Yet the law has become so controversial that Congress hasn’t updated it since 1992 - and some worry it won’t last another half-century.Ĭonservative administrations and lawmakers have stepped up efforts to weaken it, backed by landowner and industry groups that contend the act s tifles property rights and economic growth. Habitat loss, pollution, climate change and disease are putting an estimated 1 million species worldwide at risk. “And I believe very strongly that we’re in a better place for it.”įifty years after the law took effect, environmental advocates and scientists say it’s as essential as ever. “The Endangered Species Act has been very successful,” Interior Secretary Deb Haaland said in an Associated Press interview. ![]() More than 99% of those listed as “endangered” - on the verge of extinction - or the less severe “threatened” have survived.

The scientists had yet to spot either species this year as they embarked on a netting mission. They were looking for increasingly scarce Indiana and northern long-eared bats, which historically migrated there for birthing season, sheltering behind peeling bark of dead trees. It was a common type, one of many Wilson and colleagues had snagged on summer nights in the southern Michigan countryside. “Another big brown,” she said with a sigh.

Also Ubisoft has had a long history of connectivity issues and this is an open world multiplayer game, this can't happen for Skull and Bones. Also the game even though it seems to have a story again a developer says gamers will make their own stories, hopefully there is more interpretation to that comment. What is a worry is the game just being just a ship v ship game with zero land gameplay, But during E3 one of the developers of the game said gamers will have some type of tavern where they can recruit so there may or may not be land gameplay. Graphically Ubisoft hasn't ever failed to deliver so thats not a big worry. Now Skull and Bones has a lot to live up to. This game is not necessarily single player friendly but that may be due to lack of content, but a person is more likely to have fun with a group of people! Also there isn't much risk when it comes to dying, by that I mean if you die you get revived and get a new ship without any consequence. One could also say with this type of game you need to make fun for yourself after running out of things to do. People are constantly just finding treasure or fighting skeletons which sounds fun but its just repetitive. One of the many problems or the big problem that has led to other problems is the lack of content. Sea of Thieves was a promising game it has graphics that are absolutely mesmerizing, but it has its flaws. Microsoft may see the amount of sales as a success but really how many people bought the full game vs how many got it off of the game pass. As much as people try to defend Sea of Thieves many must admit the launch was a bit of a failure. ![]() ![]() Instead, you'll either need to search for the exact name of the title in the Oculus app or on a Quest headset, or you'll need a link to the listing (which you can find below). Because of that, there's no way to find out what games have actually been released on App Lab as there's no way to search for the games, at large. Called Stranger Things VR, the horror-action game was created in collaboration with Netflix and the series writers, and lets you immerse yourself in one of the major twists from last season. In the game, players ride a motorbike and ride at high speed through several environments, with narration and interaction scattered throughout the experience.Īpp Lab is the "testing grounds" of sorts for Quest games that haven't met with final approval from Facebook for the proper Oculus Store. During a routine assignment in the farmlands outside the city Eden 3, they find an actual human girl - previously sleeping in stasis - and embark upon an adventure to raise her in secrecy. The show Eden follows the story of two robots living a thousand years after humans disappeared from Earth. While “major VR platforms” is non-specific, we’ll note that PSVR 2 is slated for release in February while Meta has already started teasing Quest 3 for release late next year.Eden Unearthed is based upon the Netflix original show Eden that launched on Netflix at the end of May 2021. Players will invade the dreams and memories of fan favorite characters and harness telekinetic powers to battle humans and creatures alike, as Henry Creel’s transformation into Vecna and his influence on the events of prior seasons is revealed.” “Stranger Things VR will allow fans to experience the world of Stranger Things from the never-before-seen perspective of Vecna as he explores unknown realities, forms the hive mind, and enacts his plan for revenge against Eleven and Hawkins. The level includes four mini-games based around the Netflix show, as well as quests that reward players with Stranger Things. ![]() ![]() We don’t have a lot more details about the project right now but Tender Claws did share the following description: Netflix announced a Stranger Things VR game back in 2022 with the promise that fans could play as Season 4 villain Vecna and in the footage Meta showed off today, what that actually entails has become a bit clearer. Stranger Things’ Starcourt Mall is now a playable location in Roblox. “As fans, we want this game to be very special and we are energized by the support and enthusiasm we’ve received from Netflix and the Stranger Things creative team.” “We are awed that we get to live within the Stranger Things universe and dive into the rich inner worlds of its characters through Tender Claws’ unique approach to nested worlds and immersive dreamscapes,” said Tender Claws directors Samantha Gorman and Danny Cannizzaro in a joint prepared statement. / 1:23 PM EDT 0 Stranger Things VR will launch this fall for Quest 2 for 29.99, publisher Netflix and developer Tender Claws announced. We’re extremely curious to see how their work develops with the writers of Stranger Things. The developers routinely play with VR’s unique advantages over traditional mediums, toying with ideas like scale, jumping between realities, and telekinetic superpowers all mixed with a touch of existential dread. Their use of live performance on Quest headsets in The Tempest was remarkable for demonstrating how a performer could manage ticketed shows in standalone VR while slipping into characters to tell one of Shakespeare’s stories. They have tagged it under Reality Programming, Variety Entertainment, and Comedies. ![]() Tender Claws is the studio behind some groundbreaking VR experiences including The Under Presents, The Tempest, and Virtual Virtual Reality games. Netflix isnt giving too much away about the show. NX posted a 15-second edited clip which showcases Scoops Ahoy Ice Cream Parlor, the mall's secret elevator and the mysterious underground Soviet facility. The game is described as featuring psychological horror and action “from the never-before-seen perspective of Vecna as he explores unknown realities, forms the hive mind, and enacts his plan for revenge against Eleven and Hawkins.” Stranger Things VR is coming to “major VR platforms” in late 2023 and was revealed in a trailer premiering on YouTube today.

