![]() This is one reason why I chose NEAR Protocol as my favority blockchain platform.Īnother argument that gets mentioned often is that Non Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are bad. However there are other consensus algorithms, that don't have these problems like Proof of Stake. I have also the opinion, that PoW can be easily abused and hard to regulate where the energy that flows in comes from. This is however only true for blockchains that use Proof of Work (PoW) as its consensus algorithm. What people most refer to is the immense amount of energy the blockchain requires to operate. ![]() Many people try to stop what blockchain stands for and if you don't take a deeper look into the technology, you can soon develop a bad attitude towards blockchain. I think this comes from a misinformation about blockchain in general. Several people have already told me, that this is not a good idea and actively tried to stop me. If you go to the website, the first thing that will catch your attention will be the blockchain integration. Since the Switch console was selling much better than the Wii U, this also flourished the homebrew ecosystem and other people almost had everything reverse engineered, that I needed to know.Īfter waiting for several years now it is time to move forward and do what I wanted to do and this is why I start a new project called Shroom Kingdom. In the meantime Super Mario Maker 2 came out, so I was thrilled to work on SMMDB again and implement proper support for it. Since the Rust gaming ecosystem was still relatively immature at the time, I postponed the idea and devoted myself to other projects, namely Net64+ and afterwards sm64js. ![]() Learning Rust filled me with joy, which I have never felt using another language, but let's keep it like that. As a developer with a background mainly in frontend development and due to my love for performance, I started experimenting early with these technologies and soon became interested in the Rust programming language. These technologies specifically are WebAssembly and WebGL/WebGPU. With modern HTML5 technologies it is nowadays possible to create games with near native performance. The idea I initially had when I started 2017 with SMMDB was to make Super Mario Maker usable on emulators, but I soon had the idea of making it playable in your browser. This is also why SMMDB and Net64 exist now for several years and are still in use. I'm a software engineer with a passion for my side projects. My future plans of developmentHi, my name is Mario! To use all features on this website it is recommended to sign in with Google.Īll content on this website is user-created. SMMDB also features courses for Super Mario 64 Maker, a popular ROM hack by Kaze Emanuar. For Cemu, a Wii U emulator, there is even a save file editor. SMMDB will let you search for courses and tries to convert incompatible courses as good as possible. Several Wii U courses can't even be played on 3DS because of incompatibility. Super Mario Maker for 3DS has no option to search for courses. It enriches gameplay especially for platforms with minor support from Nintendo, which includes 3DS and emulators. SMMDB can be used as a compatibility layer between those platform. Supported platforms for Super Mario Maker 1 are Wii U, 3DS and Cemu. Super Mario Maker 2 courses can finally be uploaded as well! Welcome to SMMDB!SMMDB is the only cross console/emulator sharing platform for Super Mario Maker and Super Mario Maker 2 courses.

Related: George Clinton Dubs Thundercat, Flying Lotus, Kendrick Lamar “The New Generation Of Funk Musicians” Martin and Glasper also recently released a new live record with their collaborative project, R+R=Now. Last year, he linked up with Glasper, Washington, and 9th Wonder as Dinner Partyfor a pair of collaborative LPs, Dinner Party and Dinner Party: Dessert. As Kamasi Washington said in an Instagram post directed at Martin, which called DRONES a “masterpiece,” “This album is so beautiful! You’ve always been ahead of the game but wow, this one is on another level! Thank you for always pushing the music forward.” Glasper, who echoed Washington’s sentiments in a post of his own, noted that Martin had been working on DRONES for several years as he continued to pump out other material.ĭRONES marks the producer’s first solo project since 2016’s Velvet Portraits, though he has released several albums with various collaborative projects in the interim. The album arrived on a wave of praise on Friday.

