![]() "We're proud of the impact we've been able to make in such a short amount of time, but we've just scratched the surface," adds James. "Something Special is a natural extension of the brand, as I am always looking for new avenues to celebrate cultural histories and timeless design." At the Pledge, the entrepreneur notes that they are homing in on growing their Business Equity Community, which now has over 1,500 Black businesses and eases connectivity between retail partners and Black brands-and they are also bringing on more companies across all industries. "I am enjoying expressing my creativity and becoming even more intertwined with my artisan partners," she says. With the launch of Something Special, James is even more excited about how her businesses will continue to branch out. ![]() "Too many of those statements were filled with promises or one-off donations with no transparency on how each company would hold themselves accountable to their commitments." As a result, James took matters into her own hands with her social media post, tagging some of the biggest retailers across the globe, and writing, "We represent 15 percent of the population and we need to represent 15 percent of your shelf space." The call-out turned into the launch of the Fifteen Percent Pledge, an organization dedicated to ensuring Black brands are represented in stores, "because the corporate playbook of releasing statements and writing one-time checks was not enough." She explains that the Pledge is not "a quick fix or band-aid solution for companies it's a tangible, contractual commitment to tackle the systemic inequities that have historically locked Black businesses out of economic opportunities." "After the murder of George Floyd in 2020, countless corporations issued statements of solidarity claiming they stood with the Black community," James says. James founded the Fifteen Percent Pledge, a non-profit advocacy organization that initially began as an Instagram post, to combat the injustices Black people face in the world. "I launched Brother Vellies in January 2013 with a goal of promoting the amazing work of these and other artisans, always making sure their work stays authentic, recognized, and supported," the fashion designer says. After helping a workshop in South Africa with their design of veldskoen shoes, also known as Vellies, she created her Brooklyn-based brand and began selling shoes at a market on the Lower East Side. She also heard about the multigenerational business owners' fears that their shops would end up closing due to boosts in mass production. ![]() "I was always fascinated by beautiful things, and I got the idea for my sustainable accessories line while backpacking through Africa in my 20s." During this trip in 2011, James drew inspiration from the locals, as she witnessed how they pieced their garments together. "My mother always said that fashion was a tool for women to communicate with each other about how they're feeling and their culture," she says. From a young age, Aurora James, the founder and creative director at Brother Vellies, knew that fashion played an important role in the world.

![]() The story on the first one is way better then Extinction. Personally i found the first a much more enjoyable experience. You find which is the best if there is one.Īnd if both are good, which would you advise me to do first?ĭont know if you already made your decision and got one of those games, but talking about nexomon, i would suggest you to really give a chance to the first Nexomon, even if it's not in your original language. Originally posted by AllMight74:Hello for those who made the 2 games. Considering each mon is only one type, strategy is very easy. This game was extremely easy for me on the standard difficulty. My experience with Coromon is different than yours. There's a lot going on in each game that a simple paragraph would not suffice. But of course, is your choice and your money. When you play Nexomon you will understand what I wrote above + you will see the difference. ![]() Why? easy answer: it is a true Monster game because every Mons feels unique. But i still recommend you to play Coromon first before Extinction. PD: Sorry to hear that about Nexomon 1 not being translated into your language. The important thing (like in Pokemon and Coromon) is to have a mixed team with different types so you can easily win every battle Nexomon is a casual experience where is not important the team you make. In Coromon every Mon feels unique (have 3 or 4 different traits, which can be useful depending of your playstyle and Mons team) but the story is linear, with a few side quests here and there. Nexomon games are just straightforward games with zero tactic (well you can increase their attack, defense etc with some "cores" but thats it, really basic). In the first Nexomon i had a lot of favoirites because of the art style). Nexomon Extinction has a better story and side quests but most of the Mons are awful looking (i only liked a few. When i said Nexomon 1 is better, is not for its story but it is better in Monster designs. Then you compare it to a third Mons that has 121. As example "this" Nexomon has 120 attack while "the other one" has 122. In Nexomon there is almost no difference between Mons. And these to say the Mons have equal statistics? They have many differences because they are fire, water, etc. Originally posted by AllMight74:I wanted to talk about Nexomon Extinction the first Nexomon is not translated into my language I will not play it. They notched Quad 1 wins over Duke, Pittsburgh and NC State, the latter two coming on the road.