Battery Doctor (Battery Saver) by Ksmobile But for now, below are my choice for best Android battery saver apps. I might add or remove some apps, based on user’s feed-backs or the rating of the app itself. If you have a recommendation, share it with us in the comments below.Note: I will continue to update this article. Still, that doesn’t mean there aren’t others out there. Regardless, these are five of the best system monitoring apps you can find in the Play Store for your Android device. Others serve more as supplements than as a hub for everything. Some of these apps are comprehensive enough to work well on their own. It’s free to use, though there’s some features that require payment. You may even want to pair Tinycore with any of the other apps on this list, considering this one as an early warning system that helps you gauge when it’s time to take a look at things more in-depth. It places a single bar that’s only a couple pixels thick along the top of your screen that shows how much CPU, RAM, or battery your device is using. In contrast, Tinycore serves as an ever present monitor. All of the previous options consist of dedicated apps that you visit when you’re ready to give your device a quick checkup. Tinycore is a special option on this list. Need to know the codename for your phone model? What kernel version are you running? CPU-Z can answer these questions, and it will do so for free. You can fire up this piece of software to get all the details on your device’s specs. Like the other apps I’ve mentioned here, CPU-Z can give you information about your CPU, memory, and battery life. To make things better, the app’s available entirely for free, but you can donate a dollar to show your support. It places emphasis on system processes and network connections, but that’s not all there is to see here. It has a darker UI that, while not quite in line with Android’s current aestetic, fits in well with those of the Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean era. If System Monitor doesn’t quite suit your tastes, there’s OS Monitor. You can find it in the Play Store for free. It’s a compelling one-stop-shop for observing your device’s performance, managing installed apps, and cleaning up some of the cruft that accumulates at the edges over time. It doesn’t have as much of a purpose on Android, since the mobile operating system does a better job of keeping things operating smoothly, but there are still some useful features to be found here. CcleanerĬCleaner is a popular Windows application that helps PCs continue to run optimally. It comes in two forms, a lite and paid version, with the latter unlocking a widget, a DashClock extension, and other perks. It can gauge how hard your CPU is working, how much memory is being used, the strain you’re putting on your network, predict how long your phone’s battery will last, measure your device’s temperature, and much more. If you want a single tool that can tell you just about everything about your phone while integrating nicely with the general UI, the aptly named System Monitor app is all you need.

Rose garden5/26/2023 Surprised by the vision, he interrupted the prayer and the angels stopped when he prayed again he saw the angels recommencing to compose the crown of roses to offer to Mary. Hymns and prayers while they were composing a crown of roses. In the Catholic religion, rose is a symbolic element of the Holy Rosary it is reported that Fra Angelico, praying the rosary in the street, saw the Virgin with a group of Angels offering her They are of so many colours like red, yellow, orange, pink, purple and so on Hybrid Tea roses, Floribunda roses, and English roses are the most common in gardens today. Other groups have several different species among their ancestors. The names used to describe the different types often refer to one species that is the main ancestor of that group, for example, Gallica roses are mostly descended from Rosa gallica. There are thousands of rose cultivars that people grow in gardens and on farms. This 'Tuscany Superb' rose cultivar was discovered in 1837. Hundreds of years ago, the roses in people's gardens looked different from most roses grown today. Cleopatra VII of Egypt was said to have had a floor of her palace covered in roses before her lover Mark Antony visited her. Anything which was said "under the rose" was considered to be a secret. They would wear roses tied onto string around their neck. Rich Romans would lie on couches with roses laid on them. He was the Roman god of desire – in one myth, he dropped nectar and the nectar bubbled up from the ground as roses. It was also linked with Cupid (son of Venus). Venus was the Roman goddess of love and beauty. The rose was sacred to Venus (mythology). Roses are widely used across the world as symbols of love, sympathy or sorrow. Rose bushes are able to live in a wide variety of conditions. This is a common defense system in plants. Most roses have spines (incorrectly called thorns) on their stems. Many roses have a strong, pleasant scent. ![]() Over hundreds of years they have been specially bred to produce a wide variety of growing habits and a broad range of colours from dark red to white including as well yellow and a bluish/lilac colour. The wild rose species can be grown in gardens, but most garden roses are cultivars, which have been selected by people. There are over 100 different species of roses. All roses were originally wild: they grew in North America, Europe, northwest Africa and many parts of Asia and Oceania. Roses belong to the family of plants called Rosaceae.

