Mirage was part of Desert X art festival, an outdoor exhibition of art. 1225 Chainlink appears as a joyfully bright yellow mirage within a desert expanse, revealing scale and material only after a long walk from the. Note: Desert X 2017 is permanently closed. Mirage distills the recognisable and repetitious suburban home into the essence. This year’s Desert X, a biennial spread across California’s Coachella Valley, adds to those mythologies but seeks to do so in a way which doesn’t romanticise or patronise. Utilizing the form of a ranch-style suburban American house, the sculpture is. For more information please visit: Īdditional generous support provided by 303 Gallery. MIRAGE is a site-specific installation set in the Southern California desert. Desert X installation view of Ghada Amer, Women’s Qualities. As Mirage pulls the landscape in and reflects it back out, this classic one-story suburban house becomes a framing device, a perceptual echo-chamber endlessly bouncing between the dream of nature as pure uninhabited state and the pursuit of its conquest. ![]() With every available surface clad in mirror it both absorbs and reflects the landscape around in such ways that the exterior will seemingly disappear just as the interior draws the viewer into a never-ending kaleidoscope of light and reflection. The ranch-style structure suggests a latter-day architectural version of manifest destiny, a primary structure rendered by the artist without function service or texture. In the tradition of land-art as a reflection of the dreams and aspirations projected onto the America West, Mirage presents a continually changing encounter in which subject and object, inside and outside are in constant flux.

![]() You will want to ask him, flat out, how he feels about her since he’s talking about her so much. Yes, there is a possibility that he may want his ex back if you’ve not been dating or seeing each other long. Of course, in the event that you’ve not been together very long and he’s already talking your ear off about his ex, it may still be fresh. You may want to ask him what the deal is if this happens. This would cause him to talk about her a lot and in a pleasant way around you. So there are various ways that he could have recently talked to his ex thus refreshing his thoughts and possibly feelings he had for her. Why would he be on a dating site? He shouldn’t be but Gemini men can be sneaky sometimes. Perhaps she sent him a friend request on one of the various social media or dating site. Then there is the possibility of email or social media connection. He may have run into her somewhere if she lives in the same town or is traveling through. If you two have been together for a long time and he starts talking about her a lot out of nowhere, there may be a reason for that. Just know that he’s open to talking about his ex or ex’s but he’s probably not going to tell you really intensely personal things because it’s not necessary and it could cause you to become upset. If his ex was the one that was the problem, he wouldn’t want you to know that either really because he may have already forgiven her for what happened and you’d probably see right through it. He may give a very generic reason for why they parted ways because he wouldn’t want you to think lesser of him if he was the one that caused the problem to occur. ![]() The problem is, it may just be a bunch of fluff because he doesn’t want you to know the truth about how he felt about her, what really happened, and what is the real reason they’re not together now. Though he’ll probably play it up and make it seem as though you’re better with him than she ever was. This means that whoever he was closest to, you’ll probably figure it out. Everyone talks about their ex’s and so this is something that is very healthy. ![]() It doesn’t mean he’s going to go into detail about it but he will disclose pertinent information where it may be warranted. If he’s comfortable, he doesn’t feel the need to hold in anything about his past. With the Gemini guy, he will not have any troubles opening up to his current partner about his ex. Is your Gemini man in contact with his ex wife or girlfriend and you’re trying to figure out if he still has feelings for her? Do you wonder if he may break it off with you and go back to her? So, is your Gemini man still in love with his ex? Here are some things you should keep in mind when trying to piece together the puzzle. ![]()
Shield Master was the 'Feat' that sparked my imagination and though the comments are all valid it is the Characters signature move to such an extent in the original build I had envisioned taking Tavern Brawler so he could use the shield as an improvised weapon. On the Fighting Style, the argument for Duelling over Protection are good ones and aside from the flavour of the Character Duelling is undoubtedly better. I had told them before that session if they didn't start defending me, I'd start defending myself. My party got unhappy with me that fight because I immediately dropped my conc buffs and dropped a globe of darkness on myself to disengage, and I left the dragon sorc to eat it for a change. My melees in that campaign, let me down OFTEN. I was.less than pleased.because she said she was good 2-3 times before he finally talked her into moving. The DM talked her into re-positioning himself so that he could rush me and the dragon sorc with some other characters. The last session we played in the game with the charger tank, I was using our paladin as a meat shield. That's one reason why I despise charger so much, it takes away from my ability to play angles and gives the enemy easier lines to get to me. I'm going to be standing back farther and trying to make sure that monsters have to go THROUGH my melees (and provoke OA) to get to me. As a squishy player, I prefer to not be attacked than to be attacked with disadvantage. If the squishy is within 5 ft, the monster can simply step around without leaving a threatened square, and therefore not provoking. Personally, I like to keep the ranged guys on their toes and not just standing in one place for the entire fight. Protection is handy when the enemies break through to the back ranks, but how often that happens can vary table to table. Protection works best imo when you're teamed up with another melee who wants to deploy as far forward as you do. Protection is nice at first glance, but if you're not standing within 5 feet of your squishies (as a squishy ranged player, I can assure you I avoid being within 5ft of my front liners) it's not going to help you much. Give him a reason to respect your authority, otherwise he'll walk around you and gut your casters. I'd probably take duelling first you will use it's benefits regularly, and you do not want your DM to ignore your attacks because they don't hurt enough. I'd probably not take charger for a lot of reasons, not the least of which my divine sorc is /constantly/ hung out to dry by a charger fighter who will not stand in between me and the bad guys. I'd worry about getting my stats to 20 before I took sentinel (which is fantastic). I'd take PAM at first level, and probably not shield master at all. If you're hunting big monsters? A polearm with Reach and Sentinel can probably be a life-saver. It's a tricky one because yes you're able to stop one creature from getting past with the Sentinel feat, but anything else might break through if the DM enjoys using swarms in their encounters. You might be better off with a Reach weapon so you can control more of the area around you in a 10ft radius rather than 5ft since it can be easily bypassed. There is a UA feat that perks it up from a d6 to a d8 including some adding benefit of taking a stance that if an enemy closes in, you have a free attack to hit them. The spear itself can be a bit of an iffy one. Even if an enemy makes it past you or maybe you're incapable of stopping a creature from moving towards a ranged ally you can at least use a reaction to put disadvantage on the attack roll using Protection.