Creeping thyme ground cover seeds5/17/2023 ![]() Several cultivars have been produced, of which 'Pink Chintz' has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. It may also be used to replace a bluegrass lawn to xeriscape low to moderate foot traffic areas due to its tolerance for low water and poor soils. serpyllum are used as border plants and ground cover around gardens and stone paths. Cultivation Ĭreeping and mounding variants of T. serpyllum contain thymol, carvacrol, limonene, paracymene, gamma-terpinene and beta-caryophyllene. Wild thyme is one of the plants on which both the common blue butterfly and large blue butterfly larvae feed and it is also attractive to bees. It is a plant of thin soils and can be found growing on sandy-soiled heaths, rocky outcrops, hills, banks, roadsides and riverside sand banks. Wild thyme is native to the Palearctic realm of Europe and Asia. The fruit is a dry, four-chambered schizocarp. Each flower has four projecting stamens and two fused carpels. The upper petal is notched and the lower one is larger than the two lateral petals and has three flattened lobes which form a lip. The usually pink or mauve flowers have a tube-like calyx and an irregular straight-tubed, hairy corolla. ![]() The plant sends up erect flowering shoots in summer. The leaves are in opposite pairs, nearly stalkless, with linear elliptic round-tipped blades and untoothed margins. It forms matlike plants that root from the nodes of the squarish, limp stems. Wild thyme is a creeping dwarf evergreen shrub with woody stems and a taproot. The hardy plant tolerates some pedestrian traffic and produces odors ranging from heavily herbal to lightly lemon, depending on the variety. The strongly scented flowers are either lilac, pink-purple, magenta, or a rare white, all 4–6 mm long and produced in clusters. The oval evergreen leaves are 3–8 mm long. It is a low, usually prostrate subshrub growing to 2 cm (1 in) tall with creeping stems up to 10 cm (4 in) long. Thymus serpyllum, known by the common names of Breckland thyme, Breckland wild thyme, wild thyme, creeping thyme, or elfin thyme, is a species of flowering plant in the mint family Lamiaceae, native to most of Europe and North Africa. Thymus subhirsutus Borbás & Heinr.Braun.

Chevy volt range mileage5/16/2023 ![]() If the Volts 18.4-kWh, 53-mile battery pack gets. More information on Chevrolet models can be found at . Volt: The beauty of a plug-in hybrid like the Chevy Volt is that it eliminates so-called range anxiety. Chevrolet provides customers with fuel-efficient vehicles that feature spirited performance, expressive design and high quality. Roughly two-thirds of those miles were powered by grid electricity.įounded in 1911 in Detroit, Chevrolet is now one of the world's largest car brands, doing business in more than 140 countries and selling more than 4 million cars and trucks a year. 2013 Chevy Volt Gets 38-Mile Electric Range, Higher 98-MPGe Rating How Far CAN The 2012 Chevrolet Volt Travel On Electricity Alone 2013 Chevy Volt, OnStar, Is Smart-Grid Ready: The. Volt owners have travelled more than 65 million miles since the vehicle launched late 2010. When the Volt’s battery runs low, a gas-powered engine/generator seamlessly operates to extend the driving range another 344 miles on a full tank. The tests have revealed less battery degradation, the ability to withstand temperatures as low as -30 degrees Celsius and less impact by energy throughput.įor the first 38 miles, the Volt can drive gas and tailpipe-emissions free using a full charge of electricity stored in its 16.5-kWh lithium-ion battery. A full recharge using a 120V could take 10.5 hours and 4.25 hours using a 240V charging unit.Ĭells with improved chemistry have accumulated 150,000 test miles to date. The improved EV range capability will result in slight increases to the Volt’s charge times. The battery system maintains a buffer to ensure battery life, but that buffer has been reduced. In addition, the total storage capacity of the Volt battery has been increased from 16 kWh of energy to 16.5 kWh, and engineers have expanded the state-of-charge window to use 10.8 kWh of the total battery energy – up from 10.3 kWh used in the 2012 model. “This attention to detail will allow our customers to experience more pure EV range, which is the true benefit of owning a Volt.” We’ve done some work at the cell level to modify the ‘ingredients’ to make a better end result,” said Bill Wallace, GM director of Global Battery Systems Engineering. Sometimes if you use more sugar and less vanilla you get a better tasting cake. “The best way to explain what we’ve done at the cell level is to compare it to a cake batter recipe. Manganese spinel chemistry remains the foundation for the Volt’s battery system, but the amount of each material has been slightly modified to provide better life performance. ![]() The miles per gallon equivalent (MPGe) will increase from 94 miles to 98 miles and the total range, including extended range operation, will be 380 miles.īased on real-world experience by Volt owners since the vehicle launched in late 2010, engineers made minor changes to the material composition of the battery cell chemistry, resulting in improved performance and durability. DETROIT – The all-electric vehicle range of the 2013 Chevrolet Volt will be 38 miles on a single charge, providing owners with a three-mile EV range increase from the 2012 model.

