It’s official: There are no Nintendo Switch 2 reviews. Here’s what that means for us, and you | VGC
Nintendo’s decision not to facilitate pre-launch Switch 2 reviews is disappointing news for everyone…

The South Coast Air Quality Management District will hold a public hearing Friday on two proposed regulations designed to limit key pollutants that form smog.
If adopted, the rules would phase out the sale of gas-powered furnaces and water heaters in the region.
Officials say the plan is crucial for reducing air pollution and improving public health, while opponents fear higher consumer costs.

The South Coast Air Quality Management District is poised to vote on regulations that would limit emissions of nitrogen oxides — the key pollutants that form smog.

Good Morning #Canada
It's a golf day, playing 9 holes with my daughter in Toronto, so obviously, some golf content is appropriate for this morning's post. I'd like to introduce you to the regional director of Ontario for Golf Canada. Amaya Athill is a rare jewel, being both female and Black, and she is opening up the sport to a wider demographic. She is the founder of Black Women in golf, which provides lessons and encouragement to new golfers.

So the basic idea is that we first compute a "level" for whatever interaction, by adding beneficial modifiers and subtracting harmful ones. Imagine most modifiers are smallish integers like 2 or -3 (though they can be non-integers too). Each level can be thought of as making things twice as good/bad, although this only applies directly when they're balanced. The actual formula starts with a 50/50 chance of "success" at level 0, and then each positive level halves the chance of failure, or if the levels are negative, each negative level halves the chance of success (note that halving the chance of failure is not the same as doubling the chance of success).
The intuitive explanation is that you start with a coin flip. Then if the level is positive, you flip that many additional coins and succeed if any single coin succeeds, but it the level is negative, you have to flip that many additional coins and succeed only if *all* flips succeed.
For example, if I have a dagger with 5 crit chance, and I attack an opponent with no armor modifiers, I'd have to win any 1 of 6 coin flips to score a crit (p = 1 - (1/(2^6)) = 63/64. Increasing my crit modifier by 1 ups my chances only slightly, to 127/128. This is obviously pretty poor return, indicating that the 5 I already have is very strong. If the opponent had armor with -3 to crits, the interaction is now level 2, so the crit chance is 7/8, which is still pretty good. We can see from these examples that the basic system
rewards a small level advantage a lot, but the rewards diminish rapidly. The system has a few avenues for tweaking how it works though, that can let us modify this. There's also a potential benefit (though sometimes drawback) that no matter what the level gap, there's an effective limit to how much the interaction swings.

Completed!!🏆
This game is very weird and unique at the same time. Its gameplay is different to others games from the saga and obviously its goal is playing it on-line cause the NPC controlled by AI system is so awful and frustrating.
But well is a good game despite all.
PD: In my honest opinion the best level is the last one. Is very long than the others, intense and filled of sort of monsters.
