Seeing as I've now played each character semi extensively, heres my quick take on all of them:įish - i never bother with the roll or getting the throne butt, but you really do get tons of ammo, esp with more drops. Melting is too damn squishy and the extra idpd from rogue always get me The hardest dang characters in the game for sure. The gun youre holding silly (primary) welp, in my attempt to unlock the second skin for fish (by looping with all characters) ive narrowed down to melting and rogue. The Throne as well, an impossible-to-miss bullet sponge that makes you play a relatively stately bullet hell. The enemies are big, slow-moving and even when it gets bullet hellish, the shots move so slowly. The slugger (especially the gatling slugger) also takes that role of accurate one-shot kills on most enemies.Īfter the hectic Lil' Hunter fight on 5-3 and the panicked "Find the necromancer before you run out of ammo" on 6-1, I find 7- to be downright chill. I've carried a golden crossbow to the Throne more than once, hell I once played Steroids with Strong Back Muscles and two basic crossbows. Random thoughts: I love love love basic crossbows. to the chest and pick up the crossbow to set it as his golden weapon: duplication! If you store Robot's golden crossbow in it, Robot loses the crossbow on that playthrough, but it's sitll set as Robot's golden weapon for next time. The Proto chest is a good way to distribute golden weapons. The weapon you put in the chest is saved across playthroughs and characters, so you can give it to a later character. If you enter a Crown Vault with a crown, you find the Proto Chest, which lets you swap your current weapon for whatever's in the chest. Once you loop you get access to more advanced crowns in the vaults. If you beat the Throne with a crown, you permanently unlock that crown as a starting crown for that character. It and helldivers are scratching a maddening twinstick shooter itch i never knew i had.Īlso in regards to spoilers about this game, i won't say anything without a tag other than just go look at the goddamn wiki, there is way too much obscure shit to figure out on your own, also it makes the revolver sound and shakes the screen whenever you click anywhere on the page. I just go full zen flow state on it whilst listening to podcasts. Recently its basically the only game i play. I initially wasnt too hot on the game back in early access and woul only play it occasionally, but since release (and gamepad support! yay!) i started playing it a bit heavier, and then after beating the game once and then unlocking all the characters (with help from the wiki) ive resolved to try to go for all the B skins as well, as insane a venture as that might be (only got em for YV and robot so far). I have a feeling people are much more focused than me here. I play it a lot like I play Diablo- as a fun way to be mindless. Getting the recycle gland and all the other ammo sustain abilities with steroids and just unloading on everything with two miniguns is extremely satisfying. My absolute weapons of choice, however, are things that shoot tons of bullets - if i have an accuracy upgrade - such as the triple machinegun or minigun, seeker weapons, and lightning weapons. On that note, steroids is especially not good with golden guns, unless they fire bullets, as he only swaps out one of his revolvers, not both, and if its a grenade launcher then he'll start with zero revolver ammo.Įxplosives i use pretty regularly if i come across anythign that isnt the basic grenade launcher, and theyre less risky for me as ive taken to picking up boiling veins to go aggressive on lil hunter without having to worry about his dang jetpack flames. Robot is especially great once you get a golden gun for him, as he eats em for four times the bonus of a regular gun (5 times with throne butt), so its nice to have a little nest egg for when you need it in the mid game.

Although they follow the same basic strategy, YNAB allows you to do far more than just budget and is the best choice for those who need complete money management support. The YNAB app will cost you $14.99 a month after a 34-day free trial period or $99 a year, and there is no free version. Unlike Goodbudget, YNAB offers automatic syncing of accounts, net worth updates and a loan calculator. Just as you’d put your money into envelopes with Goodbudget, you’ll assign different roles for your income with YNAB. You Need A Budget or YNAB is a well-known budgeting app that uses the zero-based budgeting system, which the envelope method also follows. The app doesn’t have features like investment portfolio performance, credit score monitoring, net worth tracking or suggestions for financial products that may benefit you. The app also has helpful content and how-to videos on how to maximize the capabilities of the app to help users achieve their financial goals. It is a simple app with few frills to help users get and stay out of debt by using the tried-and-true envelope system. Goodbudget competes well against other budgeting apps. Here is a breakdown of the available features, and the differences between the free and paid versions: Paying for Goodbudget Plus provides expanded capabilities, compared to the free version. You can use the app entirely for free, and be able to access nearly all of the same functions without paying for them. Goodbudget offers two different plans: a free version and a paid subscription known as Goodbudget Plus. When shopping for a budgeting app, digital security measures are essential because of the sensitive financial information used within the app. Goodbudget is secured using 256-bit encryption, which is a similar encryption level to other financial institutions. In the app, there are easy-to-read graphs that can help you understand your spending habits. Goodbudget provides excellent reporting tools to show your income against your spending, and how it varies month to month. That doesn’t mean the old-school envelope system is unusable-to mimic the physical envelope filled with currency, Goodbudget came up with digital envelopes.