Ĭlemson bagged two other Quads 1 wins over the Wolfpack, including a 26-point throttling in the ACC Tournament quarterfinals Thursday – an indication of just how dominant the Tigers were capable of being. The Tigers won their first seven conference games en route to a program-record 14 ACC wins in the regular season. ![]() More than half of those (6) came in the non-conference portion of the schedule, which ranked 315th nationally in terms of difficulty, according to KenPom.īut Clemson went 6-4 against teams that ended up in the NCAA Tournament and handled its business more often than not once ACC play began. A Quad 4 loss to a four-win Louisville team last month didn’t help.Įleven of Clemson’s games were played against the fourth quadrant. The Tigers lost four games against the bottom two quadrants, including a Quad 3 setback at South Carolina in November and an 18-point thumping in the fourth quadrant at the hands of Loyola Chicago on a neutral floor a month later. Knowing the criteria the selection committee typically weighs in evaluating potential at-large teams, ESPN bracketologist Joe Lunardi warned last week that the Tigers’ lack of overall substance in the non-conference could be their undoing. And despite finishing third in the conference standings, winning 68% of its games against league competition and notching four Quad 1 victories, Clemson wasn’t among them. “I really feel that way.”īut the ACC got just five into the field. “I think this league should get seven to eight teams in this year,” Keatts said. Brad Brownell and his players were convinced after Clemson pummeled NC State in its ACC Tournament opener that they had done enough to dance. Their body of work made for a polarizing resume in the eyes of many around the sport. But there will be plenty of debate about whether or not that’s the postseason tournament the Tigers should be playing in. The 32-team field for the National Invitational Tournament will be announced later tonight, and Clemson (23-10) will accept an invite should one be extended as expected, a source told The Clemson Insider. ![]() It’s the second straight year Clemson has missed out on the NCAA Tournament. The selection committee revealed this year’s 68-team field tonight, and the Tigers weren’t among the at-large selections after being eliminated from the ACC Tournament late last week. ![]() After a couple of days of sweating it out, Clemson’s men’s basketball team has learned its NCAA Tournament fate.

While a combat heavy experience similar to past iterations the questing, boss fights and occasional puzzle aim to break up the game cycle. Lack of mechanic growth aside The Baconing has seen a reasonable reduction in the heavy fetched based quests of the previous title which helps quests feel more enjoyable and unique from each other. With all that said though and the limited time between game releases it’s clear that little thought was put into evolving the mechanics adopted by the series so far with the new additions feeling more like a DLC level leap rather than a new addition to a franchise. Further variety has also been included through additional sidekicks for added variety in the multiplayer element. In turn this means the usual click and slash gameplay but also builds on it slightly with additional mechanics on bashing enemies that become attached to players, reflecting ranged projectiles from enemies and adding a few other basic options to combat. Thus your quest which is appropriately named The Baconing sees players returning to familiar mechanics that the Deathspank franchise has created from the action RPG archetype. ![]() In response DeathSpank embarks on a fresh quest of craziness to destroy the Thongs of Virtue which can only be done in the Fires of Bacon (Lord of the Rings style) before Anti-Spank and the Cyborques army claim Spanktopia with their darkness forever. This new adventure once again follows DeathSpank and his crazy journey through monsters and strange environments and picks up soon after the previous game with DeathSpank equipping the magical Thongs of Virtue and in the process accidentally creating an evil clone known as Anti-Spank. Avoiding any significant changes to the core gameplay loop that has carried the series thus far The Baconing doubles down on the humour side of the experience instead to conclude the trilogy of games. The Baconing is the third game in the DeathSpank series and has players starting a new action RPG and loot based adventure with the same touch of humour that has been persistent throughout the franchise. ![]() Overusing our search engine with a very large number of searches in a very short amount of time.Using a badly configured (or badly written) browser add-on for blocking content.Running a "scraper" or "downloader" program that either does not identify itself or uses fake headers to elude detection.Using a script or add-on that scans GameFAQs for box and screen images (such as an emulator front-end), while overloading our search engine.There is no official GameFAQs app, and we do not support nor have any contact with the makers of these unofficial apps.