Battlezone 2 windows 105/16/2023 For starters, there are no dialogue subtitles. The only other nitpicks we wanted to bring up, that could still be sorted out with a patch, are a few UI and menu issues. Explosions are a bit weedy, which is a shame, and the few cutscenes are hideously low-res, but that’s it as far as graphical complaints go. Models are simple but they have a neat Tron-like style (which explains why Rebellion’s Battlezone VR is even more clearly Tron-inspired). The landscapes in particularly are gorgeously textured, with a lovely sheen you wouldn’t expect from 1999. While not a remake on the level of the new Shadow of the Colossus, Rebellion and Big Boat’s remaster does have the game looking surprisingly great. Our system is an AMD FX-6300 Six-Core Processor, 16 Gb RAM, Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti 4Gb, and Windows 10 64-Bit, and we sailed through everything in full settings. Graphics: DirectX® 11.0 compatible graphics card with 1GB of memoryĪs you can tell, the requirements for Battlezone: Combat Commander aren’t particularly system-taxing. Processor: 3.0 GHz Intel Core2 Duo/AMD Phenom II OS: 64-bit Windows 7, 64-bit Windows 8.1 or 64-bit Windows 10 Missions in Battlezone 2 are never boring and every level feels different from the last. Attacking bases with Mortar Bikes, escorting a Mobile Recycler over an unstable ice field, rescuing a fellow pilot while the AI mounts an assault, investigating ruins, being stripped of a vehicle and forced to avoid Scion forces on foot, and all that before we even mention building an entire base and army and leading a full assault on a Scion base. Battlezone 2 missions vary wildly in objectives and things to do. Then again, we can’t think of another game that offers this kind of variety. And then maybe that Tank wouldn’t have strayed into the firing line of that turret. We’d honestly much rather have less options than a confusing crapton of them. It’s certainly possible to get used to them, but having to traverse multiple menus trying to work out where the Turrets are to build, while Scion are shooting the place up (there are no pause commands), made us long for a regular RTS where we can just click on it. ![]() The developer, who if Wikipedia are correct were actually Star Wars Battlefront and Mercenaries creators Pandemic, did a fairly good job of giving players full RTS and Action Shooter game controls while making things as easy to use as possible – which is to say, not very at all. ![]() Even ignoring that, Battlezone is still tough and the Scion give no quarter.Īnd then there are the controls. Almost all the time you’re left to figure out how things work, or what does what, or – whoops, that’s a shame, a Scion tank snuck by and annihilated the base while that menu was open. There’s no tutorial since you would’ve been expected to read the manual, but the odd thing is that the game takes great pains to introduce you to certain things and ease you into the base-building stuff… then it forgets to tell you important stuff, like how to get ammo, how to repair buildings, and if your vehicle gets destroyed what the heck do you do next? Die, usually. For one, Battlezone 2 really throws the player in the deep end without enough information.

