Hearthstone meta decks 2022 april7/24/2023 ![]() While the most popular Rogue deck on the ladder is Deathrattle Rogue, the most popular Rogue deck in the tournament is Miracle Rogue. ![]() Sometimes, the Questline serves as the final guarantee to get the discounts you need.Īnd well, sometimes you just do not have enough removal on hand and you die. Sometimes you just get early discounts and have lethal without ever completing the Questline. Combo pieces can be used for survival, as some of them can be replayed from Jace anyway. After Quest completion, Guild Trader can be repeatedly traded to reliably discount it to zero, as long as you have at least one card in the deck to trade with.Īs you can see, there are many ways the deck can win. Other variations of the combo include replaying the damage spells with a discounted Jace Darkweaver while also playing Spell Damage minions on the board. Then, Unleash Fel and Fel Barrage can get you past the post. But it is a no-nonsense, proven way to build the deck.ĭiscounts from the Questline, Relic of Dimensions, and Sigil of Alacrity will eventually provide you with access to a combo turn with the Spell Damage minions Silvermoon Arcanist and Guild Trader. It is not a particularly special build, and others also brought the exact same list. Nothing more, nothing less.ĭeadDraw had a lot of success with his deck, going 3-0 with Quest Demon Hunter in the group stage: It is a reasonably good deck with a playstyle preferred by many pro players. Quest Demon Hunter is not a bad deck by any means! But neither is it a panacea. This is an easy mental error to make, as many of those wins are memorable and many of the losses are games where the deck just whimpers into nothingness. It felt like it just kept popping off and killing people. Watching the games, I could have sworn it was doing better. However, if we count full stats from the first three groups, the deck is sitting at an exact 50% winrate (12-12) without including the mirror matches. Quest Demon Hunter is currently the most-played deck in top-1000 Legend, and it is the most popular deck brought to the tournament. It is flashy, it draws through the deck at a rapid pace, it has a big combo that can kill Renathal decks from full, and it can execute its combo in multiple creative ways before completing the Questline thanks to the discounts you get on the way. Quest Demon Hunter is the new darling of high-Legend players. As a curiosity, all Control Priest lineups made it through, even though Control Priest itself was often banned and did not see many games. Here is the full archetype spread (and results after group stage matches):īy and large, the archetype spread corresponds to the overall bring rates. Archetype-wise, things are a bit more varied as every class apart from Demon Hunter and Mage are represented by multiple archetypes. The remaining slots were filled by 5 Mages and 4 Paladins. That does not leave a lot of spots for other classes. 13 also brought Demon Hunter and 10 brought Druid. This time, every single player brought both Priest and Rogue. ![]() It is the fact that so many classes were left outside that is concerning. However, the meta is always changing, and the class on the bottom changes on regular basis. ![]() Priest was the only class that was brought by nobody last year. There are no Warriors, no Warlocks, no Shaman, and no Hunters either! Only six of the eleven classes have been brought to the tournament! Compare this to last year, when Worlds only had eight players, and those eight players brought nine of the ten classes between them. That competitive issue solved itself, at least this time.ĭeath Knight is not the only class that was ignored. Alas, Death Knight has not turned out to be all that great performance-wise, so none of the 16 players brought the class anyway. The major talking point before the tournament was Blizzard’s new marketing-focused rule that any Death Knight decks cannot be banned even though the tournament is played in a best-of-five Conquest format with a ban. Hearthstone World Championship 2022 Deck Lineups In this article, I take a look at the tournament meta and lineups, as well as any interesting decks that could have ladder uses as well. While there is still some Hearthstone left to be played, we have already learned a lot from the tournament. There are Youtube drops available, and you are not too late to get them from the final day of gameplay that will feature the top 8 players.

