![]() This stupid matchmaker would reduce the games created by magnitudes. To top it all off Blizzard is blaming Pindle spamming for creating too many games, but the matchmaker they implemented on consoles creates a new game 9 times out of 10 when people are actively trying to play together. It took getting through the game to the high 70s before I realized the rare rune drop I got, but didn’t need, was completely useless and got me no closer to what I do need. Without the ability to create, name, and join games through a lobby list, or even the ability to communicate beyond a few responses on a poorly conceived chat-wheel, you cannot hope to trade into a character’s gear. What’s worse than the servers though is the fact the developers willfully removed the ability for console players to communicate or trade, which is a keystone of the d2 online experience. I’d say about 4 out of ever 5 attempts to play the servers are down. Literally every morning the servers are down, as they are now. ![]() Let us know in the comment section down below if you too have been experiencing issues with Diablo II: Resurrected for the Nintendo Switch. In this case though, it seems pretty clear – if you bought an online version of the game and are unable to play it for reasons beyond your control, Nintendo will likely issue your refund. Here is the Nintendo Customer Support phone number: (800) 255-3700ĭo keep in mind that Nintendo allows players to refund the purchase of one digital game usually and the case must be pretty compelling for them to agree to it. It also looks like Nintendo has been approving the refunds, so it’s safe to assume that they are aware of the issue and are doing the right thing.įor Switch players that are interested in refunding their purchase of Diablo II, you can do so by calling Nintendo’s customer service department directly and speaking with them there. Looking through the comment section, we find multiple players stating that they requested refunds from Nintendo for the game, stating that the experience has been terrible so far. There is currently no way to access Online Characters at all. This shouldn't be done without thinking it over first, as it's very hard to make a Token of Absolution.ĭiablo 2: Resurrected is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.This will probably get buried, but Diablo 2’s Switch servers have been down for multiple days now without a word from Blizzard. If players are really stuck, and can't defeat Diablo no matter what they do, they can respec their character with the Token of Absolution in Diablo 2: Resurrected, or talk to Akara in the Rogue Encampment town in Act 1. Equipping gear with high Lightning Resistance and Damage Reduction can help players survive the attack. Melee characters won't actually receive any damage from it if they are close enough to Diablo. All of the above advice should be followed, but ranged attackers, like an Archer Amazon build in Diablo 2: Resurrected should be careful of his Red Lightning Hose move, as it will only hurt players attacking from a distance. Beating Diablo on Nightmare or Hell difficulty is an easier fight with good gear, but his attacks are slightly different. ![]() We love that epilators these days are both wet and dry because it means we can get the benefits of both situations.Įpilating with dry hair and skin is undeniably more effective, as the hairs aren’t weighed down by water nor do they stick to your skin. The benefits of having a cordless epilator vastly outweigh the cord. ![]() We recommend going against the grain in our Guide To Perfect Epilation and by using both the tiny comb on the cap and the smart light, you can ensure you’re going in the right direction at all times. They may not be obvious, but if they’re there the smart light will find them. This feature was especially useful to us when hairs started to grow back. Think you got every one of those fine hairs?

This ensures that you can keep the epilator in the best position at all times and it can easily conform to your body’s contours, making things far more comfortable and thorough!Ī lot of epilators are hard to use and control because they work best in a certain position, one that is constantly upheld with the pivoting head. While we still recommend you keep the skin tight, the 7681 has a flexible head that pivots 15 degrees forward and back. Why is this helpful?Įpilators work best on flat surfaces, which is why it normally helps to pull the skin taut so that every little hair can be pulled. What sets this epilator apart and perhaps even makes it the best epilator is its pivoting head. We really felt like this cap helped to inflict less pain. ![]() The sensitive area cap is perfect for your bikini line and your underarms. With this cap there was no hair left behind and most of the time there was no need to go over a spot more than once.

This cap is meant for the pros or those who need quick smoothness. ![]() It’s also useful for keeping your bikini line and underarms neat. The trimmer cap is great for trimming more sensitive areas in preparation for epilation.

