![]() ![]() Considering I can barely get through an extended play session without having to recharge my PS5 DualSense, the fact I've owned a Pro Controller for a week and haven't had to recharge even once is mightily impressive. The controller's preposterously long battery life of around 40 hours shouldn't be ignored either. This is not to say these games aren’t perfectly playable on the Joy-Cons - that’s how I had experienced them up until now - but if you want the best play experience possible on Switch, you should perhaps consider upgrading. Even pulling off complex platforming moves in Super Mario Odyssey just felt a little easier on the Pro controller. Plus, I quickly came to appreciate the sizeable shoulder buttons. I did find games that rely on quick reflexes and rapid button presses such as Cuphead more comfortable on the Pro Controller. Although, it would probably be felt across longer play sessions as the Joy-Cons are not particularly comfortable to use for hours at a time. ![]() I found that in slower single-player games such as Alien Isolation and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic the difference was negligible to non-existent. But nevertheless, I found that Splatoon 3 played better with a Pro controller to me personally.Ĭurious to see if this difference could be felt across multiple games, I’ve spent the last few evenings touring through my Switch library. Of course, this can probably be chalked up as a mere coincidence rather than definitive proof the controller had made me a better player. I even ranked top of the leaderboard in my first match with the Pro controller. My aiming noticeably improved, and I felt significantly more in control of my avatar’s movement. Jumping into my first Splatoon 3 match with the Pro controller in my hands, I immediately felt the difference. What is indisputable is just how excellent the Switch Pro Controller feels in action, especially compared to the Joy-Cons. Of course, this could be by design as the Pro controller is ostensibly designed to be more portable than its rival controllers, but I err on the side of liking my controllers a little heavier. I’m not suggesting it feels cheap but compared to either the PS5 DualSense or the official Xbox Wireless Controller, it definitely doesn't have the same heft. Right out of the box, I was surprised at how light the Nintendo Switch Pro controller felt. ![]()