Usps passport acceptance7/23/2023 Hardware-wise, it was nice to see Apple deliver on their promise of an Apple Silicon-based Mac Pro. Widgets on the desktop will probably make some folks happy, while others may find better value in Apple’s video conferencing improvements. Of all the new macOS features demoed, the Autofill PDF feature is probably one I’ll find most useful. Widgets can now be placed directly to the Mac desktop in macOS Sonoma. I suspect that this will be the last macOS release before Intel-based Macs are cut off for good. The oldest Mac that is officially supported by macOS Sonoma is the 2017 iMac Pro. If that wasn’t disheartening enough, the “hold my beer” moment was when Apple spent a whopping 5 minutes touting system-wide stickers. ![]() Turning attention to other areas, I will admit that I died inside a little when Apple Software Chief Craig Federighi kicked off his macOS Sonoma presentation by announcing slow-motion screensavers. And within an hour they were asking that we strap screens inches from our eyes. They said viewing a device too closely can cause eyestrain in adults and myopia in children. Earlier in the keynote, Apple announced new features in the Health app for iOS and iPadOS that will monitor how close you’re viewing an iPhone or iPad from your eyes. That doesn’t seem like a lot of battery for a device that is supposed to be immersive, but I suppose we’ll have to wait and see.Īlso unknown are what the long term effects will be on one’s eyesight while using the VisionPro for lengthy periods of time. Image credit: AppleĪpple says battery life with the portable battery pack is 2 hours. Instead, it must be plugged into a power supply, or used with a portable battery seen in this image from Apple. The device doesn’t have an on-board battery. One other limiting factor is the battery life. I wish Apple had promoted this aspect within their promotional video. Using one’s eyes, voice and fingers alone for general computing can really help accessibility. For those who have limited mobility, the Apple VisionPro offers some tantalizing possibilities. That being said, I can see a use-case for this device, as it was shown today. Like many others, I expected Apple to lean into gaming as a use-case for this device, but that category seemed to be largely absent. Imagine saying, “I need to check out those numbers before this next call…oh wait…gotta slip on the ‘ol headset first!” The future of work? Image credit: Apple ![]() …with lots of questions to answer.Įven if I could get past the princely sum of $3500, I can’t fathom anyone clamoring to wear a bulky device just to fiddle about with virtual screens, attend Zoom meetings, or shift between Word and Excel in a virtual environment. The company spent almost an hour trying to sell the ― ahem ― vision of the VisionPro, and (pardon the pun) I’m just not seeing it. ![]() In my humble view, Apple has made a novelty and nothing more. In light of those previous statements, the scene shown during the keynote of the dad wearing a headset while floating around his daughters playing in front of him to “capture the moment”, could not have seemed more out of touch. Technology, as Apple has emphasized numerous times in the past, is a tool that is meant to bring people together. While I can see certain appeal in strapping on a pair of goggles to escape the confines of reality while on a lengthy flight, the potential teased in Apple’s own videos felt like the introduction to a new dystopian era. Call me a skeptic (or a fuddy duddy), but I’m less enthused about Apple’s new entry into “spatial computing.” A space case of a device… No doubt, the most talked about device of this year’s WWDC keynote will be Apple’s new VisionPro. ![]() The Apple World Wide Developer’s Conference keynote presentation has come and gone, and I’m still processing the deluge of announcements made in the rather lengthy two hour keynote. “Just casually sitting on my steps with my Vision Pro on.

Cannibis shatter7/23/2023 ![]() This gives it a texture many cannabis aficionados find easier to use, though it also causes wax to lose its potency faster than shatter. You won’t be able to look through wax because its molecules are all thrown together in a heap rather than neatly stacked. If shatter is peanut brittle, wax is peanut butter. Some products may have a more gummy or crumbly texture. Good wax is gold in color and looks like, well, candle wax or ear wax. ![]() The molecules in shatter are neatly organized, making it hard and giving it a longer shelf life. In fact, it’s comparable to peanut brittle because of its color and texture. It’s hard, rigid, and brittle like rock candy. Shatter is translucent or even transparent with an amber tint. The names shatter and wax do a pretty good job of letting you know what you will get. These different methods affect how the molecules arrange themselves in the final product. The precise methods are technical, mostly related to how they control temperature during the extraction and cooling process. Though shatter and wax are both cannabis oil concentrates produced using butane, manufacturers can make subtle changes to drastically affect the end product. Butane is highly flammable, so using it to make concentrates can be dangerous. It is not safe to produce wax or shatter at home. If you enjoy the strong highs that shatter and wax provide, remember to buy from a trusted dispensary to ensure a quality product. If that is a concern, you may prefer products made with less or no solvent, such as bubble hash or rosin. Some marijuana enthusiasts are wary about consuming butane hash oil concentrates too often due to fears that they may inhale too much butane. Depending on the manufacturer’s technique, the concentrate may resemble candle wax or a translucent peanut brittle – wax and shatter, respectively.īoth products are suitable for dabbing and can create a faster, more powerful, and longer-lasting high compared to smoking a joint or taking hits from a bong. What is left behind is a highly concentrated substance. Butane is a chemical that is able to bind with cannabinoids and terpenes, the substances in weed that produce a high and other effects.Īfter extracting these cannabis compounds, the product cools, allowing the butane to evaporate. Shatter and wax producers make both substances by pushing butane through marijuana flower. Shatter and Wax: Different Butane Hash Oil Products Read on as we explain these differences to help you try to decide which is best for you. While they undergo similar techniques for production, the two products look and feel very different. Shatter and wax are two popular types of products suitable for vaping. Dabbing rigs use weed concentrates, but there are so many different types on the market it can be hard to keep them all straight. Many marijuana enthusiasts enjoy consuming cannabis using a dabbing rig.

