This is it.Īn all-new 500+ page novel from the King is being released on August 3, 2021!!! My preorder has arrived! I can't believe I am starting my most anticipated book of the year!!!īrace yourselves, Constant Readers. I promise! I am so far behind on reviews right now. I promise I will write a review for this. An all-new 500+ page novel from the King is being released on August 3, 2021!!! This sounds like a taut thriller, with no doubt a healthy dose of dark themes, and I'm so here for it!!! Preorder placed. It's insanity! Full review to come.stay tuned!!! Earlier: My preorder has arrived! I can't believe I am starting my most anticipated book of the year!!! Original: Brace yourselves, Constant Readers. HUGE warning for graphic depictions of violence, sexual assault, and post-assault trauma.more The (sort of) romance felt weird for numerous reasons, even with Billy openly acknowledging them. It's a compelling plot with strong characters, especially the eponymous protagonist, and an overall quite touching message about what it is to be a writer, the freedom it offers, as well as the ability to shape worlds to your liking. The scenes in Fallujah were less gripping for me, simply because I've never had much interest in war stories. I "enjoyed" reading about Billy as a child and adolescent, if enjoyed can be the word. What emerges is a tragic history, of course. Alongside befriending his neighbours and beginning to feel shittier and shittier for deceiving them, Billy really does begin to write a book. I found Billy likeable, the kind of character who will do the morally questionable stuff to survive, and punish those who deserve it, but still stays quite firmly on the hero side of antihero, in my opinion. His cover is that he is an author writing a book. It requires him to play a role for a duration of weeks, or even months, and befriend his neighbours, before his target is in sight. Billy Summers is a hired killer set to retire and disappear into obscurity after he completes this one last job, but it's a job like no other. The writing and dialogue are strong, as I would expect from King at this point. Here he takes a trope that is almost a subgenre in itself - that of the "one last job" spy/detective/assassin - acknowledges it in the text and invites us on his own exploration of it. Sometimes King dives in with a creative (and often wacky) plot with lots of original touches (think It, Pet Sematary, Sleeping Beauties) but he's also a pro at taking on tired subjects and breathing new life into them. I can't say I liked everything about Billy Summers, but I did find myself reaching for it whenever I had a spare minute, eager to know what was next for this rugged antihero with his closet full of trauma. Sometimes King dives in with a creative (and often wacky) plot with lots of original touches (think It, Pet Sematary, Sleeping Beauties) but he's also a pro at taking on tired A stranger came, and he turned into a neighbour, but here's the punchline, he turned out to be a stranger all along.

I foresee it saturating every aspect of my workflow, whether that be sequencing the beginnings of an idea on my laptop backstage at a show in Tokyo, to tracking final vocals in my home studio in Minnesota, to handing off a mix session to an A List mixer and letting him put the icing on the cake… Pro Tools is a tremendously inspiring environment that allows my music to write itself, and like a wonderstruck fisherman, and all I have to do is stand on the shore and wait for something big to happen.” [ Damian Taylor, Producer-Engineer-Programmer-Mixer (Björk, U.N.K.L.E., The Prodigy) Which means I can toss my laptop into my tour bag, hit the road and record, produce, engineer and mix from anywhere in the world. I’m quite impressed that Pro Tools no longer requires a dedicated Avid (or literally any) hardware interface to operate. I tend to write, produce, engineer and mix as I go via nonlinear sequences, and the ability to go back and change things within Pro Tools when necessary is unbelievable. “Pro Tools is an absolutely critical part of my creative process. What does this mean? We asked six producers, engineers and working musicians - some of whom could barely contain their excitement - to break it down for us. Facing pressure from innovations adopted by other software and hardware developers, (like Apple’s Logic, the professional version of Garageband, which comes with every Mac) and a changing media environment where content creation has shifted toward everyday consumers, it looks like Avid finally listened to its base and gave the customers what they wanted at a price they can afford ($599 for the full version). But because of cumbersome and exorbitantly expensive hardware, which was a requirement in all eight of its previous incarnations, that couldn’t work with any third-party hardware and crippled feature sets forcing users to pay for options that other programs offered for free, complaints and criticisms have been mounting for years.