Characters move stiffly, the face doesn’t emote the way you think it should, and the eyes all look lifeless. ![]() As detailed as the textures are, the animations are the weak spot. That’s disappointing, too, because QB’s graphics are otherwise phenomenal, though they live in the uncanny valley as a result. The reality of TV doesn’t blend well with the attempted reality of the game world, so once you leave the cinematic section and return to gameplay, the world ends up looking a lot more fake. While the show is good for what it is, it doesn’t belong alongside a video game. Even the smaller parts are well-acted, so kudos to the casting department and director. The acting here is fantastic, with some heavy-hitting nerd icons taking up the screen like Aidan Gillan and Lance Reddick. This decision will affect both your gameplay and the TV show that weaves through the story at the end of each act. There will come points in the game where you’ll be forced to make a choice. This is standard fare for Remedy, and quite frankly it’s frustrating. You walk at the pace they dictate, you find yourself in scripted cutscenes way too much, and you’ll have trouble establishing a rhythm with the gameplay. The biggest culprit in this title is how often the game rips control from the player. This adds great depth to the game, because it comes just as you’re getting comfortable and familiar with your skills. There are enemies against whom your powers don’t work, so you’ll just have to outsmart them tactically. Overall, abilities in the game are fun to use and come with some cool upgrades. There’s a missed opportunity here, though, as it’d be nice to turn this into a tackle or charge that does knockdown and damage. If you aim immediately after your dash, time will slow and give you the opportunity to damage enemies before they can react. You’re also given the Time Dash, which is a kind of blink power. It gives players a great way to manage the enemy damage output while dispatching threats. If you catch an enemy in your Time Stop, you can stack bullets on the edge of that bubble to increase damage. Time Stop gives you a localized “static” field, of sorts. Gameplay is introduced very well, and you have some really cool powers to play with. While the game and show are individually good (though only passable in some places), Gameplay Remedy’s attempt at a hybrid creations falls flat because of the limitations of both mediums. This go around, they’re messing with time and taking control from the players. Quantum Break is brought to you by Remedy, the same studio behind the sleeper hit “Alan Wake”. ![]() Katy perry witness tour review family8/14/2023 ![]() ![]() Skip it - better go watch "Taylor Swift: Speak Now World Tour Live" - that is how it should be done. And almost all performances weren't live, phonogram was used - so - really? Live concert? Ridiculous show. Maybe that was the point, but it just didn't click with my. ![]() Because the show is bizarre in it's tastelessness. Overall, i hope i won't offend anyone but here is the thing - "Katy Perry: The Prismatic World Tour" is probably meant for all who are 16 years old and younger. She had very warm conversation with the public, scenography was much more better, and we are talking about much more younger singer (at the time)! So i can't say that it's just my age that was a factor that i didn't like K.Perry's show. Witness: The Tour was the fourth concert tour by American singer Katy Perry, in support of her fifth studio album, Witness (2017). The target audience is kinda same age, but it was just marvelous show. It was like New Year’s Eve came early for the tweens of Brisbane they got to stay up late (too late for a school night) and it included Firework, one of Perry’s growing list of chart-toppers. Maybe i'm to old for this show (30 years), but, i remember a ~ year ago i saw "Taylor Swift: Speak Now World Tour Live" (2011). POP superstar Katy Perry opened the Brisbane leg of her worldwide Witness tour with a bang at a packed Entertainment Centre on Wednesday night. Something about pica's and her garden and something like that. First hour was even more bizarre - singer kinda lacked any conversation with her pubic, but when she did started to talk, i wish she wouldn't. I kinda enjoyed Kate Perry's "Prism" album - it was good pop album. this one of the most disappointing shows i have ever saw. ![]() Saw in on Blue Ray, on good sound quality, huge screen and. So finally i managed to sit through "Katy Perry: The Prismatic World Tour" (2015) show. For 12,000 young fans, it began Wednesday at the AT&T Center with pop star Katy Perry’s Witness: The Tour and her opening act, Carly Rae Jepsen. Either way, she still believes in the idea of the untouchable persona, which aligns “Never Really Over,” with its willfully imprecise lyrics and its carefully reverbed vocals, with “Me!” by her old frenemy Swift.įor Swift, that approach hasn’t yet fended off the newcomers eager to take her place in the near future.Greetings from Lithuania. At 34, maybe she views that position as being out of reach perhaps her prime-time gig on “American Idol” makes edge a liability rather than an asset. (Zedd co-produced “Never Really Over,” his second collaboration with Perry following the recent “365.”)īut Perry seems uninterested in projecting the kind of rough edges that have come to define pop stardom in the years since she was regularly topping charts. “Never Really Over,” which presumably heralds the arrival of Perry’s fifth studio album, has healing in mind as well its video follows Perry as she checks into a rehab facility for people with broken hearts.Īnd like Cyrus, Perry is borrowing sounds from today’s young hitmakers - in this case the close-miked ASMR finger-snaps that figure so prominently in Eilish’s music. It’s a christian rock album, and 17-year-old Katy was the album’s primary songwriter. ![]() Her very first album is called Katy Hudson, because that was her name at the time. Taylor Swift recently dropped her single “Me!” Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber teamed this month for “I Don’t Care.” (Both songs have been blocked from the top spot on Billboard’s Hot 100 by Lil Nas X’s viral country-trap smash, “Old Town Road.”) Now Cyrus and Katy Perry, both of whom have been with us for well over a decade, are back with new music that came out Friday. J 12:01am ET Other pop stars get more attention for their transformations, but Katy Perry has quietly covered quite a bit of ground. Not so long ago, Post Malone and Cardi B were redefining how idols emerge (and what their music sounds like) then Billie Eilish and Lil Nas X showed up and threatened to somehow make Post and Cardi feel like the establishment. Music has moved quickly in the streaming era beyond the models that flourished in the 2000s and early 2010s. Miley Cyrus plays a pop star in an upcoming episode of the sci-fi series “Black Mirror.” Set in the near future, the dystopian drama looks as creepy as usual - but it’s also a little quaint, since it suggests Cyrus will still be the type for that job in 10 or 20 years. Katy Perry returned to the American Airlines Arena last night for her Witness World Tour, and though she opened 2017 saying this album cycle would mark a more socially conscious departure. ![]() Words with friends grabber8/14/2023 ![]() You can also copy your screenshot to the clipboard or upload it to cloud storage – just click the appropriate icon.

