![]() ![]() Let me know your thoughts, and we'll filter through them as a community and decide what direction to take the game. I always wanted Stack Masters to be a community driven game. So, now, I want to sit back, and let all of you new players take some time to explore the game and share your views. We've also spent months polishing off any rough edges and adding all the QOL improvements suggested during testing. There's already enough to keep most of you busy for weeks. I mention that only to illustrate that additional level content really isn't required any time soon. Stack Masters is already super polished and even our most avid community member and alpha tester, (Nomad Universe with 270+ hours played at the time of writing) still hasn't managed to play all the levels in the game. There was already a little hotfix today to deal with controller stick drift, which one player found was negatively affecting their game. What About Game Updates?Yep, they are coming. They will have tuned out from even reading those types of requests a long time ago. ![]() They will be overflowing with requests from indie devs like me. Tens of games are released on Steam daily Imagine what the email inbox, or twitter notifications, of a popular streamer might look like. If you guys suggest the game to your favorite streamer you will have an infinitely higher chance of convincing them to give it a try than an unsolicited email from me ever could. I can do my best over the coming weeks and months to get YouTubers and streamers to play and share the game with their viewers, but ultimately, my voice is but a whisper compared to yours. The popular consensus from those in the know would likely be to tell me that my experiment is doomed to failure, but the only people who can actually determine whether that is true or not is you, the players. Whether I'm an idiot or not is debatable, but I'm fairly confident that I'm not a complete idiot. The Replicons, so this is not my first rodeo. My first two games were NeonXSZ and Space Bob vs. Also, why charge you guys double or even triple for a game, to cover the marketing time and expenses, if there is a possible alternative?įor those that don't already know me, Stack Masters is my third major Steam release. 95% of indie games fail to turn a profit, and so we have to try out new ideas sometimes to break through. It can take as long to do the marketing as it takes to make the game. Why? Because, as a solo developer, time is so precious that spending huge amounts of time on pre-release marketing is not really financially viable in most cases. ![]() So, what happens next?I shared yesterday that Stack Masters was an experiment in making a ridiculously polished and accessible game and then selling it at an equally ridiculously low price. ![]()

If you have questions, happy to get answers from my technical teams I have access to. And if you're using VMware AND you have the budget for Nimble, the integration with Nimble and VMware is deep. What you'd get from a support experience with HPE InfoSight is definitely worth it. I did a Chalk Talk looking at the HPE Alletra 6000 - same overall technology so worth looking at this, especially where I talk about CASL. The tiering with HPE Nimble Storage is superior - you don't need all SSDs to get all-flash performance. If you have the budget for 36 SSDs with MSA, I'd lean to a HPE Nimble HF-20. T ake a look at the QuickSpecs Opens a new window, see page 25 for performance guidelines of the MSA. The controllers would max out performance with just a few SSDs. Again, the only reason to use more SSD in an MSA is because your active data is so big that tiering would slow down performance. The array will perform just as well with 2 or 4 SSDs as it will with 36. Unless your "active" workload is really big, don't get all-flash MSA. MSA is a great entry level array but it is an entry level array. It may be helpful to assess the quality of management by comparing the information in the press release to the information in the accompanying 10-K Annual Report statement of earnings and operation as management may choose to highlight particular information in the press release.If you need all flash performance, 100% go with Nimble.

