Still, the second (and even third) return to Gorogoa is nigh essential to understand its story and its characters. In the course of gameplay, Roberts does a remarkable job summoning older motifs and archetypes, like the chorus of a song, which works to ground the game's visual cornucopia. Gorogoa's "play it again" appeal helps here, as Roberts tells quite a story through his hundreds of unique panels. Roberts' use of hidden doodads can be slightly obnoxious if you're dead set on solving puzzles and not admiring beauty, as some of the click-to-zoom moments do nothing more than linger over an incredible piece of art. Gorogoa's rules of engagement change at a moment's notice, and entire, elaborate scenes can vanish with a single puzzle-solving click, leading you to an altogether new mechanic and new panel-shifting rules. Those are just a few of the awe-inspiring tricks that play out when clicking on panels, moving panels, combining panels, and more. Maybe you should arrange those panels to sit side-by-side in the two-by-two grid and see what happens. which line up perfectly with another panel's right edge. Still other times, you might notice that one panel's left edge is covered in symbols. Other times, you'll realize that some of the panels' contents line up perfectly, perhaps in the shape of a door or a window, and you can combine them to make a new path. Sometimes, you'll pull a frame or border off of one panel to reveal an entirely new landscape underneath it, which you can click through to expose new puzzles. Click-and-drag to drop that frame elsewhere on the grid to continue. And now, when you click on that original panel, you lift its outer edge. As it turns out, Gorogoa's playfield is a two-by-two grid of four panels. What makes Gorogoa different from something like Myst becomes apparent almost immediately, when the panel you've been clicking shifts to the top-left of the screen. ![]() Gorogoa's clever gameplay tricks and gorgeous, hand-drawn art will stay with you for a long time. Like those kinds of art, Roberts' creation stands out because it absolutely works as a "play it again" dive into spirituality, loss, and rebirth. At the end of six years of development, Roberts has produced a little over two hours of gameplay.īut that's like saying your favorite illustrated book is only 24 pages or your favorite children's movie is only 70 minutes. ![]() I describe this "ending" moment because it answers a critical concern about the puzzle game Gorogoa, which has been in development for an astonishing six years and was made almost entirely by one man, Jason Roberts. The game gave me some breathing room to do so, with a solemn song playing while credits rolled. I nearly doubled over in my chair, overwhelmed with the emotion I felt trying to make sense of what had transpired. ![]() Those seven all-caps letters exploded out of the emptiness I'd just exposed by solving the final puzzle. Platform: Windows PC (reviewed), Nintendo Switch, iOSĪfter my last click of the mouse, the screen went to black, with only the word "Gorogoa" flashing.

So until now, if you have not been prepared to pay for DriveDx, you are most unlikely to know how rapidly your SSD is ageing – until it suddenly fails. indicator 173 and the total data written are not given in any of the standard utilities bundled with Macs, nor as far as I can see in any of Apple’s bundled diagnostics, even those run from the command line. I gave example calculations in my previous article. Alternatively, you can get a rough estimate by assuming that wear is reasonably levelled across the storage blocks, and using the total amount of data written to the SSD and its capacity to calculate how much of the likely ‘wear’ has been used up. indicator number 173, Wear_Leveling_Count, which is a direct measurement of this. There are two useful measures of the expected lifespan of an SSD: all SSDs should monitor S.M.A.R.T. tools such as DriveDx can do so, but Disk Utility and other common tools will only warn you when the drive fails a test. If your Mac has an SSD, it is not easy to discover how worn out that is. That is an awful lot of Macs with SSDs, so even a small proportion of them with similar problems could mean that many users are facing expensive repairs. iMacs have been offered with Fusion Drives from late 2012 onwards. Apple has been fitting pure SSDs in MacBook Airs since January 2008, and in MacBook Pro models since late 2008. His iMac could be unique in this, but I suspect that there are others, perhaps many. ![]() Most likely, though, is that the wear levelling software has not always been working properly. monitoring on it is giving absurdly incorrect figures. Maybe his iMac has been running Apple’s iCloud services for Europe, or the S.M.A.R.T. There are several possible explanations for this. I have come across one user, with an iMac which has an Apple Fusion Drive with only three months of continuous use on the clock, whose SSD is now almost worn out. What we don’t know is how effective that is in each case. In practice, though, this is very dependent on software (or firmware) evening out the number of writes across the SSD – so-called wear levelling. Some predictions for the typical life of an SSD in a computer are very optimistic, perhaps more than ten years. The more that you use your SSD, the earlier it will fail. However, SSDs can only write data a certain number of times, and in any case cease functioning after around 10 years. Unlike hard drives, they cannot suffer mechanical failure, or problems with the magnetic material on a hard drive’s platters. A few days ago, I drew attention to potential problems in Macs with solid-state drives (SSDs) as they grow older, and the drives wear out. ![]() In any event, both those slots are generally receptacles of showcasing and Thin Lizzy abdicates.