The stupid game 55/3/2023 The game culminates with your pursuing the mission to take down Jacob Seed, the pivotal member of the Seed family, and the only one left by this point as you've taken out his siblings. (There are technically three, but the third is the game's easter egg false ending at the very start.) So let's finally discuss them. And apparently this is the conditioning required to justify one of the game's two endings. Instead the game opts to just declare that it's happened, and then once more force you to play through sections where you're shooting at imagined colleagues who disappear in puffs of green Bliss smoke. We've already discussed at length how atrocious is Far Cry 5's petulant way of literally forcing the player to play its core story beats, and it's within these non-optional poorly timed interruptions to the game that all this supposed brainwashing occurs. How? By enforced cutscenes and a complete abandoning of logic. You are, by the end, programmed to turn into a Bliss-faced zombie cult-worshipping brainwashed acolyte by hearing the song Only You, by the popular beat combo The Platters. And best of all, just to make sure it's as awful as possible, when someone's under its control this is shown to the player by their head being surrounded by a perpetual green fog, like in a cartoon.Īlong the way through this nonsensical trudge, one of the main bads is, apparently, brainwashing you. It's a hallucinogenic, but also causes euphoria, but also causes brainwashing, but also causes zombification. The further you get in the game, the more heavily and awkwardly it leans on this lunatic crutch, where people are literally zombified by Bliss, a flower-based drug that causes, er, whatever the game fancies its causing in the moment. For instance, how have they convinced this entire army of men (it's alllll men) to take up arms and fight absolutely anyone who doesn't adhere to the Seeds' religious proclivities? Is it an exploration of the terrifying power of charismatic cult leaders? Have they looked at how major religious texts can be used to convince the vulnerable of twisted notions? Do they explore the politics of poverty, picking up on the issues of the ignored poor white rural Americans raised by the election of Trump? Good grief, no. Zoom in on any aspect and it only gets more woefully ludicrous. The madness is palpable no matter how far out you zoom. So, absolutely not a single tiny speck of even the broadest overview of its concept makes a lick of sense. They've somehow established some sort of invisible borders to the whole area, despite being replete with aeroplanes and helicopters, and you are tasked with helping a team of about five from the county sheriff's department and US Marshals with trying to bring about an end to this heavily armed militia of hundreds, if not thousands. A family of loonies - the Seeds - have taken over a large stretch of rural Montana, a sort of county-wide cult. But what I didn't - couldn't - predict, was that it would be so actively nonsensical, so far from meaningful as to rip holes in the known universe. And I'm not claiming that with hindsight - I wrote it all down last May. I'd assumed, before the game came out, that they'd serve up a god-awful confusion of half-baked ideas about cults and American militias, and prevaricate and ultimately chicken out of trying to make any form of statement of any nature. I didn't expect Far Cry 5's story to be good. Although believe me, if you've not finished it and read this anyway, you'll only feel more compelled to play it to see if I'm exaggerating. Just in case, let me reiterate, this is an article that contains spoilers to the very end of the game. It is time to drape yourself in spoiler warnings and embrace the volcano of awful that is Far Cry 5's ending. And wow, does it reach its subterranean nadir when it comes to the finish. Not just in how it so idiotically interrupts you in the middle of other scripted missions to force you to play through hideously badly written enforced semi-playable cutscenes, but in every word uttered by every character from start to finish. It is, by a considerable stretch, the most abysmally written narrative in AAA gaming. Far Cry 5 has a bad story in the same way that the bubonic plague has a bad bacterium.

Duplicate finder open source5/3/2023 Now you will see the duplicates from /home/sk/Downloads/ directory and its sub-directories as well.įdupes can also be able to find duplicates from multiple directories at once. How to view the duplicates from sub-directories? Just use -r option like below. It shows the duplicates from the parent directory only. Sample output from my system: /home/sk/Downloads/Hyperledger.pdfĪs you can see, I have a duplicate file in /home/sk/Downloads/ directory. Just run the following command to find out the duplicate files in a directory, for example ~/Downloads. On RHEL, CentOS: $ sudo yum install epel-release $ sudo yum install fdupesįdupes usage is pretty simple. On Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint: $ sudo apt-get install fdupes On Arch Linux and its variants like Antergos, Manjaro Linux, install it using Pacman like below. Exclude files with different owner/group or permission bits as duplicatesįdupes is available in the default repositories of most Linux distributions.Delete duplicates immediately as they encountered.Exclude empty files and hidden files from consideration.Recursively search duplicate files in directories and sub-directories.Similar to Rdfind utility, Fdupes comes with quite handful of options to perform operations, such as: Fdupes identifies the duplicates by comparing file sizes, partial MD5 signatures, full MD5 signatures, and finally performing a byte-by-byte comparison for verification. It is free, open source utility written in C programming language. Remove Duplicate Files From Your Android With Duplicate Files Fixerįdupes is yet another command line utility to identify and remove the duplicate files within specified directories and the sub-directories.If you do not want to ignore empty files and delete them along with all duplicates, run: $ rdfind -deleteduplicates true -ignoreempty false ~/Downloadsįor more details, refer the help section: $ rdfind -help To delete all duplicates, simply run: $ rdfind -deleteduplicates true ~/Downloads If you don't want the old files anymore, just delete duplicate files instead of replacing them with hard or soft links. If so, use -ignoreempty option like below. You may have some empty files in a directory and want to ignore them. To replace all duplicates with symlinks/soft links, run: $ rdfind -makesymlinks true ~/Downloads To replace all duplicates with hardlinks, run: $ rdfind -makehardlinks true ~/Downloads Once you found the duplicates, you can replace them with either hardlinks or symlinks. You can remove the duplicates manually if you want to.Īlso, you can -dryrun option to find all duplicates in a given directory without changing anything and output the summary in your Terminal: $ rdfind -dryrun true ~/Downloads # duptype id depth size device inode priority nameĭUPTYPE_FIRST_OCCURRENCE 1469 8 9 2050 15864884 1 /home/sk/Downloads/tor-browser_en-US/Browser/TorBrowser/Tor/PluggableTransports/fte/tests/dfas/test5.regexĭUPTYPE_WITHIN_SAME_TREE -1469 8 9 2050 15864886 1 /home/sk/Downloads/tor-browser_en-US/Browser/TorBrowser/Tor/PluggableTransports/fte/tests/dfas/test6.regexĭUPTYPE_FIRST_OCCURRENCE 13 0 403635 2050 15740257 1 /home/sk/Downloads/Hyperledger(1).pdfĭUPTYPE_WITHIN_SAME_TREE -13 0 403635 2050 15741071 1 /home/sk/Downloads/Hyperledger.pdfīy reviewing the results.txt file, you can easily find the duplicates. You can view the name of the possible duplicate files in results.txt file. $ rdfind ~/DownloadsĪs you see in the above screenshot, Rdfind command will scan ~/Downloads directory and save the results in a file named results.txt in the current working directory. Once installed, simply run Rdfind command along with the directory path to scan for the duplicate files. On RHEL, CentOS: $ sudo yum install epel-release $ sudo yum install rdfind On Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint: $ sudo apt-get install rdfind So, you can install it in Arch-based systems using any AUR helper program like Yay as shown below. You can decide to either delete them or replace them with hard links or symbolic (soft) links. Once it found the duplicates, it will report them to you. If you have two or more equal files, Rdfind is smart enough to find which is original file, and consider the rest of the files as duplicates. Rdfind uses ranking algorithm to classify original and duplicate files. It compares files based on their content, not on their file names. Rdfind, stands for redundant data find, is a free and open source utility to find duplicate files across and/or within directories and sub-directories. These three utilities are free, open source and works on most Unix-like operating systems.

