Cracked gamesĪfter CODEX’s retirement, few pirate groups could crack the DRM protection on the Blizzard storefront. Users can access the VR games on the Meta Quest 2 through sideloading. Note: Many VR games have also been cracked on PC and Quest 2. So here’s a list of all cracked games that had DRM protection in recent years. Over the years, pirate groups have been able to crack many games, including the ones with Denuvo protection. After CODEX’s retirement, there’s only one active pirate group that can crack Denuvo DRM games, and they are known as Empress.Įmpress has previously cracked games such as Dying Light 2, Marvel’s Guardians Of The Galaxy, Far Cry 6, Deathloop, etc. ![]() However, this process becomes more complicated if the game has an online requirement or Denuvo protection. Using these emulators, pirate groups can crack any offline game in minutes. Pirate groups like CODEX have also developed emulators for popular gaming storefronts like Steam and Epic Games Store. Games can be played with this crack file without the original license keys or authorization. The crack file is a patch or part of the game that has been reverse-engineered. This process leads to a crack or key generator. Pirate groups generally decrypt the copyright protection installed on the software and then reverse engineer the game. ![]() ![]() The people who were sickened most commonly reported using EzriCare brand eye drops, while some patients used multiple brands.Įye drops can cause infections in other parts of the body because the eye connects to the nasal cavity through the tear ducts and germs can move from the nasal cavity into the lungs. That represents one additional death and six additional patients with vision loss since the last tally in March. Four of those patients have died and 14 have reported vision loss, according to the agency. Health officials said the outbreak is linked to using artificial tears. What are the risks?Īs of May 15, the CDC had identified 81 patients across 18 states who had been infected by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. On January 20, the CDC told doctors to avoid recommending the EzriCare product. In January, testing confirmed the Florida cases were caused by the same bacteria strain as cases in California, Connecticut and Utah. Over the course of the year, other states received multiple reports of drug-resistant Pseudomonas, including a report of a Washington man who died after suffering bloodstream infection linked to over-the-counter eye drops. ![]() The institution also determined the bacteria is resistant to many antibiotics. The hospital that reported the first infection determined it was caused by the Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria, which can cause infections in the blood, lungs or other parts of the body. Local health officials identified several more cases in subsequent months, with patients reporting eyes inflamed with heavy yellow pus that obscured most of the pupil. How were problems with eye drops first detected?Īccording to the Associated Press, a patient in Los Angeles County, California, who had seen an ophthalmologist in the spring of 2022 developed an eye infection. ![]() Pharmedica warned that patients who use the contaminated eye drops can risk going blind, but the company said it has not received any reports of infection or illness related to its product. Pharmedica "Purely Soothing, 15% MSM Drops." Pharmaceutical firm Pharmedica USA on March recalled two lots of "Purely Soothing, 15% MSM Drops," also over sterility concerns. The company said it initiated the recall "out of an abundance of caution" over concerns that cracks in some of the units' caps could compromise the drops' sterility and lead to infection.Īn Apotex spokesperson said the company has observed four bottles with cracked caps and that there have been no reports of negative health outcomes related to the product. Apotex "Brimonidine Tartrate Ophthalmic Solution, 0.15%."

Several mini-games are more relaxed collecting activities, such as scuba diving (collecting trash underwater), fishing, mushroom hunting, and collecting dinosaur bones for the museum.