Strawberry pretzel pie5/16/2023 If the ice cream in question promises to be sweet, why chock it full of unbalanced salt or bitterness, or a string of “buzzy,” viral ingredients? Or, if advertising a “mystery flavor” like Van Leeuwen’s totally not obvious Glass Onion flavor - which combined bourbon, caramelized onion jam, honeycomb, and greek yogurt - maybe consider ingredients that call back to the film without incorporating enough onion jam that even paid actors struggled to convince viewers they enjoyed the experience? These attempts try to be so clever that they end up missing the point, and failing to deliver on their flavor’s initial promise. Many limited-edition riffs go wrong right out of the gate by overpromising. So, in an unapologetically selfish plea to the powers that be, I’ve laid out some simple requests for the future flavors sure to drop as part of whatever marketing stunt comes next. But lately, it seems we’ve lost the thread in terms of what made these collaborations so invigorating, so exciting, so delightfully unserious in the first place. This whimsical approach to unexpected ice cream flavors isn’t new. And while some of these experiments have been surprisingly successful (looking at you, Kraft), many of them have haunted both my mind and stomach. However, ice cream has been going off the rails.įrom Jeni’s shortbread-inspired pints celebrating the premiere of Ted Lasso’s third season and Van Leeuwen’s onion-based Glass Onion monstrosity to trending flavors like ranch or Kraft macaroni and cheese, things have gotten more than a little weird in the dairy department. It’s basically a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. It’s an ideal canvas for creative chefs and burgeoning entrepreneurs, a vehicle for unfamiliar flavor combinations, a welcome respite for even the pickiest eaters, and a soothing vessel of summertime and childhood nostalgia. Shockingly few things are as universally beloved and unproblematic as ice cream. ![]() Too often in human history (and in Jurassic Park), we ask ourselves, “Can we?” when the real question worth asking is, “Should we?” Little else embodies this sentiment better than what is currently the bane of my existence as a person with taste buds: the latest wave of attention-grabbing ice cream flavors and collaborations.

Realm royale changes5/16/2023 ![]() That’s kind of preserved here with our system in Realm Royale. If you look at SMITE, there’s a lot of different build paths and ways that you can play each character in different roles. If you look at Paladins, there’s the whole card-building deck building system to customise your loadout. One of the big things for Hi-Rez Games in general is a lot of opportunities for player choice and expression. It’s more like you’re picking a path to go down rather than being locked into ‘this is the only way I can play this class’. You can use the same abilities as other classes but the Mage is going to use it better. The Hunter is better with the bow, and the Mage has an ability that lets you fly through the air. Mick: The classes are Warrior, Hunter, Mage, Assassin. Then we figured out a way to make a class system that can use everything but wants to play a certain way. The way Paladins is made doesn’t allow one character to have another character’s gun, so we built a game where that was possible – to get you different weapons, different abilities. James: One of the big things that we wanted was to get tactile with the loot and when we were in Paladins: Battlegrounds that was a problem we had because we couldn’t give you a new gun. The way Paladins is made doesn’t allow one character to have another character’s gun, so we built a game where that was possible So, we quickly branched off of Paladins, stayed within that universe and IP, but began to explore the relationship between classes and finding your loot, and then also introducing more objective-based gameplay with the Forges, which we thought were an innovative step in the battle royale genre. It became apparent during the production of that game mode that where we wanted to take it with objective-based gameplay - the way that classes would work with an open-ended battle royale experience - that the Paladins characters were a little too compartmentalised for what we wanted to do with the game and when we released it, it wasn’t necessarily bad – actually, a lot of players started flocking to it to try it out within Paladins – but it was apparent that we couldn’t really go far with where we wanted to go being within Paladins. From the get-go we knew we wanted to make a fantasy themed, class-based battle royale. We did demo the first iteration of the Paladins: Battlegrounds battle royale mode at our annual HRX Event in January 2017 and got very positive reception there and then we went full force on making that a game mode within Paladins. Mick: I was involved with that whole process, on that prototype and game mode, and then when we went into full production on Realm as a standalone game. What was behind the decision to rebrand the game when it spun out into its own thing? Realm Royale started out as Paladins: Battlegrounds, a mode inside Paladins. The number of players will whittle down until there’s one player or one team ending victorious. We take a large number of players against each other - they’re going to choose classes with different abilities and different end goals and play styles to try and gain an advantage over the course of a match. James: Realm Royale is a class-based Battle Royale. How would you describe Realm Royale to a Switch gamer who perhaps hasn’t seen it on other platforms? Oh, and chickens.įirst, a little history for anybody who isn’t familiar with the game. ![]() We sat down with lead designer James Horgan, executive producer Mick Larkins and brand director Alex Cantatore for an exclusive chat about about the game's origins, working with Nintendo and the challenges involved with building and maintaining a quality battle royale game. ![]() ![]() There's more to Realm Royale than meets the eye, though, with a focus on fantasy, forging and - above all - fun. After launching as a beta on other platforms, the game appears to continue Hi-Rez's line of quality Switch versions, and as a cartoony-style F2P battle royale, it gives off strong Fortnite vibes at first glance. It joins team-based first-person shooter Paladins and MOBA SMITE to form a trinity of games set in the same universe. Following weeks of rumours and leaks suggesting that Hi-Rez Studios was bringing its free-to-play battle royale Realm Royale to Switch, we can exclusively confirm that the game is coming to Nintendo's console.

