However you ran your war before, you can’t go back - not that you’d want to. ![]() That said, the changes that Stardock has made permeate every bit of the original product, making so many adjustments that the base product is inexorably changed. The UI is far more clean this time around.īefore we dig into the meat of Crusade, let me first mention that there is no new campaign - that is, no single player expansion to the storyline that has already been established. ![]() It sounds like a lot, but the UI is tucked into the edges nicely to the point where it’s unobtrusive. Similarly, you can see what resources you are accumulating, and at what rate. You can see a lot of summary items that allow you to drill down and examine what technologies you are researching, any citizens you have in play, and any Espionage you might be engaging in (more on them later). It’s sleek, streamlined, compact, and designed to be highly-searchable. The first and most obvious change in Crusade is the UI. We thought the original release of GalCiv III was a little unambitious - I’m prepared to eat those words. With nearly two years of time to hone its new 64-bit engine, the Stardock team has provided so many new features, it could scarcely be called an expansion as much as it could be a sequel. With a great deal of scrutiny from top to bottom, it’s certainly checked the aforementioned boxes, but with Crusade it’s also overhauled every aspect of the base game. Stardock has taken a very different approach with its flagship 4X title, Galactic Civilizations. The developer tacks on a new scenario, perhaps a handful of units, and a modicum of fresh story and calls it a day.

In some ways, it is me, but in others, it’s not. Ookci is a language, a character and a mood, all in one. It’s like a ritual, Ookci takes over.Ĭan you explain who or what “Maison Ookci” is? Is he different from you, as Christian Posella? Oftentimes, the artists I work with, I find some sort of relation with and that begins the process. I just try to manifest it as an expression. I don’t see myself as an artist in the traditional sense of, “Oh I like to draw or I like this specific shadow of grey.” I just have a vision about the people I work with, and it’s more often about the mood than the image or person themselves actually. ![]() Talk to me about how an Ookci piece comes to life? What are the steps to getting to a final piece of work for you? HYPEBEAST spoke to Posella, or rather Maison Ookci, about how he began crafting this unique visual language of his, working with the likes of huge artists such as Young Thug and Travis Scott, creating contemporary cover art, and why he’s going into the NFT world now. Now, Posella wants to take his vision even further into his warped and twisted reality, delivering limited-edition NFTs of existing and original prints he’s developed. The Ookci manifestation would continue to spread like wildfire, creating pieces with Playboi Carti‘s Opium label signees Ken Carson and Destroy Lonely, working with Cash and Sal of XO, Tee Grizzley, Tyga, superproducer CardoGotWings and most recently, collaborating on Working on Dying merch. Shortly after the first single cover for Thug, Posella was commissioned once again by Young Stoner Life Records to do single artworks for the upcoming Slime Language 2 project, crafting the covers for “ GFU” by Yak Gotti, Yung Kayo and Sheck Wes and “ That Go!” by Young Thug, Meek Mill and T-Shyne. This way was one that was found rapport with the kinds of artists Posella worked with, painting the rebel artist in a raw reverence of their own natural inclination to push back against the environment surrounding and any laws that attempted to govern them. So I took the photos I liked the most and made them look my way, Ookci’s way.” ![]() “I always wanted to give my vision of something. All of this art is simply an Ookci manifestation of the way he sees things and people,” says Posella over email. “Ookci isn’t an actual style, I’m not good at drawing and I’m not a good artist. It was a story that was tinged with fabrication, told by a notorious liar with a warped sense of reality.Posella was working as a car salesman back in the Fall of 2020 when I first came in contact with his distorted imagery that kept popping up across my Instagram feed, with almost too much regularity to overlook: First with Travis Scott, then Atlanta producer Wheezy, and finally slithering his way into the inner workings of Young Thug and co., with the artwork for “Take it to Trial.” These Frankensteinian bodies and faces, took on diabolical features and illuminated jewelry, making their presence meta-physical and transformative, thus creating his own visual language.Only someone with a warped sense of humor would think the accident is funny.In his statement the chief of police said, "We are dealing with a warped mind, and we have to take all precautions.".When midway through the set four go-go dancers appear, the warped cabaret becomes all too slick and momentum is lost.An old man was sweeping the warped boards of the front porch.Decayed, warped and neglected, it stood proudly on its solid foundations, displaying a still sturdy brick frame.The window frames on the front of the house were badly warped.Some of my professors at college were pretty warped.2 BEND something that is warped is bent or twisted so that it is not the correct shape Examples from the Corpus warped From Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English warped warped / wɔːpt $ wɔːrpt / adjective 1 STRANGE someone who is warped has ideas or thoughts that most people think are unpleasant or not normal a warped mind You really have a warped sense of humour (=think strange and unpleasant things are funny ). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Network name and extra information are now shown along with network type.New server scoring algorithm implementing the latest AirVPN balancing factors in order to determine the best server for quick connection.User can now generate an OpenVPN profile for any AirVPN server or country and save it in OpenVPN profile manager.VPN reconnection in case of unexpected OpenVPN disconnection.VPN Lock can now be disabled or enabled from settings.Favorite and forbidden lists can now be empited with a single tap.The user can now choose the default language and localization from one of the available ones In such case, local network devices are exempted from the VPN and can be accessed within the local devices In case another app is granted VPN access, Eddie acts accordingly and releases VPN resources The app is now aware of concurrent VPN use.User subscription's expiration date is now shown in login/connection information.Support for favorite and forbidden countries.The app now imports and manages multiple OpenVPN profiles NEW: Eddie for Android 2.1 beta 1 - Release notes OpenVPN mimetype support to import profiles from external applications.Customizable "Favorite" and "Forbidden" servers and countries.Enhancements aimed to increase accessibility and comfort to visually impaired persons.Full Android TV compatibility including D-Pad support.Smart attempts to bypass OpenVPN blocks featuring protocol and server fail-over.Smart server selection with custom settings.Quick one-tap connection and smart, fully automated server selection.Enhanced security thanks to locally stored encrypted data through master password.Localization in Danish, English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Turkish.Option to define which apps must have traffic inside or outside the VPN tunnel through white and black list.Ability to start and connect the application at device boot.Robust, best effort prevention of traffic leaks outside the VPN tunnel.The only Android application officially developed by AirVPN.Free and open source OpenVPN GUI based on OpenVPN 3.Eddie for Android is free and open source software released under GPLv3.

In order to succeed ads have to threaten our sense of self. To love yourself is defiant. To embrace your body is rebellion. SuicideGirls is about committing social suicide and proudly choosing not to fit in. Society, advertising, corporations benefit from our insecurities. I hope that SuicideGirls is remembered as helping to turn the cultural tide towards greater acceptance of the self. Normalising beautiful women from around the world who feel empowered by their bodies not ashamed of them. What do you see as the place of SuicideGirls in our culture? I think the amazing women in our community will always be our main source of inspiration. Their journeys and insights are all unique and incredibly inspiring. I think the girls are doing much more cosplay these days. What aspects of culture in general continue to inspire the SuicideGirls brand? There has been so much that has changed in the past year. I am eager to see how it continues to evolve. I really respect that the girls themselves are taking control of how they are presented and are in charge of their own image. What do you hope to see come up or change in the greater NSFW community? We have talked about creating a TV Show or docuseries and that would be amazing. After about a dozen false starts nothing has felt right so far but hopefully soon we will crack the formula. Is there something you’d like to do that you haven’t done yet? It is a fine line between creating something your core community loves and gains popularity but I think we are pretty adept at it at this point. If our core community responds to it and loves it. What signifies success for each new SuicideGirls pursuit? The male fans of SuicideGirls are supportive and wonderfully appreciative of the stunning, strong, unique beauties who share themselves with the community. ![]() What is the role of men in the SuicideGirls community? How is it different than other burlesque acts with the platform of SuicideGirls behind it?Īll of the acts are high energy highly choreographed numbers set to a kick ass soundtrack that depict a pop culture theme. In the same way that we took the classic pin-up photo on the site and put a modern twist on it, we wanted to take the sexy spirit of classic burlesque and put a modern twist on it viewed through a pop culture lens. What inspired the creation of Blackheart Burlesque? Girls who are uniquely, beautifully, wonderfully themselves, the sum of all of their parts. Girls that bring so much to the table and believe they deserve a place at it. Who recognise that their body is intrinsically as much a representation of who they are and what they have been through as any of the ideas they have won through triumph, failure and hard fought experiences. We look for girls that live their life on their own terms, women who are self assured and confident. Women who embrace their bodies and themselves. Models can apply at /model and one of our amazing team will help you through the process