Snowball fights are played in several formats such as last man standing, team against team, hitting a number of targets in a limited time, or survival against multiple attackers. This activity is required for completion of Chapter 1. Skiing includes two types of events: fastest descent over several pistes, and freestyle where the goal is to perform the hardest jumps. The dirt track features dirt bike racing and freestyle, monster truck racing and car-crushing, and ice racing. One particularly long car race is 100 laps long and lasts for around 20 minutes, and there is also a similarly long boat race. On the water, there is boat racing and canoeing. Car racing is required for completion of Chapter 1. Entering harder races requires passing increasingly harder driving tests, which are a challenge by themselves. Karting, car racing and drifting take place on the race track. One of the activities required for progress in Chapter 1 of the storyline is golf, featuring matches from 3 to 9 holes. When Sasquatch is caught by the Island Ranger, he is brought to the ferry entrance. When Sasquatch is caught by the town police, he spends a night in jail and is released the next day at noon in-game. When Sasquatch is caught by rangers, he is thrown out of the area into any nearby forest clearing. Later in the game, Sasquatch obtains special outfits which prevent even authorities to recognize him.Įxcept being recognized as a Sasquatch, other unlawful acts like shoplifting, carjacking, stealing from the port or hitting people with a motor vehicle may trigger authorities to pursue Sasquatch. With disguise, regular people take Sasquatch for a human, while authorities like rangers or police still see through it. When Sasquatch does not wear any disguise, humans are afraid of him, and alert the authorities whenever they see him. Fishing is also a source of highly nutritious food. The food can be stolen from the campers, but later players get access to shops, a café, a diner and even a TV shopping channel where they can buy food instead. The raccoon feeds Sasquatch 2 hunger points, so Sasquatch pays 20 coins or all coins if Sasquatch has less than 20 coins. If Sasquatch stays with a completely empty stomach for several minutes, he falls unconscious and is dragged back to the house by the raccoon as well. To avoid this, Sasquatch needs to reach an available bed and sleep in it. If Sasquatch stays up too late without consuming cafe drinks or energy drinks, he falls asleep and wakes up in his main house, where the raccoon has dragged him to. The game time corresponds to real time as approximately one second for one minute, so the in-game daylight lasts for around 12 minutes.

There are also eight Gigabit Ethernet ports, which is double the number that similar routers provide. In terms of coverage, the four antennas that have been designed to optimize coverage and contribute towards ASUS’s claim that the RT-AC88U can provide a Wi-Fi signal up to 5,000 sq ft. Smart Connect also automatically connects your device to the best band available to help improve performance even further. This ensures you can enjoy a smooth streaming experience and low latency online gaming even when others are using the Wi-Fi.Īs you would expect with a gaming router, the RT-AC88U has MU-MIMO technology to provide compatible devices with its own dedicated full-speed Wi-Fi stream, allowing multiple devices to be connected at the same time without compromising network speed. The NitroWQAM technology built into the RT-AC88U helps prevent this by delivering combined speeds of up to 3,167 Mbps. ![]() When gaming, the last thing you want to see is lag or buffering. The ASUS RT-AC88U has certainly been designed with gamers in mind, but that’s not to say it doesn’t provide outstanding coverage, as it certainly does. If you want to configure your home network in greater depth, are lucky enough to receive ultrafast Internet speeds, have lots of wired devices, and don’t want your network to be connected to Google at all times, you may want to look at an alternative. So who is this mesh Wi-Fi for? I would recommend it for those who receive Internet speeds slower than 250 Mbps (which most of us do), have a large home and want a seamless connection in every room, and don’t want to have to deal with a complicated network setup. Google Wi-Fi isn’t the fastest router out there, but where it does shine is with its fantastic coverage and ease of setup of management. Many routers these days have modem functionality built-in, but this is not the case here. Your primary Wi-Fi point will need to be connected to a modem with an Ethernet cable, which is provided, in order to access the Internet. ![]() Something to keep in mind is that Google Wi-Fi is a router and not modem. In terms of parental controls, this mesh Wi-Fi system comes with some excellent ones such as the ability to pause the connection to the Internet on-demand or on a schedule, automatically block access to millions of adult websites, and manage multiple devices at once by setting up groups. Through this, it is easy to share your W-Fi password with guests, be able to see who is connected to your network, and prioritize devices amongst many other features. Google Wi-Fi is set up and configured through the companion app. This takes the hassle out of trying to optimize the connection for each device Google Wi-Fi does it for you automatically. The Network Assist technology that Google has implemented keeps your connection fast by always selecting the clearest wireless channel and fastest band for each of your devices. A single Wi-Fi point can cover up to 1,500 sq ft, so you can always add more should you need additional coverage. Google has introduced its own Wi-Fi system to provide a seamless Wi-Fi connection throughout your home whilst eliminating dead zones and that dreaded buffering we are all familiar with.Īs this is a mesh Wi-Fi system and is a 3 pack, you can expect the signal to be able to cover up to 4,500 sq ft. The Comparison Tableīest Routers for Whole House Coverage 1. It doesn’t offer the same speeds as other routers, but it does provide great coverage for a much smaller price. A more budget-friendly option is the TP-Link AC1750. Despite being suited more for gamers, it offers a great combination of speed, coverage, and features. If you don’t have much time, my favorite router for whole-house coverage is the ASUS RT-AC88U. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Luca recounts, “They’re just normal everyday girls.