I downloaded it by cloning the Everdrive folder to my Megasync folder and letting it sync with my PC, and reconnecting my internet every time I get the limit reached message. Mega (without premium) has a download limit of 5 GB per 6 hours per IP. I converted the torrent file to a magnet link: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:f36012c79151b2a3b759c6dd66a340e56ebefaf8&dn=NoIntro2018 You need a free account to be able to download these files, or you will get a "item not available" message. If you need a torrent client, qBittorrent is recommended. Obviously only use if torrenting is legal in your country, or with a VPN.

These are duplicate roms that are already in the base pack, and an optional download for some systems because of the size. This also includes the "Game Series Collections" (by tjstogy), which is a heavily sorted and curated folder structure by genres, developers, best-of lists and more. This pack in addition to the official roms also includes notable romhacks, translations and homebrew in their own folders. However it also includes zipped region add-on packs that add back all roms of that region. It includes only 1 version of every game, the US version being preferred, with the addition of exclusives from other regions. This pack focuses on sorting and being ready to use (with flashcards, but obviously works with emulators). Includes all different existing official versions of every game, but no romhacks, translations or homebrew. To save you that trouble I wanted to share the links.įull collection of every clean dump of every real cartridge. That's what I thought, so I went through Google, Reddit, Torrents and trying to find the newest possible versions of these romsets, since they still regularly get additions or corrections. You used to be able to just download single roms from reliable websites whenever you wanted one, but since rom sites are getting shut down left and right it might be better to just get a full set to archive yourself locally. Make no mistake: This is a narrative, not a game. In Allumette, you act as the camera, exploring the gorgeously drawn world however you please - even ignoring the main storyline, if you so desire. Penrose Studios’ free-to-play, stop-motion VR film experience chronicling the story of a young girl in a cloud-borne village is absolutely breathtaking. It sounds like you've done a quite a few troubleshooting steps already, so please out to our support so we can look into getting this resolved for you. Hey ewizard, sorry to hear that you've come across troubles setting up your Oculus Quest. I would like to see a power off feature inside the headset instead of pressing and holding the button to shut down. App is same on phone as it is within headset. I would like to see a complete browse all feature so you can scroll through every game available - not sure if I missed it. Beat saber is crazy good! Also, the oculus app has no lag or issues and you can find the games easy. I hope more become available soon and that more become cross play as I have an oculus rift also and would enjoy some of those games on the quest as well. While the battery life will last about 4 hours, it’s still good enough because you don’t want to be in it too long. Developers should please add this to the help with setting up an oculus quest. It turns out it was an issue where the iPhone required an iOS update and once I did that, it paired no problem. Okay, I finally got past the pairing issue I had where the oculus quest refused to pair. Updated review and Fix for pairing oculus quest AAAAND be prepared to have more problems if you create a new account for said child, as they may get flagged as a fake account if you’re creating your child’s account just for the Oculus Quest which can be banned and lose access to all purchases. On that same note be prepared for MANY problems if you buy a headset for a child as they will need their own Facebook account, which is AGAINST Facebook’s TOS if said child is younger than 13. This app REFUSES, ABSOLUTELY REFUSES to let you use it without your phone’s Bluetooth turned on making a VERY simple task of allowing to you browse the oculus digital shop the most task possible with its REPEATED demands that you turn on Bluetooth.Īlso to anyone that may want to purchase a headset for their family to use, Facebook does NOT allow multiple accounts on a single headset. Take a good long look at Xbox Live, PSN, or even the iOS app store and model your services after the best of each of them and the Quest will be even more of a hit.įor a socially focused platform, you’re not able to share links to games in any form, making it difficult to get friends into games you may think they like. Make it easier to buy/share games and I assure you if you fixed these issues you would see a marked improvement in software sales, as well as go a long way to making your customers happier and less frustrated. Currently this process is extremely clunky and inconvenient. I would also like to be able to buy games from my phone/account for the other headsets in the family. How has this feature gone missing? Seems like a no brainer. I can click the share icon and share however I like. Nearly every other app on the iOS app store has this functionality as it is built right in to their API. This seems like a huge oversight from a company owned by Facebook who basically invented the share button. Often I want to show a game I’m looking at with friends and family, and there just isn’t any convenient way from inside the app. My one big gripe is that there is no easy way for me to share a link to games in the Oculus store right from the app. Ok, I love the Quest and the app for that matter.
