10/18/2023 0 Comments Ag mcdaniel 2021![]() ![]() The report claimed there were numerous instances in the 2020 election where Democrats “brought chaos and uncertainty to our sacred Democratic processes” and made a series of policy recommendations for Republicans to pursue – including the elimination of universal mail-in voting. Over the summer, for instance, the RNC issued a 23-page report accusing Democrat-led states of using the Covid-19 pandemic to change election practices to the benefit of Democratic candidates. ![]() Still, leaders at the highest levels of the party’s election apparatus have done little to steer the former President’s focus in a different direction. Some Republicans have expressed concern that the party’s relentless focus on voter fraud and willingness to enable Trump’s lies about the election will depress turnout in the midterms, potentially thwarting a GOP wave that could place the House and Senate back under the party’s control. ![]() “We have to show our voters we are putting processes in place that will ensure the election is fair and transparent.” “We have to talk about the things that people saw,” she said when asked about Trump’s false claims of widespread voter fraud. However, McDaniel added, Republicans in certain parts of the country can also benefit from talking about election reform. “Everybody else can do their own thing, but I think we should be talking about Joe Biden.” I’m not talking about anything else other than what Biden is doing to destroy our country: high gas prices, an open border, an opioid crisis,” she said. “I think every Republican right now should be talking about 2022. “I’m not a constitutional scholar,” McDaniel said.ĭespite encouraging Republicans to focus on pocketbook issues and their political opponents as next year’s midterm elections approach, McDaniel did not bat down Trump’s relentless focus on relitigating the 2020 election or his attempts to strong-arm GOP governors and lawmakers into supporting election audits in various states. Earlier this year, the RNC unveiled a “Committee on Election Integrity,” and, on Thursday, McDaniel declined to say whether Trump’s pressure campaign to convince then-Vice President Mike Pence to block congressional certification of Biden’s Electoral College victory was unconstitutional. Her comments also come as former President Donald Trump, who McDaniel said remains an overwhelming influence on the Republican Party, continues to push conspiracy theories about the 2020 election with the help of leaders across the GOP’s election apparatus. While the RNC has for months criticized Biden in press releases and rapid response materials, McDaniel’s comments Thursday marked the first time the party chairwoman has clearly stated that Biden “won” the 2020 election. We know that,” McDaniel said at a breakfast hosted by the Christian Science Monitor in Washington, DC. “Painfully, Joe Biden won the election and it’s very painful to watch. Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said Thursday she recognizes President Joe Biden as the 46th president of the United States, even as she claimed there were “lots of problems” with the 2020 election that Republican candidates should address. ![]() 10/18/2023 0 Comments Croc gimp suit![]() ![]() Stella Inquisitorus (1993) is a space opera version of In Nomine Satanis/Magna Veritas that takes place in the year 6993. In Bloodlust (1991), a heroic fantasy world inspired by characters such as Conan and Elric, the gods have incarnated themselves into weapons with great magical powers, and exist in a symbiotic relationship with their human wielders. By interacting with humans, the CRU's begin to acquire human emotions and a conscience. The player may play a robot from the CRU or a rebel standing against this situation. This ultra-violent society is controlled by the CRU, the Cybernetic Repression Units ( Unités de répression cybernétiques, URC). In Heavy Metal (1991), in a futuristic world, a great wall separates the rich inhabitants of the north and the poor of the south (Africa). The character may adopt the role an angel or a demon, but these are very similar. In In Nomine Satanis/Magna Veritas (INS/MV, 1989), the contemporary world is the battleground of heaven and hell, in what looks like a war between two gangs or secret services. door hinges are crabs and swords are the legs of praying mantises).

Croc met the founders of Siroz (Nicolas Théry, Éric Bouchaud and Laurent Tremmel) in the "20 Naturel" RPG club of Vélizy (near Versailles) in the mid-1980s at secondary school (high school). Croc's games are edited by Siroz (a homophone of the French word cirrhose, meaning "cirrhosis"), now called Asmodée éditions, French for Asmodeus. He is considered in his own country as a role-playing games pioneer and one of the most important designers in the ambit of such games. Christophe Réaux (born December 16, 1965, France) largely and mainly known by the pseudonym Croc, is a French games designer, specialized in role-playing games (RPG) although he also has designed at least both a board game ( L'Âge des dieux, Age of Gods ) and a miniatures game ( Hell Dorado ). ![]() 10/17/2023 0 Comments Cold cathode lights![]() ![]() Most systems that have LCD panels run on direct current (DC), the DC has to be converted to AC in order to power the lamp. Typically, the resulting temperature color is in the 2800 - 3200K range, which looks like a warm to standard white light. The phosphorus make-up determines the color temperature of the visible light output. The ultraviolet energy excites the phosphorescent lining which then produces light in the visible range (400 to 700 nm). When the high voltage is applied the resulting arc ionizes the internal noble gas which produces ultraviolet energy. The tube is then sealed at both ends with an iron-nickel electrode located at each end of the tube.ĬCFLs operate on high-voltage alternating current (AC). These backlights usually have a hollow glass cylinder - 2 to 10 mm in diameter, that’s internally coated with a phosphorescent material and filled with a noble gas (most commonly argon). This includes the full spectrum of white lamps commonly used in various LCD screens as well as specialty color, UV, and infrared lamps that are used in a wide range of applications.ĬCFLs have been used for years as a backlight source.

Most beat-em-ups go with generic one punch, one kick-style combat. Mostly, I think it may have come down to Sinoc knowing about the artist, Francine, that really made it exciting and possible to put all of the elements together.ĭXP: When I played the game, the combat was crisp and clean, like a dedicated fighting game. ![]() In short, Tristan was working on an action game for fun and after talking with Ziggurat for a while, we determined that it would be really, really cool to bring back Slave Zero, keep the spirit of things and introduce this new genre to the series. ![]() The core design of Slave Zero X was always a hack-and-slash, Devil May Cry style action game – even before we started speaking to Ziggurat. This is why we wanted to go with a drum-n-bass style soundtrack as well. However, as you mentioned before, there are some aspects of that original game that are pretty chunky, and I think the things people remember the most are some of the more unique mechanics, the world building and the 90s feeling of it all. I’d say better aspects of the original Slave Zero is the feeling of being able to do things like pick up and throw cars at other mechs in a big city, running and gunning. WW: I’m a big fan of the old Armored Core games, so of course, I can’t speak for the whole team, but I think it’s safe to say that we’d love to make a mech game at some point. There’s a LOT of detailed and beautiful art in this title!ĭXP: When it came time to consider how the game would play, why was the decision made to go with 2D beat-em-up over the original’s third person? At the biggest point of production we had around 40. This preserves the style of the original Slave Zero, while also opening up our own expanded universe with Slave Zero X.ĭXP: How many people are currently working on SZX? You will notice our protagonist moves through a 3D world, we think very seamlessly, while holding onto the style of a 2D side-scroller. We wanted to make a 2D spectacular fighting game while holding onto the 3D aspects of the sequel. We wanted to keep the bio-mech anime feel and expand on the world through a prequel that would end right where the original Slave Zero started. We naturally were already pulling strongly from the same pool of influence when we picked Slave Zero as our IP. The art style the original Devs wanted was closer to a bio-punk western, influenced by the waves of Anime that was just starting to circulate in America. WW: The original game struggled with time, technological, and budget restraints. When building SZX, how did the original game inform the art and design of the characters and settings?
