Other consumer features coming include syncing local folders (Documents, Desktop, etc.) to Google Drive, and multi-account access. Other consumer features include Apple Photos library upload and connected USB storage support. Personal accounts and enterprise customers would be using the same Drive for desktop client with Google Photos backup added. The company followed that announcement by revealing how the consumer-focused Backup and Sync app is going away in 2021 for a unified approach. ![]() Drive File Stream for enterprise users was renamed to “Google Drive for desktop” in January. Original 7/2: Google has long had two desktop clients for backing up your data to its cloud. Starting in October, the old application will stop working. On August 18, these users will get an in-product prompt to transition. Meanwhile, enterprise customers next week will get a guided transition flow from Backup and Sync. One underlying speed improvement sees Drive for desktop directly appear in Google Photos rather than first upload to Google Drive and making a copy in Google Photos.Įxisting Backup and Sync users will be prompted to transition to Drive for desktop in the “coming weeks.” You have to upgrade by September 2021 or not files will stop uploading to Google’s cloud. Lastly, it will be better at syncing edited photos and support external storage (flash drives, SSDs, etc.) backup. This encompasses better support for the Photo Library on Apple computers, including media that is synced with iCloud. In offering one application for consumer and business users, the company added some frequently requested features, like improved compatibility for recent Mac and Windows versions. Update 7/12: With the rollout already under way for some users, Google today officially detailed the new Drive for desktop app on Mac and Windows. The new “Google Drive for desktop” that replaces “Backup and Sync” by adding automatic Google Photos upload is now appearing for some users. ![]() At the start of this year, Google announced that it was revamping its desktop client strategy for Drive.

![]() I'm glad that you enjoy the mod, thanks for praise. The stuff that I did with Harm Touch was only possible because both the Wraith and the Death Knight had code for it(even though it was not enabled in the DK's case). Abilities are hard coded for the most part and can't be changed yet. xdb files in the GameMechanics folder of the mod.īalance concerns aside, technical limitations prevent any of these suggestions at this time. If you want to change the stats yourself it's really quite easy. ![]() they are not a "Great" unit, but I've been happy with their performance so far. I gave them a bit more range and staying power to make them better suited for an assault role, charging into the enemy ahead of the slower troops. The originals were rather lame, but unless other aspects of Necro are nerfed to compensate, there is only so much that can be done without overpowering the faction. Defense, Speed, Health, Damage, all were given a small bump up with only a point of Attack being lowered in exchange. Since the Reaper is now a neutral badass unit, why not make it truly fearsome by giving it a nicer version of the ability our old dragons had (a -2 to the enemies´ morale), and adding a little more to its damage OR giving it the "No Retaliation" ability? Could the DreadKnight maybe carry a permanent +2 bonus to its Luck (+2 is ok: luck is not straight double damage anymore) as to try and match their old DeathBlow double damage? I think it would fix the problem and bring us back to the good old days. Could the regular cursing attack ability be added to the BloodKnight/DreadKnight´s stats? If the DK deadly strike was indeed too much for the town, the wraith-newDK´s dispelling power alone is too little. There is only one thing I am uncomfortable with, and if you agree perhaps you could help, because I´ve modded before, but couldn´t get nearly as deep as you did in H5.įact is, your efforts didn´t alter the ´stats` of the tier 6 in Necro town, which was reasonably considered weak by many many players. The choice of exchanging graphics and such also made the new wraith-in-DK-clothing very believable, and making the ´upgraded` unit wear the black armor was the coolest thing ever (I´ve tried to do it, but failed). Due to its more "mystical/ghostly" type, one could imagine it as a cool herald of death, and interpret its attacks as not exactly a strict scythe-to-the-face slaughter, but rather as an immaterial soul harvesting that eventually gets luckier. Yet I agree this scary ability fits a neutral unit, and I love what you Arstahd did to turn the Wraith into a 7th tier critter, armed with such power. With 62 Archdevils in your hands, you´d see half of them die from mysterious simultaneous heart attacks after one of them being scratched in the shanks by one DK. The new DK "deadly strike" ability replaces the good old double damage from H3 with the immensely-unbalancing, Heroes2-like, ludicrously-unreal capacity of killing a haffastack o´monsters with a single blow from a single knight. First I had used the old DK mod that was around a few weeks ago, but, as they were, those knights were too powerful to be generated and used by a player. ![]() ![]() I had tried modding the whole DK / Wraith situation and must thank Arstahd for the great mod. Send Instant Message | Send E-Mail | View Profile | Quote Reply | Link The mod is in PAK format, just copy to the Data folder to use. All relevant texts have been edited, Necro transformation should work, creatures will appear correctly from random spawn points on maps. The unused Black Knight makes an appearance as a Revenant, the Doom Reaper's downgrade, using the stock Wight graphics.Įverything should work properly to my knowledge. The neutral Death Knight (with Deadly Strike) has been remade into a Tier 7 neutral creature, the Doom Reaper, using Wraith-like graphics. The Blood Knight, like the Wight has none, and the Dread Knight has the Wraith's Harm Touch. Stats have been tweaked some, but abilities have not been changed. This mod replaces the graphics of the Necromancer's Wight and Wraith with those of dark knights. ![]() For that purpose, maintaining sente is essential. The only question that remains is to what extent the large territorial framework that Black possesses in the center of the board can be whittled down. White has solid positions all over the board. Please enable JavaScript to view this game. Rin playing Kato, from a photograph published in Kido, October 1977 An award is given every year for the most wins that professional players record, and the number is typically 15 or 16 consecutive wins. That remains a record, all the more impressive because Rin was facing the highest opposition at the time. The second interesting thing is that this was one of the 24 straight wins that Rin racked up in 1977. Kato Masao, Honinbo, in the top insert, Rin Kaiho 9 dan, center and Ishida Yoshio 9 dan, bottom, vied in 1977 to challenge Otake Hideo, Meijin (in color)Ī playoff would have been required to determine the challenger to Otake Hideo, Meijin. First, had Kato won this game, he, Rin and Ishida Yoshio would have been tied for first place in the league with identical 6-2 records. At the same time, Black stakes the game on the size of the large territorial framework that he builds in the center.Ī couple of things are incidentally interesting, even historically important about this game. In the present game, White establishes a large expanse of territory on the upper side, then on the lower side extending from the lower left corner, and finally taking a position on the right side, starting in the lower right corner. In fact, he had defeated Rin the year before to take the 10 Dan title with the Chinese Opening in the decisive 5 th Game. In those days, Kato was deadly when using that opening. The game starts with Kato Honinbo adopting the Chinese Opening with Black 1, 3 and 5 on the right side and Rin countering with the star point and 3-3 point moves on the left. White: Rin Kaiho 9 dan Black: Kato Masao, HoninboĢ nd Annual Meijin League final round, played on Augat the Nihon Ki-in, Ichigaya, Tokyo.

