![]() I understand a you need to make it a challenge to keep it interesting and it’s only a game, but if I wanted to experience something that doesn’t do what I intend for it to do and just makes up rules as it goes, I’d go talk to my boss who makes crap up all day long. The first two seasons and on the regular game this was not an issue at all. I have tried landing troops on opposite ends of the ramp, putting a good few seconds between troop deployments to separate attacking groups. Since I cannot get flairs yet to direct my troops, I am pretty much screwed on which way they go. My next complaint is that the troops always go to one area together. They finish, we go back to the results page and somehow my opponent has beaten me by several seconds, one time they apparently beat me by 45 seconds. ![]() For example, EVERY SINGLE TIME I am 1 win away from leveling up, I launch my troops, they destroy the bases before my opponent destroys mine, I go to the next screen and spectate my opponent attacking me. Season 3 is here and two days in I regret ever downloading this game. The first two seasons were challenging and entertaining. When you added the Warships, I was overly excited as it brought something new and enjoyable to my day.

Now that I've finished every single offensive upgrade I wanted, it makes leveling stuff like an 800k wood upgrade for a defense so much SO much easier. I'm now HQ20 with 8 level 20 landing craft, max warriors tanks and medics, max flare shock smoke barrage and artillery, max gunboat sculptor radar and vault. The better your offensive capabilities in game means the easier it'll be for you to take out other people and steal resources. I would say always level your LC if you have an upgrade available. Leaving all of my landing craft at level 12 was incredibly painful to recover from when I actually hit HQ20 and I've only just finished my 8th landing craft to level 20. I've been a TMed player for a very long time so when I got my landing crafts up to level 12, I left them there because since I wasn't HQ 20 for the longest time, there was no benefit to me leveling the landing craft any higher because I couldn't hold more than 2 tanks.

This may actually be desirable, as blur circles that are dimmer near the edges produce less-defined shapes which blend smoothly with the surrounding image. Lenses that are poorly corrected for spherical aberration will show one kind of disc for out-of-focus points in front of the plane of focus, and a different kind for points behind. A well-known lens that exhibited the latter "soap-bubble" characteristic was that produced by Hugo Meyer & Co., more recently revived by Meyer Optik Görlitz. Depending on how a lens is corrected for spherical aberration, the disc may be uniformly illuminated, brighter near the edge, or brighter near the center. In out-of-focus areas, each point of light becomes an image of the aperture, generally a more or less round disc. When used in portrait photography (for their "natural" perspective), the photographer usually wants a shallow depth of field, so that the subject stands out sharply against a blurred background.īokeh characteristics may be quantified by examining the image's circle of confusion. Good bokeh is also important for medium telephoto lenses (typically 85–150 mm on 35 mm format). "Good" bokeh is especially important for macro lenses and long telephoto lenses, because they are typically used in situations that produce shallow depth of field. Though difficult to quantify, some lenses have subjectively more pleasing out-of-focus areas. The depth of field is the region where the size of the circle of confusion is less than the resolution of the human eye. The background blur bokeh effect is harder to achieve using digital video cameras than with standard photography, but can still be achieved by having the background further behind the subject of the video, and this additional space may be required to achieve this result than with photography. It is sometimes pronounced / ˈ b oʊ k ə/ BOH-kə. The spellings bokeh and boke have both been in use since at least 1996, when Merklinger had suggested "or Bokeh if you prefer." The term bokeh has appeared in photography books as early as 1998. ![]() The English spelling bokeh was popularized in 1997 in Photo Techniques magazine, when Mike Johnston, the editor at the time, commissioned three papers on the topic for the May/June 1997 issue he altered the spelling to suggest the correct pronunciation to English speakers, saying "it is properly pronounced with bo as in bone and ke as in Kenneth, with equal stress on either syllable". The related term bokashi ( 暈かし) means intentional blurring or gradation that is a noun form of the transitive verb bokasu ( 暈す), which means to make something blurry, rather than to be blurry. Tobokeru means playing dumb, and toboketa kao refers to a poker face. Nebokeru ( 寝ぼける) is a verb denoting the actions or condition of someone who is half-asleep, or nodding off. Jisaboke ( 時差ボケ) (literally, "time difference fog") is the term for jet lag. This is derived as a noun form of the verb bokeru, which is written in several ways, with additional meanings and nuances: 暈ける refers to being blurry, hazy or out-of-focus, whereas the 惚ける and 呆ける spellings refer to being mentally hazy, befuddled, childish, senile, or playing stupid. The term comes from the Japanese word boke ( 暈け/ボケ), which means "blur" or "haze", resulting in boke-aji ( ボケ味), the "blur quality". The opposite of bokeh-an image in which multiple distances are visible and all are in focus-is deep focus. However, bokeh is not limited to highlights blur occurs in all regions of an image which are outside the depth of field. ![]() Photographers may deliberately use a shallow focus technique to create images with prominent out-of-focus regions, accentuating their lens's bokeh.īokeh is often most visible around small background highlights, such as specular reflections and light sources, which is why it is often associated with such areas. Some lens designs blur the image in a way that is pleasing to the eye, while others produce distracting or unpleasant blurring ("good" and "bad" bokeh, respectively). Differences in lens aberrations and aperture shape cause very different bokeh effects. Bokeh has also been defined as "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light". In photography, bokeh ( / ˈ b oʊ k ə/ BOH-kə or / ˈ b oʊ k eɪ/ BOH-kay Japanese: ) is the aesthetic quality of the blur produced in out-of-focus parts of an image, caused by Circles of Confusion. ![]() The cursor does snap to interactable objects when it comes near, but this gets iffy when you’re hovering around more than one interactable object at once. This is unfortunately where Switch becomes the not-ideal platform for Happy Game, as controlling the cursor with the stick is sensitive and clumsy. Gameplay is very simple: the left stick moves the cursor, the right stick moves the child, pressing A allows you to grab and interact with an object with the cursor. This is no easy task, as the horrible monsters manifested by the smiley face would love nothing more than to lead the child into a gruesome death, whether that means devouring them, ripping them apart, or any number of horrifying fates. In each of the game’s three acts you must help the child get back one of the things in their life that make them happy: a ball, a stuffed rabbit, and a puppy. In Happy Game you play as a child who has been trapped in a nightmare by a terrifying ghost-like creature that manifests as a giant smiley face.

