There are three settings: Eye Rest (lighter tones for tired eyes and nighttime use), Gaming (higher contrast levels and colors that “pop”) and Movie (sharper image through dynamic gamma and contrast adjustment ideal for a cinematographic session). Adjustable screen contrast: a tool that allows the user to adjust the screen contrast depending on requirements.Each one is relatively self-explanatory, but for the sake of clarity, OC pushes the GPU beyond its factory settings for better performance, Gaming Mode provides a slightly smaller boost for a better in-game experience and Silent dials down on system power for lighter tasks and lowers fan speeds. Performance profiles: one-click switch between three predefined profiles or modes which are OC Mode, Gaming Mode and Silent Mode. ![]()

I find the catch rate a lot better on this one too. You can still set it to auto catch and auto spin, however you can now pick your ball type, unfortunately to auto catch you can still only use the basic balls. So, I use to use the Pokèball+ and this is by far a better purchase, however it does have some negatives. Compared to how poor the Plus was which was very overpriced for what it did or should I say didn’t do. ![]() ![]() Is it worth the price point? I feel it’s slightly overpriced but I guess it’s what you come to expect from a Nintendo made product. Looks wise and build quality is very good. Not sure if it this was due to someone still in the living room after I went to bed.įinish and quality. I put it too “sleep” at about 10PM and woke it back up at 8AM, it said I had slept for 4 hours. The Sleep function seems to be a bit flawed. The wrist strap is good but the magnetically attached clip fails on that the magnet part is very weak and wouldn’t use it. So it will need a charger with a usb plug. Charging lead is very short and has a usb one end and a c type for connecting to the Plus +. The accompanying accessories, charging lead, a wrist strap with a magnetically attached clip. Saying that though the Pokeball Plus wasn’t a Pokémon Go accessory first, it was a secondary function. It’s a certainly better in a pocket than the Pokeball Plus due to it being thinner. Size wise it’s bigger that the Plus but a good usable size, in initial photos I thought it looked too big. I did have one issue where it would connect but I fixed it by pressing the small reset button on the back of the Plus + and restarting my phone, this was a one off. Some have had issues with it but I have had no issues and used it on an iPhone 8 and 11. This is something the original and ball would do a lot. In both of the Catching and Spinning tests it never disconnected outside of the hour which it will stay connected. Means you can leave the Plus + in your pocket. The quick reconnect is a great feature as you only have to tap the in game icon to reconnect to the Plus +. Personally this doesn’t matter to me as I only use it to spin pokestops as I prefer to physically catch so as to throw Great and Excellent throws. So if you have it on to detect both Pokémon and Stops it will pick up Pokémon first. Pokémon priority, like the Plus and Ball Plus it prioritises Pokémon over Stops. The Plus + today during the Riolu Hatch day spun every stop and gym I passed.Ī few other things to point out. This works so much better than the Pokeball Plus which sometimes seems to forget to spin stops and gyms. The option to select the ball used when manually catch is a great addition, note though this only works when pressing the button to catch and not auto catching. This was the case for Auto and Manual catching with it. By giving it a little shake though it seemed wake up and start to perform some catching of Pokémon. I found it at times a little slow in detecting Pokémon. I have used it to do catches and spin Pokestops, here’s my my experiences with Catching and Spinning.Ĭatches. It’s also an improvement on the Pokeball Plus which was primarily a Nintendo Switch controller by also acted as an accessory that could perform the PG Plus functions with the added auto spin of Pokestops.

Other items can also be grabbed along the way such as speed increasers, 1UPs and a bomb module capable of obliterating any enemy caught within its blast radius that can also be triggered after taking enemy hits. Each weapon can be upgraded by picking up an item of the same color. ![]() There are three types of weapons in the game that can be switched between after destroying incoming carriers by picking up a color-changing item ranging from the "Red Cannon" shot, the "Blue Laser" and the "Green Homing" missiles. ![]() Ī unique gameplay feature is the "Seizer Beam" system During gameplay, players can grab certain enemies and hold them as shield against enemy fire or launch them against enemies. As far as side-scrolling shooters go, the title initially appears to be very standard, as players control their craft over a constantly scrolling background and the scenery never stops moving until the stage boss is reached. Zero Wing is a science fiction-themed side-scrolling shooter similar to Hellfire, where players assume the role of Trent taking control of the ZIG space fighter craft through eight increasingly difficult levels, each with a boss at the end that must be fought before progressing any further, in a last-ditch effort to overthrow the alien cyborg CATS as the main objective. The Mega Drive version was later released in North America by independent publisher Retro-Bit in 2020. The rights to the title are owned by Tatsujin, a Japanese company formed by Masahiro Yuge. The European Sega Mega Drive version later gained renewed popularity due to the " All your base are belong to us" internet meme, which plays off the badly translated introductory cutscene in Engrish. Zero Wing enjoyed a degree of success in arcades and its home conversions were met with mostly positive reception from critics. Although first launched in arcades, the game was later ported to other platforms, each one featuring several changes or additions compared with the original version. Headed by development chief Toshiaki Ōta, Zero Wing was created by most of the same team that previously worked on several projects at Toaplan, initially starting as a project not intended for commercial release but to train new recruits before being ultimately released to the market. It was the eighth shoot 'em up game from Toaplan, and their fourteenth video game overall. ![]() ![]() Controlling the ZIG space fighter craft, players assume the role of protagonist Trent in a last-ditch effort to overthrow the alien cyborg CATS.

This is why the effect is usually worse in winter - when the external temperature is lower, the saturated vapor pressure is lower as well. You can see some evidence of this in an earlier answer on a related topic. Not the relative humidity, but the absolute. ![]() The reason you get "shocked" more in winter has to do with the conductivity of the air - which in turn is largely determined by the absolute moisture content. In essence the two materials stick together briefly, and when they unstick the electrons may prefer to stay with one surface and not the other. Or, you could use a humidifier in your home, which adds water to the air, making static much harder to build up.Įvery time two dissimilar insulators rub together, there will be a relative buildup of charge due to the triboelectric effect. If you want to stop it, you could consider using dryer sheets, which use a substance which happens to be conductive to soften your clothes - this makes you constantly discharge as you touch your own clothes, so you achieve the "many tiny shocks" method alluded to above. Plastic or rubber rubbing against wool carpeting or clothes (or any sort of hair) will do it, which is the most common cause for people in their day-to-day lives. Since cold air is drier, this means you probably build up a charge more quickly in the winter.Īs for how you build up charge in the first place, it is usually by rubbing certain materials together. There are many ways to build up a static charge, but it is generally much, much easier when the air is dry. The only ways to prevent getting shocked are either not building up charge in the first place, or constantly touching metal so that the charges get released way before they can build up - in effect spreading out your shocks to many smaller shocks you can't feel. Wood won't uncharge you very well, since it doesn't conduct electricity very well. Since the metal conducts electricity very well, they fly off you very quickly which heats up the air in between you and the metal, giving you the painful "shock" feeling. When you touch a metal door (or any piece of metal) then the electrons want to spread out to balance themselves between you and the metal. Free or nearly-free electrons on stuff like wool are getting rubbed off onto you so that your body holds some sort of net total electric charge. ![]() |
