Māori bore the brunt of colonial racism in New Zealand. I lost count of the people who asked if ‘Doctor’ was my first name.Ĭontemporary white racism has origins in the slave trade and colonisation during which European countries applied a pseudo-scientific hierarchy of races, from white to brown to yellow to black, to justify the exploitation of labour and extraction of natural resources from Africa, the Americas, Asia and Oceania. We’ve experienced racism in Auckland, Wellington, Palmerston North and elsewhere just much more of it in Christchurch. In many ways, Christchurch is no different than anywhere else in New Zealand. When a rural tractor followed, the dad of the family next to us turned to his wife and said, ‘At last a New Zealand float’. At one point a series of Asian community floats passed by representing Malaysia, the Philippines and so on. My daughter called ‘nigger’ at a football game.ĭuring our last Christmas, we went to watch the parade along Riccarton Road. A College funding committee requesting only my CV from a research team of four in which I was second in seniority. An anonymous hate note sent in the internal work mail the handwriting later matched to a retired Pākehā colleague. Being asked what I was studying, replying ‘I am the new Senior Lecturer’. Her reply, ‘Pity I’m not desperate’.Īnd on it went. On our third day, a skinhead approached my wife in a supermarket saying: ‘You look pretty, pity you aren’t white’. Months later, a long-serving Māori colleague asked me ‘Guess what happened to me at the Recreation Centre?’ I did. I complained and received a verbal apology, including an explanation that this had never happened before. On the second day, a recreation centre staff member refused to believe I was on the university staff. Without checking the rental list or that I had just picked up the keys, security stormed our house. On my first day at work a neighbour rang the University of Canterbury to report that ‘A large Māori man has just come out of one of your houses on Ilam Road’. My family ran a relief effort in the eastern suburbs.Ĭhristchurch also has a problem with racism. Neighbours dug liquefaction out of each other’s yards. During the aftermath of the main earthquake, people helped each other. For example, then mayor, Garry Moore, in The Press accused the organisers of staging a ‘forum for extremists’ and a previous mayor, Vicki Buck, said that apart from the odd incident by peripheral groups, she ‘didn’t see any racism’ in Christchurch.Ĭhristchurch is a great city. Canadian Professor Audrey Kobayashi, who analysed debate around the march, concluded that rather than focussing on the needs of the victims, community leaders concentrated instead on minimising the perception that the city harboured racism. In 2004, members of the Christchurch Asian community organised an anti-racism march after skinheads assaulted a student from Vietnam. But the research shows that Mayor Dalziel is wrong, and that the city's violent white supremacist history needs to be addressed in order to both heal the wounds inflicted that day and combat the spread of white supremacist hatred. It’s also true that the tragedy has inspired an overwhelming display of compassion and generosity from the wider Christchurch community toward the Muslim and migrant communities. It’s true that the accused gunman was from Australia and not Christchurch. The evidence shows that Christchurch is not only more racist than other New Zealand cities but is also a primary exporter of white supremacist hatred around New Zealand and overseas.Ĭhristchurch Mayor Lianne Dalziel has said that the shooter was an outsider who imported ‘hatred’ and ‘extremism’ into a city that is neither white supremacist nor Islamophobic. Since the shootings, there has been debate about whether the city of Christchurch is more racist than other parts of New Zealand. Is Christchurch the capital of white racism in New Zealand?Ĭhristchurch has suffered a lot over the past decade with the earthquakes and the white supremacist shooting that killed 51 members of the Muslim community in February of this year. This spell does not function on an animal or plant with an Intelligence greater than 2.ġ. An awakened animal can't serve as an animal companion, familiar, or special mount.Īn awakened tree or animal can speak one language that you know, plus one additional language that you know per point of Intelligence bonus (if any). Its type becomes magical beast (augmented animal). An awakened plant gains the ability to move its limbs, roots, vines, creepers, and so forth, and it has senses similar to a human's.Īn awakened animal gets 3d6 Intelligence, +1d3 Charisma, and +2 HD. If you cast awaken again, any previously awakened creatures remain friendly to you, but they no longer undertake tasks for you unless it is in their best interests.Īn awakened tree has characteristics as if it were an animated object, except that it gains the plant type and its Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores are each 3d6. You have no special empathy or connection with a creature you awaken, although it serves you in specific tasks or endeavors if you communicate your desires to it. The awakened animal or tree is friendly toward you. To succeed, you must make a Will save (DC 10 + the animal's current HD, or the HD the tree will have once awakened). You awaken a tree or animal to human-like sentience. Saving Throw Will negates Spell Resistance yes (Your GM may allow it though, and if so, then, it should get the effects of the spell, minus the HD gain in my opinion.) As GM, I would allow it to work, minus the HD gain, and it would no longer be a familiar, and depending on how you treated it before it was awakened, make use of the Leadership feat to have it as one of your followers.Ĭomponents V, S, M (herbs and oils worth 2,000 gp), DF Casting that spell on your familiar makes it no longer a familiar, which kind of invalidates your questions. On behalf of Square Enix and the entire Luminous Productions team, I hope you’re just as excited as we are to join Frey’s journey next year. Forspoken will be releasing on PlayStation 5 in Spring 2022. Together, they’ve worked to craft a beautiful story of Frey’s journey of self-discovery that I have no doubt you will enjoy. They include Gary Whitta (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story), Amy Hennig (Uncharted series), Allison Rymer, and Todd Stashwick. But why stop at one legendary composer when you can work with two? In addition to Bear, the renowned Garry Schyman (BioShock) is also composing musical tracks for the game. So go ahead and set those expectations high - you’re going to be wowed.įinally, I’m excited to announce some of the talented writers behind this game. We’re so excited that Bear has joined the Forspoken team as he can bring the immersive world and all of its twisted beauty come to life by fusing contemporary electronic beats with a fantasy tone. You may also be wondering about the music in the trailer-pretty amazing, right? I’m happy to announce that the track was composed by the legendary Bear McCreary, who you may know from God of War (2018) and The Walking Dead. She is quick to accept Frey in Athia and sees more in her than Frey does in herself.
