I should probably list the actual thought process. I know how it can be a bit of a pain to add entirely new features to an already very detailed game, and a solution to my particular problem sure does exist - that is, tower-blocking - but it never hurts to share. I should probably clarify that I'm not demanding anything. "hold shift when setting target priority" should add some more options to make towers more versatile. That's pretty important stuff if you wanna be grinding mana. Structures Only makes more sense because the metagame of SuperGems of rank forty or greater depends on traps, and enemies not travelling means wasted mana. Giants/Swarmlings ONLY doesn't seem reasonable, because that's wasted DPS. Nearest to Orb can modify to Furthest From Orb, The giants and swarmlings could be modified to SOMETHING, exactly what I do not know. The truth of the matter is I only want one particular feature (and that's Structures Only it's better than filling the map with empty towers) but the chance to add a little extra function to other aspects of priority targets in the game might improve some of the metagame aspects. "Random" may have a modifier called "Specific Targets" and will only react when a target is selected. "Structure" would ideally have a modifier called "Structures Only" intended to target structures and only structures, even if an enemy/monster enters its kill radius. This is an idea thread basically, it'd be really nice if we could hold shift on a few of these options. Structure, nearest to orb, giants, swarmlings, so on. So, there's a set of gem target priorities that you can access by right clicking a gem and dragging in one of eight directions.

Perovskite solar cells are a type of thin-film cell and are named after their characteristic crystal structure. Both CdTe and CIGS require more protection than silicon to enable long-lasting operation outdoors. CIGS cells have optimal properties for a PV material and high efficiencies in the lab, but the complexity involved in combining four elements makes the transition from lab to manufacturing more challenging. While this makes them a cost-effective alternative, their efficiencies still aren't quite as high as silicon. Both materials can be deposited directly onto either the front or back of the module surface.ĬdTe is the second-most common PV material after silicon, and CdTe cells can be made using low-cost manufacturing processes. There are two main types of thin-film PV semiconductors on the market today: cadmium telluride (CdTe) and copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS). Thin-Film PhotovoltaicsĪ thin-film solar cell is made by depositing one or more thin layers of PV material on a supporting material such as glass, plastic, or metal. Modules are expected to last for 25 years or more, still producing more than 80% of their original power after this time. Solar cells made out of silicon currently provide a combination of high efficiency, low cost, and long lifetime. This lattice provides an organized structure that makes conversion of light into electricity more efficient. Crystalline silicon cells are made of silicon atoms connected to one another to form a crystal lattice. It is also the second most abundant material on Earth (after oxygen) and the most common semiconductor used in computer chips. Silicon is, by far, the most common semiconductor material used in solar cells, representing approximately 95% of the modules sold today. Learn more below about the most commonly-used semiconductor materials for PV cells. If the semiconductor’s bandgap matches the wavelengths of light shining on the PV cell, then that cell can efficiently make use of all the available energy. The amount of electricity produced from PV cells depends on the characteristics (such as intensity and wavelengths) of the light available and multiple performance attributes of the cell.Īn important property of PV semiconductors is the bandgap, which indicates what wavelengths of light the material can absorb and convert to electrical energy. The efficiency of a PV cell is simply the amount of electrical power coming out of the cell compared to the energy from the light shining on it, which indicates how effective the cell is at converting energy from one form to the other. This current is extracted through conductive metal contacts – the grid-like lines on a solar cells – and can then be used to power your home and the rest of the electric grid. This extra energy allows the electrons to flow through the material as an electrical current. When the semiconductor is exposed to light, it absorbs the light’s energy and transfers it to negatively charged particles in the material called electrons. There are several different semiconductor materials used in PV cells. The PV cell is composed of semiconductor material the “semi” means that it can conduct electricity better than an insulator but not as well as a good conductor like a metal. When light shines on a photovoltaic (PV) cell – also called a solar cell – that light may be reflected, absorbed, or pass right through the cell. Things felt a little weird at first when I played the side-scrolling levels, as Serena S (your character) moves a bit slow for what I thought was going to be a fast-paced shooter. It’s split up between shmup and side-scrolling shooter levels, although there’s way more of the latter than the former. Ultionus is all about blasting things in one way or another. Do you play the better person and ignore them, or do you hop right back in your ship, blast your way to their home planet, destroy every single living thing in your path until you find yourself in front of the commenter, and then deliver a single, vicious kick to the balls? I know which one I wanted to do, and Ultionus: A Tale of Petty Revenge let me do it. Well, the likes and congratulatory posts start rolling in, but then someone tells you that you should get back in the kitchen. It’s gonna be way more interesting than someone posting selfies from their vacation for the hundredth time or recipes for vegan blood pudding or something. You just beat hordes of dangerous aliens, after all. You get home, kick your feet up, and sign into your favorite social media site, making a post about it. Picture this: You’ve a laser-gun toting, spaceship-flying gal who just saved the galaxy from a powerful threat. Ultionus: A Tale of Petty Revenge is always exciting due to ever-shifting and always entertaining environments, enemies, bosses, and music. I’d love to see this particular bit improved in a remake to keep Sonic’s sense of momentum even when he passes into an entirely new time zone, but we can’t have everything now, can we?įrom a development perspective, the time travel gimmick is smart. That would have been really special, but I guess the slow loading times of the early CD format couldn’t quite handle that and you have to wait a few seconds while watching a little animation of Sonic flying through the timestream, without even a phonebox to protect him. I wish I could say it was an instant transition. Each stage has three versions, a past, present and future version that Sonic can access by passing appropriately labeled signposts and then running fast enough and long enough that he breaks through the time barrier to emerge in the alternative stage. While Sonic CD might feel like a backwards step from Sonic 2 in these respects, it feels like a giant loop forwards in others, most notably in its time travel theme. It’s almost as if the team in Japan heard about this new innovation their counterparts in the US were developing, but weren’t allowed to see it, so had to just guess how it would work. Nevertheless, this is a solo mission for Sonic, which makes the game feel distinctly closer in spirit to the original Sonic The Hedgehog than any of its sequels.įurthermore, there’s the spin dash, which is animated completely differently to the one in Sonic 2 and doesn’t feel quite as slick or responsive to use. In fact, there’s no attempt to give Sonic a partner character at all, although the cast is expanded with some neat in-level story scenes featuring new characters Amy Rose and Metal Sonic. Tails is nowhere to be seen, for example. This team not only took advantage of the CD medium to introduce new ideas, they also took the design and story in a different direction, branching off from the original game to make Sonic CD feel like an alternative sequel to the substantially more popular Sonic 2. While Yuji Naka worked on Sonic 2 over in the US with the Sega Technical Institute, an entirely separate team was back at HQ in Japan making a totally different Sonic game for Mega CD. Sonic CD seems to be made with a different philosophy, its designers taking the “CD” part of the title to heart and really taking inspiration from the new technology. I don’t think I even understood what an RPG was until Final Fantasy VII. I’d later learn that in the USA and Japan the Mega CD and PC Engine CD were graced with these huge RPGs with vast worlds and early examples of voice acting, but such luxuries rarely crossed our line of sight here in the UK. Maybe you’d get an enhanced soundtrack if you were really lucky, or grainy FMV games that were an acquired taste at best. The former was littered with ports of regular Amiga games that were rarely any different to the floppy disk versions, and Mega CD games tended to be similar variations on existing Mega Drive carts. ↑ ĐeäTh on Twitter: “(This also fixes the issue present in #SonicOrigins found the original tweet as a quote tweet.The first CD console I owned was the Amiga CD32, while a mate had a Mega CD.Frame times were better when these settings were applied with SK.

