I think the most significant difference between the games is the survival mechanic. Subnautica is an open-world survival action-adventure game developed and published by Unknown Worlds Entertainment. So let’s take a look at some games that share elements with Satisfactory. The game was received well even though it’s still in early access it’s one of the more polished ones and has a ton of content enough to keep players engaged for hours on, that is if they want a soothing and relaxing game to play. There is an excellent sense of progression from mining copper to building a nuclear power plant. Still, the most incredible moment in the game was when I went up to the tower to look at my factory as it spanned the horizons I could see the first machine I ever built far away, so tiny. There is an end goal, and Coffee Stain Studios (the developer) added some enemies and vehicles to the game for variety’s sake, I suppose. The point of the game is not to beat it but rather to marvel at your creation. The more pause you take before your actions and get the order of things right, it makes for a pleasing experience. But, in my opinion, that is the beauty of the game. At the same time, it is entirely possible to build an unclean factory with no organization it severely limits the scope of progress for the player.Ī factory built haphazardly without any thought put into future expansions would jeopardize the playthrough leading to frustrations or complete revamp of the factory. ![]() Games like Satisfactory always maintain a heavy focus on the cleanliness and organization of the factory. I say pseudo because it is possible to traverse to any of these biomes within the world, so it’s more of a decision of more resources vs more space for an organized factory. Players can choose their starting location, which is a pseudo-difficulty selection. Satisfactory sees the player assume the role of an engineer far ahead in the future, working for a gazillion-dollar company called FICSIT (get it?). Enter Satisfactory, a simulation game with just an open-world and infinite possibilities. ![]() Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy challenging games a lot, but it’s good to sit down and play a game at your own pace every once in a while. I have often found myself wanting to play a game without the stress or tension of winning. ![]() ![]() Usefully, it has a version that will run straight off a USB stick. There are also Android and iOS variants principally for post-processing, as well as a command line batch processor for scripting ( NConvert). ![]() XnView Classic is the core product (for Windows), with a family of related applications that hang off it, including a less well-featured multi-platform (MacOS and Linux) version and specialist post-processing (Sketch and Retro) apps. I often find I want to directly add text or make some simple pixel corrections (erase/clone). What would I most like to see? Some pixel-level editing would be nice. Stick with something like Lightroom that is designed for the job. While the latter works okay, the former is fiddly to apply. It does allow tagging (with preset categories) and starring. My least favorite feature? When I said that XnView doesn’t do DAM, that’s not strictly correct. When I produce an online wedding album, I tend to export the full-resolution images from Lightroom and then resize them in XnView for upload to Pixieset. XnView is just fast, and with nearly all commands having a keyboard shortcut, there is no fuss.īy far, the standout feature for me is the batch processing: virtually any of the processing features in XnView can be set to run across groups of files (for example, resizing, adding watermarks, or producing overlay text. For example, when I produce an Fstoppers article, I need a banner image that’s 1000 x 570 pixels. It’s a quick resize to 1000 pixels wide, then a custom selection that is set to 570 pixels high. For my post-production work, this covers pretty much everything I need to do. It is also an image-level editor, allowing easy resize, rotate and crop (including lossless JPEG), simple adjustments (brightness, contrast, levels, color depth), and filter effects (such as blur, sharpen, noise reduction). XnView does this with aplomb, supporting over 500 file formats (usefully including multipage TIFFs) and allowing thumbnails, film strips or slideshows, as well as producing contact sheets. ![]() I usually export my images as JPEG/TIFF for clients and print houses once processing is complete, so after that, I need something quick to browse directories of images, review metadata, crop, rotate, batch rename/resize, print contact sheets, and apply quick grayscaling or levels adjustments. So, is this really that useful? I do all my DAM in Lightroom and when I want more selective, layer-based edits, I move to Affinity. It doesn't do DAM (digital asset management) or pixel-level editing. Before I go any further, let me clarify what it doesn't do. It supports a vast array of file formats, allows simple image level manipulations, and has a powerful batch-processing engine. And my vote goes to XnView, an application built from the ground up to view images quickly - very quickly. So when it comes to image viewers, I'm after something that allows me to eyeball photos quickly, supports masses of file formats, has flexible batch-processing, and launches fast. ![]() " Simplicity is good, because it strips back to what you need to achieve a task, and in the software world, that often means speed. ![]() And on that score, Lightroom and Photoshop may just top the mark for overcomplicated bloatware. I'm not knocking their capabilities for which they are exemplary and market-leading, but if there is a software mantra I like to stick to, then it is "keep it simple. ![]() ![]() ![]()

