The full Ogre Kingdoms faction is introduced in Total War: Warhammer III, where the Ogre Kingdoms are playable in the campaign, Custom Battles, and the planned Immortal Empires. Ogres first appeared as recruitable mercenary units in DLC for Total War: Warhammer II. Thus the Ogre Kingdoms came to be founded. The Ogres eventually settled in the Mountains of Mourn lands and began to thrive despite the cold environment. With nothing left for them they travelled westward, ultimately running into and consuming or driving off the peaceful race of Sky Titans that lived in the mountains they came to. Those who survived beheld a strange maw-like void in that ground that seemed to stretch endlessly into the earth. The astromancers of the Dragon Emperor retaliated by dropping a vast celestial body into the heart of the Ogre homeland, destroying it and wiping out much of the Ogre race. But when this was not enough for them, they began eating whatever they wanted. In time the Ogres found the Empire of Grand Cathay and often served in its army as mercenaries in exchange for food. But they were not finished, with the Old Ones destroyed or forced to leave before they could finish the Ogres' homeland or fix their interminable hunger. So the Ogres were made big and strong, quick to adapt and resilient against mutation and corruption. The Elves were too fragile and slow to reproduce, the Dwarfs were too stubborn and culturally stagnant, the Humans were too vulnerable to the corruptive power of Chaos. Ogres were the final race created by the ancient Old Ones and were intended to avoid the same pitfalls that other Elder Races fell prey to. Though some live as nomads and others as mercenaries, most of their kind are united under Tyrants, who venture forth from their kingdoms to wage war and gain plunder to satisfy both their pride and their guts. From the moment they are born, Ogres are in the grip of an insatiable hunger, which they will consume virtually anything to satiate. Here, the vast majority of the gluttonous Ogre race live, fighting amongst one another for glory, wealth, and most of all, food. In the southern parts of this region lay the Ogre Kingdoms.

Thank you so much! Please find the thread copy/pasted below - it goes back to a question I asked on Dec 17.Ĭan you someone please reply? I'm seeking refund for the live chat service that I never needed, and won't be using in 2023. I truly hate leaving negative reviews but am deeply disappointed about the time/energy/money spent on zendesk and wish I'd made a better choice.Īnyway, here’s the headache inducing effort to get help if anyone wants a firsthand account of how ridiculous this is: I’m so glad it wasn’t possible to lock myself into a multi-year contract, and now I’m exploring my options. Really? Who was replying without realizing an hour was already spent via DM?īetween my experience over the past ~1.5 years, and everything else I’m reading, it looks like Zendesk is happy to keep taking our money until we finally give up and leave. Thank you for reporting." And THEN I got a reply via twitter feed inviting me to send a DM. After an hour of very slow, useless back and forth, I received this message: "Hi there! The issue is already reported and our engineers have been working for the issue resolution. I confirmed it was a system wide error, not me needing personal assistance. Then they told me to submit a support ticket so someone could help me troubleshoot. Then they sent me a link that didn't work. ZD's twitter user DM'd a community page that linked to a page that didn't work. I tried to report this error on Twitter since there was no reporting mechanism on the status page itself. ZD’s status page reported everything was fine, but even the bot on their website wasn’t working, so clearly this was a system wide error. More recently I noticed my faq bot wasn't working - I couldn't save edits, it wouldn't load on my site. If you’re interested in details, please find below a copy/pasted summary of my correspondence that went unanswered again and again (apologies for my typos). Shocking for a company that literally claims to provide customer service infrastructure. In April a new account manager was assigned to me and he offered to help but ghosted me, too. I tried to get help addressing the financial aspect of this and. In December, upon subscription renewal, I realized I’ve been paying for a feature I don't use. The fact that I was unable to get help choosing the correct plan for my needs should have indicated things would only get worse, but I proceeded because I needed a solution ASAP. I was hesitant to write this review