But he says he is concerned about giant private corporations having unilateral power to shape Internet speech - whether takedown decisions are being made by Twitter’s trust & safety lead or Amazon Web Services (which recently yanked the plug on right-wing social network Parler for failing to moderate violent views). Kobeissi also takes that view, while adding the caveat that he’s not “personally” concerned about Trump’s deplatforming. Interest in the space has been rekindled in recent weeks after mainstream platforms like Facebook and Twitter took decisions to shut down US president Donald Trump’s access to their megaphones - a demonstration of private power that other political leaders have described as problematic. Extant examples include ActivityPub, Diaspora, Mastodon, p2p Matrix, Scuttlebutt, Solid and Urbit, to name a few. The list of decentralized/p2p/federated protocols and standards already out there is very long - even while usage remains low. Completely insane.”Ĭapsule is just the latest contender for retooling Internet power structures by building infrastructure that radically decentralizes social platforms to make speech more resilient to corporate censorship and control. “But by the end of the day - last Sunday, eight days ago - I was running a Delaware corporation valued at $10M with $100k in pre-seed funding, which is insane. ![]() I’ve been running a business based on consulting and based on academic R&D services,” he continues. Instead the tweet “just completely exploded” and he found himself raising $100k “in a single day” - with $50k paid in there and then. “I posted that tweet and the expectation that I had was that basically 60 people max would retweet it and then maybe I’ll set up a Kickstarter,” he tells us. But Kobeissi says he was startled by the level of interest in the concept. The nascent startup has a post-money valuation on paper of $10M, according to Kobeissi, who is working on the prototype - hoping to launch an MVP of Capsule in March (as a web app), after which he intends to raise a seed round (targeting $1M-$1.5M) to build out a team and start developing mobile apps.įor now there’s nothing to see beyond Capsule’s landing page and a pitch deck (which he shared with TechCrunch for review).

![]() There is also a bestiary that lets you cycle back through all of the mobs you’ve encountered. I mean it’s so simple there were things I wished for – like the names of the enemies being displayed – but then I remember that this is also showing on a tiny little Switch screen and not always on my big screen TV. What’s so great about this game on Switch is the simplicity of the interface. As your toons ding, they get more expensive to rez. I figured out eventually that I could just resurrect my characters by first clicking the action menu (with the A button on the Joycon) and then clicking down to my desired character. There are actual fail states, and you do have to work your way through some of the problems and the penalties for failing, but they’re fair penalties. These may include a goth girl or a surfer dude who can be a human, dwarf or elf, and play all the standards: paladins, mages – even a ninja – or other classes unlocked from the in-game monthly enthusiast’s magazines. Once you get to Big Town, there is a tavern where you can bank or swap out characters from your party. Though you begin with only one character, you can eventually buy a full slate, and more options unlock. The chance encounters that you may face due to the RNG between locations are also moderate but always intriguing. It’s great that the local dungeon is procedurally-generated, adding some real interest to a game that might otherwise feel a little bit on rails. You can manage aggro (called “Threat”) and use modifiers to change attack order via spells, loot and talents. But as the hours quickly burned away, I became quite immersed with – or re-triggered my addiction to – the many gameplay features on offer: you can deploy trinkets and weapons to each of your characters and decide which of their special skills to level up (skill trees would be even cooler). ![]() I mean…there is a location actually called The Grinding Farm, for heaven’s sake! Even though it’s tongue-in-cheek, it is actually true when playing the game.Īt first, I surmised this was not much more than a clicker, with inside jokes for World of Warcraft ex-pats. The game, like many RPGs when you’re getting started, can become quite grindy. Your friend is a dungeon master sitting across from you, sharing witticisms back and forth as your party encounters various enemies and you move from location to location along a map to fulfill quests towards a greater good and higher destiny.Īnother name for this game might be “ Mystery Science Theater 3000 Presents: Grinding Simulator with Bits of Connecting Plot in Between.”īut that doesn’t matter, because it is funny and far more enjoyable than the description might imply. You are a normal person from the world of Muggles, sitting at a table playing good old Dungeon and Dragons (all of these proper nouns are my own and not mentioned in the game). Knights of Pen and Paper 2 is a delightful turn-based RPG sequel clearly made by gamers for gamers. They can be equipped just like normal items.Knights of Pen and Paper 2: Deluxiest Edition by Seaven Studio The following items are dropped in battle and are sometimes used for quest items. This is not a complete list, and items will be added as they are discovered. The following items are not available for purchase, only dropped by enemies. In order to increase the chances of encountering that shop, it is advised to equip team members with luck amulets. The chances of this shop appearing are very rare though. ↑ Is this missing the suffix for the magic resist, or is "Mail Shoulder" a special base? (Or, unlikely, is this just "Shoulder" with two prefixes, "Healthy" and "Mail" making the item 14 levels higher than what it is advertised as at the shop?)Ī hidden shop run by the strange guy can be found in Dungeons upon a treasure roll (19-20 dice roll).When obtaining an item with "Random magic properties", it will come with up to a prefix and a suffix, each providing a permanent property to the item. There is no apparent restriction on wearing duplicate items or items of the same type.Each character can equip up to 4 items.Gear can be purchased from the Enchanter, dropped in battle, or rewarded from a quest.These items are available for purchase, but can also be dropped in battle, or rewarded from a quest.

