![]() ![]() Ghost Signal: A Stellaris Game is available now for Meta Quest 2.N2 - Signaling theory is useful for describing behavior when two parties (individuals or organizations) have access to different information. This review is based on a digital download code provided by the publisher. It’s satisfying gameplay loop was enough to keep me moving through Sectors and upgrading the Aurora, but I’m just not sure it warrants being an exclusive VR experience. Ghost Signal: A Stellaris Game presents a neat take on the popular sci-fi universe that’s easy to understand and challenging throughout. I appreciated the fact the game can be played while seated, but it doesn’t feel like Ghost Signal would play all that differently if it was on an Xbox or PlayStation. Since Stellaris is a very zoomed out, large-scale strategy experience, I was hoping that Ghost Signal would be more of an intimate experience. It would be awesome if Ghost Signal allowed me to physically grab a flight stick and steer my ship, or get a first-person view from within the Aurora’s cockpit as enemy ships try to crash into me. You can grab and drag the landscape to properly readjust, which is fun when you place yourself in the center of the action, but that’s about as far as the immersion goes. Playing with a third-person view, you primarily command the Aurora using buttons and analog sticks. The combat in Ghost Signal was enjoyable and I found myself getting into a comfortable rhythm of destroying ships, gathering Scrap, and upgrading the Aurora, I couldn’t help but feel like it was lacking in overall immersion. While on your own adventure, you can find the destroyed remains of other players’ ships and gather resources from them. There are global and local leaderboards that show how you stack up against friends and other players around the world. While you can’t directly team up with or face other players, Ghost Signal has a few features that make you feel less than alone in the vast loneliness of space. When you stop at shops along a Sector, you can by upgrades to your hull, shields, and weapons. Using the left hand controller, you can scan resources to gather and store them in your inventory. This is done through destroying enemy ships and asteroids. To upgrade the Aurora, you need to collect Scrap and other resources during your adventure. The three types of attacks are suited to damage different ships and armor types, and quickly swapping between them is the key to mastering combat. The triggers are used to fire standard ammunition, lasers, and missiles. The buttons are used to plot out a directional path and activate boosts. Playing on the Meta Quest 2, the two controllers are used to guide the ship and fire weapons. In battle, you command the Aurora as enemies attack the ship in real-time. Deciding how to chart your path through a Sector in a way that isn’t overwhelmingly challenging but remains beneficial and efficient is part of the strategy. This includes standard battles, shops, bosses, and more. You’re given the choice to take different paths through a Sector, which will bring you to a range of different encounters. In Ghost Signal, you make your way through different Sectors. During my adventure, I used the logbook to register information about the variety of creatures in space as I endeavored to learn more about them and uncover the source of the signal. This included my robotic companion that provided exposition and information about the universe. While I wasn’t all that invested in the Ghost Signal and its source, I did enjoy jumping through space and interacting with various creatures, both friend and foe. When it comes to adventure, sometimes the journey is more important than the destination. Thus begins a treacherous journey across space as you navigate asteroid fields and waves of enemies. After receiving a mystery signal, a Ghost Signal, if you will, you’re tasked with finding its source. Ghost Signal: A Stellaris Game finds players as the captain of the Aurora, a small but mighty ship traveling through the galaxy. Ghost Signal: A Stellaris Game is a VR action roguelite developed by Fast Travel Games that succeeds at providing a fresh take on the Stellaris universe, but doesn’t fully take advantage of the unique medium of VR. Now, the Stellaris universe is growing with a spin-off title from a new developer. Stellaris is a large name in the strategy game genre, as Paradox’s sci-fi game has continued to grow and expand since its 2016 launch. ![]() ![]() ![]() This is the iPad version of the award-winning business card scanning application, WorldCard Mobile.

