The mechanic that makes this and the basegame lack is having to run FAR TOO OFTEN. To my suprise, it wasnt nearly as fun as the base game. After beating the base game, I was so excited to jump in and beat whistleblower. It is an interesting plotline, however, I feel the game falls way way short. Oh well.ġh 57m PlayedMeh, the game looks at the story of the man that leaked the information and sent the email to the main character of the base game. Instead, it seems contemptuous to the player to make them shell out extra money for what is essentially another part of the same story that should have been included in the first place. Why is it DLC? Wouldn't it have been ten-times better had it been edited into the base game? It would have gone a long way to rectifying that lack of variety. Even though "Whistleblower" went that little bit extra, I still hesitantly recommend it. The entire climactic sequence with him was grislier & more atmospherically-effective than anything the original threw at you. Special mention also needs to go to the DLC's best new villain: a sad, lonely guy who just really, REALLY wants to be loved. It had a gripping playable prologue in the "Half-Life" vein, and an excellent outdoor area with some non-linear exploration & first-person platforming thrown in for variety (I actually like first-person platforming, so there). Taking place before, during, and after the events of the first game, you play a different character from a different perspective of the asylum (trying to keep things spoiler-free), and by going this route it actually helps to explain much of what happened off-screen in the original without the need for mindless exposition in the form of collectables. But the plot is miles-ahead of the original. The mechanics are the same - nothing's changed: you're still going to be running away & hiding from rubber-banding enemies while you flip switches & film everything with a grainy night-vision camcorder with the shoddiest battery life ever. But not sadly, because this DLC is, incredulously, better than the main game. Sadly, though, I did feel I had to play the DLC too, since I paid for it. Boring, repetitive gameplay loop with a nonsensical plot and zero effective scares. Honestly, I probably should have just waited, since the original went on sale solo recently for two-bucks: an even better deal, if you take into account that Outlast was, for myself, a disappointing experience. 2h PlayedI bought the original "Outlast" as a bundle with this DLC, since at the time it was the cheapest option.

Our trained team can perform a full rotation and inspection of all your tires, including the spare.

This means that the Element Hub dock I use it with - providing 60W of power - always charges and keeps the Mac at 100%. My M1 Max 16" is almost always in clamshell mode connected to 2 monitors at my desk. Hope you get it resolved.I just found out AlDente Pro is included with my Setapp subscription, so I decided to try it. Make sure coconutBattery is reporting good capacity on your battery.īout all I can think of. When I get a new device, I end up using it 3-4 hours more a day than usual - this sometime distorts my "battery life" expectations. What can you do if you're just using native apps? It takes a few days for my 100+ GB photos library to sync. I have to gauge my own "x hours" against my own usage otherwise it isn't comparing like usage. A lot of these are heavily biased and due to people liking their device. I usually ignore the "I get X hours" screen on time. Who knows, it could be a defective unit as well - especially if it's hot and high CPU usage. That M1 should be sipping battery with native apps with almost no usage. If you're using just native apps and only getting 6 hours - I'd start looking at activity monitor and figuring out what's using the CPU. User B pops out iBooks and reads on a black background with brightness at 20% with an occasional Youtube video with headphones saying they get 12+ hours of battery life. For example: User A will game heavily on their phone at 100% brightness while streaming music or YouTube saying they only get 6 hours of screen on time. Any attempt at prolonging the life is seen as way too inconvenient.Įveryone uses their computer differently. Most people see a battery as a disposable item that is meant to be used. I'm attaching Coconut Battery readouts for my iPad Pro and MacBook to see what are more realistic results - or am I just jinxed?Ĭoconut Battery does work on the M1 MaxBook Pro in its latest update, BTW. I can't understand how the poster who said his MacBook has only about 15 cycles on the battery after years of usage. And I don't even know how long my 12" MacBook would last on batteries compared to when it was new because I've unplugged it so seldom. The iPad Pro now has a battery life of about four hours. (When I send it in again, I'm going to take multiple photos with a ruler resting on it first!) I had to escalate that to a senior level in order to get it back without the extra $600 charge. Apart from the inconvenience of being without it, Apple claimed the iPad was bent (it wasn't and isn't) and wanted $599 to fix that in addition to the battery replacement. The last time my iPad Pro went to Apple for a battery replacement was only a year and a half ago. And if battery replacement could still be done by the user. Honeslly I'd have more of a "use it up and throw it away" mentality if I didn't have so many devices and didn't like to keep them for a long time. Thanks for the good comments! I've been accused of obsessing over battery life, but I don't think that's quite fair (look at electric car owners if you want battery life obsession). Most of my Apple devices are used 90-100% and after several years they do pretty well on the capacity vs design capacity scale. This is really the first year I've ever been able to do the 40-75% (or 40-85%) because I'm at home all the time. As this post (in this thread) states: #14 Of course you get less usage out of your battery that you paid for - but it does extend the life significantly. I've read Buchmann's book several times and love his website: īattery University clearly states batteries will last longer when used 40-75%. Hopefully something like this comes out for the M1 soon!īatteries are a hobby of mine. Every now and then I'll set it to 100% for a day then back to 55-85% (Usually 70%+). I use AlDente on my 2020 MBP 13' to keep the battery around 85% since I use it as a desktop these days (virus). Any attempt at prolonging the life is seen as way too inconvenient.ĭoes coconutBattery work? - I've used this to monitor my batteries for years now.

The overlapping section of the diagram is for the similarities between the two topics. A Venn Diagram is a chart with two or more overlapping circles, one for each topic’s specific qualities.

How to Write a Compare and Contrast Essay These words will help add a fluid transition between thoughts so that the reader isn’t confused by which point you are trying to emphasize. Signal words allow the reader to understand that the author is shifting from one topic to another as well as the relationship between them. However, it would be more effective if you compared and contrasted something like gasoline prices during a presidential campaign or an election with the cost of gas at another time.Īnother essential element of a compare and contrast essay includes specific phrases known as signal words. Put simply, if you were to compare and contrast these two items, there wouldn’t be anything to write about. For example, a compare and contrast essay that examines the relationship between a political figure and the price of gas won’t be very effective because the two topics are entirely unrelated. To do this, students must choose two topics related to each other to draw comparable and contrasting points of view. Unlike other types of essays that talk about one subject or are designed to convince readers of something, a compare and contrast essay has one specific goal – to show the relationship between two objects or ideas.

Give them the basic understanding of an essay first. “Write in complete sentences.” “Remember your capitals and periods.” “Don’t forget to use adjectives – I need lots of describing words!” “Make your topic sentence really snazzy!” Well, people, I’ve found that cramming all of those writing concepts into our kids at once only causes our kids to be self-conscious about their writing skills. So often, I think as teachers, we try to push a ton of writing concepts into their heads at one time.
