This leads to you choosing one type of shot you know the perfect release timing for and sticking to it because you know you’ll probably score. Different shot types, whether they be 2-point jumpers or wildly optimistic dunks seem to have different perfect release times so it is really difficult to work out each time you shoot. The same can be said of shooting, since success is all down to timing, yet it is seemingly impossible to tell what the game considers to be perfect timing. ![]() You can press the steal button at what you think is the right time but the opponent will still ghost past you and another time you’ll press it hopefully, not expecting anything, and it’ll work. That also makes them difficult to dispossess. The computer controlled ballers are more than competent – being able to perform crazy dunks and alley-oops I have no idea how to pull off. However, success in actions like stealing and blocking feels completely down to luck. From anywhere on the court, time your shots correctly and you’ll be racking up the points with no problem. Movement is fast, players move naturally, and sinking shots is relatively easy. ![]() ![]() There are options to perform alley-oops and spectacular dunks with a combination of buttons but you can win matches using little more than the shoot and steal buttons. Controlling your team on the court is very easy.

![]() There are 48 pieces to earn on each board theme so unlocking everything will take quite a lot of time but it is oddly satisfying whenever you manage to acquire a cool new vehicle or adorable costume. I hope they patch this later and allow you to use a different controller per player because having to pass a controller is a pain, especially if you're playing with someone who has poor hygiene.Īs you play The Game of Life 2, you'll unlock additional customization items by completing jigsaw puzzles and you do so by fulfilling achievement requirements which awards you with pieces. However, you have to pass the controller if you want to play with local chums which is kind of a bummer. I was surprised to see that it features online multiplayer and it's great that the option is included. You can enjoy The Game of Life 2 solo with a few AI-controlled opponents, via local multiplayer, or online either with friends or random players. The boards are indeed lovely I'll give it that To make things even cooler, you can choose from a variety of pegs, colours, vehicles, outfits, and avatars which allows you to customize your experience even further. These themes were the highlight of the experience for me as a lot of imagination was poured into finely-tuning each theme and they all come alive with colourful graphics and cute animations. On top of all that, there will be many more boards available down the road as DLC. Right now, you can choose to play on the classic board as well as the chilly frozen lands, the Halloween-inspired haunted hills, or the magical fairytale kingdom. ![]() That's right The Game of Life 2 features a handful of board themes that not only change the in-game visuals, they also alter the careers, choices, and more. Plus, there are some rather interesting themes as well. However, it does have many modernizations in its careers, choices, and such that make it a much more contemporary experience. ![]() Now, The Game of Life 2 follows the classic board game formula very closely as all you do is spin a wheel, move along a board with occasional branching paths, and make the odd decision. However, as an adult The Game of Life doesn't really have as much of an appeal because you may have already accomplished some of these milestones. Will you get married? Have kids? What kind of job will you settle with? As a kid, it really gets your imagination going. Back then, the primary appeal of the game was imagining all of the different paths you can take in life. When I was a kid, I remember playing The Game of Life. □ Time for this naughty witch to give the wheel a spin! │ Our reviewers are discouraged from reading other reviews before writing theirs in order to avoid contributing to an echo chamber. The Game of Life 2 is also available for PS4, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Oneīelieve it or not, The Game of Life has been around since 1860 and after all these many years, it finally has a digital-only sequel. Maciejewski playing a Nintendo Switch on Ma□ ![]() She is classified as a bit of a delinquent as well, a common trend really with girls with blond hair in manga and she plays hooky and prefers to go to the roof of the school and do nothing really. You see our story in particular follows this blond haired, somewhat jaded and antisocial lead that is actually a fairly good runner, but wildly unmotivated. ![]() Before I start talking what this series is about I have to mention that this manga got cancelled prematurely and therefore does feel very much incomplete although from what we did get it was shaping up to be pretty interesting. To be fair, this is more subtext than anything else, but I've had a few others titles like that in this yuri rec series. ![]() The art style is clean and character designs are nice imo, I like the light haired and dark haired pairings usually in yuri or shipping in general so I enjoy this aspect. To be fair this is still fairly new and despite it being nothing groundbreaking, it's simplistic charm and just how ducking cute their interactions and the somewhat potentially intriguing side characters are makes this a fairly enjoyable read. The senpai is left flustered and confused and finds out as she spends more time with her kouhai she feels unusually happy and concludes it must be love as well and confesses.and the kouhai is confused? Wait.wut?