![]() Soon as the noise became constant I backed up to an external drive. I still dream of the pure quiet of an SSD, but this is fantastic if it holds. ![]() If this sticks, and for the last few minutes its been peaceful bliss, I owe you a few pints molitors. On the weekend I was calling up stores, and was about to spend $300 ! Applecare didn't have a clue either. I recently upgraded to Panic Transmit 4 and it appears to be the culprit ! I quit it and my drive is back to normal.Ĭraziness. I tried opensnoop and like clockwork every couple of seconds this would output :ĥ01 491 ubd 33 /Users//Library/Mobile Documents/VE9FD499U5~com~panic~Transmit/Favorites/Favorites.sqliteĥ01 491 ubd 22 /Users//Library/Mobile Documents/VE9FD499U5~com~panic~Transmit/Favorites/Favorites.sqliteĥ01 2872 mdworker 4 /Users//Library/Mobile Documents/VE9FD499U5~com~panic~Transmit/Favorites/Favorites.sqlite I sit about 2.5 feet from my iMac, it was loud enough to easily hear and constant, constant, constant. I've also tried turning off most of Spotlight index, which kind of sucks since I use it as my launcher. So i've previously tried fs_usage, ran disk utility repair several times, and SmartReporter (thx for link) says the disk is fine. Since I couldn't physically lift and take apart a 27" iMac, I ended up daisy chaining two LaCie drives: booting of one as my primary drive and the second as my backup. The 27inch iMac, when the hard drive failed, and obviously it had to happen two days after I returned home from having spinal surgery. I replaced the hard drive in my 24inch iMac when it failed and found out how expensive it was going to pay Apple to replace my hard drive. ![]() I usually wait till absolute failure because I like living on the edge, and also, it doesn't really take that long for a drive at that stage to completely fail.Įither way, I'm betting in a week or two I'm betting we're gonna get a new post about how expensive Apple Care is (without warranty) to replace a hard drive. Which is why I tried to describe the sound in my post as, 'chh chh chh' as best as I could, but if it is that sound, the hard drive is failing. The key words for me were repetitive and loud. If the drive sound is getting repetitive and is loud enough to drive someone nuts, than it means something is wrong with the drive. Apple's really good at keeping a low sound profile for their macs. ![]()

