On the way out she bumps into childhood friend Mickey (ubiquitous character actor Ron Eldard), who’s heading to court to finalize his divorce and custody proceedings for his young daughter. This leads Lizzie to call her friend and confidante Janie (Carrie Fisher, in the kind of “matter-of-fact, quick-witted career woman” role at which she was always excelled), but in the process her purse is stolen from her car, and then the car itself is stolen, leading to her being late getting back to her job as a court stenographer, resulting in her termination. Cates plays Elizabeth “Lizzie” Cronin, a meek young woman whose marriage to Charles (played by a slimy Tim Matheson) has fallen apart in the wake of his infidelity, leading to her going, on her lunch break, to the Jaguar dealership where he works to try and talk about their status, but Charles has little time for her and brushes her off in condescending fashion, as he’s more focused on trying to bed a blonde woman who’s browsing the selection of vehicles in the showroom. The film stars Phoebe Cates, on the shortlist of the most beautiful women of all time and a fine actress with a number of excellent dramatic and particularly comic performances, in one of her last film roles before retiring to focus on motherhood and private life. Beyond a small but loyal cult following that treasures the film as I’ve come to, its existence has scarcely been acknowledged since its original theatrical release. Night Shyamalan have routinely received scathing notices for efforts that have pushed boundaries and tackled tricky and meaningful thematic material in powerful fashion), but I’m surprised, given the lip service paid by media figures to concepts like “female empowerment” and “self care,” and the accompanying need for entertainment to portray them, that not only was the film so uniformly pilloried upon release but that it hasn’t recuperated in the intervening three decades. It’s hardly a novel occasion when critics miss the mark on a movie (great filmmakers like Paul Verhoeven, Abel Ferrara, Brian DePalma and M. The late Gene Siskel referred to it as “easily one of the worst movies ever seen,” Entertainment Weekly’s Owen Gleiberman gave the feature a “D” grade and singled out the late, legendary British comic actor Rik Mayall as “obnoxious” (not just his performance Gleiberman referred to Mayall himself as “an obnoxious British actor”) and capsule review king Leonard Maltin described it as a “putrid mess… recommended only for people who think nose-picking is funny.” ![]() It made a decent profit on a modest, roughly $7 million budget, but was noteworthy mostly for being lambasted roundly by critics of the period. ![]() Drop Dead Fred is a 1991 “Black Comedy Fantasy Film” (according to Wikipedia) that came and went without much fanfare.

![]() ![]() As an extreme security measure, users of the online password manager are advised to change their master password and all the passwords stored in the vault anyway.“Lastpass’ developer system was hacked, which may or may not be a risk to users, depending upon the privilege level of the hacked system. They will never ask to know a vault's master password, either. In this case, LastPass remarked that they will never call, email, or text a user and ask them to click on a link to verify their personal information. There could be additional risks concerning phishing attacks or brute-forcing attacks against online accounts associated with users' LastPass vaults. A very determined malicious actor could try to brute-force the encrypted passwords, LastPass says, even though the attempt would be "extremely difficult" as the company routinely tests "the latest password cracking technologies against our algorithms to keep pace with and improve upon our cryptographic controls." That's not like saying that there are no risks or dangers coming from the breach, however. All things considered, LastPass is trying to send the message that, despite the extended breach of the company's platform, users' encrypted data should still be safe from any nefarious intent. And there are no indications that such data was accessed - so far, at least. However, LastPass said, the encrypted fields "remain secure" even when in cyber-criminals' hands, as they were generated with a 256-bit AES-based encryption algorithm and "can only be decrypted with a unique encryption key derived from each user's master password using our Zero Knowledge architecture." Zero Knowledge means that LastPass doesn't know the master password needed to decrypt the data, while decryption itself is performed only on the local LastPass client and never online.Īs for credit card data, LastPass partially stores it in a different cloud environment. The container includes both unencrypted data, such as website URLs, as well as fully-encrypted sensitive fields such as website usernames and passwords, secure notes, and form-filled data. The cyber-criminals were also able to copy a backup of customer vault data from the encrypted storage container, which is stored in a proprietary binary format. With the stolen keys, they were able to further compromise the platform's security by copying a backup that contained "basic customer account information and related metadata including company names, end-user names, billing addresses, email addresses, telephone numbers, and the IP addresses from which customers were accessing the LastPass service." The black hat hackers obtained the cloud storage access key and dual storage container decryption keys, LastPass says. Now, a follow-up security notice on that same incident is saying otherwise: the malicious actors were able to access some users' data too. Users' data and passwords remained safe and unsoiled. In the original report about the data breach incident discovered in August, LastPass said that "only" the company's source code and proprietary information were compromised. Users should change their passwords asap. The company is now saying that the damage done by the unknown hackers is much worse than was initially assessed. Facepalm: LastPass, one of the most popular password manager services out there, was breached this past August. ![]() In such a case, just go for what's closest or most visually pleasing to your eye. If your monitor is low quality, it may not be possible to hit both at once. The X behind the man should be just visible, but you should be able to tell the shirt from the jacket. In the OSD, move the brightness up and down until you're happy with the results. Once you're happy you can spot the difference, press “Next”. If this is your first time calibrating, find the brightness and contrast settings on your display and press “Next”.