![]() They want to have all of their money and remain in power, and spend the money.Congress returns to Washington today in an unsettled political environment that will serve as the backdrop for a robust year-end push on spending, taxes and, potentially, raising the debt limit. In the old days, if you weren’t killed by your political foes, you took a billion dollars, went off to the French Riviera, and disappeared. “There’s been a change in the way autocrats and wannabe autocrats like Donald Trump have ended their careers. “I’ve had a lot of experience with autocrats, despots and third-world potentates, so I got to see how these people behave,” Nance said. Ultimately, Trump will spend his final days in the White House trying to avoid looking like a loser or a failure, analysts say. He’s willing to do a lot of stuff for Trump, but he didn’t want to go to jail. “Why has the postmaster general kind of backtracked?” Stevens asked of Louis DeJoy, the Republican donor who many believe was installed in an attempt to cripple the mail-in vote. “What will stop him is fear of prison,” Stuart Stevens, a veteran Republican consultant, told Salon. Not all experts believe a Trump “lame duck” presidency will be completely volatile. “Americans who want to see the rule of law restored and strengthened must be ready to fight for it, in the courts and in the streets if necessary, peacefully but persistently, because there is little doubt that Trump and his supporters will not go quietly.” “Trump will likely spend his last months in a flurry of self-dealing, tossing out pardons and trying to discredit his opponents and the system itself,” said Garry Kasparov, the former world chess champion and chair of the Human Rights Foundation. “Anything which benefits him personally, anything that benefits what he believes is his brand, he will do.” “He’s a compromised person, a broken asset of a foreign power, and has been under the thrall, the pay, or most likely the debt of Vladimir Putin,” Nance said. That means Trump has a shortening window of opportunity to prepare for whatever legal consequences may await. Trump will soon lose the protection of Bill Barr, the attorney general whom critics have accused of acting like the president’s personal lawyer. The Manhattan district attorney’s office has been investigating Trump and his business empire for possible criminal bank and insurance fraud, but has been unable to take action while he is in office. There will be new scrutiny on Trump’s own financial dealings. We’re going to find out … whether they rise up en masse and say we don’t accept this, Donald Trump’s our man, and they start parading and taking over boards of elections.”ĭisgraced Trump associates who have fallen foul of the law could also be beneficiaries of the outgoing president’s benevolence, among them his former campaign chair Paul Manafort, former national security adviser Michael Flynn and Steve Bannon, the architect of Trump’s 2016 victory currently facing fraud charges. “All these 100-truck convoys may start marching like they’re going into Mosul,” he said. Nance’s main concern is the possibility of civil unrest, from Trump supporters including armed militias, white supremacists and other activists fired up by perceived calls-to-arms by their leader. While a flurry of executive actions to further roll back environmental and industrial regulations is possible, analysts believe a beaten Trump will be less motivated by politics and more focused on himself. He has always fixed things in his life, and he now believes he owns the American judicial system.” “He expects the supreme court to cover for him. Absolutely no question about that,” Nance said. Self-preservation in the face of mounting legal and financial pressures will be paramount, Nance believes, with the president pushing his executive and constitutional powers to the limit or beyond. Nance’s fears are based as much on Trump’s past record, such as failing to take any steps to counter the spread of Covid-19, as what he may yet do. Who knows what a cornered autocrat will do?” He may decide he wants to go out with a bang, he may decide he will not accept the election result. “We’re likely to see the greatest political temper tantrum in history. “If Trump loses power he’ll spend his last 90 days wrecking the United States like a malicious child with a sledgehammer in a china shop,” said Malcolm Nance, a veteran intelligence analyst and political author, speaking before the result of the election was known. But Trump’s defeat also sets the clock ticking on the remaining weeks that some analysts believe could be the most dangerous period in American history, the time before the 20 January inauguration of Joe Biden during which a vengeful president can wreak havoc if he choses to do so.

