The creepy-island-at-night setting would be wasted if the group stayed on the beach drinking all evening, so of course they split up early. Compared to a platformer, however, Oxenfree’s navigation is low-key, with climbing a rock or jumping a gap as simple as pressing a button or key. Most movement occurs to the right, left, up, or down, but Oxenfree does have some depth with the ability to walk “into” or “away from” the screen. On PC you can play with a gamepad or the WASD and arrow keys (plus the mouse to select dialogue options), with navigation reminiscent of a side-scrolling platformer. I liked this aesthetic and only minded the lack of dynamic cameras and close-ups during a few “Do you see what I see?” type conversations where I didn’t know what I was supposed to be looking at. The third-person perspective is zoomed out, with the characters relatively small on the screen so you get a good sense of the area around them. They’re easily stereotyped, but each of these characters has more going on than appears on the surface-you just might need multiple playthroughs to plumb their depths. You play as a blue-haired girl named Alex and are almost always accompanied by one or more of her companions: her dorky best friend Ren, her nice guy stepbrother Jonas, the quiet girl Nona, and the queen bitch Clarissa. A story does unfold, but it’s more like you’re living through it than directing the action, thanks to the game’s fluid dialogue system. Most of the 4-5 hour experience is spent exploring, conversing, and listening. At the same time, it’s not a Telltale-style interactive drama (despite some of its team having previously worked there). If you’re looking for a traditional adventure game, look elsewhere. Let’s get this out of the way up front: Oxenfree is a story-focused, dialogue-heavy game with next-to-no puzzle-solving. They might not survive the night.Ĭhances are you’ve seen a horror movie with a setup like this, but you’ve never played a game like Oxenfree, the debut from Night School Studios. At 8pm on a Friday night, five teenagers arrive on the military base-turned-tourist attraction Edwards Island to hang out, drink, and go ghost hunting. Present day, somewhere in the Pacific Northwest.

“Friday night was always a special occasion because that is when everyone would dress up and come out on the town,” Cerasuolo said. Main Street was the place to be, and you would be dressed up in your best attire.”įerrara’s friend Donna Cerasuolo, who isn’t a member of the class but decided to help the cause, reminisced that there was nothing better than being on the city’s main drag and doing things like stopping at Pedrick’s restaurant for french fries and gravy. “On a Friday night, you would have to step off the curb because there were too many people. “This is going to be stepping back 50 years ago,” Ferrara-Flanger said. The class will have a mixer at the Pine Brook Golf Course on the 19th, with the main celebration at the YWCA on the 20th, and it will conclude with a breakfast at Dick Ruberti’s on the 21st.įerrara-Flanger said they would like to have the class walk down Main Street during the celebration to talk about how things used to be and see how buildings have changed. The Class of ’63 will have its reunion July 19 through 21. “I want to have some kind of decor in every window on Main Street before July.” “This is really a win-win because we are filling the stores and helping local businesses market themselves,” Ferrara-Flanger said. She said the paint used to touch up the stores was donated by Kingsboro Lumber Co. “Everybody came to clean and set up their own windows,” Ferrara-Flanger said. The storefronts were painted by the president of the Class of 1963, Tom Thomson, but each interior window display had to be cleaned and decorated by the business using it, Ferrara said. In addition to Ferrara-Flanger’s Sessions Hair and Day Spa, businesses that took advantage of the opportunity include TaylorMade, Kingsboro Golf Club, Chef Lomanto’s Kitchen, Chapeau de Valse, Ruby and Quiri and others. “I called the owner and told him what we were doing, and he loved the idea,” Teetz said. The owner of Glove City Realty, Teetz manages several properties along South Main Street for Two Great Guys and said he contacted the owner to see if he was interested in supplying one window for the class of ’63 but it quickly expanded into a monumental effort to fill every vacant window. She sent a brochure from the Business Improvement District that shows the city beautifully displayed, but she feared when her classmates return they are going to ask what happened to the Four Corners, where many of the retail buildings are vacant.īeing the business person she is, Ferrara-Flanger proposed Teetz fill the vacant storefronts with local businesses’ merchandise. Judy Ferrara-Flanger and other members of the community plan to work for the next several months to dress up vacant storefronts, allowing local merchants to use window displays to both advertise their businesses and improve Main Street’s curb appeal.įerrara-Flanger said she became involved with the endeavor while organizing the 50-year reunion of the Gloversville High School Class of 1963, which will take place in July.įerrara-Flanger said she called Mike Teetz of Glove City Realty and told him she had a group of people coming back to Gloversville for the reunion. GLOVERSVILLE – Volunteers and businesses are working together to liven up the city’s Four Corners intersection with a fresh coat of paint and decorated display windows that will serve as portals to a past when Main Street was packed with a variety of vendors and merchants. Loaded with Vitamin B3 to strengthen thin skin and caffeine to deoxidize and reduce inflammation, the serum seems to work well. I was particularly interested in the Dark Circle Defense and Anti-Wrinkle Defense.Īfter three weeks, the bags under my eyes have noticeably improved, though I think there’s still plenty of room to go. The Complete Collection comes with the Charcoal Cleanser, Hydrating Balm, Recovery Oil, Anti-Wrinkle Defense, Exfoliating Rub, and Dark Circle Defense. Still, I’ve been spending a lot of time in front of a computer for the past year and a half, and I’m noticing dark circles and more forehead wrinkles. I totally get that, and I’m not super consistent with my skin care routine either. The cleanser and moisturizer is already a stretch. You’re probably like me-most of the time, you won’t get around to putting on three or four different skin care products. Now, I don’t know how you feel about specialized creams and serums. I decided to go all out and get The Complete Collection to check out Lumin’s spot-treatment style products. Still, I’ve been applying the moisturizer at night and my skin feels fantastic in the morning when I wake up. Unfortunately, they don’t have one, so I’m using another brand. I’ve been enjoying Lumin’s products a lot in the three weeks I’ve been using them, so I’d love to have an AM SPF moisturizer. It’s a light fragrance with a bit of a citrus hint, but otherwise is very neutral, which I love. This leads me to the only weakness I can see in Lumin’s lineup. I’ve continued using another brand’s SPF moisturizer in the morning. Lumin recommends their moisturizer at night, though I’m more of a morning shower kind of guy. It’s super thick, especially compared to other brands. The Hydrating Balm is my favorite product of the whole bunch, though. It took about a week and half to notice results on myself, but it’s definitely helping even redness around the bridge of my nose. It also has rose flower oil and centella asiatica, both of which have shown good results in clearing breakouts and evening skin tones. The addition of activated charcoal not only makes the cleanser look cool, but charcoal has a massive surface area, so it goes deep into pores to pull dirt and oil out. The Charcoal Cleanser has excellent foaming action-better than any of the brand’s I’ve tried this year. They’re also super easy to store and don’t take up much room in the cabinet. I love the matte black look and how simple and minimalist the design is. Things to Consider Before Buying Skin Care from LuminĪ post shared by Lumin Skin Management have a slight preference for pump containers because they’re easier to use, but Lumin’s packaging is really nice. More recently, they’ve branched out into shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and hand balm. They also carry spot-treatments, like Dark Circle Defense and Anti-Wrinkle Serum. Lumin has a core lineup of skin care essentials, like a Charcoal Cleanser and a Moisturizing Balm. What’s clear is that Lumin is giving men the opportunity to craft a luxurious morning routine and care for themselves in a way that just didn’t seem accessible even a decade ago. The parent company that owns Lumin is spreading out into different men’s care products, like the Meridian Trimmer which I tried a few months ago and enjoyed. Their branding is sleek and beautiful-all mint green and matte black. Founded in 2018 with a focus on skin care subscriptions, the brand has blown up in a short period of time. Lumin is a relatively new brand in the men’s skin care game.

