But what if you’re out of spooky games? No worries, the Epic Games Store has you covered with three solid Halloween picks. ![]() With Halloween right around the corner, it’s time to bust out all the spooky games in your backlog and give them a play. It was my favorite way to play Bloober’s best game until the release of the System Redux edition for next-gen platforms.Epic Offering Several Spooky Games Free for Halloween Season While the first Layers of Fear ran poorly on the platform, their other Switch game, Observer, ran surprisingly well, often achieving a better framerate than the PS4 version. I was actually curious to see how well Bloober Team would port this game to Nintendo’s system. Layers of Fear 2 was originally released in 2019 for every single platform but the Switch. Clearly not the game’s highlight, even if it’s when it’s at its most tense. Finally, Layers of Fear 2 sometimes remembers it’s a horror game and randomly forces to run away from an amorphous monster in some bland chase sections. It focuses less on the annoying “ever changing corridor” mechanics from the original Layers of Fear, often resorting to a more linear level structure, with the occasional (and very obvious) puzzle for you to solve, such as unlocking a safe with a combination you had acquired literally in the previous room, or avoiding spotlights in order to reach the end of a corridor. The game’s “narrator” sounds an awful lot like Snoke from Star Wars…Īs a game itself… Layers of Fear 2 is still, by and large, a walking simulator with small doses of puzzle solving sprinkled throughout its duration. ![]() Jump scares are still present, but they aren’t as prevalent as before, with the game occasionally managing to pull off some well-deserved scares by combining its excellent (but compressed) binaural audio with a bit of tension and buildup. Once you know how the game will try to subvert your expectations, and how it will try to make you feel unsettled, you’ll basically run on cruise control up until the end of the final act. The game is comprised of five acts, with the first one being by far its most interesting, not because it’s immensely better than the rest of the experience, but because the game hardly changes its plot, puzzles and surprises throughout your entire gameplay. It doesn’t exactly pay off very well in the end, but I have to commend Bloober Team for making Layers of Fear 2‘s plot less dumb than the one from the original. One thing I immediately liked in Layers of Fear 2 over its predecessor is that I did not figure the entire plot out in the first fifteen seconds, with the game managing to hide and unveil its mysteries in a slightly more interesting pace. It’s still a game about an artist slowly descending into madness, but instead of playing as a painter inside a mansion, you now play as a struggling Hollywood actor from the first half of the 20th century, while being trapped inside the most confusing ship I have ever seen in a game. Layers of Fear 2 isn’t a direct sequel to the original, but follows some similar patterns. These graphics are quite impressive for a Switch game. ![]() It is not currently possible to install a backend plugin that applies to all workspaces of a Gitpod user or organization.

While this is merely speculation, it is also possible that some of his fellow inmates were aware of Andy’s escape plan to a certain extent, but chose to ignore it, as it seemed like a long-shot in such a high-security prison. The dust that was a result of the chiseling was periodically scattered by Andy in the yard, which is the reason why there was no tangible evidence of the fact that he was digging a hole, let alone a ten-foot tunnel. Apart from the dual factors of patience and time, Andy uses a little rock hammer to slowly chisel away the hole, which, when done quietly and carefully, is unlikely to produce much noise. Moreover, it is important to note that despite Andy’s cautious perseverance in escaping Shawshank, he built the tunnel over a period of many years - a testimony of his strong and unwavering resolve to experience true freedom. A combination of these reasons explains why the Warden did not take down the Raquel Welch poster in Andy’s cell, which essentially covered the entrance to the tunnel.ĭue to these circumstances, it is probable that it was easier for Andy to escape in Shawshank Redemption without anyone knowing about it, which is also why no one heard him digging the tunnel in the first place. Resultantly, Brooks Hatleb Memorial Library emerged as the finest prison library in all of New England, which understandably worked in favor of Andy’s reputation at Shawshank. Never exhibiting signs of wanting to escape prison, Andy was unanimously viewed as a model prisoner, especially after he takes on a position to help out in the library, which he helps refurbish over a period of six years. RELATED: The Shawshank Redemption Theory: Red Died And The Ending Was FakeĪs a result, Andy was exempt from manual labor and protected from harassment to the point that Captain Hadley beat up the leader of the Sister, Bogs, after a brutal assault post which Andy ended up in the infirmary for a month. Moreover, he goes on to help the warden with his corrupt money laundering schemes with his knowledge of finances and tax law. However, over time, Andy was able to befriend those around him and even form endearing friendships with the prison guards. Over the first two years of his sentence at Shawshank, Andy faced the brunt of harassment by the Sisters and remained isolated from his fellow inmates. Multiple people stated that they thought the term was an acronym for “select catch ready on dock,” or “seasonal catch ready on dock,” whereas New England Living claims the true acronym is “select catch received on the day.” It’s perhaps worth noting that there’s no etymological basis for any of these acronyms, but they are nonetheless widely accepted today.In order to understand and analyze how and why this was possible, one needs to look into the circumstances surrounding Andy, and the way in which he positions himself in the public eye at Shawshank State