![]() She also wasn’t an outlaw at all, having been known for her fighting skills and gunslinging protection to ward off mail thieves. For example, she was the second woman to work for the USPS as a star route carrier, with her nickname coming from the fact that she traveled by stagecoach. Stagecoach Mary was also famous for so many more accomplishments than depicted. When it was announced that Joker's Sophie actress Zazie Beetz would be playing Mary, many accused the film of colorism, citing the fact that the real-life woman had a much darker complexion. She’s depicted as having an off-and-on romance with Nat Love, but is better known for her fearless exploits before joining his gang. ![]() In The Harder They Fall, Stagecoach Mary is a renowned outlaw who previously ran with the Nat Love gang before opening her own bar in Douglastown. He also wasn’t the leader of a town nor killed by Nat Love, Instead, Rufus Buck met his demise when he and his gang were hanged by a judge in July 1896 (via Oklahoma Historical Society). As a half-Black, half-Cherokee 18-year-old, Buck’s crimes were driven by his hope of extinguishing white supremacy and reclaiming the Territory for indigenous people. Buck didn’t have the same power and notoriety in the real Old West as he did in Netflix's 2021 movie, plus he was only a teenager, had no relations to Nat Love, nor a vendetta for his own father. In real life, Idris Elba’s character did truly lead the Rufus Buck gang from 1895-1896, a group of five men who robbed country stores and killed several people during their short crime spree. The opening scene in The Harder They Fall shows Rufus murdering Nat’s mother and father, only for the movie’s ending to reveal they were half-siblings, and Rufus was getting revenge on their father. The Harder They Fall depicts Rufus Buck as a brutal gang leader and brief prisoner, having gone into the criminal life after years of being abused by his father. A decade later, The Harder They Fall's real historical figure decided to quit the cowboy life, where he lived the rest of his life in California as a security guard and courier (via ). He became an excellent marksman and cowboy, with his most famous exploit being an escape from a Pima tribe that captured him, though he noted that the tribe wanted to adopt him into their group due to their respect for his heritage. Love had a gift for breaking horses, so he headed west to work cattle drives. The Harder They Fall also doesn’t mention that Nat Love was born into slavery before being emancipated, having been taught to read (which was against the law) by his father. In real life, Jonathan Majors' character was known for taking part in the legendary Black cowboy cattle drives in the 1870-80s, where his run-ins with death and gunslinger were based on confrontations with Indigenous tribes. For starters, Love’s exploits as a cowboy didn’t begin until well after the Civil War ended and he was never actually an outlaw or gang leader. Here’s how much of the movie accurately portrays what happened to the characters and the events it explores.Īside from Nat Love being a notorious cowboy in the Old West, the events in The Harder They Fall aren’t too faithful to his real life. The overall story is original and crafted by Jeymes Samuel, but many events are inspired by occurrences from the characters' real lives. ![]() While The Harder They Fall’s characters typically come from real figures, most were active as outlaws or cowboys in very different times, so the gangs overlapping in the film is fictional. Related: Every Fall 2021 Movie & TV Show Coming To Netflix While the specific story being told in Jeymes Samuel’s movie doesn’t necessarily come from a corresponding historic event, the experiences of The Harder They Fall’s characters are inspired by real occurrences and the lives of Black cowboys and outlaws in the Old West. This isn’t a revisionist history like Django Unchained it’s taking the true stories of 19th-century American Black cowboys and outlaws and placing them in a fictionalized scenario. The Harder They Fall largely depicts fictional events, with nearly every character in the Netflix movie is based on a real-life historical figure. ![]() Then grab a workout in our state-of-the art fitness center.

