Perfect365 best face makeup online12/27/2023 Did NOT enter any payment info, simply clicked to complete order Entered name, email & other info at next screen Entered the coupon code as also indicated in #69, then with total changed to $0.00 USD, I clicked to proceed I used the link suggested in comment #69. GOTD really needs some "pretesters" to try things out in advance and try to avoid the craziness of the past few days!!! Save | Cancel The previous giveaway, Diskboss Pro also took a long time, 30 minutes of entering codes, installs, removals and more installs, and I never did get anywhere with it. Too bad that the GUI is so UNintuitive, and the installation and registration process is so complicated that, instead of the usual seconds it takes me for a typical GOTD installation & registration, this took hours. GOTD really needs some "pretesters" to try things out in advance and try to avoid the craziness of the past few days!!!Īs for what it does, this is a nice program. Hopefully, those who installed this will still get a chance to upgrade their initial GOTD version to the full version.Īs for what it does, this is a nice program. It's well past the end of the Giveaway time, and I've spent more than THREE HOURS trying to figure all of this out. Once to install the program, then this second time to upgrade. In this area, it may be possible to get the additional templates too (see comment 89 and others). If the link doesn't appear to work (as for me first time), then be SURE you are online I was off), then restart the program and click the i. Enter the coupon code GOTDFREE14, then enter your email address. Save | Cancelįubar is right! You can UPGRADE to the FULL VERSION afterinstalling the initial version by using coupon code GOTDFREE14 for a second time.Īfter installing and activating the program, look at the very TOP CENTER center for an i symbol, and click on it!!! Then, a box should appear. BTW, portrait professional gets REAL QUIRKY some times. All cut, but the latter requires increasing attention and skill. It is kind of like the difference between a butter knife (Arc365) and a steak knife (portrait pro 6), verses a scalpel (Photoshop). (as we all know), but for someone with little expedience, it is great. It will NOT replace Photoshop/gimp/paint etc. (6) Didn't get a chance to see if your work is only saved in one resolution (someone said only 800圆00, someone else said that wasn't true). (5) Who ever said you couldn't use the program without the internet was WRONG! (You can't see the help files w/o it though.) (4) Could never really get a good result with the eye color feature. Had to change my display settings to see every thing. It wouldn't let me use the arrows on the corner to size it down. (3) I had difficulty sizing the work space. Almost like a "raccoon effect" with softening the skin from the lower eyes to the upper cheek bone area. (2) There seems to be no control of the area under the eyes that are smoothed out by the program. (1) My main complaint is that it has blemish tool, but no healing tool to take out major flaws like pimples. It is quicker and simpler to use but less of basic features. My review compares with portrait professional (6?) from gotd last year. For those that didn't have any problems, that's fine, but without forewarning, it IS challenging. Loaded on my xp(desktop) & w7(laptop) fine, but the registration was a little quirky, and I may have been lost as well if I had not read the many comments/solutions.

The escapists crafting recipes xbox one12/27/2023 The prison has designated exercise times, but you can accelerate your learning by training in your free time as well. Prison jobs also have different stat requirements. You’ll need Strength if you plan on fighting and guards (or prisoners), Fitness if you want to keep Stamina levels up when doing things like digging, and Intellect in order to craft more complex items. A main priority on all levels should be raising your stats to more acceptable levels. You probably won’t be getting anywhere if you’re too feeble and dumb. It’ll trigger an immediate five star lock-down.Īny period of time in The Escapists 2 where you don’t have to be following the routine is time you can spend getting up to mischief and planning your escape. Don’t skip Roll Call unless you absolutely have to (ie you’re literally about to escape). Missing an activity entirely will have repercussions, depending on how crucial the activity is. If your absence is causing a problem, nearby guards will make it clear and your ‘Heat’ meter (the one below Health and Stamina) will increase. This can give you a pretty decent head-start on doing something else. A green check mark next to the activity confirms that you’ve done it. You can show up for, say, dinner and leave almost straight away if you like (assuming you don’t need the stamina boost from the food). It’s worth knowing that for all these activities, the guards just need to see your face. Early on, stick to where you need to be and learn the prison layout. The daily routine includes multiple roll-calls, lunch periods, time set aside for prison jobs, working out, and (all too infrequent) free periods. Prison life follows a routine set by the guards and warden. This article is focused on single player, but the information within can be pretty universally applied to co-op mode too. The Escapists 2 can be pretty open-ended, so it’s useful to get an idea of how the game is structured and how its mechanics work. Instead, this piece will give beginners a solid foundation of knowledge from which to plan their own acts of escapology. Firstly, because I haven’t actually achieved that yet, and, secondly, because there are a whole lot of ways to escape in this game. This is not going to be a step-by-step walkthrough of each individual level. Veterans of the Escapists prison yard shouldn’t have many problems adapting to The Escapists 2, but if you’re in Mouldy Toof’s jails for the first time you may want a bit of guidance.

