![]() The closest example I can think of is Darkest Dungeon, whereby you take it in turns to launch attacks and damage or other negative effects persist through the following game. The small scale combat is turn-based and dependant on reading the enemy. It’s often a very slow and methodical game, broken up by combat – both large and small scale – that will test your patience. Learning the ins and outs of trading will take a while, and learning what’s worth transporting and which risks are worth taking is half the battle. Vagrus: The Riven Realms throws a lot at you. You lose people regularly, and unfortunately there are some situations you simply can’t prepare for the first time. Random encounters with enemies can lead to fights you can’t win, while wandering blindly into new areas can see your caravan corrupted, poisoned, or beset. ![]() Every time you set out into the wild you are rolling the dice on your entire playthrough. At the best of times this opens up new routes, quests and rewards at the worst of times this will lead you into situations you are underprepared for. Random events can pop up inside cities and camps, which will sometimes force you down a certain path. Tackling different quests in a different order, or visiting settlements at different times can lead to very diverse playthroughs. In fact, one of the things that makes Vagrus so interesting is that you won’t always know the effects of your decisions until later. Some are in direct conflict with others, and Vagrus uses this to force difficult decisions upon you. There are ten factions scattered about the world, all of which require your help. You have limited space in your cargo hold and your armour and weaponry is somewhat lacking initially, but the longer you survive and the more quests you complete, the tougher you’ll slowly become. Vagrus: The Riven Realms – A tough, challenging management simĪ vast portion of the game is spent in towns and settlements, trading goods and services. You can choose to play a tutorial story called Pilgrims of the Wasteland if you wish, though, which I’d recommend, as Vagrus doesn’t like to hold your hand. There’s no strong narrative, and instead Vagrus: The Riven Realms seems to want you to write your own story in its savage land. When you first start, you’ll need to create a character from a variety of elements that will send small ripples through the game. It’s a dangerous business, and Vagrus: The Riven Realms likes to remind you of that often. Caravans are necessary for transporting goods and VIPs across these wastes, but beasts and bandits and demons roam the wilds. Previously modelled on ancient Rome, the remnants of Vagrus’ world are decaying temples, rotten gardens, shattered amphitheatres and endless wastelands. In the aftermath, a cadre of dark otherworldly entities slipped through the tears in reality to visit evil and death upon what was left of the world. In this desolate world, all lay in ruins after the gods decided they’d had enough of people being shit and had a good old fashioned Apocalypse. Your role is that of a Vagri, the captain of a caravan (called a comitatus in-game). Vagrus: The Riven Realms falls into the latter category, and it’s only because it somehow remains compelling that it gets away with it. They really on either dialled-up numbers or, worse, the dreaded random number generator – which is then deliberately skewed against you. Other games, though, are just hard for the sake of it. ![]() You’ll only overcome them either by getting good, or learning how to use what the game gives you to build the right kind of character. The good ones are designed in such a way that they are universally difficult. ![]() Soulsborne games, or (shudder) masocore games, pride themselves on it and that’s okay. At a certain point being a brutal challenge became a bizarre badge of honour for some games. Vagrus: The Riven Realms seems to pride itself on being tough, and I’m not sure it’s a good thing. ![]()

![]() ![]() I happened to find a store in Japan that was selling 30mL samples poured from the actual bottle into sample bottles (limit 1 per person), and took advantage to get 60mL (thanks for my girlfriend for being there). Since I’ve harped on how Yamazaki 18 is expensive and difficult to find, I should mention how I got my hands on some without raiding my bank account. ![]() Yamazaki is best known for their sherry maturation and lack of smoke, although they do dabble with other types of maturations and finishes (limited releases) that most of us are too poor to buy, let alone find. If you know anything about Japanese Whiskey, you’ve probably heard of Yamazaki, the widely-known distillery owned by Suntory-Beam, who also owns Hibiki and Hakushu (while you’re at it, check out my Hakushu 12 Year review). It’s bad in the US, and even more severe in Japan. I hate to use the term, but it’s a unicorn now when the popularity boom has made all age-stated Japanese Whiskeys (the ones 100% distilled and aged in Japan) fly off the shelves and/or get marked up 2-10x. Yamazaki 18 Year Japanese Whiskey is one of the older Japanese whiskeys you can buy today, if you can even find one in real life.