Vector adobe illustrator7/23/2023 ![]() ![]() We've found the interface to be easy and intuitive, and there are plenty of interesting filters and tools. This Illustrator alternative can handle Illustrator files, and you can also import AI brush collections. Its big sell is its wide range of scalable vector brushes and the inclusion of tools that some users might miss in other alternatives to Illustrator, such as a shape builder, a blend tool and a pattern tool. It used to be available for Mac only but there's now a Windows version too. VectorStyler is a relatively new Illustrator alternative that seems to be expanding its offering. More expensive than competing options with a one-off payment If you’ve never used it, you might want to take advantage of the free trial to see how it feels in practice. It does work out a little cheaper than Illustrator but really the main reason to choose CorelDRAW over Illustrator would be if you prefer the interface and workflow. It can easily import Adobe AI and PSD files, so there are no problems with compatibility, and CorelDRAW now has a browser-based app and iPad app too, making it easier to use the program on the go. It adds in new features including dynamic asset management and a faster adjustments docker for photo editing. There's also CorelDRAW standard, which is aimed at enthusiasts rather than professionals. ![]() CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 2021 is available for a one-off payment while the new 2022 version requires a subscription. Because the interfaces and approaches are quite different, fans of each tool will argue, with equal vehemence, that theirs is the easiest to use, but there’s no real objective way of settling this.ĬorelDRAW isn't exactly a cheap Illustrator alternative, but it is more flexible in terms of how you can pay because you can get the software in several ways. Both are packed with features and both have their passionate advocates. In fact, it's hard to say whether CorelDRAW or Illustrator is the 'better' tool. First launched in 1989, CorelDRAW is an Illustrator alternative that has a big following among artists and illustrators.

Caffe macchiato caldo7/23/2023 Many bakeries double as bars, so if you see a pasticceria that serves coffee, you know you’ll be in for great pastries. They’re everywhere – even most villages have a bar that serves coffee, pastries, sandwiches, drinks and sometimes light meals.Ĭheck out my post on breakfast in Italy for all you need to know about ordering at a bar. The place to go for coffee in Italy is the bar. The ultimate guide to Italian coffee Where can you get coffee in Italy? A bar Italian coffee culture at home: the Moka pot.The following places absolutely knock it out of the park when it comes to cappuccino: Panella – L’arte del Pane located at via Merulana, 54, Rome, Phone: Sant’Eustachio Il Caffè located at Piazza di S. Next time you’re in the Eternal City, there are 3 places where you will be hard pressed not to find delicious “caffè,” as the Italians call it. Now that you know the history of the cappuccino and when to drink it, all you need is the where. So if a plain espresso is too bland for your midday coffee preferences, what kind of coffee drink can you order after noon instead of a cappuccino that would be acceptable by Italian standards? Consider the following options: caffè macchiato caldo (an espresso with a bit of steamed milk on top), caffè marocchino (similiar to the caffè macchiato, this drink consists of pouring a little of the steam frothed milk foam into the cup), caffè al ginseng (a creamy coffee with ginseng in it), caffè con panna (coffee with a very generous dollop of whipped cream on top), or caffè corretto (espresso that is “dirtied” with a bit of liquor, usually sambuca or grappa) to name a few. Though coffee is drunk continuously throughout the day in Italy, for Italians, it’s not acceptable to drink cappuccino in the afternoons. Not only is it considered an eating blunder by Italians to pour a big glass of milk into your stomach on top of what you’ve just finished eating (especially if you’ve just eaten anything containing tomatoes), but cappuccino is strictly a breakfast drink and you generally will not find any card-carrying Italian drinking it after max 12pm. Off the night? Too many to count, right? This is a huge coffee NO in Italy. How many times after dinner in America, when we’re out at a restaurant, have we ordered a hot, foamy cappuccino to finish Thou Shalt Not Drink Breakfast Drinks After 12pm The “wet” cappuccino, which has more steamed milk and less foam. This is for those who prefer to taste more of the coffee’s strong flavor and less of the milk. This has less steamed milk and more foam. Some variations include the “dry” cappuccino. While these are the standards for a traditional cappuccino, many 21st century versions of the cappuccino exist as well. The milk foam results from small air bubbles being forced into the milk during the steaming process. The standards today for a classic cappuccino are as follows: a double shot of espresso must be combined