![]() ![]() Wait wait wait - I just remembered the main protagonist is fourteen. In this scene, the main protagonist lies face-down (and naked!) as her friends massage her back. There are a handful of story-based, full-art CGs, but only one of them offers anything remotely lewd. As all of the card-art is rendered portrait-style, none of it can be borderless fullscreened. There are two variants for each card, depicting stages of undress - again, there is no full nudity. Boo.) There are one-hundred-fifteen cards in the game, each featuring a monster girl as they are powered-up (or “rubbed”), their clothes disappear. It’s a real shame, because Monster Monpiece definitely looks like the kind of game that’d have fapstuffs (but it doesn’t. I think anyone into Monster Monpiece is more interested in half-naked lolis than ditzy students!ĭon’t get your hopes up there is no nudity or sexual content in this game. Wow! It’s a shame these images weren’t used to produce the wallpapers. Interestingly, there is no content in this DLC that covers the main antagonists of the game (so I guess that means it’s spoiler free?) Finally, the “Digital Card Gallery” (PDF) offers one-hundred-fifteen pages showcasing each card in the game. The “Rough Sketches Art Book” (PDF) showcases conceptual art behind each protagonist. The “Original Soundtrack” includes twenty-six (MP3) tracks and a digital booklet. Each one offers one or more protagonists with lots of blank space (for your desktop icons). This DLC offers a variety of “digital goodies” (so let’s dive in!) There are six (JPG) wallpapers, which are offered in the following resolutions: 1280×720, 1600×900, and 1920×1080. Barring the wonderful artwork, Monster Monpiece looks like an old mobile game! This game isn’t visually interesting - as a matter of fact, I consider “visuals” to be one of the weakest points of this game. However, the game will often refer to controller buttons (leaving you to guess how they translate to PC). Monster Monpiece was designed to be played using a controller, but it’s keyboard and mouse compatible. From “Config”, you may adjust audio, control, and display preferences. They’re thematically appropriate, just boring. The main-menu and titlescreen look alright. The characters are shallow and the plot-twists are poorly telegraphed but as long as you don’t think too hard, you’ll be alright! As her quest unfolds, she will find that the world, and it’s inhabitants are not as they seem. It’s up to May, a young student and her friends to save the world. They want the world to reenter that state of chaos, to revel in the bloodshed as creation is undone. However, there is somebody that wants to undo world peace. Ultimately, man and monsters made peace throughout the world. So Clairdia then forced them into human bodies, forcing them to align with mankind to survive. Mankind was nearly wiped out her monsters became no different than those they were meant to punish. Once upon a time, mankind was punished for becoming “arrogantly, unruly, and violent.” Clairdia, Goddess of Creation unleashed monsters upon the world. ![]() Each card can be changed via “rubbing”, which causes their stats to change (and does away with their pesky clothes!) The key to winning is to build a deck with strong synergy, and one or more consistent, reliable strategies. There are four “classes” of cards melee cards are able to hold the line with high damage and hit-points ranged cards can control the board with wide-reaching attacks healers keep your cards alive and buffers amplify damage. If an opponent’s card blocks movement, they will fight. Each turn, cards will move one space forward. ![]() Build a deck and defeat foes in turn based, strategic combat! You must build a deck of at least thirty cards each card represents a playing piece, which interacts on a three-by-seven playing board. ![]()

Here’s a helpful trick to remember lead vs. The lead bullet was traveling at 1,000 feet per second.For example, when you see gasoline signs that say “unleaded gas,” this is sense that they mean. Lead (pronounced led rhymes with bed) is a noun and refers to a metallic element. The correct past tense of the verb lead is led, and this is also the past participle form.

