![]() The rest of the characters are pretty much the same in each storyline, although they change in their relationships to the heroine. Although sometimes of very little help and periodically a source of really bad advice, Orion is completely devoted to helping the player get back her memories, and is a fierce advocate for her in situations where he perceives she’s being treated unfairly. Although the dialogue is all in Japanese with English subtitles, Igarashi is so animated and Orion so histrionic that in a lot of instances you hardly need the translation to get his reaction. I found Orion hilarious, in large part to the voice work by Hiromi Igarashi. The major character, and the one that’s around you almost all the time, is Orion. There are also specific character relationships and pathologies that are revealed in both the Heart and Spade worlds that play important roles in the Diamond world. In the Club route, it just shows her mastering her work by getting the manual and reading it at home, and by the last two routes there’s hardly any mention of her learning anything about it–she seems as familiar with it as the player is, by that time. In the Spade route, they show her having some problems and getting help at the workplace. In the Heart route, a significant amount of time is spent with one character introducing the concept to the heroine and training her beforehand in what she needs to do there. For example: In each world the heroine works at the same Maid Cafe. Interestingly enough, although the player is free to choose to play the suits in any order, I found that playing them in the order listed actually made the most sense in terms of how they introduced these things. In general, the beginning of each one deals with the heroine trying to figure out the mechanics of her life–where she works and goes to school and what her relationships are. The Story:Įach of the four routes ends up representing a different genre: Mystery, Fantasy, Romantic Comedy, and Horror, with an additional route only revealed after finishing all the others. ![]() Ultimate failure at any one of the three generally leads to a Bad End, of which there are several per route. The only way you can get back to normal is by having experiences that remind you of things–the influx of memories will have the effect of pushing out Orion and achieving separation.īecause the main person you end up interacting with is your romance interest (sometimes he starts off as your boyfriend, sometimes not,) there are generally three parameters you can track to see how well you’re accomplishing your charade of a relationship: Affection, Trust, and Suspicion. Once you begin, Orion, in a nice display of paranoia, advises you against telling anyone you have amnesia unless you absolutely trust them, because it would otherwise only result in them either locking you away in a hospital where you’d slowly go insane from sharing your mind too long, or taking advantage of your lack of memories for their own personal gain. Starting off in a limbo-like state, Orion tells you to choose one of four world (Heart, Spade, Club, or Diamond) states which in turn determines the storyline and romance you get. Even worse, Orion has managed to displace most of your memories (memories have mass?) so all you have left is your name and knowledge of activities of daily living. ![]() In “Amnesia,” you play a protagonist who’s had the misfortune of colliding with a spirit named Orion, who is now stuck in you. ![]() So since there was a serendipitous overlap of a) me being wretchedly sick and b) #DatingSiMonth, I finally got motivated to finish off a game that’s been sitting in my queue for some time–Idea Factory’s “Amnesia: Memories.” The Setup: ![]()

While the out-there jazz performance was a far cry from the fare you’ll find on Grande’s new album, Positions, which recently debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, Ariana fell in admirably with the notably avant-garde musicians on the 2015 single and opening track from Thundercat’s 2017 album, Drunk.

Title Īccording to the liner notes of the compilation release Rock of Ages: The Definitive Collection, the band was at a recording studio when lead vocalist Joe Elliott stumbled upon a hymn book left by a member of a children's choir that had just used the studio. When played forward, the phrases "Fuck the Russians" and " Brezhnev's got herpes" can be heard. ĭuring the guitar solo, several vocal phrases were backmasked. Young's line would later become immortalized in rock history when it was used in the suicide note of grunge pioneer Kurt Cobain. Def Leppard's four-line version was quoted in the 1986 movie Highlander by the film's villain, the Kurgan. )Īs the song's melody begins, Elliott speaks the lines, "All right/I've got something to say/It's better to burn out/Than to fade away" the second two lines are a reference to Neil Young's song " My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)". (That same count-in was sampled by The Offspring at the beginning of their 1998 song " Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)". It's gibberish said by producer Mutt Lange during the recordings of "Rock Of Ages", instead of the regular one, two, three, four. What does "Gunter Glieben Glauten Globen" mean? Nothing in particular (although the band sometimes jokingly claims it means "running through the forest silently"). According to the official Def Leppard FAQ, The song begins with "Gunter glieben glauten globen", a German-like nonsense phrase introduced by Mutt Lange, who is of German descent.