in case it led to worse support/service than I’m already getting however, upon reflection, I realized that if I can save anyone else the headache of diving into Zendesk then it will be worthwhile. While it approves of the powertrain and accessories quality, just about everything else gets a fail. Power is nonplussed with the 2009 Cobalt. Some comments from owners: "Better than my previous vehicle … a Saturn SL1," "Centre console obstructs parking brake" and "This car is everything I would expect from a small car." Problem areas include the electrical system, suspension, body equipment and the ever-present "squeaks and rattles." It fares better than either the 2008 or 2010 model, as far as this organization is concerned. Lots of niggling bits and pieces, in other words.Ĭonsumer Reports gives the 2009 Cobalt an "average" used-car prediction. Some examples include "binding" difficulties with the ignition key/switch, issues with the airbag wiring in the front seats, loss of reverse gear with the automatic transmission, problems with the turbocharger unit in the SS models, and a range of electrical gremlins throughout the vehicle. NHTSA has an impressive 59 technical service bulletins out there for the 2009 Cobalt, and they cover just about every aspect of the car. You never know, some of these cars could have made their way into Canada. The fuel pump can fail, start leaking, and cause a fire. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration also has these two on file, as well as a fuel pump warning for vehicles sold in Nevada, Texas, Arizona, and California. This could lead to the vehicle possibly rolling away. The second has to do with a poorly designed transmission shifter that may read "Park" and allow the driver to remove the ignition key when in fact the vehicle is still in gear. Not a life-threatener, and apparently the vehicle's Driver Information Centre gives plenty of warning. One involves a possibly malfunctioning power steering mechanism that could fail and leave the driver with non-power steering. Transport Canada has two safety recalls on file for the '09 Cobalt. That said, the Cobalt did feature a slightly larger trunk than the Civic (394 litres versus 340 litres) and offered more interior headroom. By way of comparison, Honda's Civic was similarly priced, but featured a higher standard trim level. However, air conditioning, ABS and extra airbags were optional and the bare-bones model had precious little in the way of modcons. In 2009, the Cobalt was one of the lowest-priced sedans sold in Canada. If you followed the upshift indicator religiously, you could garner 8.0 litres/100 km in town and 5.4 litres/100 km on the highway. This was a small yellow light located within the instrument cluster that flashed at the driver when optimum shifting points were reached. It did, however, feature an upshift indicator light. The manual gearbox suffered from a lack of refinement and poorly designed shift linkage. Two transmissions were available: five-speed manual and four-speed automatic. By far the most popular engine choice with buyers, the normally aspirated Ecotec powerplant was bigger than many of its rivals, with higher horsepower numbers, but was criticized for having an unrefined feeling. This latter engine was slightly smaller but featured significantly higher power output – 155 hp versus 260 hp. There was also a turbocharged model, in the form of the SS. Power for the 2009 edition was provided by the rugged but agricultural Ecotec engine, which displaced 2.2 litres. It came in two body styles: four-door sedan and two-door coupe. Definitely an improvement over its predecessor, it too was discontinued, in 2011, and replaced by the Cruze. Replacing the unloved and often-dissed Cavalier in 2005, Chevy's Cobalt was a GM entry-level model. Huge singles, such as the bitter yet empowering You Oughta Know and Ironic (which, ironically, doesn’t involve true examples of the concept) drew plenty of attention to a singer who at the time was just taking her first steps into stardom. Jagged Little Pillmarked Alanis’ jump from small-time Canadian starlet to international phenomenon. 20: Alanis Morissette: ‘Jagged Little Pill’ (1995) Here, then, are 20 of the best 90s albums. But trying to piece the puzzle together through the best 90s albums is a frustrating task – and one that usually sees the same culprits demanding attention: Radiohead, Lauryn Hill, U2… Narrowing it down to just 20 albums is even harder, but we believe these records sum up one of popular music’s most fondly-remembered eras. The 90s was a turbulent and exciting decade for pop culture.

