![]() It sadly still isn’t perfect, and definitely not the best versions of Sonic the Hedgehog 1, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and Sonic CD available today unless you only play on console. If you already own Sonic Origins, the $9.99 DLC pack is fine for what it adds, but this was the opportunity for Sega to completely fix Sonic Origins and sort out any issues. Barring that, I found no way to adjust the visuals or do anything else. Sega did add the ability to save and load your save during these games though. I feel like the descriptions for the Game Gear games need to be updated to fix some errors as well. The games with two player support even have those versions listed separately for some reason. The Game Gear games also have some audio issues and no options to adjust the display or scaling. I love most of these games a lot, and even enjoyed experiencing many of the Game Gear games for the first time as a curiosity, but this collection should’ve been better and more polished. If you don’t have Sonic Origins in any form, this collection is definitely the version to get for its value, but it feels like a missed opportunity in its current state. This Digital Foundry video (timestamped) highlights the issue. If they didn’t bother you with Sonic Origins’ base release, you don’t need to worry about this, but I’m disappointed to see it not addressed. Swapping between Sonic Mania and Sonic Origins Plus on PS5 really highlights how much proper scaling would’ve helped the visuals. The scaling is still poor, and these games deserve better on the big screen. Sega PR confirmed to me that the version I’ve been playing, which is 2.00, will be the launch version for Sonic Origins Plus. That was my main complaint with Sonic Origins, and while it should’ve been addressed soon after launch, I assumed it would be sorted for the Plus release. Details for the Sonic Origins base game DLC are here.īefore getting into the new Plus content, I’m very disappointed that the scaling has not been fixed for the games in this collection. If you already own the DLC for the base Sonic Origins release, this upgrade will not have any additional discount. This pack includes the 12 Game Gear titles, Classic Amy as a playable character (Sonic the Hedgehog 1, 2, 3, and Sonic CD), Knuckles as a Playable Character (Sonic CD), and all prior Sonic Origins DLC. If you already own Sonic Origins, the Sonic Origins Plus – Expansion Pack is sold separately for $9.99 or regional equivalent. Having already owned and played Sonic Origins on both Steam and Switch, I’ve also been interested in seeing how the PS5 version plays on the big screen and whether it uses any of the console’s features. Sonic Origins Plus is available in a few ways at launch. In this review, I’m going to cover the new content, the state of the game, and which version you should buy if you’re new not just to Sonic Origins, but Sonic in general. Thanks to a Sonic Origins Plus PS5 review code provided by Sega earlier this month, I’ve been checking out the base game on PS5 and also going through the new content to see if the upgrade is worth it for existing owners. I was hoping Sonic Origins would get the Plus treatment just so the major issues could potentially be fixed while adding extras for fans and newcomers. ![]() ![]() If you’ve not played the base release, read my reviews of the Switch version here and PC version here. Sonic Origins Plus, an enhanced version of Sonic Origins, is out this week for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via both the Epic Games Store and Steam. It’s a line that reminds us that Taylor Swift is at her best when she balances her lighthearted lyrics with moments of complexity. There’s so much sadness laced in this one quick and breathy line-a moment of vulnerability reminiscent of the storytelling from her folklore/ evermore era. It’s impossible to hear the words “little kid” in a Taylor Swift song and not think of the devastating part of “Begin Again” from Red where she conjures the specific feeling of being young and carefree (“And you throw your head back laughing/ like a little kid”). We’ve finally reached the classic Taylor Bridge, which she often deploys to tell a revealing vignette, turn even more inward, or flip a narrative on its head. No one wanted to play with me as a little kid/ So I’ve been scheming like a criminal ever since/ To make them love me and make it seem effortless/ This is the first time I’ve felt the need to confess/ And I swear/ I’m only cryptic and Machiavellian ’cause I care One way to break the pattern of subservience, Swift seems to be saying, is to become the monster itself. On Friday, one of the most immediately discussed and memed lyrics on the album was “Sometimes, I feel like everybody is a sexy baby/ And I’m a monster on the hill,” from “Anti-Hero.” That lyric references 30 Rock and is a sly commentary on the long history of women being portrayed as little more than helpless sex objects in Hollywood monster movies. Swift continues to zoom outward: now the song is not just about a love story or a reflection on her own career, but a general feminist motivational call. In “I Think He Knows,” another song that might be about Joe Alwyn (off her Lover record), she’s explicit in this: “I am an architect, I’m drawing up the plans.” You see all the wisest women had to do it this way/ ‘Cause we were born to be the pawn in every lover’s game/ If you fail to plan, you plan to fail/ Strategy sets the scene for the tale/ I’m the wind in our free-flowing sails/ And the liquor in our cocktails “As long as they still find it fun and exciting, I’ll keep doing it.” It’s also not something she’s shy about. Swift recently admitted she’s been throwing secret messages for her fans in her lyrics since she was 15 years old: “It’s really about turning new music into an event for my fans and trying to entertain them in playful, mischievous, clever ways,” Swift told the Post. She loves giving fans the experience of connecting the dots between songs, albums and eras. Is Swift suggesting that she was already strategizing her next move? Was she trying to figure out how to end it with Hiddleston in order to pursue her next London boy?