The lyrics "We face the path of time/And yet I fight/And yet I fight/This battle all alone/No one to cry to/No place to call home" are so much more soul-stirring when placed up against the tranquility of the intimate setting and calmer-paced melody, and opening with this hopelessness and despair is all the more heartbreaking.Īlice In Chains prepared the entire show ahead of time, with the specifications of MTV Unplugged in mind, creating a set list that balances more energetic tracks with solemn, tenser songs. Every word resonates and Staley and Cantrell's raw, signature harmonies with no accompaniment will chill you to the core. While we were all aware of Staley's battle against addiction (there were many rumours circulating about his decline in health, which only became worse after the band's hiatus) and while AIC's lyrics had never shied way from the bleak reality of his relationship with drugs they become all the more stark and impactful when crooned alongside the strums of an acoustic guitar. Staley immediately starts singing it as he takes a seat, without any perceived warning but somehow seamlessly matching with guitarist Jerry Cantrell's strumming. If a band can start a show, an MTV live show aired on international television, with an album track you know they're something special. Opening with Nutshell – taken from Alice In Chains' third studio EP Jar Of Flies – the track has become a staple of 90s grunge, despite never being released as a single. Every song transforms from a powerful, angry and forceful catharsis to a frustrated and haunting lament. If you were to know nothing about the band prior to listening, odds are you'd still come away moved.ĪIC's down-tuned sludgy heavy metal somehow lends itself to the acoustic format. It's not just the tragic backstory that makes Alice In Chains Unplugged a poignant piece of work, the tracks themselves are what make it a truly formidable live record. (Image credit: Frank Micelotta/Getty Images) Acoustic Alice in Chains is nothing short of haunting "I wish I could just hug you all, but I'm not gonna," Staley proclaims at the end of the record – and we wish we could hug you right back, Layne. The album understandably garnered a resurgence of recognition after the death of Staley, with many media outlets – even those who had given the album initially scathing reviews – praising the power of performance despite his condition at the time. His once glowing, cheeky grin is replaced by a morose, pained half-smile, but nevertheless, his sense of humour is still prevalent and he immediately belts out Nutshell and continues to give a strong vocal performance throughout – a testament to his sheer natural talent. Sunglasses disguise his blackened eyes, long sleeves cover scars left behind from shooting up and he awkwardly clutches his hands together as if afraid to emerge from the shadows and take centre stage – quite different from the powerful vocalist we'd come to know and love. The original performance is therefore a chilling look at the tragic downfall of one of rock's most charismatic and enigmatic frontmen from glam rock loving metal star to the epitome of grunge – in the most negative sense of the word: a bedraggled junkie with scruffy pink hair awkwardly shuffles from the back of the stage and takes his seat. Staley overdosed following their concert in Kansas City on July 3 and despite the frontman recovering from the incident AIC were put on hiatus, and other than one brief recording two years later, where the band briefly reunited to record the songs Get Born Again and Died for Music Bank, Alice in Chains never played with Staley again. His final ever performance was in the same year, when Alice in Chains replaced Stone Temple Pilots in an opening slot for the newly reunited Kiss. Alice in Chains Unplugged marked the second to last performance from Staley, who was battling a crippling addiction to heroin that was poignantly chronicled through the band's dark and agonising lyrics.

