![]() ![]() The attention to detail that goes into making its world feel alive and believable is also what makes its satire so biting. If GTA IV was a targeted assassination of the American dream, GTA V takes aim at the modern American reality. Grand Theft Auto’s San Andreas is a fantasy, but the things it satirises – greed, corruption, hypocrisy, the abuse of power – are all very real. One prominent supporting character spends most of his time in his room shouting sexual threats at people on a headset whilst playing a first-person shooter called Righteous Slaughter (“Rated PG – pretty much the same as the last game.”) It’s not exactly subtle – he literally has the word “Entitled” tattooed on his neck, and the in-game radio and TV’s outright piss-takes don’t leave much to the imagination – but it is often extremely funny, and sometimes provocative with it. ![]() Nothing is safe from Rockstar’s sharp tongue, including modern video games. Everything about it drips satire: it rips into the Millennial generation, celebrities, the far right, the far left, the middle class, the media. Grand Theft Auto V is also an intelligent, wickedly comic, and bitingly relevant commentary on contemporary, post-economic crisis America. And at long last, Rockstar has finally slain one of its most persistent demons, mission checkpointing, ensuring that you never have to do a long, tedious drive six times when you repeatedly fail a mission ever again. The cars handle less like their tires are made of butter and stick better to the road, though their exaggerated handling still leaves plenty of room for spectacular wipeouts. It’s immediately noticeable that the cover system is more reliable and the auto-aim less touchy. It is a leap forward in narrative sophistication for the series, and there’s no mechanical element of the gameplay that hasn’t been improved over Grand Theft Auto IV. It both gives you tremendous freedom to explore an astonishingly well-realised world and tells a story that’s gripping, thrilling, and darkly comic. GTA V has an abundance of such moments, big and small, that make San Andreas – the city of Los Santos and its surrounding areas – feel like a living world where anything can happen. “Typical!” one of them yelled at me, as if he nearly gets run over by a rogue ATV on top of a mountain every time he goes on a hike. Turns out it was a path, and I spent 15 minutes following to the summit, where I nearly ran over a group of hikers. Another time, whilst driving around in an off-road buggy, I got distracted by something that looked like a path up one of the San Andreas mountains. One is from a mid-game mission in which I flew a plane into another plane, fought the crew, hijacked the thing, and then parachuted out and watched it crash into the sea to escape death at the hands of incoming military fighter jets. For me, Grand Theft Auto V’s extraordinary scope is summed up in two favourite moments. ![]() ![]() And we love each other and respect each other above anything. “Me and my husband see each other as equals. One of the reasons why they knew? Incredible chemistry – and respect. I was like, ‘Oh my God!’ I got nervous - to be completely honest - because I was like, this feels like my husband.” “He said he knew by the first date,” Kelly told ABC News in 2017 while promoting Love By The 10th Date. What is known is that it was love at first sight for Tim. It’s not widely known when Kelly and Tim first met, but the Los Angeles Times said they began dating in 2011. When Did Kelly Rowland & Tim Weatherspoon First Meet? But, who is this man who calls Kelly his better half? And how did their own magic love story begin? Kelly – who has found fame and success as a solo singer, a member of Destiny’s Child, and as an actress – is happily married to Tim Weatherspoon. It’s a story close to Kelly’s heart because she and her husband welcomed a new baby at the start of 2021. In 2020’s Merry Liddle Christmas Wedding, Jacquie and Tyler ( Thomas Cadrot) tried to pull off the perfect wedding, despite all the craziness from “her boisterous family” and a “snooty wedding planner.” Now, with Merry Liddle Christmas Baby, Jacquie and Tyler prepare for the arrival of the new addition to their family. ![]() ![]() First came 2019’s Merry Liddle Christmas, which first introduced Kelly’s character, Jacquie Liddle, to the world. ![]() It’s a rare case of “art imitating life.” Kelly Rowland stars in the 2021 Lifetime original holiday movie Merry Liddle Christmas Baby, the third entry in the Liddle series.

If you look at the Fire HD 8 Plus as a portal into Amazon’s ecosystem, it makes a lot more sense than as a traditional tablet.īasically, once you venture outside of Amazon’s own apps and a handful of aggressively monetized mobile games, it’s a pretty miserable experience. Furthermore, some apps (such as YouTube) installed just fine, but then failed to launch correctly. I already pay an annual subscription for Ultimate Guitar, and I’m not about to spend an extra $3 for the privilege of using it on the Fire HD 8 Plus. This means that you’re restricted to apps acquired through Amazon’s own app store, and a lot of popular apps are missing or put behind a confusing paywall.įor example, I wanted to install Ultimate Guitar, but it costs $3 on the Amazon App Store despite being free in the Google Play Store. It’s ugly and locks you into Amazon’s ecosystem, as it doesn’t offer access to the Google Play Store. It’s been a while since I used a Fire OS device, but the experience hasn’t improved since I last picked up an Amazon device. The HD 8 Plus runs a heavily modified version of Android called Fire OS. Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus (2022) software Andy Zahn / Digital Trends These cameras are so bad it’s questionable whether they should have been included in the first place. The camera interface is also as basic and difficult to operate as possible. The first digital camera I ever used nearly two decades ago delivered higher resolution and better quality images than this. The selfie camera delivers 2MP still images and 720p video capture, while the rear-facing camera shoots 5MP stills and 1080p video. Image quality is bad even in broad daylight, and in even mildly dim interior conditions, photos turn out muddy and indistinct. The camera on the HD 8 Plus is the worst I’ve used in years.

