We can obly be 100% certain after Unleashed is out The signs of the game ending was and still is obvious. Kixeye is having one last hoorah in terms of robbing people.Īnd now, I will take my leave before Zys shows up and says “I told you so! No purple cookie for you. People who will potentially pay money for shiny have no clue what is happening. And now, near the end of it all, they refuse to tell the players. Simply put, they messed up their own game and potential profit. I do not expect the game to last much longer, even with Backyard Monsters Unleashed coming out in the near future. The only thing that hasn’t shown up is Base 0 and/or OOPS. The Leaderboards are full of hackers using instant takeovers, The Titans (a Super-Alliance) and most other big alliances use hacks to move ever upward on the Alliance Leaderboard, and bugs continue to ruin the game. Not long after, the game was shut down on Kongregate.Īlas, we appear to be nearing the end. It didn’t take long before this Moderator’s post to be removed as well. Not only were they ripping apart friends and an entire community, but the amount of shiny given in “compensation” was insulting. They didn’t bother to post on Kongregate (Possibly only Kixeye’s third visit) until a few days later. Then one day, a Moderator created a post that stated that Kongregate was to be shut down and that players would receive 500 shiny as compensation. There was no new content, hackers and scripters abound, and no Customer Support to speak of. A while back, the game known as Backyard Monsters was playable on this website called Kongregate. ![]() If this doesn’t sound familiar by now, allow me to explain. They have cleaned up all traces off this comment. Understandably frustrated, I began to answer the questions on the forums about various glitches and such with answers that can be summed up as “Kixeye officially halted development, Customer Support is name they assigned to their sentient overlord computer that feeds on sadness, and this bug/hacker will not be stopped.” Today I woke up to find that not only were all of my posts deleted, but that the original post by a Moderator is gone as well. They cited Backyard Monsters Unleashed (their upcoming mobile version of the game) as the reason for development being cut. In fact, the only staff working on Backyard Monsters are those in Customer Support (until the robots rise up, that is). I came across this post while browsing the Community Support forum and laughing at all the pathetic nubs shouting “HAX! BRINGS OUT TEH BANHAMMER!” A seemingly frustrated Moderator let it slip that there would be no bug or glitch fixes and that development had ceased completely. After many months devoid of any noteworthy updates, Kixeye has, according to a Moderator’s post, decided to cease the development of Backyard Monsters. ![]()

![]() ![]() In the past two years, patrollers at Colorado’s Breckenridge and Montana’s Big Sky resorts also have unionized, and the patrol at Loveland Ski Resort, also in Colorado, has taken steps to do so. The yellow, turreted Adler Spa Resort dates back to 1810 and is one of the most beautiful properties in the Dolomites.Photos of past ski patrol units on the wall. The pastel-coloured architecture is a result of its Tyrolean roots. Many of the slopes are long and wide, making it a perfect destination for leisurely skiing. This comprises 12 ski areas and covers a total of 1,200 kilometres of piste. Ortisei is a charming Italian village in South Tyrol and one of the prettiest ski resorts in Europe, with access to the Dolomites ski area. There is also an interactive exhibition where you can get a glimpse behind the scenes of the film. The 1969 film On Her Majesty’s Secret Service made this restaurant famous. ![]() James Bond fans should visit the 360 degrees rotating Piz Gloria restaurant. There are panoramic views of the Bernese Alps, especially when tackling the Schilthorn black run – a 1,300m vertical piste with breath-taking terrain. Mürren is a tiny, charming and virtually car-free. The village is part of the Jungfrau ski area, which has 206 kilometres of pistes. With pistes at 1,500m and 3,000m above sea level, Mürren is the highest resort in the Bernese Oberland. A stand-out feature of the village is the renowned and castle-like Gstaad Palace. The ski area is as pristine as the resort with modern chairlifts and 200 kilometres of tree-lined slopes. Gstaad has a selection of stylish shops and gourmet restaurants perfect for those looking for off-the-mountain activities. The village is car-free and made up of beautifully-designed chalets and opulent hotels. Set in the heart of the Bernese Oberland, the attractive Swiss village of Gstaad defines chocolate box ski resorts. The line also calls at Grindelwald, another of our favourite chocolate box ski resorts. Wengen is car-free and is only reached by the mountain railway. From here you can easily access the family-friendly slopes of Kleine Scheidegg-Männlichen, as well as the World Cup runs on Lauberhorn. ![]() Enjoy incredible views of the Bernese Alps, particularly the peaks of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. This traditional village is located on a wind-protected terrace with above average sunshine hours. If you’re looking for the most beautiful ski resorts in Europe, we recommend Wengen. Runs into the village are long and intermediate level in this picturesque ski resort, and during months with little snow there is extensive snowmaking.įind out more about St Martin de Belleville ski resort One of the prettiest French ski resorts, St Martin de Belleville is made up of traditional wooden chalets and a 16th-century Baroque-style church.

