And when the signs begin to hint that dream is coming true she couldn't be more excited. Jade wants nothing more than to live in a slasher movie, the idea of a monstrous figure appearing and destroying the town around her appeals on multiple levels - as it would to so many disenchanted teens. This is a book that loves slashers and the rules that shape them just as much as it enjoys upending our expectations of what happens in a slasher story. ![]() Spending her entire life immersed in slasher films as a way to escape, Jade is every horror lover's ideal in character. My Heart is a Chainsaw is his meta-slasher masterpiece that throws readers headfirst into the rural town of Proofrock, home to Jones' very own final girl Jade Daniels. Even the master, Stephen King, is a massive fan of Jones and his uniquely terrifying takes on the genre. When it comes to horror legends, Stephen Graham Jones is a name on every genre fan's lips. My Heart is a Chainsaw by Stephen Graham Jones See our list of the best Stephen King books for more like this. Despite being decades old Misery feels more relevant and scary than ever. King constantly subverts our ideas of who a killer can be and what motivates them, blending domestic drama with horrific violence. This is an intimate and terrifying story with one of horror's most memorable villains in Annie and her passionate love for Misery. It seems like a blessing until he realizes that Annie is his most devoted fan and she'll do anything to keep the Misery Chastain books alive, including keeping Paul hostage until he writes a new one. It's that quest that leads him to a drunken crash in the snowy wilds of Colorado, where he's saved by a nurse named Annie Wilkes. Although the readers of his book adore his Victorian heroine Misery Chastain, Paul has grown tired of her melodramatic adventures and longs to write something new. Misery follows a wildly successful novelist named Paul Sheldon. ![]() You might have seen the iconic 1990 horror movie based on Stephen King's nightmarish tale of super-fandom but if you've never read the book, then it's the perfect time to change that.

![]() I think the only thing that keeps me a Mac user is I prefer MacOS to windows, and Linux just seems to much effort. The only two apps I have that are Mac only are Cheeth and Xcode. As for developing iOS apps for me at least it is painful (mostly because of Xcode which I wouldn't describe as a professional IDE), and I am only on my first one!!! Xcode is mostly awful and like much of the Apple eco systems misses out on stability and useful if uncool features in favour of flashiness, which is a shame because MacOS has some really nice features. (Though I expect to own this iMac for a number of years yet) I would be sad to leave Cheetah behind but I am not sure how much longer I can justify paying over the odds for outdated hardware. #CHEETAH3D REVIEW PLUS#Īs a long time Mac user, from its very early beginnings, going as far back as my Mac Plus and Aldus Pagemaker just out of high school, and as a professional Graphic Designer 30 years later, I always have stood by the real and obvious superiority of the Apple Operating System in design and function. Apple well understood the need of ultimate design supporting an extremely easy and logical GUI. Even to the point of not licensing its operating system in order to control and maintain Apple's core-menu consistency and "Finder" look, in the process changing the whole publishing industry by bringing along with Adobe the rise of "Destop Publishing" as well as completely changing a whole number of other industries.Īnd so it went, 10 years passed, 20 years passed. I have to agree that that is not longer the case, and hasnt been for a few years now. Perhaps that fall off the pedestal has been accelerated with the passing of Jobs, which is, I suppose, what happens when you have a highly praised and successful accountant at the helm in Cook, instead of a forward thinking technically savvy CEO. opting to do the following: Design over Function, and Profitability over Innovation. ![]() So gone is the ease of use, practicality and far reaching tools of productivity. Having said that, the Apple OS is still superior, but just marginally now, with Windows 10 finally getting itself corrected enough to make it a comparable OS in design and function. So, Im still an Apple guy, even after all its flaws, but its looking more and more as I come to the end of my career that Apple will slowly also have a slow death. #CHEETAH3D REVIEW WINDOWS#Īt least in the industry it affected most, the graphic arts.īut I understand if Martin doesnt get around to doing a Windows version. after all, what the Hell do I know about programming. I'm just a starving artist in the age of CoronaVirus. I am not sure there is much difference between self employed artist and self employed developer in the Corona-cene age. Just before I brought this iMac I had a look around for all in one (hell even the odd tower) systems and I could not find anything for a similar price with a 5K display. ![]() The user also sees a message in the app that most features aren't available.

