![]() If you’ve never played a deckbuilder before, well, I’ll walk you through it anyways. And more fight! More combat! Yes! It’s a deckbuilder, so, you’re going to do deckbuildy things. So I know the wise thing to do is to talk about how Hardback is just Star Realms but as a word game, but, yeah, Star Realms is just Hardback without any of the word game parts. You should be all ready to go! First player draws 3 cards from their shuffled Starting Deck second player draws 5. Will you be able to conquer this final frontier? Or will you just end up getting reduced to space dust?Īlso, set the Explorers face-up in a pile near the Trade Row: Either way, someone’s got to come out of this victorious, and you figure it might as well be you, so leverage new weapons, new bases, and new abilities to take the fight to your foes. It’s like y’all subscribe to the same newsletters, or something. Naturally, your authority only goes so far, so other civilizations have made it there, too, hoping to gain fortune and supremacy, same as you. It’s wide open, unexplored, and still constantly expanding. In Star Realms: Frontiers, you’ve made it to the edge of the galaxy. Second deckbuilder on my plate is Star Realms: Frontiers, so, here we go! ![]() Promenade, a artsy deckbuilder, dropped on the 8th, Star Realms: Frontiers this week, Hero Realms the next week, and I suppose the Hero Realms Campaign Deck the week after? That’s an exciting theme that happened to come out of nowhere, so, sure, let’s do what we can to make it happen. I think I’m going to try for a “Realms” microtheme this month (or deckbuilding, I suppose?). More for certain scenarios.įull disclosure: A review copy of Star Realms: Frontiers was provided by White Wizard Games.

![]() We also appreciated the stability of these shoes and how they supported our feet and ankles. The insert can act as a kind of booster for your arches, if you need it. The Orthofeet Coral Stretch Knit shoe is about as close to a custom sneaker as you can buy, thanks to the inserts that allowed us to customize the fit. There is a chance that the extra insert could cause the shoe to fit differently. Materials: Knit upper, EVA midsole, rubber outsole.The only downside with this shoe is the fact that the color options are so limited, so there are limited opportunities to express yourself. We were able to enjoy the class with no plantar fasciitis pain to spoil the fun. The toe box also is roomy, providing just enough space for our toes.īut what really impressed us about these shoes is the stability they afforded us-in fact they were so supportive and stable that we even tested them out at a Zumba class and they allowed us to get our groove on-no stumbling, pain, or catching on different surfaces. We especially appreciate that the heels of the shoe are slightly elevated, while the grip on the back of the shoe keeps your foot stable.Įven more importantly, the arches on these shoes molded to our feet and did not cause any cramping that can sometimes occur in shoes designed for plantar fasciitis. Not only did they fit perfectly, but they also are extremely light and comfortable, without causing any chafing or blisters. From the moment we put these sneakers on to test them, we fell in love with them. Having a solid set of sneakers is key to be able to enjoy everyday life with plantar fasciitis. A podiatrist from our Medical Expert Board also reviewed the content in this article surrounding plantar fasciitis and selecting shoes to help with plantar fasciitis pain. We also sought input from several podiatrists and foot ankle specialists to determine what makes a good shoe for plantar fasciitis. To come up with this comprehensive list, we evaluated 21 different shoes based on their fit, stability, responsiveness, cushioning, comfort, quality, and value. They might even help prevent plantar fasciitis from developing in the first place. The best shoes for plantar fasciitis not only reduce your heel pain, but provide enough cushioning so you can heal. To do that, you need shoes that offer a firm sole, adequate cushioning, appropriate arch support, and are comfortable enough to wear on a consistent basis. ASICS Gel-Venture 9 are 2 0% off on ZapposĪnd though there are a number of different causes for this overuse injury of the thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of your foot-such as a change in weight, activity, or footwear-you want to be sure your shoes allow you to heal instead of making the condition worse. ![]() ![]() Next, we’re going to start enabling the ‘ligatures’ feature. You may also be wondering, if kerning is so magical and important for pretty words, and if the whole point of a word processor is to assemble pretty words into functional documents, why on earth would Microsoft keep this option turned off by default? Yeah. (Kerning = love!) When a font is properly kerned, your words will look amazing – so make sure you’ve got that button checked. There are literally thousands of combinations that must be set by hand, and if you’re making a hand-drawn font, this process can take months to complete. Font designers spend a ridiculous amount of time going through every possible combination of characters in the font to make sure that your words look balanced and beautiful, and are easy to read. You may be wondering, what the heck is kerning? Very simply, it’s the spacing between two specific letters. If you set this number to 12, kerning will not be applied to words that are point size 11 or smaller. This means kerning will be applied anytime you’re using a point size of 8 or above. Set the number in the box next door to the smallest number possible (usually 8). This is where the Opentype magic happens! The first thing you should do is set your character scale to 100%, and make sure that the ‘Kerning for fonts:’ button is checked. This is exactly how the letters will appear in your document. Notice that the preview window at the bottom of this dialogue box is ‘live’ – the name of the font will grow or shrink based on