![]() ![]() ![]() Gimme more! | Anteprima Triangle StrategyĪt the end of the scarce four hours we spent in Triangle Strategy’s Prologue Demo and just sat down at our desk to write this preview, we found ourselves thinking we wanted more. As for us, we decided to venture into the kingdom of salt, because intrigued by the concept of total equality among the citizens, all very devoted to the divinity of the place, as if we were faced with a real utopia. The importance of the choices given to the player is also emphasized in the demo, when we will be actually we decide which country to visit: Aesglast or Sabulos. We can make him more calculating and less human, or vice versa more prone to a submissive nature. Serenoa is a man with a noble soul, which we will be able to shape in his convictions through careful dialogue choices that will also affect the continuation of the narrative. We find ourselves in the control of Serenoa Wolfhort, heir of the homonymous family, who from point blank finds herself succeeding her father, sick and unable to continue to be the strong man and who led to the end of the War. As you can imagine, however, considering that they built a video game on it, this agreement will obviously be broken, even if we do not want to specify the causes. Negotiations by minor houses, such as that of the Wolfhorts, loyal vassals of the house of Glenbrook, have then led to the closure of hostilities through an agreement. ![]() The continuous tensions between the three kingdoms then resulted, before the events of Triangle Strategy, in a real War known as the Salt and Iron War, from which no one came out victorious in any way. We are in the lands of Nortelia, a vast continent that contains three nations that have always been in conflict with each other: Glenbrookoverlooking a river, it had quickly become the economic and commercial center of the entire continent Aesglast, empire of iron, known for the large amount of mines and raw materials extracted in the end, Sabuloskingdom of life as a producer of salt, an inhospitable land whose capital rises however on the Saline Lake, an inexhaustible source of the chemical compound essential for life. Salt and Iron | Anteprima Triangle Strategy On the other hand, in fact, we are still talking about a prologue, however verbose and full of interesting ideas. In this instance, therefore, we want to focus more on the narrative side, although we will always remain within the reasonable limits of spoilers. In this case we have indeed been able to try the first three chapters of Triangle Strategy, with the disclaimer from Square Enix that, once we have purchased the full game, we will also have the possibility to import the saved data of the Demo. In fact, if the first trial version allowed you to put your hand on chapters 6 and 7, central and not very generous in terms of details on previous events, the Prologue Demo makes us start the game from scratch. A preview that incorporates the one written in February 2021 in almost its entirety, but which has more pushed us to learn more about the narrative and the intertwining of the title. In the past few days, the company has released a new free trial version of Triangle Strategy on Nintendo eShop called “Prologue Demo”, from which we decided to release this final preview pending the release of the title on March 4th. At the end of the day, Square Enix always remains anyway. Although, we remember, the development studio is not even the same, because if it was Acquire who put his hand to the title of 2018, to curate Triangle Strategy (which abandoned the “Project” some time ago) we find the guys from ArtDink. We told you, exactly one year ago, about the first demo of Project Triangle Strategy, the “project”, precisely, of a turn-based S-JRPG with an aesthetic and a graphic sector that, unwillingly, really remembered so much Octopath Traveler. The title that, who writes to you, most awaits from this March 2022 is not in fact Final Fantasy Origin, but an exclusive Nintendo Switch that has also changed its name over time. As we often like to say, however, Square Enix isn’t just Final Fantasy. A decidedly high-sounding title for the name it carries inside, “Final Fantasy”, the series that brought Square Enix to the honors of history and that raised it from a certain fall. In less than a month, day 18, for example, we will be able to get hold of Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin, the dark action-rpg that takes up the first chapter of the series, representing it in a dark fantasy key. In March, Square Enix has two big aces up its sleeve to show off while waiting for Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 2 and the fugitive Final Fantasy XVI. Let’s find out together, in this final preview of Triangle Strategy, if and to what extent the new demo released on Nintendo eShop by Square Enix has definitively convinced us: the answer is yes, we will tell you right away ![]()

