stands out from the crowd. This can also be used as a speakerphone when you tire of the radio and decide to call a friend. When it's time to share the radio play-list with a wider audience, the J120 features a loudspeaker through which the radio can be played. J120 has the same easy to use features as J110, such as a single-icon menu and one-click access, with the added benefit of a built-in FM Radio that allows you to store up to 10 favourite channels plus a stereo headset that's supplied with the phone. Navigation through the menu options is easy thanks to the single-icon display, and J110 has enough stamina and storage to keep you in touch however busy you are, giving up to nine hours? talk time and room for up to 200 phone numbers.Ī robust, solid phone with chrome detail and a bright 65k colour STN screen, The J110 will be available in selected markets from Q2 2007 in three distinct colours: Soft Cream, Smooth Grey or Precious Purple.

Keeping in touch is made straightforward with the J110, a classic ?candy bar? phone with large, legible keys and easy navigation. The K220 will be available in selected from Q2 2007.

Available from Q2 2007 in selected markets in either Metallic Black or Light Champagne, the K200 allows you to always have your favourite pictures in your pocket.Īs with the K200, the K220 is an easy-to-use camera phone with a single icon display, but with the advantage of an integrated FM radio with RDS. To keep things hassle-free, the central navigation key is set-up to give one-click access to key features such as the phone book (which stores up to 300 contacts) and messaging menu. Navigating the phone couldn't be easier either, as the menu can be set to a series of simple, single icons. Given that the K200 has a slideshow view and will store up to 40 images, it's easy for users to view their pictures in full screen and share them with friends. The VGA camera and photo album are immediately accessible with just one click on the dedicated button. The K200 is all about having a camera on your phone just when you need it. All four, including the J110, display Sony Ericsson's signature styling and premium feel, yet manage to keep simplicity and ease-of-use at the heart of their design. Of the four, the K200 and K220 are both camera phones, whilst the K220 again and the J120 bring music into an affordable segment with integrated FM Radios, complete with headsets. London, Febru?

Baker launches into diatribes on capitalism and the ownership of art. In the afternoon, they taped a performance for that night’s Jimmy Kimmel Live the audience included Bridgers’s mom, wearing a boygenius T-shirt.ĭespite a packed schedule, the band is in high spirits when they regroup in Los Angeles a few days after the festival. At 8 a.m., they were getting camera-ready for a Zane Lowe interview. On the eve of returning to Coachella for the festival’s second weekend, the boys had wrapped up another busy day. “What’s remarkable about us," says Baker, “is how f-ing good we play our instruments and the music that we make." Regardless of how each member defines herself, this group knows how it wants to be recognized. For one thing, all three members identify as queer women-a fact the band avoids dwelling on whenever possible. “I don’t think we have the same problems as the rock bands of yore," says Bridgers. Boygenius seems to have learned that, as demonstrated by the Traveling Wilburys, one of the most legendary supergroups, humor and mutual respect go a long way in a room full of big personalities. It’s not just sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll."īut the CSN reference is telling, a reminder that rock’s history with “supergroups"-bands in which the members come to the table with successful careers of their own-is fraught with ego clashes and inevitable disappointments. “I like that people are being forced to think differently about what’s interesting about us. “It’s a mission to avoid toxicity," says Dacus. These choices are a cheeky nod to rock’s history of machismo, even as they set out to embody the exact opposite. On the cover of their self-titled 2018 EP, they pose on a couch in the style of the shot on the front of Crosby, Stills & Nash’s debut album. For the February 2023 issue of Rolling Stone, they re-created Nirvana’s 1994 cover stance. To promote their work, the bandmates have taken visual inspiration from some of rock’s most iconic threesomes. ![]() The name serves as motivation for the group-and if there are rules for rock music, boygenius has achieved success by challenging them all. For anyone who is not a cisgender male, to be a “boygenius" is to demonstrate confidence in your ideas when the world has conditioned you to be afraid of them. When they first assembled five years ago, Baker, Bridgers and Dacus conceptualized the band’s name as a comment on the idea that many men receive constant affirmation from the day they are born. Joining forces, though, brought them to a new level of success-and a different kind of ambition. The most recent solo projects from Baker and Dacus were both Top 10 hits on the alternative charts. Bridgers is the best-known-her Grammy-nominated 2020 record, Punisher, earned her a spot on Saturday Night Live (a performance that became notorious for her vigorous, only partly successful attempt to smash her guitar onstage) and collaborations with the likes of Taylor Swift, SZA and Paul McCartney. Baker, 27, Bridgers, 28, and Dacus, 28, were already established as three of the most acclaimed singer-songwriters of their generation. ![]() But interest in this trio preceded the release of the album. ![]() ![]() ![]() No evidence was found of a universal anatomical feature responsible for third-order optical aberrations. Correlation of aberrations from the left and right eyes indicated the presence of significant bilateral symmetry. The largest pupil for which an eye may be considered diffraction-limited was 1.22 mm on average. ![]() For example, the average amount of higher-order aberrations present for a 7.5-mm pupil was equivalent to the wave-front error produced by less than 1/4 diopter (D) of defocus. On average, the total wave-front variance produced by higher-order aberrations was less than the wave-front variance of residual defocus and astigmatism. To first approximation, wave-front error fell exponentially with Zernike order and increased linearly with pupil area. However, for any individual eye the aberration coefficients were rarely zero for any Zernike mode. This result indicates that a hypothetical average eye representing the central tendency of the population is nearly free of aberrations, suggesting the possible influence of an emmetropization process or evolutionary pressure. We found that the population averages of Zernike coefficients were nearly zero for all of the higher-order modes except spherical aberration. We infer from these results that subjective best focus occurs when the area of the central, aberration-free region of the pupil is maximized. The residual Zernike coefficients for defocus were not zero but varied systematically with pupil diameter and with the Zernike coefficient for spherical aberration in a way that maximizes visual acuity. Zernike expansions of the experimental wave-front aberration functions were used to determine aberration coefficients for a series of pupil diameters. Sphero-cylindrical refractive errors were corrected with ophthalmic spectacle lenses based on the results of a subjective refraction performed immediately prior to experimentation. There is no way to 'opt out' or 'suppress' the NPPES record data for health care providers with active NPIs.A Shack-Hartmann aberrometer was used to measure the monochromatic aberration structure along the primary line of sight of 200 cyclopleged, normal, healthy eyes from 100 individuals.