![]() “We’re monitoring the situation at Northeastern and we’re ready to work with the university and our law enforcement partners on any prosecutions that may develop,” Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden said, promising “a comprehensive investigation to determine exactly what occurred here.” Boston police didn’t say whether any other suspicious packages were found. Michael Davis, chief of Northeastern’s police force, told reporters the campus was secure. Beaudet told the station his class was moved outside but that neither he nor his students heard an explosion. WCVB-TV said one of its reporters, Mike Beaudet, was teaching a class there at the time. Northeastern is a private university in downtown Boston with about 16,000 undergraduate students. Police converged on the campus shortly before 7:30 p.m., and the university asked students who had gathered for an evening journalism class at the hall to evacuate the building. Felipe Colon, a Boston police superintendent, later described the victim as a 45-year-old man. It said the FBI was assisting the investigation.Īuthorities declined to elaborate, but Northeastern spokesperson Shannon Nargi said in a statement that an unidentified university staff member suffered minor injuries to his hand in the explosion. NBC Boston reported that the package that exploded went off as it was being opened near the university’s Holmes Hall, which is home to the university’s creative writing program and its women’s, gender and sexuality studies program. Boston’s bomb squad neutralized a second package near the city’s Museum of Fine Arts, which is on the outskirts of the Northeastern campus. The parcel that blew up was one of two that were reported to police early in the evening. He said passengers could stay on board or leave the plane - to go to the bathroom, stretch their legs and get food - but that they couldn’t get beyond security in the terminal.Authorities said another suspicious package was found near a prominent art museum and the FBI was assisting with the investigation. Teresa Greene of Jupiter Farms had just landed aboard her Delta Airlines flight from Asheville, N.C., when its captain came out to say what was happening on the first floor of the airport. Passengers coped with the delays, some with patience and others with frustration. “They felt there was a threat and they acted accordingly,” spokeswoman Teri Barbera said. ![]() ![]() Congestion along Florida Mango Road just north of PBIA was so bad at one point that a driver got out of his car and began directing traffic himself.Ī Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office spokesman would not discuss what prompted officials to close the airport, other than to say that officials felt there was enough of a concern to do do. Terminal-based employees of the airlines serving PBIA were ordered outside during the evacuation.Ĭars were not allowed into the airport during the shutdown, a move that backed up traffic along perimeter roads such as Belvedere Road, Congress Avenue, Australian Avenue and Southern Boulevard, and also on southbound Interstate 95 near Belvedere and Southern. Inbound flights were allowed to land but kept on the tarmac, the sheriff’s office said. ![]() Some outbound flights from the airport were delayed because passengers could not get to them. ![]() ![]() I need to buy a new TV, my old one is knackered. I stayed up late last night and now I’m knackered. The origins of the word aren’t clear, but it’s thought to have originated from describing old workhorses that couldn’t work anymore. Knackered is usually used to mean tired but it can also be used when referring to something that’s broken or old. Not only is rubbish the British equivalent of trash, but it can also be used as a feeling or to express a negative emotion. And taking the piss can mean either to make fun of something or to be unreasonable. You might also see piss being used for pee, although that’s more vulgar. If you’re pissed off, you’re angry, but if you’re just pissed, you’re drunk. Here’s another slang word with multiple meanings. She’s in trouble for doing some dodgy business. I never liked him, I thought he looked dodgy. Dodgy can range from slightly off or questionable to full-blown illegal. And pretty much anything can be described as dodgy: a person, an object, an action, for example. If something is described as dodgy, it’s bad. It’s my round, what do you want to drink? A round refers to when you take it in turns buying drinks for everyone in the group instead of all buying drinks separately. And that’s where you’ll most likely hear this slang word: round. Not only do Brits love drinking tea, but they’re also known for enjoying a few drinks in the pub, too. He got into university, he’s absolutely chuffed. ![]() So, if you hear a British person say they’re feeling chuffed, you can safely assume it’s positive. According to the dictionary, it can also mean the exact opposite-that is, unhappy or displeased-but that version is rarely used these days. ChuffedĬhuffed, always used in past tense, means to be happy or pleased about something, usually something you’ve achieved. And, just to make things extra confusing, to be nicked or to get nicked means to be arrested.ĭon’t leave your car unlocked, it’ll get nicked. The noun, the nick, means a prison whereas the verb, to nick, means to steal. The nick, to nick, and to get nicked all have slightly different but related meanings. Mate means friend and can be used to refer to someone you know, but you can also use it when informally addressing a stranger. Here’s another UK slang word that doesn’t need too much explanation. ![]() Bonus: it’s used a lot in Australia, too! It’s another slang word that’s been around for a while with uses found in the 1600s, and it was even considered a swear word until the 1900s. Bloody is an adverb used to show anger or surprise. Next up is a British slang word that most people around the world would have heard of and one that’s frequently used in everyday life. Although it’s short for “cup of,” it’s only ever really used to mean “cup of tea.”įirst thing I do every morning is make myself a cuppa. There’s evidence of it being used back in the early 1900s so it’s not new slang, but it’s stuck. This slang word came from the phrase “cup of tea” which was shortened to “cuppa tea” and eventually just cuppa. We all know the Brits love a good cup of tea, but did you know that tea can also be called a cuppa. Top British Slang Words, Including Cockney Rhyming Slang 1. So, if you want to sound like a real Brit, incorporate these words into your vocab and you’ll fit right in no time. If you’re heading to the UK, you might hear all kinds of words in informal speech which you’d never hear in the U.S. It changes with new words entering everyday use all the time. Ever wondered what the difference is between US and UK English? Apart from everyday words-like trainers instead of sneakers and holiday instead of vacation-you’ll see the most difference in the slang. ![]() ![]() ![]() Nearby was one of the earliest Angelfood McSpade stories, and the original drawing of HEAD, a sort of infinitely fractalized series of pipes and wires shown in the cutaway view of a doper’s head: a tinhorn amplifier for an ear, a camera and flashbulb for an eye, a dripping faucet for a nostril. The exhibit opened with some early pages from Fritz the Cat, including a hilarious bathtub orgy scene, which was straight of the the Marx Brothers Night at the Opera. What impressed me about the Mass Art show was that it lacked some of the color pieces and big sculptures featured at other venues and was almost exclusively focused on lush black and white original pen and ink drawings, together with a big cabinet full of Crumb’s spool heads. This exhibit kicked off two years ago at the Yerba Buena Center of the Arts, and has been making the rounds from city to city, and finally seems to have drifted into Boston on a Greyhound bus, clutching an old leather bag of 78s and sinsemilla buds.

