![]() Seeing Erend struggle with tempering his inherent want to smash everything with a hammer or Varl’s enthusiasm to support Aloy all land because of the emotion conveyed on their faces. You aren’t just told about the threat Regalla and her rebels pose to the region, you see the fear and anger it evokes in those around you. Coming back to base to see what your friends have to say about events cements the stakes of the plot. The moments when you see characters talk to each other are some of the most impressive in the game. Your companions’ faces come alive when they react to Aloy. Exceptional animation brings the characters you meet to life. Guerrilla Games has always made beautiful games but here the team’s technical art serves the story. It’s ultimately what makes Forbidden West more than just another open-world, action game. It may not have the choices of Mass Effect and Dragon Age, but we felt as involved with our companions as we would in those classic RPGs. While this is a linear story with only a handful of branches to choose between, we still formed deep relationships with these characters. ![]() If you want, you can spend hours talking to your companions. ![]() This focus on character in Forbidden West is clear from how much time you spend in dialogue trees. It fleshes out the world of Forbidden West and makes it feel lived in. Each character brings new perspectives, relating events back to you from a different angle. That includes wonderful new additions to Aloy’s inner circle like Zo, a fierce personality from a largely peaceful tribe, and Kotallo, a brooding warrior dealing with the recent loss of an arm. Varl and Erend return, but the game has a broader interest in 'putting together a team'. And it works because of the rich characters that fill the world. Forbidden West is about reconnecting with humanity and forming, or reforming, friendships. She’s forcing herself into a lonely existence as she doesn’t want to burden others with the weight of her own. She quietly slinks off into the night to avoid accepting the help of Varl, pushes away Erend having left him after the first game without a word. While never uncaring, especially to the downtrodden and those in need, at the start of the game, Aloy is running from social connections. ![]() ![]() One subspecies of the Black Rhino, the South-western Black Rhino ( D. The increase in Black Rhino numbers is mainly due to continuing law enforcement efforts and successful population management measures, including moving selected rhinos from established populations to new locations to keep populations productive and increase the species’ range. It will be criticial for the voices of those working in the field to protect threatened species such as African Rhinos to be amplified in coming years as we set the conservation agenda for the next decade.” International, national and local actors need to work together to tackle the biodiversity crisis. “It is crucial that local people are increasingly involved in and benefit from conservation efforts. “These developments for African rhinos show the changes that can be achieved through committed conservation action,” said Dr Jane Smart, Global Director of the IUCN Biodiversity Conservation Group. “It is essential that the ongoing anti-poaching measures and intensive, proactive population management continue, with support from national and international actors." At the same time, it is evident that there is no room for complacency as poaching and illegal trade remain acute threats," said Dr Grethel Aguilar, Acting Director General of IUCN. "While Africa’s rhinos are by no means safe from extinction, the continued slow recovery of Black Rhino populations is a testament to the immense efforts made in the countries the species occurs in, and a powerful reminder to the global community that conservation works. The IUCN Red List now includes 116,177 species of which 31,030 are threatened with extinction. Population models predict a further slow increase over the next five years, according to today’s update. Between 20, the Black Rhino ( Diceros bicornis) population across Africa has grown at a modest annual rate of 2.5% from an estimated 4,845 to 5,630 animals in the wild, respectively. ![]() It's great that Six Flags is putting this level of capital into parks again, and I'm extremely curious as to whether these rumors about Intamin ultimately do happen, too! So yeah, with all that being said, exciting times ahead for Great Adventure. This lines up with SFOG and SFFT, both of whom are set to make significant (potentially coaster) announcements on August 19th and 26th, respectively. Expect work to begin soon near the Log Flume and Medusa, perhaps by/on the arena site.Īccording to a post on the Great Adventure Connoisseurs Facebook group, it's been suggested that we'll see teasers start dropping next month and an announcement near Labor Day. The park has recently put many people underneath NDA's, but rumor mill is strongly suggesting a coaster incoming. I've mentioned in other threads recently that Intamin is back and cooking with Six Flags again, and Great Adventure is a likely culprit if this holds true. For all intents and purposes right now, the B&M project is dead. This would have used a two-across train design and spanned across much of the lakeside, and there's been some debate about whether Selim Bassoul pulled the plug or not. Legend has it that near the end of his tenure, Six Flags boss man Mike Spanos signed off a B&M giga for New Jersey. It's unclear right now whether the rest of the coaster will still be repainted next year - if so we're perhaps looking at a shade of green. The yellow trains suddenly became light blue over the offseason, with B&M even shipping a new one in so they could retire an existing one. However, because repainting a hyper coaster isn't cheap, the structure paint was put off a year, with the trains instead being redone in the meantime. Rumors about this makeover range from a return to its 1970's look all the way to turntable and backwards drop for 2024 I'm more inclined to believe the former.Ī planned Nitro repaint has been in the books since last year, with talk that it would even receive a new name in the process. Saw Mill Log Flume is currently closed, with banners and the website announcing a makeover for next summer. ![]() Here is more or less a list of what we know is happening, what might be happening, and what isn't happening very big plans in terms of capital expenditure. Six Flags Great Adventure will be celebrating its 50th anniversary next season. There's been a lot of word swirling around this park as of the last few months so it's about high time we create a thread. ![]() If you’d not touched this game since it came out, it’s definitely worth another whirl. The game is a heart-pounding adventure set after Rapture has completely collapsed – people have turned themselves into monsters from excessive DNA splicing, and the protagonist has little context of why you’re there or what you want to do, other than a disembodied voice named Atlas who’s constantly in your ear. Returning back to the underwater city of Rapture in 2020 feels chillingly relevant – the civil war between the upper-class demagogues and lower-class opportunists which destroyed what should have been a utopia, feels better reflected in today’s context of billionaires flashing their influence on Twitter and espousing their admiration for Ayn Rand. One of the first times a game actually made me jump in fright. It was one of the first MA games I’d ever played. Released in 2007 for PC and Xbox 360, Irrational Games’ first foray into the ideology-themed retro-futuristic shooter holds a special place in my heart. They’re not exactly games which I needed to have on-the-go, but for posterity’s sake, it’s good that games as significant as these are available everywhere.