You ponder over the sad state of the town while sketching one day, when you are interrupted by bullies who snatch your sketchbook, tear it apart and throw the pages away. You are Ash, an artistic kid who spends time sketching in his sketchbook and is bullied by the other kids. People started leaving, miscreants grew in number and darkness took over. Small port town, beautiful vistas, a quaint lighthouse and charming houses, Denska the fictional town of Concrete Genie, used to have all of this before disaster struck in the name of an oil spill which spelled doom for the town. Released in 2019 to a host of good reviews, this PlayStation exclusive is sure to be an experience that you will cherish. “The pen is mightier than the sword but the mightiest of them all is the paintbrush” this quote by great ole me (hehe) gives you an idea as to what you’ll be doing in this lovely and fabulous looking game. WARNING: This guide contains spoilers for the game's story.Disclaimer: This review contains spoilers, please read at your discretion. Welcome to Concrete Genie! Developed by Pixelopus and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, this game was originally announced at Paris Games Week in 2017 and stars Ash, a young boy and aspiring artist who was bullied by a group of local kids that end up destroying his sketchbook, scattering the pages across the many locales of Denska, a once proud city now covered in darkness. Will Ash recover the missing pages from his sketchbook and save Denska from the darkness? Upon forcibly entering the lighthouse thanks to the bullies, he encounters his most recent drawing a genie named Luna, as she comes to life before his very eyes. This game is a coming of age tale with a central theme of escaping from your bullies by using illicit street paintings to find comfort and safety away from them. In terms of trophies, this game is particularly easy with some story and collectible related trophies, and those that relate to extra activities you can do with your genie friends. NOTE: Before you start playing this game, you should take note that the game has stability issues that can prevent you from progressing further into the game's story and potentially crash the game. This is possibly due to the game being unoptimized for use on either a fat or slim PS4 (which might mean that the game might have been made with the PS4 Pro (and to an extent the PS5) in mind), as well as what you have your system's language set to so be sure to save your game and change your system's language to English before attempting to go further in the game's story (the latter should be done in the event where you are playing the game on a PS4 Pro or PS5 but you should also do so on either a fat or slim PS4, just in case).Ĭontrols: (You can change the controls for moving the Paint Cursor in the game's options by selecting either Game or Accessibility) There is also a free paint mode where the player can freely paint any scene to their heart's desire. : Drop Down / Exit Painting / Wind Attacks : Re-center Paint Cursor (while painting) / Electric Attacks : Camera Movement / Move Paint Cursor (only if you have set it to the right stick in the game's options) #CONCRETE GENIE LIGHTHOUSE PAGES PRO# Move the controller around to move the Paint Cursor (only if you have it set to Motion Control in the game's options) : Undo Painting (while painting) / Paint Skate This should be both your first and most important priority as you will need to playthrough the game and finish the story from start to finish. You will also earn some trophies while on the way (such as those for collectables, for example), but you should save the rest of these trophies until the post game so you will have more free time to finish any collectibles and genie moments afterwards. Upon completing this step, you will have the following trophies unlocked: #CONCRETE GENIE LIGHTHOUSE PAGES FREE# Step 2: Post-Game Adventures (Collectibles and Luna's Secret Place)Īfter completing the game, you can now freely explore any area with no limitations on what you can do.