with the correct amount of milk (roughly an equal ratio of foamed to steamed milk), which should create about 2 centimeters of milk foam on top, have a velvety consistency, and a temperature between 60 and 70 degrees celsius. ![]() The steamed milk added on top of the coffee that we have come to know came as a later addition as the drink began to morph. ![]() The modern cappuccino was first made mention of in northern Italy around 1930. After that, it began to evolve over the following decades and take on different variations. ![]() When the cream and coffee are combined, the color created was the brown robes worn by the capuchin monks. This coffee with cream and sugar was nicknamed ‘Kapuziner’. Said drink was described as coffee with cream and sugar. The cappuccino that we know today has been evolving since the 1700s. It’s a descendant of the coffee drink “Kapuziner,”Ī Viennese coffee drink that began making appearances in coffee houses in Vienna in the 1700s. So how do you know when and how to enjoy your favorite frothy drink? Let’s have a look at the following coffee breakdown to find out. When it comes to the appropriate time to drink cappuccino, most foreigners might find that they’ve got it all wrong! There is a correct time and way to enjoy coffee drinks in Italy.

Star trek tmp7/23/2023 This all got sorted out when La-La Land did the 3CD set in 2012. That release ended up having many problems, with mostly incorrect performances for the added tracks and it was not at all complete.Īdditionally, assumptions were made at the time that Sony Music had perpetuity album rights for the title, but it turns out that they didn’t those had expired in 1994, which meant that the 1999 release really shouldn’t have happened at all. Largely that was because of the 1999 Sony Legacy expansion, which we had actually tried to stop because we already knew the original Director’s Edition project was going to happen. But I was also very interested in basically putting together the release that our Director’s Edition team originally wanted to do in 2001 but we were not able to. All along the plan was to do a 2-CD version this time, for reasons both financial and administrative. What label wouldn’t? It’s a score that should always be available. The impetus was simply that La-La Land Records sold out of the 3-CD version that they released in 2012 and it’s a title that they wanted to keep in their catalog. What was the impetus for this new release? Septemwas Day One of the scoring sessions for STAR TREK–THE MOTION PICTURE (Mike Matessino) Because it really is one of the most horrible deaths in the history of Star Trek, but it also got us a PG rating.Roll #1 of 37 ready for transfer. ![]() You really want to make people nervous from this, and you need to scare them to the point of really making it the realistic fear of what was happening. What would it sound like if, finally, you could make some sound, what would that sound be?' It’s funny, I talk about it, and the hairs on the back of my neck still stand up… So I said to the sound department, ‘We’re not G. I’ll tell you exactly what I told my sound department… ’It should definitely be a nails on a chalkboard level of tension,’ but I also said, ‘Imagine if you were in the most horrible pain of your life and you needed to scream just to get it out, but you had no way, no orifice, to even scream. David Fein talked about instructing the updated scream for the Director’s Cut, and what it needed to sound in order for the rating to be changed: Viewers don’t see much else but hear a frightening and almost otherworldly guttural gasp. Of course, the one scene that features the gruesome and unimaginable death, thanks to a malfunction in a refitted transporter, goes a long way.įor those who don’t remember, Science Officer Commander Sonak and a female officer became stuck midway through and are briefly seen in a deformed state. Star Trek: The Motion Picture is a lot of things, but few would accuse it of being a movie that’s full of frightening moments and scares that raise a rating (it did almost feature a fist fight between Captain Kirk and Jesus, though). And that would spark people’s interest in the film and like, ‘What could possibly have been done to that film at the time to gain a PG rating.’ And we knew that if I was able to send the film back in for re-rating, it would and it could get a PG. And we realized that the G rating that they gave, time had changed from a G just being something that wasn’t as harsh for audiences, to G kids film. We wanted to also tell people this was a better film and a different film, a mature film. The producer explained that it was part of sending a message to the audience that the director’s cut was a different movie from the original: Fein noted that during his discussions with director Robert Wise, it was decided that the scene needed to be more powerful but also have another purpose. ![]() Fein about the latest 4K edition of Star Trek: The Motion Picture Director’s Edition, and I, of course, needed some answers about the changes made to the transporter scene.