![]() "beginning to rust at bottom seam of rear hatch" "under carriage rust at the spare tire crank point under the rear hatch" "Back side passenger door on drivers side + underside of back hatch" It would cost more to repair, so it will be driven until inoperable." I learned this is a common problem for this vehicle after it was paid off. "The rear wheel well aprons and tailgate bottom began seriously rusting in the last 12 months. why don't you have a seperate trim over the rim around the wheel well. They also rust proofed the underside of the newly repaired areas." I had a repair shop repair and repaint the damaged areas. "The rear fender wells were starting to rust due to chipping from road debris thrown by the tires. Notice this is a problem with other Escapes of same vintage." "Left quarter panel at wheel well is beginning to rust thru. I haven't seen a single one without rust spots in those areas." "The bottom of the tailgate and the body around the wheel wells rust on all of these. ![]() We also have a 2004 Suburu Forester with no body rust at all so a I know that a solid body CAN be constructed." When Ford was contacted about the premature rust, they failed to help at all. "It started showing the significant signs of rust on the rear wheel wells on both sides after 4 years and now looks terrible. This resulted in no rust for well over 12 years." This was extremely bad advice! Every vehicle I bought previously I had it rustproofed. I was told when I bought the Escape that I didn't need to get it rustproofed. Just about every Ford Escape 2012 or older has the same problem. Apparently this is a problem with this vehicle given the dual panel construction. ![]() "Rust developed in the driver side rear quarter panel. "Rust on tailgate, rust all over the car." "Bottom edge of rear lift gate became severely rusted after 4 years" "Above the right rear tire well there are spots of rust, paint is coming off, and the exterior is coming off" "Rust is forming on the bottom edge of the lift gate and under the wheel wells of both rear wheels" Body shop says Ford worst company for standing behind their product" And I always check when I see them in a parking lot. Seems to be a common problem with this vehicle as I see the same rust pattern and paint peeling on Ford Escapes of the same vintage. "Rust over rear wheel wells and bottom of lift gate. "rust is just starting on rear wheel well" "Car rusting in rear wheel wells very early in it's life" "Rear fender rusting from the inside out and paint peeling off" Finally told that complaint was no longer valid because of warranty had expired" Repeatedly got the runaround from the dealer regarding the rust. "Vehicle claimed it had a five-year rust warranty. "Back hatch door, rear fender wells above wheel" "Back quarter panels started to rust within 3 years" This is a poor design and poorly manufactured. There is no sealant between the metal sheets, drainage looks minimal (trapping dirt and water) until it corrodes. The wheel wells are constructed out of two pieces of painted sheet metal that are spot welded together. The 60 month perforation wty had expired approx. "The body rotted through on both sides above each rear wheel (along the fender well lip. Body shop states that it is a design flaw, fixing it would cost apx $800. ![]() "Rusting on the upper portion of the wheel well - rear driver's side. "Paint is bubbling and metal is rusting on both rear wheel wells" As noted on rear hatch it was also corroded on inside (nut corroded on) due to window leak" "Rust: Both bracket hinges for rear hatch window developed white corrosion PASS side bracket completely broke in two, DR side other was cracked approx. I take it there for everything why did they miss it! Tech told me to try to fight for it I lost" "Tailgate and rear well paint flaw peeling paint caused rust dealer knew it said I was out of warranty. "Paint began to chip and peel in two places on the front bumper." The paint began to peel off before the rust set in." "Front grill chrome cracked, peeled, and the grill needed replaced" Ford repainted it, at no charge, and so far it is ok" "The paint on the top of the lift gate started to peel off. "Paint cracking and peeling around only one wheel" "Paint peeling down to bare metal on driver rear wheel well and liftgate" "Rust pain coming off back bumpers and by trunk they fixed front around tires earlier" "The paint is coming off of course where the rust is looks bad" "The paint is cracking and peeling over the two rear wheel wells" "Paint and finish deteriorating quickly even after taking good care of car with cleaning and waxing" Paint (fading, chalking, cracking, or peeling) "Some trim on the tailgate came loose and the dealer had to reattach" "as already mentioned crossbar immediateley under rear window" ![]() ![]() Previous versions of the operating system shouldn't be a problem with Windows 8, Windows 7 and Windows Vista having been tested.

Overwolf is a software platform to help developers create extensions for video games. In June 2020 Overwolf bought CurseForge from Twitch and Amazon. After that many WoW players moved from using a discontinued CurseForge app to Twitch’s own app for addon management. Curse was put under CurseForge, which became the core of Twitch’s game mod system. In 2016 Curse was acquired by Amazon, through its subsidiary Twitch. It was originally a part of Curse, a network of gaming sites focused on addons for MMORPGs like WoW. Here are an overview and my review of how Overwolf is taking over the CurseForge legacy.ĬurseForge is a popular mod repository dating back to World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade.

You took care to understand the nature of my life and work, and to fit your advice to me in ‘my context’ rather than just dealing the specific condition with which you were confronted. It is very important to any patient to have the opportunity to know more, to learn more, and to receive reassurance where that is possible. The time and attention you gave me in consultations were enormously welcome. You explained how long this would take and you were precisely right, which meant I was able to manage my life and work during that period with confidence. The most important thing and what I much appreciated was the time you took to explain the position clearly, particularly the timing and process. ![]() You temporarily arrested the potential for further damage in the short term with laser treatment pending the (vitrectomy) operation that was successful.
