![]() ![]() Malachor (Malachor V) – the planet where the conclusion of KOTOR 2 takes place, where the treacherous Kreia lures us for a final confrontation. ![]() Perhaps it was included to sprinkle the seeds for future story potential…. The only notable mention it’s gotten since 2015 was a mention by Venisa Doza in the Star Wars Resistance episode, “Rendezvous Point.” Prior to that, it got a mention in the Star Wars Adventures comic where former pirate, Tryki, was picked up by a First Order cruiser near the planet.Ĭonsidering the lore attached to the planet, it seems like such an odd/random early addition to the canon without having anything done with it. Since then, not much has been done with the location. It first made its appearance in The Force Awakens‘ Visual Dictionary included as part of the new Galaxy Map, and fans of KOTOR took immediate notice. In canon, Rakata Prime…well…it hasn’t done much, despite being one of the earliest things re-canonized. Rakata Prime – In Knights of the Old Republic, Rakata served as the home of the ancient (even by the time of KOTOR) race of “Builders” who enslaved the galaxy at one point. Their history is long and the source of a number of stories from the old Expanded Universe material, but for the game, they Rakatan people were the ones who created the Star Forge, the primary McGuffin in the first game. The culmination of the game’s plot comes to its climax on the planet of Rakata. Something tells me we have the potential for more of this history to be explored down the road, as it’s become a more and more important historical point for the canonical Star Wars universe. It’s a small reference, but especially neat since it’s the first time we’ve really gotten a KOTOR nod in live-action. The Disney+ series, The Mandalorian also made reference to the war as The Armorer explains the Yoda-Baby’s Force abilities to Din Djarin. The show really leaned into the lore aspect of the conflict, making the connection to Knights of the Old Republic feel stronger than before. Star Wars Rebels expanded on this even further, giving us glimpses of the ancient conflict via artwork and statues. The Jedi Crusaders was the name given to the rogue band of Jedi who followed Revan in the Mandalorian Wars. In The Last Jedi‘s Visual Dictionary, it explains the necklace artifact Luke has recovered and holds onto, is a Jedi Crusader Pendant (complete with Sith Lightsaber crystal). It helped set the stage for the Deathwatch’s resentment towards the Jedi, leading into some fun episodes with Darth Maul and the Darksaber. The Jedi-Mandalorian conflict scorched the planet of Mandalore, making it nearly uninhabitable. It’s introduction into the Canon actually started during the earlier episodes of The Clone Wars (when the EU was still around) in 2010. All around, it was considered and epochal event in the Star Wars universe. In the old KOTOR comics, the Mandalorian wars formed a major story arc. Throughout the game we’re confronted with reminders of the war, the toll it exacted on the galaxy in general, and the lessons that should be learned from it. Revan’s crusade against the Mandalorians is one of the primary factors in his fall to the Dark Side. In the game, it’s a crucial piece of backstory, that practically forms the basis for the entire plot. Perhaps one of the biggest elements to make it into the New Canon (even though it’s still mostly undefined) is the existence of the Jedi/Mandalorian wars. As such, this seems like the perfect time to look at some of the ways these classic games have been included in the new canon pretty much from the start!Ī list of things the current Star Wars canon has managed to include from the old KOTOR games: Now there’s talk of a remake/sequel back on the table recently with the goal of making it fit into the current Star Wars canon. From talking with KOTOR II‘s director for it’s anniversary the other month to recently going back and replaying them for the first time in years, I’m very much on a KOTOR high at the moment. It should come as no surprise, but I’ve had Knights of the Old Republic on the brain a lot lately. ![]() Original Article was Published January 25, 2020.] In an effort to keep this as a handy resource guide for others, I’ve gone ahead and placed the updates in the appropriate places mixed with the original article text. With the confirmation that KOTOR is getting a full remake, now seemed like an excellent time to update this reference list with the new stuff. ![]() ![]() Quests are based on past historical events, so that they allow you not only to get used to the role of significant personalities in navigation, but also to learn a lot about the life and development of maritime affairs.Ĭhanging weather conditions will complicate the task, which will vary from calm to monstrous storms, hurricanes and tsunamis.