I left the last NPC practically the same in example B to illustrate that while in example A the NPC may come across as an ordinary drunk, the NPC in example B comes across as stubborn, but possibly threatening since the other NPC has filled us in about his strength. You can envision the waitress being frustrated with the man long after you've left. This is cool because the world feels more cohesive as a result. For one, the NPCs refer to one another, adding a level of believability, the 2nd is that the dialog uses something from the universe to help illustrate the scenario. It does everything the first example does, but gets some extra mileage out of the dialog. Man at the bar: Hic – Hic – What do you want? – Hic Man sitting at a table close to the bar: Ugh, last time I tried to pull that man away from the bar he hit me pretty hard. Waitress walking around: I wish that man wouldn't always be here, doesn't he have anywhere else to go? Look a drunk, obviously you're in a bar.ī) Tavern – Drunkard sitting at the bar in a Dragon Quest game: I guess it helps the Tavern feel like a bar. If you noticed though, the NPCs are providing the player with information not about the drunkard, but about the fact that there is a drunkard. This example isn't lifted from any game specifically, but I imagine most people can recall some RPG they played that plays out like this. Man at the bar: Hic – Hic – Hic, What do you want? Man sitting at a table close to the bar: The man at the bar is here every night, what a poor sight. Waitress walking around: If you're looking for a drink, head over to the bar, but you look a little young. They're strangely memorable.Ī) Tavern – Drunkard sitting at the bar in a typical RPG: I've spent a lot of time thinking about the NPCs in Dragon Quest games because they always help weave the fabric in which each town is built. I'm not sure if it's true, but it's said that Yuji Horii must approve the dialogue of every NPC in every main Dragon Quest entry and I believe it. Unlike most RPGs where the NPCs give the impression as though they were added to fill up space, or to force the feeling of believability, Dragon Quest NPCs have this weird sense of belonging. Not for an item or for an achievement, but because you genuinely have an interest in what that NPC has to say. It's really simple, but some people have this trait and others don't, it's that you have to like exploring, you have to be the kind of person that sees an NPC and actually wants to talk to them. It's rewarding to see what time has done to your legendary feats, have they been remembered, transformed, or completely forgotten?īefore I go on though, I should share a secret with you, the secret to enjoying Dragon Quest. Then after you save a village you unlock it's entrapment in the past and can access it in the present. From people turned to animals, to preventing human sacrifices, and exploring a kingdom filled with robots, this games has it all. You travel the world in the past and present and solve the problems of a variety of villagers. And that's what Dragon Quest VII is, an epic journey packed with stories. Once they had the basic foundation, it's simply a matter of using the setting to tell interesting stories. Enix/Heartbeat didn't need to invest in a development team that could make a cyberpunk reality real, they just needed artists to make sprites and 3D textures into things we're already familiar with – castles, farm animals, peasants, bunny girls, royalty, etc. Wut?! Dragon Warrior VII would have worked with Super Nintendo graphics, hell, it'd probably look better too, my point is that Dragon Quest's focus is always on the world and it's denizens. While Square focused on upping the ante visually, Dragon Warrior VII was great despite it's uglyness.ĭragon Warrior VII worked because it didn't need any visual improvements, the setting worked fine because Dragon Quest games are always in this strange medieval time where people live in castles and shacks, but occasionally fight robots. In the PlayStation era every RPG wanted to be like Final Fantasy VII (even VIII) and every PS2 RPG wanted to be Final Fantasy X. It's difficult because so much of what Dragon Quest does well it does to a degree better than it's rival and let's be honest, that's saying a lot. It's difficult to talk about Dragon Quest without comparing it to that other flagship series, you know the one I've already mentioned. Be constructive.Īvoid derailing: stay on topic if you want to talk about something else, start a new conversation. When we do disagree, try to understand why. Interpret the arguments of others in good faith, do not seek to disagree. In particular, respect differences of opinion. Remember that sometimes it is best to refrain entirely from commenting. Think about how your words will be interpreted. Productive communication requires effort. (Meaning and tone can be lost in translation.) 