I want to keep the condiments pure and delicious, though. That’s one of the key successes of Italian Sausage (a secret of the carnies.). I could offer a choice between corn and flour tortillas, maybe? And the traditional fajita recipe is good, thanks for the info… I want to keep it simple, seems like the best of everything is simple.īut as a street vendor, the onions and peppers are an advantage because of the perfume. But I swear she says fajitas are specifically made with skirt steak. Unfortunately, I don’t have the cookbook at hand so I could quote. Onions and peppers are not necessary to fajitas, but they are generally served with flour tortillas. Well, to add further confusion to the issue, from what I remember of Zarela Martinez’s first cookbook, she states that fajitas are specifically made with skirt steak marinaded in lime juice and perhaps garlic and grilled. Carne asada at my grandmother’s house was always served with tortillas on the side. ![]() I’ve also kicked about tacos al pastor, but they are pork, and I feel I’d have better success offering beef and chicken “fajitas” in my local market.Īnother couple of differences: Fajitas are generally served with flour tortillas anything called tacos is served in corn tortillas. I’m trying to think out the product and condiments and am wondering what would make for the best tacos al carbon and maybe get some ideas as to product costs and and some good recipes. Everybody knows what fajitas are around here and they are really quite popular, hence my business model. I’m thinking of genuine, mexican, street style, tacos al carbon, but nobody really knows what that is in the Midwest, so I’d probably have to call them fajitas as part of a good marketing strategy. But personally, I think a good taco stand could be more viable and even become a highly sucessful and sought out lunchtime icon if I handle it properly, and of course, sell a quality and authentic taco al carbon. The usual and overdone item here is, of course, the ubiquitous hot dog. The reason I ask and am interested in all of this is because I occasionally muse and think over ideas for starting a vending cart business. Hope that helps a little, there are tons of recipes online with numerous variations. Grill the meat with a little black pepper and cumin over coals, chop it up, serve with chopped white onion and cilantro in a double layer of soft, warm corn tortillas, a squirt of lime and perhaps some salsa verde.Īlso for the traditionalist no cheddar cheese, no lettuce, no hard shells, no sour cream. you might get beans added to the mix in the north or in the mountains, but tropical salsas at the coast. Traditional condiments also depend on region. could be cumin, could be chilies, lime, garlic, could be as simple as salt and pepper. Your basic seasoning changes from region to region. so if you ask for carne asada you are not neccissarily going to get tacos.Īl carbon is specifically over flame/coals. this then can be chopped up and put into tacos. This is done either over flame, in a hot skillet or on a grill. Typically fajitas are larger strips of steak grilled up with onions and peppers.Ĭarne Asada is just grilled steak, usually skirt steak, also known as arrachera. ![]() ![]() ![]() But don't bother playing at Tier 10, cause it's full of premium ships (coal, steel, research bureau), and superships that outperform tech tree ships, and have gimmicks in them that makes it impossible to play against unless you have understanding of what they do, or what their gimmicks are. On the topic of tech tree lines, most of them are absolutely terrible now cause of power creep and it only gets better at Tier 10. Cause the shiny new ship can't possibly be worse than the old ones. WHY? These new tech tree lines are monetized behind early access and battle pass, and usually power creeps older ships to make it more appealing to customers.