Then in the ‘90s, the skateboarding scene took a hold of the Samba, its low cost and ability to withstand wear making for the perfect choice. Terrace Culture also adopted the Samba as part of the uniform, with football fans donning their best gear before heading off to watch the game. The ‘80s period is also when multiple countries were involved in the Samba’s production, with Made in France and Austria pairs becoming highly sought after by 3-Stripe fans in Spain and Italy. The “Made in Yugoslavia” editions are held in high regard within groups of adidas collectors as they are more attainable and in-tact when compared to the “Made in Germany” pairs. They were no longer produced in West Germany, opting for the cheaper cost of labour in Eastern Europe and Asia. The 5th and most recognisable edition compared to the 2020’s edition, released in the mid-80s. The new 3-zone outsole tread was made up of sections that helped the player stop, turn and grip, creating the ideal Indoor Football shoe. In 1972, the fourth iteration coincided with the rise in popularity of 5-a-side Futsal within Europe. Over the preceding decades, the Samba would go through a number of different generations which only added further functionality to the football favourite. The name was a huge success, landing the shoe on almost every player during the tournament, causing its rise to prominence. When the 1950 World Cup arrived in Brazil, adidas decided to name the silhouette after the hosting country’s favourite music genre, the Samba. The original upper had a high-cut and was made from tough kangaroo leather, with three holes on the outsole below that acted as suction cups for grip. Invented by Adi Dassler himself, the shoe was an alternative to studded boots and proved reliable when playing football on icy pitches. ![]() Most recently, Jenner wore the white Sambas with a white maxi skirt and a green tank top while shopping in Los Angeles.In 1949, adidas created the Samba, its longest-standing silhouette. One of the latest celebrities to be spotted in the viral sneaker is Kendall Jenner (a longtime fan of the silhouette), styling it with almost all of her day-off outfits lately. One note: I found that they tend to run big, so consider that before you pick up a pair for yourself. I personally own a pair of the black Sambas, and I wear mine on a near-constant rotation. However, I'm happy to report that the black version remains in stock and has also picked up steam over the last few weeks. The white iteration has certifiably become of the season's coolest white sneakers, proven by the fact that it's almost always sold out on Adidas' website and has been a mainstay on my Instagram and Pinterest feeds lately. Technically a cycling shoe, the low-profile pick is easy to style thanks in part to its simplicity. The Samba, available to shop in white and black colorways, is a departure from the chunky sneakers that have risen to popularity recently. ![]() ![]() ![]() This has implications when trying to adapt this type of rendering by computer.Įscher’s interest in the spiral, of both tessellation and itself, was quite extensive, especially of the mid-to-late 1950s. Admittedly, the differences are slight, but they still exist. However, it should be pointed out that Escher’s artworks also possess some “mathematical” shortcoming in terms of accuracy, caused by the impossibility of drawing identical motifs one after the other by the hand inadvertent imperfections arise. Save for a few artists, the resulting tessellations are typically far below the standards of Escher’s own works. However, trying to compose original Escher-like art to the same standard as Escher is not easy. On the other hand, a common shortcoming of computer-generated patterns to laypeople is that they lack interest, of an abstract nature, and so are thus of less obvious appeal, whereas with a recognisable motif, as Escher-like, there is thus an obvious point of interest. As people pay more and more attention to mathematics, art, aesthetics, and intelligence education, Escher’s artworks have attracted more and more mathematical attention, building on his legacy with tools not available in his day, specifically of the computer: Escherization, 3D Escher-like tessellations, Metamorphosis, Escher transmutation, hyperbolic tessellations, and f-tilings. ‘Immortality’ may be a silly word, but probably a mathematician has the best chance of whatever it may mean”. As the noted English pure mathematician, Godfrey Harold Hardy (1877–1947) once said: “Archimedes will be remembered when Aeschylus is forgotten, because languages die and mathematical ideas do not. Trends and fashion in art might change along with human civilisation’s progress, but the truth of mathematics never fades. Further, the wonderful visual impact of the artworks could also be accepted and experienced, even by children. ![]() (Without additional explanation, all Escher’s artworks mentioned in this paper refer to his works of mathematical meaning.) This makes his artworks resonate strongly among mathematicians, scientists, artists, and laypeople alike. Both art and mathematics can be seen in the creation process of Escher. In contrast, mathematics is purely a cold, logical, non-feeling process without any creative input. ![]() Many people believe that art creation is closely related to “feeling”, where rational thinking can only restrict the full play of