![]() ![]() Each player controls a single character with a set of distinctive abilities that improve over the course of a game and which contribute to the team's overall strategy. As it is, the game has a distinct novelty value if you like low-budget, weird games.Multiplayer online battle arena ( MOBA) is a subgenre of strategy video games in which two teams of players compete against each other on a predefined battlefield. Had the game just dove all-in on the idea of creating a destructive playground in which players could just run wild, it might've been a lot more appealing. Giant Machines 2017 is only vaguely sim-like and suffers from a slew of flaws. The machines-especially from a distance-look decent, but the landscapes are sharp and blocky, and close-up textures and architecture are rather primitive. The tracks aren't particularly good, but I kind of enjoyed the low-budget equivalent to the standard triple-A soundtrack.Īdding "2017" to the name might suggest this is a modern, up-to-date experience, but the graphics engine looks more like 2006 (or older). It was all stuff I've certainly never heard before. One sounds like weird '80s-era action-movie synthpop, while another seems to be Eastern European metal. It’s not so noticeable when you’re driving a giant dump truck, but for unusually shaped vehicles (such as the excavator), everything is awkward.Įvery vehicle has a radio with several music stations. ![]() Viewing from the operator’s booth in some of the machines barely lets you see what you’re doing, and the third-person viewpoints tend to be even worse. ![]() The camera has an array of options, which are frequently all bad. Instead, take a deep breath, contemplate life, and think about your day as you literally drive from Point A to Point B at about one or two miles per hour. You can control almost every aspect of the various vehicles with a control pad, for instance, but don’t expect a riotous, over-the-top destructive rodeo. When you finally do get behind the wheel of these mighty machines, the game opts for simulation-level pacing-without really delivering any kind of in-depth simulation. There’s some of that, but there’s way too much fixing cables, replacing batteries, and other tedious tasks that just get in the way of controlling the vehicles. Anyone who looks at a game like this and thinks, “Hey! That’s a great idea!” is likely doing so because they want to bust things up with giant equipment. The game's snarky narrator is also amusing as he gives you mission goals at the beginning of each level, frequently complaining about the incompetent guy who had the job before you.ĭespite the inherent glee of operating massive mechanical contraptions and snarky narrator aside, the game takes itself way too seriously and focuses too much on out-of-place mini-objectives. The 12-year-old in me couldn't help but get a modicum of guilty pleasure out of plowing through town in a dump truck the size of a house or pushing massive piles of snow for no real reason at all. Similar to the appeal of movies about sharks in tornadoes, there's a goofy, yet earnest glee to playing with monster machinery. There's a certain novelty to the game as a whole. ![]()

I have to say that although the cocktails are super creative and delicious, they are a bit on the pricier side. Plus, a doll box looking suspiciously similar to a Barbie box. Neons and flowers everywhere as well as pink bunnies and other animals and beach chairs, balloons and other equipment. Scroll down to see the photos and you will get what I mean. RELATED – The perfect pink dresses for a Barbie movie screening. The carousel went from a floral wonder to a sleek black and minimalist, while the other side of the rooftop became the Pink Bunny Beach, their summer pop-up. There, the whole decorations had totally changed. The third time was as part of a Barbie day, before I went to see the movie with a friend. The decoration changes to reflect the season. The first time was in the summer while the second time was back in February 2023. The first two times I went there, we sat on the carousel. The concept is great and perfect in this social media day and age. The carousel makes for a super cute experience and you will snap some very pretty Insta-worthy shots for sure. Yes, the Instagrammable factor is what sold me. ![]() Magic Hour is another one, which I have experienced three times now. The Ready Rooftop Bar with their $5 margaritas and $1 tacos is one example. In New York City, they work with the Tao Group to create incredible bar and dining experiences. When in London, I did work with them on marketing activations for my previous employer, and I have stayed at their hotels in London and San Diego. Magic Hour is located on the rooftop of Moxy Times Square in Midtown Manhattan. While Magic Hour Rooftop Bar and Lounge gets all the views, the cocktails are great and the venue is the cutest. In addition, with all the high rise buildings and skyscrapers, you can combine some incredible dining experiences with amazing views. That city is so big, you can never run out of activities and things to do. One great thing about New York City, is that there is always something going on, always something new to try. ![]() ![]() ![]() Geminiani was 9 years younger than Vivaldi, but published his work on playing the violin late in life - 1751, when he was 64. ![]() It's noticeable that Geminiani loaths plain 'detache' (all the notes long and flat) and often dislikes 'sautille' (all the notes articulated by springing from the string), but is happy to use either mixed with slurs or dotting. This covers articulation in some detail, though you have to refer to the notes at the beginning to know what sign means what, and you have to known that "Ottimo" > "Buono" > "Meglio" > "Cattivo" > "Pessimo" and that "Particulare" means 'sometimes'. Probably the best source for this is Geminiani's treatise (as Andres pointed out earlier) It's a 20th-century, maybe "steam-roller" aesthetic, but just a different taste, neither better nor worse. I wonder perhaps modern slurs actually work wonderfully for the modern bow. Also, if we want to cite later treatises, why not Geminiani's Art of Playing the Violin? Closer to Vivaldi in space and time, (but also stylistically completely different). Mozart has great info in general for the period, but I wonder if we might need to be very diligent with sorting out the anachronistic things for Vivaldi. maybe look at what Vivaldi's father, his teacher, was doing at S Marco in Venice. I think if we're gonna go down the HIP-route and use treatises, we can do better by looking at sources and clues before and during Vivaldi's youth, e.g. 1719) would had exposed to other more a la mode music I would speculate. I'm not aware of any reference of Vivaldi in the Mozart's Versuch, that they ever met, and the young/teenage Leopold Mozart (b. And change from what previous concertmasters in the same orchestra had indicated.