Then I found a torch outside! There are lots of these little gleeful moments of discovery and delight.īut possibly the other thing that felt kind of off about The Skywalker Saga is that it's just kind of a third-person shooter now, and this is most evident in the story. Another desert cave had a Kyber Brick inside, but it was too dark to see inside. A little robot wanted protection from Jawas as it travelled over the desert, and at the end it opened a secret cave door with a new minifig unlock. Some dudes had found an abandoned house but it was locked - the key must be nearby! So I explored and found the key. It was just fun leaping around and riding on improbably large alien beasties and finding secrets. It's maybe a sad indictment of how jaded I feel about Star Wars in general these days, but I enjoyed the hub areas way more than the story levels. There are crates and crates of it around his home, and his first cinematic treats it like the blue milk is some kind of shameful secret, like really niche porn. My favourite retcon in The Skywalker Saga is that Luke fucking loves blue milk and always has. Jedi have a bunch of mind trick stuff they can do, for example. That's cool! And there are very many more of these that I didn't get to play around with. You need a force user to levitate stuff (and to score in that football game), Luke can dress as a Stormtrooper, and - my favourite - some aliens have side missions for you but you can't speak to them unless you're controlling a protocol droid. As well as the hidden Minikits that add up to new vehicles, every level has Kyber Bricks that you can use as a currency to upgrade character abilities to have longer or greater effects. I found a weird little camp suggesting there was a stowaway on the rebel ship, and in the desert of Tattooine there were a couple of Jawas who'd set up a football game. The levels also have nooks and crannies that reward exploration with jokes or collectibles. This also dings an achievement for doing a unique thing hidden in the level, each level having three. The latter allows you to waste the guys, and the former opens up a side path so you can sneak by and then open an airlock (to also waste the guys). The Skywalker Saga levels have multiple routes - for example, in one bit Leia finds a corridor full of Stormtroopers, and can choose to build a fire extinguisher or a turret gun. The earlier movies have been totally remade, and there are more visual gags, more character-specific powers to solve puzzles with, and more collectibles. The first thing you notice is that the game is now very shiny and very high def compared to the older Lego games of yore. In short, it felt like the best version of the Lego games you loved when you were younger. These were the desert around the farm, and Mos Eisley itself. I did the whole bit on the rebel ship where Leia records her message for Obi Wan and wellies Artoo and Threepio down to Tatooine, then a bunch of side missions on the planet, before running around the hub areas. I still kind of think of Episode IV as Episode I, to be honest, but it's the one from the 70s - you know, with Luke all on the moisture farm hearing the call for adventure and the Mos Eisley cantina and that.

Photosweeper vs photosweeper lite5/18/2023 You won't regret downloading this one.Įditors' note: This is a review of the trial version of PhotoSweeper for Mac 1.9.4. The app comes at a cost, but its great interface and good integration with the OS and other apps fully justify it. If you have a large photo library that contains many similar images, using a comparison tool like PhotoSweeper for Mac will help you reduce the number of photos and hence regain disk space. In case of close matches, the app allows you to compare the images side by side. Here we had a 100 percent success rate with finding the duplicates. After the comparison you are taken to the Results page where the app suggests duplicate photos for deletion. The app is speedy, taking 23 seconds to analyze 100 images using a bitmap comparison method and the highest match setting. From the side pane you can either view additional info about the images or choose and adjust one of six comparison methods. If you have a folder with images instead, you can drag and drop it directly into the main window. When started, PhotoSweeper for Mac presents you with a few tips on using the software and then reveals a media browser window where you can drop iPhoto, Aperture, or Lightroom photo libraries. Another noteworthy feature is the integration with professional photo editors like iPhoto, Aperture, and Adobe Lightroom. This premium product comes with a demo version and features several image comparison methods with adjustable settings, as well as a beautiful user interface that makes it a joy to use. Poor integration with iPhoto presents problems, but if you have photos on a separate disc or export them from iPhoto, making a college is a snap and sharing them is even easier.PhotoSweeper for Mac finds identical and highly similar photos and marks them for deletion. Overall, CollageIt is a tidy piece of software that does exactly as advertised, offering quick and easy collage creation on the Mac to supplement the many features of iPhoto. But don't let that stop you because we found everything else intact. Very simple.ĬollageIt is shareware the lite version has some limitations on file size and commercial use. Simply finding the photos needed to create a collage can present a challenge, but if you do have those photos, creating collage takes only seconds and you can share on Facebook, resize with ease, and export in one of six formats, including PDF and wallpaper. Unfortunately, most Mac users store their photos in the iPhoto Library, which is not an option when selecting photos for your collage. If you only intend to work on your photos, this is an affordable option as more advanced duplicate finders that compare different kinds of files generally cost around US30. CollageIt is designed for one purpose, and if you have photos available it does it very well. If you decide that PhotoSweeper can help you in managing your duplicates, then you can go for the paid version with full features that costs US9.99. A collage-making program doesn't need dozens of buttons and PearlMountain understands that. We were impressed with the uncluttered layout. With minimal buttons and very clearly labeled Share on Facebook and Print buttons, it doesn't get any easier to prepare your collage. You can either choose where each photo will be placed or hit the Random Layout or Shuffle buttons to mix it up. Choose a format for your collage, drag and drop photos into the various slots on the collage, and save. It takes only seconds to install and, once ready to use, CollageIt is immediately intuitive. However, CollageIt manages to find a niche for itself by offering a simple, straightforward tool to create collages from your existing photos. The demand for applications that manipulate or arrange photos is relatively low on the Mac platform because Apple's built-in photo software is so robust.