artistic talent. Īrt and mathematics are popularly assumed to be distinct subjects, as far apart as is possible. In his native Netherlands, Escher is recognized as the 37th greatest Netherlander amid other honours in recent polls. Evidence of this is that the most popular art exhibit in the world in 2011 was “The Magical World of Escher”, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, viewed by over \(500\,000\) people. Today, Escher’s art has found new admirers from around the world. Widespread interest in him skyrocketed in the late 1960s, and onwards. Indeed, it was only much later, in the early 1950s, before Escher gained international fame, with articles in The Studio, Time, Life and an exhibition at the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam (1954). However, when Escher subsequently moved on to the mathematical art for which he later became renowned, beginning in 1936 (disregarding some initial studies of 1922 or 1923 that were abandoned), he was still essentially ignored by the art world for many years, indeed, if not dismissed entirely, due to the overt mathematical nature of his work. The art world essentially did not pay much attention to him at all, although he was recognized internationally, from as far back as 1934, at the Art Institute of Chicago, when he won the third prize for his lithograph Nonza. ![]() Compared with Pablo Picasso (1881–1973), Henri Matisse (1869–1954) and other masters at that time, he was ploughing a lone furrow, more like a playful child hiding in the cellar playing visual games on his own. In the era that Maurits Cornelis Escher (1898–1972) flourished, the trend of European modern art, such as Fauvism, Futurism, and Cubism, was surging in different directions. ![]() ![]() ![]() Short joined Ndamukong Suh and Fletcher Cox as the highest-paid 4-3 interior linemen, according to Over The Cap. But like Jones, Pierre-Paul, and Ingram, it didn't take long for Short to sign an extension, as the Panthers and Short agreed on a five-year, $80 million deal. Carolina applied the tag to the one-time Pro Bolwer in February. Short is considered one of the best interior defensive linemen in the league, racking up 22 sacks over a four-year span. Less than a month later, the one-time Pro Bowler and Arizona came to terms on a five-year, $83 million extension, making him the third-highest-paid 3-4 outside linebacker behind Von Miller and Justin Houston, according to Over The Cap. Now, Pierre-Paul joins fellow teammate Olivier Vernon as the two highest-paid 4-3 defensive ends in the league, according to Over The Cap.Īfter racking up 49 tackles and 11 sacks in 2016, the Cardinals placed Jones on a non-exclusive tag in February. So the Giants came to terms with the two-time Pro Bowler by signing him to a four-year, $62 million deal in March. Pierre-Paul said he wasn't going to sign another one-year deal because he wanted a long-term extension. Ingram is now the fourth-highest-paid outside linebacker in the NFL, according to Over The Cap. The Chargers and Ingram quickly agreed to a four-year, $66 million extension in June. Here’s the latest on all of the players who were issued franchise tags by teams this offseason. An agreement is still considered a “long shot,” even with Cousins insisting that it’s not about the money. However, it would have to be a blockbuster - one that would likely supplant Derek Carr’s contract which could average as much as $25 million per year. Head coach Jay Gruden was “optimistic” that a deal could get done. He signed the tender right away and participated in offseason workouts. This will be the second consecutive year that Cousins is playing under a Washington franchise tender. In June, Bell decided to skip Pittsburgh’s mandatory minicamp due to contract negotiations, but the league couldn't fine him for it because he technically wasn't under contract with a team. ![]() The Pittsburgh Steelers used the tender on Bell in February, but the two-time Pro Bowler still hasn't signed it. Everyone but Bell, Cousins, and Johnson signed a long-term deal before the deadline. This offseason, Le’Veon Bell, Kirk Cousins, Chandler Jones, Kawann Short, Trumaine Johnson, Jason Pierre-Paul, and Melvin Ingram each got the franchise tag from their respective teams. The deadline has typically been July 15, but the league issued a memo that pushed the date back to July 17 because July 15 falls over the weekend. Here’s a more thorough overview of how the tag works and how much tagged players are scheduled to get paid. For teams, the tag is a way to give them more time to negotiate a long-term deal with a critical player rather than see him walk away in free agency. The player earns a one-year, fully guaranteed salary based on the average salary of the five highest-paid players at his position (or 120 percent of his current salary, whichever is higher). Teams use the franchise tag to lock up a free-agent player for one season. He could continue to hold out or sign the tender that would pay him $12.1 million in 2017. Bell hasn't signed his franchise tender, so he's not under contract with the Steelers. Kirk Cousins, Le'Veon Bell, and Truman Johnson did not sign long-term extensions.īoth Cousins and Johnson will play under the franchise tag for the second consecutive year. Instead, the deadline passed and nothing happened. ![]() It was the deadline for those teams and players to agree to long-term deals.