In fact, since Ubuntu derives from Debian, the instructions apply to all Debian and Ubuntu based distributions. You can use the same procedure on Ubuntu Desktop as well. Note though that the instructions are not limited to just Ubuntu server. The title of this article mentions that it explains how to update Ubuntu using APT in the terminal. Read on to find out how to update the software packages on your Ubuntu server using apt in the terminal. This leads to the following question: How to update Ubuntu directly in the terminal? This tutorial teaches you exactly that. With Ubuntu server, you perform administrative tasks directly from the terminal, most likely remotely via SSH. In contrast to Ubuntu desktop, Ubuntu server does not offer you a graphical user interface application for updating the software packages on your system. By now you already familiarized yourself with Ubuntu, so you probably start off with Ubuntu server. Another popular one is to put together a web server with LAMP stack and install WordPress on it. Perhaps to create a Samba file server for your local network. When you continue with your Linux journey, sooner or later you probably show an interest for running Linux as a server. You can then conveniently install these software updates, through intuitive graphical user interface applications. All of these desktop Linux distributions automatically notify you, when they detect the availability of software updates. Something along the lines of Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Pop!_OS, Elementary or Linux Lite. Your first introduction to Linux most likely involved installing an Ubuntu based desktop distribution. In this article you learn how to update your Ubuntu system, using the apt program in the terminal. Consequently, you need to perform software updates on your Ubuntu system directly in the terminal. Most likely through a remote SSH connection. This post has provided the detailed working and usage of the “ sudo apt udpate” command.Interested in running Ubuntu server? In contrast to Ubuntu desktop, you now administer your system completely from the terminal. The repository is loaded with the latest packages and lists down the update of installed packages as well. The “sudo apt update” command is used in the Ubuntu terminal to update the system repository. That’s all from this informative guide! Conclusion If any package needs an upgrade, it can be achieved using the “ sudo apt upgrade” command. Open the terminal of your OS and run the below-stated command in it: $ sudo apt updateĪs the snippet shows, the repository is updated, and the number of upgradeable packages is also listed. How to Use the “sudo apt update” Command? This command keeps the “apt” repository updated, which allows the user to upgrade the already installed packages or install the latest copy of a package. This will load the latest packages on the “apt” repository. Any operation on the “ apt” repository must be performed as a root user.įinally, the “ sudo apt update” command indicates that the “ apt” is being updated by the super user. The “ sudo apt” means that the “ apt” repository is accessed as a super user. ![]() This is used to call the apt repository, which is the library for Ubuntu packages that contains a massive amount of packages.

But the creative, psychedelic flourishes of experimental suite Ballet for a Girl in Buchannon and greasy Euro-panache of Street Player deserve a fresh look from the Pitchfork set. Unlike Earth, Wind and Fire, Chicago has yet to enjoy a hipster reappraisal and resurgence. With at least four members trading lead vocals during their set, the horns mostly owned center stage - even when they traded their brass for a tambourine, cowbell and clave for the tumbling, rumbling I’m a Man. Maurice wasn’t mentioned by name, but the way Verdine whomped and walloped on his bass, mugging and mashing at the end, he seemed to be digging deep to summon the spirit and soul of his brother.Ĭhicago, on the other hand, relied on their instrumental virtuosity and synchronicity to wow the crowd, particularly anytime trombonist James Pankow, trumpeter Lee Loughnane and saxophonist Ray Herrmann got together at center stage. The last of those, in particular, was a Chicano-funk odyssey of percussion and outta-control bass, backed by a video featuring vintage Maurice White - man, what a wonder that guy was - leasing a much younger band through the very same song. Songs like Jupiter, Fantasy and Serpentine Fire thundered with the cross-cultural, astrological juju for which Earth, Wind and Fire is famous. It was like an expensive and elaborate Broadway musical there was so much happening at once, you didn’t know where to look first.Įarth, Wind and Fire’s solo set came next, and after a brief, odd re-introduction - White and singer-percussionists Philip Bailey and Ralph Johnson bounded back out to great fanfare, like they hadn’t just done the same thing 15 minutes prior - the band warmed up with a smoky, funky groove, then burst out the disco whistle for Boogie Wonderland. Beholding it all was no easy task - band members were staggered across multiple tiers and risers, trading positions and instruments and fist bumps between solos on Chicago’s Beginnings and Dialogue (Part I & II), Earth, Wind and Fire’s In the Stone. The two bands opened the show together, entering member by member, 21 musicians in all, filling the Amphitheatre’s sizeable stage with brass, percussion and multigenerational voices. On Saturday at Tampa’s MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre, Chicago and Earth, Wind and Fire swapped horns and hits for a jubilant 3 1/2 hours, treating 14,000 dancing fans to a crash course in their sizeable legacies, and capping the night with an all-star finale that felt like a Hall of Fame ceremony in itself. ![]() Earth, Wind and Fire, on the other hand, is just getting back on the road after the February death of founder Maurice White, the brother of bassist Verdine White.īut while they’re back in the spotlight for very different reasons, both bands have decided to seize their moment and run wild. ![]() In two weeks, Chicago will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, after decades of eligibility. ![]() ![]() ![]() Order for timers to start the recordings.
