![]() When playing online Lag is the fault of a poor connection to the internet. Just because your ‘Tropico 4’ game is lagging does not mean that your game is faulty. GUIDE: Complete Guide on Preventing Corrupt Data and Save Files 3: “Tropico 4 lagging errors and issues.Īlthough ‘Lag” seems to be the number one problem in today’s online gaming it is not always the blame of the game. Attempt to transfer the save file by using a memory card to another hard-drive and try to ‘Tropico 4’ save on another console. ![]() If you believe that the save file is not the case and it may be your hard-drive. Also you can attempt to revert back to an earlier save file before your game was corrupted. ![]() However some gamers have suggested that if you clear your system cache then it will allow you to load the save file. Solution: There is no real way of fixing a corrupt save file. GUIDE: How To Format Your XBox One Hard-Drive / How To Format Your PS4 Hard-Drive Doing so will result in your save file most likely becoming corrupt, un readable and un fixable. Once you begin to save or during the auto-save period DO NOT switch the console off. It is an annoyance but save files can become corrupt if you turn off your console while it is saving your progress. If your ‘Tropico 4’ game is freezing on the loading screen just after you load your previous safe then this may indicate that either there is a fault with your hard drive or with the save file itself. 2: “Tropico 4 freezing on loading my save file” This will clear up any issues which are connected with a bad install. To ensure that this is not the case be sure to try and re-install the game or re-download the game and try again. If the game does not require a Disc and it runs off a pre installed file which is located on a hard drive (Example: The PS VITA) then the fault may lie with a corrupt installation file. GUIDE : Check out our complete guide on how to fix un-readable discs and laser burns. If the game loads once it is installed it will not require the disc so much as you play. If this fails borrow a friends copy of ‘Tropico 4’, Install the game, and then try your damaged disc to see if the game will load. You can try taking it to your local game store if they have a disc buffer which will hopefully buff the mark out. There is no easy solution to fixing a Laser Burn as the mark travels so deep through the disc it often causes permanent damage. If there is a perfect circular scratch running all the way around the disc then this is a Laser Burn and is a common issue with DVD Discs.įixing a Laser Burn: A laser burn will cause your game to crash, freeze and not load the game at all. Get a dry soft cloth and move away any dust or debris which the ‘Tropico 4’ disc may have. Solution: Eject the disc and give it a clean, it is unlikely that a DVD or BLU-ray disc would scratch itself past destruction so the error could be with a dirty disc lens or simply dust on the disc itself. This solution is only reliable for XBox One, XBox 360, PS4, PS3, Wii U If during gameplay of ‘Tropico 4’ the game crashes with the “Disc Unreadable” error message on your games console then there are a few things which you can do to fix the problem.

There are, however, a couple of Steward’s sexual encounters for which we don’t have to take his own word. ![]() After all, taken alongside some of the known facts about Steward’s long and extraordinary life, sex with celebrities is easily outdone. But Justin Spring, author of Secret Historian: The Life and Times of Samuel Steward, Professor, Tattoo Artist, and Sexual Renegade and editor of An Obscene Diary: The Visual World of Sam Steward, isn’t troubled by such doubts. You don’t have to be a skeptic to wonder whether there are elements of exaggeration, if not fantasy, about his claims. Steward also boasted of having had sex with Rock Hudson in a Marshall Field’s elevator and with Lord Alfred Douglas, Wilde’s Bosie, in Hove, England (“head down, my lips where Oscar’s had been”). The only source is Steward himself, in an interview he did with The Advocate more than sixty years after the event. He also entered the encounter in his “Stud File,” a card catalogue recording details of his sexual partners, eventually a few thousand over the course of his lifetime.