I always say, ‘No sweetie, you didn’t come out first, I kicked you out first.’” “I mean, I did pop, uh, kick out of the womb, even though he came out seven minutes earlier. This prompts Luca to joke, “What are we, magicians?” to which Cooper responds, “If you want to get hippie-dippy trippy Chicken Noodle Soup for the Teenage Soul, then yeah, you know, it’s meant to be.” Like, we were destined to make magic together.” “With us working together, it’s kind of like all we’ve ever done,” says Cooper.

They also have a Glow Shape Tape line if you want even more radiance to your look. Your face will look more radiant and well-rested (fellow toddler moms, I see you). Highlighterīrighten your look by adding a lighter shade of concealer to the inner corners of your eyes, brow bones, cheekbones, down the center of your nose, and above your cupid’s bow. The most important step – blend! Buff out the product with a brush or makeup sponge and be sure not to leave any harsh lines. Just choose a darker shade than you normally would and apply to the hollows of your cheeks, jawline, nose, and temples to accentuate your bone structure. Concealers are a great way to get a creamy, easily blendable contour to sculpt your face and add dimension. The Tarte Shape Tape can also be used as a contour. This formula doesn’t rub off or settle into lines and will stay all day. If you purchase a slightly lighter color, it will also help brighten underneath your eyes to help you look more awake, no matter how much sleep you got the night before. Obviously, the concealer is perfect for covering any acne, blemishes, or uneven skin spots. There are many uses for this concealer, apart from the traditional way we all use concealer. I always prefer to have two shades of concealer on hand, one that’s my true skin tone to cover blemishes, and the other for brightening darker spots, like my under-eyes. Their shade range also comes in handy if you’re looking to find a pigment for contour or highlight. They have 36 shades for a variety of skin tones and undertones so almost anyone can find a perfect match. The natural oils in your skin will also help it blend. Even though the formula itself isn’t as hydrating as the Ultra Creamy Concealer, the ingredients still make it creamy so you can easily blend it out. Tarte Shape Tape uses shea butter to retain skin elasticity, mango seed butter to hydrate, and licorice root to correct discoloration and dark circles. Unlike so many other beauty brands on the market, Tarte products are always made without parabens, mineral oil, phthalates, triclosan, sodium lauryl sulfate, or gluten. ![]() It’s full coverage and will camouflage blemishes, dark circles, fine lines, or any other problem areas. The formula is waterproof and won’t budge, even if you’re doing something active. It uses tape technology (their proprietary formula) to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with a crease-proof formula for up to 16 hours. The Tarte Shape Tape Concealer is known for full coverage that lasts. However, if you have oily skin, you’ll likely love it. Although the original Shape Tape formula is a favorite for so many people, personally it’s a little too drying for my skin. I have since learned about its more hydrating counterpart – the Tarte Ultra Creamy Concealer – so that’s what I use now. Then, I learned that it designed for oily skin, and I have very dry skin. I never really understood the hype behind Shape Tape since I thought it was cakey and felt so heavy. It’s also worth noting that the shade range is incredibly inclusive, which is another reason it’s a fan favorite. The Tarte Shape Tape Concealer is wildly popular among women with oily skin types because of the matte finish and medium to full coverage it provides. I’m a huge fan of Tarte products because of their clean ingredients and trustworthy reputation, not to mention, their products just perform beautifully! This concealer is a holy grail product in the beauty community, so today I’m sharing my full review and whether or not I think it’s worth it! The cult favorite Tarte Shape Tape Concealer is a great concealer for oily skin because of its long-wearing matte coverage. For me, a quality concealer means it provides durable coverage without creasing or cakiness.