Īnd editors of the older Baroque works issue conflicting editions, just proving that there is never one correct way to play anything.īut Vivaldi's music was old-fashion by his last years - he died in poverty in 1741. Sort of like now, when concertmasters change bowing indications from what the composer indicated in the printed score in order to suit their concept of sound and bowings. They marked what they thought was important and figured that everybody knew the common sound of the time and left it up to the individual how best to play the music. So it's impossible to say either way, and I bet Vivaldi (and the other great composers of the Baroque) didn't care all that much. But that was most likely not the case in actual performance practice of the time the music was composed in. ![]() People often think that all those runs of Baroque 16th notes (or 8th notes in alla breve) would have been played detache since there were no legato indications. Sparse dynamics without gradations have lead people to think that things were either loud or soft without any shadings or gradual transitions between. Over the centuries we have lost what would have been common knowledge at the time which composers would not have bothered to write down since everybody would have known it. Some people think that if it's not marked clearly on the original, then it shouldn't be done. ![]() ![]() ![]() Most spasms resolve on their own without needing any help. The short spasm you experience can be categorized as eye myokymia or an eyelid twitch.īut if you experience strong spasms forcing your eyes close, it is categorized as blepharospasm.Įye twitching is unpredictable in nature and is usually painless and harmless in nature. It might feel like a gentle tug under your eyelid and be mild in nature. While for some, it can last for a few minutes, for others, it may last for days. It gets annoying when you can’t stop the pulsating under your eyes. ![]() Consult your doctor if there’s a case of severe eye twitch persisting for a long time. Try managing your lifestyle by reducing caffeine intake, taking balanced meals, less screen time, using eye drops, and applying a hot or cold compress. Stress, fatigue, dry eyes, eyestrain, allergies, nutritional imbalance, or caffeine can cause it. When performing eyelid hygiene, you can use over-the-counter eyelid cleansers or use baby shampoo diluted with warm water and a cotton bud / pad to gently wipe your eyelid margin near the root of the lashes in a horizontal direction, twice a day.Pulsating vein under eye is a normal health condition that can have causes that aren’t due to underlying disease but are related to your current lifestyle. Performing eyelid hygiene to remove excessive oil on the eyelid margin can help To prevent the common eyelid myokymia, simple measures include: ![]() However, repetitive injections are required as the effect of the injection will wear off, typically after 4-6 months. For both hemifacial spasm and BEB, botulinum toxin may be injected into the eyelid and facial muscles to relieve the spasm. For hemifacial spasm, neurosurgery to move the offending vessel away from the facial nerve is the only way to treat the root of the problem. If the twitching involves half of your face, or both eyes simultaneously and is persistent, do seek medical attention as it may be more than the usual eyelid myokymia.įor hemifacial spasm, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is recommended to exclude a compressive lesion on the facial nerve on the same side.įor both hemifacial spasm and BEB, conservative measures rarely help. However, blepharospasm have been reported to be caused by neurological conditions such as stroke and Parkinson disease etc. The term “essential” means no underlying cause and majority of the cases we see occur in isolation without any evidence of neurological or eye disease. In this condition, the patient may experience involuntary lip pursing, chewing or tongue movements etc. Sometimes BEB can progress to involve other muscles of lower face and neck in a condition termed Meige Syndrome. If severe, it can interfere with the patient’s vision and performing of their everyday activities such as crossing the road. This progresses to involuntary spasm or closure of both eyelids. Initially, there is increased frequency of blinking in response to bright light, wind or stress. In benign essential blepharospasm (BEB), the patient experiences intermittent involuntary spasm and closure of both eyelids. Hemifacial spasm does not resolve spontaneously. In less than 1% of the time, the compression is due to a brain tumour compressing on the facial nerve. Most cases are thought to be caused by compression of the facial nerve responsible for innervating the facial muscles on the same side, by a normal pulsating blood vessel in close proximity which have enlarged with age. In hemifacial spasm, the person experiences intermittent, involuntary contraction of the muscles of one half of the face (the eyelid closes as if it is winking and the half the mouth is drawn upwards). This is almost always benign and usually resolves spontaneously or with conservative measures. It is usually precipitated by fatigue, eye strain, stress, too much caffeine or local irritative factors such as dry eyes or oily eyelids (meibomitis and blepharitis). It is intermittent and can last for several days to weeks. It affects only the lower or upper eyelid on one side. Some describe it as ”feeling a heartbeat “ below the eye. This is the sensation of eyelid “jumping". Most normal people will experience this at least once in their lifetime. The most common type of eye twitching we see is eyelid myokymia. ![]() Singapore National Eye Centre (SNEC), a member of the "The eyelid twitches because of intermittent bursts of electrical activity in the nerves innervating the eyelid muscles (orbicularis oculi) leading to intermittent involuntary contraction," explainsĭr Loo Jing Liang, Head & Senior Consultant from the ![]() ![]() ![]() If you like the shades of white collection, you can also enjoy the palettes of shades of other colors as well.įrom shades of red to shades of purple, there are the collections of almost all basic colors.

This was a tough one that we tried to explain in the Ranked Blog. View on reddit Why are there no bonuses for Diamond+? We have a lot of work to do here and expect more changes to come season over season as we see player behavior evolve. We want all players to run the race, and not wait for as many teams as possible to crash out. Hiding in positions and just refusing to engage to win is not good and healthy for the game. What we DO NOT want to happen is exploitative play. Part of winning the match is survival and being tactical in what fights you take. We want the focus in Ranked to be playing to win. View on reddit While you did say in the blog ratting is unfun, can you say more directly that is still a legitimate way to play a battle royal?