Prophase labs5/18/2023 The total reflects the number of confirmed cases known to the county health department, which leaves out cases known to individuals who tested at home and did not report their case, or possible cases among people who have been unable to find a test. That’s not only more than twice the county’s high total for any day prior to the current surge (2,576), but it’s also more than likely an undercount. The first day of 2022 saw 5,491 active cases in Dutchess. "But the problem with Tuesday's specimens in particular was not because our lab was overwhelmed because we’ve actually started to get caught up." 28 and after 72 hours without results, he called the lab and was told the lab had not received anything from Dutchess in a week.įor people whose test results were delayed, "we apologize for that - even if we aren't directly responsible, obviously everyone is going to look at the lab," Karkus said. Jason Betley commented that he was tested on Dec. Some people posted comments on the county's Facebook page about the issue. "We don’t know logistically how it happened, whether it was an issue with the courier or they were picked up or whatever it was," Karkus said, adding that "what happened with Tuesday was a logistical mistake likely made by our courier," something the lab didn't have control over, "but we’re going to make sure it doesn't happen again.” 27 came to the lab with samples that were taken on Friday. 28 specimens, "a good percentage of the people that were tested on Tuesday actually got their results in a timely fashion." But, he said, ProPhase believes - it is still looking into it - some of the specimens tested on Dec. Those companies work with couriers to send the specimens to the lab, Karkus said. Karkus said ProPhase doesn't collect specimens, it works with a half-dozen specimen-collection companies that do the testing. Transparency: Our pledge to pursue public records relevant to our readers

Ps5 versions5/18/2023 Just be sure to set a little bit of time aside, as the next-gen update version 1.5 is a hefty 50GB download. On PlayStation 5, players can expect a 60 FPS performance, use of additional rendering and lighting technology, as well as more detailed. All you need to do is look for the PS5 edition, then either install the game or update your copy. The PS5 pushes those limits past the PS4s boundaries. You can upgrade Cyberpunk 2077 from the PS4 version to the PS5 version through the Game Library. While the team note that the all versions of Gotham Knights perform better. This is one of the odd quirks of living in between console generations. The folks at Digital Foundry have put the latest patch for Gotham Knights through its paces on PS5 and Xbox Series X. The confusing bit is that both editions technically run on the PS5. PS4 labels are white-on-black, while PS5 labels are black-on-white.Īs promised by the developers, ownership of the game grants you access to both versions for free. If you ever have trouble distinguishing between the two, look for the platform labels. The key difference is to make sure you install the one optimized for the PlayStation 5. Sony has just released an update for its latest gaming console, the PlayStation 5. From there you’ll be able to manually upgrade from the PS4 to the PS5 edition.īasically, as long as you own Cyberpunk 2077, your PS5 will allow you to select between the two versions. Highlight Cyberpunk 2077 from the main screen, open the extra options menu, then select the View Product option. As per the Insider Gaming report, the PS5 Pro is targeting a late 2024 launch, which will be four years on from the console’s original launch in November 2020. If you already have the PS4 version installed, or if you have the game disk inserted, you can take another route. The motherboard is basically the control room of the controller, this is where everything leads and this is where all the input is processed. I find it a lot easier to score on drop back users on the PS5 because I can play precise passing movements in the final third. People still drop back on the PS5, but the animations and gameplay on the PS5 seem to really help in a tiki-taka gameplay. The difference between the two is in the controllers motherboard. The PS4 version feels exactly the same as FIFA 21, so its allllllll drop backs and through balls. Here you can find a lot of PS5 stuff on Amazon. The PS5 version 7 update comes in at around 1.1GB The integration does not include text messages, ability to browse servers Players can now start or request screen sharing on their PS5 Sony has rolled out a new PS5 update bringing Discord integration and support for variable refresh rate (VRR) at 1440p resolution. The Sony PS5 controller is available in two different generations, the BDM-010 and the BDM-020.499 at Amazon 499 at Best Buy 499 at GameStop PlayStation 5 Digital Edition The cheapest PS5. The detachable disc drive is also supposed to be available for purchase separately afterward. The standard PS5 is the way to go if you want a disc drive for physical games and 4K Blu-rays. without a disc drive, or in a bundle, with a disc drive. Allegedly, the "PS5 Slim" will be available for purchase as soon as it is available, either individually, i.e. With the new design, Sony wants to reduce the weight and size of the PS5 in order to save on shipping costs, but also on production costs. Disc Drive likely won't be compatible with the current digital version - Tom Henderson January 13, 2023 Doesn't seem like there are any major hardware changes from the original console. Henderson also says that the new PS5 version won't get any major hardware updates and the detachable disc drive probably won't be compatible with the current digital edition of the PS5: A full spec list for the PlayStation 5 has been revealed first at Digital Foundry. According to leaker Tom Henderson, production of the current PS5 is scheduled to cease in October 2023, while the new "PS5 Slim" version is scheduled to go into production in April 2023 and go on sale in September 2023. PlayStation 5 s full specs list has been revealed. UI can be customized to Destiny 2 players upgrading to the PS5 version should see a. It could potentially even replace the current version of the PS5. Includes Lightfall, you can game on a PS5 with ultrawide monitors. According to the leaks, this could be some kind of PS5 Slim rather than a PS5 Pro. In the meantime, however, they already seem to be working on an even lighter PS5 version that has an external, detachable disc drive and is internally referred to as chassis D. Sony has been trying to reduce the weight and size of the PS5 for a while now, which has so far resulted in the B and C chassis.

