![]() Resupply: PDF Town Day Checklist (opens email signup dialog) Gear: My Packing List for the Great DivideĪlternates: GDMBR Alternate Route Options Related: GDMBR blog posts and books from the BikeSleepBike directory (my other project) Especially if you want to ride in bikepacking style at moderate pace, solo (especially if female), and/or northbound, I can provide some perspective that other posts may not. Many others have written about this popular route, but everyone approaches it differently. This post will share my impressions and answers to common questions about bikepacking the GDMBR. My imagination started toying with the idea of a Great Divide ride, and the rest is history. I usually prefer to construct my own routes and get off the beaten path, but in 2021 I found myself craving more community, connection, and contact with others. First developed by the Adventure Cycling Association in 1998, it’s grown hugely in popularity and is home to one of the most legendary bikepacking races in the world. If you desire to get up close and personal with the spine of the continent (and don’t have the time or patience to hike the nearby Continental Divide Trail), bikepacking the GDMBR might be the best way to do it.īefore 2021 I actually thought the GDMBR was too popular for my taste. ![]() That’s 2700 miles of gravel roads, dirt trails, small towns, rural ranchland, mountain climbs and descents, and a bit of pavement to connect it all up in a single unbroken line. This epic bikepacking route – GDMBR for short – hugs the Continental Divide between Mexico and Canada, touching five large American states and two Canadian provinces along the way. The Great Divide Mountain Bike Route is the stuff of legends, and after riding it I understand – intimately, with every pedal stroke and footstep and sunrise and sunset – exactly why. Each year I donate a portion of the ad revenue from this page to the ACA. Just by reading this article you’re supporting the Adventure Cycling Association, developers of the GDMBR.

Usually, it becomes most popular on December 24 (as this is when Parasite Eve begins on Day 1) and ends on December 29 (Day 6), with the daily goal of playing each "day" in the game per day. Playthroughs of Parasite Eve become popular in December, due to the setting of the game.Some claim that a "No Liberate" run is how Parasite Eve should be played, although it is up to each player whether or not they should use Liberate. Some have praised the ability for making the final bosses easy for those who just want to complete the game ASAP so they can move onto the next game, or for those who never got the game's weapon/armor customization system - others note it can make the final bosses easy and ruin any challenge the final bosses provide. Near the end of the game, Aya will gain the Parasite Energy "Liberate", which is known for being overpowered.It could be seen as a brilliant commentary on superstition, or a mean joke. Some players get rid of them as soon as possible, while others keep them just in case. Due to the game's complicated code, no one has been able to datamine the game to see if they actually do anything, and there are rumors about the charms with some players saying it helps them get rare items and the like. Some players were annoyed by this, as the game never explicitly tells the player the use of the charms and they take up inventory space, and there is a debate whether or not they actually do anything (apart from the third being used to reserve one inventory slot for a story event). During the game, Maeda gives Aya three "good luck" charms.It hasn't exactly aged well from low resolution, low quality character models, and the lack of voice acting except for grunts.The mitochondria sound effects are generic and sound like squirrel or chipmunk noises.The music is reused often and can get annoying.