The Hiranya Varna Mahavihar located in Patan is one example. Guanyin is also beloved and worshipped in the temples in Nepal. Guanyin is beloved by most Buddhist traditions in a nondenominational way and found in most Tibetan temples under the name Chenrézik ( Wylie: Spyan ras gzigs). The oldest one of them is the Saigoku Kannon Pilgrimage, a pilgrimage through 33 temples with Guanyin shrines. In Japan, there are several pilgrimages associated with Guanyin. There is a 33 temple Guanyin pilgrimage in Korea which includes Naksansa. Putuoshan is the main pilgrimage site in China. There are several pilgrimage centers for Guanyin in East Asia. Japan's Potalaka is located at Fudarakusan-ji. Naksansa is considered to be the Potalaka of Guanyin in Korea. In Chinese Buddhism, Mount Putuo is considered the bodhimaṇḍa of Guanyin. With the localization of the belief in Guanyin, each area adopted their own Potalaka. Guanyin's abode and bodhimaṇḍa in India is recorded as being on Mount Potalaka. Several large temples in East Asia are dedicated to Guanyin, including Shaolin Monastery, Longxing Temple, Puning Temple, Nanhai Guanyin Temple, Dharma Drum Mountain, Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho Temple, Shitennō-ji, Sensō-ji, Kiyomizu-dera, Sanjūsangen-dō, and many others. ![]() Guanyin is often referred to as the "most widely beloved Buddhist Divinity" with miraculous powers to assist all those who pray to her, as is mentioned in the Pumen chapter of Lotus Sutra and Kāraṇḍavyūha Sūtra. Some Buddhists believe that when one of their adherents departs from this world, they are placed by Guanyin in the heart of a lotus, and then sent to the western pure land of Sukhāvatī. Guanyin is short for Guanshiyin, which means " Perceives the Sounds of the World." On the 19th day of the sixth lunar month, Guanyin's attainment of Buddhahood is celebrated. She was first given the appellation "Goddess of Mercy" or "Mercy Goddess" by Jesuit missionaries in China. She is the East Asian representation of Avalokiteśvara ( Sanskrit: अवलोकितेश्वर) and has been adopted by other Eastern religions, including Chinese folk religion.

Yes, that internet.ĭid you know that Will Crowther built the first text-adventure game around muddy little maps he’d made with his wife? Inspired by 60’s style AI (known as ELIZA) and made as a bonding exercise with his young daughters, ADVENT (as it was known at the time) would be one of the first viral games, as it spread across the ARPANET, shutting down entire departments for weeks at a time, as people were so entranced with the depth, light whimsy, and whisps of Dungeons & Dragons style fantasy. Over 300,000,000 years ago, water started tricking through some limestone, eventually carving what is currently known to be the longest known, connected cave system on the planet: Mammoth Cave, in Kentucky, USA.ĭid you know that the woman who made this discovery was a tiny programming caver, named Patricia Crowther?

You'll laugh, you'll puzzle, and you might even scream, but we promise: you won't want to leave. So, prepare to embark on an exhilarating journey into the past, all the while reveling in the groundbreaking advancements of modern gaming technology.