Hence, it makes writing papers much easier, since e.g. Docear4Word allows you to insert references and bibliographies from BibTeX files to MS-Word documents. In case you are using a BibTeX based reference manager such as JabRef (and you don’t want to switch to Docear), you might at least be interested in Docear4Word. ![]() If you don’t like reading, there is also a 6 minute introduction video on our homepage □ More information can be found in our Blog, including a detailed explanation of what makes Docear superior to Mendeley, Zotero, etc. A research paper recommender system that allows you to discover new academic literature.Īnd Docear is free and open source and available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. based on the annotations you previously created.ģ. A ‘literature suite concept’ that allows you to draft and write your own assignments, papers, theses, books, etc. A single-section user-interface that differs significantly from the interfaces you know from Zotero, JabRef, Mendeley, Endnote, … and that allows a more comprehensive organization of your electronic literature (PDFs) and the annotations you created (i.e highlighted text, comments, and bookmarks).Ģ. The three most distinct features of Docear are:ġ. ![]() If you are interested in reference management, you might want to have a look at Docear. Today, we released version 1.0 of Docear after a ~2 year beta phase. I am one of the founders of Docear, which is a new software for organizing, creating, and discovering academic literature. Ironically, almost everything I’ve wrote in the conclusion can be solved by a professional programmer say in a few days, but where is he/she? If Zotero will have the level of metadata extraction similar to Mendeley, and it will make all the necessary steps automatically (inserting a new file from the predefined directory, fetching the metadata if available, and renaming this file according to the metadata), then Zotero will win. In conclusion, if Mendeley will add advanced search, and external note editor, I will stick with it. The Bibtex citation key is not editable.I just hate the user interface, and how many actions I should do to make it work the way I want.Each PDF file is saved in different random directory.Renaming is not done automatically, but needs user command.Extraction is not made automatically, but needs user command.Google scholar locks for a few hours after extracting ~20 papers.The “related” connections between notes and papers.Saves web pages, or any sort of information.Citation count available (plugin for firefox version only).A crappy notes editor is still my biggest concern. UPDATE: In the version 1.0 the mostly wanted feature of sub-categories was implemented, but not much beyond this. I sincerely believe that scientists should respect the work the Mendeley team actually do, and not what they say they do. Their blog is flooded with hype “how good we are”, “our banquets”, and “spread the word” slogans. The most important: after a year of a very active phase and impressive progress in the development of the soft (and a lot of praises from the scientific community), Mendeley team have probably decided that this is enough to sell themselves, and the last three months I haven’t seen a single important new feature implemented.Citation count (the number of citations for each paper) is unavailable.For example if you copy/paste you image into Mendeley note, it is shown as icon, and if you copy/paste your note back to say Word processor, then you see the image as usual. The interesting thing is that it is able to save any sort of information, like images, but you can’t see them in Mendeley. Notes pane is horrible: text only, with “bold” and “underline” modifiers.500MB data storage + 500MB groups storage.Metadata extraction is better, and the amount of extracted papers, until the Google scholar locks, is much larger.The information on papers is automatically updated from the users input.Ergonomic interface, without too much buttons to press….The renamed files are relocated automatically into a single place (directory).Renames the files automatically using the extracted paper Author/Date/Paper title. ![]() Automatically adds the PDF files from selected directories.Nice guides for Mendeley are available here: Mendeley Guides. Both of them are free, in active development phase, and able to extract PDF metadata. Both have pros and cons, and I still can’t decide with which one of them I will live long and happy life. Mendeley and Zotero are both bibliography managers used by a wide audience. ![]() ![]() Since everyone is unique, however, belonging to a certain generation doesn’t automatically define one’s opinions on the importance of work-life balance. Pay, career-trajectory, and the location of the job are still huge factors for them, just as they are for Baby Boomers and Gen Xers. However, Millennials seem to be interested in careers that will support their life outside of work. Many employers overcompensate when trying to figure out what will attract them, trying tactics like having game rooms, or beanbag chairs, etc. Millennials: there are many stereotypes for Millennials.They tend to view things like telecommuting, extended maternity/paternity leaves, and adequate vacation time as prerequisites to a job. Gen Xers (children of Baby Boomers) put more emphasis on the importance of work-life balance after growing up seeing the effect long working hours had on the relationship of a family. ![]()