3. Remember that people have varying communication styles and that not everyone is using their native language. Third party-provided bindings and ports include C#, Common Lisp, Crystal (programming language), Erlang, Go, Haskell, Lua, Java, Nim, Node.js, Perl, PHP, Python, R, Ruby, Rust, Smalltalk, and OpenCL.Post is not in keeping with an inclusive and friendly technical atmosphere. Snappy distributions include C++ and C bindings. Unlike compression methods such as gzip and bzip2, there is no entropy encoding used to pack alphabet into the bit stream. More common compressors can compress this better. In this example, all common substrings with four or more characters were eliminated by the compression process. The first 2 bytes, ca02 are the length, as a little-endian varint (see Protocol Buffers for the varint specification). Wikipedia is a free, web-based, collaborative, multilingual encyclopedia project. The complete official description of the snappy format can be found in the google GitHub repository. The size of the dictionary was limited by the 1.0 Snappy compressor to 32,768 bytes, and updated to 65,536 in version 1.1. The length is the number of bytes to copy from the dictionary. The offset is the shift from the current position back to the already decompressed stream. The copy refers to the dictionary (just-decompressed data). 11 – Copy with length stored as 6 bits of tag byte and offset stored as four-byte little-endian integer after the tag byte.10 – Copy with length stored as 6 bits of tag byte and offset stored as two-byte integer after the tag byte.01 – Copy with length stored as 3 bits and offset stored as 11 bits one byte after tag byte is used for part of offset.Lengths larger than 60 are stored in a 1-4 byte integer indicated by a 6 bit length of 60 (1 byte) to 63 (4 bytes). 00 – Literal – uncompressed data upper 6 bits are used to store length (len-1) of data.The element type is encoded in the lower two bits of the first byte ( tag byte) of the element: The remaining bytes in the stream are encoded using one of four element types. The lower seven bits of each byte are used for data and the high bit is a flag to indicate the end of the length field. The first bytes of the stream are the length of uncompressed data, stored as a little-endian varint, which allows for use of a variable-length code. The format uses no entropy encoder, like Huffman tree or arithmetic encoder. Snappy encoding is not bit-oriented, but byte-oriented (only whole bytes are emitted or consumed from a stream). Snappy does not use inline assembler (except some optimizations ) and is portable. Decompression is tested to detect any errors in the compressed stream. It can be used in open-source projects like MariaDB ColumnStore, Cassandra, Couchbase, Hadoop, LevelDB, MongoDB, RocksDB, Lucene, Spark, and InfluxDB. Snappy is widely used in Google projects like Bigtable, MapReduce and in compressing data for Google's internal RPC systems. The compression ratio is 20–100% lower than gzip. Compression speed is 250 MB/s and decompression speed is 500 MB/s using a single core of a circa 2011 "Westmere" 2.26 GHz Core i7 processor running in 64-bit mode. It does not aim for maximum compression, or compatibility with any other compression library instead, it aims for very high speeds and reasonable compression. Snappy (previously known as Zippy) is a fast data compression and decompression library written in C++ by Google based on ideas from LZ77 and open-sourced in 2011.

The pendulum will learn to resonate with you, within your own energy field. Asking questions that you already know the answers to will end up in your own frustration. Ask the pendulum simple questions that will help build your trust in the answers. Keep the pendulum with you as much as possible during the first 3 weeks to have it absorb your own energies. It uses your own energy and as such should not be touched by others who may impart their vibrations into the pendulum and thereby reduce its reliability. The pendulum can provide a good second opinion. Now ask your pendulum something that you know is not true: Here's a hint:Īsk your pendulum something that is true: If your pendulum swings elliptically, clockwise, counter-clockwise, or in some other gyration or even stays rigidly still, you must interpret this as best you can. If the pendulum swings to and fro, then this can be interpreted as a "YES". The pendulum will show you the answer by picking up and amplifying the subtle vibrations from your sub-conscious, causing the pendulum to swing! You can ask any questions to get a YES or NO answer.įor many people, when the pendulum swings left and right this can be interpreted as a "NO". The pendulum works like muscle-testing or kinesiology: your sub-conscious knows what you need to know. Relax! It is important to let the natural vibrations of your own body move through your hand to the pendulum. Use the hand that feels most comfortable for you. Hold the pendulum between your thumb and index finger with your elbow slightly bent at your side.