ĭid all or any of it happen? The monstrance certainly existed, and still does, but short of DNA testing it’s impossible to confirm the hair is Valentino’s. ![]() Steward performed oral sex on him and at some point procured a lock of Valentino’s pubic hair-a souvenir that Steward kept in a monstrance at his bedside for the rest of his life. “Yes,” said Steward, “I’d like to have you.” The actor appeared, wearing only a towel, and after signing his autograph asked whether there was anything else the boy wanted. Grabbing his autograph book, he made his way to the hotel and knocked on Valentino’s door. On July 24, 1926, Samuel Steward, one day past his seventeenth birthday, got word that Rudolph Valentino had just checked in to the best hotel in Columbus, Ohio. ![]() ![]() ![]() It’d also be funny to see Spider-Man and Quantum having to team-up to stop their collective chaos. It’d be pretty hilarious to see personalities like Deadpool and Woody work off each other. So, putting these two teams together actually makes a lot of sense. Recently, our favorite wall-crawler and regenerating degenerate have become something of an unlikely duo. So, what would happen if Marvel’s not-so-dynamic duo met Valiant’s “worst super-team”? When you think about it, the two of them have a similar set up: both have the reckless guy who wreaks havoc, while the more level-headed one tries to rein them in. Spider-Man and Deadpool/Quantum and Woody.King Kong movie then maybe this is possible, too! On that day, humanity will receive a grim reminder: there can only be one king of monsters! Who knows, if we can get a new Godzilla vs. Speaking of giants fighting each other, what would happen if the King of Monsters took on the ravenous Titans? An awesome crossover, that’s what!! In the world of Attack on Titan, giants have taken over most of the planet! Between that and their healing factors, it sounds like they would greatly overpower the giant dinosaur, right? Maybe, but if Godzilla’s long career of smacking down kaiju has taught us anything, it’s that he doesn’t back down from a challenge! Sure, it would probably be a stretch to have these two worlds collide, but I think it’d be well worth it. There’s a chance that sparks will fly between vehicles and lions one day! It’d be pretty awesome to see the Defender of the Universe team up with the heroic Autobots! It’d be even better to seem them take on both the Decipticons and the Galra Empire! And it seems like it’d be versatile since both franchises have been in multiple forms of media. ![]() You know what’s cool? Giant robots fighting giant robots! If only there were two nostalgically awesome franchises that had giant robots in them…Oh, wait! There are! Sure, the Voltron paladins don’t exactly have the support the Autobots have, but what they lack in numbers they make up for in power! The Guardians and the Rebels are similar in some ways, and both universes are home to some interesting aliens, too! We could see Han Solo team up with Star-Lord, a conversation between Chewbacca and Groot, or bear witness to Darth Vader and Thanos fighting over an Infinity Stone! The awesome ideas in this crossover are limitless! I’d even like to see it happen with the cast of The Force Awakens or Star Wars: Rebels! With these two properties under the same roof, Marvel might be closer to that galaxy far, far away! There’s a ton of sci-fi characters you could pair up, but it seems the famous Star Wars franchise has never had a proper crossover before. Now that both Star Wars and Marvel are owned by Disney, there’s an opportunity available for the perfect conjoining of both franchises! However, the only one I want to see is a crossover with the Guardians of the Galaxy! Space - a vast tapestry of infinite possibilities. Being bad would never again look so good! What’s also funny about it is Deadshot was a member of both teams. So, with Suicide Squad having a surge in popularity recently, maybe it’s time these baddies shared a crossover! Oh, the insanity that would ensue! Sure, it’d be tricky, but I think if it was handled correctly, we’d be in for a fun ride. Probably the most likely to happen on this list would be a showdown/team-up between DC’s groups of loveable bad guys! DC had two similar teams of villains who got their own comics, and I always found it strange that they never had a chance to meet each other. I mean, we practically live on the same street…. From comics to movies, we’ve seen all kinds of crossovers, but we’re always hungry for more. As amazing as they sound, sometimes they seem too unlikely or impossible to ever happen. But hey, we’ve recently seen Batman and the Ninja Turtles team up and there’s a Justice League/Power Rangers crossover on the way. The way I see it, if those can happen, then maybe some of the following ideas aren’t so crazy! So, here are a few examples of some awesome superhero and sci-fi crossovers that need to happen! ![]() The Rangers teleport to the same coordinates Zack went to and end up stranded in a world where super-powered gods and caped avengers of justice are an everyday thing and villains are far more monstrous than anything Rita or Zedd could create.Seeing worlds collide is always awesome. This causes the teleportation to malfunction and send Zack, Lord Zedd and the Putties to cross dimensions, where a "Dark" and familiar figure witnesses their arrival. During his attempt to teleport them out, the teleportation relay is destroyed by