Spotifree app for iphone5/18/2023 Sharing is caringĪnd then, we come to Spotify’s social features. 5 million more tracks in an ocean of 75 million is inconsequential, especially when Spotify does a far better job of exposing users to its 70 million-strong library.Īgain, this is not intended as a slight at the quality of Apple Music as a service – I’ve used both, and it is a great platform – but rather a defence of a competing service which gets unfair flack based on meaningless library stats. This is the main reason that the ‘Apple Music has more songs’ boat doesn't really float with me. enlist the services of real people when curating discovery playlists for their platform, but Spotify has managed to crack that nut through an impressive sequence of code which delivers a welcome surprise nine out of 10 times. The point being, I’m all for discovering emerging artists as long as their music doesn’t sound amateurish, and Spotify does a great job of sourcing tracks that never sound out of place in my tracklist.Īpple Music, for all its exclusive creator and curator partnerships, can’t get close to Spotify’s algorithm-based approach to song recommendations. Now, I’ve got alerts on for all his new releases. Have you ever heard of Tom The Mail Man? Neither had I, until Spotify sneakily added his tracks – which at the time were recorded in his friend’s bedroom – into my Discover Weekly playlist. Spotify’s ability to make me listen to and care about artists I otherwise wouldn’t bat an eyelid towards is quite remarkable. That metric isn’t quantifiable as a figure, but Spotify’s ability to make me listen to and care about artists I otherwise wouldn’t bat an eyelid towards is quite remarkable. Yes, Apple Music has a bigger track library – but what’s a few million here or there? The more important metric is one that measures just how much of that library is made accessible to the user in a way that isn’t shoehorned into view like old stock in a shop window. There’s little doubt that using Apple Music has become a much improved experience since its iOS 14 update, but it still suffers from a blocky and convoluted menu system so unbecoming of a brand that’s famously design-led in its thinking. Spotify was founded in Stockholm, and its app embraces the simple, clean and cheerful philosophy that is so emblematic of Scandinavian design – think IKEA and Volvo, but for music.

Gradius rebirth vgmdb5/18/2023 There are a few clever areas too, particularly the area before the second level boss. There’s also a Score Attack mode which challenges you to beat the whole game in one sitting. In the regular arcade mode, you’re allowed infinite credits and can restart the game any time at any checkpoint, much like the PS2 ports of Gradius III and IV and Gradius Galaxies. It manages to provide a better difficulty balance than any of the original arcade games, especially on the lower settings, where extra power orbs are provided after respawning. At least there are a handful of brief, hidden stages, as well as multiple endings, and the levels actually change after each loop.īut for all of the complaints regarding its lack of innovation, Gradius Rebirth is still an extremely well-designed game. Its biggest issue is that it’s only five stages long – the game ends right as it’s picking up its groove, although perhaps one can’t expect too much for a low-priced downloadable game. These are all loosely based on the levels from the first Game Boy game. There’s another biological level a la Life Force, a Moai stage, a desert level (with black platforms seemingly ripped from the HR Giger-inspired level of Gradius II), and the requisite final mechanical base stage. It’s not nearly as cool as the black hole from Gradius Gaiden, but it’s still a pretty neat concept. There’s another replica of the first level of Gradius, except you can destroy a control panel which either turns the scenery snow white or sets it ablaze with fire. The opportunity to make an “old” game might come off as a bit cheap, and a step backwards.Īnd yes, on some levels it feels a bit uninspired, although it occasionally puts some twists on them. On the other hand, most people consider Gradius Gaiden the pinnacle of that series, at least in the classical sense, not considering the direction that Gradius V took. This sort of retro styled design worked for Mega Man 9, since most classic fans agree the series peaked around the second or third NES game. There are some additional effects that weren’t present in games of the era, like sprite rotation. Gradius Rebirth is designed to look and sound like a late ‘80s or early ‘90s Konami arcade title, circa Gradius II. Plus, Gradius IV was already subtitled “Fukkatsu”, which basically means the same thing.Īt least that had the updated graphics going for it. One might be tempted to call it “Gradius Rehash”, since much of it is based off of recycled elements from previous games, even moreso than usual for the Rebirth line. Gradius Rebirth, released as a WiiWare title in 2008, is somewhat of an inappropriate name.