Why did the routes disappear when I applied the netplan?Īm I doing this correctly? Or does anyone know of any current issues with creating/managing network interfaces and ip routes between QEMU-KVM, libvirt, and netplan?

There are better collections out there, such as Ultimate Genesis Collection for the Xbox 360 and PS3, and these games are available on almost all platforms, including Steam, Android and also iOS. So overall this is a solid collection, but to be honest, there are better ways to play these games nowadays. There are also a few emulation issues, but they're quite minor. With that said, the games still look surprisingly sharp if you use component. Also, it doesn't support progressive scan even if you have component cables, so 480i is the best you're gonna get.

The quest is to rescue the Flickies from the clutches of the evil doctor. This feature lends the title some extra replay potential.The fifth game, Sonic 3D Blast, moves away from the 2-D elements of past games and into the world of 3-D. While the title features the same levels for both characters, they take different routes through the stages.

Consider your home’s architectural style and exterior finishes when purchasing outdoor privacy netting. Choose a privacy fixture that blends with your home’s silhouette and colour scheme for a seamless, effortless result. Creating a Cohesive Outdoor SpaceĬreating a cohesive, designer-inspired outdoor space requires attention to detail. If you’re looking to simply establish boundaries on your property, consider using an outdoor roller shade or privacy planter.

I filed my piece and travelled back to London she went to stay with friends. I got what I call “wee stage fright” – given the bathroom was essentially an echoey cupboard – and she played, appropriately, Enya’s Orinoco Flow from her phone for my ease, which made me laugh. In the morning, the first thing we saw was the Crags against a bright-blue sky through the unclosed curtains. We fell asleep, limbs tangled, my head on her breast. It was the kind of sex that is extremely hot and satisfying, but also characterised by a lightness and cheeriness, an acknowledgment of the perfectly executed situation we had found ourselves in. It is, of course, superficial to focus on the fact that someone has a wonderful body, and it certainly isn’t a requisite in finding a partner attractive – most of us would be in trouble if it were. The upside? A stunning, unparalleled view of Salisbury Crags and Arthur’s Seat. I was staying in the smallest possible room of a summer-vacated university halls, with a single bed (look, journalism budgets aren’t what they once were) and a window ledge that doubled as a desk. Salisbury Crags from Hannah Jane Parkinson’s window, with Arthur’s Seat just out of shot. Both of us, almost giggling like teenagers, admitting: “I wasn’t sure whether you …” We both, evidently, did. It felt like scoring a penalty after the longest run-up. When we slipped into a booth for a dance break, we finally ended up kissing. The age-old dance of brushing thighs, extended eye contact and fingers touching when drinks were passed commenced.īy the time we moved on – to perhaps one of the maddest bars I have ever been to, a converted church, in which a full-size model of Frankenstein’s monster was mechanically lowered from the ceiling every hour, on the hour, while green strobes lit up the arches – we were drunk, and having a blast. I had no idea whether she was single and, even if she was, whether she was remotely attracted to me. We met in a pub that had what I can only describe as giant pits of cushions for seating, which instantly threw us into close proximity. ![]() It amuses me that it took us both being far away from home. I was newly single, bruised, and, after those years of “We should hang out!”, we finally made a firm plan to meet up. She was going to be in Edinburgh for the festival. We followed each other on Instagram and Twitter, however, and messaged sometimes, and it slowly became apparent that she was sleeping with women – as was I. It was great to see her again, but we didn’t meet up afterwards. In 2013, I was surprised when she arrived, for a three-week stint, in the London office of the website I was writing for at the time. ![]() I couldn’t in all certainty tell you if we’d ever had a sober conversation – but I am pretty sure we had kissed a lot of the same guys. She was fun and smart and free-spirited, but our paths only crossed at parties. I was at a college of further education she was studying at drama school. At the time, we were both sleeping with men. In particular, a woman I had known tangentially a decade ago, when we both lived in Oxford. A few people I knew were also there for the festival, and I had time to see them. The weather was glorious, for the most part, and the atmosphere buoyant. It was a work trip that was as much fun socially as it was professionally. This is the type of extremely fun commission that journalists dream of, and this particular piece resulted in me being on the cover of G2, smiling, with the strapline: “Fifteen naked people, and that was just Monday!” ![]() A couple of years ago, before the world shut down, the Guardian sent me to the Edinburgh festival to write a piece on all of the nude shows taking place that year (there was a record number). ![]() |
