And that’s how the village of Patuxet ends up vacant in 1620 when the Pilgrims arrived. Everyone in Patuxet either dies or fled the village, and they never returned. Shortly after that, the plague just starts to rip right through the Wampanoag nation. There were accounts of a French fishing ship that had wrecked off the coast of Patuxet, and of some of the fishermen coming into the village exhibiting signs of sickness, with yellowing of the skin and fever, and dying. There was a plague that ripped through the Wampanoag nation where there are estimates of over 100,000 Wampanoag dying in just three short years. In 1616, we think the village of Patuxet becomes ground zero for what became the Great Dying. You mention the Europeans brought disease with them as well. Desecrating graves would not have been against their moral code, because (to them) we were not human. It allowed them to not treat us with the same rules they would a European. They referred to the Natives as savages for a reason: it allows you to dehumanize. The Europeans also desecrated Native graves. It’s important to understand that’s how Tisquantum learns English (before being able to return to Patuxet around 1619). One of them was Tisquantum, who they take back and sell (in Europe*). For one reason or another he decided to take some of the young men as slaves. One of them was Thomas Hunt, who docked off of the village of Patuxet. In 1614, some traders came into the region. What stands out to you about those earlier interactions?Īround 1614, we really start to see a rapid shift-the tipping point-in the impact that the Europeans are having on the Wampanoag nation, in part because of slavery, but also because of disease and sickness that was brought with them as well. “Mayflower in Plymouth Harbor,” by William Halsall, 1882/Pilgrim Hall Museum The Wampanoag had contact with English traders and explorers before the Pilgrims’ arrival in 1620. For the centuries, the tragic story of the Wampanoag community at Patuxet has been forgotten in retellings of the Pilgrims’ arrival to the area on the Mayflower. There seemed to be an abundance of food for everyone. I have to think that it was really an idyllic setting where you lived off the land. The villages were pretty much in constant communication with each other. Beyond that, we know there was a government structure, with delegates from each village who would meet with each other, discussing issues and collectively making policies and rules that would be in the best interest of everyone. In the summer months, we lived closer to the water where food was more abundant, and then as the weather got colder, we moved inland. It’s estimated that there were upwards of a few thousand Natives per village. There were some 69 villages throughout the New England region that were part of the Wampanoag nation. What was Patuxet like before contact with Europeans? Atlas Obscura spoke with Peters about the place his ancestors called home, and how he is helping to bring its story to a wider audience. Steven Peters, a Mashpee Wampanoag, has developed content about his ancestors’ story for exhibits and cultural programs, most recently Plymouth 400, a multinational collaboration examining the Pilgrims’ landing in 1620. Missing entirely from the familiar history, however, are critical details, such as how Tisquantum learned English, and why Patuxet was abandoned before the Pilgrims arrived. To show their gratitude, the European arrivals invited the Native Americans to a meal, with Patuxet-born Wampanoag Tisquantum (Squanto), who happened to speak English, serving as translator. Today, schoolchildren typically learn only that the tribe helped the Pilgrims survive their first year at Plymouth, established where Patuxet once stood. The Wampanoag called the region home for more than 12,000 years, but most history books have reduced them to a footnote. More than 400 years ago, the coastal community of Patuxet was one of dozens belonging to the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, spread across much of what’s now New England.

