![]() But really, deep in our hearts, we know that what has happened is that we have renounced the battle for our dreams-we have refused to Fight the Good Fight. We are surprised when people our age say that they still want this or that out of life. In that state we think of ourselves as being mature we put aside the fantasies of our youth, and we seek personal and professional achievement. Life becomes a Sunday afternoon we ask for nothing grand and we cease to demand anything more than we are willing to give. "And finally, the third symptom of the passing of our dreams is peace. For them, neither victory nor defeat is important what's important is only that they are Fighting the Good Fight. But we never see the delight, the immense delight in the hearts of those engaged in the battle. We look beyond the walls of our day-to-day existence, and we hear the sound of lances breaking, we smell the dust and the sweat, as we see the great defeats and the fire in the eyes of the warriors. Because we don't want to see life as a grand adventure, we begin to think of ourselves as wide and fair and correct in asking so little of life. "The second symptom of the death of our dreams lies in our certainties. They complain constantly that the day is too short. The truth is, they are afraid to Fight the Good Fight. Those who do nothing are always tired and pay no attention to the little amount of work they are required to do. "The first symptom of the process of killing our dreams is lack of time. The busiest people I have known in my life always have time enough to do everything. We kill our dreams because we are afraid to Fight the Good Fight. We say that our dreams were childish, or too difficult to realize, or the result or our not having known enough about life. So we turn against ourselves and do battle within. ![]() ![]() With great effort, we learn how to Fight, but by then we no longer have the courage to go into combat. When we are young and our dreams first explode inside us with all of their force, we are very courageous, but we haven't yet learned how to Fight. "The Good Fight is the one that's fought in the name of our dreams. " The Good Fight is the one we Fight because our heart asks it of us. In order to do it complete justice, I would like to share the entire passage with you: It's from a much larger passage in The Pilgrimage by Paulo Coelho that speaks to me on so many levels and in fact made me cry the first time I read it last year (I was a little late on the Paulo Coelho train). The Good Fight is the one we Fight because our heart asks it of us. I could never thank the stars enough for aligning and bringing these two souls into my life. When I think of these two I smile, my heart smiles and I'm reminded of this quote, ![]()

![]() ![]() Thanks to incredible animation that was years ahead of the curve and a soundtrack that pushed the envelope back when it was released in 1988, Akira nails the attitude of cyberpunk and raised the bar for anime at the time. ![]() While it has plenty of mind-bending themes, Akira’s cyberpunk impact is a more overt collision of style and substance. Akira At first glance, Akira may not seem like the typical cyberpunk adventure, but there’s no denying that it possesses all the hallmarks of the genre through its gritty dystopian future, grimy technology, and a level of mainstream success and influence that can still be felt to this day. An energetic and youthful exploration of technology that skips the bleaker outlook of many entries on this list, Dennō Coil is Stranger Things by way of Hayao Miyazaki, an overlooked gem that was simply too far ahead of the curve when it was first released in 2007. Hints of a more supernatural element are thrown into the mix, multiple plot threads are woven throughout the tale and it all ends on a satisfactory high note. The underrated Dennō Coil is a colourful and surprisingly detailed series with a young cast that’s thrown into a reality which has collided with the virtual world. As they struggle to accept the challenges that they are dealt, the characters bear witness to major events that determine the survival and fate of the city.Dennō Coil The cyberpunk genre may mostly focus on distant futures and feature technology that could be made real one day, but seeing an anime show reach into the future and pull out a surprisingly accurate prediction of tomorrow? Now that’s a rare treat. The series has an ensemble cast, but events particularly focus on Ichise, a stoic prize fighter who loses a leg and an arm to satisfy an enraged promoter Oonishi, a young but level-headed executive of the Organo who has many enemies and Ran, a little girl who has a very important gift that affects the entire city. Three factions vie for control of the city: the Organo, a strictly professional conglomerate with ties to the criminal underworld in the prostheses business ("Texhnolyze") the Salvation Alliance, a fanatical populist group interfering with the Organo's affairs and the Racan, a marauding group of Texhnolyzed youths. ![]() Denizens of Lux have come to call it "The City" and treat it as a sentient force. The events take place in the vibrant yet dilapidated underground city of Lux. Konaka, and produced by Yasuyuki Ueda, with original character design by Yoshitoshi ABe. Texhnolyze (テクノライズ, Tekunoraizu) is a Japanese anime television series directed by Hiroshi Hamasaki, from a screenplay by Chiaki J.