But first examine the following game and try to appreciate Rin’s skill without further introduction. ![]() That is, keeping up the pace of the game, throwing the opponent off balance by disrupting momentum in moves through their use, and maintaining the tempo of play at critical points.Īll of this will be demonstrated incontrovertibly in a moment. Rin Kaiho, shown above in a photograph published in the June 1975 issue of Kido magazine, was a consummate master of the art of controlling sente and gote in his games. Weak players most often lose their advantages in handicap games due to failing to appreciate the vital nature of sente and gote. This is the winning factor in the majority of games played. It is hard to overestimate the importance of this. Understanding the value of sente and gote is one of the realizations that a player has to come to in order to reach the level of shodan. ![]() ![]() Click on the Cross again, go back to the hands image and click on the Palette to return to painting mode.

Your friends shouldn’t even have to ask that question, it goes without saying. You’re not just good, you’re better than ever before! It can be seen in your face, you don’t even have to say it. How does it always turn out that the drunk friend you’re trying to get home is always the heaviest one or the toughest one to handle? Or is it all the alcohol in them that makes them weigh more… They fly from party to party, lighting up everyone’s night. $/$/$/$/$/$Ī highly functioning drunk is an achievement, not a lot of people can do it, most end up as regular alcoholics, but those few heroes that make it become legends. Therefore, you’re bound to make many, many more friends drunk than sober.

So the best way to get drunk is to plan it out so the following day you have nothing to do but pay off the debt of happiness with a killing hangover. Most people see old age as retirement from everything, fun included, but not you, you’re going to keep strong! ×271.jpg If you plan on being the party animal even 40 years from now, then you have to be doing something right.

But you do know you’ll be doing the exact same thing next weekend! –alcohol-help-alcohol-memes.jpg Sure, you might feel the effects of a hangover the following day, but you know getting drunk the night before was worth it, even though you deny it at first. Never allow yourself to get down, and you never will. It’s all about your attitude, you just can’t let the drinking affect you badly. Drunk Memes that Prove Drinking is Not a Problem You’ll probably find yourself in more than a few, so keep them in mind next time you plan on getting drunk. There’s nothing that captures those perfect, unspoken moments of drinking like these drunk memes. Still, most of us do it regardless of the potential outcome, it’s drink now, regret later.