īrian Robertson disagrees that Nightlife was substantially an exploration of black musics. Further perplexing, normally a rock band starts a record with a bit of a high energy track and that is emphatically not the case with the studio muso skills of “She Knows.” As well, it is rare that a title track is one of the most laid-back song on a record, and “Night Life,” with its country picking guitar solo and shameless elaborate string arrangements… well it’s enough to cause a punter revolt. No less than “Showdown,” “Dear Heart,” “Still In Love With You,” opener “She Knows” and the bluesy title track–half the album–portray the band as surprise possessors of black music chops, each down a different historical path but made comprehensive through R&B. And like I say, we only had a few months to do the album, so there wasn’t a lot of time to start thinking about production and everything else, so I don’t think the production was particularly great either.” And a lot of the songs were kind of stuff that Phil had lying about, really. In 1974 we weren’t really sort of as heavy then as we were later on. I don’t know, I think it was just the timing as well. And that was a really cool version as well, but the version that we put out there was, as you say, laid-back. 'It’s Only Money,' he demoed with Gary Moore. ![]() We were using stuff that Phil had demoed. Nightlife… it’s kind of mellow because we didn’t have an awful lot of material. But having said that, over the years, I think I’ve played it quite a lot with a lot of different bands. I didn’t really understand a lot about arrangements and all the rest of it. We didn’t have a lot of time to work with it. Says Brian Robertson of “It’s Only Money,” “I always felt the riff was really strong, but we were very, very rushed at that point, to do that album, as you can tell. Weirdly though, there are only two heavy rockers on the record, both “It’s Only Money” and “Sha La La” forming a set, with the non-LP “Black Boys On The Corner,” as these sort of complicated rhythmic takes on the newly forming genre of heavy metal. Nightlife as a record indeed lacks the bite of its lively predecessor, even if it’s obvious the band had taken a huge leap in meticulousness, detail, class. No one knew it yet, nor would they for another couple of years, but Philip and Brian Downey had planted within the band, the seed of a swell sound that would take Lizzy admirably far, both commercially and critically. Lizzy would enter the studio with a good base of road-tested songs, but the foundation on which Nightlife would be built upon would be undermined by the tentative hiring and subsequent actualization of not one but two new members of the band, to boot, in the all-important guitar slot(s), namely Brian Robertson and Scott Gorham, the first a Scotsman, the latter an American. In this excerpt from my trilogy of Thin Lizzy books (specifically book one, Fighting My Way Back: Thin Lizzy 69-76, available only at ), we celebrate Lizzy's curiously laid-back yet well crafted record from 1974. The quartet's first record together, however, is a bit light and arguably the least representative of the sound they would perfect on records like Jailbreak and Johnny The Fox. Today marks the 40th anniversary of Thin Lizzy's fourth album Nightlife, significant in that it marked the ascent of the band's classic line-up, with guitarists Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson joining bassist/vocalist Phil Lynott and drummer Brian Downey in the formation of one of the most beloved and revered hard rock bands of all time.

Update: I “kind of” got it working again by uninstalling the firestarter package from the command line with adb and then re-installing it. Give FireStarter a try, and if you find yourself liking it and using it, do please throw a few bucks into the developer’s donation jar. He has made the app open source, which is a great way to give back to the community. ![]() The developer of FireStarter, sphinx02, has done a fantastic job with the application and is continuing to improve it. You would essentially never see the FireStarter interface, which is a perfectly reasonable way of using this app. On the other hand, if you just want quick access to one app, like Kodi, you could set a single home button press to launch the default homescreen, and set a double press to launch Kodi. ![]() If you’re a heavy user of sideloaded apps and occasionally view Amazon content, you may, for example, want to set a single home button press to launch FireStarter and a double press to launch the default home screen. By default, FireStarter is set to launch itself whenever you press the home button on your remote.įor either a single press or double press of the home button, you can have FireStarter launch: the default Fire TV homescreen, the Fire TV settings panel, FireStarter, or any installed app. The first thing you’ll want to do is configure FireStarter’s single and double home button press behavior. Once sideloaded, launch FireStarter from the Settings > Applications area and configure its settings. As long as your Fire TV is on a secure network, there’s no harm in keeping ADB-Debugging on all the time. One caveat is that you must keep ADB-Debugging enabled within the Fire TV’s settings in order for FireStarter to work correctly. To install FireStarter, simply download the latest APK and sideload it as you would any other app. It’s not perfect, but it works extremely well and reliably. It can’t actually stop the default homescreen from launching, which is why you will see it very briefly flash on the screen when you press the home button, but your configured application/launcher will launch a split second later. Using this log monitoring method, FireStarter can even detect if you double-click the Home button. FireStarter cleverly monitors the Fire TV’s log output to know when the Home button has been pressed, and then launches itself, or any application you configure it to launch. It will always launch the default homescreen. There is no way, without rooting the device, to change what happens when you press the Home button on a Fire TV or Fire TV Stick remote.