![]() Some of them are only concealing stashes of orbs or optional enemies, but others are hiding keys or secret doors that must be found to advance. Keep an eye peeled for invisible switches and cracked stones. There are secret passages everywhere and they aren’t marked on the map. One of the best and most frustrating elements of this game is the hidden secrets. ![]() ![]() Fortunately, the map color codes rooms where you can swap out party members. While monsters respawn after your death-and every time you exit a room, for that matter-puzzles remain solved, bosses remain slain, and you keep any keys you picked up. Each character has different abilities that can counter specific obstacles, meaning you have to regularly switch between them to advance. As you explore and slay monsters, you gather the souls of the dead in the form of blue orbs, which you can trade with Epimetheus for permanent power-ups. Upgrades range from increased damage to health bonuses to the ability to automatically absorb orbs. The latest addition to my Switch download catalog, Astalon: Tears of the Earth, is one such example. The 8-bit soundtrack and sound effects that might as well have jumped directly out of an old-school arcade machine help create an atmosphere that’s equal parts nostalgic and unsettling.ĭying means putting the dungeon-crawling on pause for a bit while you renegotiate terms with the Titan of Death. The cast, with their huge eyes and stylized armor, wouldn’t look out of place in the original Puyo Puyo or even Madou Monogatari games. The character design draws heavily on 80s and 90s anime. It really feels like the Tower itself hates you. This contrasts sharply with the genuinely ominous environments and off-putting enemy designs that range from oversized insects to twisted cyclopes to rotting corpses. Rest sequences help to establish the bonds between the main cast just as the post-death upgrade conversations help to establish the friction between Algus and Epimetheus. Algus doesn’t let the grim fate awaiting him stop him from complaining to-and gossiping with-Epimetheus, the monstrous Titan of Death that will inevitably claim his soul. ![]() The game manages to create a truly creepy tone, but the writing is at once simple, deeply affecting, and surprisingly funny. ![]() ![]() (2) Neighborhood characteristics significantly affect residential prices along rail transit lines in urban areas, while the architectural and neighborhood characteristics have equally important effects on residential prices along suburban rail transit lines. ![]() The conclusions of this study are as follows: (1) Within the urban area of a single central city, the average residential price on the inner side of the rail transit line adjacent to the city center is higher than on the outer side. The residential prices within the fourth ring (Line 10) were correlated significantly with population density (plot ratio) and station distance, while residential prices outside the fourth ring (Line 13) were correlated with community environment (greening rate), community-built time (age of residence), and public transportation conditions. Factors influencing residential prices in different rail locations also differed. Within the 2 km study area along the line, factors such as community grade (property fee), living environment (park), and living convenience (shopping mall) significantly affected the residential prices. This study considered Beijing Metro Line 10 and Line 13 as examples, based on a semi-logarithmic hedonic price model, combined with facility point-of-interest (POI) data and residential unit transaction data, to study how rail transit affects the spatial differentiation of urban residential prices. ![]() ![]() Rail transit is a significant measure for the comprehensive development of large cities, which influences the land use patterns and the spatial patterns of residential prices around the rail. ![]() ![]() ![]() In January 2022, they added a collaboration with NEEDY STREAMER OVERLOAD, adding its theme song and an illustration based on the game.In December 2021, the game got one with Arcaea, notably marking the first time Arcaea collaborated with a non-arcade game in two years. ![]()
