He apologized for the long wait, explained that they were short-staffed that day, and invited the reviewer back for a complimentary meal. Instead of ignoring the review, the café owner responded promptly. Now, let's look at a case study that perfectly illustrates the power of an appropriate response.Ī local café received a scathing review about their slow service during peak hours. Here's what constitutes a violation of Yelp's guidelines (you can read more about Yelps guidelines here): If you come across a review that seems inappropriate or fake, you can report it to Yelp for possible removal. Not all reviews are created equal, and sometimes, they may violate Yelp's Content Guidelines. Here’s the actual process… Reporting a Review on Yelp for Takedown The semi-bad news is that regardless of whether or not you’re a Yelp advertising customer or not, the only way you can get rid of bad Yelp reviews is if the review itself is inappropriate and violates the Yelp TOS (terms of service), in which case you can report the review to Yelp and it will be reviewed for possible removal. It's time to embrace the challenge head-on! How to Get Bad Yelp Reviews Removed So, instead of losing sleep over those one-star ratings, let's roll up our sleeves and turn them into opportunities for growth and improvement. In the end, it's not just about the negative review itself, but how you handle it that counts. Ignoring negative reviews doesn't make them disappear it simply makes your business appear indifferent to customer feedback.Ī bad review left unanswered can create a snowball effect, deterring potential customers who might think you don't care about their experiences. The ramifications of NOT addressing these concerns can be far more damaging. And let's not forget the concern that competitors may be behind those scathing reviews (more about how to report a fake review in a bit). There's also the worry about a single negative review tarnishing years of hard work and dedication. Some fear the potential loss of customers, others dread the damage to their online reputation. But the common worries that plague businesses regarding negative Yelp reviews are many and varied. Just a reminder that I have planned following visual settings for my game: I tried to make not just abstract or generic stuff but something that I can later use in my game. I liked it so much so I decided to dedicate all my spare time to procedural assets creation. In the previous blog post I mentioned that I started to learn Houdini and Houdini Engine in particular to create procedural assets in Unity. As of right now, the 3ds Max plug-in does not make use of these tagsĬustom tools can be removed from the list by pressing the Remove Shelf button on the tool shelf window.In this devlog I will showcase my experiments with Houdini and achieved results. This field is an array of arbitrary strings. The Unity plugin will only load tools that have either "All" or "unity" specified. The target field is an array where all of the intended plug-in targets can be specified. This defines a URL to a more detailed documentation on the tool.īecause this shelf system is available in all of the Houdini Engine plug-ins, it is possible to create tools that work for all of the plug-ins or just a subset of the plug-ins. For example, if the tool is defined in helpful_tool.json, the plug-in will look for helpful_tool.hda in the same directory. If this field is missing, the plug-in will automatically look in the same directory as the json definition file for a. This is the absolute or relative path to the hda. For example, if the tool is defined in helpful_tool.json, the plug-in will look for helpful_tool.png in the same directory. This is the absolute or relative path to the icon image. This is a tool tip description that will appear when hovering over the shelf tool If not set, default value will be set to OPERATOR_SINGLE. Type of the tool, describing how the tool should handle selection and input assignment. The name for the tool that will be displayed in the shelf tool interface in the Place panel. Here is a description of each field in the description files: Field Clicking on the Add Shelf button will let you add more tool shelves, pointing to directories containing your own HDA that will be used to create Custom Houdini Tool. Tools are grouped in different shelves, that can be changed using the Active Shelf combobox. You can select GameObjects in the hierarchy before creating the tool to automatically assign the inputs.Ĭontent browser selection will automatically be assigned to Node Inputs. An instance of the tool will be created for each selected object, and the tool's first input will be set to that object. Batch Operator: Tools that needs to be applied multiple times, once for each selected object.The order in which the objects are selected will determine the order they will have in the assets inputs. Each object selected will be assigned to its own input. Operator (multiple): Tools that need to have multiple inputs automatically assigned to be used.All objects selected will be assigned to that Houdini Assets's first input. Operator (single): Tools that only need to have their first input automatically assigned when used. Generator tool will only use the current world selection to set their transform to the mean of all the transforms of the selected Actors. Generator: Tools that simply generate geometry and do not need input to be automatically assigned when used.Houdini Tools can have the following types: The Houdini Tools are available in the Houdini Engine section of the Place panel of the Modes Tab.