Paid leave has even been shown to yield economic benefit. Most countries provide some sort of paid parental leave, with proven benefits for kids and parents, including increased nursing. There’s a straightforward solution to this problem: six months of family leave for new parents, paid at a livable wage. This is particularly true for workers of color, who disproportionately lack access to the kinds of jobs that allow for time off a 2016 report showed that 40 percent of Latinx birth parents took no leave at all, compared with 27 percent of white birth parents who reported the same. The technologies that make pumping marginally less frustrating-and even the policies that are set up to support it-just tinker around the edges of an inherently broken thing: that so many parents are separated from their babies earlier than they want to be, because they can’t afford not to be. But sending my son off to spend his day with someone else while I am trying to sustain breastfeeding sets up a whole chain of challenges and unsatisfactory solutions. This is not because I don’t like my job I love it, in fact, and wouldn’t want to be a stay-at-home parent for the long term even if it were financially feasible. And despite all my troubleshooting, each cup has a stubborn leak that slowly drips milk into my bra.īut there’s another issue, which no technological advance can fix: Pumping just reminds me that I wish I weren’t apart from my baby. They also have one tiny tube that isn’t supposed to get milk into it, but somehow does, leaving me to battle the creep of an unsettling grayish mold. My hands-free cups need constant cleaning, yet the instructions make clear that they must at all costs not be put into a dishwasher. While the pump has saved me time and upped my productivity, the new technology still doesn’t provide the frictionless experience of my working-parent dreams. Personally, while looking through the marketing images of slim, happy women pumping at the beach, on the ski slope, and in yoga class, I also hoped my new technology would do something about that terrible feeling I remembered, the inexplicable dread that had been my constant pumping companion.Ī few months into my new pumping journey, the results are underwhelming. All of this is supposed to make it easier for people who are breast- or chestfeeding to produce milk even when apart from their babies for much of the day. It can download newspapers and convert them into ebooks for convenient reading. It can go out to the Internet and fetch metadata for your books. It is a feature rich eBook management software that comes with several eBook related.

So, the path to my library is 'y:ebooks' where Y: is mounted using 'Map Network Drive' in windows explorer. I run calibre on my PC and it reads the library which is on a mounted network drive. It’s also completely free and open source and great for both casual users and computer experts. Running Calibre from NAS simply exposes how horribly slow, unoptimised and unsecure it is.

If calibre-portable-installer-1.31.0.exe is error, whenever you start the application/game you may experience various kinds of errors. Is your e-book collection is a disorganised mess of different formats and competing viewers? It doesn't have to be that way. The ghosts are pretty cute, but the bugs look like an ominous, swarming cloud. The only way to get rid of them is to summon Pac-Man for help, and he will chase them away or eat them. The biggest difference between the original Tamagotchi and this special edition is that the Pac-Man Tamagotchi can experience ghost and bug outbreaks. In the Catch Game, the Tamagotchi must quickly change directions to eat cherries, dots, power pellets, and ghosts when they pop up on the screen. If the Tamagotchi runs into a ghost, the game is over. It’s like a more basic version of the original arcade game with only three rows of dots instead of an entire screen. In the Pac Game, players must eat dots while avoiding ghosts. Like other Tamagotchis, there are two mini- games included, but they have a Pac-Man twist. But if your Tamagotchi is sad for too long, it will run away from home. If your Tamagotchi baby is feeling down in the dumps, you can cheer it up by feeding it Pac-Man’s favorite food: cherries. I’m a ‘90s purist so I prefer the original, but there are a few Pac-Man updates that fans of the little yellow chomper might appreciate. Like the original, it will alert you with a beep if it needs something, and you can feed it or play with it to make it happy. The Tamagotchi character grows and evolves into different characters based on how well you take care of it. While this retro mashup seems super exciting, don’t get too hyped up: It’s very similar to the regular Tamagotchi. Bandai America is celebrating the anniversary with a Pac-Man Tamagotchi, combining the best of ‘80s and ‘90s nostalgia. I would love to know Pac-Man’s skin care regimen because he is looking great for 40 years old. I ate there twice if not three times a day and ever since then I’ve been scouring the cityscape for the real deal, which must be cooked on a spit. They reminded me of gyros, except with so much more flavor. It was Spring Break my sophomore year of college and the one thing I could vividly remember was the addicting tacos coming from a vendor in the food court of a mega mall. Me personally? I first fell in love with tacos al pastor in Cancun of all places. Ralat believes the root of the issue is a “cultural/culinary prejudice that sees Mexican food as dirty and dangerous.” Despite the fact that well known chefs like Alex