ĭear kouhai confessed her feelings of being enchanted with her performance, not specifically her and the senpai is even more exasperated but nonetheless determined after a while to make her fall "for real" and so this silly, cute and fluffy highschool Girls Love story proceeds. Japanese Title: Sasayaku You ni Koi wo UtauĪ young freshman notices a cool female vocalist in one of the school's opening ceremony and it is love at first sight for the senpai's enchanting performance, so naturally she find an opportunity to confess. The art style is fairly nice as well and I really dig the various couples in this story so far. We start with a rather simplistic romance between seemingly long time friends and they realize there is something more, it starts if rather unassuming but it is in large part how the characters behave and the amusing yet sortof clever way feelings and couples are connected and made in just these 5 chapters displayed that makes me thing it is a shame there isn't more out. That said there is something charming of the little snip bit of moments between the various couples as mentioned in the first 3 titles, and while I am not as enamored with them because I like more contemplative works at times, I love when a manga with the anthology esque spirit like this many mini stories in one setting or world about various couples tend to have enough subtle cues apart from the more fluffy or perhaps spicy material and I believe despite the lamentable updating schedule of this manga I believe these 5 chapters are very much worth it. ![]() Both of these particular type of yuri if you will have their place in the yuri landscape what one likes over another is usually up to preference. Where you have the more slow burn bloom into you that is a more hyperfocused stories trading in scope of characters but in turn for depth and introspection. To be fair, this- like many other yuri works does follows various couples in the same world since that seems to be a staple if 'kiss and the white lily', 'virgin's empire', 'lily marble' etc are anything to go by that this genre if anything there is a high demand for. *Keep in mind, the list reflects only the volumes that were released in English in 2021.Japanese Title: Dare ni mo ienai Futarigoto Some honorable mentions, “Our Teachers Are Dating!” Volume 3, “Syrup: A Yuri Anthology” Volume 3, “Bloom Into You Anthology” Volume 1, “How Do We Relationship?” Volume 4, “The Demon Girl Next Door” Volume 4, “Failed Princess” Volume 4, “A Witch's Love at the End of the World” Volume 3, “Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Wraith Arc” Volume 1, “Roll Over And Die: I Will Fight for an Ordinary Life with My Love and Cursed Sword!” Volume 2, and “I’m In Love With The Villainess” Volume 1. It certainly made it difficult to narrow down the list but we find that to be a good problem to have. There was a wonderful mix this year to choose from that included fluffy school girl romances, gory action dramas, magical worlds, titles from iconic Yuri artists, and our favorite category, working adult relationships. We love seeing the Yuri community continue to grow and publishers licensing more Yuri titles. What a great year for Yuri readers! A lot of great manga was released this year, which we hope is a good sign of things to come. ![]() IDrive encrypts all data with a 256-bit AES on transfer and storage, and you have the option to set your privacy to the highest level by creating a custom private key for your account.

The rhizome can easily be attached to something like a rock or a piece of wood. ![]() The African water fern is yet another aquatic plant that grows from a rhizome. There are many videos on youtube about this plant, so I will link one that I found useful.ĥ. Now I know this is little information compared to the other plants in the list, but that is because I still need to learn a lot about this. This really is a plant that requires a high tech aquarium to grow. If the plant is not getting enough lighting, it is going to grow up instead of creep around like it is supposed to do. Only get this plant if you know you can provide it with this. This one, called ‘dwarf baby tears’ is a plant that only does well with high lighting and the right nutrients. Image by Aquathusiast under License CC2.0 No Changes These two options are a bit less popular, but still definitely work. The previous three options were the mainstream options that most likely are readily available in a fish store close to you.