a fake version of Alpha 5 with a bomb implanted in him. ![]() Lord Zedd attacks the Command Center with an army of Putties and Zack arrives to defend it and Zordon. ![]() ![]() Drone Repair Kit (No drones, no repair).BUT if you get right up next to a Boss, it can be targetted for massive damage - no OHKO though) Lost Doll (You just make it easier for yourself to die.May be useful on Monsoon for a quick getaway) Carrara Marble (Unless you spawn at the Teleporter, get a different item.Captain's Brooch (You're going to be even more broke using this).Explorer's Key (Unless you are broke, you should be holding a combat-based "Use" item).you need a very specific time and place to make use of them): Don't hoard stuff on MP unless you do it right - determine what you do & don't use and let your partner excel in something while you yourself are also very good at something. Obviously, you should go for at least one of each item in my suggestions when possible, and grab a few extra of the stat boosting ones. Nematocyst Nozzle (Activated) - Wandering Vagrant (best)ĭid you know there are dozens of amazing items on Risk of Rain? And that none of them have character requirements? Like other games?Īside from a few "Use items" and Warbanner being mostly useless, everything is fair game. Imp Overlord's Tentacle (Passive) - Imp Overlord (best) Legendary Spark (Passive) - Ancient Wisp (useful, but not consistent)Ĭolossal Knurl (Passive) - Colossus (best) Ifrit's Horn (Passive) - Ifrit (I don't recommend this because he doesn't spawn frequent enough) It can be hard to choose whether to keep that one activated item or trade it off, so choose wisely!īurning Witness (Passive) - Magma Worm (good for Acrid).Previously you weren't guaranteed a Boss item on it's defeat, just guaranteed SOME item(s) I don't know if they're still random since the artifact update.In addition, please take note of the following Boss drops. ![]() Please note, this is NOT an item description guide. ![]() If you have suggestions, feel free to drop a comment below! Most are based on consistency - trial and error. These builds either compensate for weaknesses OR expand on a character's strengths.

![]() Here are a few examples of how the Game of Life has been used in real life: The Game of Life has inspired a number of real-world applications and has been used to model a wide range of systems and phenomena in fields such as biology, physics, and computer science. The game is capable of producing a wide range of patterns and behaviors, and new patterns are still being discovered today. These are just a few examples of the patterns that can appear in the Game of Life. These patterns may exhibit seemingly random behavior, or they may exhibit complex, self-organizing behavior. Patterns with complex behavior: Some patterns in the Game of Life exhibit behavior that is difficult to predict or understand.The first gun was discovered in 1970 by Bill Gosper, and many more have been found since. Guns: These are patterns that produce an endless stream of spaceships or other patterns.Gliders are one of the simplest and most well-known spaceships in the Game of Life. Gliders: These are a type of spaceship that move diagonally across the grid, leaving behind a distinctive “trail” of cells.Spaceships can move in any of the four cardinal directions, and their movement may be periodic or aperiodic. Spaceships: These are patterns that move across the grid, leaving behind a “trail” of cells as they go.Examples of oscillators include blinkers, toads, and pulsars. Oscillators: These are patterns that repeat themselves over time, cycling through a fixed set of states. ![]() Examples of still lifes include blocks, beehives, and loafs. Still lifes: These are patterns that remain stable over time and do not change from one generation to the next.Here are a few examples of patterns that can appear in the Game of Life: ![]() Game Patternsįew examples of patterns that can appear in the Game of Life Some patterns remain stable over time, while others may evolve and change over the course of the game. The Game of Life is capable of producing a wide range of patterns, depending on the initial configuration of the cells and the specific rules that are being used. There are also many variations of the rules that have been explored, with different sets of rules leading to different patterns and behaviors in the game. The Game of Life can be implemented in many different ways, with the rules being applied to a two-dimensional grid, or to a one-dimensional “tape,” or even to a three-dimensional space. The game continues in this way, with the state of the cells being updated in each generation. These rules are applied to each cell in the grid simultaneously, with the state of the cells in the next generation being determined based on the state of the cells in the current generation.