Turning this very traditional doctor-patient power structure upside down in order to give people a sense of agency is what Folx is aiming for. He says it keeps him “on an even base” that makes his HRT process easier. The gel, it turned out, was a better choice for him. “I didn’t even know that gel was an option,” Peace says. Peace says that the clinicians at Folx - many of whom are queer or trans themselves - conferred with him and patiently explained his different treatment options. Other medical providers had only offered him HRT by way of injection, which gives some users a rollercoaster of an energetic and emotional experience. In fact, Peace seemed downright overjoyed about the experience he’s having with Folx. “I didn’t know if I wanted to go to a doctor or back to Planned Parenthood, where I’ve had only okay experiences,” he says. Peace is a trans man who was looking for HRT resources when he came across Folx. “I’ve never felt so understood,” Ray Peace, a 28-year-old freelancer in Sarasota tells me. Though Folx just launched, it’s a breath of fresh air for its pioneering users. “We are trying to change the power structure,” Breitenstein says, “At Folx, we want people to know that they can be and do what they want and we’re not trying to put them in another box.” Breitenstein says that she wants medical care to be caring and even fun for trans people. The reality is that a staggering percentage of TGNC people (and to be fair, Americans in general) don’t have insurance and even if they do, some of these services aren’t covered and they end up paying out-of-pocket anyways.įolx is giving more TGNC people access to services they already need, but it’s also offering them in a totally new way. Folx starts at $59 per month and goes up from there, depending on the type of medications and therapy obtained.Īlso, Folx operates outside of your insurance, if you have it. Members receive tailored services that include gender-affirming hormone therapy (HRT) erectile dysfunction (ED) PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis for HIV) and STI testing. ![]() Here’s how it works: Folx is a membership-based digital healthcare platform. “There is a lack of basic literacy about what people need.” That’s where Folx is stepping in. “The medical mainstream does not know how to care for this community,” she says. “Gender identity disorder” was considered a mental illness diagnosis until 2013, and “ transexualism” wasn’t removed from the World Health Organization’s disease manual until 2018.īreitenstein wanted to change the dehumanizing experience that trans people have in medical settings, and she also wanted to give TGNC people access to medical care that actually understands our needs. “Trans people are treated as pathologies in medical settings,” Breitenstein tells me. Breitenstein, founder of the new queer and trans healthcare provider Folx, saw the need for a revolutionary new approach and stepped up. Many young trans people have also had to resort to risky ways of accessing “grey market” hormones.Īlso, imagine that you are sick with, say, COVID-19 and you are more scared of what may happen if you seek treatment than you are of the disease. A new company, Folx, is revolutionizing healthcare for queer and transgender people - and maybe everyone else too.Īccording to recent surveys done by the National Center for Transgender Equality, a third of trans people said that they had had a negative experience when they went to the doctor and almost a quarter of trans people didn’t go to the doctor when they needed to because they feared discrimination and violence. ![]() But many of the hurdles queer, transgender, and gender non-conforming (TGNC) people face are based in structural bias and discrimination about who they are. Some of these challenges are rooted in mainstream medical ignorance of some of the unique kinds of care that trans people need, such as hormone replacement therapy (HRT). face extraordinary healthcare challenges. ![]() Supergoop sunscreen gwyneth paltrow8/14/2023 ![]() The secret lies in its plant-powered formula of organic mango leaf extract and organic leaf of life, together with the brand’s advanced Anti-Pollution Complex.Ĭomes in two shades – Translucent and Rose.Īvailable at all Clarins stores and counters,, ,, and ĪLSO READ: The ultimate guide to the best sunscreens for Singapore weather 2.

We tried a guitar but you can’t bend it enough.” To get the right sound on ‘Paint It Black’ we found the sitar fitted perfectly. “We had the sitars, we thought we’d try them out in the studio. “They make sitars and all sorts of Indian stuff,” said Richards. The sitar was most likely a discovery during the band’s break in the South Pacific around a tour in Australia. Adding to their musical experiments, guitarist Brian Jones first introduces the sitar into the mix-and marked the first time the Stones featured the instrument in their music-and would often play the wooden instrument, sat cross-legged, during television appearances. Hopefully, this gives you possible insight on the song.Inspired by more Indian and Mid-Eastern sounds, the song was written while the band was in Fiji for three days. This being the deepest part of the song means, he knows if he wants the pain to go away he has to move on, there is no choice in the matter, he HAS to. ![]() The girls symbolize future relationships and he uses to words 'I HAVE to turn my head, until my darkness goes away'. He sings about painting the door, then immediately sings about girls in 'red dresses'. I have to turn my head until my darkness goes' 'I see a red door and I want it painted black This specific break up, as you can imagine, is much more severe she has passed away. The door is likely symbolic of moving on in life, painting it, rather then going through it is likely him stating his depression wont allow him to look past the fact that moving on would imply romance and finding other love.Īnyone who has gone through a serious break up knows the internal battle that goes on inside, you don't want to move on, yet you must.

"I want to see the sun blotted out from the sky". "don't want to see the sun flying high in the sky." "I want to see it painted, painted black, black as night."Īnd it does not say. I must say though I do have issue with incorrect lyrics posted at the end here. Painting it black is a metaphore for his mood and how he does not wish to be consoled, merely left alone to "fade away and not have to face the facts".Īs far as the girls walking by in their summer clothes, they simply remind him of his loss and must therefore turn away, ".until my darkness goes". the protagonist blaming himself for not being able to help or stop the death from happening.

The red door referrs to his heart, which he now wants painted black, as to never be opened again. The lyric is about the death of his girlfriend, and attending the subsequent funeral after. No drugs, no Vietnam, no affirmative action. You people are reading way too much into this. I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes If I look hard enough into the settin' sun I could not foresee this thing happening to you No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue It's not easy facing up, when your whole world is black Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts I see my red door, I must have it painted black I look inside myself and see my heart is black Like a new born baby, it just happens every day I see people turn their heads and quickly look away With flowers and my love, both never to come back I see a line of cars and they're all painted black I have to turn my head until my darkness goes I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes No colors anymore, I want them to turn black I see a red door and I want it painted black ![]() AuthorWrite something about yourself.