The property, dubbed Sycamore Valley Ranch, was put on the market in 2015 for $100 million after Jackson's death in 2009. The house saw millions of dollars worth of renovations and rebranding. Jackson eventually sold it to Colony Capital for $22.5 million in 2009. Some speculated his court battles took a financial toll, which led to a threatened foreclosure sale on Neverland ranch in 2008. He was reportedly shaken by the raid and later cleared of child molestation charges in 2005. That all came to an end when Jackson faced allegations of child sexual abuse and police raided the property in 2003. He constantly entertained and threw lavish parties when he lived on the Disney-like ranch - he even threw Kim Kardashian a party for her 14th birthday. Michael Jackson reportedly purchased the 2,700-acre California property in 1987 for $19.5 million dollars. Zoo animals, bumper cars, two separate railroad tracks, and more fill the amusement park that is Neverland Ranch. In 2009 producer Mark White reportedly bought the mansion for $15 million, but the home was never renovated or even lived in, as documented by numerous people photographing the empty bedrooms. She survived but spent more than three years in a coma and retained brain damage, rendering her unable to move or speak. Horn put the home on the market after his wife was accidentally shot by their son with an air rifle at the home. Gilmour sold the manor to West Side Productions and it was taken over by record producer Trevor Horn in the '90s. The property has everything from the expected to the bizarre, including a recording studio used by Rod Stewart and Tom Jones to a supposed tombstone in the basement, according to Consequence of Sound. The studio space made it the perfect home for Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour, who purchased the home in 1980. The house was once sold to Alvin Lee (pictured) from the band Ten Years After in 1972, where he built an extensive recording studio inside the 11-bedroom home.

It wasn't long before Siegel's dream was realized (although he died before the hotel blossomed to its full glory) and the nation's elite were flocking to the Flamingo. The hotel first featured 105 guest rooms, and a luxurious array of activities and services, including a casino, health club, gym, steam rooms, horse stable, swimming pool, tennis courts, handball courts, a 9-hole golf course and a trapshooting range. To set the tone, Siegel focused on first-class pampering he decked out every employee - from janitor to dealer - in tuxedos, spared no expense on furnishings and created the VIP section for special guests. When the $6-million Flamingo Hotel and Casino opened in 1946, Siegel billed it as the world's most luxurious and set out to attract the rich and famous. People scoffed when Mobster Bugsy Siegel said he wanted to open a luxury resort in the middle of the Nevada desert, a full 7 miles from downtown Las Vegas.