With the free home versions of the two operating systems (UTM, SFOS), you can protect your network with technologies such as anti-malware, web security, URL filtering, application control, IPS, traffic shaping, VPN, reporting and monitoring. Apart from a few minor restrictions, which don’t really matter, the home user can use both operating systems completely free of charge. Sophos has also been aware of this for a few years now, and the company offers the UTM operating system for private use, as well as the newer SFOS in a “home variant”. It is much more the fact of having to pay annual license fees. It is not necessarily the case that the price for the hardware will blow your mind. Many private users therefore not infrequently reach for the inexpensive XG85, but we can’t really recommend it even for their own living room. Therefore, they are not without reason very popular with SMEs, but unfortunately a bit too expensive for home use. □ No, but seriously: Even if we are sometimes somewhat critical of Sophos and are not super satisfied with everything, Sophos firewalls are among the best on the market. But what else can we say about it, after all, we deal with it every day. The Sophos firewalls are already a great thing. In this post, we’ll give a brief overview of which Sophos products are worth considering for the home and can be used for free. Since virtually anyone can buy Sophos from us, home users are also frequent guests in our online store.Īlthough Sophos is primarily active in the business environment, it also offers enough functions for private households, some of which can even be used free of charge. They range from small two-man operations, to large companies with multiple locations worldwide. ![]() Our business model of making Sophos products available online to everyone means we get a wide variety of requests every day. ![]() ![]() ![]() as well as their willingness to clear out as soon as the tide of battle turned against the Decepticons. They displayed the full range of their powers. Reunited with their Decepticon comrades, the three warriors happily accepted an alliance, driving off the Autobots and participating in a raid on an oil refinery. Eventually their food-raiding activities attracted the attention of both the Autobots and Decepticons, the latter approaching them with offers of alliance and shared purpose. Landing in a swamp, their idento-computers gave them new alternate modes based on local insects. Shrapnel, Kickback, and Bombshell arrived on Earth in an escape pod millions of years ago. Individualistic, greedy, and arrogant, the Insecticons consider themselves a species unto themselves and have only a tentative on-again/off-again alliance with the main Decepticon forces, mainly when Megatron can bribe them with the energon they need to maintain their clone hordes. Now I passed up all the chain franchise joints on Hamburger Row, and stopped at a little greasy spoon place I always eat at, called EAT.

The form fields are registered with the React Hook Form using the ref= from 'react-router-dom' The returned JSX template contains the form with all of the input fields and validation messages. The variable isAddMode is used to change the form behaviour based on the mode it is in, for example in "add mode" the password field is required, and in "edit mode" ( !isAddMode) the user service is called to get the user details and set the field values. The form is in "add mode" when there is no user id parameter ( ), otherwise it is in "edit mode". The onSubmit function gets called when the form is submitted and valid, and either creates or updates a user depending on which mode it is in.

In a similar vein, well done to Jeremy Martin, who gave his Day Of The Tentacle walkthrough a header with a tentacle in it. This Final Fantasy VII one has a very similar energy. Alice0 also liked the use of ASCII art to make a cursive handwriting style title for the table of contents.īig fan of this one by Iron Knuckle because it makes The Curse Of Monkey Island look like a spin-off from The Fast And The Furious, possibly fronted by Zac Efron, rather than a point and click adventure about pirates. This, from ChandooG's Metal Gear Solid guide, is simple and classic, but I especially enjoy the inclusion of 'A Hideo Kojima masterpiece.'.

I do recommend you actually click through to look at the guides in their original format, not only because image compression mangles the crisp edges of the ASCII art a bit, but also because the guides themselves are often a joy. :Dīack in the before times, before you could easily splash actual images onto the internet, ASCII art was a way to make your guides purdy to look at, and many guides writers really rose to this challenge. Example: I can make an ASCII smiley face. A true craft that has died out but deserves to be seen and celebrated.ĪSCII basically just means 'the standard way of displaying text on your computer screen', but since humans are an enterprising lot, we have long used it to represent more than just display text. And the true marker of the dedication of these artisans can be seen in one thing: the ASCII art of game titles they put in at the top of their work. You reached out to me, guides writers, and you never even knew it. I used to sit up reading these in the 90s and 00s, a little goblin who wasn't yet good enough to complete these games without help. Go to sites like NeoSeeker and GameFAQs and you can still see their work preserved, their beautiful HTML formatting, and their instructions on the precise font and size you should view the guide in (or it would mess up the formatting and ruin all the work they put into the contents lists). Instead, they were written for free by absolute heroes who toiled away for months on end, updating their guides to new versions until they had cleared it to 100% and documented everything, entirely in their spare time.

(It's worth noting, incidentally, that although the narrative takes place after the end of Borderlands 2, you won't need to finish the game to access it. The storyline that unfolds is fairly compact compared to those of the previous two add-on episodes, but it's still stuffed with a series of decent boss battles, a truly stellar final joke, and an armory to raid that, for me at least, offered some of the best loot I've ever netted in a single session.

What they are entirely comfortable with, however, is creating another memorable guest star in the shape of Professor Nakayama, an evil scientist in the making who's both cripplingly aware of his own shortcomings and woefully unprepared for the task of world domination he's given himself. EG YouTube man Ian Higton presents a quick look at the Hammerlock DLC after grinding to level 30 in three days in preparation. With the neo-Victorian figure of Sir Hammerlock to serve as your way into the adventure, it's a promising set-up with which to parody colonialism's warped view of the world - but it never feels like the developers are entirely comfortable with the conceit, or particularly sure where they should be going with it. Maps are huge and craggy and distinct from anything else you'll have seen in the game, which feels great, and they're filled with groups of spear-wielding "Savages", which feels kind of awkward. Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt shifts the focus somewhat, however, packing you off to a new area called Aegrus to take apart the local wildlife as noisily and destructively as possible.Īegrus is based on Africa, by the looks of things - or rather it's based on the American media's concept of Africa, which means that what you end up with is a cross between a safari park, King Kong's Skull Island and something that resembles the interior of an airport terminal's most misjudged theme restaurant. A central element of Borderlands is the broad, scattershot riffs the whole thing offers on the lunatic excesses of American culture. None of which is to say there isn't room for a little experimentation beyond the blood-splattered confines of that lab, of course. Keep churning out new continents to add to this dusty, extravagantly devastated world, and keep stocking them with loot chests, Eridium drops, and, well, mission objectives like Find creature lab. Keep sending me up against monster-of-the-week bosses and the deranged lunatics that created them. Keep throwing me into weird DLC offshoots where Pandora becomes home to buccaneers, professional wrestlers and armour-plated Bullymongs. ![]() |
