![]() Leaving Buena Vista on Highway 24 and heading to Florissant, you’ll near the start of the first scenic byway of the trip - the Gold Belt Tour. ![]() Stop in for an outdoor movie at Comanche Drive-In, where films are played with the backdrop of the Rocky Mountains (and it might be the highest drive-in theater in the country, at almost 8,000 feet). In this town, you’ll find the Arkansas River, gorgeous hiking trails, lakes and a whole host of other outdoor pursuits. Heading south on Highway 285 from Denver, you’ll reach the town of Buena Vista. Photo courtesy of Royal Gorge Bridge & Park. Take note that some scenic byways are only open seasonally (especially this year with more snowpack and summer snowstorms in the high country) and most of them have lower speed limits than highways and interstates. Each segment is connected to another segment, although there are multiple routes to take in some instances. From the Pawnee Grasslands in the north to the Santa Fe Trail in the south, each stretch holds its own stories, landscapes and things to do, which we’ve explained. And that screams road trip potential, to us.Īlthough the dedicated few might take it upon themselves to drive on every single Colorado scenic byway, we’ve made a mapped guide to discovering and exploring 10 of them, in succession. That means Colorado holds more nationally recognized byways than any other state. Colorado has 26 designated scenic byways, 11 of which are America’s Byways. ![]() ![]() Some might say that the only way to travel through America is via scenic byways - or roads that hold archeological, cultural, historic, natural, recreational or scenic significance.

If that is indeed the plan and Little Devil Inside hasn’t been delayed again, then it should be interesting to see when we get. However, fast forwarding to the present day, the vast majority of the other titles shown in 2021’s final State of Play (Bugsnax: The Isle of Bugsnax DLC, Death’s Door, Deathverse: Let It Die, First Class Trouble, Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach, King of Fighters XV, Star Ocean The Divine Force, and We Are OFK) have all been released. According to the page, the game is targeting a Winter 2022 release. The game internally planned to release in. A nearly five minute long narrated trailer demonstrated the upcoming RPG’s highly unique art style, exciting blend of action and survival, fascinating supernatural meets Victorian era open world, as well as some short cinematics and gameplay elements that quickly skyrocketed Little Devil Inside to the top of many gamers’ wish lists for 2022. The developers have yet to give a definitive statement on when Little Devil Insides will launch. In the State of Play, it seems the devs at Neostream Interactive admit that they somehow missed their release window. Given how many delays players have already had to weather, fingers crossed that the latest planned release date sometime in 2023 is more on the money.It was just a little over a year ago on Octothat Little Devil Inside provided the grand finale of the PlayStation State of Play, which highlighted upcoming third party titles for PS4 and PS5 consoles. Subscriptions include the latest regular issue and new issues released during your subscription. We've already seen the minimalist user interface, with players instead forced to study the environments and take clues from the visual appearance of the characters to work out if/when they need something. Journey through the wilderness - explore cities, forests, mountains and deserts. Little Devil Inside is being developed for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox. ![]() Obviously, years have passed since then, and there was still no release date given today. ![]() However, with a game like Little Devil Inside, the pull is all about that steampunk-inspired art style. Little Devil Inside is a truly engaging 3D action adventure RPG game where you are thrown into a surreal but somewhat familiar setting with men, creatures and monsters to interact with, learn and hunt - survive and discover the world that exists beyond. Neostream originally pitched Little Devil Inside as a Kickstarter project, successfully bringing in over 230,000 to fund the game, including a stretch goal to release on Wii U. Like Cuphead it has a visual style like American cartoons of the 1930s. Each time, the game remained vague about when it would materialize and it looks like this trend will continue, as the project has now slipped into 2023. Little Devil Inside is an adventure in a wilderness. You may remember the game being showcased on multiple occasions at game conferences. Tried-and-tested RPG features such as harvesting, cooking food and chopping wood are all going to be instrumental in keeping a character alive, though Neostream have been quick to point out that this won't be a gruelling survival experience, but rather a game that emphasizes the journey players go on. By Daavpuke, Posted The mysterious Little Devil Inside might be in hot waters. The semi-open world (navigated to and from via a tile-shifting world map) will feature a variety of different themes, but there is much more in store with Little Devil Inside than just its charming visuals.