To unilaterally decide to ban people’s access to their crypto would fly in the face of the reason why crypto exists.” US exchanges like Coinbase and Kraken have stated they wouldn’t comply with Ukrainian requests to cut Russians off from their crypto wallets unless they were legally compelled to do so by the US government.Įxamples from around the world suggest that donating crypto to governments can have unexpected consequences. ![]() Cayman Islands–based exchange Binance has justified its stance, stating, “Crypto is meant to provide greater financial freedom for people across the globe. But the ideological underpinnings of crypto become clearer with recent refusals by major exchanges to freeze Russian accounts. Anarchic CapitalismĪs for Bitcoin, it is usually associated with a right-wing anti-statist brand of libertarianism - which might make it seem odd to support one government by donating cryptocurrencies that are purposefully designed to subvert governments in general. They changed their minds after upsetting Justin Sun, crypto’s Houdini of tax evasion and owner of blockchain project TRON. The Ukrainian government considered an official NFT project and token “ airdrop” reward program of their own. Shevchenko urged owners to keep hold of their LOVE tokens as a “reminder of our world’s ongoing humanitarian needs.” Doing so would also keep the token price high. The project aims to issue buyers with shares in the DAO called “LOVE tokens.” Shareholders will be able to vote on future sales of the project’s NFTs. It has since received over $1.3 million worth of cryptocurrency from adult content sharing platform OnlyFans. UkraineDAO’s founder, Alona Shevchenko, received a celebrity endorsement from Nadya Tolokonnikova, member of the Russian activist group and feminist punk band Pussy Riot. The project was launched as a distributed autonomous organization, or DAO, a kind of automated company administered as a computer program on Ethereum, the rival network to Bitcoin. A group called UkraineDAO has raised nearly $7 million for the war effort by auctioning NFTs of Ukraine’s flag. Popular non-fungible token (NFT) projects like Bored Ape Yacht Club have also donated $2 million worth of Ether. ![]() The California-based exchange Kraken announced that it would distribute $10 million to Ukrainians opening new Kraken accounts. Crypto exchanges around the world have also been quick to benefit from the conflict, using it to onboard thousands of Russian punters in financial pickles and desperate Ukrainians seeking refuge elsewhere. So far, $108 million worth of crypto has been donated to the Ukrainian government. It’s no wonder that within hours of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on February 24, requests for international donations meant crypto. Even after the 2014 ouster of pro-Russian president Viktor Yanukovych - widely accused of electoral fraud and corruption - trust in Ukraine’s financial systems didn’t improve. The value of daily cryptocurrency transactions totaled $150 million, exceeding the volume of interbank exchanges. Until a few weeks ago, roughly $8 billion worth of Bitcoin entered and exited the country annually. Despite the boom in crypto markets globally, Ukrainians remained some of the most avid cryptocurrency users. Nearly half of all the world’s Bitcoins were made here. At the height of the Euromaidan protests in 2014, “mining” Bitcoin was so prolific that Ukrainian miners nearly brought down the whole global network. For the many crypto-cult followers of the book, war is an opportunity - providing “validation of their increasingly radical beliefs.”īelief in Bitcoin is not a new thing for Ukraine. Writing in the 1990s, the authors specialized in profiting from a world gone mad - and made impressive predictions on the rise of cryptocurrencies. The book’s authors argue that out of the wreckage of war will emerge a “cognitive elite” rising to power as a class of sovereign individuals, no longer subject to the power of sovereign states. Inspiration for their nightmare utopia comes from an obscure libertarian manifesto, The Sovereign Individual: How to Survive and Thrive During the Collapse of the Welfare State. For them, war in Ukraine brings hope that their planning was worthwhile. They’ve been busy acquiring land on remote islands and building subterranean Jerusalems all powered by Bitcoin. Influential Silicon Valley venture capitalists like Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, and Tim Draper have all given careful thought to the importance of crypto for when the shit hits the fan. Die-hard fans of cryptocurrencies have an impressive knack for turning nightmares on their head. |