The pivoting head makes getting those hard to pull hairs on curvier parts like the knees very manageable and the smart light is fantastic for finding those finer stragglers. It’s very convenient for use in the shower or bath, with the warm water making the experience much gentler on your skin (less painful!).Ĥ0-tweezer technology is the only way to epilate these days the Epil 7 is the king of efficiency and can grab even the tiniest hairs ( up to 0.5mm).

When asked about the health care supply, Torque denied the request as he said he was fine, but he did asked if the two girls can bring him to their home. ![]() Lilac introduced herself, and Torque lied by saying that he's a "turtle-duck from a different region of this world." Eventually, Carol showed up with all the health supply, and introduced herself to Torque after he accidentally called her a guy. When Serpentine gave up and left with his soldiers to report the news to Brevon, Lilac and Torque got out of their hiding place. Serpentine tried to chase Lilac, but Lilac cleverly hid behind a giant rock with Torque. When Serpentine got fed up and was about to shoot Torque in the head, Lilac showed up and saved Torque from Serpentine. He carried on to force Torque on revealing some information, but Torque still pretended that he's a different person (what he refers to as a "turtle-duck"). Somewhere close, Brevon's second-hand man, Serpentine, heard the explosion as he was holding a disguised Torque hostage, but shrugged it off when he felt it was just one of the soldiers shooting at something. Lilac ended up coming across a robotic snake called the Snake Mount, and destroyed it. Brevon witnessed Torque's ship and ordered his men to pursue it.Īs Torque's ship was shot down, two Avalicians, Sash Lilac and Carol Tea, witnessed the ship crashing, and Lilac went on to examine it after telling Carol to fetch some health care supplies from their treehouse. As Brevon used Syntax to brainwash Dali, Commander Torque, who fought Brevon on the war above Planet Avalice, was forced to retreat after he saw the prince becoming a mindless slave. However, he was injured during the battle, and Brevon forced the king's son, Prince Dali, to watch him behead the king. When Brevon showed up, he murdered every one of these soldiers, and entered the throne where the king of Shuigang was forced to fight back. The story begins during the invasion of Shuigang, where Brevon's army mercilessly assaulted every soldiers of Shuigang trying to protect the city. Theme that plays at the opening credits of the movie. The cameo appearance of Mammoth Mogul is the most relevant part of the connection between the three series, though there are also mentions of a Chaos Emerald used as a source of energy for the Kingdom Stone, alongside a reference to the Multiverse aspects of the Special Stages, and the possible dangers of Shadowmen that the Magister warns Lilac about for her mission on Pangu Lagoon.

The film stars most of the actors from the original game, with a few new ones. It has Codename: Avalanche's lighthearted-ness and comedy through its main characters' personalities, and Blue Blur's dark and grittiness with Lord Brevon and some of the drama in the story. The story's tone and art-style is a mix between Blue Blur and Codename: Avalanche. The film is based on the 2014 indie game of the same name by GalaxyTrail, and unlike Blue Blur, it's almost note-for-note faithful to the source material, with very few and rather cosmetic changes. Stephen DiDuro, one of the people of GalaxyTrail, was one of the co-writers and the producer of the film Shinichi Inotsume was also one of the co-writers and Kazuhiro Yoneda was the co-producer of the film.