You can acquire these points by doing things both in and out of battle. One of the key elements highlighted by the trailer for Project Triangle Strategy was making impactful choices based on three different ideologies: utility, morality, and liberty. A couple years after the release of 'Octopath,' Nintendo announced 'Project Triangle Strategy' during a Direct presentation on Feb. How to gain Morality pointsĬonvictions of Liberty center around making decisions without showing any fear or weakness. It's honestly what makes it one of the best Nintendo Switch games out there. Announced during yesterday’s Nintendo Direct, Project Triangle Strategy (don’t worry, that’s a working title) is a tactical role-playing game full of choices and consequences. The idea behind this is that the game provides plenty of replay value, so you can play the game again doing different tactics and decisions to get a completely different experience. As such, there is no way to check and see where your points for Morality, Utility, or Liberty lie. Triangle Strategy is set up in such a way that you're not supposed to be able to know what kind of Convictions you're acquiring. Liberty: This way of thinking is all about making fearless and bold decisions regardless of the consequences.Utility: This kind of decision focuses on doing what makes the most sense logically regardless of morality.Standard weapon attacks cost no TP, while most special abilities cost 1 or 2 TP. Some characters can even grant TP to their allies. You can save up action points (called TP) for future turns. Morality: These are decisions that see situations as right or wrong, and always do what is good. Triangle Strategy uses an action-point system similar to Octopath ‘s.The game doesn't tell you what kind of decision each answer leans towards, but you can guess going off of what the three Convictions stand for. Differences between the three choices can seem pretty similar at times, but they have subtle differences. ![]() With that, you can stream videos, download files and browse the web. Privado supports P2P downloads, and the only catch to using the service for free is the limit of 10GB of data (per month). In all, you can choose between 13 servers in 9 countries, which is surprisingly generous. And it will do it in the countries where it has servers you can use for free, but that includes the US, UK, France, Germany, Switzerland, Canada, Mexico and Argentina. This makes it more secure, and the fact it’s headquartered in Switzerland makes it a good choice if privacy is important to you.īut if you just want to unblock Netflix, Privado is the best choice because it’s one of the only free VPNs that can do this. Unlike most of its rivals, it owns and operates almost all of its servers instead of renting them. Privado is a relatively new name in VPN, but the company behind it has huge experience. Free services often limit speed, which could mean slower internet access, but whether it will affect you will depend upon how fast your internet connection is. These are the services we’ve featured here, of course.Īs mentioned, free VPNs don’t offer unlimited data, and will restrict your choice of server locations to just a handful instead of hundreds or thousands). However, there are a few which offer the same level of privacy as a paid-for service, even if they don’t offer the same speeds, number of servers, same level of tech support and various other things. But most of them you shouldn’t touch with a barge pole. And since it costs only a few dollars or pounds per month, there’s a good argument for paying for a VPN. VPN providers certainly don’t want the service being slowed down by free users and spoiling the fun for the people that pay for it. Those are all perfectly fair limitations: the full range of servers, locations and best speeds should be reserved for paying customers. We’ve outlined the limitations of each free VPN service in the reviews below but, in general, the free tier will restrict you to choosing from only a handful of different countries, and will stop working once you’ve hit your monthly data allowance and / or limit the connection speed. Paid-for VPN services rarely offer free trials, instead preferring to make you sign up for a month and claim a refund if you don’t like it. Regardless, a free VPN is great way to try out this useful technology for the first time. ![]() A couple will even unblock Netflix and other streaming services, but their monthly (or daily) data caps mean you can’t watch loads. They won’t suit everyone, but for occasional use to increase your privacy while shopping online or using free Wi-Fi in a café, airport or hotel, a free VPN can do the job. However, the services we’ve picked here here are certainly usable. So if your plan is to use a free VPN to unblock Netflix and binge show after show, you’ll be disappointed. This is called bandwidth, and you need a lot of it to stream video. Speed may be limited as well, but the biggest restriction tends to be the amount of data a free VPN service will let you pass through its servers. And that means you can’t always pretend to be in the specific country or region where that blocked content is available. But you’ll quickly find that if you’re not paying, you don’t necessarily get to choose which server to use. It all you want to do is unblock a website, a free VPN is great. You have to be careful though: when you use a VPN, you’re routing all your internet traffic through its servers, so it’s crucial you trust that provider. That’s fair enough: there are plenty of VPN services that claim to be free. So, you want a VPN but you don’t want to pay for one. ![]() The General Tab is for setting things that affect the operation of Picasa in general. Following are some suggestions for some of the options, but you should view all the tabs in the options dialog and set them to operate the way you want to use Picasa. Most of these settings deal with the way Picasa deals with you and your photos. In Picasa the Tools menu Options Dialog box is where you configure Picasa's behavior and the features you want to use. The things to check include the Options dialog, Whether to use Face Recognition, File types to show, and setting up the Picasa Picture Viewer.

Hint: If you don't want to use Face Recognition on some folders, you can select the "Face Detection On" button to turn it off for the selected folder and any subfolders. Note: These are your working photo collection, you don't want to be including backups or archives because they are copies that should never be touched unless the original is accidentally deletedĬlick the OK button when finished to verify the changes Set My Pictures and any other Folders you want to see in Picasa to "Scan Always" (the blue circular arrow).Įxample - You have Photos in My Documents: Also set My Documents to Scan Always.Įxample - You have photos in a folder on the P: drive: Also set that Folder to Scan Always under the P drive. Set All drives to Remove from Picasa, and set all folders you don't want to see in Picasa to Remove from Picasa (the red X). To see sub-folders of the main drive or folder, click on the triangle to the left of the folder or drive to expand it and show the subfolders. Note: Setting a drive or folder to "Remove from Picasa" Does not erase the folder or drive, it simply tells Picasa to ignore it and not show it to you in the library or folder collection. The Folder List on the left shows all the Drives and Folders on your Computer. Go to the Tools menu -> Folder Manager (see photos below). If you want to see other folders later you can always go to the folder manager and set them to be watched or you can remove folders you no longer want to watch without deleting the photos.Ĭonfigure Tools -> Folder Manager so Picasa will see all your photos If you have a scanner that scans to a folder on your computer, you can either make sure that folder is a subfolder of My Pictures, or tell Picasa to watch that scanner folder, that way you can use the normal scanner software and the scans will automatically be shown in Picasa. ![]() This avoids Picasa scanning a bunch of non-photo folders. A better option is to have a folder on that drive that contains all the photo subfolders and watch that folder in Picasa. If that drive only contains photos, you could set the whole drive to be seen in Picasa. You might want to keep your photos on a separate drive either so you don't fill up the C: drive, or to keep them separate. This will allow you to use Picasa to move those photos to the folders you want them in, rather than having to use Windows Explorer. Many people routinely copy photos from the web or Emails to the Desktop, so the Desktop could be set to show in Picasa. If you don't want to include all subfolders in Documents, you might still want to see photos in a few subfolders, so you could set up to watch just those folders. The My Documents folder is often included if you sometimes create documents that have photos associated.