The solution is basically mapping a "download corresponding image" function over the array shown above, replacing 404s with black/white placeholders, and then assembling the whole thing to a large composite. If you really want to download the whole thing on your own, you'll have to write the explicit code yourself. I don't want hundreds of people sending 3280 requests to XKCD, therefore I'll stop here. I may have the table order at some point, but some trial and error could fix that. YPad = 0 (* Number of extra tiles to cache above and below for perfomance. XPad = 0 (* Number of extra tiles to cache to the right and left for perfomance. YRad = 1 (* Number of tiles to add above and below the center tile. xRad = 2 (* Number of tiles to add to the right and left of the center tile. Panning and zooming into previously visited spots are pretty snappy since we cache the tile URLs. The first load takes a bit and zooming out takes a bit. We can use Dynamic to set up a little pan-and-zoom explorer. The performance can be dramatically improved using V9's URLFetchAsynchronous, as now shown below.įortunately, we needn't download all the tiles at once. This was originally answered on using V8. This makes acquisition easier than I anticipated, and shifts the emphasis of this question to the second and third points. Not long after posting I realized that the tiles are stored as PNG files with names that describe the location. In fairness people may ask "what have you tried" and I must say: nothing. Is it possible to navigate the image from within Mathematica? How can it be assembled and stored? This will surely be a tremendously large image what data formats does Mathematica support that can handle it? How can I use Mathematica to download the entire scrollable drawing? Now I want to see all the comic but I don't want to give myself RSI in the process. How large? I don't know, but I spent about half and hour exploring it before my arm wore out. And if you do that, you start exploring a larger drawing. Inspired by the recent question about xkcd styled plots I started looking at xkcd again and I came across a comic titled Click and Drag.

Spirit of the north xbox one5/17/2023 Knowing all of this will make clean up on the game’s collectibles easier. The game also lets you know at the chapter select screen how many shamans the player has saved out of the total and autosaves after each shaman. There is chapter select and the game will let you know if you’ve missed one with the tracker popping up when a shaman has been reunited with their staff. The staffs when being held by the fox (in the fox’s mouth) will crackle when nearing the remains. The shamans throughout the story require their staff to free their spirits and some are hidden extremely well. The glorious purpose of our playable red fox is to help the guardian back to the peak and rid the land of the plague that devastated a lost civilization. The sky is filled with this Red plague in streams travelling to the source, a mountain peak. With one spirit missing, the world has fallen to some red plague that has spread throughout the land. The two guardians act as Yin and Yang and both are required to find balance in the world and emit the Northern Lights. There is a blue form of the guardian and there is another red form, during my initial playthrough I thought the red guardian would be the villain, but I was wrong. The guardian helps guide the player and moves ice walls around when our fox barks with the use of ‘B.’ After the first chapter and being introduced to our new friend, the game uses written text on stones to deliver the story of what went wrong in this sickly land. The gameplay starts out slowly with the red fox exploring the abandoned region and discovering the Guardian Spirit. There are a total of 28 shaman to be saved across the eight chapters with the core amount of gameplay being in Chapter 4 and 5. The gameplay for Spirit of the North: Enhanced Edition is filled with exploring Iceland on a linear pathway and saving fallen shaman. This third person adventure title plays partly as a puzzle platformer and primarily a relaxing journey. Most, not all, abilities are a onetime use and must be recharged by blue flowers, Spirit Blooms, scattered around the explorable map. The Guardian is a blue wisp, or spirit, that allows our small red fox to become filled with power and can use special abilities while charged with energy. The player controls a red fox who becomes entangled with the Guardian of the Northern Lights, a female spirit. Being set in the Nordic region, the game follows suit with the font choice and with use of some Nordic folklore. Developed by Infuse studio and published by Merge Games, Spirit of the North: Enhanced Edition originally released for PlayStation and Steam in November of 2019.