Īgain, Windows 10 will show you what a good brightness and contrast ratio looks like. ![]() The next step is to adjust the brightness and contrast of your display, but it's worth noting that you can skip this if you're already happy with those values. Decide if you need a brightness and contrast adjustment.This should remedy issues if your Windows 10 colors are washed out. It may instead have the option of several presets, in which case you should select the one that looks closest to use and use the monitor calibration slider to get the rest of the way. However, it's worth noting that you should always use your monitors OSD gamma first if it has one. Windows will now provide you with a slider from which you can calibrate your display's gamma. Essentially, you want the dots in the middle to be a grey tone that blends, rather than a black or white circle. The wizard will now show you what a display with correctly optimized gamma should look like. Take note of the correct gamma calibration.If your monitor allows it, you may also want to move the OSD to the side so you can get an uninterrupted view of the calibration window. Things to look out for include the color sliders, which should all be at 50, and the gamma setting. Some interfaces have an option specifically for this, but on others, you'll have to manually move each back to where they started. You'll want to start on a level playing field when calibrating your display, which means resetting your monitor to its defaults via the On-Screen Display (OSD). Reset your Windows 10 color calibration and align the OSD.Read the text on its start screen and press “Next”. The Display Color Calibration wizard will now launch. Select the relevant control panel result, as pictured below. To start the process press the Windows key and type “calibrate display color”. You don't need advanced knowledge to Calibrate your monitor in Windows 10 is easy, but you will need some familiarity with the display's OSD and a good eye for detail. Let's get started: Calibrate Your Monitor in Windows 10 Calibrating your monitor with Windows 10's native tools is still no replacement for a professional hardware-based approach, and shouldn't be used for serious photography work, but it can enhance your general day-to-day experience when playing games or watching movies. The tool also guides you towards the correct settings for your screen's OSD, which can do a better job than Windows software alone. However, they can fix glaring issues like poor gamma, warm or cold hues, and washed-out colors by adjusting your ICM/ICC profile. The changes you make through Windows 10 color calibration won't drastically change the quality of your monitor – for that, you'll need new hardware. As such, it's often worthwhile to calibrate your monitor in Windows 10, and we're going to show you how. Other times, the ambient lighting of the room can affect the visuals of your display and make it hard to see. Out of the factory, monitors and laptop screens can present washed out colors, a shift in RGB tones, and various other issues. Only the search of clues and multiple plays will make the events more clear, showing a mature and twisted plot full of symbolisms. The storytelling is fragmented and cryptic. The art style is unique and interesting, particularly the enemies, creepy and symbolic guests of the house. ![]() The house is like a nightmarish and alive Escher painting, with hidden endless corridors and rooms full of stairs. And the main character is there, a little point alone in these multiple rooms, while the lights start to suddenly turn off. In each play you will see new rooms, new furniture, while a zoom out function will help you to see the completeness of the house. The real protagonist of the game is the house, a sort of living organism that will randomly expand and change every time. Are you brave enough to try this game in the middle of the night? Between real or fake urban legends (Bloody Mary style), these notes add a level of creepy suggestion that goes beyond the game only, especially if you are playing the game alone at night (recommended). The best examples of this creepy metagaming are the “games to play at night”, a collection of activities to do in the middle of the night, like watching outside in the dark and imaging faces. Moreover, some specific pieces of evidence, diary pages and notes are also addressed directly to the player. For example, the main character will often address directly to the player, watching the camera while talking. The game is an incredible example of metagaming in the pure essence of the word, and is able to disintegrate the fourth wall involving the player to a new level. Then, with time, you will start to understand the hidden mechanisms of the game, that some voices are trying to help you, or that is better to leave some lights off. ![]() No tutorials, aims or guidelines, everything is unfair and against the player, cheap deaths are behind the corner. The game doesn’t want to help the player in any way. Nothing in Knock-Knock is useless, but it is there for a specific reason, maybe for the plot or as fundamental gameplay advice. These voices are one of the most scary factor, listening a little girl saying “I am here” while the light suddenly goes off is truly a nightmarish experience. A girl will tell you to stay, while a man maybe will threat you saying “I am coming”. ![]() Lighting will suddenly crash the light bulbs, while different and mixed voices will talk in your head. The sound compartment is incredible and creates a dense atmosphere of disturbing insecurity. Because a unique atmosphere is what Knock-Knock is aiming for. ![]() The gameplay is simple, but this is what the game wants to be: an uncomfortable and mental experience, not just a normal game. During the night, instead, the objective is to survive to the arrival of unwanted guests, while keeping the lights on. During the day you can explore the house and the woods, searching for fragmented clues on what is happening. The main character is not a healthy person but is affected by a severe mental instability. This is the introduction of Knock-Knock that is already telling two important things: 1) this is not a normal game so don’t expect pure gameplay, but a unique experience 2) the game is clearly playing with you, faking to be a sort of “found footage” videogame. It is more like an interactive meditation, reenacted from scattered evidence, that happened to fall into our hands.” “What you see before you is not exactly what one would call a game. Knock-Knock is an experience different from any other game, it is more an insomnia or sleep-walking simulator. ![]() It is our intent to work within this license in good faith.

