Nier automata 2b and a21/28/2024 If he competes in the Flooded City's Colosseum in Routes A and B, he expresses disgust at the androids' resistance in their treatment of the machines, which rivaled the cruelty he thought only humans were capable of.ĩS is generally cheerful, optimistic, insightful, and eager to help when interacting with other androids, whether they are Resistance or YoRHa. As time passes, 9S' views on machines evolve as he learns more about them, eventually caring genuinely about Pascal and his villagers. Despite his skepticism about the apparent peace treaty, his overwhelming curiosity leads him to agree to accompany the machine to its destination. As the newest model, he is more likely than his peers to delve deeper into YoRHa's secrets and frequently asks questions that those around him advise him not to.Īs a YoRHa member, he has a deep distrust of the machine lifeforms that now inhabit the planet, which he expresses fully when an emissary from Pascal's village confronts him and 2B in the abandoned amusement park. According to A2, 9S is a "high-end model," implying that he is one of the most recent Scanner types. Typically working alone, he and other S-type models are deployed on the frontlines as YoRHa's primary intelligence gatherers. RELATED: 7 Best Games Yoko Taro Worked OnĪs a Scanner model, 9S is naturally curious about the world around him, particularly about machine lifeforms. She also openly expressed sorrow when she was forced to kill 9S after becoming infected with a logic virus in Ending A, crying violently after she killed him and expressing immense joy when it was revealed that he transferred his consciousness into a Machine body to save his life. Still, she later becomes enraged when she learns that his memory of their initial rendezvous has been erased. For example, at the start of the game, she becomes emotional because she finally has a chance to save the 9S she knows from Engels' attack. When she witnesses 9S' critical condition during the final battle with Adam, she expresses pure rage and raw hatred for the Machine Leader, swearing she will kill him.ĢB expresses frustration and pain with her proper role in relation to 9S at numerous points throughout her adventure, despising the cycle they are trapped in. When 9S agrees to help the Resistance member in the Amnesia side quest, 2B accuses him of falling in love with her. For example, she amuses 9S when he talks about taking her shopping after the Machines' war is over, even using his preferred nickname of 'Nines,' though she quickly retracts it. She becomes more friendly and willing to engage in conversation as she and 9S become closer. In certain circumstances, 2B is prone to slipping into her emotionless guise. Furthermore, despite her professional demeanor, 2B finds 9S' use of the term "ma'am" to be "unnecessary." Her cold and aloof exterior is essentially a defense mechanism against the horrors of life and the reality of her programming. 2B simply states that the memories are important to her, which is all that is important. She is also very considerate of others' wishes when she and 9S are searching for the memories of an android with amnesia by visiting various locations, 9S wonders what's so special about them. She adores her friends, petting her Pod as if it were a pet and even going so far as to find a flower picture for Operator 60. However, in the face of certain situations, 2B exhibits a notably sardonic wit and can even be hot-headed.ĭeep down, 2B is a lovely person. In addition, unlike her partner, she has high regard for the chain of command and rarely questions her superiors' orders. As a combat android, she discourages idle chit-chat about trivial matters and is generally reserved around others. During the 14th Machine War, she served as a soldier. She is a YoRHa android designed to fight the machine lifeforms that have invaded the planet on behalf of the survivors. In NieR: Automata, 2B is the main character on Route A.

Tips for long road trips1/28/2024 Many bicyclists frequent the Parkway and usually move at a slower pace than cars. Note that the Parkway’s speed limit is usually 45 mph or less in some places. Definitely an unforgettable trip which you can enjoy no matter what time of the year it is. Commence your journey from Either Boone or Cherokee and find your way to Blue Ridge Parkway Road so you can indulge 5 and a half hours of Mountainous terrains, the occasional eerie fog, to waterfalls, wild turkeys and birds, to scarlet sourwoods to deep reds and vibrant yellows during the fall season (End of September-October) to a whole new array of wildflowers that bloom orange, white, pink, purple and red during spring (May- June). With a ban on billboards, commercial traffic and the absence of any commercial towns, the 45 mph speed limit will be a delight as you can truly admire one of the USA's finest scenic drives. This type of rental is ideal if you want a fast ride for your next vacation.Īt 469 miles (755 kilometers) long connecting the Shenandoah National Park in Virginia to the Great Smokey Mountains National Park in North Carolina, Blue Ridge Parkway drive is definitely a road trip you won't find anywhere else. Recommended car: For epic style and unmatched performance, enjoy a standard sports car rental such as Dodge Challenger. Note also that vehicles longer than 21 feet are restricted between Avalanche Campground and the Rising Sun picnic area parking. Useful tips: The parking lot at Logan Pass is usually full from 9:30 am to 4 pm during high season (mid-July to mid-August), so expect road delays and difficulty finding the best parking spot. This road is truly a visual treat so also keep those eyes peeled for the odd sighting of mountain goats, bighorn sheep and other forms of wildlife that will be flying around. Commencing from either Route 2 Or Route 86 This east/west, west/east road trip in Montana will lead you on a spectacular journey over the continental divide for an easy 1 hour and a half duration through lush green forests alongside Lake Mac Donald, down into deep valleys under plunging glacial covered mountain tops, to Saint Mary Lake where you can view the 100 ft (160 m) high gushing crystal waterfall. This 50 miles (80 kilometers) jagged cliff-hugging mountain journey, is the only road to span the Glacier National Park in Northwest Montana-and what a treat it is. Recommended car: Since most park roads are paved and some are quite narrow, renting a compact car such as Ford Focus or Nissan Versa has become a popular choice, especially for traveling couples.

