The definitions are sourced from the famous and open-source WordNet database, so a huge thanks to the many contributors for creating such an awesome free resource. In case you didn't notice, you can click on words in the search results and you'll be presented with the definition of that word (if available). For those interested, I also developed Describing Words which helps you find adjectives and interesting descriptors for things (e.g. So this project, Reverse Dictionary, is meant to go hand-in-hand with Related Words to act as a word-finding and brainstorming toolset. That project is closer to a thesaurus in the sense that it returns synonyms for a word (or short phrase) query, but it also returns many broadly related words that aren't included in thesauri. I made this tool after working on Related Words which is a very similar tool, except it uses a bunch of algorithms and multiple databases to find similar words to a search query. So in a sense, this tool is a "search engine for words", or a sentence to word converter. It acts a lot like a thesaurus except that it allows you to search with a definition, rather than a single word. The engine has indexed several million definitions so far, and at this stage it's starting to give consistently good results (though it may return weird results sometimes). For example, if you type something like "longing for a time in the past", then the engine will return "nostalgia". It simply looks through tonnes of dictionary definitions and grabs the ones that most closely match your search query. Women’s Health even published a whole article of stories from parents who got cock-blocked by their kids. And, someone even wrote a 2016 faux-children’s book about it called Nobody Likes a Cockblock.Ĭock-blocking can also be metaphorical, a colorful or humorous way to say “interfere.” In his 2012 song “ Ten Thousand Hours,” for example, Macklemore hopes that “the soundman doesn’t cockblock the drums.The way Reverse Dictionary works is pretty simple. Due to their innocence, kids are especially good at unintentionally doing this to their parents. Of course, cock blocking people who do mutually want to have consensual sex is still pretty annoying. An anti-sexual assault group called the Girl Code Movement (à la Man Rules or Bro Code), offers sexual assault prevention tips under the heading “Cock Block Tips.” A 2011 paper on sexual violence noted that social norms around cock-blocking may make male bystanders less likely to intervene in potentially abusive situations. The desire to not be seen as a cock-block may have unintended consequences. In case the title wasn’t obvious enough, the posters featured the silhouette of a rooster. The 2018 comedy movie Blockers features three girls trying to lose their virginity on prom night while their parents try to block them. Riffing on the same cock/rooster idea, in the 2017 board game Cock Block players are roosters trying to score “chicks” (actually hens) while blocking each other. The cock’s over-the-top personality seems to paint the whole idea of cock-blocking as absurd. In 2015, a comedy sketch on Inside Amy Schumer featured a humanoid rooster (get it?), a personified cock block who walks around a bar ruining guys’ chances with women. Some examples include: clam jam, twat swat, box out, or beaver dam. Many other names have been suggested for the female equivalent, which is also useful for pairings that don’t involve a cock. Some women may still call the action a cock-block, in this case being prevented from receiving the cock. Women also like to have sex, in case you didn’t know, and find interference just as annoying. ![]() We couldn’t talk about the writing process without touching on outlining. Sometimes, the process can feel like one step forward and two steps back, but each round will strengthen your manuscript. It’s more like a series of loops as each one of these stages may require multiple revision rounds. Try not to think of this as a step-by-step process. ![]() While it’s impossible to say how many drafts a manuscript takes, it is possible to break the writing process down into stages. Now that you have a better understanding of what the word “draft” means to you, you can look at the writing process with fresh eyes. So, where do you fall on the drafting spectrum? Keeping it in mind can help you estimate the number of drafts you might need before publishing your story.įrom outline to finished product: the writing process And, if you’re not careful with what you name each file, it may take some detective work to figure out which one is the most recent version. However, you can end up with hundreds of files in a blink. It’s how we end up with draft names like “Final draft” and “Final draft I swear,” and “No really this is the last draft.”įortunately, this means you’ll never lose a detail again and you have complete control over naming conventions. Why would anyone count every change as a new draft? But most writers favor a less extreme version of this approach. Taken to its extreme, this approach to drafting may seem silly. But, it’s easy to end up with dozens if not hundreds of files and you’ll have to decide what constitutes a “patch,” an update and a brand new release ahead of time to stay consistent with naming. Here, you can always revisit an older version to review details you want to re-emphasize in rewrites. Draft 2.0.1: Rewritten rough draft with a minor tweak (or “patch”) to the protagonist’s motivation.Draft 2.0: Rough draft fully rewritten with feedback from critique partners.Draft 1.5: Rough draft with some rewrites.Smaller changes are like patches (the version’s third number) and rewrites might be closer to updates (the second number) rather than a new version release/new draft (the first number). It takes cues from software versioning, noting that not every change means a new draft. While this started as more of a joke between writers on social media, it’s a great middle-of-the-road way to think about drafting. Plus, for larger projects like novels, you need to divide your manuscript into parts and have a file system in place to keep track of your revisions. But you may risk losing details from earlier drafts because of the repeat saves. ![]() The advantage here lies in simplicity: you have fewer files to juggle since you’re saving to the same file over and over. Which means when saving a manuscript to a file, you wouldn’t alter the file name until you completely rewrite that chapter, section, or piece. By this definition, only full rewrites of a piece count as a true draft. Keep reading for more on how this draft spectrum works.
With enough time, you can also be Spider-Man, but you’re going to start out as graceful and dynamic as the actual bread slices in your cupboard.īonus game modes add variety and extend playtimeĪs you go through I Am Bread’s story mode, you unlock additional minigames and challenges to try out if you get tired of trying to get the stupid electrical box in the Petrol Station level open without it swinging back shut as soon as you let go of it. It takes a while to get the hang of it, but advanced players have already figured out how to leverage these mechanics to make the bread roll on its side and cross entire rooms by crawling along the wall like Spider-Man. Basic movement includes flipping the bread end-over-end, pivoting to “swing” up a wall, and carefully timed releases to fling the slice across gaps. The buttons combine with your mouse or analog stick to get you around. You have a Shadow of the Colossus-style grip meter that depletes as you cling, so you need to make sure you can get to a level spot before you drop to the floor and lose progress. Pressing a key or button causes the corresponding corner to “grab” onto surfaces, and another layer of inputs lets you attach to objects and bring them along with you. I Am Bread has similarly weird controls mapped to each corner of your crusty hero. That game had you controlling individual fingers of a hand to use tools and perform complex surgeries, and it was as difficult as that sounds. Players of Surgeon Simulator 2013 may remember its cumbersome and granular controls. Finally on March 30 is City Legends: Trapped in Mirror – Collector’s Edition which sees you assume the role of an author who messes about with Bloody Mary herself and now has to survive encounters with the ghost by solving puzzles and investigation.The controls are challenging but flexible Peaky Blinders: Mastermind is a puzzle game based on the TV show that has you control key characters from the series as you plan and pull off a variety of flat cap-laden schemes.