īioShock 1 has arguably aged the best out of the whole trilogy. Saving the idea of playing on a laptop, this is the first time the series has been truly portable – now in 2020, you can fight the evils of objectivism while riding a train or save a young woman from a terrifying robot-bird from the comfort of your bed. The Switch ports are scaled-down versions of the recent PS4 and Xbox One remasters of the BioShock Collection, which have been tidied up to run on Switch. So given that these are significant titles, are they worth your while on the Switch? As I’ll come to argue in a later thinkpiece, all roads lead to BioShock. The series as a whole (or at least more accurately 1 and 3) have laid so much groundwork for the way we conceive games. We’ve never quite stopped talking about it – not as players, not as critics, not as developers. And maybe that’s more a statement about how quickly time has passed rather than how robust the ideas within these three games are, but revisiting BioShock feels almost quaint. BioShock, BioShock 2 and BioShock Infinite are, amazingly, retro games now. I love how far the gaming medium has come in such a short amount of time. ![]() Weaknesses: Rarely takes things seriously Has been involved in numerous experiments regarding extraterrestrial life and made weaponry that can neutralize their physics defying supernatural powers.

As millions of people around the world were forced to quarantine indoors, TikTok emerged as a space where people could escape the mundane and “romanticise” their lives. TikTok’s approachability is also why the app blew up in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic. Unlike Instagram, where real-life celebrities also dominate feeds, everyday users on TikTok can become influencers simply by being themselves. TikTok - a social media app that launched in 2016 - has grown in popularity for its bite-sized clips and platform-specific trends. The What About Me effect kind of came out of receiving those types of comments, and then it just popped into my head.” ![]() ![]() Maybe you’re just not the target audience for it. “I’m like, what about it? Maybe this video is just not for you. “I’m sure other creators can relate to this, because we do get comments all the time like: ‘Well, what about my specific situation?’” she tells The Independent. As a content creator for the past three years, Lockwood said she became aware of the What About Me effect because she too saw it happening under her own videos. The What About Me effect soon took off, as content creators were finally able to put a name to the annoying and irritating responses they receive from unintentional social media trolls. “We make everything about ourselves and seek out accommodations and validation for everything.” “Instead of just saying: ‘Hey, if I don’t like beans maybe I shouldn’t watch this bean soup video,’” Lockwood said. Lockwood ranted to her 70,000 TikTok followers about her frustration when she came across the bean soup video, and the barrage of commenters asking for recipe substitutions. “The What About Me effect basically combines individualistic culture with being chronically online, and it is rampant on TikTok,” she said. The newly-dubbed What About Me effect, Lockwood explained, described the phenomenon of when a video or topic “doesn’t really pertain” to someone’s lifestyle or interests, but they somehow “find a way to make it about them”. “I wanna talk to you guys about something I’ve decided to call the What About Me effect,” Lockwood said in her video, which has been viewed more than four million times since it was posted on 14 September. Enough was enough for Lockwood, and she took to the platform to make her own video describing these remarks as “what about me?” comments. Another video for a strawberry milk recipe had someone else wondering if they could still drink the milk, even though they were allergic to strawberries. ![]() This wasn’t the first time Lockwood, who is a 26-year-old lifestyle coach and content creator living in New York and New Jersey, had seen comments like this before. “Can I substitute the beans with something else?” wrote one TikTok user. While the recipe was straightforward, and seemed to be catered to a very specific group of people, a number of comments under the video asked whether they could replace the beans in the bean soup video for another ingredient. The vegan recipe - which, you guessed it, contained beans - promised to be a healthy way for women to up their iron intake during menstruation. (TikTok Lockwood was scrolling on TikTok one morning when she came across a video for bean soup. ![]() ![]() What I never realised but I want you to realise is that you are worth it. There is always someone out there who knows what you are going through and there is always someone who can and wants to help you. But the most important thing is that there is always hope. I surround myself with friends who love me and support me and I make sure I avoid my triggers. Now, I still have my days, anyone who knows me can tell you that and yeah, it is hard and I struggle every day but I know how to cope with my problems now.

Beyond Blue funded Australia’s first Trans Mental Health Study, which found that trans 10 people experience very high levels of depression and anxiety. It was then that I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression. It wasn’t until I started seeing someone at the local Child and Youth Mental Health Service (CYMHS) that I even knew what was wrong with me. It felt as though there was a big wall between me and any possibility of a future or any hope. ![]() If it hadn’t been for my dad, I wouldn’t be writing this right now.Īfter this, I knew I needed help, but how? Where? Who could help me and more importantly who would want to? Mental health had never been talked about with me and I had no idea what was happening to me. Unfortunately, this was the same day I wanted it all to end. I had these feelings for a long time, years in fact but it wasn’t until that I realised how wrong something was. I was scared of everything and didn’t want to live life anymore. I avoided social situations and had self-image issues. I used to wake up every morning and wonder if there was any point in getting out of bed and starting the day I had ahead of me.