![]() ![]() Meat cleaver with car battery and battery can pretty much oneshot anything which is kinda wack. Vasculitis (Its not an unlock, but its still awful) Damocles is at least good for lost/tainted lost. Vasculitis (Its not an unlock, but its still awful) Wavy Cap (I know this isn't an unlock but screw this item it makes me have motion sickness) I'd way rather have the normal shell game, who you can at least bomb for resources which NO DEMON BEGGERS GIVE ANYMORE I might add.ĭamocles (Cool idea but losing your run any time isn't. Its so freaking greedy and pays out at awful rates. And quite a few cards and souls I regret gettingĪlso regret having the demon shell game unlocked. I absolutely hate having montezuma's revenge unlocked as well as rotten hearts. Like, almost all of the unlocks add something worthwhile or at least situational, as opposed to unlocks like isaac's tears or blood rights or marrow or the 5 billion coop babies. Originally posted by Squaredudes:Honestly, Repentance probably adds the fewest "bad" unlocks out of any version of isaac ever. Maybe Boss Rush for Rock Bottom then Satan for Red Stew, maybe Greed Mode for Inner Child, but don't bother with anything else unless you actually enjoy them. Jacob & Esau can be difficult to manage, but go down The Chest route at least once for Birthright and The Stairway. Blow up the Siren's skull at least once while you're there.īethany's unlocks are more or less universally amazing, or at least above-par. On the opposite end of the scale, kill Hornfel every chance you get there's an unlock the first time and additional rewards after. I saw someone get Dead God after unlocking and picking up Plum Flute and was basically "you MONSTER! You killed her every time?!" If at any point during this you end up with 99 pennies, spend them all in the same shop without leaving it to grab the Golden Razor and Member Card.Īlways SPARE Baby Plum. Cain, Jacob, Eden and The Forgotten all unlock challenges as well. Keep unlocking Tainted characters until you've got all you can stand, and beat Mega Satan with as many of them as possible (except Tainted Lost, and not just because that's too hard). Antibirth adds 16 new bosses and a few variants on existing bosses. Upon defeat, most bosses will drop an item from the boss item pool. The boss for a particular floor is chosen from the pool of bosses for the environment of the floor. Bloody Mary gives a very good trinket, but it's also really hard. The boss at the end of the floor must be defeated to advance to the next floor. The former is a lot easier than you'd expect for a fight against Mother because Spirit Sword is just that good. Next: do the Isaac's Awakening and Scat Man challenges. Look up how the various Tainted characters work and pick one you think you'll like they play so differently from regular characters that any recommendation is just an opinion. The Red Key! Do the Ascent you just unlocked, it hardly matters who because you probably won't beat The Beast on your first try. This is really more of a "two birds with one stone" thing because Revelation is insane and your next unlock is. First off, unlock Bethany and use her to defeat Mother (the one that used to be The Witness).

Flash wiki savitar5/25/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() In the Arrowverse, the Negative Speed Force is an artificial extradimensional source of energy which Eobard Thawne created some time in the future. She then proceeds to circle him at super speed and absorbs the Negative Speed Force into herself. But Meena later betrays Barry and Wally, the full force of Black Hole appearing and capturing the speedsters, Meena seemingly as their leader. She orders him to test the full destructive power of its energies at a Demolition Derby, the results shattering windows and flipping nearby cars. Ī few days later, Meena Dhawan returns and tells Barry that the negative aspect of the Speed Force is conflicting with the remnants of the positive in his system and is slowly killing him. Barry's aura remains quiet when he runs alongside his partner. It would appear the Negative Speed Force can be kept in check to an extent by its opposite, the positive Speed Force as Barry and Wally stop a jewelry store robbery by Black Spider. Wally West later volunteers to train Barry to control his new destructive abilities. He later, unfortunately, learns the Negative Speed Force is also playing havoc with his emotions, causing him to snap at David Singh and the destructive aura surrounding him is exacerbated by anger. Barry soon realizes his accelerated metabolism has diminished since his exposure and takes longer to heal from superficial wounds such as those received from his battle with Shrapnel. Īfter Iris West killed Thawne, the Negative Speed Force seemed to remain within Barry's system causing him to accidentally produce destructive force waves around him, blowing up an armored truck after saving its drivers from the Road Reapers. Barry somehow escapes and returns to the 25th century, and promises he'll kill Thawne. Instead, Barry's Speed Force connection is corrupted, now gaining a Negative Speed Force connection as well as a different look. Thawne leads Barry to the Negative Speed Force, as he figures that it will keep him trapped there forever. The energies have turned from red to black to further emphasize its "negative" and poisonous properties. Thawne can tap into it as normal speedsters can with the normal Speed Force, but with its own unique energy signature. In the Post-Flashpoint universe, and after the events of DC Rebirth, it is revealed that the Negative Speed Force still exists and that Eobard Thawne is still the creator and generator of it. He used it to infect and corrupt Barry, in the hopes that the Negative Speed Force would consume Barry's loved ones and other speedsters who rely on it, consuming Barry in grief so that he'd merge with the Speed Force. Like Barry Allen with the Speed Force, Thawne himself is also the generator of the Negative Speed Force with every step that he runs. It is an extra-dimensional field of negative energy that eats away at the regular Speed Force like a cancer and can consume any speedster connected to it by touch.

