![]() ![]() "When Niko Bellic was unveiled, it felt so close to home. "When I worked in Sarajevo you could still see the artillery damage, so for all the countries involved in the Yugoslav wars it is something that continued to visibly haunt them," Georg Hobmeier, the co-founder of Vienna-based games company Causa Creations, explains to BBC Culture. Yet he quickly discovers that corruption, greed and " flying rats" are just as prevalent in the so-called land of the free, and that cousin Roman is even being extorted by gangsters. ![]() Having fled the Balkan wars, Niko hopes to be re-energised by the bright lights of Liberty City (a fictional re-working of New York City). He dresses in cheap tracksuits tells a love interest of his PTSD nightmares and tends to prioritise emotive philosophy ("War is where the young and stupid are tricked by the old and the bitter into killing each other") over giddy quips while driving to missions with his co-conspirators. When Niko drives past sex workers, he utters the line: "You poor wretches!" However, whereas previous GTA games leaned towards toilet humour over sincere messages about the human condition, and lead protagonists tended to be silent assassins addicted to mischief (GTA 3's Claude Speed) or recycled male Hollywood rags-to-riches archetypes (think GTA: Vice City's Scarface-esque Tommy Vercetti), the Niko Bellic character was a bold left turn from developer Rockstar, directly forcing millions to see through the eyes of a jaded immigrant. There is a nagging sense throughout the game that Niko is having an existential crisis while committing his miscreant acts (including stealing cars) something shaped by voice actor Michael Hollick's crestfallen delivery. Created by Rockstar, a games development studio based in Dundee, Scotland, the GTA games have always been a parody of US excess, with witty in-game jokes on everything from heart attack-inducing burgers to smart homes. Started in 1997, the Grand Theft Auto series almost immediately created a name for itself as a nihilistically provocative and crudely satirical pop-culture sensation, in which players took on the roles of urban criminals testing the frameworks of US society as they tried to rise up the ranks of a gangland underworld. "You just need to know where it is." His first cousin Niko Bellic – a man who has newly emigrated from the Balkans, and is completely unconvinced by America's abilities to fix their broken lives – bluntly interjects: "Yeah, but most people don't know where it is, so they stay at the bottom of the food chain! They stay there until they're burnt out or dead."Īlthough this profound exchange occurs in a throwaway side mission about a quarter of the way through Grand Theft Auto IV, it's a perfect reflection of how the 2008 game, now celebrating its 15th anniversary, dared to take the blockbuster gaming franchise (which has sold more than 400 million copies globally) somewhere darker and more political. "The fast food, the cheap gas, the fake – there's a shortcut for everything here!" beams Roman Bellic, the big-hearted immigrant owner of a failing taxi firm. ![]() ![]() The Switch version of the game, developed by HAMSTER, features a wide variety of enhancements from the original arcade version. This mode of play still is a bit off, but then again I’ve felt the same way about other games just playing with the small joycon layout. Two player local play is also available, using the two joycons. Everything was on point and I never had a problem with controlling my fighters and getting them to perform their special attacks. An arcade stick would be the perfect choice (though one isn’t coming out for a while) but playing both on the TV and in handheld mode worked perfectly well for me. Since this is a fighting game, the controls have to be on point and this version of King of Fighters ‘98 delivers on this front. Speaking of, there’s really no real story to this version of the game other than the goal being to beat Rugal, but the gameplay itself is fun enough that it negates this detriment. Each of these men or women all have their own movesets and play styles as you battle other groups of three until you face the main baddie of the series, Rugal, who has the strength of three men because.well, he’s mean. You’ll choose from a giant roster of over 30 fighters from SNK’s various fighting series like Art of Fighting or Fatal Fury. The King of Fighters series innovated the 3 vs 3 style of battle seen in later fighters, and King of Fighters 98 is no different. This is one of the best fighters out on the Switch at this moment in time. Its solid gameplay mechanics, huge roster and added enhancements changed my mind completely on the series. But as I continued to play King of Fighters 98, I couldn’t help but appreciate the old school simplicity of the game. They’ve never been bad or anything - they’re just simply not my cup of tea. But I never really got into SNK’s fighting games, which have always been a strong force in the genre. I’ve always been a fan of the fighting genre ever since I was a kid, playing Street Fighter II for days on end. ![]() ![]() ![]() Note: the Joycons WILL drift after being roughly treated or over usage.