This reveals a small pool of bright green liquid, which another scan reveals to be a promising energy source. Using a hand tool which doubles as her prosthetic limb, Rani scans the material to reveal that it’s “an organic compound.” Following Becks’s suggestion, she uses her hand tool (which she affectionately calls “pumpkin”) to hoover up the substance. In a cavern, Rani comes across a mound made up of a bubbly, gelatinous substance - the eponymous gunk of the title. As Becks pilots their spaceship, Rani rappels down a rope and sets out to get the lay of the land. It would be great if more developers followed this idea, but it still receives strong support when meeting players midway.My favorite exchange in “The Gunk” happens early in the first chapter shortly after Rani and Becks, two financially-strapped, planet-hopping scavengers, come across an uncharted world. Not every game can be like Pokemon that has allowed players to save and resume exactly where they left off in the 90s. However, there is one point to note: all progress will be logged but Rani will have to restart from the last checkpoint when the player uploads their file. Thankfully, the game allows players to save at any time. Ultimately, whichever path a player chooses will help them in the long run in the game. The downside to this is that the overall sound of the game is pretty quiet, different from Rani and Beck’s jokes, this can make the headset seem superfluous. Headphones will also help you with this dilemma, however, some players may not have a pair at their disposal. It can be difficult to hear the conversations even when the sound is adjusted in the options. Many people prefer to turn off subtitles for most games, however, it is important to enabling subtitles in The Gunk. Much of the story is told through the main characters, Rani and Beck, chatting back and forth on their radio. That’s overall advice when it comes to dancing. Sometimes they can make the jump while other times the game will send the player back to solid ground as if they were in danger. Another fundamental thing that can confuse players is the inconsistency with jumping from locations. It’s not instant death but it can still be frustrating for players who know they should make the leap. If the player falls into bad water or a deep hole, this will return them to the last solid ground. Some gaps require perfect pixel hopping, One wrong move and it can cause spelling trouble. Platform games need to have solid mechanics to make their jumping more fun and intuitive, that should be the goal of any entry in this genre but it falters a bit on that. Players don’t have to understand it, they just have to follow it. It doesn’t make the most sense but that’s the philosophy of the game. Other things will help Rani get more ideas about what she can do to upgrade her gear. It’s also important to scan everything in sight, some plants and rocks can be sucked up for use during the aforementioned upgrade. They should survey an area when entering the game, try to look up and down to spot anything that looks like it could be climbed. The Gunk doesn’t offer a good map, so players will have to set their own sharp directions. When moving quickly across a large room, or jumping between vertical platforms, the camera struggles to keep up. I genuinely enjoyed the dungeons, but I did feel at times that more consideration was given to their aesthetics than playability. With complicated maps, well-designed puzzles, and multiple bosses per dungeon that are really quite challenging at times. The thing that really took me by surprise with this game was that it’s actually secretly a dungeon crawler. Their design was quite pretty, but there was more animation in the boobs than anywhere else, which is a plus point for some players, but wasn’t for me. All of your units fit neatly into the JRPG mold and nothing about them was particularly standout. I didn’t feel like I connected with any of them, and their one-liners got old really quickly. Some hinted at much more of their previous lives than others, and some were pretty tragic, but I liked the characterisation that they added.Įlsewhere the characters were a little lacking. Something I really liked about the inevitable death thing was that the game was interspersed with little flashbacks to what the character’s lives were like before Demigod-hood. Suffice to say that the bad guys are trying to destroy the current system that keeps the world at peace, as per usual, and the bad guys are racing to get the magic macguffins that you need to get first.īasically, you and your group of merry fighters have to save the world before your inevitable demise. During that time they must use their powers for the good of the world. These Fateful Eight are given special powers, but in exchange for being chosen, they are only given three years to live. Every generation has eight warriors that are elevated to Demigods. As its tendency to get grindy, and its overwrought characters may not change your mind.The basic premise is this: the world is stable, its many creatures live in peace because they eat the ‘Harmelons’ as ordered by the gods. Just don’t expect it to sway you over if you don’t already like the genre. While it may not quite rise to the heights of some of the forebears it tries to evoke from Square Enix’s past, its friendlier price point makes it a great entry that can steal away 25-30 hours of time. It does what it sets out to do and at its price point it does it pretty well. While parts of it felt long and grindy, the English cast is abysmal, and the dungeons design themselves left more to be desired, Astria Ascending is still a solid entry in the JRPG genre. Overall, I really enjoyed my time with Astria Ascending. It’s a JRPG but it knows to not do the annoying things that most happen to do. You can even swap party members during a fight, so if a composition isn’t working you’re not locked into a long, slow death. The game is forgiving though with difficulty settings you can change on the fly, and the ability to jump back to town at an instant to stock up on supplies. Each job has its own skill tree to fill up and with 20 classes you bet your butt you’re going to want to grind to get all that sweet power. Where Astria Ascending gets very interesting is each character can have not only a base job, they can have a main job, a support job, and a sub job. You’ve got mages, warriors, and healers, with varying degrees in between. Your heroes start off with the usual job class system from any Final Fantasy game. It’s an interesting push and pull that while a bit underused, keeps up the tension in the big boss fights. If you use something they’re immune to, well you’ll actually give the opponent Focus instead while losing your own. Some new differences are welcome such as if you use an ability that an opponent is weak to, you’ll get free Focus points. You can then spend Focus points to boost attacks or spells, giving you an advantage. The main hook is you can skip turns to accrue Focus points. If you’ve played Bravely Default, you’ll pick up the battle system quickly. Unfortunately, the map used to get your bearings, while it looks great, is really tricky to use and make sense in some of the later, more complex areas. The dungeons themselves are simple left to right, right to lift navigation challenges broken up with some puzzles or key abilities you find as you go. And Astria Ascending provides little to deviate or elevate this formula apart from sprinkling the occasional side quests into the mix and monster hunts. If that sounds pretty familiar, it’s because it is. Often the setup will give you a quest, that quest will require you to travel to a specific destination, and then you’ll find a dungeon that needs to be explored, culminating in a final boss fight to test your might, and maybe some puzzles sprinkled in for good measure. When the game isn’t spouting off about Demigods, Harmony, and Noises, you’ll find the minute to minute gameplay consisting of turn based combat, broken up by small dungeon exploration. Our favorite aspect about these pieces is their color variety. They look like they could be a fine fountain pen or French brooch.

Some devices just don’t play well with hibernation. Systems that don’t support hibernation won’t support Fast Startup either.And BitLocker users shouldn’t be affected.) (This doesn’t affect the full disk encryption feature of TrueCrypt, just disk images. The solution for this is just to manually dismount your encrypted drives before shutting down, but it is something to be aware of. Users of encryption programs like TrueCrypt have reported that encrypted drives they had mounted before shutting down their system were automatically remounted when starting back up. Fast Startup can interfere slightly with encrypted disk images.If a shutdown doesn’t apply your updates, a restart still will.

Fast Startup offers a freshly-started Windows, just more quickly. Hibernation is great if you want to return your computer to the exact state it was in when you turned it off. When you put your computer into hibernation mode, it also saves open folders and applications, as well as currently logged in users. This is different from the regular hibernate feature. RELATED: What's the Difference Between Sleep and Hibernate in Windows? This technique can shave considerable time off your start up. Instead, it just refreshes your RAM with the loaded image from the hibernation file and delivers you to the login screen. When you start the computer again, Windows does not have to reload the kernel, drivers, and system state individually. Windows then alerts device drivers that support it to prepare for hibernation, saves the current system state to the hibernation file, and turns off the computer. At this point, Windows is in a state very similar to when it’s freshly booted up: No users have logged in and started programs, but the Windows kernel is loaded and the system session is running. When you shut down your computer with Fast Startup enabled, Windows closes all applications and logs off all users, just as in a normal cold shutdown.