Ĭlicking on a tool and then pressing "Create Tool" at the bottom of the window will automatically instance and apply it to the current selection according to its Type. The plug-in comes with default Houdini Tools, but you can easily add your own Custom Houdini Tool by adding a Custom Tool directory in the Houdini Engine placement mode, or by editing the Custom Houdini Tool Locations in the Houdini Engine tab of the project settings. The tools can automatically assign inputs or be batch applied, and can have their functionalities and parameters described through their tooltip help. The Houdini Engine Shelf Tools lets you easily apply Houdini Assets to the current selection in the World Outliner or the Content Browser. They can now also be shared and used with all the Houdini Engine Plugins. In Houdini 17.0, they now uses json description files, and are read from a set of Custom Tools directories, aka Tool Shelves. Added to the plug-in in Houdini 16.5, Houdini Tools are user-friendly shortcuts to hda files that reside in the Place Mode Tab. Sometimes, the term neutropenia is also used to indicate a low blood count. some medications, such as chemotherapy and antibiotics.liver and spleen diseases, such as an enlarged spleen.Leukopenia is the medical term used to describe a low WBC count. To identify the exact cause of a high or low WBC count, your doctor will take several factors into consideration, such as your list of current medications, any symptoms you have, and your medical history. If your test results are abnormal, it may mean that your numbers are higher or lower than the normal range for your age.Ī low or high WBC count can point to a blood disorder or other medical condition. These types of white blood cells include: They have different roles in protecting your body from infection and dealing with infected cells. There are five major types of white blood cells. It separates the count out by the different types of white blood cells and looks to see if they are in the normal range. White blood cell differentialĭoctors may also order a white blood cell count differential, which provides a breakdown of your white blood cell count. This test also helps doctors monitor the effectiveness of chemotherapy, radiation treatment, and other therapies in people with cancer. These cells help fight infection by attacking bacteria, viruses, and germs that invade the body.Ī white blood cell count can detect hidden infections within your body and alert doctors to undiagnosed medical conditions, such as autoimmune diseases, immune deficiencies, and blood disorders. They originate in the bone marrow but move throughout the bloodstream. White blood cells, also called leukocytes, are an important part of the immune system. These tests may be ordered as part of a routine blood test. A WBC count is often done as part of a CBC. summoning Solaire against the Bell Gargoyles. Also, the game doesn't really tell you what humanity does (.metaphor?) but that's a problem, because reversing your hollowing will then allow you to summon, which makes some boss fights easier i.e. It's stuff like that which you just might not figure out on your own. I know some people will consider that a bit spoiler-y but I do firmly believe that Dark Souls doesn't necessarily do a great job of explaining/ making the player aware of all of it's systems.įun fact: for ages I didn't even know you could JUMP, because you have to do this weird double tap on the A button while sprinting. I think the thing that helped was watching some videos online of people playing the game. I was having trouble with it, and I think it was about my 3rd or 4th run that it finally 'clicked'. I beat Dark Souls Remastered for the 1st time a month or so ago. Dark Souls has so many systems and mechanics, and if you know how to cheese them/ break the system, the game actually isn't that hard. but I want to! I'll try again!" and it can take a long time but the reward is always worth it. You get into the rhythm of "Okay this is too difficult, maybe I can't beat it. The reason you end up getting hooked on Souls is because you give it the time and return to it after a series of breaks. I think the diss about Dark Souls being too hard stems from a mentality that some have who are used to beating the games they buy in a day or two, you know, bingers who can plow through a 30 hour game in two days. There's a lot of sources to be "bad" at Dark Souls and almost all of us go through them and have a part where we can't really seem to improve, but then, by trying again and again you get better pretty naturally. Maybe you haven't learned to dodge yet, or maybe you never pull up the shield, or maybe you keep exhausting your stamina spamming the attacks? Git Gud = Try again, or backtrack and get in the groove of fighting, maybe level up over time, and get a feel for how the mechanics work. And if you are anxious about losing souls then wait until you've spent all your souls on a stat point or equipment upgrades or whatever so you can try things without feeling like you are risking a lot of souls on build you are not sure of yet. The moral of all this I guess is experiment, you can ask other people, look online for advice and get told a bunch of different things, but ultimately you've just got to give it a go and see how you feel actually playing with a particular build. But when I actually used it in combat it felt fine, it didn't feel like I was too slow to actually use when fighting. I'd try rolling at different weights but only outside of combat and by direct comparison without proper context the medium roll had felt too slow. After feeling the positive change from changing my weapon I thought I'll try some heavier armour and see if maybe I'm okay with that. And then I got a different weapon drop, tried that out and found I liked it even more.Īs for armour I was focusing on keeping myself light, below 25% equip weight. So I tried it out and just felt much better about it straight away. Eventually I thought to hell with it and just googled 'best dex weapons' and a suggestion that came up a lot was the Balder Side Sword, which I had picked up but not even given a second look to. But this was my weapon, I was invested in it, I had spec my character around it. For the weapon, I was using a Halberd because it had served me well in the earlier parts of the game but as I got further in I was feeling it less and less. So what changed for me? I'd been stuck on using a particular weapon and armour setup. I've actually been playing DSr recently as well (well not today because I had a hellish week and just needed to decompress) and after dropping the game on PS3, and putting the PS4 version aside for a bit I got past the part that had previously stumped me and am progressing into new areas and just generally feeling better about it than I've ever felt before. If you’re considering a home purchase, be sure to shop around for a great rate. These are the key documents that must get signed at closing: With modern technology, closing often takes place partially or completely online, though, some states still don’t allow remote online notarization.