What Is This Place For? Now that you know how to get Slime Keys in Slime Rancher, you should be able to unlock various Slime Gates and access new parts of Far, Far Range. Some locations can be accessed via alternate routes. Since you can use the jetpack to traverse the map and reach certain areas, you may not need very many Slime Keys at all, as you can simply circumvent the Indigo Quarry and Moss Blanket gates using the jetpack instead. Keep in mind that you don’t need to unlock every Slime Gate to access every region in the map. This means that three of the Slime Keys are currently obsolete, though perhaps more Slime Gates will be added in future updates to give these keys a purpose. There are eleven Slime Keys players can obtain in Slime Rancher, but there are only eight Slime Gates found throughout Far, Far Range. Use Slime Keys to Open Gates In Slime Rancher, Slime Keys are used to open various Slime Gates throughout the map. © Monomi ParkĪs we mentioned before, Slime Keys are used to open Slime Gates. Teleporters will send a player from one teleporter to another, and where they send you depends on which Teleporter you initially stand on. The Rock, Tabby, and Tangle Gordo Slimes will burst to reveal Teleporters instead when fed enough food. It’s important to note that not all Gordo Slimes will drop Slime Keys. They'll leave behind a Slime Key, along with some crates and several smaller Slimes of the same type. In addition, almost every slime type can be combined by feeding a small slime a plort from a different slime species. There are 16 slimes to capture in the wild (six of which are dangerous), and even more to be encountered in general. Once a Gordo Slime is fed the required amount of food, their gluttony will cause them to explode and drop various items. Slime Rancher is a game about making a successful ranch full of slimes so that you can harvest their plorts. The food requirement can be reduced by feeding a Slime their favorite food type. Pink Gordo Slimes require 45 food items, while all the other Gordo Slimes require 65 food items. Read: Slime Rancher - All Gordo Slime Locations Most Gordo Slimes will drop a Slime Key when they burst. Note that Pink Gordo Slimes don’t have a food preference and will eat anything. © Monomi Park Gordo Slimes - Favorite Foodsīelow is a list of each Gordo Slime type and their favorite food in Slime Rancher. You’ll need to know what type of food each Slime likes to eat and then accumulate a massive amount of it to feed them enough to drop a Slime Key. Gordo Slimes are huge Slimes hidden throughout the map, and there’s usually only one or two Gordo Slimes in each major location. Slime Keys can be obtained by feeding wild Gordo Slimes their favorite foods. Follow this guide to find out how to get Slime Keys in Slime Rancher. Getting Slime Keys is as easy as knowing which Slimes to feed and what to feed them. In Slime Rancher, Slime Keys are used to unlock various Slime Gates throughout the Far, Far Range map.

Patchy lets out some lighthearted chuckles before yelling "NO!" HA HA HA-No: Patchy hears three bells which offscreen children take to mean they're getting free ice cream. The only part of the trope he doesn't fulfill is actively ruining it for everyone else. The Grinch: Squidward basically becomes the original, down from hating Christmas to saving it for the town.Funny Photo Phrase: Squidward tells (a very upset) SpongeBob to say, "Santa Claus" as his picture is taken, as a way of rubbing it in SpongeBob's face that Santa never showed up.Framing Device: Patchy the Pirate and Potty, in their first ever appearance, decorate their house for Christmas.Krabs is later seen giving one to Plankton, who tosses it in a trashcan full of other fruit cakes.

Mr.Egg-Laying Male: At the end of the episode, Patchy takes his hat off and Potty flies out, leaving behind a nest full of eggs wrapped in bows.His next appearances would simply use his English name.