![]() ![]() ![]() The research concluded that these weather events led to a “significant decrease” in tourist visits.Įl Niño conditions also tend to amplify hurricane-like storms in the Pacific Ocean, according to Dupigny-Giroux. For a 2021 study in the scientific journal Atmosphere, researchers analyzed the number of visits to 48 natural attractions in the United States to test willingness to travel during El Niño events. The travel and tourism sector may also feel the sting of El Niño. Obviously, for companies that sell coats, grills, outdoor furniture, sweaters, or shorts, the weather can be the difference between needing to buy that coat or not,” he added. “Not only must the retailers or brands forecast what consumers will want, they also need to predict what nature is going to throw at them. “Although no retailer ever wants to blame the weather because it comes off as an excuse, weather is absolutely critical for most retail, particularly apparel and seasonal goods,” he said. ![]() Simeon Siegel, an analyst analyst at BMO Capital Markets, said unexpected swings in weather can negatively impact the retail sector. Higher food prices are a common theme across El Niño events, according to a recent Deutsche Bank report. That can translate into higher prices for chocolate, for coffee and more. That could affect prices for foods Americans eat every day: Futures in sugar and cocoa are trading at multi-year highs on predictions of shortages, while robusta coffee futures are trading at all-time highs. The climate event’s impact will become more apparent in the US by late fall: Winters are generally warmer in the north of the United States and colder and rainier in the south during El Niño, Yu said.įood, tourism and retail industries may be affectedĬallahan said extreme weather associated with El Niño causes flooding, wildfires, hurricanes and other natural disasters. Major hydropower reservoirs in Vietnam are facing severe water shortages for the rest of the dry season due to El Niño, heat waves and drought, state utility Vietnam Electricity Group said. People fish along exposed banks, due to low water levels on Tri An Lake in Vinh Cuu, Dong Nai Province, Vietnam, on Tuesday, May. Jin-Yi Yu, a professor of atmospheric sciences at the University of California Irvine, said the climate pattern usually results in “abnormal” weather patterns, including droughts in typically rainy southeast Asia and Australia, and rainfall in the normally arid deserts of the Southwestern United States. And, because weather systems are complex, that can also suppress hurricane activity in the Atlantic, she noted.īut El Niño’s potentially dramatic impact stretches far beyond the Pacific Ocean. That can result in more typhoons and cyclones in the Pacific, said Lesley-Ann Dupigny-Giroux, a professor at the University of Vermont who studies climate variability and change. candidate at Dartmouth and lead author of the study, said.Įl Niño, part of a larger pattern called the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), is a naturally occurring climate system marked by warmer-than-average sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean near the equator, and it appears every 2-7 years, according to NOAA. “The effects of these events last a long time, and they are far more costly than we used to think,” Christopher Callahan, a Ph.D. candidate at Dartmouth and lead author on a study in the journal Science attributing $5.7 trillion in global income losses to the 1997-98 El Niño and $4.1 trillion in losses to the 1982-1983 El Niño.Ĭountries can feel the negative affects of these climate patterns years after they end, the study found. “There are these major negative economic growth consequences where there’s extreme weather,” said Christopher Callahan, a Ph.D. But that’s not the only effects expected: Combined with climate change, El Niño this year could dent US economic growth, potentially impacting everything from food prices to the winter clothing sales. The phenomenon generally has a wide-ranging impact on weather conditions for 9-12 months. Earlier this month, scientists at the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) confirmed that the climate event known as El Niño has officially emerged for the first time in more than four years, and it’s expected to be strong this time around. ![]() |