Zazu lion king5/25/2023 Zazu pleads Timon to let him out of the ribcage he is imprisoned in, but Timon goes inside the ribcage instead as he is pursued by the hyenas. The lionesses, Timon, Pumbaa, and Rafiki battle the hyenas while Simba battles his uncle. ![]() Later on, Simba returns to reclaim his throne. When the hyenas come in to complain about the lack of food and water, Scar casually tells them to eat Zazu (although Scar also likely suggested to the Hyenas that they eat Zazu specifically as revenge for Zazu earlier mentioning Scar's brother in a favorable light compared to Scar under his breath), and he frantically insists that he'd be "so tough and gamey and eyugh!" although the Hyenas ultimately decide not to eat him, unknowingly agreeing with Zazu about Mufasa being better. In this scene, Zazu is imprisoned and is being forced to entertain Scar by singing songs like "Nobody Knows the Troubles I've Seen" and "I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts" (but not before briefly singing the lyrics of "It's a Small World"). Zazu also briefly appears years later, in a scene after Scar has assumed the kingship of the Pride Lands. He and the pride are then seen watching in horror as Scar allows the hyenas into the Pride Lands. After Simba runs away, Zazu is seen comforting Sarabi when Scar informs the pride that both Mufasa and Simba have been killed in the stampede. As he watches the stampede, he wants to go back for help but is struck by Scar into a wall and rendered unconscious. Zazu is then ordered to take Nala home while Mufasa has a word with Simba.ĭuring the wildebeest stampede engineered by Scar and his minions to kill both his brother and nephew, it is Zazu who leads Mufasa to Simba. He manages to find Mufasa and lead him to the cubs, just in time to save them from the hyenas, although it is also implied shortly after the hyenas flee that Mufasa, in addition to being upset with Simba for deliberately disobeying him by going to the Elephant Graveyard, is also upset at Zazu for failing to keep watch on the cubs. Zazu is inserted into the hyenas' "birdie boiler" geyser which rockets him up to the sky. Zazu later catches up with them, but they encounter the three hyenas Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed. In fact, Simba has earlier been lured by Scar to go to the Elephant Graveyard, and after the song "I Just Can't Wait to Be King", Simba and Nala successfully lose Zazu and go to the graveyard. He is ordered to watch over Simba and Nalaby Sarabi when Simba claims he wants to go to the waterhole with Nala. ![]() When Simba has grown into a cub, Zazu is often ridiculed by him, being the target in Simba's pouncing lessons. When Scar leaves, Zazu humorously suggests to Mufasa that Scar would make an excellent rug. He later confronts Scar on his absence from the ceremony and is almost eaten by him until Mufasa arrives. ![]() He is first seen in the film during the opening sequence in which Simba is presented. As King Mufasa's majordomo and close friend (he is one of the few who calls Mufasa by his name), he is very serious and always sticks to the rules.

![]() The heavy, pliable composite makes minis that are nearly indestructible, but it also leaves their features soft and their flat bases sometimes warp. Previous editions of Descent have included similar plastic miniatures made of PVC. That’s right: Fantasy Flight is paying a premium to ship half-empty boxes from China. The final product is fan service all the way down, including into the empty void at the bottom of the box to hold all that cardboard terrain safely between games. Many have attempted to copy its complexity, but none have yet matched its success.įantasy Flight reasoned that if consumers were ready to put down that much money for new, unproven designs on Kickstarter, why not go the extra mile for fans, new and old, of Descent? It’s the kind of extravagance that tabletop fans can only dream about - or one that hobbyists will spend months or years crafting by hand - and soon it will be available in stores. Even though it costs $150, it remains one of the most critically and commercially successful new products of this generation. The nearly 20-pound retail product comes with dozens of miniatures, hundreds of cards, and a similar two-dimensional collection of terrain and cardboard monsters. The most popular game in the dungeon-crawling genre, called Gloomhaven, disrupted the entire industry when it launched a crowdfunding campaign in 2015. This kind of production value would be out of the question for a $60 game, but the market has changed considerably over the last five years. ![]() It includes more than 20 individual cardboard terrain components. One of our graphic designers, Joe Olson, suggested it and then it just kind of started to snowball.”Ī sample set-up based loosely on the stock photography on the back of the box. “That punch board,” producer Jason Walden told Polygon, “was not part of the original vision. Imagine the most intricate dioramas, the type created for shows like Critical Role and Dimension 20, all rendered in papercraft, and you’re on the right track. Best of all is a clever set of notched columns that allow you to create platforms that rise up off the surface of the table. There are double-sided floor tiles with special underlays representing water and lava massive double doors in multiple designs bookcases and magical cauldrons spell books mounted on tables, and more. After the better part of two hours of carefully popping things out and gingerly assembling everything, I had all the bits needed to create a massive 3D level from a dungeon. There’s also a four-page leaflet filled with instructions. Opening up the big blue box, I encountered a nearly two-inch thick stack of cardboard punch boards. |
