![]() Chuck explains that while the four of them enjoy their top-shelf seafood, tonight is known as “the Big Ugly” in Albany. He’s privately dining with the three members of Prince’s “A team,” Todd Krakow, Bud Lazzara, and Sruthi Reddy (the engineer behind Prince’s Olympic subway express plan). Over at the upscale restaurant Oceana, Chuck implements his plan to destroy the New York City Olympics through a complex game of smoke and mirrors. In a later scene, we see that Wags does follow Rian’s advice, but his eyes suggest he’s not comfortable with his decision. OMG, can I have Wags as my uncle? In gratitude, Rian offers Wags her own nugget of wisdom: Give up the suite if he wants this relationship with Chelz to last because secrets are equally toxic. Wags is understanding but firmly tells Rian she must have the courage to tell Taylor the deal is toxic. ![]() She confides in him about Hypersonic and how Taylor is standing on the precipice of a huge mistake. What wasn’t part of this plan was for Rian to use the suite for self-care (Cheetos, face mask, Bridesmaids) or for Wags to discover her doing so.įortunately, because Wags is awesome, he’s exactly what Rian needs to get through this rough patch with Taylor. Rian agrees to put the room under her name, with Wags reimbursing her, along with making sure Chelz isn’t a Venmo stalker. Wags announces he’s moving in with Chelz (aww!), but he doesn’t want to give up his suite at the Pierre. Speaking of Rian, she and Wags get to share a fun little subplot that’s a huge break from the rest of the heavy narrative. Not helping matters is Philip, who echoes Rian’s concerns and warns Taylor that they will hurt everyone at the company if this deal fails. Once again, Taylor refuses to listen to the facts, caring for nothing except beating Philip and coming out on top. Rian, however, tells them to slow their roll because she can’t verify Hypersonic’s tech claims. But considering Taylor is already operating from a disadvantage, with Prince clearly preferring Philip over them and their season-long drive to score big wins no matter the cost, it doesn’t take much to predict this Hypersonic deal is headed for disaster.įollowing one meeting with its CEO, Taylor is all in on making Hypersonic the official Olympics airline. Philip, taking the “keep your enemies closer” approach, declines Prince’s command. Prince tries passing it off to Philip, much to Taylor’s chagrin. Taylor is building a relationship with the CEO of a new high-tech passenger airline called “Hypersonic,” and they want to secure it as the official airline of the Olympics. Meanwhile, there’s an interesting storyline building between Taylor and MPC’s new golden boy, Philip, with Rian taking a central role as the voice of reason. (It’s just a bummer that Chuck can’t track down proof of the actual bribery because the audience gets all the evidence it needs courtesy of a call Prince makes to Colin Drache, who is currently hiding out in some bungalow circa 1942 Casablanca.) But if they can’t go to another state, then they’re screwed. See, Chuck knows that if he goes after Prince from a state-tax angle, the rich folks who make up Prince’s cabal can just move their funds to another state. But, since he still has zero proof, it means he must resort to the full Chuck Rhoades: Use every favor and ruse at his fingertips to attain results.ĭave is tasked with convincing Governor Sweeney and the governors of New York’s neighboring states to attend an interstate compact dinner. But it just comes off as a “let’s celebrate Michael Thomas Aquinas Prince” campaign.Ĭhuck kicks things off this episode by going straight to the head of the International Commission of Sport, Katarina Brett, to accuse Prince of shady tactics to win the Olympics bid. Between Gabrielle Reece as his coach and a sunrise TV interview with a skeptical Gayle King, Prince presents a “let’s celebrate what humans are capable of” attitude. The first hint that Prince cared less about New York hosting the Games and more about putting himself on a pedestal was the revelation that he was training to do the original Olympic Marathon route - solo. That and it was immensely satisfying to watch Andy bail on her controlling husband the second the Games relocated to Los Angeles. This was one scheme where I was heavily leaning toward Team Chuck because Prince’s pretentious behavior as some newly anointed Olympics god was really getting on my nerves. Yep, Mike Prince’s American Dream of presiding over the first-ever New York City Olympics was snatched away tonight, with Chuck orchestrating one single, brutal betrayal. A recap for “The Big Ugly” almost feels redundant considering Chuck Rhoades and Dave Mahar sum up the episode themselves:Ĭhuck: “What’s the only thing worse than not getting what you want?”ĭave: “Getting something that you want and then having it ripped from your hands.”

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that Maximum Detail is where all the action is. Static environmental shadowing also appears - seen here on the boulders - which again raises the bar that little bit higher. Foliage is a welcome addition, brightening up the fields of Naboo with lengthy grass and wildflowers Kashyyk is covered with dense ferns. ![]() Texture detail takes a big jump, adding much needed detail to grass, gravel, rock and snow.

This allows you to fine-tune the detail bias for Particles, Geometry, Water, Shaders, Textures, Shadows and Environment.