Īnd her scheming goes far beyond these kinds of playful, albeit petty jabs at the people who have caused her harm. ![]() We may never know the full details of what happened at the Met Gala between Swift and Alwyn, but we do know that she arrived that night with her date and former boyfriend Tom Hiddleston. (Yes, there are a lot of mixed metaphors going on here!) There’s no such ambiguity in “Mastermind.” Swift casts herself as a grandmaster toying with her opponent, effectively inheriting the position of power once held by “John.” And while many of her previous lyrics about hands have focused on the effect of a lover’s hand on her, here, it’s reversed: she’s the one wielding her touch to light a fuse. In “The Archer,” from 2019, she switches off between being hunter and prey. In “Dear John,” which she wrote near the start of her career, she’s a mere pawn: “I lived in your chess game, but you changed the rules every day,” she sings. Her romantic interests often turn into adversaries and then back again, with Swift casting herself in various roles in conflict. ![]() ![]() Here, she uses a hand touch to kick off another one of her favorite metaphors: love as a battlefield or a chess match. (From her 2006 debut album: “He’s got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel/ The other on my heart.”) “Hand” is one of Swift’s favorite words: she’s sung it over and over, often using it as a signifier of a blossoming romance. ![]() ![]() This genuine astronaut flight jacket also boasts an Alpha signature utility or pencil pocket, a knit collar, cuffs and waistband to keep in warmth, as well as a 100% water repellent, nylon satin flight shell with polyester interlining.

The formal charges being 0 for all of the atoms in the AsF 3 molecule tells us that the Lewis structure obtained above is stable. It is determined such that the elemental charge on each atom is closest to zero.įC = Valence Electrons – Non-bonding electrons – (Bonding electrons ÷ 2) We can verify its stability by calculating the formal charges of each constituent atom in the AsF 3 molecule.įormal charges for an element/structure help determine its most stable Lewis Structure state. With this, our Lewis Structure is complete. This will act as a lone pair and will be attached to the central Arsenic atom to fulfill its octet requirements. Valence electrons are used to fulfill the outermost shells of the surrounding Fluorine atom.įinally, this leaves us with two valence electrons. The outermost shell requirements of atoms are addressed in accordance with the octet rule. Covalent bonds between Arsenic and Fluorine are formed by making use of the available valence electrons. Arsenic takes its place as the central atom and facilitates bond formation. Next, we arrange Arsenic and Fluorine atoms in a sort of skeletal arrangement. This has been calculated in the previous section to be 26. We already know the number of valence electrons available to us. Lewis structures use the valence electrons contributed by the constituent atoms to show the bond formation and octet fulfillment. Lewis structures are stable schematic representations of the arrangement of atoms in a given molecule. AsF 3 Lewis StructureĪs you already know, the Lewis structure of a molecule or compound helps give insight into various molecular properties. Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in Arsenic Trifluoride is given by:ĥ + 21 = 21 valence electrons. Therefore, the three Fluorine atoms present contribute: 7 x 3 = 21 Valence Electrons. It belongs to group 17 of the periodic table and has the electronic configuration 2s 2 2p 5. Therefore, the single Arsenic atom contributes 5 x 1 = 5 valence electrons.įluorine is a halogenic compound. Īrsenic Trifluoride comprises three Fluorine atoms and one Arsenic atom.Īrsenic is in group 5 of the periodic table with the electronic configuration 3d¹⁰4s☤p³. Let us calculate the number of Valence electrons in AsF 3. ![]() ![]() Using the number of valence electrons available to us, we can determine the Lewis structure for a given compound. This allows the valence electrons to break free from the atom to take part in chemical reactions. These valence electrons reside in the outermost shell of an atom, where the force of attraction from the nucleus is weak. Valence electrons are used in Lewis Structures to represent atomic bonds between atoms and electrons possessed by the individual atoms.

However, for us, the difference between checking out at 11am and 2pm was not worth the extra cost. A hot shower and a chance to really freshen up after a day at the water park would have been great. After our stay, we would have definitely paid extra to be able to check out of our room at 5 or 6pm (which is not an option, we asked).