![]() The latest #AgeOfEmpiresIIDE update has arrived, featuring infantry-focused balance changes, new cheat codes, and… Wait for it… The Second Anniversary Event! Get ready to unlock SO. There are two major areas covered by this system – economic and military – which let you tweak stats for things like villagers’ gathering rate speed, build speed, villager HP, and starting resources on the former’s side, and building HP, counter units’ bonus damage, and military buildings’ work rate on the latter’s. From the devs’ preview in the patch notes, it looks like you’ll get a choice of pitting two, three, or four against the AI, and you can set options for its difficulty – with the example given being ‘extreme’.Įlsewhere, the new player handicap system for custom lobbies lets you “even the odds between friends of different skill levels” by buffing a player by up to a factor of two for a number of stats to “allow a more balanced and fun experience in lobby matches”. The new Quick Play vs AI feature is a neat addition that does exactly what its name says – it lets you dive into the mode, which is designed to let you set up certain types of games and matchmake more easily and quickly, and battle it out against an AI-controlled foe rather than using the existing human multiplayer option. It’s worth noting these are still tagged as ‘beta’ for now as the devs are continuing to monitor player feedback and make changes to co-op campaigns. There aren’t any details on what these are exactly in the patch notes, with only the various mission names listed, but now they’re live you can always go get stuck in if you’re keen to find out, stat. ![]() The first features five missions, while the latter features six. The two new co-op campaigns are called Tariq ibn Ziyad and Tamerlane. The RTS game’s two-year anniversary bash is now live, and it brings new co-op campaigns, Quick Play vs AI matchmaking, a new player handicap system for custom lobbies, and a ton more besides. Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition debuted two whole years ago this week and, to mark the occasion, Forgotten Empires has launched a huge anniversary update jammed with a load of new content and changes. ![]()
![]() The game was praised for its AI, but condemned for feeling outdated despite extra production time and failing to solve the problems it so blatantly had with new and old features. ![]() Despite its improvements over its predecessor, the delay in production (nearly 2 years after the deadline) failed to compensate for the overwhelming problems it proved to have upon release. Old problems that outweigh old solutionsĪs a whole, Condition Zero remained on par with the previous title. ![]() Players found themselves frustrated with the bot presence in the online mode, and even worse, to go to an offline mode that was boring in comparison. Additionally, the offline modes only remained a lackluster change to the game as a whole. The graphical updates remained a plus for players while the online play was a separate problem. While Counter-Strike: Condition Zero was an improvement in the series, the game faced more problems than it initially solved. However, not all that glitters is actually gold Released for Windows in 2004, the game features online and offline modes, as well as multiple ways to play. They have custom animations and features like sunglasses, badges etc. This clothing pack was removed from Deleted Scenes mode and reapplied to Counter-Strike: Condition Zero. It was the original follow-up to the infamously popular game Counter-Strike that struck a chord with fans everywhere. CS:CZ is a tactical action game that challenges you to compete with and against cunning computerized opponents in a Tour of Duty across the globe. Old is gold, and Counter-Strike is no differentĬounter-Strike: Condition Zero is the first-person shooter game made by Ritual Entertainment, Valve, Sierra Entertainment, and many other studios. ![]() The cheapest (and smallest) is their Skeletal Dragon by Bob Olley, which can serve as the Zombie Dragon. However, if you are willing to fork out the cash, Reaper Miniatures make a number of undead dragons that can be used for these. The Zombie Dragon and the Dracolich require huge models, so replacing them with metal miniatures can be expensive. Heresy and Wyrd Miniatures both produce nice Flesh Golem models that can be used for Castle Ravenloft, but my personal favourite is the one by Reaper, which is closest in conception to the Golem in the game, who relies primarily on brute strength when attacking (with a Slam that does 2 damage and throws the player 'deeper into the dungeon'). Three of the Villains (the Flesh Golem, Zombie Dragon and Dracolich) require larger models.Ī number of companies have made Flesh Golems. Kobold Command Pack from Otherworld Miniatures with a Chieftain, a Shaman and three other Kobolds The excellent paint job on this miniature is by krysset80 from the Forum of Doom. Unfortunately, this werewolf has been named Ollie ("Ollie? Thats a terrible name for a werewolf").īut somehow, Ollie does not seem as threatening as the werewolf from Otherworld Miniatures, maybe because he just looks a lot more well-fed. Heresy also make a Werewolf figure, in their unique style.įenris Games also make a Werewolf Berserker miniature, which can be used for the part, although it is 36mm high and possibly a little on the large side. These are Klak, the Kobold Sorceror, for which the Kobold Shaman from their Kobold Command pack can be used, and the Werewolf (from the Wilderness Encounters line). Two of them can be represented by miniatures from Otherworld. There are eight Villains in Castle Ravenloft. The cheapest option is Reaper, and this is probably the best one too as you probably would not want to spend too much money on a rat swarm. There are a number of manufacturers that produce Rat Swarm miniatures including Games Workshop, Reaper and Freebooter. Also, if you want a third Wraith (since the Otherworld pack only comes with two), there is a Heresy Wraith that can be purchased as a single figure.Īnother Monster encountered in Castle Ravenloft is the Rat Swarm. My recommendation would be to use Heresy figures for the Ghouls and Zombies, and Otherworld for all the others. However, Heresy does go for an exaggerated, comic-book style in its sculpting, which may not be to everyone's taste. They are also cheaper, although the quality of their sculpting is superb, and, in my humble opinion, superior to that of the Otherworld Ghouls. The Heresy Ghouls have more character than those from Otherworld, and include a set of running/crawling Ghouls. Otherworld also make Kobolds, Gargoyles, Wolves and a set of Large Spiders.