Use what you learn in the game to see yourself in a new light. The original Alter Ego did have microtransactions though. - Use the EGO you have gathered to progress in the story and take personality tests. This might not seem like a high figure, but it's significant when it comes to a non-gacha game where people won't make multi-accounts or reroll. The original Alter Ego got more and more popular from mouth to ear and ended up downloaded over 500,000 times. The original game on mobile included many references to psychanalysis authors and books, with an actual list of said books on the official site. It's a game which helps you "find oneself".

If you play the game and like it, please do consider donating some to keep the game online. This game sounds interesting! Where can I get it? I'm going to skip over most of the "Are you sure?" choices, just to speed things along. When I come to a choice in the game (and there are a lot of those) I'll wait for a few forumites to weigh in, and go with the most popular choice. I'm modeling the thread after anowack's excellent Let's Play Lone Wolf series. There's a wishlist of things that aren't in the game that would be added if the developer had time, though the wishlist hasn't changed at all since I first played the game when I was in high school, so I doubt the game is going to get much of a rewrite. There are also a few things that seem pretty mainstream today that didn't make it into this 80s-era game, like being a single parent or being homosexual. I also don't believe that you can die suddenly, though I could be wrong. You can't sell all your possessions and go parasailing around the world. You play your own alter ego in this game, going through life stages while making decisions that impact several characteristics, such. The gameplay consists of a series of situations where a. Alter Ego (Male on this page) is one of the rare games that's not only outstanding in every respect, but, like Fool's Errand, is so original in concept that it's hard to categorize. They then guide this character through seven life phases, from infancy to old age. The player creates a character with different personality statistics, either by assigning them randomly or by answering a few introductory questions. That is to say, there's no option to join the mafia and shoot up a bank. Alter Ego is a game which tries to simulate life itself. The game is pretty focused on "normal" American life. I love playing the game by myself, and now I'm interested to see how the decision process changes when a group is running things. There are also little things like making something for dinner or petting your neighbor's dog. There are big things like getting married or becoming seriously ill.

Tim hardaway game log8/25/2023 Because, just maybe, if those delinquents had gotten away with it, who knows, we might’ve been deprived of ever seeing one of the most devastating dribbles known to man, of seeing the most entertaining trio in basketball - Run-TMC y’all - and of seeing a point guard stare into the camera during a 1990s Nike commercial shoot and utter three ad-libbed words that captured his essence: Take a look at some of Tim Hardaway's top moves and killer crossovers!Īnd so, for a player who delivered 7,095 assists in his NBA lifetime, this was the greatest assist given to him. And those kids never stood a chance against a determined woman, who must have had the foresight to know what the basketball would someday mean to her son. Gwen Hardaway gave chase, up the street, ‘round the corner, down the alley, scraping her legs in the process, blood dripping, blood boiling. A kid in these parts knows not to leave his bike alone for a minute, and the same street law applied for a ball so shiny and new that it still had all its pebbles. Hardaway, however, was born and raised on the South Side of Chicago, a famously edgy hood of hard-working people like the Hardaways, and unfortunately a few crooks as well. So, he sat on it, like a hen does her eggs.Ī lifetime bond was formed and nothing seemed purer. His father bought him a Wilson for Christmas, his very first ball, and the young boy - or “Tim Bug” as he was known - was too small to dribble it. But back in the day - to be specific, a crucial day in his basketball life - Tim Hardaway and his precious ball were taken. It was never easy to swipe the basketball from the master of the crossover dribble, a weapon he popularized and introduced to the mainstream and used to change the game forever. A 5-time All-Star and Olympic gold medalist, Tim Hardaway is set to be enshrined into the Hall of Fame.

Orange vs green coolant8/25/2023 These ‘Extended Life Coolants’ (ELC), were usually orange in colour and offered a five-year or 100,000-mile change interval. “Next came Organic Acid Technology (OAT) coolants, whose chemical make-up offered better protection for cooling systems, and extended the life of the coolant. With these types of coolants, you’d normally have to change them every two years, or every 60,000 miles. “Older coolants that used Inorganic Additive Technology (IAT) were usually blue or green in colour. As our expert, Bruce Ellis, explains: “In days gone by, the colour of coolant was determined by the type of chemicals used to prevent corrosion - meaning you could tell a lot about the type of coolant used by its colour. As such, great care should be taken when topping up your car’s cooling system. Unfortunately, it’s no longer possible to determine a specific type of coolant from its colour alone, as the shade has little bearing on the chemical make-up of the product. Vehicle fluids vary in colour from bright pink to reddish-brown, so if you ever need help identifying which is which, take a look at our car fluid finder chart.Īs for coolant/antifreeze, there are a couple of key differences as to why some products are one colour and others are another. Why is Coolant/Antifreeze Different Colours?