Credit score range1/28/2024 Fair credit score (VantageScore: 650 - 699 FICO: 580–669) Going over your report will reveal what's hurting your score, and guide you on what you need to do to build it. If you want to get into the "good" range, start by requesting your credit report to see if there are any errors. If you currently have a credit score below the "good" rating, you may be labeled as a subprime borrower, which can significantly limit your ability to find attractive loans or lines of credit. Moving up to the "very good" range could mean saving more money in interest costs over the life of the debt. What a "good" credit score means for you:īorrowers with "good" credit scores will likely have a good range of credit card and loan types available to them. Lenders often call people in this category "prime" borrowers. The average VantageScore and FICO credit score for borrowers in the US falls in this range. Good credit score (VantageScore: 700 - 749 FICO: 670–739) Keeping them from an exceptional score may be a higher than 30% debt-to-credit limit ratio, or simply a short history with credit. How to earn a "very good" credit score:Īs with borrowers in the excellent/exceptional credit score range, borrowers labeled as "very good" by their FICO Score will have a solid history of on-time payments across a variety of credit accounts. They also likely have a diverse mix of credit demonstrating that many different lenders are comfortable extending credit to them. Additionally, they will most likely have a credit utilization rate of less than 30%: meaning that their current ratio of credit balances (what they owe) to credit limits (the amount of credit that are approved to use) is roughly 1:3 or better. How to earn an "excellent" credit score:īorrowers with credit scores in the excellent credit range likely haven't missed a payment in the past seven years. Similar to "exceptional/excellent" a "very good" credit score could earn you similar interest rates and easy approvals on most kinds of credit cards. People with excellent/exceptional credit scores are typically offered lower interest rates. What an "excellent/exceptional" credit score means for you:īorrowers with exceptional credit are likely to gain approval for almost any credit card. When lenders evaluate a specific loan or credit application, they are more likely to dig into the distinct details of a borrower's full credit report and credit history before they approve or deny the application. Ultimately, lenders use a credit score range as a broad view of a borrower's credit history. Lenders can then assign appropriate interest rates, fees, and payment terms on your line of credit. Lenders use these credit score ranges as a way to quickly, consistently and objectively evaluate your potential credit risk. They are then split into ranges, based on how low your credit score is to how high it is. What are the credit score ranges?īoth VantageScore and FICO scores span from a low of 300 to a high of 850. It's important to check your credit reports and stay updated on the factors that the agency took into consideration. Keep in mind that the algorithms for calculating scores change from time to time. The VantageScore or FICO algorithms are then applied to those reports to determine your credit score. These three credit bureaus, Experian ®, Equifax ® and TransUnion ®, collect financial information about you, like your payment history, and put them in a credit report. The FICO Score - a score calculated with software from Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) ® and used in 90% of lending decisions.The VantageScore - a competitor to FICO, created in 2006 by the three main credit bureaus.There are two main credit score calculation models in the US: By the same token, if you have late or missed payments, then your credit score will factor this in, assigning you a number that signals a higher risk of default. If your history is filled with positive behaviors like on-time payments and you've been responsible with assigned credit, then you're less likely to be seen as someone who may default on a credit card or loan. The score takes into account various factors in your financial history and behavior, especially how consistent you've been with payments on credit cards, loans and other bills. Credit scores are three digit numbers assigned to each and every one of us over 18, and are used by lenders to gauge our individual credit worthiness.