This will make connections to things that have internal dns records like Application Servers accessible since they have a private IP address where-as publicly accessible things like websites pass through the internet like normal due to their having Publicly routeable IP addresses. (Lookups are slow but work.)Ī popular and generally elegant vpn implementation that is popular in Corporate environments is to have the vpn server assign a DNS server but not redirect your default gateway. If a DNS Server isn't assigned by the vpn server but your gateway is redirected, the dns traffic will simply go through the tunnel before making it to it's destination. (In openvpn, the server option is "redirect-gateway".) This will include DNS traffic and, although it would be less common for a vpn connection that redirects all traffic to not ALSO assign a dns server, it isn't out of the question either. Most VPN services that you can pay for will be configured to redirect all of your IP traffic through the VPN tunnel. (This often changes only a few options, making the vpn appear to be functional.) Another common mistake is to run your vpn client without administrator or root privileges. You may or may not be assigned a dns server through a vpn based on a) which vpn implementation you are using b) which OS you are using or c) whether or not the server AND client vpn settings allow this. * If you are using linux, most VPN implementations won't assign a dns server even if the VPN server is configured for it. If you do this before and after connecting to a vpn and the dns server listed doesn't change, than your DNS isn't being assigned by your VPN. Similarly, if you are using ubuntu you can use "nmcli dev list iface eth0 | grep IP4" ** *. On windows and you can tell if your DNS is being handed out by your VPN by opening up a cli and typing in "nslookup localhost" and looking at the top. **Before I get too into the specifics, I'll just say this. What it sort of boils down to are two things: one is that a vpn tunnel doesn't need to redirect all your traffic and the other is that a VPN server doesn't have to assign a dns server. This is probably the most secure way since all internal traffic is sure to stay in the VPN.Īh, I know that this has been pretty much answered, but I wanted to bring a bit more clarification to the answers here as, in the end, the true answer is completely dependent on how both the server and client are configured. In this case, when you are on the VPN all DNS would use the VPN's DNS. A final option is that you might operate your VPN in Tunnel Mode, sending all communications (including Internet) through the VPN stack.If you send traffic out both stacks at once this would be "Split Mode". Your OS must support this, as must the VPN service. If your VPN does assign a new DNS - for example by using DHCP option 6 "DNS Server" - then you can have different DNS servers for the VPN and for Internet.This can present a problem if the external DNS cannot resolve internal addresses (or as you indicate, if you don't want internal addresses to be known externally). If your VPN does not assign a new DNS for the VPN session then you will continue to use the DNS server(s) configured in your main Internet IP Stack.VPN's are (typically) like an additional IP stack on your system, and can have a separate DNS server address configured. Depending on how your VPN is configured, you might or might not use the same DNS for your VPN and for Internet. ![]() The only requirement is that you have time to play them.

A live chat option is also available through the browser, but it appears to only be geared toward billing and sales.

Added privacy without any sacrifice on your end (other than a subscription fee) is what you want, and delivers. Performance never seemed to take a dip, and most of the time I forgot I was even using a VPN, which is just about ideal. Other than these specific speed tests, I used every day for a couple of weeks and noticed only one or two connection drops, which were handled readily by the killswitch. In its privacy policy (opens in new tab), makes it very clear that it doesn't keep any logs other than your email address (which is encrypted), including session history and incoming or outgoing IP address. Luckily, is based in Malaysia, which has essentially no laws surrounding data retention. It's important to know where your VPN operates out of, as countries with strong data retention laws can make some people wary. The inclusion of SoftEther, an open-source VPN protocol, adds some firewall penetration magic thanks to being very tough to sniff out, ideal for remote access to company networks. OpenVPN is usually selected automatically within the client, though you can swap between protocols anytime you'd like. OpenVPN supports 256-bit encryption and uses an 8,192-bit DHE-RSA key for exchanges, which is very long (many VPNs use a 2,048-bit or 4,096-bit RSA key). It offers OpenVPN, SoftEther, and IKEv2 protocols, as well as less-secure SSTP, PPTP, IKEv1, and L2TP/IPsec protocols. You can choose a specific server to connect to at any time - there's no limit on how many switches you make - or you can let do the work and connect you to the fastest server, no matter the location.Īnyone investing in a VPN should be concerned with the security it offers, and doesn't skimp. Most servers are set up to handle P2P traffic for anyone who wants to take care of some file sharing, though some servers indicate that they're for standard traffic only. and in Europe, but there are some outliers, like Morocco, India, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Brazil. The network behind consists of more than 160 servers spread out over 34 countries, which is quite low compared to the main VPN contenders. ![]() ![]() Security protocols, DNS settings, split tunneling, firewall, and killswitch settings are easily accessible, though beginners can stick to the front of the app and still get a secure connection to the fastest server possible with just one click.