Zoom video quality12/27/2023 From the very beginning, Zoom was engineered to be cloud-native and optimized for video. Zoom can support increased video participation capacity without degradation in quality because we’re the only service built from the ground up for video. Further, such an increase is made possible in the way the Zoom platform is engineered, and we wanted to share more about how Zoom’s architecture is able to support increased video capacity with ease. (Think about how well your home wi-fi network would stand up if everyone in the house started streaming video on multiple devices at the same time.)Īt Zoom, we are committed to supporting our great customers, and we want to ensure that our Business subscribers have all the video capacity and quality they need for their important meetings. That’s because on traditionally architected communications platforms, meeting attendees tend to experience a drop in quality as more people join via video. The fact is, there are communications services that may of fer high m eeting capacities, but the fine print often tells a different story when it comes to how many can participate using video. Increasing capacity from 100 to 300 video participants for Business subscribers ensures more people can reliably participate in your Zoom video-enabled meetings. As part of the latest platform update, Zoom customers with Business subscriptions can enjoy three times as many video participants in their meetings at no additional cost - and without doing a thing. If you have adjustable color temperature lights, you should change the temperature of the lights to what you want first and then set your white balance.Zoom is excited to announce an increase in our Business users’ base capacity for video meetings. Set it to manual and try to move the slider so that it looks how you see it in real life. Auto settings are a nightmare to deal with when editing because different parts of your video will be radically different colors even if you’re sitting in the same spot. White balance will determine if the whites if your image look more blue or orange. I also tend to leave the actual “brightness” setting alone as it’s really just a crude levels too in most Logitech webcams. Keep gain and ISO down as much as possible. Tick this up as high as you can without the frame rate dropping or the colors getting washed out. Increasing it will immediately make your image look brighter. The three settings to focus on at the start are exposure, ISO/gain, and white balance.Įxposure is how long the camera lets in light before producing an image. I have a quick OBS settings guide on this site to get you started, but here’s the short of it. Autofocus is the only setting that might require some experience with before you take it off. Whether you’re using the settings on your handheld camera or in streaming software like OBS, ditch as many automatic settings as you can. This is something you can fix in a few minutes with some basic tweaks. To use your webcam with these improved settings in Zoom or other streaming software, here’s my guide.Įven when your light is on point, automatic webcam settings don’t produce the greatest results. I’ll be demonstrating these settings in OBS. Manually adjust your exposure, white balance and ISO/gain values.

Far cry primal xbox 360 gameplay12/27/2023 So think about a world made by the people behind The Terminator, Predator, and Rambo, and RoboCop among many others. You see, it's the 2007 as imagined by the directors of 1980s action movies. The game is set in 2007, but the 2007 of the game is pretty different than the 2007 you and I know. Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon (Dystopian 2007) Far Cry 3 Blood Dragonįar Cry 3: Blood Dragon is another stand-alone DLC to the main series. However, you do get a proper feel of the Vietnam war in those two hours. Being an expansion, Hours of Darkness is much smaller than the main series game and the main story lasts less than 2 hours. While there is a whole load of new weapons, the DLC is focused heavily on stealth. Leaving the politics of the war aside, you'll step into the role of 'Gun for Hire' assisting American troops. Hours of Darkness is a stand-alone DLC for Far Cry 5 that takes you back to the Viet-Cong. Hours of Darkness (1960s- 70s) Far Cry Hours of Darkness But today, it's safe to say that Ubisoft nailed down that adventure. The announcement of Far Cry Primal was met with a lot of scepticism as one of the core components of the series, the guns, were removed. Not only wolfs, but bears, sabre-tooths, badgers and more were a part of the package. The best part about Primal was the ability to tame animals, so every 12 years old's hidden desire to tame and ride a wolf was finally realised. Ubisoft even went the extra mile to create a completely new language with a team of experts linguists to complete the aura of the Mesolithic age. The AKs were replaced by bow and arrows and goons were replaced by sabre tooths and such. Set in the stone age, players dawned on the role of Mesolithic hunter fighting to survive against nature. Primal changed all that, even if it was just for one game. Previously, the protagonist was almost always some kind of outlaw badass gunslinger. Released rather recently (2016), Far Cry Primal redefined what a Far Cry game could be.