It's even worse if a Team Family member has an Ink Storm special. It makes me wonder what the hell was going on in Team Family's intrafamilial relationships if they had literal golden showers roaming around on the Team Family side. Team Friends had white-ink showers, while Team Family had gold-ink showers. Exclusive to Team Family.Įach Shifty Station had two of these ink-shower robots (called Flooders) per team that roamed around. Splatoon gameplay isn't supposed to be that simple-standard rotation maps have multiple pathways to get around, while this Shifty Station was very constrained in terms of options.Įven worse than the design, however, were the GOLDEN SHOWERS. Each Shifty Station is different between Splatfests (unless Marina is lazy), and they have a gimmick.) If your team took the centre early on in the match, you basically are ensured a victory until the end. (For those who aren't aware, a Shifty Station is a map unique to that particular Splatfest occasion that doesn't appear at any other time. While white-coloured ink was a clear advantage for Team Friends and I'm attributing their win to that, there was something possibly more insidious than the white ink. Punish players for not exploring the Options menu. White and blame people for not taking advantage of that feature. You could turn Colour Lock on (intended for colour-blind people) to make the colours Purple vs. And quite frankly, even with experience, the contrast differences are still a disadvantage, even if slight. They don't have the experience required to become very familiar with map layouts. Maybe they're using the free seven-day (or longer) trial of Nintendo Switch Online. Lots of people just got a Nintendo Switch and/or Splatoon 2 for the first time. You could argue that since the uninkable parts of the map are the same every time you play it and we should just get good at the game, I'd remind you that this was a holiday Splatfest taking place right after Squidmas. Team Friends where gold is the colour on the map that stands out the most. That's a clear disadvantage in terms of situational awareness for Team Family, vs. You have a team to support! And in that short time span, the light grey and white are basically indistinguishable. You can't afford to stare at it for too long at a time. But in the heat of a Turf War, you have to be able to toggle the map on and off for half a second. Sure, if you stare at the screenshot above for long enough, you'll be able to clearly identify which areas are uninkable terrain and which are opponents. Here's the problem where Team Friends has a natural advantage: On the map, white and light grey don't have enough contrast from one another. Where is the player needed to help the team? Where are the enemies? Can you spot the opponents based on the direction of their ink? Is it safe to Super Jump? Players should be using the map on a regular basis for situational awareness. No one should try inking on areas shaded in light grey, because they will be wasting time and ink. A Team Friends member will want to go for areas coloured dark grey in the early game, and gold in the late game. That means a Team Family member will want to go for areas coloured dark grey in the early game, and white in the late game. And, of course, if turf is inked, then it'll be in your team colour. Map obstacles are presented in a very light grey colour - these are structures that cannot be inked on, but many are traversable by players’ characters. On the map screen, turf that isn't inked by anyone is a dark grey. Allow me to explain the built-in advantage that Team Friend had over Team Family because of the ink colour differences.įirst, take a look at how the player-toggleable map looks during a Team Family vs. What were the factors that caused Team Family to lose to Team Friend? Fundamentally, I think it's the ink colours. Can now confirm through personal experience that it's not a Fortnite battle royale, though! That said, I had my first ever 100x battle and lost it. I got to Fam King solely by playing Splatfest Battle Normal and stopped, but I know that I was above average within Team Family. So Team Friend unfortunately won the Splatfest. Team Family (here as Team “Fam”) won Popularity, and lost the actual Turf War matches to Team Friend. Click that Splatfest hyperlink to see that I was steadfastly on Team Family, and why I made that decision. This article is about the results of that Splatfest, as well as the actual Splatfest gameplay itself. T he first weekend of 2019 featured two things: KoopaTV's staff deliberating over the Game of THAT Year 2018 nominees (moreso the KoopaTV article awards than the games), and the Family vs. Occasionally, the separation may cause a retinal tear or retinal detachment. This can result in symptoms of floaters and flashing lights. As one gets older, the vitreous turns to liquid and separates from the back wall of the eye, called posterior vitreous detachment. The vitreous is a jelly-like substance that fills the middle part of the eye. You can rest assured that our experienced, sub-specialty trained physicians provide compassionate, personalized care for a full range of retina conditions such as macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. The most common conditions that affect the macula include age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema, epiretinal membrane, among others. We know that anything affecting your sight can be scary. It allows us to read, drive, and recognize faces. The retina specialists at OHSU Casey Eye Institute treat a broad spectrum of sight-threatening. The macula is a special area in the center of the retina that is responsible for the best central vision. Merina Thomas is a retina specialist at Casey Eye Institute. The retina processes the light, and then sends a signal through the optic nerve, which is similar to a wire that connects the eye to your brain. It is a thin membrane-like structure that lines the inside of the eye. The light is then absorbed by the retina, which is similar to the film of a camera. The front of the eye consists of the cornea and lens which focus light into the eye, which is similar to the lens of a camera. The structure of the eye is similar to that of a camera. A retina specialist is a medical doctor and surgeon (MD), who has completed an extensive training program after medical school to diagnose and treat the full range of diseases that affect the retina, macula, and vitreous. A retina specialist is a medical doctor who has specialized in ophthalmology (the treatment of eye disorders), then further specialized in diseases of the retina and vitreous body. |