![]() ![]() The rest of the game’s music is also excellent. Both endings are accompanied by a chiptune house song by Luke “A_Rival” Esquivel from his 2013 album TRUTHCANNON. ![]() Finding and freeing him in each level allows players to access the game’s final area and see the good ending illustration at the end. Balzac is extremely helpful during the game’s two shooter levels, but is a hapless captive for the rest of the game. The other thing to be on the lookout for is Serena’s wayward friend, Balzac. The number of upgrades is also higher than the number of times one as the opportunity to purchase them, meaning players can change the feel of the game depending on whether they want to prioritize more firepower or better defense. Some of the levels are actually fairly straight forward, and poking around trying to find both the coin and shop in each one (along with fighting more enemies to earn enough points to actually by the upgrades) adds a light exploration element to the game reminiscent of Turrican and other side-scrollers in the 80s and early 90s but often missing from the nostalgic modern games they inspire. Each upgrade can either allow Serena to take extra damage or drastically improve her laser gun. These can be found in shops that have to be unlocked by finding a coin hidden somewhere in four of the game’s levels. Serena also has a few tricks up her sleeve via some upgrades that can be purchased throughout the game. ![]() Fortunately, like in older Castlevania games players can attack while in mid-air, and then immediately again after touching the ground, making it possible to cut through some of the game’s more durable enemies without losing much momentum or getting overwhelmed. An easy difficulty mode is available that fixes this and makes the game more fun, though it also gives the player infinite lives. The slow rate of fire combined with even the weakest enemies taking two hits to defeat on the game’s default difficulty can make the game a bit tedious to play. Not unusual for a computer game from the mid 80s, but it can be frustrating in a game like Ultionus which features more enemies on the screen to deal with at a given time as well as a very slow rate of fire for Serena’s laser pistol. The biggest of these is that Serena cannot move and shoot at the same time. Ultionus also has enough effort put into its level design to make Phantis completely obsolete, though it still carries over some of that game’s flaws. In making Serena the protagonist and removing the kidnapping completely, however, Bado has found a good compromise between homaging the aesthetics of the era in which games like Game Over were made while discarding some of the dumber elements of their presentation. While Game Over II‘s cover features the first game’s formerly captive princess as its new heroine, in the game itself she is changed to resemble a generic guy in a spacesuit to match the original Game Over. If something seems oddly familiar to about Ultionus and Phantis even to players who have never heard of the latter, it’s because outside of Spain Phantis was renamed and marketed as the sequel to a mediocre Dinamic shooter named Game Over. Unfortunately, said troll is a powerful and foppish warlord known as the Star Prince, meaning lots of resistance for Serena S as she attacks this hostile world. In Ultionus, however, A Petty Tale of Revenge is a suitable subtitle, as Serena’s attack is inspired not by loyalty or romance, but by an internet troll. Phantis‘s protagonist single handedly assaults a dangerous planet to exact revenge and rescue her captive boyfriend. The game’s heroine, Serena S, is also inspired by Phantis‘s female heroine, but her motivations have changed. Bado has worked as a pixel artist for several years, most prominently with GameLoft and WayForward. It’s vibrant, with a good variety of detail and unique backgrounds, thanks to long time artist Andrew Bado. However, while still a short game, it’s significantly larger than Phantis‘s abbreviated adventure. Those who have played the original game will find the design of the main character along with many of the game’s enemies and scenarios to be very familiar. Ultionus: A Petty Tale of Revenge looks like a typical attempt at a retro platformer at a glance, but it actually began life as a direct remake of the old Spanish Dinamic computer game Phantis. ![]() ![]() In the last phase of the battle, Ludgar becomes tougher as he goes into rage. The best way to defeat Ludgar is to first stagger him, which will allow you some time to deal as much damage to him as possible. This causes massive damage to any target that he chooses. Lastly, one of its dangerous attack includes one target that he first launches and then lands on. In addition, Ludgar can also bring forth some projectiles towards you, including the ice ball that it first charges and hits the target with. It is best to dodge away from this marked area if you want to survive getting damage.Īnother one of its attack is where it charges towards a target and clutches them for a quick attack from its fangs. Just before the attack begins, the ground is highlight with a marked area where the attack will take effect. The first few attacks involve the wall of flames that sprouts up from the ground. This boss is also one of the toughest bosses you will face, who has a variety of attacks to use against you. The fight duration is significantly reduced if you have both Kevin and Duran on your team. In the second stage of the fight when the two of them separate, make sure you have high HP for all allies. ![]() To make things easier in this battle, it is best to have Kevin or Duran in the team as they can slash away plenty of health from the bosses. After you have dealt enough damage to both of them, they separate from each other and fight as two individuals with their own ability to attack anytime. In the first encounter, both the bosses will use several attacks to hit you and your team. Like the Machine Golems, Bill and Ben come two different times in the gameplay, getting tougher the second time you meet them. These are two ninja characters that face you in this boss battle. This is the best way to effectively take down Zehnoa. Every time you see the flam rise up in its mouth, just rush to use water to extinguish the flame and then focus all your allies to attack. This will significantly weaken the boss and allow you to get up close and attack directly at it. To make things easier, or to effectively take down Zehnoa, you need water to put out its fire. This includes the close range arrows that pop up from the ground. The obstacles that pop out can be quite damaging for you and your allies. At the beginning of the fight, the boss will spawn many obstacles between the two of you. It is also where things start getting serious with boss fights, just as a heads up of what is to come later. This boss fight is pretty difficult and can be quite overwhelming. You can counter this by having Hawkeye who can keep up with the speed up of Harcypete. This allows her to become more agile, and tougher for you to accurately land your shots. On the other hand, her Speed Up only activates when you have drained 25% percent of her health. She can also launch a target in the air and slam them on the ground to put them to sleep. ![]() This boss relies on Wind elemental where she has the Air Blast and Speed up attacks that she uses on targets. You will find this boss when you are in the quest to open the gates towards the Mana Holyland. Once you have defeated one of the golem, you can focus on the other, revive your teammates and begin the onslaught. This will immensely make the fight easier for you in the long run, and will save you the twice the rocket launcher attacks that can overwhelm you and your allies. Your task in the fight is to focus on one golem first rather than attacking both. The attack might take out your character, leaving you with no option but to revive them or continue the battle without the character. This attack only hits one target, meaning your other characters will be safe. The most damaging special attack is the Rocket Launcher that deals 100 damage to any chosen target. Both the enemies will attack you with their normal attacks that deal high damage, but they also have special attacks in their arsenal. In this fight, you have to fight two individual bosses together. The first encounter with the Machine Golem is when you reach the Stonesplit Gap on the Bridge to Valsena. The boss battle is quite tough, where each of the golem has 700 health and come with no specific weaknesses. ![]() You will face the Machine Golem boss twice in the game, where the first time you will be facing two of these golems.