As the name suggests, it’s the third game in the Faraway series, a set of first-person adventure games which pay homage to the PC classic Myst. March 16 brings Faraway 3: Arctic Escape to Prime Gaming members. This physics-based adventure comes from Bossa Studios the developer of Indie hit I Am Bread, in which you play as a piece of bread. Meanwhile, I Am Fish puts you in the fins of a fish as you attempt to escape captivity and flee to the ocean. I won’t say much more as the story is the main focus here but that's enough to tantalise you. That decision being that you no longer want to dispose of bodies for the mafia. Adios is described as a “cinematic first-person game about sticking to a complicated decision”. The Enhanced Edition brings the game more in line with modern tastes, while retaining what made the original such a classic.Ī fitting pair arrives on March 9, with Adios, and I Am Fish you take on the role of a pig farmer coming to grips with guilt and his own mortality, and a fish, respectively. ![]() The original picked up plenty of Game of the Year awards in 1998, which, when you consider that was the year that brought us Metal Gear Solid, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Half-Life, and Resident Evil 2 and countless other bangers, is high praise indeed. Set in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting of the Dungeons and Dragons universe, Baldur’s Gate is the second game to come from Mass Effect and Dragon Age developer Bioware. Leading the pack as the first free game this month is Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition which joins Prime Gaming on Thursday, March, 2.

In its marketing, Cowon distinguishes between " MP3 players" and " portable media players," where the latter are larger and have a greater focus on video playback. In the west, Cowon is most well known for its iAUDIO range of portable media players, which has resulted in many people incorrectly referring to the company as “Cowon iAUDIO” or simply “iAUDIO.” Outside the domestic market, Cowon iAUDIO's sales and market share have always been minuscule - however, it gained a certain niche market and retains a loyal following from fans and enthusiasts.

(simply known as Cowon) is a South Korean consumer electronics and software corporation. ![]() Southland entered the decade with a market capitalization of $4 billion, having quickly become one of the country's major players in the oil and gas industry and convincing Brumley of the merits of an acquisition-driven strategy. By 1980, four years of aggressively pursuing oil and gas properties had greatly increased the size of the company. From that point forward, as Brumley earned promotion through the company's executive ranks, Southland shelved its exploration activities and focused on fueling its growth through additional acquisitions. In a deal with Dallas-based Aztec Oil & Gas, Southland purchased a group of gas properties in the San Juan Basin that possessed roughly a trillion cubic feet of gas reserves. When Southland completed an acquisition in 1976, the purchase altered the company's strategy for the future, making a lasting impression on Brumley that would be evinced in his actions for decades to come. The company's market worth increased exponentially after it changed its corporate strategy, a significant turning point for the company and a pivotal event in Brumley's professional career. Brumley joined Southland in 1967, when the company operated as an oil exploration firm with a market capitalization (the number of shares held by investors multiplied by the price per share) of $100 million. After earning his degree, he returned to Texas and settled in Fort Worth, where he accepted a position as an administrative assistant at Southland Royalty. ![]() Born in Pampa, Texas, and raised in Austin, Brumley received his master's degree in business from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business. Jon Brumley had achieved success in the energy industry by heading acquisition-driven companies, and Encore was meant to be, in strategic terms, a repeat performance of the successes he enjoyed during his 30-year career. ![]() OriginsĮncore Acquisition Company was a fitting name for a start-up venture that most likely represented the entrepreneurial swan song of an oil-patch veteran. Jon Brumley, an oil industry veteran with a penchant for pursuing growth via acquisitions. The company's Cedar Creek Anticline property in the Williston Basin represents its most valuable asset, accounting for 66 percent of its total proved reserves. Encore's properties are located in the Williston Basin in Montana and North Dakota, the Permian Basin in Texas and New Mexico, the Arkoma and Anadarko Basins in Oklahoma, the North Louisiana Basin, and in the Rocky Mountains.
