It may have been the PinkBike Mountain Bike of the Year last year, but it really is back bigger and better than ever with the 2021 model. ![]() The Norco Optic C2 is a capable trail bike with downhill components for a ride built to go fast and rip it up and as the top of the range Optic this bike really is a standout. When you compare the C2 to the Opitc C1 there are a lot of similarities, except the C1 gets an improved e*thirteen crankset and an XTR Groupset instead of the XT on the C2, so there is a difference but many riders will be more than happy on the C2. The Optic does all of the important parts well, but it also does the little things well, equipped with a Fizik Alpaca Terra Saddle and X-Fusion Manic Dropper Post so that you can get out of the saddle and really get after it. You'll be putting all of that power through the Stans Flow S1 rims and burly 29 inch Vittoria Mazza 2.4" Front Tyre/Vittoria Martello 2.35" rear tyre for the ultimate combination of speed and grip. The 12 speed Shimano XT Groupset gives you crisp and precise shifting for an unbeatable ride, as the 1x12 setup gives you reliably efficient performance. The suspension is complimented by Shimano XT 4 piston Hydraulic Disc Brakes for incredible stopping power and control to help you ride aggressively with confidence. Norco's Ride Aligned design system allows you to customise and tune the suspension to your preferences and body for the ultimate trail ride. The geometry and design puts you in an aggressive position with a wide bars, a short stem, steep seat angle and long top tube for power and grip while you climb and descend.Īdd to that the Fox Performance Elite 36 Grip2 Float Fork (42mm offset) with 140mm travel and Fox Performance Elite Float DPX2 Rear Shock for an incredibly playful and ambitious ride. The carbon front triangle/alloy rear frame gives you the ideal combination of strength while minimising wait for a dynamic ride. The brilliance of the Optic is in the frame/suspension combination which is designed to tear up the trails. The Norco Optic C2 Dual Suspension Mountain Bike is a powerful short-travel trail bike loaded with a Shimano Groupset for a dynamic ride which excels on the downhill. ![]() Please refer to specifications for further details.

They have 50% additional chance to immobilize 2 rounds, and they can do extra damage as in Remix. This is to allow spear users to carry a shield. ![]() They are also too heavy to be wielded in the off-hand. Spears are 1-handed weapons, with a -10 dual wielding modifier, to discourage it (unfortunately the penalty won't be less than the normal 20%, but it will counter the benfits from training the skill). Very few items give a CtH bonus, so that also Swordmage trait could become viable in some builds. Bracers, gauntlets and boots give a smaller penalty. Leather gear no longer carry a hit chance penalty. CtH penalties : Chainmail -5%, breastplates -15%, all shields -5%, plate greaves -5%. Shields have received a similar treatment: fixed hit penalty (5% for all), varying parry bonus (5-10%) and armor bonus, but iron/steel weight a lot more. You need strength 25+ to be able to wear good plate armor. Armors are much heavier, so heavy that only the strongest can wear a full plate (breast + greaves + bracers), but metal armor gives a parry bonus, similarly to shields (iron 5%, steel 7%, consecrated 10%). Low level creatures, archers and spellcasters use shortswords, higher level variants use broadswords (more damage, cleave chance), sliths use spears (immobility, extra damage!). Main change is that plate armors and shields are much heavier, and they confer a parry bonus. The goal (I don't know if I'm quite there) is to make the game slightly (only slightly) more difficult overall. I also tried to balance items in a way that it's very difficult for spellcasters to find gear that confers melee damage protection (in my now finished torment playthrough my mage had a final armor rating of 63%, 66% for fire/etc, my secondary mage/archer had much better ratings but had the swordmage trait).Ībout the difficulty, I reduced overall spell damage (closer to Remix), and even increased casting costs in many cases. It also includes many more changes, I tried balancing it the best I could but maybe I'm not finished yet. For items, often I reverted only the name to the original, and kept the altered stats. The ReRemix mod is based on the remix by Slartibus, but some spells have been reverted to the original ones (Icy Rain, Howl of Terror, Call the Storm, Summon Shade, Divine Fire), even if their damage is closer to Slartibus' Remix, and also some items (especially the First Expedition items). ReRemix v2 (changes at the end of this post) I hope this won't be a problem, if it is I will take it back. I simply resized/cropped the images or did minor edits. Many are from illustrations for cards of the "Magic: the Gathering" game, others are obtained from fantasy pictures of diverse authors. NOTE : just to clarify, I'm not the author of any of these pictures, they were all found on the web. Unpack in your "Avernum Files" directory and overwrite, the original graphics are there if you want to revert the changes. Moreover I made a graphics mod that replaces the cartoon-like pictures in the statistics page with fantasy pictures. I've made a couple of modifications, the ReRemix was posted in the Remix thread, I'll post it back here. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you can clearly picture your character in both cases, then you just might have a winner on your hands.Īnd if you’d rather create a character name all by yourself?