Having evaluated the gameplay elements, the second part of our review will examine the finer points of the bespoke Alamo engine. The new graphics engine would allow Empire at War to play well and look good on lower-end systems, while also looking amazing with a full DirectX 9 feature set on high-end systems." When implemented, Alamo quickly proved to look stunning and perform solidly. "To satisfy our high requirements, we wrote our own proprietary Alamo graphics engine. "Though architected very well, neither gave us the specific rendering power that was required for the game," said Petroglyph president and lead programmer in his Designer Diary. The AlamoAs part of the development of the game, the Empire team at Petroglyph originally evaluated two third-party graphics engines. ![]() It doesn't have any long-term effects besides momentarily weakening the nationalists a bit, so why not.Ban Youth Organisations: Ban the Young Sords.You won't be able to go to war with Rumburg since you'll defund the military, but this doesn't mean that you can't convince the entire international community to embargo them by playing the nice, defenseless boy.Rumberg Response: Issue a diplomatic protest.Bernard Circas was the man whose political views resembled yours the most, so you owe him this one and, by the way, the deal with Koronti allows you to openly proclaim your malenyevist views without side effects (either Marcel is playing 16D chess or I'm missing something).Funeral of Bernard Circas: Attend and allow Red Youth.You don't want to go against the WPB and CPS, as they're the closest you'll ever get to having political allies (which is still very far).As for Koronti, the medias' supports is always nice to have, and you can always betray him later (see disclaimer). You'll need to strengthen your powers in order to bring the change Sordland needs without getting couped, impeached or ruining your economy.Beginning constitution negotiations + Media Meeting: Get Lucian to draft an executive empowering constitution, organise a meeting with Koronti and accept his offer.If you need another guide on how to behave in this scenario, try reading Machiavelli's "The Prince". If you want to complete this run, be ready to throw any notion of morality you currently have out of the window (that's a bourgeois concept anyway so it won't be that hard), since you'll need to betray almost anyone you meet's trust at one point or another. Petr and Lucian, maybe? So, without further ado, let's get into the action. ![]() I think you can see why this is going to be tough, especially considering that the entire vanguard of the sordish proletariat consists of you and. The only ministers of your government who you somewhat like are Paskal, Ciara and Nia, but they'll all hate you for not being democratic enough. Your main political opposition (besides your own party) is composed of Ricter's arcasian moles and Kibener's fascists. Most of the economy is owned by the Oligarchs, but they're the lesser threat since they somehow trust an ex-Red Youth member, planned economy supporter and United Contana fan to do their interests. Most of the sordish state apparatus is run by Old Guard members or sympathizers, which wouldn't dislike Lileas's leadership or a military coup. You've just been elected as president of Sordland and lead a party whose every ideological wing you despise. Promise to fund anything except the military (you want to cosplay as Leon Malenyev, not Artor Wisci).Keep immigration laws relaxed (it just makes sense, since it will improve your economy, make trade negotiations with Agnolia easier and make the bluds hate you less).Personally I watched everything unfold from the sidelines and later accepted Soll's offer. The only thing you don't want to do is supporting Alphonso, as no true socialist would do that. There's no way for Gloria's conservatives to pass your constitution without you making a compromise ( disgusting), so you'll need to do it without her and half of your party (which is exactly where throwing money at people helps).Internal power Dispute: Anything except supporting Alphonso.You'll want to pass a constitution that gives you more power to transform Sordland, and being educated in Law will allow for smoother negotiations with the Supreme Court centrists.I know most of you would like to see Anton Rayne be born in poverty to rise the social ladder and become the spearhead of the sordish workers' revolution but, unfortunately, the odds are stacked against you for this run and, without solving some problems by throwing money at them, it will be impossible for you to achieve your aims.Let's start by moving our wannabe Malenyev cosplayer's first steps into the world Before starting, I'd like to thank u/someredditbloke for their Authoritarian/Pragmatic Socialist Dictator Guide, from which I took heavy inspiration for both planning my run and writing this guide. ![]() On the farthest side, the graph morphs into the shape of a beautiful little heart.įor those who have been looking for truly personalized heartbeat tattoos idea, here is something special.

Aluminum isn’t going anywhere, and neither is Constellium. Investors should view the current share price near $8 as a blessing. With that in mind, it makes sense CSTM stock is down so far. Constellium’s clients include Boeing (NYSE: BA) and Ford (NYSE: F), two companies particularly hard hit by the pandemic. Plus, the industries it supports are struggling. ![]() CEO Jean-Marc German says the company is well-positioned to survive the pandemic, but investors don’t react well to shuttered factories. Well, Constellium has had to reduce or suspend work at several of its plants. Shares were trending higher until February 2020, and then they crashed. CSTM stock is down almost 40% for the year, which is worse than the broader market. There’s a lot to like about Constellium, but it’s having a rough 2020. Clearly the company has a diversified clientele. It’s behind beer cans, cars, next-generation armored vehicles and airplane fuselage. Paris-based Constellium makes aluminum products for all sorts of industries. For Constellium, that truth is the heart of a business. One thing we all probably take for granted is aluminum.

The first company on my list of cheap stocks to buy has been on my radar for just about a month now, but I’m seriously excited about its potential. So read on, as I go into more detail about each of these excellent and inexpensive picks below. Best of all, they’re cheap stocks with rich paths ahead. These 10 stocks all have “strong buy” consensus ratings and price targets that imply greater than 15% upside from their current share prices. In no particular order, here are 10 cheap stocks to buy right now: “And stocks with prices below $5 are stigmatized as ‘penny stocks.’ A very low stock price is almost always a symptom of an underperforming firm.”īut beyond the risks there is potential for big reward. “No company likes its stock price falling below a dollar,” Fernando said in an email.

Food and Drug Administration approval.īut remember, when evaluating cheap stocks to buy, it is important to look at more than just the price. These cheap stocks are often cannabis or biotech plays, banking on hot market concepts or a drug still waiting for U.S. In fact, some even deserve to fall further. But many of these names are highly volatile, and for good reason. It seems like everyone wants to find the few names that will truly soar, in turn bringing unbelievable returns in one month or one year. What’s more, there’s also something exciting about investing in cheap stocks. However, these cheap stocks to buy for less than $10 offer both learning opportunities and huge upside potential. That’s because these big names come with massive price tags, and they may not be realistic first investments for someone just starting out. For new investors, looking at companies like Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) and Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) can be disconcerting. |