I originally started my VPN testing with the app downloaded from the Windows Store, but it soon became clear that it's best left alone. ![]() Kopernick is such a loser that he’s almost likable.Įstleman is a master at telling a tight story. Kopernick claims that earning favorable publicity by helping Amos (whether he proves or disproves Corbel’s guilt) will balance the most recent black mark on his record. Amos is, in fact, pursuing justice in his own way, not as a vigilante but as a man with a passion for the truth.Īmos gets unexpected help from Stan Kopernick, a cop who has alienated his boss by gambling on duty. The investigation also has unfortunate ramifications for Corbel, a fact that causes Amos to wonder whether he is doing more harm than good. Cutthroat Dogs scored points with me by suggesting that television hosts who position themselves as vigilante crime fighters might have more interest in their bank accounts than in justice for victims.Īmos is repeatedly targeted for murder as he investigates Dan Corbel’s conviction. Since most television hosts who style themselves as champions for crime victims fall into that category, I was pleased that Estleman took a well-deserved shot at them. Estleman is savage in his depiction of Chester Gross as a greedy, self-aggrandizing, unfeeling hypocrite. I’ve never been a fan of shows that exploit a family member’s victimization to create wealth for the host. Since ratings depend on a high capture rate, the show cherry-picks crimes that will probably be solvable with massive publicity. Viewers phone in tips and Goss brags about how the show helps put away bad guys. April’s father, Chester Goss, used her death as the foundation for one of those horrid “true crime” television shows. ![]() Dan Corbel has been in prison for almost twenty years.Ĭorbel was convicted of murdering April Goss, a woman he dated in college. Chrys Corbel wants Amos to look into her brother’s murder case. The gunplay gets Amos some good press that attracts a bunch of kooks and one paying client. John Alderdyce, back from retirement in a new role as a consultant for the Detroit Police, gives Walker a pass for carrying a firearm into a bank. Walker begins Cutthroat Dogs by shooting a bank robber in the leg. Not that the novels are free of violence. Walker spends most of his time solving puzzles by piecing together clues and getting a handle on ambiguous personalities. ![]() The novels move at a brisk pace, but Estleman doesn’t depend on shootouts and fistfights to carry the story. Estleman pushes all the buttons I look for in private detective fiction. If my application for a second life comes through, I’ll go back and read his Amos Walker series from the beginning. He was a crook, a bigot, and a killer, but in our political system that hardly disqualifies him from holding public office.Published by Forge Books on January 4, 2022 As for his frequent use of the law to attain his own ends, centuries of revered leaders were guilty of the same or worse. Many of his decisions were based on common sense, although some of his sentences were certainly unorthodox. He was appointed to the position and later reinstated by popular vote. How closely does the Law West of the Pecos myth hew to the reality of Bean’s life? It’s a popular misconception that Bean was a self-proclaimed judge. Roy & Lillie tells their complete story-fictively enhanced with dialogue history never recorded, thoughts a novelist can only guess at, and letters whose contents can’t be verified because the correspondence no longer exists. What’s new about Roy & Lillie? Every biography and biopic about Bean or Langtry presents the other person as a footnote. Judge Roy Bean’s life hasn’t suffered from lack of attention. ![]() Estleman is completing the twentieth volume in his Amos Walker detective series from his Michigan home, where he lives with his wife, Deborah Morgan. Roy & Lillie: A Love Story is an entertaining fiction that re-creates the long-distance flirtation between the English beauty and the man whose fame as the Law West of the Pecos survives to this day. His sixty-fifth book zeroes in on the real-life obsession of Judge Roy Bean-one of nineteenth-century Texas’s most colorful jurists-with the British actress Lillie Langtry. Since publishing his first novel, in 1976, the prolific author has won five Spur Awards in the western genre and four Shamus Awards for his mysteries. |