![]() ![]() The subsequent conversation has Felicia reflect on her role and speculate with the player on how to proceed and on the nature of narrative.Īn abstract representation of Save the Date shows subsequent sessions as substantially different from earlier ones:Ĭross-session memory is rarely used as a narrative strategy, yet holds much promise in expressing complex and interdependent consequences. Save the date successfully demonstrates how cross-session memory can be used to enrich the narrativ experience by reflecting the player’s growing knowledge. In Save the Date the roles are reversed – the player addresses the in-game character and makes the date aware of her role as a character in a game. In more traditional media forms, the meta narrative involves a character addressing the reader as such. In this moment, the game narrative becomes meta-narrative. Yet, as the player quickly learns, using this knowledge directly is also risky, as Felicia will find the unexpected intimate knowledge rather creepy and as a reason to break up contact.Įventually, the player will encounter a set of choices that reveal her as a player of a video game to the date character. And it keeps changing to include more warnings and ways to avoid earlier disasters. In this way, the game reflects earlier experiences, which means the narrative changes accordingly. In subsequent attempts the player will now find an additional option to warn the date about the peanuts and thus avoid death at this level in the game. Hence, the goal of the game is to literally “save the date,” which turns out to be rather difficult. For example, taking Felicia to a Thai restaurant will have her die from a food allergy to peanuts. However, regardless of the particular choice, the date will invariably die. For this purpose, the player can chose from a variety of restaurant options. In addition, this work extends the notion of metanarrative in an important way and challenges the player to consider abandoning the game to reach a successful ending.Īt the start of the game, the player invites a romantic interest – Felicia – to a dinner date. So what does this game do? Save the Date reflects the player’s growing knowledge in consecutive replays though an evolving narrative. At the same time, this work challenges long-standing conventions in both games and narrative. ![]() This game puts the affordances of digital media to great use by demonstrating how procedurality and interactivity can extend narrative. Save the Date is a real gem from the perspective of interactive digital narrative. ![]() ![]() ![]() Roy later had an illustrious career in the Royal Engineers (RE), rising to the rank of General, and he was largely responsible for the British share of the work in determining the relative positions of the French and British royal observatories. The survey was produced at a scale of 1 inch to 1,000 yards (1:36,000) and included "the Duke of Cumberland's Map" (primarily by Watson and Roy), now held in the British Library. Among Watson's assistants were William Roy, Paul Sandby and John Manson. In response, King George II charged Watson with making a military survey of the Highlands under the command of the Duke of Cumberland. ![]() In 1747, Lieutenant-Colonel David Watson proposed the compilation of a map of the Highlands to help to subjugate the clans. Prince William, Duke of Cumberland realised that the British Army did not have a good map of the Scottish Highlands to locate Jacobite dissenters such as Simon Fraser, 11th Lord Lovat so that they could be put on trial.

Ordnance Survey maps remain in copyright for 50 years after their publication. These are still available in traditional sheet form. Small-scale mapping for leisure use includes the 1:25,000 "Explorer" series, the 1:50,000 "Landranger" series and the 1:250,000 road maps. (The latter superseded the 1:10,560 "six inches to the mile" scale in the 1950s.) These large scale maps are typically used in professional land-use contexts and were available as sheets until the 1980s, when they were digitised. The Survey's large-scale mapping comprises 1:2,500 maps for urban areas and 1:10,000 more generally. Ordnance Survey mapping is usually classified as either " large-scale" (in other words, more detailed) or "small-scale". It produces digital map data, online route planning and sharing services and mobile apps, plus many other location-based products for business, government and consumers.

In episode four, we went to the mountaintop and saw a stupendous vision for an inclusive historical romance world in the English long 19th century, and now in the back half of the show … nothing. While we lose most of the court intrigue and prince storyline, we also receive no additional information about how race works in the Bridgerton alternate universe. The second half of Bridgerton transitions into a show that I think is far more in line with the expectations for what a historical romance TV series would look like. We have just about one hour to go and zero therapy in sight: can these people possibly reach the promised land of Happily Ever After this season? The truth of Simon’s childhood starts to emerge and his resistance to breaking the vow he made to his father almost visibly starts to crack when he hears Daphne’s wails at the end of the episode. The couple retains all the heat and more of their early honeymoon, but Daphne’s anger and Simon’s fear add an edge to their interactions, even when they’re frantically trying to fuck on the staircase. While these problems are rooted in Regency mores and laws, the feeling of being hemmed in by the shit options offered by contemporary society translates unfortunately well across time.ĭaphne and Simon’s pained love struggles to wiggle through the walls around their hearts. Henry Granville explains his choice, which seems to have the cooperation of his wife, to be married to a woman while privately in love with Lord Wetherby. ![]() They’re summoned back to London by a Whistledown-fanned scandal involving Marina Thompson’s pregnancy by another man, and Marina struggles to justify her decision to enthusiastically encourage Colin’s courtship. At Clyvedon Castle, Daphne and Simon can barely exist on the same plane without wanting to throw their whole partnership in the trash in the wake of last episode’s revelations. We spend the episode seeing the fallout of decisions made by people who feel like they have no other options, but still bear the judgement of their confidants and society. While evidence of leg day and a squat routine among the nude male actors demand the label “female gaze,” it’s the serious treatment of emotions related to pregnancy that most effectively cements Bridgerton as TV for women. The episode ends with Daphne’s period arriving - in distressingly hemorrhagic fashion - despite her dream of motherhood, as Marina’s attempt to make an abortifacient tea leaves her unconscious on the floor at the Featherington house. ![]() Early in the season, Bridgerton addressed the danger and pain posed to women by Regency childbirth, and this episode pairs Daphne’s desperate hope for a pregnancy with Marina Thompson’s increasingly limited options for avoiding life as an unwed mother. ![]() ![]() Included a folder named Private Firewall 7.0.30.3 inside.