Prenatal vitamins are FSA/HSA eligible because they help prevent birth defects and support fetal development, while glucosamine/chondroitin supplements also qualify as an eligible expense to treat joint conditions such as arthritis, which is a specific medical condition. However, there are two types of vitamins/supplements that qualify as an eligible expense with consumer-directed healthcare accounts due to their role in treating medical conditions: prenatal vitamins and glucosamine/chondroitin supplements. With this IRS definition in mind, daily multivitamins and most dietary supplements are currently not FSA/HSA eligible. What vitamins and nutritional supplements are FSA/HSA eligible? Therefore, it does not meet the IRS definition of a qualified medical expense for this purpose. While this seems straightforward, vitamins are a prime example of a product that can be used for "general health" and is therefore "dual purpose." This means that while the product/service may have a medical use, it is used primarily to promote one's general health and does not treat a specific medical condition.

In the Fourth Age, mortal races fought and competed until human mages discovered how to create runestones. The God Wars ended when the Forinthry region was destroyed by the fighting, rendering it as the inhospitable Wilderness, and in turn awakening Guthix Whom, angered by the conflict, banished all the other Gods from Gielinor. This act provoked the Third Age - the Cataclysmic God Wars, in which all the gods of Gielinor waged war on each other. The mortal Zamorak apotheosised into the god of chaos after slaying the god Zaros. In the Second Age, Guthix went into slumber, and many other gods established power on Gielinor. Guthix, the god of balance, shaped Gielinor in the First Age. Gielinor's basic history is told in five Ages. It is divided into kingdoms and is inhabited by humans, vampyres, elves, monkeys, dwarves, fairies, gnomes, goblins, trolls, ogres and other races. Old School RuneScape largely takes place in the fictional realm of Gielinor, a planet filled with multiple environments and climates. The game features several variations of the normal Ironman mode, including an "Ultimate Ironman Mode" that cannot use the in-game banks and a "Hardcore Ironman Mode" that turns into a normal Ironman account after dying for the first time. ![]() Although these accounts can still use all the game's chat features, the game mode is often touted as a "single-player" experience due to the necessity of solo exploration of the game world for progression. First introduced in October 2014, this is often considered one of the most difficult ways to play the game, as many late-game items only come from high level bosses and have a small chance of being obtained. ![]() Ironman mode players cannot take items that other players have dropped or sold to stores, or pick up items dropped by players killed in PvP situations. Old School RuneScape also offers an "Ironman" game mode, where players are completely barred from economic interaction with other players, and they must be self-sufficient. Players can together defeat new powerful enemies in raids such as the Chambers of Xeric and the Theatre of Blood. Players can obtain one-off pets that follow them around the game world. Content exclusive to Old School RuneScape has been added too including new areas such as Fossil Island and Great Kourend, minigames such as The Inferno, quests such as Dragon Slayer 2 and Song of the Elves, and bosses such as the Nightmare of Ashihama. Post-release features įeatures that were not released on RuneScape until after 2007 have since been released to Old School RuneScape such as the God Wars Dungeon and the Soul Wars minigame. The game runs on a tick-based system where the game state refreshes every 600 milliseconds. The input mechanics are mainly point-and-click. The artisan skills include skills such as cooking, crafting, and smithing. The gathering skills, such as mining, fishing, and woodcutting allow the player to gather in game resources. Combat skills aid the player in defeating enemy monsters or other players, with skills such as strength, range, and magic, among others. There is a large selection of skills, grouped mainly between three different categories: combat, gathering, and artisan. Users can gain experience points (exp.) and level up individual skills, making their playable character more powerful or more capable of using that skill. The player controls a single (human) character and can interact with NPCs, objects, and entities in the game world by left-clicking, or selecting an option from the object's right-click menu, since many objects can offer more than one interaction option. The basic mechanics are largely the same as RuneScape on 10 August 2007. It features a persistent world in which players can interact with each other and the environment.