Be it the Oculus Quest 2, Rift, or Rift S, Valve Index HMD, or any other VR headset compatible with Steam, you're all set to dive into the cavernous depths and experience this enchanting virtual reality. Now for the grand finale: Colossal Cave VR isn't restricted to any particular headset. For those of you who already possess Colossal Cave on Steam, you'll find the game updating itself the next time you log in (although, if you've opted out of automatic updates, you'll need to take a moment to manually initiate the update). You might be wondering, "But how can I upgrade my existing game?" We've got you covered. Most untethered headsets can only dream of delivering this level of detailed immersion. The enhanced visual and auditory VR experience elevates the classic game into an entirely new plane, transforming the mystical underground universe into a tangible, touchable reality. Harnessing the raw power of Steam VR, we're now able to render the game's scale and depth with unprecedented detail and realism. The reimagined Colossal Cave is a sprawling, vast entity, boasting mammoth caverns and seemingly endless mazes. We've managed to blend comfort, mystery, and excitement in one potent mix- a recipe we hope you will savor. This ensures a more comfortable experience, as you traverse the colossal chambers and labyrinthine mazes, without compromising on the thrilling aura of the game. After receiving reports of some players experiencing seasickness within the cavernous depths of the game, we've introduced a brand-new teleportation-style locomotion system. Welcome back to the mystifying, magical caves- only this time, you won't just be reading about them, you'll be living them. We've gone above and beyond, bringing this classic to life in a highly detailed, fully immersive three-dimensional experience, while preserving the core elements that made the original so captivating. Journey back in time to the golden age of text-based games, now crafted into a vibrant, sensory-rich VR environment that surpasses anything you could've imagined. After months of relentless labor, an avalanche of creative thinking, a steady stream of community feedback, and an excitingly engaging approach to user interaction, we are thrilled to announce the re-release of the iconic text-adventure game, "Colossal Cave Adventure" on SteamVR! Today marks a momentous occasion, a confluence of technological innovation and a nostalgic nod to the origins of digital gaming. ![]() Note: you will notice some visual artifacting on the menu screens. If you have any constructive feedback for how else I could improve the game's appearance, do let me know it is difficult to get a one-size-fits-all preset for every time and season of the game. If you are the fiddly type, all of the shader settings are at your disposal to adjust to your liking. ReShade can not automatically switch based on the game's weather profile. Please note: you will have to manually switch to the rain preset when playing in a wet environment. If you find the regular presets too taxing on your system, try switching to the LOW profiles instead. Select TSW - General.ini or TSW - Rain.ini like so: Click on the banner at the top to open a list of presets. Next time you launch TSW, press the "Home" buttom on your keyboard to bring up the ReShade menu where you can choose between presets. If Windows asks if you want to replace any files, say yes. (If you had downloaded any previous versions, please delete all files/folders related to them from your directory at this point.)Įxtract all of the files within "Drop in Win64 folder" to the same directory as "TS2Prototype-Win64-Shipping.exe" (your ReShade installation location). Now that you've got that out of the way, go ahead and install the shader presets. That's it! You should now see the ReShade banner pop up at the top of your screen next time you launch TSW.ReShade will automatically download its shader library This should be located within your Steam folder somewhere around ".\steamapps\common\Train Sim World\WindowsNoEditor\TS2Prototype\Binaries\Win64\" Locate "TS2Prototype-Win64-Shipping.exe" within your TSW installation.Open the program as administrator and press "Click here to select a game.".The latest release of ReShade breaks this for some reason, so an older version is included in the zip. You will need to have ReShade hooked to TSW for this to work. You will still get full reflections on the Rain preset. In this most recent update, I have included respective LOW presets for those who find their GPU struggling with the complete shader set. You are absolutely able to adjust the sliders to your own preferences, but these are the settings I have found to look the best for my system. I will probably continue adjusting things ad infinitum, but someone in the community had the bright idea of sharing this with anyone who wants to use it in their game. As you can see, it is subtle, but I like the outcome: Here are some sample screenshots with the before/after look. This means that it is not a magical fix for all of TSW's lighting issues, but I believe it helps to relieve a few of them. A rain preset the include all of the above plus slight lighting tweaks and more screen-space reflections (fixes dry platforms on newer routes).MXAO ambient occlusion to make locomotive cabs feel more 3D.Ambient lighting upgrade with adaptive brightness/gamma to counteract TSW's overexposure.Slight blueish tint overall ambient light as the blue spectrum is well-represented by real sunlight.Colour Curves to make the colours appear less. ![]() DepthHaze (distance haze) to make the distance scenery (particularly mountains) appear with the slight blue-ish tint observed from light refraction in earth's atmosphere.HDR filter to balance the ambient lighting and prevent the "washed-out" appearance (particularly at mid-day, though this hasn't been completely resolved yet).Think of it as akin to Alpenfreights simple weather mod, for those who play TS2020. Hello there! I've been working on a ReShade preset to make the lighting in TSW come to life and feel a bit more natural than what is offered by default.