However, despite their expert craftsmanship, Italian tailors still held a somewhat shady image, thought of as producing mostly shiny fabric garments and skin-tight silhouettes – welcome to the association with mafia dons and Italian gigolos. Famous artisans of the time such as Italian tailoring pioneer, Giuseppe Ravazzolo, were wooing the world’s leaders to Italy.īy the mid 1800’s, manufacturers like Castangia and Somma Spa started custom-making exquisite, elegant fabrics just for men’s suiting. Soon, some of the best clothing were tailored in this country. But over time, master tailoring skills developed in other parts of the world, most notably in Italy during the early 1800’s. It was in England, at the renowned Savile Row, where the noble gentry, who would demand bespoke clothing, would shop. The first time the suit surfaced as business attire was in Europe. The history of the Italian suit goes back a long time and its evolution makes for interesting reading. Interestingly though, the Italian suit was not always the first choice among the world’s elite. High-end luxury men’s clothing retailers such as Barcelino, Wilkes Bashford, and Mitchell-Richards have gone almost exclusively with hand-crafted men’s suits made in Italy. Italian artisans, over the decades, have honed their skill, so now they are considered the world’s true master tailors. One notices an impeccably cut suit, achieved by the fit of a perfectly sculptured shoulder and accent on a slim body contour, and crafted by the world’s finest fabrics. Today, the world recognizes the Italian suit as the premier dress garment for men. No matter the circumstances, the suit is still seen as a way to gain instant respectability and influence. After all, even a convicted felon shows up for sentencing in a suit frankly, if he had really wanted to win over the jury he should have worn a suit throughout the trial. And for those special moments in a man’s life such as his daughter’s wedding, he must wear a suit. Visiting your place of worship requires wearing a suit well, it should. For example, a job interview requires a suit that is if you actually want to get the job. No matter what your station in life, the suit is important. The suit, though, is not just for members of the aristocracy but also for those who society might decree lead a more mundane existence. All these members of today’s modern nobility depend on their image and personal packaging to gain them instant acceptance in their public and professional lives. However, despite this unseemly fashion trend, the suit is still a staple in every executive’s wardrobe, no matter what his profession may be.Įvery day you can see a successful investment banker dressed in a fine 3-button Italian suit, or observe a high-profile corporate lawyer presenting his case in an elegant double-breasted Super 150 wool suit, and certainly appreciate the elegant image of an American politician debating his views on national television wearing a formal navy suit, white shirt and bright red satin-striped tie. Since the dotcom boom, more casual work attire is now acceptable. There was a time, not that long ago, when almost every man wore a suit to work, whether he was the CEO of a Fortune 500 company or a teller who tested TV tubes down at the local five & dime. Assuming you can cast spells of 5th level, and know the Quicken Spell feat, you could follow it up with a Quickened Lightning Bolt in the same round, to add insult to extreme injury.

At casting as a sorcerer, or when prepared as a wizard, a spell can be cast with any number of metamagic feats. Now, if you were intending to ask if you could apply multiple metamagic feats to spells in general, also yes.