Ī set of wolves from Otherworld MiniaturesĪn alternative is offered by Heresy Miniatures, which produces Zombies, Ghouls and a Wraith. Except for the Wraiths, these are all conveniently provided in batches of three, with the added advantage of not all being identical.Ī trio of Skeletons from Otherworld Miniatures They produce Skeleton, Zombie, Wraith and Ghoul miniatures, all ideal for use in Castle Ravenloft. Otherworld Miniatures makes an excellent range (designed to capture the imagery of Dungeons and Dragons in the first place) that can be used for these. Most of the Monsters in the game are Undead. Three kinds of miniatures are provided with the Castle Ravenloft game - Monsters, Villains and Heroes (Villains are essentially unique Monsters who are harder to defeat). If he has his back to you, wait until he's out of sight of the guard sitting at the desk (so that he won't notice you killing the patrol guard with your silencer pistol). A guard may be facing you (depending on the length of time it's taken you so far to reach this area). ![]() It will be easier to access the elevator if you kill him (and since he's the only one in the area), it's almost impossible to mess up and become overwhelmed by other guards. Look through the keyhole and wait until the guard walking up the steps is away from you. Make sure to kill him or you'll regret it later. Walk to the right and wait for the guard patrolling the alley, follow him on his way back. Just don't get caught jumping out of the truck and you'll be fine. Wait until the pair of guards have their backs faced you and be sure that you're walking normally ? or else you'll be fired upon. Shortly after reaching the next area, pull up the map and analyze the movements of the guards before jumping out. Jump into the truck and crouch in the back out of the sight of any guards who may detect you. Make your way around the crates and pick up the gear. It's best to take him out as well, instead of trying to run around in a stealth-like fashion. Take his clothes and drag him back to the manhole area, out of sight of the patrolling guard located in the north region. Wait until the guard's back is facing you, then use whatever means of putting him into an unconscious state (I chose the silencer pistol, again). ![]() Climb up the ladder, but be sure to check that the guards aren't patrolling directly over the manhole. Open up the map and located the red arrow and proceed across the sewer walkway until you reach the opening which leads to the surface. ![]() He fell down at the sudden movement and shuffled backward on his hands and feet, drops of sweat beading on his forehead despite the cool air. Metal ground against metal a lurching shudder shook the floor beneath him. “He began his new life standing up, surrounded by cold darkness and stale, dusty air. For example, when Thomas first wakes up in Box, the thing that’s bringing him to the Glade, the author used lots of detail so that the reader can feel his panic and fear. Most of the events in the story were quite easy to visualize because the author, James Dashner, uses lots of details and does a good job of describing what was happening. It’s so full of action and surprises that there is never a slow or dull moment. I absolutely love this book! I think that it’s very well written and the plot is super captivating! I love the characters so much, particularly Newt, the second in command of the Glade. I do not believe that the purpose was to teach us anything or to inform the reader of anything in particular. The author’s purpose is to entertain the reader with a very interesting story. Minho laughed, then raised the palm of his hand and shoved Gally in the face” (pages 161-162). ‘Say one more thing like that and I’ll break your neck, right here in front of everybody.’ Spit flew from his mouth as he spoke. ![]() You don’t have the right to talk about things you don’t understand. “‘Gally,’ Minho said in a calmer voice, ‘you’re nothing but a sissy who has never, not once, asked to be a Runner or tried out for it. I like this part because I think it’s funny how they act so childish, despite being around 16 years old. It is very difficult to choose a favourite part of this book, but one of my favourites was when Minho and Gally got into an argument and started acting like 5-year-olds. There are many secondary characters such as Minho, Newt, Alby, Chuck, Gally and Frypan. She and Thomas become quite close and work together while in the Glade. She is very smart and analytical she likes to think things through. She has raven black hair and piercing blue eyes. She, like Thomas, seems to be about 16 years old. Teresa is another main character, she is the girl that was sent up in the box. He is also a very curious guy, he likes to ask lots of questions and hates when people don’t answer or don’t tell him the whole truth. However, despite being smart, he tends to act irrationally and not think things through before he makes choices. He looks about 16 years old (his age is also erased from memory) and he has brown hair and eyes. He, like everyone else in the Glade, is unable to remember the past. Thomas is the main character in the book. Now the Gladers need to find a way out before it’s too late. As the book goes on, Thomas continues to uncover the terrifying truth of the maze and the reason they were sent there. It was like clockwork until the day after Thomas arrives the first-ever girl is sent to the Glade, and she carries a very strange message: “Everything is going to change” (page 57). Thomas discovers that every month, a new boy is sent there. He soon finds out that the boys, who call themselves “the Gladers”, had been there for two years already, trying to find a way out. When he arrives at the Glade, a large field of crops and trees, he is surrounded by 50 teenage boys who also can’t remember their past. Thomas, the main protagonist of the story, finds himself trapped in a huge maze with absolutely no memories of his past, other than his first name. The mood or tone of the book is suspenseful with some hope here and there. The story is told from a third-person limited point of view. The book is set in a giant inescapable maze, in the distant future.