The height it can go without taking shock from a fall is about 200 Feet. Special, heat treated springs are fitted in the legs of the Prawn suit to allow complete cushioning after a reasonably sized fall. It has a shrunken down Ion Drive Dark Matter V8 which provides power to the rear-mounted thrusters, which allows you to basically fly about 50 feet in the air, before gravity comes into affect and you fall back down. The Gas Bomb torpedo excretes a reasonably disgusting-smelling cloud which is reasonably poisonous to unprepared beings. The Vortex torpedo manipulates gravity and basically imitates a black hole, sucking in light and mediumly weighted objects. The two types of Torpedo are as follows: Gas Bomb and Vortex. It helps mine large deposits of resources that can’t be mined with normal equipment. The drilling arm is what it says on the box. The Grapple arm allows for enhanced environment traversal in complicated areas, I.E: trying to exit a roofed area without the thruster upgrade. Welcome to IGNs Subnautica: Below Zero How To section. The propulsion arm allows the user to manipulate gravity and to pick up objects not weighing any more than 200KG. The four arms allow for all 4 add-on arms from the previous Prawn Suit to be attached at the same time, so there’s no getting out in 70☌ environments just to change the Propulsion cannon arm to the Drill arm just to mine some titanium. A Range of Modifications are available to facilitate resource extraction and enhanced exploration. Rear Mounted Thrusters provide manoeuvrability in low gravity environments. Powerful hydraulic limbs allow for manipulation of objects and powered traversal of the environment. The suit is fully insulated from the outside environment.

As the car leaves the fake check point, the DEA people believe that it is Teresa, Francesco, and Epifanio in the vehicle so they blow it up with a rocket launcher.

Sometimes the same number is included on several scales for example, an aperture of f/1.2 may be used in either a half-stop N = f D Ĭonventional and calculated f-numbers, full-stop series: So while both the Zeiss Otus 55mm f/1.4 and 85mm f/1.4 lenses have a wide-open F-Number of 1.4, they actually. The numerical aperture takes into account the index of refraction of the medium in which the system is working, while the f-number does not. The F-stop is a theoretical value, while the T-stop is an actual tested value. The smaller the f/stop Number, the larger the aperture. The f-number is related to the numerical aperture of the system, which measures the range of angles over which light can enter or exit the system. The f/stop Number is about the diameter of the lens aperture, which is how much light it lets in. Let’s use our two fictional lenses again: The 50mm f/2. The t-stop value equals the f-stop value divided by the square root of the lens transmittance. A lower f-number means a larger relative aperture and more light entering the system, while a higher f-number means a smaller relative aperture and less light entering the system. A t-stops is the combination of both the f-stop and the light transmittance value of a lens. The relative aperture indicates how much light can pass through the lens at a given focal length. It also determines how much is in focus in front of and. ![]() The f-number can also be interpreted as the inverse of the relative aperture (the aperture diameter divided by focal length). (Focal-STOP) The f-stop is the aperture opening of a camera lens, which allows light to come in. It is calculated by dividing the systems focal length. The f-number is a dimensionless number that is usually expressed using a lower-case hooked f with the format f/‘‘N’’, where ‘‘N’’ is the f-number. An f-number is a measure of the light-gathering ability of an optical system such as a camera lens. ![]() Prime lenses tend to be more compact and lightweight than zoom lenses. The f-number is also known as the focal ratio, f-ratio, or f-stop, and it is a key factor in determining the depth of field, diffraction, and exposure of a photograph. The main advantages of prime lenses or fixed focal length lenses are their size and weight as well as their maximum aperture or f/stop. It is calculated by dividing the system's focal length by the diameter of the entrance pupil (“clear aperture”). Diagram of decreasing apertures, that is, increasing f-numbers, in one-stop increments each aperture has half the light-gathering area of the previous one.Īn f-number is a measure of the light-gathering ability of an optical system such as a camera lens. ![]() ![]() ![]() Then invite students to share their own examples of things that are and aren’t delicate.

It makes sense–on a Monday, it’s likely that social media users are more preoccupied with starting their week and prioritizing other activities.Īccording to HubSpot, a Friday is the best day to post on social media, with the most popular time windows being 6 - 9 p.m., 3 - 6 p.m., and 9 a.m. Conversely, the worst posting day was a Saturday.

You probably already know that early morning or late evening when people are sleeping is not the best time to post on social media-so when exactly should you post? What Does the Research Say About the Best Social Media Posting Times? When you consider these three things, it becomes clear that determining the best posting times should be factored into your agency or client’s overall social media strategy. This means that posting at the right time of day and week may help increase the reach of that particular piece of content and maximize the effectiveness of your social media management. In other words, accounts with a high engagement rate tend to receive an additional algorithmic boost to their posts. Social networks are governed by algorithms that prioritize engagement, so content that immediately gets attention is usually shown to more users. That's why posting content when your agency or client’s target audience is on that specific social platform is crucial. If you post content on social media, you want as many people as possible to see it–and ideally, click on a call-to-action (CTA).