But there were definitely some drawbacks. The concept focus around "being green" while providing rooms that have plenty of amenities especially for extended stays. ![]() The breakfast area looked nice but I never got food from there.This hotel has its heart in the right place. I saw a few spots on the floor in the hallway to my room but the floors were vacuumed or swept daily. This hotel had lots af families and I did feel safe, you must use your room key in order for the elevator to work, I did not go out at night so no comments on the night life, a huge Marriott and Courtyard hotel is right around the corner, I took training classes at the Marriott for 5 days, the hotel is beautiful but too big and busy for me, my classmates said they like my room more, yes I would recommend this hotel. You are also about 3 blocks from a huge Macy's store. Ok on to more food, the Reading Market, got a foot long Philly cheesesteak it cost abou$11 but I ate off it 3 times, I got cookies from 4th street cookies they were $2 each but really worth it, I got ice cream from Bassetts Icream it was delicious, and the best spot was a soul food station called Parker soul food, it's right across from the ice cream store, well that soul food spot did NOT disappoint it was DELICIOUS the fried chicken was cooked perfect, the macaroni and cheese was delicious and the yams were so sweet and delicious, they also had greens, fried cabbage, baked turkey wings rice with gravey and some other items that looked great, you must check this restaurant out. Took the Bigbus 90 minute tour it was really nice and interesting, you board 1/2 block from hotel. Burlington Coat Factory, Marshalls Store and CVS Pharmacy are all about 4 blocks away, Centrury 21 clothing store, Ross Clothing, Rite Aid are about 7-8 blocks away, then on to the Liberty Bell exhibit, about 12 blocks away, it was free when I went in some classmates told me they thought they had to pay to get in. I did see the parking garage next door but did not use, Panera bread and Burger Fi are located on the first floor of the building, I ate at both several time with no issues, Maggiano's Italian restaurant is right around the corner and it's delicious, there's a 7-11 store a few doors down from Maggiano's so I went there for water soda chips etc, they do sell alot of other things you need while traveling. IHome docking station with a 43-47 inch tv. Plenty of lights throughout the room, full size mirror and easy to control air conditioner unit. Home2 Sutes are about a 15 minutes cab ride from the airport cost me $32 by myself once I got here I did not need a car at all, so yes you see homeless people when you arrive but they were ok, lobby area has a nice new retro look the hotel is a little larger than it looks but not huge, my room was a newly decorated queen suite with a love seat, ottoman, desk with chair and table that's on wheels, with dark wooden closet area and kitchen with the matching wood grain, full slim refrigerator with bottom freezer up top microwave and full dishwasher, individual coffee machine in room, nice drawer space. Was so glad to get to a Marriott on our next stop. The hallway carpets have dark paths of dirt-makes you wonder about everything else. We stayed here a few years ago when it was new and it was very nice, but now it is becoming run down. The CHARGE WAS ON OUR HOTEL BILL! They advertise the service and then disown the responsibility. The front desk and manager refused to help saying we needed to take it up with the garage. My husband paid another $32 to get out of the ramp so we could leave. The only problem is that the card does not work when you want to depart. ![]() We choose to use their 43.00 parking service so we could go in and out. The place is cheap for downtown Philly and it is packed with families. We had to take everything off the bed and remake it so we could sleep.

So while asking those silly questions might appear insignificant on the surface, they ultimately reveal information about your friend. ![]() "The question and its answer is a starting point for a conversation journey that maybe you wouldn’t be having with that friend," says Akbari. No matter the answer, you now have the opportunity to ask more questions, simultaneously uncovering the layers as to who your friend truly is inside. “The value is not so much in the question itself, but in the conversation that the question sparks,” says Anna Akbari, PhD, a sociologist and former professor in the department of media, culture, and communication at New York University. Imagine what hidden gems you might learn about your friends after they confess their guilty pleasures, or show off their best dance moves. But the fun, silly questions you ask your friends can also be important-not just for strengthening your bond, but for your overall happiness. You might think the only way to get to know someone-like, really know them-is by having a one-on-one convo full of deeply personal questions. ![]() ![]() As a vestige of an older, more open internet era, you don't have to pay to get a premium experience.

