![]() ![]() ![]() On January 11, 1975, the team played its first game at the Hartford Civic Center in front of a sellout crowd. The Civic Center was still being finished when the 1974–75 season began, so the Whalers played the first part of the 1974–75 season at The Big E Coliseum in West Springfield, Massachusetts. Aside from various minor league teams in New Haven, the area had been largely bereft of professional hockey until the Whalers' arrival. The city had hoped to get an American Basketball Association team as the main tenant, but when that fell through, city leaders got in touch with the Whalers. Hartford was about to open a new, modern downtown arena and convention center, the Hartford Civic Center. Fed up with the situation, Baldwin decided to move elsewhere. However, the Garden was owned by the rival NHL Bruins, and the Whalers found themselves fourth in priority for dates behind the Bruins, Boston Celtics and even the American Hockey League's Boston Braves. The club played its first season's home games at Boston Garden and Boston Arena. Behind legendary ex- Boston University head coach Jack Kelley, the team defeated the Winnipeg Jets to win the inaugural WHA championship. Webster led the team in scoring and through the playoffs. The Whalers had the WHA's best regular season record in the 1972–73 season. Olympians on the Whalers' roster ( Minnesotans Timothy Sheehy and Tommy Williams) had spent a significant part of their careers in Boston with Boston College and the Bruins, respectively. Olympic hockey team members Larry Pleau (who had been a regular with the Montreal Canadiens the previous season), Kevin Ahearn, John Cunniff and Paul Hurley. New England signed an unusually large number of American players, including Massachusetts natives and former U.S. The team began auspiciously, signing former Detroit Red Wings star Tom Webster, hard rock Boston Bruins' defenseman Ted Green (the team's inaugural captain), Toronto Maple Leafs' defensemen Rick Ley, Jim Dorey and Brad Selwood, and former Pittsburgh Penguins' goaltender Al Smith.

![]() ![]() It’s also beautiful from an aesthetic standpoint, it’s very calming and relaxed (making it an easier learning environment, as you’re not ramped up on anxiety) and is one of the only levels to take place at night, and the music for this level is also one of the best in the soundtrack, I listen to it on repeat to study a lot. I believe it’s also the first level to have a treasure box and key, so it introduces a lot of gameplay concepts that carry through the rest of the game in an intuitive way, with little environmental hazards or glides (as you have already learned how to glide at this point) leaving you to only focus on various enemy types and puzzles. It introduces these concepts in an environment that makes it easy to learn, and a memorable way that you remember for the rest of the game. ![]() ![]() It’s the first level in the game that introduces alternate enemy types, like giant enemies that have to be flamed, or enemies wearing armor that have to be charged. I personally like it from both a design and aesthetic viewpoint.
![]() ![]() Schreier’s sources told him that the game is in “early development” and is still “years away,” which suggests the company is taking its time to create yet another open-world masterpiece. GTA 6 has been confirmed to be in development by Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier in March, but Rockstar has yet to make any official announcements about the game. The company further refined RAGE for the 2018 release of Red Dead Redemption 2, so a huge upgrade before GTA 6 is all but guaranteed. The Inverse Analysis - Rockstar created GTA 5 on its proprietary Rockstar Advanced Game Engine (RAGE) software, which was completely reconstructed and modernized in preparation for the game’s launch. Light bouncing off of a Ferrari in the Natural Visions 'GTA 5' mod. Plus, if Natural Visions has already blown your mind, GTA 6 could seriously up the ante by outclassing even high-end mods like this in terms of graphics. However, it's already been confirmed that both the PS5 and Xbox Series X have the hardware needed to support ray tracing, so these kinds of stunning graphics won’t be exclusive to PC for much longer. But the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X were released before that, so those top-of-the-line current-gen consoles rely on more traditional kinds of light simulation that appear less realistic. High-end PCs have been capable of supporting ray tracing in games since late 2018. Razed assures his supporters that Natural Vision will be made available to the public on a GTA 5 mod sharing site eventually, but for now, the early version is being offered behind a Patreon paywal to help him and his team continue their work. “It required me to modify hundreds of files / variables, several 3D models, and numerous textures to achieve a result that would bring the game to the next-generation of graphics.” “I've spent multiple years crafting the latest version of one of my mods,” Razed writes on the Patreon page. This massive revamp of the 2013 game’s graphics hints at the graphical standards we can expect from the series with the eventual release of GTA 6. The mod uses ray tracing - a graphics technique that simulates how light acts in real life - to make all of its upgraded assets look like a scene out of an action movie. Natural Visions offers a complete overhaul of GTA 5’s lighting system, ambient colors, textures, and building models. (Only Natural Visions’ Patreon supporters can download the mod.) The PC-only mod is still a work-in-progress, but its creator Jamal “Razed” Rashid teased an early-access version of the mod with a gorgeous May 15 trailer. The GTA V Natural Visions Evolved mod essentially turns an adventure in Los Santos into a live-action movie. With the game now cracked open, we should start to see some more impressive mods in the coming weeks - although we’ll still have to see if the community will have the power to do some of the craziest stuff it accomplished with the last game.Grand Theft Auto Vfans have been eagerly awaiting any official news from Rockstar Games about Grand Theft Auto VI for over a year now, but thanks to a new GTA 5 graphics mod for the PC version, gamers can get a taste of what next-gen GTA might look like someday soon. This enables anyone to get into and edit GTA data files. OpenIV, the hacking group that released the tools that enabled easy modding of Grand Theft Auto IV, has just released version 2.5 of its software. Right now, the mod scene is looking a little underfed.