The new, faster processor enables an advertised 30% boost in processing speed over its predecessor, enabling picture-in-picture video and split-screen capability. When browsing the home screen, using a web browser, or streaming media, it’s snappy and responsive. In general, the performance of the HD 8 Plus is fine. The speakers on the Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus are perfectly acceptable, if not particularly fantastic. At max brightness, it was very difficult to use outdoors, and at 1280 x 800 resolution, it’s not impressive - but it gets the job done. The HD 8 Plus display is merely OK it offers decent color, contrast, and sharpness, though I did find it to be a little bit dim. Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus (2022) display and performance Andy Zahn / Digital Trends A good case is almost essential for a tablet, given how many I’ve seen friends and family break over the years. I tested the Fire HD 8 Plus with the optional case, which makes the tablet feel and look significantly more premium. The packaging is made from wood fiber-based materials from responsibly managed forests or recycled sources, but such claims of responsible forestry are often of questionable merit, and I’d be much more impressed if the packaging was made fully from recycled materials. ![]() The packaging is fully recyclable, which is great, though the benefits of that packaging are somewhat vague. ![]() The best Android tablets in 2023: the 9 best ones you can buyĪmazon is having a fire sale (pun intended) on Fire tablets - from $60Īmazon’s new Fire HD 8 tablets run faster, last longer, and start at $100Īmazon claims that the Fire HD 8 Plus has a reduced carbon footprint due to its packaging. This is a compromise I’d expect to find in a budget tablet. On the other hand, the bezels around the screen are quite obtrusive, and definitely expand the footprint of the device, making it less portable than a tablet with smaller bezels. The Fire HD 8 Plus also has a USB-C port, which is great to see, and includes a charging brick, something that is not so often included with devices these days. I very much appreciate the presence of a 3.5mm headphone jack, which is a feature I’ve missed in high-end modern phones and tablets. Compared to glass or aluminum, it is easier to grip and won’t show wear and tear as easily. It’s not fancy or premium, but the textured plastic back is actually really nice.

As you progress tools like the hoe can yield both a crop and a seed. In the future you will be able to use a seed nursery to turn mass crops into small amounts of seeds to keep your garden sustained. So you must choose carefully based on needs. Punching the crop will sometimes return a usable seed, but sometimes it will return nothing at all. You can pick them up as usual for one yield of your fruit or vegetable. Around the world you will find crops growing. HOW you acquire your farm will also be a challenge.

Keep in mind this one may take a while to download, the assets have not been 100 percent optimized and that loading times can be significantly higher than Vanilla. I've included the amazing Dust2Death HD Texture pack by default because I feel it adds such a clean distinct look to the world that fits the 50’s atmosphere. The mod itself is VERY heavy on resources. No longer are zombies a prize, they will be something to fear and dread, and the power they possess does not come from an artificial undead jog or a regenerating glowing scooby doo villain, it comes in their sheer numbers and in their power to overwhelm. You won't find spitting acid cops, mutated behemoths or night terrors here. Not everything was able to be finished so you will see some things like HDTVs but in 17 all will be replaced properly. Assets have been added to give the game a flavor for the 50’s. ![]() Most specifically Night of the Living Dead.

First and foremost I need to warn people that this mod is designed to be scavenger heavy, zombie heavy and action oriented. I set out to make a mod people would enjoy and out of it I gained a community and friendships that would not have been possible without this amazing game The Fun Pimps have given us. ![]() The messages, support and generosity of so many has been humbling.

There are no show stopping bugs or nulls to worry about but I had a choice: Drop it now and let people experience eit or cancel it and it never releases.

Small breaks in the metatarsals or toe bones can be painful and change the way you put weight on your foot. Shoes with a narrow toe box or athletic shoes that lack support and padding also can contribute to the problem. High heels, which transfer extra weight to the front of your foot, are a common cause of metatarsalgia in women. Losing weight might reduce or eliminate symptoms. Because most of your body weight transfers to your forefoot when you move, extra pounds mean more pressure on your metatarsals.

Long-distance running particularly with poor running form can cause plantar fasciitis, as can flat feet and high arches. Wearing too-small shoes or high heels can cause your foot to be misshapen. Excessive tension and stress on your plantar fascia can cause irritation, inflammation and small tears in the tissue, which may result in sharp heel pain. So can having a second toe that's longer than the big toe, which causes more weight than normal to be shifted to the second metatarsal head. A high arch can put extra pressure on the metatarsals. Tenderness may be felt when the thumb is pressed into the top of the foot over the navicular bone (called the N spot). Pain becomes worse with exercise, and subsides quickly with rest, only to return again as training resumes. But anyone who participates in a high-impact sport is at risk, especially if your shoes fit poorly or are worn. Symptoms include a poorly localized ache in the midfoot, which may radiate along the inside arch of the foot. Distance runners are at risk of metatarsalgia, primarily because the front of the foot absorbs significant force when a person runs. More often, several factors are involved, including: Sometimes a single factor can lead to metatarsalgia. ![]() |
