5/18/2023 0 Comments Realm royale season 5![]() It immediately tapped into a fat vein of excitement by offering an alternative option at the low, low price of free. Maybe Anthem would be the next big thing. Even I started to wonder if it was time to move on. The genre’s founder, PUBG, is fast approaching its two-year anniversary. Other battle royale games received little attention as the genre began to slip out of mainstream headlines. Fortnite and Blackout dueled throughout the holiday, while PUBG maintained a slipping but stubborn grip. Apex LegendsĪt the time, it felt as if Tassi’s prediction might become true. “Blackout feels like it’s about to suck the remaining oxygen out of the room when it comes to the Battle Royale trend,” he said, going on to worry it’d be the last game of “any real significance” in the genre. Paul Tassi, Senior Contributor at Forbes, expressed a similar concern in an article about Call of Duty: Blackout he wrote in October. Many gamers haven’t heard of them, and never will. Seriously! Yet most of these titles are, for better or worse, off the radar. Even Cyanide and Happiness has a battle royale game in the works. Yea, there’s a ton of little battle royale projects in early access. Fortnite has taken the world by storm, of course, but there’s also Call of Duty: Blackout, Realm Royale, Unturned, Ring of Elysium and, of course, the original – PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds.Įven I started to wonder if it was time to move on. Then Apex arrived. ![]() The ‘battle royale’ genre hardly lacks for entries, and many of them are extremely popular. The sudden popularity of Apex Legends might seem strange at a glance. Now, it stands tall as the game everyone must beat, and proves the ‘battle royale’ genre is far from tapped out. While anyone paying attention to Respawn knew the studio had a title planned for 2019, few thought it’d arrive so early in the year. It’s not an exaggeration to say Apex came from nowhere. That’s twice as many as Fortnite, and almost ten times more than PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. Streamers playing Apex have averaged a total of over 250,000 viewers over the past 7 days. On February 11, Respawn Entertainment announced the game had surpassed 25 million players and more than two million concurrent.

The study results provide scientists new insights into river formation on Mars and how it differed from the usually slow and gradual process on Earth. In fact, the breach floods eroded more than enough sediment to completely fill Lake Superior and Lake Ontario.Īlthough flood evidence has been observed previously on Mars, this is the first time that scientists have quantified how widespread it was, particularly during the planet’s early history. Landscapes and other geological features were rapidly reshaped in a matter of days or weeks. The impact on the planet was powerful and almost immediate. “What ends up happening is that all these rivers are just flowing and then fill up and then they overflow and make these catastrophic floods.” “Mars, like the moon, is completely filled with lots and lots of craters, so you have this landscape that’s kind of like a golf ball that’s just full of little holes,” said Stucky de Quay. It appears the ensuing floods loosed immense amounts of water, along with sediment. Scientists analyzed satellite images and sophisticated topographical mapping of these dried-up water basins on Mars to determine what happened when the lakes that used to fill the planet’s giant craters overflowed, likely due to immense rainstorms. Large river systems covered about 50 percent of the planet during this time, and large crater lakes that could hold up to a small ocean’s worth of water were common. Years of evidence show that Mars had streams, ponds, lakes, and maybe even seas and oceans around 4 billion years ago. The project team includes Harvard postdoctoral research fellow Gaia Stucky de Quay from the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences and scientists from the University of Texas at Austin. ![]() This study builds on previous work looking at the planet’s water systems and was published late last year in Nature. New research finds that billions of years ago Mars was beset by catastrophic river flooding that played a massive role in shaping what the planet’s expansive but now dry network of valleys looks like today, with its deep chasms and canyons. You wouldn’t know it to look at Mars now, but rushing waters that crested banks had a hand in sculpting the face of the bone-dry red planet. 5/18/2023 0 Comments Lumo bodytech reviews![]() I suppose it’d be taking my usual waterproofing chamber tests to a new venue, the clothes washer. So if you’re like me and have killed more than your fair share of devices by washing machine – then you should be safe here. Now before you worry, the pod is/will be fully washing machine safe. ![]() The button’s purpose in life can be customized, but right now it’s mainly to have the shorts announce your current metrics. So yes, you can literally tell your crush to press a button near your crotch to see if you get turned on: Note that the band of the shorts don’t have any sensors itself wired into them, but rather connect through conductive material to a small press-able button at the front of your shorts. There’s no wires to connect, as the pod transfers all data using those little silver patches that act as connection point inside the band of the shorts (which has a similar conductive material): It does not include a milkshake or kitchen sink. The pod contains a 9-axis IMU, accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, barometer, and a vibration motor, as well as Bluetooth Smart connectivity. In the back of the shorts is a small pocket that pocket enables you to slide this tiny pod into them. They also have capris available for women (or, I suppose a man that’s very comfortable with his body image). ![]() The shorts come in a variety of sizes, so you’d be able to order your specific size. The Lumo Run system has essentially two pieces: The running shorts, and a small pod that is slid into the shorts. While most gadgets I review are hard objects, this one is definitely more soft and flexible. Oh, and then the shorts yell at me to fix it in real-time.īut, let’s back up a second first and start with the goods. The most unique of the week thus far would go to Lumo Body Technologies, who makes running shorts that can tell me when I’m not running optimally by addressing body position and other running metrics. As the week goes on here at CES, I continue to add to my collection of first-time experiences that I’ve had recently. |