Now, when you have this sulfhydryl group it's attached to, say, a carbon chain and when I use this R right over here, when I have this R. So, it's not quite as polar as if you had a hydroxyl group. So, you're still gonna have a partially negative charge and a partially positive charge, but it's going to be less polar. It's kind of similar to a hydroxyl group with the one difference, with the one difference that sulfur is electronegative but it is less electronegative than oxygen. And so, this group right over here, which is called a sulfhydryl group. They both would love nothing more than to grab or pretend to grab two other electrons and this is why they form, they tend to form two covalent bonds. And you might say, "Wait, why is this one similar? "I have sulfur here instead of oxygen." But if you look at the periodic table you will see that sulfur and oxygen both have six valence electrons. Now, similar, a similar functional group or one that has somewhat similar properties is right over here. They can form hydrogen bonds so that you can dissolve this. And this one, so, a hydroxyl group they are polar, they are polar, and because they are polar you can dissolve them into water. A partial positive charge at the hydrogen and to a lesser degree the carbon end too but hydrogen is even less, is a less electronegative than even carbon. ![]() Now, what are the properties here? Well, you have oxygen which is very electronegative bonded to a hydrogen and to a carbon but the oxygen is a lot more electronegative than the hydrogen so you're going to have a partially negative charge at this end away from the hydrogen. We're going to use the prefix Eth because we have two carbons here. And this one in particular if you want the name we have two carbons on the longest, longest chain and it is an alcohol so we use the prefix Eth for the two carbons. Hy, hydroxyl group, and when it is attached to a carbon backbone like this one is then it turns the entire molecule into an alcohol. It doesn't have to be attached to a carbon backbone but the OH right over here, this is called a hydroxyl group. So, we have an OH attached to a carbon backbone over here. Now, the first one I will focus on is an OH group. And my goal in my video is to give you an overview of the major functional groups that you might see attached to carbon backbones that make the molecules interesting biologically. ![]() We spent some time talking about hydrocarbons and hydrocarbons are interesting especially if you want to combust things, if you want some fuel, but now we're going to make things a little bit more interesting by adding things to the hydrocarbons and the things we're gonna add we call functional groups. ![]() ![]() In an odd twist of fate, Super Mario 64 never actually featured ‘?’ blocks. This LEGO version is more similar to the ‘?’ block design first found in Super Mario Galaxy. Like many aspects of the Mario games, its design has been iterated upon over the years. In fact, the goody-filled block debuted in the very first Super Mario Game. As icons of the Mario series of games go, the ‘?’ Block appeared in pretty much every game. It’s also very different from the NES set from last year. ![]() A large item box from the Mario games is as far from a castle as you can get. With all the rumours of Princess Peach’s Castle being the next D2C Nintendo, when I opened my package from Billund, I was super surprised. Set Name: Super Mario 64 Question Mark Block.For interactive play, add a LEGO® Mario™ or LEGO® Luigi™ figure from the 71360/71387 Starter Courses (sold separately) and collect 10 hidden Power Stars to reveal secret reactions and more. There are also 10 microfigures of iconic characters to place in the detailed scenes.Ī great gift for any Super Mario fan, the set comes with step-by-step building instructions. Twenty-five years on from the launch of the Super Mario 64 video game, this set features a brick-built ? Block that opens to reveal instantly recognizable levels from the game: Peach’s Castle, Bob-omb Battlefield, Cool, Cool Mountain and Lethal Lava Land. Rekindle fond memories as you build, display and play with the LEGO® Super Mario 64™ ? Block (71395). So let’s break this brick-built block open and see what’s inside in my review of the Super Mario 64 ‘?’ Block set. But that’s not the only secrets to be found inside the iconic piece of Mario memorabilia. Although a microscale castle is featured in the new set, it’s actually housed with a giant ‘?’ block. Rumours of a second D2C set have been rife for a while now with many assuming it would be a microscale version of Princess Peach’s Royal Castle. But one of the most memorable LEGO moments so far has been the incredible brick-built Nintendo Entertainment System, that is until now. In recent times Mario has made the leap from pixel to brick in the LEGO Super Mario range of sets, which allow you to bring levels to life with a series of expansion sets. The iconic platforming plumber has even found time for a spot of tennis, the occasional kick-a-bout and plenty of high-speed racing. Whether he’s basking in Sunshine, blasting across the Galaxy or simply on an Odyssey, Mario has been delighting gamers for over 35 years. ![]() ![]() ![]() Sudo firewall-cmd -zone="public" -add-forward-port=port=4380:proto=udp:toport=1025-65355 -permanent Set up your ruleset: sudo firewall-cmd -zone="public" -add-service=ssh -permanent If you ever import new rules into your firewall in the future, be sure to reconfigure iptables-persistent again afterward: sudo dpkg-reconfigure iptables-persistent Pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destinationĠ 0 ACCEPT all - lo any anywhere anywhereĠ 0 REJECT all - !lo any localhost/8 anywhere reject-with icmp-port-unreachableĠ 0 ACCEPT icmp - any any anywhere anywhere state NEW icmp echo-requestĠ 0 ACCEPT tcp - any any anywhere anywhere state NEW tcp dpt:sshĠ 0 ACCEPT udp - any any anywhere anywhere udp dpts:27000:27030Ġ 0 ACCEPT udp - any any anywhere anywhere udp dpt:4380Ġ 0 ACCEPT all - any any anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHEDĠ 0 LOG all - any any anywhere anywhere limit: avg 3/min burst 5 LOG level debug prefix "iptables_INPUT_denied: "Ġ 0 REJECT all - any any anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-port-unreachableĬhain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)Ġ 0 LOG all - any any anywhere anywhere limit: avg 3/min burst 5 LOG level debug prefix "iptables_FORWARD_denied: "Ĭhain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 60 packets, 8304 bytes) The output should look similar to: Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes) If iptables-persistent was already installed, reconfigure the package so that it recognizes your new rulesets: sudo dpkg-reconfigure iptables-persistentĬonfirm that your firewall rules are active: sudo iptables -vL If you don’t install this software, your firewall rules will not persist through reboots of your Linode.

![]() ![]() The latest aspect of this collaboration lies in its being a two-way street. It is therefore not surprising that MB&F asked Edouard Meylan to take part as a “friend” to help create a Performance Arts piece. – notably supplying MB&F’s balance springs. The brands have in fact been working together for more than ten years, with Precision Engineering AG – a sister company of H. Moser x MB&F model comes in a steel case topped by Funky Blue, Cosmic Green, Burgundy, Off-White or Ice Blue dials, all of the fumé variety. Available in five different versions, the Endeavour Cylindrical Tourbillon H. And to preserve the purity and elegance of this true work of horological art, we have inscribed our logo like a watermark on the sapphire subdial, thereby underlining the personal character and intimate relationship binding it to its owner”. As Edouard Meylan explains: “We have Moserized the MB&F universe by developing a sapphire subdial, which melts into the background so as to highlight the beauty of our fumé dials. This is inclined at 40° so that the owner of the watch is the only one to whom it reveals the secret of time, and mounted on a conical gear train ensuring optimal torque transmission from one plane to the other. has adopted for its hour and minute subdial. Due to its specific shape, the cylindrical balance spring is far more difficult to produce and takes ten times longer to make than a traditional balance spring.Īnother reference to MB&F’s identity lies in the tilted dials, which H. Fitted with a Breguet overcoil at both attachment points, the cylindrical balance spring reduces pivot friction and greatly improves isochronism. This gives it a significant advantage over the flat balance spring, whose opposite ends tend to exert forces on the pivots, despite the Philips or Breguet terminal curves which were specifically developed to partially correct the non-concentric opening of the balance spring. ![]() Commonly used in historical marine chronometers at the time, it offers the advantage of developing concentrically, and therefore geometrically, since it works perfectly along the axis of its pivots. Invented in the 18th century, the cylindrical balance spring is reminiscent of a worm- or corkscrew, rising perpendicularly around the upper rod of the balance staff. has equipped its tourbillon with a cylindrical balance spring, the same as that developed by Precision Engineering AG for MB&F’s LM Thunderdome. Benefiting from the expertise of its sister company Precision Engineering AG, H. has borrowed from MB&F the concept of three-dimensional movements, a strong element of the Geneva Maison’s identity, protected by a sapphire dome and featuring a one-minute flying tourbillon that rises above the main dial through a ventricular opening appearing at 12 o’clock. ![]() ![]() ![]() How you go about choosing what works best for you depends largely on your budget and your big objectives, which is why we recommend using our Window Builder to accurately narrow down your choices.