Need for speed carbon12/27/2023 The Voiceless: The player doesn't speak at all.Villain Protagonist: Obviously, like in Most Wanted, the player is a street racer, and street racing is illegal.A Taste of Power: Like in Most Wanted (2005), you still get to try your hands in the BMW M3 GTR, before having to start off with the three starter cars.Taking Over the Town: The player must form a crew and work all their way through to take control of all the four boroughs of Palmont City.Player Character: Well, duh! He is the player with whom you play the game.No-Respect Guy: Loses their respect from his ex-crew Stacked Deck, and the bosses of the other crews, after returning to Palmont City.No Name Given: Again, they're simply the player.note It is known that a cutscene was filmed in which Nikki would challenge the player to a friendly race in a way that made it more clear that they would indeed rekindle their relationship, but it ended up being a invoked Deleted Scene. Maybe Ever After: It's stated that the player and Nikki were in a relationship in the past, but the game's rather abrupt ending leaves it in the air whether they'll rekindle their relationship or not.The Leader: As part of the game's plot of controlling all the four boroughs of Palmont City, which are controlled by street racing crews, the player is the leader of their own crew.Their face is also partially seen (uncensored) on a rear view mirror in the beginning. Like in Most Wanted (2005) though, in the ending you can see a clear image of the player from behind, standing alongside Nikki. During the busted cutscenes, they do have a face, but censored out. Experienced Protagonist: It is revealed in this game that the player already has a great amount of experience back in Palmont City before leaving for Rockport with their flashy M3 GTR.Dark and Troubled Past: It's revealed in flashbacks (first shown in the prologue and later on through the game) that years ago the player participated in a race against the other crew leaders of Palmont that ended up being ambushed by the police, and the fact that he was the only racer who escaped (while carrying the bag of prize money, although it's revealed that he was given another bag containing only paper) put in a negative impact to the other crews.Cutscene Incompetence: You could actually handle yourself pretty well during the chase with Cross in the intro, and yet the following cutscene will still have your character crash the M3 GTR, totaling it.Shame it was totaled for good while escaping from Cross. Cool Car: As always, the player is still seen rolling in their iconic M3 GTR through the canyons of Palmont City in the prologue.Badass Driver: Despite all the bad reputation from returning to Palmont, they still manage to take on all of the 4 crews and the boroughs and eventually become the ruler of the city.And even represents as the crew's leader! Badass Crew: The player has a crew with the best drivers around the Palmont City.Just like the previous game, their gender is revealed to be a male, which is justified by the target market for Need for Speed games. The player character is ostensibly the same one as the one in Most Wanted (2005) for tropes pertaining to the player character in said game, see here. Aided by their associate Darius and their former girlfriend Nikki, the player tries to clear their name. Following the events of Most Wanted (2005), after getting their BMW back and becoming The Most Wanted, they returned to their old hometown, Palmont City, where it's revealed that the player got a bad rep from a past fateful race.

Speedcrunch.12/26/2023 In this regard, it is an excellent alternative to WolframAlpha, where it is a paid feature. Not only will this solve the problem, but users also get detailed steps for studying. Users have to visit the website, select the appropriate category, choose the right formula, enter the variables, and click Go. Outside of pure mathematics, Symbolab Math Solver also offers solutions in chemistry, physics, and finance. Its array of mathematical topics covers trigonometry, geometry, pre-calculus and calculus, pre-algebra and algebra, and statistics. The Israeli-built program is also an answer engine that offers step-by-step solutions to high school and college-level math problems. But along with WolframAlpha, Symbolab has emerged as one of the leaders in the industry. It is a distinct advantage over WolframAlpha, where queries are executed one at a time. If the formula you need is not among the preset options, fxSolver allows you to create it.Īlso, it is possible to calculate multiple equations at once and share the results with friends. There is also a category for standard formulas in exams.īesides categorizing each formula, there is also a search box to search for a specific formula. They include aerospace engineering, civil engineering, computer science, biology, and more. There are multiple formulas for different subjects that users can browse through by category. The formula library is impressive for a free tool, covering high school calculus to professional-level calculations. Simply add a formula, input the variables, and click Solve. The web-based program comes with several mathematical features, including a graphing calculator and an equation library. Its most significant advantage over WolframAlpha is that it is free. fxSolverįxSolver is a science and engineering problem solver designed by engineers and programmers to provide algebraic equation solutions to netizens. Still, a couple of them are helpful substitutes to other WolframAlpha purposes like learning aid or direct answers to complex queries.įinal Thoughts Best WolframAlpha Alternatives 1.