Introduced with Operation Broken Fang, users have the ability to mute the sound that plays when teammates ping an area or to turn off the audio and visual ping entirely. Three of them are simple but powerful tools to make the game’s user base a little less distracting, while the final option is a build-your-own-censorship bot that anyone can use.įirst up is a setting for CSGO’s new ping system. There are four more settings that are related to communication in CSGO’s settings. The “Always” option is the most restrictive setting under “Mute All But Friends.” When enabled, “Always” silences every player that isn’t on the user’s friends list from both voice and text chat. Good communication is often how players win games in CSGO, so this setting could potentially cost players a win. The setting works on chat messages as well, but we recommend only using it if things have gotten out of hand. ![]()
![]() ![]() Despite difficulties with printing, I really like the application. Or even if A4 page lines could be on the Notes page itself so when making notes, I keep within the A4 boundary. It would be really useful if there was the option of fit in the notes/scale them so it would fit on a couple of pages without chopping off any notes. I have found that priniting is a significant challenge as it often prints many MANY pages that have notes that are have missing etc. Many of my teachers prefer to have notes typed and physical form (printed) so it can be presented in a folder. One drawback with this application I have come across however is the difficulty in printing. With regard to images, importing images (and other file types in general) is really simple and OneNote does a great way of presenting it on the note page itself. OneNote is a great platform for me to do this and I esepcailly like it on my iPad Pro with Apple Pencil as I can take hand written notes as well as easily annotate on images.

Microsoft had made it clear that their long-term plans were to phase out Skype and focus on making Teams the main communication platform for their users.

This spurs Lara on to seek the reason for her mother's disappearance. Her father later disappears in search of his wife. While searching for shelter, Lara and her mother took refuge in an ancient Nepalese temple, where Lara witnesses her mother vanish after tampering with an ancient sword. The plane crash was changed to when Lara was nine years old, and with her mother, Amelia Croft. ĭuring the second era, which began with Tomb Raider: Legend (2006), Lara's story was changed to be the daughter of archaeologist Lord Richard Croft, the Earl of Abingdon, and someone who was quickly identified as a highly talented individual while attending the Abingdon Girls School. These provided her with a replacement source of income after her father disowned her over her change in lifestyle. Croft published books and other written works based on her exploits as a mercenary, big-game hunter, and master thief. At the age of twenty-one, she survived a plane crash, which left her stranded in the Himalayas for two weeks the experience spurred her to shun her former life and seek other adventures around the world. Lara attended the Scottish boarding school Gordonstoun and a Swiss finishing school. She was raised as an aristocrat and betrothed to the fictitious Earl of Faringdon. During the first era, beginning in Tomb Raider (1996), game manuals describe the character as the Wimbledon, London-born daughter of Lord Henshingly Croft (Lord Richard Croft in Legend and Survivor timelines). Lara's backstory has changed dramatically over the course of the series. When exploring, she often carries two pistols, but has used other weaponry throughout the series. In the later games, Croft wears a crop top, camouflage pants and black or light brown shorts. The video game sequels introduced new outfits designed for different environments, such as underwater and cold weather. Accessories include fingerless gloves, a backpack, a utility belt with holsters on either side, and two pistols. The character's classic costume is a turquoise leotard, light brown shorts, calf-high boots, and tall white socks. Lara Croft is depicted as an athletic white woman with brown eyes and dark auburn hair, frequently kept in a plait or ponytail. The character's influence in the industry has been a point of contention among critics viewpoints range from a positive agent of change in video games to a negative role model for young girls. Lara Croft is also considered a sex symbol, one of the earliest in the industry to achieve widespread attention. ![]() ![]() She holds six Guinness World Records, has a strong fan following, and is among the first video game characters to be successfully adapted to film.

The promotion of the character includes a brand of apparel and accessories, action figures, and model portrayals. ![]() Lara Croft has further appeared in video game spin-offs, printed adaptations, a series of animated short films, feature films, and merchandise related to the series. Croft has been voiced by six actresses in the video game series: Shelley Blond (1996, 2022), Judith Gibbins (1997–98, 2022), Jonell Elliott (1999–2003, 2022), Keeley Hawes (2006–14, 2021), Camilla Luddington (2013–present), and Abigail Stahlschmidt (2015). The new developer rebooted the character along with the video game series by altering her physical proportions and giving her additional ways of interacting with game environments. American developer Crystal Dynamics took over the series after the 2003 sequel Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness was received poorly. The company modified the character for subsequent titles, which included graphical improvements and gameplay additions. Inspired by strong female icons, Gard designed Lara Croft to counter stereotypical female characters. Created by a team at British developer Core Design that included Toby Gard, the character first appeared in the video game Tomb Raider in 1996.Ĭore Design handled the initial development of the character and the series. She is presented as a highly intelligent and athletic British archaeologist who ventures into ancient tombs and hazardous ruins around the world.