ĮDIT: Noting that you have to spend your reaction to either hit (or miss) a foe and stop them dead in their tracks because of Sentinel and not even allow them reaching your bros, I think going without shield might be even less viable than I thought. ![]() ![]() I personally think keeping the shield is a good idea. ![]() Firstly I recommend popping this in to the fighter forum unless a moderator doesn't mind leaving it in this category. Monstrous Compendium Vol 3: Minecraft Creatures ![]() They were more popular than compact cassettes through the late 60s, partially due to their inclusion in some factory automotive stereo systems. In the mid '60s, blank and pre-recorded cassettes came to market.Īround the same time, early versions of 8-track tape cartridges were released, composed of a single reel of magnetic tape. In the late '50s, the RCA Victor produced the first tape cartridge, but magnetic tape-based cassettes were not popular until Phillips developed a version using narrower tape in a smaller form factor, known as Compact Cassette. Current albums and reissues both go for hundreds of dollars. The entry level, even for new releases on ¼-inch tape, is steep. Although the format is mostly obsolete, partially because loading and storing media is less than convenient, the resale market for vintage units is healthy, and some boutique companies offer brand new R2R players. Reel to Reel Tape PlayersĪround the 1960s, audiophiles began adding reel to reel players to their home systems. Keep in mind that vintage machines will require regular maintenance. Some examples of open-reel tape recorders that can be found at reasonable prices include the Akai models and the Sony TC line. And the earliest samples were created by building tape loops. Many effects heard on classic albums, such as those by The Beatles and Slowdive, were created by physically manipulating tape. ![]() The image of a reel to reel recorder has become synonymous with the studio: two large metal circles rotating near the top corners of a large rectangle.Īlthough never really popular with consumers, collectors and producers still value these devices for their warmth, flexibility, and nostalgia. Engineers capture sound on analog tape using reel to reel recorders. Reel to Reel Recordersįor decades, tape was the standard medium for recording anything. Open reel tape has been produced at various sizes and speeds, as well as digital formats before solid state drives became more practical. Many musicians still record to analog tape, and even mainstream artists are again releasing music on cassettes. The optional LA-322 kit adds balanced ports to the 322.Tape Decks/Reel to Reel Players For Sale on ReverbĪlthough magnetic tape technology is decades old, it’s never gone away. The 322 also offers Return To Zero function for easier cueing, ☑0% pitch control to make changes in speed, headphone output with level control, and a wired remote as standard. This makes it easy for creating dual masters, or saving inputs on a mixer. If the situation calls for a common I/O structure, you can switch it easily on the front panel. This is perfect for recording a meeting and playing audio sources back, or playing music from tape and recording a performance on top of it. The 322can be set up so that one deck plays a tape while the other records an external source. Like the 302, the 322 offers independent audio input and output for each well, allowing total control over each deck. This is ideal for board rooms, lecture halls, or advanced home theater systems, and more. This makes the 322 the ideal machine for logging or long-form recording.Īn RS-232 port on the back of the 322 allows serial control of the deck from the various control systems on the market. This minimizes the amount of time lost when switching sides, since the deck won’t have to pass through the leader to the end of the reel, then back to the recordable tape again. When the tape approaches the leader tape from the cassette, it will immediately flip the tape. The 322 transports use an optical sensor for detecting leader on tapes. The result is a deck that fits into a wide variety of applications, from music studios, boardrooms, house of worship, live venues, and more. The 322 deck was built on Tascam’s existing technology, adding features that contractors have specifically requested.

Pocket Mirror is a Horror game created in RPGMaker VX ACE. The following features are included: Have time change based on the number of steps the player takes. # Transfer to outside event SET WEATHER EFFECT: None frames, wait CALL COMMON EVENT: Weather effect TRANSFER PLAYER:, (X, Y), Retain facing # The above event-code would need to be altered with actual values for where you're teleporting to. This plugin allows you to easily add a day/night cycle to your game. The event-code might look something like. Perhaps, as a test, you'd only set four: one for each basic weather type, setting the intensity value to, I dunno, 3, when it's relevant. So, how much you want to vary your weather effects will determine how many Conditional Branches you're going to have to make. The Weather Effect event-command, itself, has four basic weather types that it can animate, None, Rain, Storm, Snow, with the latter three allowing degrees of power/intensity. For starters, I would probably only set the weather variable once per in-game day. As for the actual Common Event to determine the weather effect, that can vary greatly. Let the Common Event dictate if there is a weather effect on the map. As I may have mentioned before, whenever you set up an event that does a map transition, you place a "Weather Effect - none: 0 frames" event-command, then use the Transfer Player event-command. If you're talking about re-applying the weather effect after going back outdoors, though, that shouldn't bee that much of a problem? Like, the thought in my head is to switch off the weather effect with each map transition. Maybe with scripting, but, I personally wouldn't feel it's worth messing with. At least, not within the context of typical event-commands. Well, I don't know if you can continue a weather effect animation at the express moment it stopped. |