Give the rival a goal with strength being only a means to an end, so that being strong or allied to you is just as useful to them as being stronger than you. Rival battles are framed as friendly already, just keep that and don't make the player end their dreams by being stronger. You don't have to stop battling them, as the previous person seems to think, just because you're not opposed to them. You can't both be champion, but you can be champion while they defeat the evil team/complete the pokedex/see the whole region/whatever other goals you can achieve in Pokemon. ![]() And sure, it could still be a bit of a who's the strongest/who's way of looking at the world is right, but it's not about who will succeed over the other, which can only be achieved with non-mutually exclusive goals. You're not trying to beat the other person, you're just showing off how much stronger you both are. Or at the very least, competition without conflict. I think the point that is being overlooked here is that if the rival is friendly, then battling them should be about bonding instead of competition. In the future, if the rival HAS to be the players friend, can we please give then a goal other than the players? With Hugh, every defeat is actually good for his goal, because he knows your strong enough to be trusted. It doesn't feel good to make your friend sad all the time. Beating Hop and destroying his dreams doesn't feel satisfying because Hop isn't antagonistic. And he actually did it! (With obvious help from the PC of course)Ĭompare that to Hop, who is also a friend, but his goal is to become champion like his brother Leon. He didn't set out to become league champion, he simply wanted to get back what was stolen from him, and destroy team plasma so it can't happen again. At the end of victory road, he encourages you to challenge the league, because his job is done. His motivation isn't to be league champion like most others, but to get revenge on Team Plasma for stealing his sisters Purrloin, that we learn later was captured by his late grandfather. He HATES team plasma, and this is where the genius of his character come across. Hugh is nice to the player character like all modern rivals, but he clearly still has an edge to him. While some have been worse than others (Ruby and Sapphire is easily the worst as you battle May all of 4 times and don't see her starters final form.) The only one I think really succeeds is Hugh. Its clear that after gen 2 GF decided the rival shouldn't be an antagonist.

![]() Solvent effects are not only observed in reactions of small molecules also covalent polymerizations are known to be strongly influenced by solvents. (27) More detailed discussions on solvent effects on chemical reactivity can be found in several excellent reviews and textbooks. (25) Later, alternative methods, which are easier to determine than Winstein’s Y-scale, have been developed by among others Kosower (26) and Dimroth and Reichardt. (24) Interestingly, the often observed linear dependency of reaction rates on solvent composition originates from a complex interplay between enthalpic and entropic variations as the solvent composition changes ( Figure 1a). (22,23) Winstein and Grunwald (22) showed that the rate of a chemical reaction in reference to the rate in 80 vol % ethanol in water mixture can be expressed with, with k being the reaction rate, k 0 the rate in the ethanol–water mixture, m a parameter indicating the reaction sensitivity to solvent ionizing power, and Y a measure for ionizing power of the solvent. ![]() (16)Īlthough many different interactions are balanced in solvation effects in chemical reactions, the effects of solvents on reaction rates of elementary reactions can be efficiently described through linear relationships. Additionally, the dynamic nature of the noncovalent interactions typically renders supramolecular polymers self-healing and enables easy recycling. (13,14) This stimuli-responsiveness facilitates straightforward processing of these materials by simply changing, for example, temperature or concentration. (15) This dynamic nature of the noncovalent interactions renders supramolecular polymers highly responsive to various external factors and stimuli, such as temperature, solvent and concentration. Contrasting to macromolecules or covalent polymers, the backbone of supramolecular polymers is highly dynamic, with typical lifetimes of an intermonomeric bond between 1 ms and 1 min. (13,14) The strength of these interactions is typically in the range of 10–100 kJ/mol, rather than the hundreds of kJ/mol characteristic for covalent bonds. In supramolecular polymers, the repeating monomeric units of the polymer are held together by one or more noncovalent interactions, such as hydrogen bonding, π-stacking, charge-transfer interactions, metal–ligand coordination, ionic interactions, and hydrophobic or solvophobic effects. The many exciting effects of solvents in supramolecular polymerizations make these “mostly forgotten” details worth revisiting. Through decades of detailed studies in physical organic chemistry, chemists arrived at a high level of understanding on the role of solvent properties, chemical structure, and the outcome of chemical reactions. Several such examples are discussed in this Perspective. In many mixtures, solvent–solvent mesoscale phase separation occurs, for instance, in aqueous solutions of THF or alcohols, which influences chemical reactions and dissolution of solutes especially at the composition where these phase transitions occur. Whereas the role of individual solvents with solutes has become well-documented, special attention is needed for solvent combinations. (1) Although chemist use solvents every day in their laboratory to dissolve molecules, it is still an educated guess to select which solvent for which solute. The interactions between solvents and their solutes are widely regarded as one of the most important topics in organic chemistry and are central in controlling solubility, reactivity, and structure. Our aim is to put the recent progress into a historical context and provide avenues toward a more comprehensive understanding of solvents in multicomponent supramolecular systems. As a result, many exciting effects of solute–solvent interactions in modern physical organic chemistry can be studied using supramolecular polymers. ![]() The cooperativity found in ordered supramolecular polymers leads to the possibility of amplifying these solute–solvent effects and will shed light on extremely subtle solvation phenomena. The multiple interactions that hold the supramolecular polymeric structure together are similar in strength to those between solute and solvent. Although solvent effects in supramolecular chemistry have been recognized for a long time, the unique opportunities that supramolecular polymers offer to gain insight into solute–solvent interactions have become clear relatively recently. In recent years, a renewed interest in fundamental aspects of solute–solvent interactions has been sparked in the field of supramolecular chemistry in general and that of supramolecular polymers in particular. Interactions between solvents and solutes are a cornerstone of physical organic chemistry and have been the subject of investigations over the last century. ![]() ![]() Special Judge MK Nagpal granted relief to Mukerjea, the erstwhile director and COO of INX Media.