of filling out the paperwork and shooting a set. How can someone apply to be a SuicideGirl? I have been lucky enough to meet several people from the Aussie community over the years. Both on the Burlesque tour we did in 2013 and the Party I had for SGs and Hopefuls in 2018. ![]() We have such an amazing group of supportive, awesome SuicideGirls, Hopefuls and Fans in Australia. What’s the SuicideGirls presence in Australia like? SuicideGirls is a truly kind community, full of supportive men and women, on the internet, it is possible. A place they could be appreciated for their own unique beauty. I think the longevity of the site is due to us staying true to our original ethos of creating a place where women could be comfortable being themselves. What about SuicideGirls has given it this level of longevity? To understand more about what it takes to be a part of the community, we caught up with co-founder Missy Suicide. It’s a show that’s even made its way to Australia, where models like Blink and Arachnie Suicide (pictured) continue to carry the SuicideGirls torch. They’ve expanded their range in establishing SuicideGirls: Blackheart Burlesque, an experience fusing pop culture with burlesque in a way that only the SuicideGirls could. Fast forward to 2021, where the NSFW community continues to thrive, with millions actively partaking in what the brand has created. Having coloured hair, tattoos and piercings hasn’t always been normalised, and alt girls still had a long way to go in having their beauty accepted and appreciated. When online community SuicideGirls was started, it was for the girls that didn’t fit in. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Google Photos is a brand new product by Google, built from the ground up to be a tool for photos and videos in today’s mobile and cloud world. Actually it started well before that, but it was purchased by Google in 2003 and became extremely popular in the following years. Although it’s true, the two serve very different functions. Saying that Picasa and Google Photos are both photo management tools, is like saying that a car and a jet are both transportation tools. Some drugstore sites ( CVS, Walgreens and so on), also offer online photo ordering, and some pharmacies have photo printers in the store you can use to print out flash drives full of pictures.First of all, what is the same about Picasa and Google Photos? Why are we talking about them both in the same article? And, why are both Picasa and Google Photos the subject of this website? It’s because they are both photo management tools by Google. When you need physical copies of your pictures to share, you can export the edited images from your photo program and upload them to the website of an online printing service like Adorama Pix, Nations Photo Lab, Shutterfly or Snapfish. Not all photo-editing programs include the ability to directly order prints online. Although the learning curve can be steep, Adobe’s Creative Cloud Photography plan includes the industry-standard Adobe Photoshop CC and Adobe Lightroom CC for $10 a month. Each has a free trial to download so you can sample the software before buying it. The Flickr picture-sharing site, recently acquired by SmugMug, offers photo editing tools, a terabyte of free storage space and a service to print photo books.įor those who want robust editing and album-management features and don’t mind paying, ADSee Photo Studio (versions starting at $60) and Adobe Photoshop Elements ($100) are two programs to consider. ![]() If it piques your interest, GIMP has an online user manual you can browse before downloading. The cross-platform, open-source GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) software is another versatile photo-editing program, but might be a little more technical than some entry-level applications. Still, some may find the photo-editing tools more limited than those offered in Picasa. Google Photos can back up pictures on your computer to server space online, and you can order printed book s of your pictures online. You just need to log in at with the same Google Account name and password you used for Picasa. Google Photos - the service that replaced Picasa in the company’s free software lineup - might be the easiest move for your files, as your Picasa Web Albums are most likely there already thanks to Google’s transition from the old program to the new one. To help narrow your options, make a list of the features you used the most and then try to find a replacement that matches up best with the Picasa toolbox. Similar programs do exist, but they may not have quite the same suite of editing tools and easy online album-sharing capabilities as the free Picasa software. After retiring Picasa from further development in 2016, Google announced in March that the desktop photo-editing program would no longer work to upload or download photos, or manage online albums. Is there another program that would be as easy as Picasa?Ī. As you know, Google no longer supports Picasa. For many years, I used Picasa to edit my photos and send them to have prints made. ![]() ![]() ![]() A solution on TeX StackExchange ( ) provides guidance on how to exclude tables and figures (or any arbitrary LaTeX environment) from a compiled document, which may be useful before attempting to word count the PDF.Ī data frame with two columns, one specifying page and the other specifying word count for that page.
