8/1/2023 0 Comments F95 zone shards of eradineThe reviews for Shards on Steam as well as external reviews of Taps on Nutaku all seem to say the same thing – Taps is the superior game. ![]() Now that we got that out of the way, where does Taps of Eradine come in?Įven if Shards might be a bit of a missed investment, Taps of Eradine is doing much better. I mean, I like the smut scenes, but I’m not going to play an entire RPG if the gameplay is not fun, just to get to see some titties. I gotta say, Shards of Eradine is not looking like a good game to me, taking all of these things into account. I saw a couple of fellows complaining about the game being made in Unity, but lacking in basic functionality like being able to actually save your progress at will. ![]() People also seem to hate the auto save system. There’s also a lot of reviews that mention glitches. Some think the game is grindy others think it needs hardcore gameplay changes to make it more accessible. People like the graphics, they very much appreciate the smut scenes, but the reviews are still mostly negative. The reviews for the game on Steam all seem to have something nice to say. Maybe it needed better marketing, or maybe the game is just lacking in content, I’m not sure. The game, developed by CryptidTech, had a slow rollout back in the day, all the way in 2017. I’m still not entirely clear on how Nutaku cooperates with game developers, but from what I can tell, they aren’t involved with Shards of Eradine. ![]() Oh, and of course, the game’s loaded with smut scenes. The graphics are cute, the game is interesting, and the whole thing is available on Steam. Let’s start with the one I’m not currently reviewing, shall we? Shards of Eradine is an open-world RPG that has you exploring a fantastical medieval world. Today we’re briefly going to talk about Shards of Eradine, before I explain how it differs from Taps of Eradine, because it took me a while to figure out what the big deal was and why there are two games with an almost identical title.

![]() On the other side, last August, Ford announced its partnership with Domino’s, collaborating on pizza deliveries using self-driving cars. More recently, Amazon recently filed a patent for an “autonomous ground vehicle,” suggesting their rumors of self-driving robots are reigning true. Speaking of which, Amazon sees so much potential in the last-mile-delivery service industry, they are not only working with drones. So far, a study by marketing firm McKinsey discovered that the market for “last-mile delivery services” was last valued at over $86 billion, with huge year-over-year growth rates. With services such as Seamless or even Amazon Same-Day-Delivery increasing by demand, this means the number of couriers needed to cater to said demand will likely increase. ![]() Yup, Nuro appears to want to make pizza delivery guys and Seamless couriers a thing of the past, all in an effort to reduce traffic congestion and the number of people on the road, which in theory could reduce the total number of traffic accidents. This means Nuro’s vehicles are specifically being developed to take on the roles of delivery drivers. Meet its latest concoction, the unofficially named, “R1 prototype.” While self-driving cars are looking to take over the taxi, livery, and trucking industries, Nuro is aiming to produce self-driving cars for last-mile delivery services. But these growing pains are the perfect times for experimentation and they clearly haven’t stopped two ex-Google engineers, Dave Ferguson and Jiajun Zhu, from developing their own self-driving car.įerguson and Zhu founded a new startup called Nuro, a company that seeks to reinvent the idea of the self-driving car, even though the self-driving car doesn’t quite exist just yet. ![]() This is why autonomous vehicles aren’t quite yet readily available. And in an age where traffic fatalities, particularly ones caused by inebriated or incompetent drivers, are still a rampant, risk, autonomous vehicles are perceived as the solution to eliminating such problems.īut like all new technologies, many if not all need to endure growing pains and there are a lot of considerations that need to be accounted for since autonomous vehicles require some big-time changes. Nuro Vehicle at Proving GroundsFor decades, ever since the “horseless carriage” came to fruition, engineers and scientists alike have dreamt of a future filled with self-driving vehicles. 8/1/2023 0 Comments Crusader kings 3 art![]() Their political and commercial power had weakened and they had turned to more brutal practices, such as piracy, even shifting their focus from the dwindling Spanish kingdoms to Dutch pirates and opportunities in the New World. In the early renaissance, the Lasombra had just become the leaders of the Sabbat. Most among them refused the Convention of Thorns, seeing it as submission to the despised Ventrue and the kine without even proper negotiations. Many Lasombra flocked behind Gratiano, hoping to overthrow their scheming sires and gain their power. Most Lasombra had strong ties to the clerics and nobility and were able to utilize them to their own ends.Īccording to clan legend, 's last childe, Gratiano de Veronese, was the one who slew the Antediluvian with the aid of a coterie of Assamites, instigating the Anarch Revolt and the resulting chaos (although many Tzimisce challenge that claim). The Lasombra were heavily involved with the religious institutions of this age, particularly the Roman Catholic Church, and with Islam, leading to an internal conflict between the two factions within the Clan that resulted in the Shadow Reconquista in Spain, where both sides battled against each other for control over the peninsula. In medieval times, the Lasombra were centered around the Mediterranean in the feudal realm of the Sea of Shadows as one of the High Clans, headed by their Antediluvian himself. 1197- 1242 Motto: Morte Ascendō (Latin: "In Death, I Rise") While the Ventrue left for the north and the Malkavians are seen with suspicion and fear now, the Lasombra remained.Ĭlan Lasombra c. ![]() Together with the Ventrue and Malkavians, the Lasombra clan ruled over the Roman Empire until it dissolved. Some particular adventurous even traveled so far as China, where their broods still survive secluded and hidden away from the wrathful Cathayans. Others traveled to Iberia and the lands of the Roman Republic. Reveling in piracy and the freedom of the sea, most Lasombra fought against both Greeks and Romans, refusing to accept the feeding rights of any Cainite overlords. It is said that, after the eruption of Thera, the Lasombra Antediluvian began various lengthy travels, leaving his progeny free to discover the world around them. Sicily, where Lasombra had his lair, was the center of the Clan, from which they inserted themselves into various seafaring cultures that arose. Indeed, around the turn of the millennium, the Sea Peoples played a major part in smashing the Bronze Age civilizations in and around Greece, ushering in an era that more landbound historians like to call a "dark age."įrom the very beginning, the Lasombra have been tied to the sea. Nobody sailed without paying tribute to them or courting destruction. For a while, the Sea Peoples dominated all commerce in the Mediterranean. The Hyksos even ruled Egypt for two successive dynasties. In the second millennium B.C., the so-called " Sea Peoples" ravaged all the settled lands around the Mediterranean. Thereafter, Lasombra was always uncertain whether his childe's unswerving honor had gotten the better of him. Ontai obeyed, and a shaken Lasombra called off the execution and embraced Ontai, renaming him Montano, and bringing him to the Mediterranean. Lasombra, disturbed by the offer and Ontai's already impeccable honor, tested the shaman's resolve by demanding he slaughter his tribe. This shaman-in-training offered his life to Lasombra – in life, death, and beyond, with no price asked. Before rerunning the experiment, Lasombra was visited by his child's playmate, Ontai. The experiment failed, and Lasombra punished the tribe by wiping out half of its population. This child was trained to lead by having every member of the tribe obey him, and he was trained to be loyal by extensive gifts and rewards from the Lasombra Antediluvian. Several thousand years ago, a tribe of proto- Maasai people were ordered by a pale spirit to produce a child for him. A clan that uses spirituality as a tool rather than seeking honest enlightenment, their fickle loyalties are currently highlighted by half their clan's defection from the Sabbat. They believe that might makes right, and are willing to sacrifice anything to achieve their goals. The Lasombra exist for their own success, fighting for personal victories rather than solely for a crown to wear or a throne to sit upon. 8/1/2023 0 Comments Magic hour rooftop nye![]() In full transparency though, don’t be surprised if that dream turns more into a nightmare.