But parenting may be the most contradictory subject of them all! The further I get into this parenting gig, the more I realize how much gray area there is to raising a child. We have shifted the focus away from achievement, and are concentrating our efforts on emphasizing what truly matters: that the child is engaged and growing.Ĭustomizable MOVIE TICKET SYSTEM to Reduce & Vary Your Child’s “Screen Time” (printable pdf included!)Īll that being said, today’s post may seem like a complete contradiction. By removing the bulk of extrinsic rewards, we have given back to the child his or her right to the simple and intrinsic satisfaction of the activity or subject itself. We are encouraged by many childhood development experts to replace the “gold star” techniques with simple verbal feedback acknowledging progress and noticing detail: “I see you are using a lot of blue in your drawing” rather than the vague “good job!” or “your handwriting has improved so much from the beginning of the school year.” Overall, I think this shift is a very good one. Then again, for those of us with wild children running around our homes, “enslaving” their souls may not sound half bad when we are at our absolute wit’s end.Īll joking aside, our movement away from rewards at home and at school allows for a stronger emphasis on effort and attitude, and a gentler focus on achievement. Maria Montessori even went as far as to say that rewards “are a means of enslaving a child’s soul.” This may be a somewhat dramatic take, but I believe it to be foundationally true. I’m almost always late to everything), the shift is mainly founded on the belief that rewards and excessive praise rob the child of the natural and inherent satisfaction of engaging in the activity or task at hand purely on the basis of it’s own merit. If you are late to the party (no worries. “up-to-date” on their child-development literature. often to the chagrin of those who are more. You could say that the gold star is “out.” Of course, many parents and teachers still use these methods. In the 21st century, rewards at home and at school are largely frowned upon by parenting experts. HOMEMADE CANDY TUTORIAL: 3-ingredient Gummies, & 4-ingredient Chocolate Date “Snickers” Eggs There have been a few key changes (not all of them good) in the past couple of decades leading up to our modern age of parenting, starting with our view of high fructose corn syrup. If you recall, rewards were all the rage in the 80’s and 90’s “Praise Age of Parenting.” Sticker charts and prize buckets abounded in most homes and classrooms, and gold stars were doled out almost as generously as all those blow pops, and ring pops, and bottle pops that accounted for an entire food group in so many of our diets as children. I do not recommend for kids who readily grab a book and read. Please note: this system is designed specifically for RELUCTANT READERS. Parging, also called pargeting, is the addition of mortar or a spray-on coating that smooths the chamber surface and slows the buildup of residue.
"He needed someone like me, who'd had that experience, to confirm it for him. He made sure we all got along, made sure that we had beer, made sure that everything was cohesive." "Vinnie was a great engineer from the time I met him - he just didn't know it," Date explains. "He'd just get in there and capture the moment and really get the feel of the track. "Terry was pretty much what a producer needs to be," Brown says. From that point on, we really grew a tight bond and trusted each other." Thus began a valuable creative partnership that would last until the end of Pantera. All of sudden you could tell that he was really, really into what he was doing. But we got to know each other and he loosened up. He had his little baseball hat on, glasses, he kind of looked more like a golfer than a rock and roller, and we're, like, these wild and crazy fucking Texans fucking drinking and going fucking crazy. "At first, it was kind of weird, man," Paul admits. The head shaving went off without incident, and Date was quickly accepted into the band's inner circle. But he sits down in a chair, and he gives me a razor and some shaving cream, and he says, 'Shave my head.'" When we pulled into that hotel, Phil grabbed me, and he said, 'Come into the bathroom.' I was a little concerned at first. "We drove up to where the show was, and they had a hotel room there. Because they were Southerners and here's this Northerner coming down," Date remembers. "In their words, they were a little tentative. "And I was like, 'OK, that's the 12th time I've heard that this week.' I heard the demo, and it was really good, but it wasn't until I met them that I realized that this was something special."ĭate flew down to Texas to meet the band, and drove with them in their van to a gig in the Dallas area. They could be the next Metallica,'" Date recalls. "Pantera's manager, Walter O'Brien, called me up and goes, 'I've got this band. Seattle-based Terry Date, who had already worked with Soundgarden and Overkill, got the nod. As 1989 came to a close, after releasing four albums on their own Metal Magic label over the preceding seven years, Pantera signed to Acto Records. The first order of business was to put the band - who had previously self-produced all of their recordings - in the studio with a "name" producer. |