![]() One consequence of this primary gender being the heads of religion is that the Yoruba people began to establish a hierarchy in religion based on gender (Peel). Christian pastors and Muslim Babalawo were predominately men. In Africa, more specifically, Yoruba, we have to understand that the Yoruba people worship many gods who did not have genders placed upon them (Peel).The influence of other religions started to help differentiate and define gender. What it interesting is that in Yoruban religion, women are typically the most respected of traditional priests (Ember). The largest findings of Muslim and Christians followers are in the Yoruba ethnic group. Fifty percent of Nigeria are Muslims, forty percent are Christian, and ten percent practice ingenious religions (Ember). Let’s explore what the effects of religion has been in regards to gender roles. ![]() ![]() There has been an obvious increase in polygamous marriages and I think that this stems from the encounter of new religions brought during colonialism. The leader of the Yoruba people, King Ojaja, has three wives and a recent divorce to his would have been fourth wife (). That is not the case today, one prime example of expressing polygamy is the Ooni of Ife. Also according to Johnson, the Yoruba people were traditionally monogamous and polygamy was reserved for the wealthy. One thing that does seem to have changed is that divorce was not a common occurrence in precolonial times and now a days a man has the free privilege to divorce a wife (Johnson). A woman was considered to be a possession of the family that she marries into, being passed to a brother if her husband died or the family having rights to the children she bore (Johnson). A woman’s place in society was once based on her being a daughter of her father and one of the In Yoruba, marriage is expected of each sex at the socially deemed appropriate age, women in their twenties and men in their thirties. Speaking of domestic roles, one interesting place to study is the Yoruba culture’s marriages and traditions in regards to gender roles. In a review of McIntosh’s book, another scholar Insa Nolte, concluded that, “Yoruba women adapted their skills to support more widespread cultural notions as well as continuing their domestic roles” (Nolte). According to McIntosh in her book Yoruba Women, Work, and Social Change, she summarizes that independent roles were played by women on agriculture and trade until colonial ideas about “female professions” changed the career paths of women (McIntosh). I don’t think that they shifted negatively for women, I believe it gave women more opportunity to have careers that they wished. In Yoruba I found that as time has changed and more outside influences were in contact with the Yoruba, the more the gender roles in Yoruba shifted. ![]() I found that in over sixteen countries people believe that men have the first right to jobs, that they believe males are more fit for political positions, and that women should have children to be fulfilled (Weziak-Bialowolska). ![]() To get these answer, I began to read about the differences in gender normality’s across different countries. ![]() ![]() ![]() These shapes had extremely low drag and the.

![]() Many PC players who aren't as desperate to play the sequel would likely wait to see if Bloodborne 2 would theoretically come to PC after the PS5 exclusivity deal is up. Sony has proven that it's willing to let the timed-exclusivity lapse over time, at least with the few examples seen thus far. There is the chance that PC players, knowing how long it theoretically took for Bloodborne to come to PC, would be willing to wait for Bloodborne 2 on PC. That being said, it's also possible there is a downside as well, albeit a very minimal one. In a way, it's a very intelligent, inadvertent marketing tactic that can show beneficial for console sales. PC fans of Bloodborne may be more inclined to get a PS5 if fans knew they couldn't wait to play the game's highly requested sequel. More than likely the game's sequel would retain Sony's exclusivity, which in this case would be kind of a double-edged sword. RELATED: Bloodborne 2 'Isn't Up to Me' Reveals Game DirectorĪlong those same lines, assuming Bloodborne 2 is in active development for PS5, what better way to encourage more fans to jump into PS5 than with a promised sequel to Bloodborne. Fans of Bloodborne have a similar love for the game, so adding the game to a completely new platform that's shown a particular love for other "Soulsborne" games should be excited to have the series get some more exposure. Tons of fans have shown up for the beta flights/testing as well as the full releases for Master Chief Collection. A lot of iconic Halo games will be hitting the PC platform for the first time ever, years after their initial release dates on Xbox and Xbox 360.

But even more importantly, there is the potential to expand the fanbase out beyond just PlayStation users. Sales-wise, a larger audience typically means greater success especially if the game is largely successful or praised. ![]() (Spoiler alert: there’s a lot of interest.Usually the main benefit of porting a formerly exclusive game is that it provides greater accessibility for a title and/or franchise to a wider audience.

Bomberman's appearance in this game (Hudson Soft re-used an enemy graphic taken from their own 1984 NES/Famicom port of Broderbund's Lode Runner) is an early version of Bomberman's more famous design, a robotic anime-like character with a pink antenna. ![]() Hudson Soft's director of research and development, Shinichi Nakamoto, commented in a 1995 interview that 'I personally believe that the Famicom version of Bomberman is the one and only version of the game.'