Free ad blocker chrome1/27/2024 Only after it came into general use were sites magically able to detect you are using an ad blocker. What good is an ad blocker that only gets you locked out of perhaps 70% of all Internet sites you want to visit? I believe HTML5 is directly responsible. More and more sites are incorporating code that disables the site entirely or many of the features if an adblocker is in use. Kep55 said:I'm waiting for an ad blocker that will spoof the websites into thinking there is no ad blocker in place. Do you feel comfortable keeping ad revenue out of the hands of sites you enjoy and use for free? As good as the best ad blockers are, that's still a trade-off you need to consider when deciding whether to install one as a browser extension or as a standalone app. Find out which one best suits your needs and comfort level.Īs we noted at the outset, there's also an ethical component to ad blockers. Others, like AdBlocker Ultimate, take a more aggressive approach. Some ad blockers, such as AdBlock Plus include filters and the ability to let in non-obtrusive advertising. Do you just want to stop annoying pop-up ads from appearing or do you want the full range of services, including privacy features and an end to ad-tracking? Grab the ad blocker that ticks off all the boxes on your wishlist. You can narrow down your choice in ad blockers by deciding specifically what you're looking to accomplish with such an app or extension. You should also figure out if a browser extension will take care of your ad-blocking needs or whether you should consider switching browsers to one with more built-in privacy features. Determine if the free services provide enough ad-blocking to meet your needs or whether a paid app delivers more for your money. Many of the best ad blockers are available for free, either as extensions or as standalone apps, though a few, like AdLock, charge a fee. The usual caveats apply: Browsing through Tor will slow down the web experience, and some features, like video streams and video files won’t work in order to preserve anonymity.ĭownload Onion Browser: iOS (opens in new tab) How to choose the best ad blocker for you Previously a premium app, Onion Browser has since moved to a donation model, opening up access to everyone who wants to download the app, without compromising security or features. IOS users aren’t left out when it comes to browsing the Tor anonymizer network, with the Onion Browser among the more popular options on Apple’s mobile OS. There are also versions of Ghostery that work with Android (opens in new tab) and iOS (opens in new tab) devices.ĭownload Ghostery: Chrome (opens in new tab), Firefox (opens in new tab), Opera (opens in new tab), Safari (opens in new tab), Edge (opens in new tab) 7. More advanced protection starts at $4.99 a month and the $11.99 monthly tier comes with a built-in VPN. Ghostery's a free download that offers basic web protection. If you really want to safeguard your privacy, you can turn to Ghostery's Enhanced Anti Tracking to anonymize your data. With Ghostery, you can also stop that tracking from taking place. You can use Ghostery to view trackers, which lets you see who's trying to collect data on you. But the real value in Ghostery lies in its privacy protection features. We recommend this add-on to all users.Like the other extensions on our list of the best ad blockers, Ghostery can remove ads from webpages, so you can focus on content and browse more efficiently. It installs and uninstalls without issues. We found Adblock to be very effective and easy to use, and we highly recommend it to anyone seeking a smoother, less cluttered Web-browsing experience.Īdblock for Chrome is free. Like most browser add-ons, Adblock doesn't have a Help file, but it's pretty straightforward. This extension offers plenty of options for customization, allowing users to specify domains for which they don't want ads blocked, select specific filters, and submit ads that Adblock missed. Using Adblock also results in the practical advantage of faster page loads, which is always a plus. A small notification in the bottom right corner of the screen lets you know when a pop-up has been blocked, and you can choose to have Adblock stop blocking pop-ups from individual sites if desired. Using the Internet with Adblock is oddly peaceful all you see is the content you're looking for, and not all the distracting clutter that we've grown accustomed to. Facebook ads, Google ads, pop-up ads? Check, check, and check. Those crazy annoying Flash ads that seem to be popping up everywhere? You bet. Who knew that one little browser add-on could make surfing the Internet so much more enjoyable?Īdblock does exactly what its name implies: it blocks ads. We loved you in Firefox, and Adblock for Chrome is just as wonderful.

Color zen wii u rom1/27/2024 To the average player, the most apparent limitations are found in the system’s graphics and sound. The original and Pocket run with just 8kiB of RAM, whereas the Game Color bumps the number up to 32 KiB. The core clocks at just over 4 MHz, although the Game Boy Color added an additional mode that could run at 8.3 MHz. Thus, the software built for it had to be written using a slightly different form of assembly language than the NES, which was built on 6502 architecture. The original Game Boy is loaded with an 8-bit microprocessor based heavily off the Zilog Z80 series, the same type used in early home computers like the ZX Spectrum, TRS-80 and Amstrad CPC. Don’t be frightened - this won’t hurt a bit. Game Boy Technical Overviewįirst let’s briefly glaze over some of the technical capabilities of the Game Boy hardware. Either way, I’m sure you will find some times below that are quite impressive for this little 8-device. I’m still digging around more, so I just may find some more titles to add to this list. It was quite a chore going through the Gameboy’s large library (especially when you consider how long the handheld was on the retail market), so I’m sure I missed a few titles. While most of the games that we cover in this piece are only playable on the more powerful Gameboy Color (The processor is twice as fast as a Game Boy’s, and has three times as much memory), there will be some mentions of some games that were primarily for the original Gameboy. This article will touch on a few examples of notable Game Boy software that resulted from such efforts. Modeled closely off the design of the NES, it miniaturized Nintendo’s already successful formula for computer entertainment in a compact form factor, igniting the portable gaming market as we know it today.īut like many consoles past, the Game Boy’s true potential would remain obscured were it not for the efforts of the inventive software engineers who, like the demosceners before them, pushed the hardware to its maximum.