Yoworld paintboard program5/3/2023 Oh my, has to conjure up some failpost to sound intelligent. How is responding to you in bold and sarcastically off topic? I believe that's what you originally had a problem with? Still failed to read the post right under Oh my, has to go off topic now about my reply because the original point being made is now redundant. (Did you catch on to my sarcastic way of pointing out how you like to type the word: post ? ) Since I love to bold things allow me to bold why I bolded what I bolded earlier when I did said bolding. You're so cool, trying to bold things to prove a point that was already made. However, you read the post I put yet you didn't see my post which was no longer than 4 minutes after the original post I made and being right below. read.Įdit: And I don't read every post before posting since I am responding to the poster of the thread. If you could read that post then you could read the post after that i made. I was gonna bold it, but that might even be to much sarcasm for me. You must code an image and transfer the coding into an SVG to be able to run it through the correct procedures to begin the transfer onto the paintboard. I apologize if I sounded rude to you personally.Īriana RoZ (183814892) wrote:A Scalable vector graphic. You just said mentioned the gradients which is a valid point. Cool Guy who wants to bold things out and be sarcastic about it to prove his point which was already made hours ago. I was pointing out that gradients can be seen on pictures that have been made using a program, thats all. Not every reply, even a quoted one, is necessarily meant purely for the OP or person quoted. Im guessing you didnt see the post i made right after? You can see the gradients clearly.we do not have that option as of yet. Unless you're showing us the program, this post has no evidence of a program just because of a well done drawing. I've seen people draw their avatars with their hands, and speaking of such things I have my own avatar drawn by hand in my apartment.

Comanche casino5/3/2023 The Spanish adopted the Ute name for the people: kɨmantsi (enemy), and transliterated it into their own language phonetics. The earliest known use of the term "Comanche" dates to 1706, when the Comanche were reported by Spanish officials to be preparing to attack far-outlying Pueblo settlements in southern Colorado. The Comanche's autonym is nʉmʉnʉʉ, meaning "the human beings" or "the people". The Comanche Homecoming Annual Dance takes place in mid-July in Walters, Oklahoma. In the 21st century, the Comanche Nation has 17,000 members, around 7,000 of whom reside in tribal jurisdictional areas around Lawton, Fort Sill, and the surrounding areas of southwestern Oklahoma. ĭecimated by European diseases, warfare, and encroachment by Europeans on Comanchería, most Comanche were forced to live on reservations in Indian Territory by the late 1870s. At their peak, the Comanche language was the lingua franca of the Great Plains region. Thousands of captives from raids on Spanish, Mexican, and American settlers assimilated into Comanche society. They took captives from other tribes during warfare, using them as slaves, selling them to the Spanish and (later) Mexican settlers, or adopting them into their tribe. They traded with neighboring Native American peoples, and Spanish, French, and American colonists and settlers.Īs European Americans encroached on their territory, the Comanche waged war on and raided their settlements, as well as those of neighboring Native American tribes. Spanish colonists and later Mexicans called their historical territory Comanchería.ĭuring the 18th and 19th centuries, Comanche practiced a nomadic horse culture and hunted, particularly bison. In the 18th and 19th centuries, Comanche lived in most of present-day northwestern Texas and adjacent areas in eastern New Mexico, southeastern Colorado, southwestern Kansas, and western Oklahoma. The Comanche were once part of the Shoshone people of the Great Basin. Originally, it was a Shoshoni dialect, but diverged and became a separate language. The Comanche language is a Numic language of the Uto-Aztecan family. Comanche people today belong to the federally recognized Comanche Nation, headquartered in Lawton, Oklahoma. The Comanche / k ə ˈ m æ n tʃ i/ or Nʉmʉnʉʉ ( Comanche: Nʉmʉnʉʉ, "the people" ) are a Native American tribe from the Southern Plains of the present-day United States.