Skatebird game5/16/2023 Although not outstanding by any means, it pulls off the look of an indie skateboarding game well enough. Regarding its textures and environmental details, Skatebird is serviceable. However, in Skatebird it only extends the combo’s duration for a short time making it useless in most situations. In most skateboarding games, manuals are used as a skill-based mechanic to extend a combo in areas without ramps and rails. I will say, though, that I don’t like how manualing works. Being able to propel yourself from one ledge to another and follow that up with a well-worked grind is satisfying. With practice, this can result in some fun transitions between grinds and transfers. Furthermore, your wings can be used to propel yourself in the air in the middle of an aerial trick. You can squawk mid-ride to extend a combo, which is nice as it makes chaining together big tricks more forgiving. I do appreciate that the developers have made an attempt to make the bird aspect of Skatebird more than just a funny pun. There’s something not right about this blunt. It’s never a nice feeling to have to start over because of something that wasn’t even your fault. It’s especially true on the missions that require large points combos, as you can lose an entire streak due to an unpredictable physics-related bug. These aren’t game-breaking glitches by any means, but they can be frustrating. Equally, I encountered several instances of the camera glitching out as I got stuck on certain surfaces. There are times wherein the middle of a trick you will randomly turn 180 degrees and fall off your skateboard. The physics engine in particular can get awfully janky. That covers all of the basics that you would expect in a skateboarding game.ĭespite it feeling fun to play most of the time, there are exceptions. You can ollie, grind, lip, flip trick, grab trick, and transfer. Moves chain together reasonably well, and there’s enough variety to keep combos interesting. For the most part, skating in this game is satisfying. Thankfully, Skatebird is nothing like Ride. The game’s blatant flaws completely overshadowed any of the good ideas present. Just look at the state of 2009’s Tony Hawk’s Ride, arguably the worst skateboarding game ever released. That sounds obvious, but this alone can make or break a game in this genre. Flying highĪ skateboarding game is nothing without its skating. That one is worth checking out purely for the experience. One of them is literally just a guy narrating bird facts over a beat. It’s not necessarily bad, but there are some songs that are just weird. While I’m on the topic of music, Skatebird has a bizarre soundtrack. Finding these collectibles unlocks new customization options for your bird as well as additional songs. Some of these are easy to find, while others will require some extra exploration. ![]() Outside of story missions, there are a variety of collectibles that can be found at each park. Funnily enough, the real world isn’t designed to be tackled by skateboard, so these adjustments are appreciated. Glass Bottom Games took some liberties with each location to make them easier to navigate. There are five skate parks in total that vary from a skyscraper rooftop to a living room, to a worker’s office. Each of these locations has its own fair share of new challenges and obstacles to overcome. Similar to the Tony Hawk games of old, you progress through the story visiting new maps on the way. It exists solely as an excuse to send the player to various areas. Using the power of sick tricks, you and your companions are going to help get Big Friend back on track. They aren’t happy with their life, and it’s up to you to help them turn things around. Your originally named bird compatriot, Big Friend, has retired from skateboarding. You play as a highly customizable bird and you help your bird friends achieve all of their skating goals. Skatebird is a skating game, developed by Glass Bottom Games, with an avian twist. Our indie friends are giving it a good go too, as shown by Skatebird. ![]() ![]() But they are now back, and it’s not just the big AAA publishers making them. Once a staple throughout the 2000s, skateboarding games gradually fell out of favor. With the Tony Hawk series returning to form last year, the skating genre has seen somewhat of a revival.
