![]() The required national grid is expected to provide enough reserve generating capacity in the grid to ensure grid stability during the nuclear plant’s planned outages for refuelling and maintenance. Should a nuclear power plant be too large for the grid, the assessment underlines specific challenges including off-peak electricity demand being too low to operate the nuclear plant at constant full power (baseload mode). The electricity grid is expected to provide reliable and off-site power to nuclear power plants. Interfacing nuclear power plants with existing grids require complex engineering,” reads the assessment report. “While Kenya has and is already expanding its electric grid system, it may require significant enhancement/upgrading to be suitable for the connection of a nuclear power plant. The study carried out by the Nuclear Power and Energy Agency in collaboration with the National Environment Management Authority (Nema) and SGS consortium says the current electricity grid will require significant enhancement based on safety needs imposed on nuclear plants and the large size of such installations.Īlso read: Geothermal to power Kenya's future ![]() Kenya will be required to upgrade the current national grid if it decides to proceed with plans to set up nuclear power plants to supplement the growing energy needs of the country.Ī Strategic Environmental and Social Assessment (SESA) study for the Kenya Nuclear Power Programme has found the current network insufficient in backing a nuclear power plant.

![]() And while it would be ideal to be able to depict people’s lives without the need for a Very Special Conversation, the game proves it’s possible to discuss such concepts even among characters who aren’t aware of labels or terminology for their feelings ( a concern expressed by David Gaider when asked about including ace relationships in Dragon Age - four years after Magical Diary’s release). ![]() It’s a somewhat on-the-nose conversation, but believable for the character and handled with care to avoid invalidating ace identity. A crucial choice to completing the route is Virginia asking the player if they would still be interested in dating her, even if she never developed any interest in intimacy beyond hand-holding and kissing. While clearly written from the perspective of a teen who’s still exploring her identity, the writing takes care not to portray Virginia as someone who is simply nervous about having her first partner. Virginia’s route also deals with her desire to become a professional athlete, but the final event revolves around Virginia’s discomfort with and disinterest in physical intimacy. The other route, Virginia Danson, is to date the only example I’ve ever encountered of a romanceable asexual character. One route, Ellen Middleton, involves conversations around the character’s struggles with anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder (in a pleasantly understated fashion for example, the player encounters Ellen compulsively cleaning their room after a stressful visit home), and the culmination of her route does not involve a magical (literal or figurative) cure for her mental illness. Two of the game’s romance paths tell stories that are still rare to virtually nonexistent even in modern games. The game also included several prominent Black characters (as well as the option to make the protagonist a POC), two of whom are romanceable. overwhelmingly cis, heterosexual, and white). While 2011 is still in very recent memory, it was nonetheless ahead of the curve in terms of breaking free of the boxes of narrowly defined “acceptable” romances (i.e. These routes aren’t treated as jokes or flings, nor are they any shorter than the male romantic routes. In keeping with the company’s previous games, Magical Diary also has a female protagonist and two female romance options alongside four male ones. Hence, we’ll be focusing on the relationship writing. While the game also makes an attempt to be more responsible in its worldbuilding - the game’s magical populace is heavily entwined with Native American tribes, for example, though there are no Native characters - but I am quite unqualified to assess how successfully it executes those elements. Among western visual novel developers, Hanako Games was one of the first developers (alongside Winter Wolves) to include same-gender romance options - predominantly between women, as their games tended to star female protagonists. The most popular dating sims and visual novels translated among fans and by professionals were predominately heterosexual and aimed toward (cis) men. The team continued to develop and experiment within their chosen genre, and 2011 saw the release of Magical Diary, one of the company’s most narratively thoughtful if visually unremarkable games.Įven in the world of indie games, it’s been a long and uphill slog toward games that tell diverse, inclusive stories. They developed their first dating sim in 2008 with Summer Session and ventured into the otome game model with 2010’s Date Warp. Hanako Games (founded in 2003) was one of the oldest indie developers to take elements of this style, usually incorporating them with “raising game” (focusing on the development of the player character’s stats), RPG, or adventure game elements. Barring a few translations by small companies like JAST USA (which started in 1996 and primarily focused on pornographic titles), the bulk of the VN genre was shared peer-to-peer or sold at convention booths. Given the explosive success of Dream Daddy and the romance elements of latter day Bioware games, it might be hard for younger gamers to imagine how niche the market was less than ten years ago. ![]() The late 2000s saw a boom in western dating sims - now adults, developers who’d been influenced by Japanese visual novels, eroge, and dating sims began making their own forays into the genre. ![]() Search for PowerShell, right-click the top result, and select the Run as administrator option.To format a USB flash drive using PowerShell commands on Windows 10, use these steps: In addition, the command-line tool can be used to clean and format the storage to resolve corruption and other problems.