The dynamic weather is nice but this is nothing new to car racing games. Cars can look a little pixellated on the track especially during the beginning of races where a high number of cars are all together on the screen. There are no moving crowds and certain road textures look quite bad. Visually, the game running on the PlayStation 4 looks a little dated. Adding onto that frustration is how the game is also missing a mode to test drive your car after you make the changes.Īfter fiddling with the car lets talk about the gameplay. Even though it only cost a minor 100 coins, it just baffles me who in the right mind thought this was a good idea. Whats strikes me as weird was that to change certain settings like you ride height, tire pressure, or differential, you have to purchase a car setting slot for each car that you want to change. Once an upgrade has been purchased it can be lowered or changed back with a minor fee. All found upgrades augment your driving experience ranging from your car tires, brakes to adding a turbo to your stock engine. Now before we get onto the track, let’s get our hands dirty with the tuning upgrades you can get for your car. The customization options available in Project CARS 3 is quite extensive that you can have your personalized dream car in this game. ![]() It was nice to see some official decals and paint jobs from official car licensors like having the old school Panda colours on the Toyota GT-86. Project CARS 3 gives quite an amount of customization for your character and automobile. Grease Monkey “The customization options given in Project CARS 3 are plenty that you can have your personalized dream car in this game” Higher difficulty AI just has better acceleration and at times it feels like they are cheating to get ahead. ![]() Turning the AI difficulty up does little to improve this. They do act aggressively and try to ramp you of the track sometimes but they still act predictably and easily abuse around the corners. The AI drivers in this game is a little better than those found in Gran Turismo. Player settings are displayed on the Rivals leaderboard. I advise players to take some time to configure your game’s driving assist to get the driving feeling that you want. Though it seems like a good way to level up faster, inexperienced drivers will find it hard to even take a corner without locking up your break or spinning out. To my surprise, this function was not only for show but also boosts your experience gain to help you level up faster. You are allowed to do a lot of adjustments from the game’s AI, to turning off visual or any sort of computer-assisted aid like traction control. Tuning Your Settings “Take some time to configure your game’s driving assist” The game does a good job showing what settings a player uses to set the record for example either using a controller or wheel or with ABS on or off. Setting a good time will land you on the online leaderboards with a ranking system. Players who are looking for more competitive gameplay can try out the Rivals mode which lets you race in either daily, weekly, or monthly time trial events. You can also use your customized cars from Career mode for a spin here. If you in for a quick race, Custom Event mode allows you to play every map and every car in the game without the need to unlock them. “Setting a good time will land you on the online leaderboards with a ranking system.” Coming from Gran Turismo, it is a great feeling not to have to go through all the license taking that we have to do before getting behind the wheel but hold that thought until later. This leads to more events, better cars, and customization. You start off playing with a lower end racing car as you work your way up through races to gain levels and cash. Like many racing games out there, the formula is mostly set in stone. Project CARS 3 features a few game modes with Career being the main single-player component. So when the chance came to try Slightly Mad Studio s‘ latest Project CARS 3, I knew I had to give this game a spin. I have been a fan of driving games since the day of the original Need for Speed and have since moved to other games like Gran Turismo. ![]() |