the letter size you select. We’ll leave the rest of the options set to default/blank. ![]() Choose the style you prefer (Ondise looks best as ‘regular’) and the letter size. In this example, we’ll select the font, Ondise. First, we’ll make sure our ‘Font’ settings are correct. This will pull up a dialogue box with two tabs, ‘Font’ and ‘Advanced’. On the main menu, click the ‘Format’ option and select ‘Font’ from the drop-down menu. The menus and options look similar in newer versions, but you can always refer to Microsoft Office’s support page for instructions specific to your software.) (In this tutorial, I am using Word 2011 for Mac. Once that’s done, simply open up the program and start a blank document. Microsoft started offering fancy Opentype feature support in Word 2010, so if you’re using an earlier copy, you’ll need to upgrade. So, how do we start switching these cool features on? The first step is to make sure you’re running up-to-date software. And that’s a shame, because almost every Opentype font has this cool code stuff built right in. So they hide these buttons deep inside advanced option menus, or worse still, pretend like fancy font code doesn’t exist. Talk about power, right? For whatever reason, though, some programs **cough cough, Microsoft Word** assume that you would rather not take over the world with swashed and flourished documents. The complicated swapping happens behind the scenes all you have to do is click a few buttons and your program will take care of the rest. ![]() You see, font designers don’t just create letters – they actually program those letters to respond to your commands. Basically, this code takes a standard alphabet and makes it do amazing things for you! What are Opentype features and why should you care about them? Well, these are little bits of code (sometimes big bits!) that tell your software to do certain actions like inserting swashes, substituting alternate letters, and enabling connected letter pairs called ‘ligatures’. Today, we’re talking shop, Microsoft Word style! Specifically, how to turn Opentype features on & off within the advanced menu options.

![]() Cisco is expected to combine Splunk’s SIEM technology-used by security teams to monitor for signs of a cyberattack-with the recently unveiled Cisco XDR platform, which would be a powerful combination, partners said. Partners have applauded the Cisco-Splunk deal, saying it should open up major new cybersecurity opportunities for the channel. It’s by far the largest acquisition deal in the networking giant’s nearly four decades in business, as well as one of largest software M&A deals ever.Ĭisco has been working aggressively to build out what it calls its “ Security Cloud,” a unified platform for modern security spanning a number of pivotal areas of cyber defense. The layoffs come about five weeks after Cisco announced its $28 billion agreement to acquire Splunk, driven in large part by Splunk’s strong position in key cybersecurity segments including SIEM (security information and event management). “We expect the macro environment will continue to be unpredictable for the foreseeable future,” he added. 1, Steele also attributed the latest cutbacks to “overall market” conditions, which he said have “retracted.” In February, Splunk announced it was laying off about 4 percent of its workforce, or 325 employees, primarily in North America. Instead, the layoffs are “the continuation of the important initiatives we’ve undertaken across Splunk for more than a year to align our resources and operating structure,” Steele said in the letter. “The changes we are announcing are not a result of our agreement with Cisco,” Splunk CEO Gary Steele wrote in a letter to employees Wednesday, which was included in a filing with the U.S. The CEO of the cybersecurity and observability vendor said the cuts are not related to Cisco’s pending acquisition of the company. ![]() 1, after a prior round of layoffs that impacted 325 workers at Splunk. While Splunk did not disclose the total number of impacted employees, the estimate is based on the company’s head count of 7,675 as of Feb. The new round of job cuts will impact an estimated 537 employees at San Francisco-based Splunk. The cuts affect U.S.-based employees as well as workers in the Americas, the company said. Splunk disclosed layoffs impacting 7 percent of staff amid its plans to be acquired by Cisco Systems for $28 billion. ![]() I like the clean interface and ease of adjusting tools. ![]() My art is mostly pen & ink and watercolor and I use this app for the initial drawings out outlines, which I then transfer to paper for completion. If I wasn’t reliant on the iOS version I might feel differently about the Windows version, although it still does most of what I need to do. That’s probably my biggest complaint-because the Windows and iOS versions function differently in some ways it can be confusing. It has a lot of functionality and works well but is very lacking in documentation across platforms. The larger display on my Windows and the difference in the way some of the tools function makes a few things easier to do on this Windows version.īased on my experience with both platforms I’m guessing this app is done by a small team. I haven’t experienced any of the disappearing images or projects, as reported by other users, but the vast majority of my projects have been transferred from iOS and those transfers work fine-even with projects with numerous layers. ![]() I typically use this Windows version to tweak a drawing or perform some other function that can’t be done in iOS. I have a 12.9” iPad Pro and find the app does almost everything I need. I have switched to Tayasui Sketches for all my artwork in iOS. If, like me, you are inquisitive and/or enjoy experimenting with technology then it may be the case that you'd like to dabble with alternative operating systems every once in a while.I may be wrong but it feels like this app was written after the iOS version and it works very well in that light.