It does appear that Lundgren is overstating things in the interview he gives, especially this part: Lundgren gave an interesting interview with the Verge explaining his position on all of this, while Microsoft - feeling the heat from multiple stories criticizing its role in the prosecution - put out a somewhat scathing blog post from VP Frank Shaw insisting everyone has this wrong, and presenting an argument that Lundgren was a low down dirty pirate who is pulling the wool over everyone’s eyes. The goal was to get these refurbishers so they could put them in the boxes and then consumers down the road could repair the problem.įrom the details in the case, it clearly was intended to be a money-making venture. Indeed, that’s what Microsoft focuses on heavily in its version of the story. It highlights email evidence in the case of Lundgren emailing with his partner/co-defendant in the case where, multiple times, he talks about how they’re in business together to make money (and getting frustrated when they weren’t actually making money). Microsoft (and some of its… rather vocal supporters…) argue that this is all proof that Lundgren is full of shit and just a common criminal pirate. #DISCLABEL SOFTWARE BY SMILE FOR WINDOWS FULL# ![]() In our original post, we talked about the difference between the copyright, the software, the license, and the disc. A few years ago, we noted that copyright system supporters have spent decades blurring the lines between “the copyright” and “the content.” This plays out in all sorts of funny ways, including whether or not selling a piece of content is considered a sale or a license. In this case, the situation is fairly similar.Īs we’ve pointed out in the past, copyright proponents use a sort of Schrodinger’s Download setup, whereby they call it a sale or a license (and deny it’s the other) depending on which benefits them more. The fact that Lundgren was hoping to profit from selling convenience to refurbishing/repair shops does not, automatically, mean he broke the law. But many people seem to think that the profit motive alone proves the copyright infringement. #DISCLABEL SOFTWARE BY SMILE FOR WINDOWS LICENSE#īut… used book stores are for-profit entities selling copyright-protected materials all the time (without a license from copyright holder), and no one is locking them up as criminals. That’s not to say that Lundgren did the same thing as a used bookstore dealer, but merely to point out that the profit-motive alone does not prove infringement. Here, again, part of the issue is in how stupid copyright makes everything. #DISCLABEL SOFTWARE BY SMILE FOR WINDOWS LICENSE#. ![]()

Doing so will award the Shaman with "saves" for each mouse who completes the map, which are recorded onto the player's profile. The general objective of the Shaman is to help the other mice obtain the cheese and bring it back to the hole. When a player reaches the highest score on the scoreboard, they will become a Shaman in the next map involving one. Dying adds one point to a player's score on the scoreboard, no matter what time in the game it is or the cause of death. The timer will change to 20 seconds if the Shaman dies or there if are only two mice left on the map. Maps can instantly switch before the time limit if all players complete the map or die. Maps have a general time limit of two minutes, at which time a new map is loaded. Players are also given extra recognition in their stats for finishing first when there are eleven or more players in the room. Collecting cheese is recorded into a player's permanent stats when there are about 2 or more players in the room. Bonus points are awarded for players who place first, second or third. Players are awarded points on a scoreboard that is updated in real-time. The number of cheese and mouse holes varies between maps. After which, the player must take the collected cheese back to the map's mouse hole to finish. Players' mice must touch the cheese to collect it. Players control a mouse with the arrow keys or the WASD keys to run, duck, jump and perform various techniques, such as wall jumping, long jumping, turn arounds, and corner jumping. ![]() The main objective of the game is to collect a piece of cheese placed in at least one location on a map.

The fakeness Nunnari alludes to can also be problematic with tiki bars historically borrowing culture and iconography indiscriminately in service of an exotified escape. It’s an Americanized sort of thing-it’s kind of fake in that respect, which leaves a lot of room for you to put your own twist on it.” ![]() “These guys who came back wanted to think back on paradise.

In 2021, the owner of the waterfront building had invited Kelly to look at the space and propose a concept. “Three seconds after Mike walked out, I turned to my wife and said, ‘We have to do this.’” ![]() “I just love the idea of being able to brand a tiki bar, so it set off a spark in my head,” Nunnari says.
