Recording on the road: Odesi allows you to record melodies, chords and bass from both your MIDI controller and your computer keyboard.When a session is finished, Odesi automatically sends it as an email attachment for backup and safekeeping Older sessions will no longer be lost on external hard drives and buried in a closet.

![]() That high HP making them functionally relatively resistant to Spells and Rage attacks makes them a pain to nuke down for the player, but no enemy gets Rage and only Hero fights and Keeper fights can involve the enemy nuking you with Spells, so that quality has little use in the player's hands. They're also one of the first examples (In the context of this post order, I mean) of a unit that's really more frustrating in AI hands than it is useful in player hands. Plus, the AI doesn't get gear-based support for Dwarves and ignores racial AI modifiers, so. They're reasonably durable, but not exceptional.

(Which don't care about Defense and don't automatically scale to stack size) Which. Dwarves are thus surprisingly durable, especially relative to Spells and Rage attacks. Generally speaking, the more HP per head a unit has, the less HP it has per Leadership.

This is honestly the least of their problems as a 'faction', unfortunately. (And they have a bunch of Tolerant units, to boot) which arguably makes them the most problematic race for cross-race considerations, since the Elven hostility can't be dealt with at all and their Demon hostility takes Tolerances 2, where Elves (Who we'll be covering next) have basically the mirror image but are instead most hostile to Undead, which can be cleared by Tolerance 1. 2 Morale from Undead presence in allies.

From the French we get many of the terms still used in Solitaire today. Some variants of Solitaire are still used for cartomancy today.įrom the Rhineland, the Solitaire craze moved west into France. Some early evidence suggests that Solitaire began as a fortune telling game, and only later became a game of strategy.

The objective of most solitaire games is to organize a shuffled deck of cards into four piles (one for each suit) in ascending order from Ace to King.

When you are approaching the end and you have used all of the mineral planets, begin turning every gas giant and, if there is one extra mineral planet, that too, into stars. Run each star into two ascension gates. If you take three of those from the same planet, you can lead them all into one lab. If multiple appear close together, you cannot take two resources from the same planet, but with the building that makes organics into food, you can. ![]() In the years waiting for the technology and money you need for forge cycles, you find pairs of Earths + forests/ocean. Never waste a single mineral planet, nor a gas giant! (I'll explain in a second.)Ī science boost trick is always using food/organics, besides science from forge cy cles. One forge cycle gives roughly a 200 economy boost, and you can usually find 2-3 forge cycle opportunities per map. In that strategy, you'll have more happiness but only a +5 science boost. Leave an open slipgate to split into two seperate labs to get a huge +10 science boost. Another option is also including an ice planet, not a gas giant. With these, you need to construct a trail of slipgates that connects two mineral planets (bot mining), four forge planets, (Replication is huge), one making tech and three making bots. Where most of the points come from is what I like to call Forge Cycles. From then on, the main strategy is not wasting a single month. I then look for a xeno planet to supply the bot planet with organics. I always start in the center of the map, and look around for Remnant, a planet you can use bots -> food (Ocean, Earth), and another Earth (humans).

Select the local KNotes database file (it's managed by Kontact, so you won't interact with that file directly) and enable the selection to use this location by default. The first time you create a note, you're prompted to choose a destination for the saved note. To create a new note, right-click the KNote icon in your system tray and select New Note. In the dialogue window, paste the location of the Sticky Notes app and click on. Its icon is a small yellow square, because before sticky notes got colorful in real life they tended to all be yellow.

Free online course: RHEL Technical OverviewĮven though KNotes is part of Kontact, it's also a stand-alone application that can run in the background, ready to produce a blank note whenever you need one.On a Debian-based distribution, use the apt command instead of dnf. If not, you can install it from your package manager: $ sudo dnf install kontact If you're running the Plasma Desktop, then you probably already have KNotes installed. KNotes is part of the Kontact suite, which is the personal information manager (PIM) for KDE. The application is called KNotes, and if you have random ideas that you feel like jotting down, it's probably something you want to consider for your own Linux desktop. So I was happy to recently discover that the KDE Plasma Desktop has digital sticky notes, and in many ways they're even more useful than the physical ones. It was a beautiful and satisfying thing to witness, and it gave me a new respect for sticky notes. People wrote ideas for talks and presentations on those colorful adhesive notepads, and stuck them to a common wall, and other people grouped similar ideas into clusters, and eventually everyone knew where to congregate to discuss specific topics. It didn't happen with magic, but with sticky notes. It was a chaotic event at first, with lots of socializing and sharing of personal projects, but it gradually coalesced into a mostly self-organized technical event. I remember the first time I went to an "un" conference. |