Is it true most cats that appear solid are actually tabbies in disguise?įirstly, all cats originated from a cat species with stripes. Just a few popular ones include:Ībyssinian, American Bobtail, American Curl, American Shorthair, Balinese, Bengal, British Shorthair, Cornish Rex, Devon Rex, Egyptian Mau, Himalayan, Maine Coon, Manx, Munchkin, Norwegian Forest Cat, Ocicat, Persian, Ragdoll, Scottish Fold, and Siamese. What are the most common breeds that include tabby cats?Īccording to Cat-World, there are many breeds that accept tabbies. Why do all tabbies have the M striped marketing on their head? What about the dark stripe coming from the outer corner of their eyes?Īlthough there are religious and mythical explanations, both traits are standard genetic components of a tabby pattern, and likely help with sun glare when hunting (think about a sports player putting black under their eyes).
Many other apps do the same thing, in case it ever stops, here’s a list of apps we’d recommend checking out. I’ve been using it ever since I switched to Mac, and will continue to use it until it becomes unsupported. You can set custom keyboard shortcuts and manage, resize and move windows. Although the application is no longer actively maintained, it is still one of the best free apps that gives you a Windows-like Windows management experience on Mac. Spectacle is a window manager application. The application supports English, Russian, Spanish and Turkish languages. It saved me a lot of time, and while it is one of the best applications you will find on the App Store, it is worth investing a little to show your support for the developer. It is a simple and straightforward application, and if I had to repurchase it, I would buy it in a heartbeat. If the password manager has removed the copied password from the clipboard, Pelican will do the same to protect your privacy. It lets you access the last 999 copied text and images, it lets you easily find, pin, and delete clipboard content, and everything’s stored locally on your computer. I downloaded Pelican when it was still free, and although it costs $2.99 at the moment, it’s one of the best clipboard managers you’ll find on a Mac. MacOS is one of the best places to browse and download official and customized icons for your favorite apps. Pictogram makes it easy to change icons for apps on your Mac, and it preserves custom icons even after apps are updated. MacOS 12 Monterey introduced slightly different icons, and if you still have apps that haven’t been changed or updated for a while, you might want to try this free app. It’s really worth the price, and it supports the latest M1 series of Apple chips. If you’re like me and want to have dual clocks, one for EST and the other for UTC, and check CPU temperature, this is a must-have application. iStat menus include dropdowns and other menu bar items that allow users to monitor CPU, GPU, power usage, control fans, rearrange and change menu layouts, view weather temperatures, and many other features. The app includes a 6-month weather forecast (which incurs additional costs due to API requests), but the app is a one-time purchase only. IStat Menus is a paid app, and it starts at $9.99 on the App Store, and $14.39 on the developer’s website. The app weighs in at 6MB, and takes up little or no storage, and I haven’t had a problem with it once. The best part is that there are no hidden fees and purchases, and no ads. The application also shows how much space each application takes up and how much free space is available. It supports Apple M1 silicon chips, making it far safer and faster to uninstall and manage your apps. The application, as the name suggests, lets you easily uninstall and remove third-party applications from your Mac. I’d also recommend you check out my 10 apps I can’t live without post that shows the apps I must have. Some apps let you quickly find and uninstall third-party apps, some let you manage Windows, as on Windows 10 and 11, and some let you take advantage of the missing clipboard feature. The apps I’ll share with you are listed alphabetically and will make using your Mac so much easier. If you’ve recently upgraded, or are planning to upgrade, it’s worth considering some of these new apps, especially if you’re switching from Windows. The new Apple MacBook Pro devices come with M1 Pro and M1 Ultra chips that unlock potential unseen and unheard of before. You can use Markup Import to overlay a scan or a photograph of a drawing that has hand drawn or computer drafted markups.įor example, if you have a PDF version of your drawing that has text and revision notes added, use Markup Import to overlay the revised drawing on top of the original. These markups can be the entire drawing or a portion of the drawing and are placed in a new trace. Markups can be imported as a PDF ping or jpeg file. With the new Markup Import and Markup Assist features, you can use machine learning to identify markups and provide a way to view and insert drawing revisions with less manual effort. Let’s look at the other new features now available in AutoCAD for Mac 2024. “It’s exciting to see how customers can now take full advantage of the latest hardware and M-series chips for faster ways to work.” “AutoCAD for Mac 2024 and AutoCAD LT for Mac 2024 deliver incredible, new performance improvements with the ability to run AutoCAD natively on Apple silicon,” says Dania El Hassan, Director of Product Management for AutoCAD, Autodesk. The support for Apple Silicon can increase overall performance by up to two times compared to 2023.* AutoCAD for Mac 2024 is here! We’re excited to share the new enhancements and features that improve performance, enable greater collaboration, and provide time-saving automation.įor the first time, AutoCAD for Mac 2024 and AutoCAD LT for Mac 2024 now run natively on both Intel and Apple Silicon architectures, including M1 and M2 chips in the M-series chips. Office on the web is a version of the software that runs within a web browser. Microsoft also maintains mobile apps for Android and iOS. The original, and most widely used version, is the desktop version, available for PCs running the Windows and macOS operating systems.

