In order to escape, the rebel cell then needed to steal AT-DPs and fight their way out. Between 4 BBY and 3 BBY, the Spectres undertook a heist within an Imperial base. These walkers were also prominent in many Empire Day festivals, serving in a similar capacity to stormtroopers and Star Destroyers as omnipresent symbols of the Empire's strength. ![]() Many of these walkers saw action against the rebel cell located on Lothal. Some time later, while on a mission to steal unknown Imperial weapons, the Spectres located T-7 Ion disruptor rifles and used them to disable attacking AT-DPs. In 18 BBY, AT-DPs were deployed to Mon Cala and fought in the Battle of Dac City under Darth Vader to combat the forces of King Lee-Char on Mon Cala. They subsequently used the AT-DP walkers as the vanguard in urban fighting on Mendavi. The Imperial 291st Legion used the newly released AT-DP walkers to clear out a nest of Thalassian slavers on Galpos II. The AT-DP was originally intended to be used to protect Imperial assets on occupied worlds, including military installations and distribution centers on backwater planets. In situations where an Imperial presence needed to be established quickly and powerfully, two walkers could be attached to the underside docking clamps of a Gozanti-class cruiser for landing in almost any suitable environment. Many of these walkers were used in Imperial facilities such as Imperial Academies for both defensive purposes and training cadets. ĪT-DPs were used throughout the Empire to keep the populations of occupied worlds in line and to combat insurgent forces. Although the walkers were sturdy, their heads were prone to exploding under sustained duress, such as being pressed by an AT-AT. ![]() ![]() Thermal detonators exploded near the legs and feet of a walker could also cause damage. This armor could not protect against missile launchers, however, and in one instance, an AT-DP was disabled when shot with a T-7 ion disruptor rifle. To protect the crewmembers and equipment, each walker possessed armor strong enough to protect from blaster fire. Kanan shooting an AT-DP with a disruptor rifle. Each of these walkers had a hatch at the top to access the cockpit a main viewport at the front, with bulbs on the side and slits to improve visibility and holographic projectors. The cockpit had seating for a driver and a gunner, with the gunner situated behind the driver, though both crewmen could move the walker, fire the cannon and had access to the gyroscopic controls used to keep the walker stable. The weapon was powerful enough to destroy another walker of the same type. Unlike the bulky AT-AC which was almost as tall, and the smaller AT-ST, that boasts a host of armaments, the AT-DP was armed only with a single Maad-38 heavy laser cannon. The AT-DP walker, a successor to the AT-RT used by the Empire's predecessor state, the Galactic Republic, it served as the mainstay of backwater garrisons and support for larger war machines, including the AT-AT. ![]() ![]() ![]() Every time she falls over, she gets back up. It’s a giddy combination of adult smugness at getting one over on a rival combined with childish conspiratorial whispering under a blanket fort.Īnd despite everything that happens to her, Misfortune won’t let you down. Thankfully, this is directly balanced by the joy whenever you can lead Misfortune into any small act of rebellion against him. Voice said, his breaking the fourth wall to rope the player into his scheme creates an awful sense of complicity. Voice giving her some awful, slimy compliment for playing along, to which she always replies with the same shy “thank you.”ĭespite having my skin crawl at almost everything Mr. It is noticeable, but doesn’t really affect the game except in one part: it draws attention to repeated instances of Mr. ![]() The game occasionally reuses voice acting for Misfortune, so she says repeated lines like “mmm-okay” and “yikes forever” in the same (cute) cadence every time. Voice are easily enough momentum to carry through the sticking points. More generally, the twin motivations of loving Misfortune and hating Mr. Like how I found myself very invested in one particular fish. ![]() ![]() Not everything appears to get referenced again, but the bits that do are highlights. While many “choices matter” games struggle to feel satisfying without going all the way into a branching narrative, Little Misfortune’s short runtime (about three hours) and lack of distractions means that callbacks to earlier decisions land without needing to be hugely impactful on the plot itself. Other than some very minor puzzles, all you’re doing is unravelling dialogue and plot, so when that dialogue falls flat it’s especially obvious. There are many of these weirdly jarring moments, which become bigger stumbling blocks because everything hinges on Little Misfortune’s story and writing. But the part where he assumes eight-year-old Misfortune is going through puberty and describes that as “your body is preparing to create life inside of you,” still feels like it comes from absolutely nowhere, as does the joke (?) in the same conversation where Misfortune mishears “hormones” as “homos.” Voice is very clearly suspicious from the start, and quickly becomes creepier and creepier. Sometimes the abruptness of capital I-Issues and goofs overlap directly, confusing whether something is meant to be one or the other or both. Jamming a poop joke after an instance of animal death does little but ensure that they trip one another up, where landing one on its feet alone was already tricky. That feeling isn’t helped by the tonal mismatch that places these adult fears alongside much more juvenile humour. But others, like suicide, feel tossed in for shock value before never being addressed again. Some topics, like abuse, underpin the entire narrative and broadly work to give it a grounding in true unpleasantness. The game leans heavily on real-world horrors alongside its more supernatural scares. If you’re anything like me, though, you might find yourself tossing out handfuls of the stuff at things much more abstract than Misfortune can properly grasp. As a metaphor for perseverance and enjoying the little things, it’s not subtle, but it is very cute. As I said, you can hurl sparkles whenever you feel called to, but at certain prompts it will cause her to overcome the fear, pasting a new, nicer image borne of a child’s overactive imagination over the worst of whatever disaster she’s witnessed. Misfortune is, you may be shocked to hear, surrounded by tragedies big and small at every moment. This is objectively good game design, but it’s also desperately endearing. And you can throw glitter at any given moment. Voice, and make decisions that’ll come back around later in the story. You move left and right through each scene at your own pace, interact with objects to discuss them with Mr. What follows is an interactive adventure, though not a point and click like developer Killmonday Games’ previous work, Fran Bow. You can’t really blame her for being uncreative here, considering her own name. Misfortune says yes, because she’d love to give that eternal happiness to her mum, and also names the voice Mr. It begins with a voice in Misfortune’s head asking her to play a game in exchange for eternal happiness. Little Misfortune is a fairytale horror story – think Brothers Grimm, not Disney. And for everything else, there is glitter. That’s part of the lot she’s been handed in life, and as her thematically appropriate name might suggest, the rest of it isn’t great either.īut for every time she takes a spill, she also has an animation for getting back up.

The purpose of the audit is to help leaders “know better” in certain high priority areas so that an appropriate plan of action can be formulated-with the ultimate goal of “doing better.” This is known as an HR audit, and it should cover areas including Compliance, Recordkeeping and Regulations, Recruiting and Hiring, HR Systems and Processes, Policies and Procedures, Compensation and Benefits and more. In our experience the answer involves getting an expert, independent perspective on how your organization looks, feels and operates from your employees’ perspective. So how does the leader get from doing the best they can to knowing better and doing better? That’s the stage where they are “do(ing) the best they can until (they) know better.” And of course the leader’s goal–as in the quote–is to “know better (in order to) do better.” Then when you know better, do better.”Īs we mentioned in a previous blog post, leaders in smaller or early stage organizations tend to operate by touch and instinct-rather than by process–then with growth and the addition of more people, the leader can no longer be involved in every decision and initiative. ![]() “Do the best you can until you know better.