![]() ![]() When I saw him, I couldn't formulate a single thought in my brain other than "Wow!" We spent the rest of the day flirting, and by the second day I had volunteered to drive him on an errand he needed to run. I heard his voice before I saw him, and I held my breath as he made his way up the stairs while telling some joke to his colleagues. In 2011, at a small IT security conference in Dayton, she met a German man who - six years later - would become her husband: The phrase "I won't back down" is engraved on the wedding rings of Niki Vonderwell and her husband, Matthias Luft. There really never had been an easy way out of what I had gone through. And when I saw live for the second and last time at Red Rocks a few months before he passed, I sang just as loudly, surrounded by several thousand fellow fans belting with the same force that I did. When I slept once by myself on the side of a mountain, completely sure that a cougar was going to come by and snack on me, I sang that song from the safety of my hammock. I didn't let being alone keep me from seeing the places I had always dreamed of. I have a lot of favorite songs of his that are lesser known, but there is no greater feeling than crossing the plains of South Dakota, window down, belting "I Won't Back Down." Because I wouldn't. And always, while driving outside cellphone range and social media's reach, there was Tom Petty. The boundless enormity of our country made my previous problems feel so small. We put thousands of miles on my vehicle, and I was happiest when there was a black shimmering strip of highway extending from my hood to the far horizon coupled with endless blue skies. Several years ago, after a harrowing 48 hours in which her house burned down and she finalized her divorce, Sara drove across the country with her young daughter. Sara Register with her daughter, Rhiannon, at a Tom Petty concert at Red Rocks, Colo., during his final tour in 2017. Suicide is an intensely sad option to get out of this broken world, but man, there was no easy way out. I knew he had been sick with mental illness and addiction for many years and suffered at the end of his life with these battles. The line "There ain't no easy way out" took on a new meaning. I felt freaked out this coincidence happened, but the car was so quiet as we all listened without saying a word. As we began driving, this song began to play. My husband, my 1-year-old daughter and I were the last to leave the funeral home. When I was 30, my dad died by suicide with a gunshot through his chest. It was so much fun! I stayed a Tom Petty fan ever since. We would get lost and then find our way out of backroads. My dad would come pick me up on the weekends and we would go for a drive in the country, listening to Tom Petty (and of course this song) loud with the windows down in his old wood-panel van, or in later years, his red Ford Probe. On April 12, 2019, it was seven years since I was diagnosed, and I am cancer-free.Įrica Kufus with her father, Bradley Bundgaard, at her high school graduation in 2000. My next two surgeons played "I Won't Back Down" for me. She listened to the whole thing, sitting there in the courtyard. I held it up to her ear and she and my brother and I just sat with tears in our eyes and listened. I said, " Mom, you know what a Tom Petty fan I've been all my life? Well, I used this song to get me through the pain and recovery from the spine surgery, and it's gonna get me through this, too." And I played "I Won't Back Down" for her. I told her I was about to have a double mastectomy, and we wouldn't know my prognosis until the results from the surgery came in. I will never forget going to the nursing home with my brother to tell my 89-year-old mother that I had cancer. Shortly after returning to work, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I did recover, my spine fused, and I was stronger than ever and went back to work after a few months. The lifelong Petty fan that I am (my home is named Dreamville), I of course chose "I Won't Back Down." My surgeon played it for me as I was going under anesthetic before the seven-hour surgery, and I played it during recovery to walk to, my goal being to walk to the rhythm as I walked around my staircase. When I was preparing to have intensive spine surgery, a friend advised me to have a prayer or mantra ready for when it was time to try to walk, because it would be very painful, very challenging. Vallerie Drorbaugh has her mantra printed above a doorway in her home. ![]() ![]() ![]() Sugar plantations are great for making rum, but you’ll also want to grow plenty of food for your growing population. Diversity is simple - for example, instead of raising just meat products at a ranch, you can raise goats for milk and meat, or raise llamas for textiles. Not only because prices on exports are always in flux, but because you can drastically reduce import costs. #4: Always Be Diversifying (But Focus On Industry)ĭiversity in your economy is extremely important. Your factories will be working overtime with plenty of supplies, you won’t have to import expensive materials, and excess materials will be sold as exports. At the beginning of the game, you can drop the ratio down to about 2:1:1, but 4:2:1 will get you an endless supply of profits. Factories give you the biggest payday, so it’s always better to have too much raw material rather than not enough. The magic ratio for making endless money in Tropico 6 is 4:2:1 - four logging camps, two lumber mills, and one furniture factory. #3: 4:2:1 Is The Magic Money-Making Ratio Whenever a Tropican is walking to a restaurant, they’re spending less time working. You’ll also want to plop down useful amenities like doctor offices, grocery stores, churches, etc. The less time it takes for a Teamster to reach the port / industry / producers, the faster and more efficient your economy will be. #2: Less Travel Time Equals More Efficiency Make sure they’re well-payed (max out their pay!) and place industries / Teamster offices near each other.Ī good rule of thumb? Build one Teamster office per factory. The more Teamsters you have, the smoother your economy will grow. Teamsters are the guys that deliver goods to factories, move supplies, and pick up exports. Without efficient Teamsters, your entire economy will shutdown. #1: Keep Your Teamsters Happy & Well Paid To help you figure out each step and keep the big money rolling in, here are 10 economy tips to get you started. ![]() From raw materials, to industrial materials, to products, you’ll have to manage every level of your economy.