Stupak have made al pastor a hip and trendy thing, the prejudice persists-even though no one’s getting sick in Mexico. While setting up a trompo of al pastor and selling tacos on a corner might be possible in a place like Los Angeles, it’s not accepted in cities like Dallas where cooking meat on a trompo is considered a no-no by health departments. Aside from the whole ingredients thing, there’s also local law. Unfortunately the same goes for tacos al pastor on the streets of D.F., or elsewhere in Mexico. So while we can still experience some truly amazing tacos, none will ever achieve the out-of-body-experience that eating a Cochinita Pibil taco on the streets of Mérida can bring. We just don’t have the same ingredients here in the states. Ralat once told me: “Go to Mexico.” I had never thought about it before like he explained it, but he was dead on as I thought back to the tacos I’ve eaten while there. WHEN SOMEONE ASKS ME WHERE TO get the best tacos, I can’t help but think of what noted taco historian José R. This was in 1966 and no one else disputes it, so El Tizoncito is considered the birthplace of this style which is now found all over, and of the iconic look of tacos al pastor-a meat cone on a spit, topped with a chunk of pineapple. The first place of business to add pineapple is said to be El Tizoncito in Mexico City. No one’s sure how pineapple came into play, but adding fruit to pork dishes for a sweet and sour tang is traditional in Mexican cooking culture. As Tacopedia points out, the biggest changes in the product were the meat itself-which switched from lamb to heavily marinated pork in adobo (never mind that they’re still named “shepherd’s tacos”)-and the addition of cilantro and onion. To this day there’s a handful of businesses in Puebla that claim to be the original source of Arab tacos, with two of them, Antigua Taqueria La Oriental and Tacos Árabes Bagdad, going as far back as 1933. In Chicago one has to look no further than the Anteliz family to find tacos árabe-both Cemitas Puebla in Logan Square and Cemitas Zurita in Little Village can set you up with some, while further west, in Aurora, so can Las Cemitas Poblanas (no relation except in inspiration).Īs tacos árabe made their way elsewhere in Mexico, they quickly morphed into something else completely, and that’s where tacos al pastor begin. Shortly thereafter the taco árabe was born, spit-roasted meat served on either pitas or corn tortillas. For the superior motor, battery, and being fully loaded with a suspension fork, mudguards, front and rear lights, and advanced display, you’re getting a pretty good deal. Many riders call the Rad a good entry-level bike for the price and quality. Many cheaper bikes don’t come with suspension forks. And not only that, the tires are puncture-proof, so you have more confidence when riding through accidental debris.Īnd what makes the Rad Mini stand out from the cheaper foldable ebikes is that it actually has front suspension. Most fat tires are typically 3.5″-5″, so having a little bit of a skinnier tire makes it better suited for the road than regular fat tires without compromising too much. There are other fat electric bikes out there, but the mini offers a good balance between on and off-road riding.įor starters, the tires on the Rad Mini are 3.3″ Kenda K-Rad multi-terrain tires. The great thing about the Rad Mini is that it’s designed for the roads and the trails. Comparing this to similar bikes like Ecotric 20″ Fat Tire Bike, their max range is 23 miles per charge. With the large battery capacity, the Mini has a range of of 45+ miles. These are top of the line 48V, 14 Ah battereis made from Lithium NMC Samsung 35E cells rated for 800 cycles. You’ll be experiencing significantly more power with your Rad Mini compare to the other bikes.Īnd even better, the Rad Mini comes with the same batteries other Rad Bikes use. For comparison, a 500W motor probably won’t get you up hills by itself, but a 750W motor can. Most foldable electric bikes on the market typically range from 250W to 500W motors, so having a 750W is really good. Having a 750W motor on an ebike is pretty decent. The smaller 20″ wheels combined with its 750W motor means it has a lot of torque for the hills, more so than full size electric bikes. The Mini isn’t a dinky little folding bike. More Power, Torque, and RangeĬompared to other folding ebikes, the Rad Mini ranks highest when it comes to power. The front wheel and battery also come off to save you even more space. The tote is nice so mini has a nice place to sit and doesn’t unfold accidentally. While it’s not exactly light, I’m able to carry the mini inside and keep it inside a tote folded up. Being able to store my Rad Mini in the trunk or even the back seat made things a lot easier. These racks for electric bikes can cost a few hundred dollars. The thing with bike racks is, I would need to install a special one since ebikes are much heavier. I know it was for me, as I didn’t like the idea of having to install a bike rack in my car. Space Savingsįor a lot of people, being able to fold the bike and stick it in their car is a huge reason for getting the Mini. Here were my top reasons why I decided to go with a Rad Mini: 1. Having fun on the bike was the main appeal.ĭuring the time I was doing a lot of research, I kept seeing Rad over and over again, so I dug deeper to see if the Rad Mini was really worth the price. I mostly wanted the bike to cruise around in, take on the trails, and maybe do some errands with. I didn’t plan on doing long bike rides with the Mini (so I thought).