Mina the Hollower will also have some light RPG mechanics, including leveling up and upgrading stats. Some show off was the Ferry Wisp, letting you float for a short time, and a spider that shoots webs you can use as platforms to cross gaps. Based on the trailer, it looks like only five out of 60 can be equipped at once. These bits of gear offer different buffs to your moves depending on which you’ve found and equipped. Trinkets will be familiar to fans of Shovel Knight. It can also be used as a dodge of sorts, but since you can only stay underground for a short amount of time, you need to time it well. Digging underground lets you avoid obstacles and enemies for traversal, as well as move much faster than above ground. While the trailer was very disjointed, we expect there to be plenty of 2D action, dungeons, bosses, and probably some light puzzle solving as well.īurrowing is the main mechanic introduced in Mina the Hollower. The style looks very much like Link’s Awakening, only with the whipping and sub-weapon system of the classic 2D Castlevania games. The Volt Hatchet, for example, can hit multiple foes at once with its AOE attack, while the Gyro Dagger acts like a boomerang that you can whip in the air to knock it back into enemies multiple times. Only one can be held at a time, but serve different purposes. There will also be a host of sidearms you can use to attack. Normal attacks utilize your whip in whatever direction Mina is facing, but has that familiar delay Castlevania fans know all too well. Hyde – and countless others.” GameplayĪs a GameBoy Color inspired game, Mina the Hollower will almost exclusively be played with just a D-pad and two buttons: One used to attack and the other burrow. The team describes it as a “Gothic Horror” and expresses that it wants to put a “modern spin on a classic source.” Outside of games, the developers list many famous literary works as inspiration for Mina the Hollower, including “ Dracula, Frankenstein, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Dr. This game is very much Castlevania-inspired. He now leads a group called the Shock Troopers who have begun attacking while the generators are down. Thorne is a bat who was once Lionel’s top bodyguard before betraying him and disappearing. She wields the whip, Nightstar, along with other tools and weapons. She’s known throughout the land for her Spark technology that powers the Spark Generators used by everyone. Mina is the youngest, but also most promising Hollower. Mina is part of an ancient group called the Hollowers who dedicate their lives to science and energy but also have the special Hollowing ability to dig and travel underground. This sets Mina off on her adventure across Tenebrous Isle to figure out who - or what - is responsible. After getting a letter from a customer and ruler of her home island named Baron Lionel, informing her that her most important invention, Spark Generators, have begun failing and that it is likely due to sabotage. The titular Mina is a little mouse called a Hollower, an inventor who fights with her whip. While the trailer itself is almost completely focused on gameplay, the Kickstarter page has tons of additional info on the world, characters, and the story of Mina the Hollower. However, until official word is given, take that as simply highly likely speculation at this point. The original Shovel Knight came to just about everything, even the WiiU, so odds are that, at one point or another, Mina the Hollower should come to at least the major systems like PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, if not more. The only ones we know for sure are Mac and Linux since they were part of the stretch goals for the project that has already been passed. Yacht Club has stated that it doesn’t have a confirmed list of platforms Mina the Hollower will be available on, possibly due to any future changes in the market between now and release. Since the game does use Kickstarter, we can at least expect a fairly regular schedule of updates on the game’s development and progress towards an eventual release date. We always prioritize quality, even if that means delaying a project a little until it’s ready to meet the world.” Even the developers themselves admit that it will be a long wait stating, “The biggest risk is that Mina the Hollower may take longer than anticipated. What it does tell us is that we shouldn’t expect this game any time soon. However, that could easily just be a placeholder date with Yacht Club not actually intending to release the game then.