So to placate her I said ,“Let’s draw a comic together.” ![]() She was laid up with a broken foot and was pissed at me because this other girlfriend had come to see me. She had a little trailer and I lived in a cabin next door. RC: In 1972 we were living in the sticks.

I never shut up and my work doesn’t either. I was into storytelling, and I saw comics as a medium that I could handle. I studied painting, but it was the 1960s so everything was about Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art.

At my then-girlfriend’s apartment, I used to have to wade through a lot of crap. But her house was always very clean, which really impressed me. She was very wild and promiscuous and she drank and took a lot of drugs. She was this New York Jewish hippie girl. Robert Crumb: One thing is that we had great sex and another thing was that she was very funny. Aline Kominsky-Crumb, Virgin Lovin Jew!, 2007 Courtesy the artist I had met some cartoonists who said, “Oh, you’re like Honeybunch Kaminski.” People thought that he must have known me and that the character was based on me, but we had actually never met. He had done a character named Honeybunch Kaminski. I remember thinking, What a weird guy, but he made an impression. I was wearing a miniskirt and Robert said, “You have really cute knees.” I was taken aback because I thought that I had big muscular legs.

![]() ![]() When set-builder notation is employed the statement Δ= means the set of all formulae - so although the reference is to α there are two levels of indirection here, the first to the set of all α and then the second to a specific formula for each occurrence of α in the set Δ. So to move on to a more significant example, in logic the formula α can refer to any formula, so it could be β, γ, δ. In various other parts of symbolic programming there are only so many symbols. The simple example has its limitation as there are infinitely many real numbers. One could imagine objects for various numbers and then x, y and z could point to the specific numbers being used for a particular problem. To start with a simple example the variables x, y and z in an equation such as can refer to any number. When doing symbolic programming from a formal mathematical specification the use of indirection can be quite helpful. branch target buffer), which translates into an additional pipeline stage before the instruction cache. ![]() Recursive data types are usually implemented using indirection because otherwise if a value of a datatype can contain the entirety of another value of the same datatype, there is no limit to the size a value of this datatype could need. implies a level of indirection, through some form of branch target table (e.g. In strongly typed interpreted languages with dynamic datatypes, most variable references require a level of indirection: first the type of the variable is checked for safety, and then the pointer to the actual value is dereferenced and acted on. Delegation is another classic example of an indirection pattern. Higher-level examples of indirection are the design patterns of the proxy and the proxy server. The (indirection) operator dereferences the value referred to by the pointer type operand, and it is used to access the value stored in an address. Object-oriented programming makes use of indirection extensively, a simple example being dynamic dispatch. Kevlin Henney's corollary to this is, ".except for the problem of too many layers of indirection." In some older computer architectures, indirect words supported a variety of more-or-less complicated addressing modes.Ī famous aphorism of David Wheeler goes: "All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection" this is often deliberately mis-quoted with "abstraction layer" substituted for "level of indirection". A stored pointer that exists to provide a reference to an object by double indirection is called an indirection node. For example, accessing a variable through the use of a pointer. The most common form of indirection is the act of manipulating a value through its memory address. As a conversational strategy, indirectness is used more frequently in some cultures (for example, Indian. In computer programming, indirection is the ability to reference something using a name, reference, or container instead of the value itself. In disciplines that include conversation analysis, communication studies, and speech-act theory, indirectness is a way of conveying a message through hints, insinuations, questions, gestures, or circumlocutions. ![]() |