Store: If you’re just making the cake layers, you can store the cake on the counter tightly wrapped or sealed in an airtight container.Serve: If you’ve frosted the cake with a dairy frosting, it can be kept at room temperature up to 2 hours.Try topping this vanilla cake recipe with a few tablespoons of powdered sugar and fresh berries instead of buttercream.But keep in mind that the butter and milk play an important role in flavor and texture, so it might be less fluffy and buttery. Make this non-dairy by substituting the butter with applesauce, and the milk with a non-dairy almond or soy milk.This helps make it flatter, so the cake will stay together better. If you’re making a layered vanilla cake, cut the very top off of any cake layer that will have another one resting on top of it.If you want to use salted butter, I would skip adding any salt to the dry ingredients. I always use unsalted butter, so I can add the salt in as I see necessary.This will make it much easier to evenly mix everything together. For this vanilla cake recipe, make sure you bring the butter and eggs to room temperature before starting.Or make a layer cake with Strawberry Topping between each layer and frost the cake with Chocolate Frosting! You can also do this with cupcakes and pipe the filling into the middle. Try making a layer cake with this vanilla cake and use Ppineapple Topping between each layer, then frosting with Cream Cheese Frosting.If the toothpick comes out clean, the dessert is done. You can see if most baked desserts are done by inserting a toothpick into the middle.It’s a good idea to make cakes in a stand mixer because it makes sure that everything is incorporated nicely, but you can use a hand-held mixer if that’s what you have.If you don’t have a sifter, you can whisk your dry ingredients together but the texture might be slightly less light in the final cake. Make sure you sift together your dry ingredients before adding them to the cake, to make sure everything is evenly dispersed before adding to the wet ingredients.If cake flour is all you have, you can use it for this cake. For more delicate cakes like white cake, use cake flour because it requires a finer texture, but for this vanilla cake you can use all-purpose without issue.Trace the bottom of the pan on the parchment paper, then cut out the circle and it should fit exactly. If you’re having trouble with your vanilla cake sticking to the cake pans once they’re done baking, try lining the bottom of the cake pan with a piece of parchment paper.You want to make sure the buttercream and cake are the same temperature, or you’ll pull up crumbs when trying to frost.

Use two 8 inch non-stick cake pans because to make a layer cake with this vanilla cake recipe.Try leveling the baking powder in the measuring spoon with a knife, similar to how we did the flour. The baking powder causes the cake to rise really fast, then fall before it’s done baking. If your cake falls when you take it out of the oven, it’s possible that there was too much baking powder used. Stop mixing when everything is just mixed in. Make sure you’re not over-mixing the cake batter. I also recommend not using any butter substitutes, like margarine. If you’re replacing the eggs or butter in this recipe, make sure you’re not removing all of the fat because it helps keep the texture of the cake soft. Try weighing the all purpose flour, or using a knife to level the measuring cup. Measure your all purpose flour exactly, to make sure you’re not adding too much. Try using an oven thermometer and set your oven temperature, then make sure they match so you’re not over-baking anything. Make sure your oven is cooking at the right temperature, because an over-baked cake can easily be dry and crumbly. ![]() There are a few reasons this might happen.