īy using the envelope system, you can achieve financial milestones, such as paying off debt or saving up for a large expense-like a down payment on a home. Consumers carry less physical cash, and some businesses no longer accept cash. The rise of cashless payments presents a new obstacle to the envelope system. The envelope system is designed to let you know how much money is allocated to each expense, along with how much is saved each month. The Goodbudget app is based on using the envelope system, known as Kakeibo, which means “household account book” in Japanese. You also can’t connect investment accounts, credit cards or loans. Instead, you’ll record your transactions manually or import them by uploading a supported file. Goodbudget doesn’t sync with your bank accounts, as many other budgeting apps do to automate tracking. Goodbudget encourages you to take control of your budget and, for this reason, does not track your spending for you. It’s important to note that this app does not integrate with other tools or accounts. Goodbudget users can register a Household when creating an account and use this login across multiple devices. If you’re sharing your budget, all changes to envelopes sync automatically. To do this in the app, you’ll update envelope balances every time you move money. Then, you remove money from an envelope after spending it. The app has you place your income into different envelopes with categories like debt payoff, child-related expenses, transportation and groceries. Goodbudget is based on the envelope or cash-stuffing budgeting system, which requires you to allocate every dollar of your paycheck to a purpose. We do wonder, indeed, if the Alt-Cmd override trick is actually allowing us to access features that are not officially supported by the hardware, and thus A Bad Idea. And so for the time being, we advise caution when rotating build-in MacBook screens, and wouldn’t recommend this for anyone who isn’t confident about their ability to fix problems that arise. So this solution appears to be a good one, but it’s apparently too late for the author’s brother, whom Apple Support were unable to help over the phone and who has had to make an appointment to visit a technician in person. Holding Alt + Cmd while selecting System Preferences > Displays and then changing the Rotation setting for the built-in screen back to Standard took us back to square one, with no repeat of the black screen problem. We tried it and it did indeed fix our problem, leaving us with a normal external monitor and a built-in laptop monitor rotated 90 degrees. The author of the above-linked thread has found that pressing Shift + Cmd + Q followed by E, to return to the login screen, has a similar effect. Some workarounds most users find that shutting down the laptop and restarting fixes the problem and leaves the laptops screen in the desired rotation. This issue has been reported elsewhere, as have MacOS Sierra, and with a second external monitor attached and set as the primary display) and got a different but also problematic result: the laptop screen went completely black, and the Displays section of System Preferences (viewed via the external monitor) no longer recognised the existence of the laptop screen, even though the laptop itself was clearly still working. We tried to replicate the issue on our workhorse MacBook Pro (13-inch 2015 model, running The author’s brother did this but then found his MacBook (12-inch 2016 model, running macOS Sierra) became completely unusable: “It’s gone into a loop of glitch screens and crashes… I can’t see anything on the screen, so can’t get into System Preferences to change it back, then it crashes.” My rotated MacBook screen has gone black! Some people have found that while rotating the screen on a MacBook can be achieved by holding down Alt and Cmd while selecting Displays from System Preferences, this then causes serious problems afterwards. Your mileage may vary.)īe warned that when we’ve used this override to make the Rotation setting appear for a laptop’s built-in screen (as we will outline later in this article) we got into difficulties, and we wonder if the Alt + Cmd override is causing System Preferences to present an option that isn’t officially supported by the hardware. (Some people report that just holding down Alt + Cmd while opening Displays does the trick, but we’ve found that you need to do so while opening System Preferences too. Hold down Alt and Cmd while clicking System Preferences’ icon and then keep holding it while clicking the Displays icon, and you may well see a Rotation setting that wasn’t there before. However, in earlier versions of Mac OS X, the Rotation field doesn’t appear automatically, and we’ve found that even in macOS Sierra, System Preferences can be forced to offer a Rotation setting even if it didn’t do so automatically. If Rotation isn’t listed under Displays then you’re probably out of luck. Generally speaking, the Rotation field appears if your hardware supports this feature, and is hidden if it doesn’t. You can rotate each one separately if you wish and the hardware supports it.) What if the Rotation setting doesn’t appear? Got two screens then two windows will appear at this point: one for each display. So we also explain in the MacBook section of this article why we don’t recommend rotating a laptop’s built-in screen. (Then again, there aren’t a lot of situations in which you’d want to.) For those who are desperate to rotate a MacBook’s built-in screen we have found a workaround that works, but it has side effects, sometimes causing a persistent minor problem (for which we have a fix) and on at least one occasion that we are aware of, a much more serious problem for which we do not have a fix. Fortunately this part of the process is very straightforward, and we walk through this process below.īe aware that not all monitors can be rotated, and in our experience this works better for external monitors than for the built-in display of a laptop. Physically, turning round the display is obviously just a question of accessing the screen mount and rotating it if this is possible, but you’ll also need to access the software settings and tell macOS (or Mac OS X) to output the graphics in a view that’s rotated 90 degrees clockwise or anti-clockwise (or even 180 degrees, if for some reason you want to use your display upside-down). Unless you're some kind of well-heeled private equity chud who Airbnbs Noah's Ark when yachting in the Mediterranean, then you haven't experienced a woodsy getaway like Oddwood Ales' stylized staycation winter cabin interior, antiquity Italian cuisine, and some of the best wood-driven ales this side of Portland. So why not do it on the company's dime over at Austin's hottest, hop-crunching beer factory, which also doubles as a scooter apocalypse safe space on a large hill in far East Austin? Don't sleep on Tahitian Dreamin', a Citra, Centennial, and Simcoe-laced baddie that will set the digital marketing dude alight with good energy for his nightcap karaoke rendition of "Killer Queen." If you were coming for "Wood Is Good: Upcycling Your Own Yellowstone" Will you have an IPA during SXSW? Yes, you will. If you were coming for "From IPO to IPA: The Work Gang Goes to Happy Hour" So, ditch the convention center early and check these out instead. We've put together a list of platinum-level newer and undiscovered beer joints that the 2018 jerks probably missed while waiting in line for hot scorpion yoga.