You’re actually able to order java moss online, which is a privilege few of us knew we had. Over time, the moss will grow and find its way. At first, it will not look as beautiful as you imagined it would be, but it needs time. To do this, take fishing line and tie the moss to the driftwood. Attaching to driftwood is definitely one of them. With all these different kinds of moss, but also with just java moss, there are many different things you can do. The most popular hand down is java moss but there are so many other types. First off, there are different kind of mosses available in our beautiful hobby. To be completely honest with you, I struggle in describing all the possibilities you have with moss. Note that a lot of these plants are also in my “ beginner plants” list. In general this plant is rather easy to take care off. If you java fern is not doing well, it might be because you have too much current, you have buried the roots, there is too much intense lighting or there are no nutrients in the water. Other varieties that you might encounter are the trident java fern or something like a “petit” java fern with smaller leaves. This is the most common type in the hobby. There are a variety of java ferns available, but your local fish store will most likely only have the “Microsorum pteropus” in stock. For small ones, try and use superglue first. With java fern you do not have a study rhizome as a base to glue the superglue so I would go with fishing line for this plant. To attach a java fern to a piece of wood, you can use superglue of fishing line to tie it to the wood. Because the plant is so popular they will probably have at least one type of Anubias plants in store. ![]() If you are unsure which type to get I would recommend going to you local fish store and see what they have in stock. Here are some of the most popular subspecies: Using the different kind of anubias plants you can create an entire aquascape on its own. There are plants with big leaves, but also plants with rather small leaves. One of the beautiful things about anubias plants are the many choices you have. ![]() Check it out here on my website!

It is the first one that comes to my mind when someone wants to attach a plant to driftwood, and it is my favorite type of aquarium plant.Īnubias plants have dark green leaves and are extremely sturdy. If you have already been doing some reading about this subject, of you already are familiar with some aquarium plants, you have seen this plant before.

It still hasn’t, save for hand sanitizer. I know I’ve experienced it, and some of our readers have told us they’ve had the same experience.Īs far back as 2008, the TSA has said it would ease its restrictions on liquids. However anecdotally, there have been plenty of times that, at least in the U.S., passengers have brought liquids in their carry on in a much less organized way, as well as in amounts larger than the TSA’s rules would prefer. The rules for both countries otherwise haven’t changed since they were put into place. This has been in response to the COVID epidemic. and Canada, the liquid rules have been temporarily updated to allow each passenger to carry up to 12 ounces (U.S.) or 355ml (Canada) of hand sanitizer in their carry on bag. and Europe, so let’s look at those three in the years since the event in 2006: U.S. The terrorist plot specifically included Canada, the U.S. It’s easy enough to get around the rule ( Psst! Here’s a hack of how to do it) but some people would just as soon not. Each passenger is limited to one quart-size bag of liquids, gels and aerosols.” In countries that use the metric system, the rule is essentially the same, but it’s 100ml containers that can fit in a 1 liter (or sometimes, depending on the country, 20cm x 20cm) bag. As per the TSA, “each passenger may carry liquids, gels and aerosols in travel-size containers that are 3.4 ounces or 100 milliliters. this is commonly known as the 3-1-1 liquid rule. But ever since then, passengers at most commercial airports around the world have had to limit the amount of liquids they bring with them when going through airport security. These rules were eventually eased in the months following the event. In the immediate days after the plot was discovered, most countries banned all (or nearly all) liquids from carry on bags. Seven of those were found guilty of conspiracy charges. Twenty-four suspects were eventually arrested in and around London for questioning. The liquids would be disguised as soft drinks, and would blow up select United Airlines, Air Canada and American Airlines flights originating from London Heathrow Airport.įortunately, authorities discovered the plot before it could be carried out. They would be carried on board airliners traveling from the United Kingdom to the United States and Canada. In August 2006, there was a credible terrorist plot to detonate liquid explosives. |
