ascension

By Lindsey Bahr | Associated Press The new movie ” Air ” is technically about a shoe. There is nothing especially extraordinary about this shoe. As the Q-like Nike designer Peter Moore (Matthew Maher) explains, the last significant change to footwear was made some 600 years ago when the decision was made to differentiate the right and left feet. The Air Jordan is, at the end of the day, just another shoe. No one coos about how comfortable it is. No one waxes poetic about its performance enhancing abilities or how many…

My advance copy of Martin MacInnes’s new novel states – alongside a photograph of dog-eared handwritten pages leaning on a rocky outcrop in the sun, stacked so roughly they resemble the craggy peaks of a mountain range – that In Ascension was written “by hand on the coast of east Scotland”.This seems less an affectation than a direct link between the creation of the book and its purpose: to reinforce, or even reintroduce, the importance of a connection between people and our planet, in the age of climate crisis.After all,…

It is an inalienable convention of fiction that a mystery entails a solution. Imagine a whodunnit in which the murderer is never revealed! Readers would howl in frustration.It would be wrong to suggest that Scottish writer Martin MacInnes cheats the reader of the satisfactions of solution. He is not a frustrating or peekaboo author: quite the reverse. And yet, though his novels tell stories that hang on mysteries, his distinctiveness as a writer does not depend on plot reveals. In his first novel, 2016’s Infinite Ground,…

Of all the Silent Hill projects currently in development--and there are a lot, as we'll detail further down in this article--the one that is hardest to figure out is Silent Hill Ascension. With only a reveal trailer to go off of, even fans paying close attention likely have several questions about what kind of game it's going to be. This answer, and others, are a bit hazy as of now, but not without some context clues. Here's everything we know so far about Silent Hill Ascension.Silent Hill Ascension…

It’s been more than 10 years since the last Silent Hill title, but Konami has finally broken its silence. Thanks to the Silent Hill Transmission event, this long-dormant horror franchise was given new life in the form of a remake, three new games, and even a film. Each of these projects are quite different, and since so little is known about all of them (aside from perhaps the Silent Hill 2 remake), confusion among fans is understandable. Silent Hill Ascension is by far the most experimental game the franchise will…

Mysterious community-focused RPG During yesterday’s veritable banquet of Silent Hill news and reveals, Konami teased a mysterious new project that will see developers and fans party together to develop, alter, and shape the outcome of a story set within the traumatic, fog-filled town and its wider canon universe at large. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rflWSj_o3o Coming across as something of a modern take on the Alternate Reality games of yore, Silent Hill: Ascension will task its users will following an original…

Power Rangers will likely never escape the shadow of its very first iteration, especially when it comes to toys, but Hasbro’s latest attempts to offer fans something it’s been trying to do for a while: a classic Megazord toy that’s worthy of being the heart of a Rangers fan’s collection.The “Zord Ascension Project” Dino Megazord is the first in a new line of Hasbro attempting a more premium riff on its Power Rangers mecha toys. There’s been plenty of…

Collei has just joined Genshin Impact's roster in version 3.0 as one of only two playable Dendro characters, alongside Tighnari. She's a four-star bow user who can be obtained for free at the moment, so there's nothing preventing you from adding her to your party right now. Collei is currently a must-have character simply because of how Sumeru is built--there are Dendro-related puzzles and mechanics all over the place. But if you're looking to level her up for real, here's what you'll need.Ascension…

Tighnari is a Dendro bow user who's joined the game in version 3.0. He's the new main banner character and he's currently the only five-star Dendro character as well.

If you plan to level up Tighnari, these are the required materials.Ascension MaterialsAscensionNagadus EmeraldNilotpala LotusFungi DropsMajestic Hooked BeakMora11 Nagadus Emerald Sliver33 Fungal Spores020,00023…