However, when a company grows and expands, things can get more complicated.Īny board should be careful when it comes to who it entrusts with signing authority because those individuals can enter into legally binding contracts with other parties. It may be easy for one or two individuals to handle any of these types of agreements. When a company is small, these types of matters may not come up that often. Types of transactions usually included in this signing authority include employment contracts, sales contracts, real estate sales, leases or purchases, and many other types of agreements that are material to the business of a corporation. The corporate resolution for signing authority is a specific corporate resolution that authorizes specific corporate officers with the legal standing to sign contracts on behalf of the corporation. These resolutions are passed by the board, officially recorded by a corporate secretary and filed among a company's official records. What Is Corporate Resolution for Signing Authority?Ī corporate resolution is a formal declaration made by a board of directors that officially records specific decisions that are material to a business. That's where understanding exactly what corporate resolution for signing authority comes in as well as determining who should have this authority and some sample resolutions that a board can adopt to ensure that the process is done correctly. Or perhaps signing authority is concentrated with one or two officials and a lack of delegation is interfering with business efficiency. ![]() ![]() Perhaps certain individuals with signing authority have left and others haven't yet been appointed to take their place. That's because even if there aren't established processes, everyone knows who does what and those processes will likely have been ratified by corporate resolutions that provide the appropriate authority to the appropriate parties.īut when a growing company is acquiring new entities and new personnel, the situation can get confused. ![]() When a company is small, has engaged in the same business for a number of years, and has a veteran staff used to dealing with these issues, there usually isn't a problem. One area that can trip up a growing company is the question of who possesses the authority to bind a company through signing legal documents - and when. As a company grows, acquiring new entities and expanding into new territories, its business naturally becomes more complex. ![]() ![]() In later years, Jordan changed the oath slightly. The last two lines ".let those who worship evil's might, beware my power -Green Lantern's light!" were added to make the oath rhyme. When the safe was blown, Green Lantern detected the minute earth tremors which led him to the criminals. He blanketed the area surrounding Ferris Aircraft with a wide belt of radiation. It was his duty to find the criminals, ".no evil will escape my sight." no matter how difficult it would be. Green Lantern knew he had no time to waste. Sweeping the beam around the cave, the robbers were now visible, even "in blackest night."Ī break-in at Ferris Aircraft netted two burglars a safe containing a large sum of money, the company payroll. Green Lantern commanded the ring to make the robbers themselves glow. The cave was darkened by a thick, black fog that even the power ring had trouble penetrating. The robbers had memorized every foot of the caves and easily eluded capture. Green Lantern used his ring as a radar device and managed to capture the criminals.Ī day or so later, Green Lantern followed a trio of train robbers to a network of caves in the Sierro Hills. He switched to his Green Lantern identity, but still could not see the bank robbers. When the device exploded, anyone without protective eye-goggles were blinded, including Hal Jordan. ![]() "In brightest day" was from a bank robbery involving a super-magnesium bomb. He explained how he wrote the oath to Tom "Pieface" Kalmaku, keeper of the Green Lantern Casebook. Each line has special significance to the emerald crusader. Jordan's oath was composed a week after he became Green Lantern. One member of that Corps, Salakk of Slyggia, chose to keep his oath, the oath spoken by Tomar-Re and Alan Scott. Jordan's oath would be adopted by many of his fellow Green Lanterns, including most of the Green Lantern Corps of Earth. The most widely known oath was that of Hal Jordan of Earth, considered the greatest Green Lantern off all. Some oaths have been passed down through the years.Ī Green Lantern might honor his/her/its predecessor, trainer, or other notable Green Lantern by adopting their oath. It is not known when members of the Green Lantern Corps started the practice of reciting oaths. She would remain silent while recharging her power ring, but later chose a fellow ring wielder's oath. Katma Tui-Stewart of Korugar did not choose to recite an oath for many years. A few Green Lanterns, such as Lysandra of Zintha, chose oaths to honor their deities, and would speak it as a prayer.Ī number of oaths, such as that of Olapet of Southern Goldstar, remain untranslatable by the power ring. Oaths may reflect the ring wielder's adventures, their homeworld, the cosmos, or be a battle cry. Though an oath is not necessary for the ring or power battery to function properly, it can be used for timing and to steel the ring wielder's concentration. A number of ring wielders consider this a solemn, private moment, when they would reaffirm their dedication. ![]() ![]() 44 OATH OF ZUNDERNELL, THE GOLDEN LANTERN OF EARTH 15ĭespite the vast power of the emerald power ring, it is limited to a finite operating period before it needs to be recharged. ![]() ![]() ![]() New: Added the support to show the movie poster at the main interface for Japanese adult discs.