AMAZING INVESTMENT 39 Long term tenants in place. ![]() ![]() ![]() I think, fundamentally, there is some definite work that has to happen on the low-level in all game engines to really push Dx12. I haven't looked at the code recently, but that's what it was quite a while ago. "Even UE4, which is a bit newer than CryEngine – originally, the way it was structured, was very much along the CryEngine paradigm, with the same sort of delineation of threads. "That's the fundamental, big work that we're embarking on, and I think that's something that is pretty fundamental to an engine, and they're not always constructed with that in mind. It assumes it's all rendered in the same space, area, et cetera, and so we need to compartmentalize that better and do better management of the individual resources so it's not one monolithic render pipeline. Part of that is a big task, because the renderer in CryEngine was pretty much built with the conception of one thread: a bunch of stuff gets put on the render pipeline, then it gets rendered-out. “There's been some jobification of CryEngine over the past few years, but we're taking it further because we know we're building for a high-end PC, so we have more threads available with more power than you typically do on a next-generation console. We spoke about this with Chris Roberts a while back, who offered up this relevant quote: The new APIs are complex enough that developers must carefully implement them (Vulkan or Dx12) to best exploit the low-level access. The results in other Vulkan games, like the Talos Principle, will not necessarily mirror these. Note that, as with any game, Doom is indicative only of performance and scaling within Doom. This test is not meant to show if one video card is “better” than another (as our original Doom benchmark did), but is instead meant to show OpenGL → Vulkan scaling within a single card and architecture. The GTX 970 was thrown-in to see if there are noteworthy improvements for Vulkan when moving from Maxwell to Pascal. Our test passes look only at the RX 480, GTX 1080, and GTX 970, so we're strictly looking at scalability on the new Polaris and Pascal architectures. Between the nVidia and AMD press events the last few months, we've seen id Software surface a few times to talk big about their Vulkan integration – but it's taken a while to finalize.Īs we're in the midst of GTX 1060 benchmarking and other ongoing hardware reviews, this article is being kept short. July 11 marks DOOM's introduction of the Vulkan API in addition to its existing OpenGL 4.3/4.5 programming interfaces. Benchmarking in Vulkan or Dx12 is still a bit of a pain in the NAS, but PresentMon makes it possible to conduct accurate FPS and frametime tests without reliance upon FRAPS. ![]() ![]() I sent him a video and he hit me back and he was like, “Yo, I love you, man. ![]() VICTOR He had all the attributes - very, very determined - but in the beginning, he couldn’t see past New York City. But with him not performing, I told my D.J.s, run that Pop Smoke, play “Welcome to the Party.” Every D.J., before their artists went on, they played Pop Smoke. OK, well, what if he just shows up with a D.J.? What if he just comes out as a guest performer? It just was frustrating.ĬHERIF It would have been freaking viral.

But this one, it was so tense and it was so many people around. We had snuck him into a couple of smaller events over the summer. SHIVAM PANDYA (general manager, Victor Victor Worldwide) I left “Joker” in the middle of the movie to go figure it out on site. Pop went to the Louis Vuitton store, I went and picked him up, and we were on our way to Queens. After they said that he couldn’t perform, me and Travis Scott were talking and Travis was going to sneak him in. STEVEN VICTOR (CEO and founder, Victor Victor Worldwide) He was disappointed. We believe that if the law says you can be free, then you should be able to perform at our show. He had the actual support of the real people in the city, real gangsters, real positive people, everything in between. TARIQ CHERIF (co-founder, Rolling Loud) He was undeniably the hottest in the city, period. All our actors, the extras, the kids on the bridge watching us shoot scenes, everyone was doing the Woo dance. Kids were coming on the bridge to watch us shoot the scenes. They were tough 16-hour days, overnights, and he shot five overnights in a row. A lot of actors just don’t have the depth of emotion and experiences, but because of what Pop’s gone through, he has a tremendous well to draw from. Within two takes, you could see the swag just come out of nowhere. ![]() You can tell he’s weathered, he’s an old soul. He filmed his first movie role, as the basketball-playing antagonist Monk, in the chef and author Eddie Huang’s directorial debut, “Boogie.”ĮDDIE HUANG (director and screenwriter, “Boogie”) Pop shows up to the audition - Palm Angels head to toe - and he’s just a kid, but he has the voice of 50 Cent and Paul Mooney. The speed with which hip-hop superstars like Travis Scott and Nicki Minaj were gravitating toward him for collaborations portended great things, suggesting that the king of New York might someday become the king of everywhere else, too.įollowing a blistering summer in which “Welcome to the Party” became ubiquitous, Pop Smoke’s small club performances were rapidly expanding to larger venues. The songs were menacing but surprisingly fleet, a crucial balance that satisfies both ground-level fans and those peering in from outside. In short order, he strung together a wild run of breakout singles (“Welcome to the Party,” “Dior,” “Gatti,” “Christopher Walking”) that accelerated him toward hip-hop’s upper tier. In Pop Smoke, it found its most intuitive voice, someone who reveled in bad-guy bluster while using it merely as a first step toward something much more ambitious. For the last couple of years, Brooklyn has been fertile turf, growing a scene - drill - with a sound that’s rowdy, muscular and sinister. So it was with Pop Smoke, the Canarsie growler who was the most impressive rap newcomer of 2019. Every so often, though far less frequently than it used to, New York hip-hop mints an ambassador, someone who’s faithful to the grit of the city’s musical legacy while possessing the charisma to transcend it. ![]() ![]() Assuming the USB drive is set up correctly (see below), the BIOS installer sees the HP_TOOLS partition on the USB drive, copies the BIOS and its signature file to the USB drive then runs the winflash installer.