You don't want to have to deal with weird UI quirks or even really interact with your reader app-it's all about seamlessly mainlining as much high-quality content as possible. Good RSS services have a weirdly challenging job: they have to gather content from loads of different places and display it for you, all while getting out of the way as much as possible.

It was built in 1499 with a square plan and a golden spire. Chimi Lhakhang was built in the mad saint's honour by his cousin on a hillock (this hillock was called by Kunley a "woman's breast") in a valley for the good deeds done to his people by subduing the evil forces and demonesses with his "magic thunderbolt of wisdom". According to the legend, he used to hit the evil forces with his penis (or cohabited with them) and turn them into protective deities. The nyönpa lived in a place known as Lobesa close to Chimi Lhakhang to drive away demonesses and protect the local people. Chimi Lhakhang, established by Drukpa Kunley and is known for its wooden phalluses. ![]() It is for this reason that his phallus, as a symbol, is depicted in paintings on the walls of the houses, and he is shown in thangka paintings holding a "wooden stick with penis head". It is also said that he is "perhaps the only saint in the religions of the world who is almost exclusively identified with phallus and its creative power". Kunley's organ, as painted, is called the "Thunderbolt of Flaming Wisdom" as it unnerved demons and demonesses and subdued them. He is, therefore, also called the "fertility saint", as the monastery he built, Chimi Lhakhang, is visited by not only Bhutanese women but also people from the United States and Japan. ![]() It was he who propagated the legend of painting phalluses on walls and flying hanging phalluses from roof tops of houses to drive away evil spirits and subdue demonesses. However, his ways appealed to lay practitioners. He was utterly devoid of all social conventions and called himself the "Madman from Kyishodruk." ĭrukpa Kunley's intention was to shock the clergy, who were uppity and prudish in their behaviour and teachings of Buddhism. His sexual exploits included his hosts and promoters. He was a crazy saint who extensively travelled in Bhutan, who was fond of women and wine, and adopted blasphemous and unorthodox ways of teaching Buddhism. ![]() Kunley migrated from Tibet, was trained in Ralung Monastery in Tibet, and belonged to the period of Pema Lingpa and was his disciple. The often mentioned origin of the symbolic phallus is as a legacy of the popular Bhutanese saint Drukpa Kunley (1455–1529). What we know about it is what we heard from our forefathers." History Dasho Lam Sanga, a former principal of the Institute of Language and Culture Studies (ILCS), while acknowledging that there are no written documents regarding the subject, refers to the oral history: "But the worship of the phallus was believed to be in practice even before the arrival of Guru Rinpoche and Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal . In Bon, the phallus was integral to all rituals. While the history of use of phallus symbols is generally traced to Drukpa Kunley, studies carried out at the Center of Bhutan Studies (CBS) have inferred that the phallus was an integral part of the early ethnic religion associated with Bon that existed in Bhutan before Buddhism became the state religion. However, rural and ordinary houses continue to display them. The phallic symbols are generally not depicted in community temples and dzongs, which are places of worship where lamas or Buddhist monks and nuns who have adopted celibate lifestyles live. Traditionally symbols of an erect penis in Bhutan have been intended to drive away the evil eye and malicious gossip. However phallus paintings can still be seen on the walls of houses and buildings throughout Bhutan, particularly in villages, and are credited as Kunley's creations. These explicit paintings have become embarrassing to many of the country's urbanites, and this form of folk culture is informally discouraged in urban centers as modern western Abrahamic cultural norms of shaming the human body and sexuality have spread in Bhutan's urban centers. The village monastery was built in honour of Lama Drukpa Kunley who lived at the turn of the 16th century and who was popularly known as the "Mad Saint" ( nyönpa) or “Divine Madman” for his unorthodox ways of teaching, which amounted to being bizarre and shocking. Phallus paintings in Bhutan are esoteric symbols, which have their origins in the Chimi Lhakhang monastery near Punakha, the former capital of Bhutan.