Penitentiary. An informal Twitter poll revealed competing ideas about how to properly deploy scrod. The Omni Parker Hotel’s story still resonates today, though, despite the fact that it’s been debunked - perhaps because New Englanders passionately cling to their own definitions of the word. Its roots could also be traced back to the Cornish word scraw, which means to split, salt, and dry. The likeliest origins of the word, etymologically speaking, are from the Dutch scrood, meaning “small cut up pieces,” which would refer to the typical 19th-century preparation of salted and dried pieces of young cod. Another cookbook from 1921 called The Boston Cooking-School Cookbook also defines scrod as young cod. ![]() This story is apocryphal: The original Omni Parker Hotel opened in 1855, but historians have discovered references to “broiled scrod” - a young cod browned on both sides and serve with butter and pepper - as far back as 1851 in a household manual called The American Matron or, Practical and Scientific Cookery. ![]() As New England Today tells the story, the hotel wanted the finest catch, but there was no guarantee that it would be cod, so the restaurant simply printed “scrod” on the menu as a convenient placeholder to identify whatever fish ended up in the kitchen that day. Fishing boats that returned from sea to auction off their catch had the freshest, highest quality fish on top, while the soggy, older fish were packed into the hold. The most common origin story comes from the Omni Parker Hotel in Boston, which claims to have invented the term. Today, cod is still omnipresent on restaurant menus, but so is scrod, and both are of great importance to New Englanders. ![]() Musiek et al 19 described HHL as difficulty understanding speech in noise despite normal audiograms. 17 Details about OAD can be found in Saunders et al. The term was coined in 1989, more than 30 years before the pandemic. An OAD is a clinical presentation whereby the patient experiences difficulty understanding speech in the presence of background noise when there is no measurable hearing loss or other obvious cause. It should be noted that similar behaviors of any comorbidities must be considered (eg, Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder). 15 It may be exacerbated in unfavorable acoustic environments, and is therefore often associated with difficulties in listening, speech understanding, language development, and learning. (C)APD can be defined as a deficit in the auditory areas of the brain resulting in the disruption of processing information specific to the auditory modality. 14)ġ) Central Auditory Processing Disorder (also referred to as an Auditory Processing Disorder). (Note that #2 and #3 below refer to hearing/speech recognition difficulties in the presence of a normal pure-tone audiogram. Several definitions appear in the professional literature that allude to BF. A “catch-all” code (R41.9) could be used in relation to BF (ie, “Unspecified symptoms and signs involving cognitive functions and awareness”). 10 In reviewing the literature that describes the symptoms associated with BF/MCI, it becomes clear that these reported behaviors are not unique because they also appear under other diagnostic labels (see Definitions).īF is a non-medical term, so there is no direct ICD-10-CM code for it. 5 A closer look at the reported BF symptoms reveals that many of these symptoms may be associated with another medically recognized diagnosis: a (central) auditory processing disorder or (C)APD. MCI symptoms include (but are not limited to) confusion, increased memory problems, lack of mental clarity, poor concentration, and an inability to stay focused. 8īF began being used interchangeably with MCI. 7 Also, the term “clouding of consciousness” was a pre-pandemic term used describe similar symptoms or behaviors. Brain Fog: What We KnowĪ search of the PubMed database (National Library of Science, 2021) identified the first use of the term “fog” in 2006 when researchers were referencing chemotherapy drug side effects (ie, confusion, memory impairment, etc). It is only when an audiologist conducts a comprehensive evaluation of the peripheral auditory system that a more specific diagnosis can be reached. Interestingly, persons with hearing loss usually have the same auditory behaviors and communication complaints that are listed in Table 1a (see also Definitions). The Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM) published a survey of over 1,500 COVID-19 survivors, 6 and the authors identified 50 symptoms that included: #1 fatigue (n = 1,567), #4 difficulty concentrating or focusing (n = 924), and #9 memory problems (n = 714). ![]() However, as time went on, this sub-group of survivors (long-haulers) continued to have serious medical issues related to the virus well beyond 2 months. 2,5 However, another term started to appear in professional literature and on social media that described the symptoms of MCI as “brain fog” (BF).īecause this pandemic was like no other that we have seen in over a century, the after-effects of the virus were initially thought to be short term (2-6 weeks), like most other viruses. Individuals with these persistent symptoms have been labeled “long-haulers” in the press and social media, most often exhibiting symptoms of mild cognitive impairment (MCI). They also can reoccur at any time with no warning. 1-3 These side effects include (but are not limited to) fatigue, mild cognitive issues, and low tolerance to mental activity. ![]() Many people have struggled with the aftereffects of COVID-19 for more than 3 weeks or longer after diagnosis. This article reviews the research on this subject and provides recommendations. When a COVID-19 survivor reports that they have been diagnosed with brain fog or mild cognitive impairment (BF/MCI), or these terms appear in a medical report, hearing care professionals should be aware that many of the BF/MCI symptoms are very similar to those seen in patients with (central) auditory processing disorder.

Waves of impoverished European immigrants began pouring into the area, including Jews from Germany.