Bug spray. I used to make potions like this when we camped in the Michigan woods in my childhood, and this was the tea I was trying to make. What a nice touch! This is a very unique tea, with mugwort and hops, and I love anything that gives me Macbeth witch vibes. Packaged in an open-shelf-friendly octagonal jar, there was a big, green dried hop ( the stuff you make beer with) on the top of the tea when I twisted off the lid. $26 at Rebecca's Homestead Apothecary Dream Time You could easily drink it during the day after a rough meeting or before that flower-essence therapist appointment. Snooze factor: It won’t knock you out right away, but it will give you a calm, relaxed energy. As I drank it, I felt like I wanted something more, but maybe I’m just not appreciative of nuance. Verdict: If you’re not a fan of chamomile/licorice/all those usual medicine flavors in most sleep-aid bevs, this is your cup of tea. When steeped, this made a darker, gray tea that smelled like oatmeal and tasted very mellow, with hints of.hay? That was the most concrete thing I could put my finger on.

This makes taming more ghost dragons after the first easier when using the Turn Radius taming strategy, as you can tank a near infinite amount of attacks while waiting for the wild Dragon to circle. Ghost Dragons can only harm each other direct contact with fiery breath however immune to the burning effect and biting. It is best to make some sort of make shift cage and trap the Dragon before attempting to fight or tame them. Fighting a Ghost Dragon in high elevation is extremely dangerous as they have high knockback and will send their target flying off, resulting in high fall damage. They are relatively fast and will close distance on a non-mounted character fast and slower mounts even faster. The Ghost Dragon is extremely aggressive, and will breath fire at their target as they close distance between it and it’s target. Has been done by players with no armor and 200 HP without a tame. Do note: The dragon rarely can deaggro and reaggro breaking the circle, at which point it will shoot another breath attack at the player. By tanking 1 or 2 hits with another tame, such as a Carbonemy, and waiting for the dragon to get stuck circling, the player can get off the mount and freely shoot the dragon till it knocks out. A Gargoyle can be dismount mid-air that allow rider to stand on top of it.Īnother strategy, albeit a dangerous one, is to take advantage of the dragons extremely wide turn radius. Since the Ghost Dragon has no natural enemy, a knocked-out Dragon won't be attacked by nearby creatures and does not need to be covered.Īnother, more time-consuming strategy is to use a Gargoyle to kite it around, the speed of the Gargoyle is fast enough for the player to keep a safe distance with a Dragon and go for 2-3 magical arrows. The Quetzal is a bit faster than a Ghost Dragon, fast enough to give a solo player time to hop between rider seat and ballista for 1 shot (don't be greedy). These feeding intervals are estimates - the actual interval will vary per-creature based on random chance.Ī good strategy is using a Quetzal equipped with platform saddle and a Ballista Turret loaded with Magic Ballista Bolts. The numbers given here are assuming you do so.įor passive tames, there is a long wait between the first and second feedings as the creature eats, after which it follows the feeding intervals listed. For maximum efficiency, time your shots so that they land 5 seconds apart. Only two instances of this effect can be in effect at once - a third arrow hit before the effect has fully resolved will result in potential torpor being wasted. ![]() Note: Non-magical Sleepy Arrows fired from a bow or crossbow deliver extra torpor over time for 5 seconds after impact. This attack is only available while on the ground. This attack seems to have no other effect. This attack is only available while flying. The Ghost Dragon grabs a target with less than 200 drag weight. The Dragon breathes a dark fire, dealing 20 damage and inflicting the target with the IGNITED debuff, dealing 75 damage over 6 seconds. For a comparison of the speeds of all creatures, see Base creature speeds.Neutral to tamed Gargoyles and tamed Quetzals Can be distinguished easily by its black flame and long tail. Ghost Dragons are black in color, and have a dark magic particle effect on the center of the body. Nothing can survive an onslaught of ghost dragons. People often use tamed ghost dragons in combat. They get their name from their ghost-like speed and strong attack power. Ghost Dragons aren't ghosts per se, but dark wyverns. |