Back quiver for broadheads8/25/2023 So instead of it sitting parallel to the riser, it can sit parallel to the cables and string. With a slotted mounting bracket, you can pull this quiver back toward you a good bit farther than you can basically any other quiver. I’m sure it’s because I was able to slide the quiver straight back toward me. I held even steadier with it on than I did with it off. I was rock steady with the RL-1 on my bow with 4 arrows in the quiver. But what I didn’t expect was how well it allowed me to hold the bow. It was whisper quiet, which is important. The features of this quiver are all great, but it vaulted to the top of my list when I put it on my Mathews V3X 33 and shot with it attached. Reilly The Redline RL-1 can sit parallel to the cables and string allowing for a steady hold. If you want to take the quiver off when you’re up in the tree stand, there’s a simple, metal lever that you raise about 3 inches and then you slide the quiver straight back. Reilly The Redline RL-1 features a simple, secure, and quite removal system. As I mentioned, big two-blade fixed heads won’t sit as neatly, but they’ll still be secured. The RL-1 has great rubber broadhead seats inside the hood that work well with any expandables and with three-blade, fixed heads. The Redline RL-1 features protective rubber broadhead seats. With arrow shafts secured in grippers in the lower third and at the tip, they feel more secure than when you’re using a shorter quiver that grips them in the upper half of the shafts. The long design is a fairly new trend in quivers. The Redline RL-1 secures arrows with a gripper in the lower third. This quiver isn’t cheap, but it’s not over-the-top expensive either. This quiver is a great example of the Redline goal, which is to produce quality gear at a fair price. Redline is a new player in the compound accessory market, but the people behind the company have tons of experience. There’s an identical, 3-arrow version that weighs 6.5 ounces if you want to cut even more weight. The Redline RL-1 Carbon Quiver is a six-arrow quiver measuring 20 inches long, but only weighing 9.7 ounces, thanks to all the carbon in its construction. The dedicated seats for broadheads are great for expandables and three-blade fixed broadheads, but they’re not ideal for broadheads with two large blades.Long design is great for securing arrows to the bow.Rubber arrow gripper holds shafts securely.No rattling when you carry your bow or when shooting.You can slide the quiver forward or back to get it balanced on the bow.Can be adjusted so quiver top stays below top limb and arrows don’t extend beyond bottom limb.Deep, protective hood with rubber lining and dedicated broadhead seats.20 inches long, yet only weighs 9.7 ounces.It balances the bow wonderfully for shooting with it attached. Mathews and Hoyt: Mathews Arrow Web HD, Hoyt Carbon Superlite Stretchīest Overall: Redline RL-1 Carbon Quiver 6-Arrow.Best Fixed: TightSpot Pivot 2.5 2-piece.Best Overall: Redline RL-1 Carbon Quiver 6-Arrow.For the bow-mounted models, I mounted them on my bows to study their profiles and effect on balance, and I took shots to listen for any noise caused by vibrating parts-the coal-mine canary of bad bow quivers.Ĭombining that knowledge and testing, I came up with the following picks for best hunting quivers in the following categories: I put arrows in the grippers and broadheads in the hoods to see how they hold. But in trying to find the best hunting quivers for this article, I took some extra steps to test nearly two dozen quivers. I get the chance to see, touch, and feel all of these quivers as they arrive in inventory, so I know them all pretty well. Lancaster Archery Supply carries just about every hunting quiver on the market-certainly all the major players in the game. So what do you want in a quiver? You want one that holds your arrows firmly in place, protects you from your broadheads, stays quiet, doesn’t stick out awkwardly, and, of course, looks cool. They don’t always pay attention to the working parts of the quiver that earn its keep when the heat is on. That’s all it does.Īnd often times, bowhunters simply look for the cheapest quiver they can find, or one that best matches their bow to complete a killer look. The job of the quiver is pretty simple: carry arrows. The arrow quiver is one of those pieces of gear that bowhunters generally don’t think about too much.

In conclusion, Canada’s push to expand the definition of NATO’s defence spending benchmark reflects the evolving nature of modern warfare and the increasing importance of space, cyber, and AI capabilities. NATO leaders will need to address the economic realities and budget constraints faced by member countries while ensuring that the alliance remains strong and capable of addressing emerging security challenges. The upcoming NATO summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, will be a crucial moment for discussions on defence spending and the expanded definition of the benchmark. Eastern European countries, particularly those closest to Russia, are more eager to meet the goal, while Western European countries show less enthusiasm. This raises questions about whether countries like Spain will be able to aggressively reduce their deficits and increase defence spending.