If the present you got your boss was work-related or otherwise not tied to any major event (maybe you just felt generous?) then suddenly you’re in a weird situation. In that case, maybe keep it in your bag and hand it in at the end of the day, or get to work early and present it to them before anyone else arrives.Ī random gift. In this case, you should have no problem walking into your boss’s office to give them their gift at any point in the day - unless you’re the only one in the office who remembered or cared. Here are some examples for different occasions:Ī birthday. You don’t want to make your boss or coworkers uncomfortable with how you give the gift, so make sure you put some thought into how you’re going to present it. This is almost as important as the gift you choose. Just make sure you aren’t the only one in the office not giving your boss a gift. This will convey the message you’re trying to send with your gift without the presence of a bad gift. If you can’t give a good gift, consider just writing them a card. It’ll make it easier on your wallet, it’ll look less weird to give your boss such an expensive gift, and it’ll make everyone else in the office look good too. If you want to get your boss a big expensive gift, even if you can afford it yourself, consider going in on it as a group with a few other employees. Don’t give your boss a Chili’s gift card, for example, unless you know that Chili’s is their favorite restaurant of all time. Gift cards can be good, but it depends on the kind of gift card - after all, gifts are supposed to be personal. If you know your boss plays sports, a new golf club or a team jersey is a great gift. Getting a $20 gift while you’re bringing home $200k a year will make you look like a jerk.Īt the same time, no one expects someone who’s making $25k a year to pitch in more than $10 or so bucks for a group gift or spend more than $20 or so on a personal one.īe personal, but professional.

Why are you buying the gift in the first place? This can have a big impact on the type of gift you give them.įor example, if the gift is for an office Christmas gift exchange, there are probably some set expectations to follow for the price or type of gift so that it’s similar to what everyone else is giving. ![]() The occasion is the most important thing here. Whether it’s due to their sense of principle or feelings of anxiety, find out ahead of time whether your boss is the kind of person who likes getting gifts before you grab one for them. Does your boss even like presents? Some people aren’t huge fans of receiving gifts, and sometimes they can be militantly against them. Especially if you’re not getting a gift for anyone else in the office. If you think that giving a gift would get a strange or unpleasant reaction due to your existing relationship with your boss, avoid it. ![]() What’s your relationship with your boss like? There are a lot of power dynamics at play sometimes when it comes to gift-giving. What is your company policy on gift-giving? It can be easy enough to overlook, but if your company has an official policy prohibiting or limiting gift-giving for any reason, you definitely want to avoid doing so. Here are some things to consider before buying a present for your boss:Ĭompany policy. The fact of the matter is that every boss is different, and you should be very aware of your relationship with your own boss - as well as their personality - before you put yourself in the position of buying a present for them. ![]() Show More What to consider before selecting a giftīefore selecting a gift for your boss, consider company policy, your boss’s personality, and the occasion. ![]() That's not an easy thing to do for an operating system that's got a lot of moving parts under the hood moving in unpredictable directions.

Hence "AAX Audio Converter" should be number of cores times faster, minus some overhead for invoking FFmpeg of, let's say, 10%. "AAX to MP3" converts chapter by chapter in the same single thread while "AAX Audio Converter" spreads the task across multiple threads and CPU cores. It won't make a big difference, but "AAX Audio Converter" should be somewhat faster even in basic mode.īut for chapter and split chapter mode performance should be significantly higher with "AAX Audio Converter". "AAX Audio Converter" delegates the entire audio transcoding job to FFmpeg, without any further interaction. "AAX to MP3" decodes with the help of an Audible Manager DLL and feeds sample by sample into FFmpeg. Both versions also use FFmpeg but in a slightly different way than "AAX Audio Converter" does. There are actually two versions of it, one that simply takes an AAX input file and creates a single MP3 output file and a later one that allows to split the output into chapters (plus a number of other extras). You will need the Audible App for Win10 (or the older Audible Manager) and have it activated for your account. See its anti-piracy notice on the website or in the manual. I have looked into the "AAX to MP3" code before I decided to create my own tool. And there is the fairly new AAX Audio Converter. I guess you are referring to the Windows application under that name.

Sometimes, the built-in processing will not yield the expected results. By default, AAX Audio Converter will try to shorten the book title, extracting the name of the book and removing all meta information, like “unabridged”, “part” for partial books, and also the series title, if the book is part of a series. In response to your feedback here and on other forums, I have added a few customization options, in particular for dealing with the book title. ![]() Version 1.1, published three weeks ago, had quite a few downloads.