If you are on the free version, you are stuck with whatever standard form is available.Īdditionally, its natural language processing remains a work in progress, making it frustrating to use unless your queries are structurally in the right way. So also is the ability to edit a formula. And while you can get a lot of mileage out of the free version, the step-by-step explanation feature is only available to Pro users. Indeed, not everyone can afford it or wants to pay for it. With such capabilities, it is no surprise that it has a lot of fans. WolframAlpha returns accurate answers and offers step-by-step explanations on how it arrived at them. It is the go-to tool for high school, college students, and professionals for solving mathematical problems and getting specific answers to complex questions. “How many baseballs fit in a Boeing 747?” is a search query anyone can input into WolframAlpha and receive a detailed result in return.įun calculations like this are one of several capabilities that have made the answer engine the beloved of knowledge nerds worldwide.

Drupal 8 aliasmanager example12/26/2023 cacheNeedsWriting defaults to FALSE, no need to set it to FALSE then when loading from cache. Ok, this should be a much better and has a ton of unit test coverage :) Why are we preloading only in getAliasByPath()? Wouldn't also getPathByAlias() benefit from preloaded mappings? - I suspect that we want to prevent preloading SQL queries in case only one "path from alias" is needed (for current url/page). Why we cache only paths (as also mentioned by It seems that we could cache entire path-alias mapping instead of preloading it fro DB.Ģ. I was asking myself two cache-related questions when working on this:ġ. $this->preloadPathLookups($cached_paths) key to the alias manager for use in subsequent lookups. +++ -1,128 +0,0 // We need to pass on the list of previously cached system paths for this one thing that is definitely broken ATM is this (wrong CID being used to load from cache - $path instead of $this->cacheKey). So we can probably just remove that and use $this->lookupMap and $this->noAlias directly in writeCache() ? That said, merging this seems to make a lot of sense and it can go even further, the cache write method still uses getPathLookups(), which is a public method on the interface, the only reason for that seems to be that the cache wrapper can do the caching? The method is very limited, because it is not possible to solve the problems above while still using it as it has no understanding of language and if an alias existed. This might not be the correct issue, but with all the refactoring, we could possibly fix at least some of the issues here? What about caching the alias hits and misses separately in the cache, so that we don't have to attempt to load the alias for them? Why are we not caching the aliases btw, should be possible to do that by language? this seems to be because there are no aliases, so they're added to noAlias, which isn't added to the cache. I was displayed 100 of them in a view and I have 100 queries due to that right now.Īnd even after changing them to en, caching still doesn't seem to be working, because it never ends up in the cache. In my case, I was importing nodes with langcode not specificed (und), they now explicitly pass along the language context. Looks like the AliasManager right now can only write back caches of a single language, the first in the lookup map? We assume that aliases will be needed for the majority of these paths during subsequent requests, and load them in a single query during path alias lookup.Noticed during profiling that something is going wrong right now with alias caching and languages.

Ancestors humankind odyssey12/26/2023 Otherwise, it’s just forcing your players through irritating busywork so that they can come to understand just how clever you think your design is. Trial and error is an excellent way of teaching your players how to play your game so long as the process of it, and the intervening gameplay, are enjoyable. Moments like this happen again, and again, and none of it is fun - not a single moment. Expectations like this lead to things such as eating familiar fruit from the same bush that’s perfectly safe one moment and then inexplicably poisons you the next. That is, of course, except for those occasional moments where you’re supposed to inspect something you already have before. You can inspect things to gain familiarity with them and enhance your understanding of the world however, you’re generally trained to do this once and no more. You try to refill them by resting or eating, drinking water and so on, but those aren’t guarantees of fixing the problem and will sometimes even harm you. These will shrink and disappear at varying rates according to what the game decides they should, not how you’d expect from your time playing the game. Your stamina, health, and what I assume is a general capacity to perform tasks are all on just the one meter, represented in three concentric, coloured circles. That’s not unusual for games in the survival genre, but there is so much information you’re meant to understand from a handful of extremely unhelpful visual cues. There’s a lot of showing without telling going on, with the player expected to figure everything out, in ways that aren’t entirely consistent with one another. The points themselves, of course, are shown as an amorphous ball of light without numerical value, and no way of knowing if it’s enough to unlock things until you just can. It’s only when you try to access those traits, however, that the game drops the hint that you need to be carrying children around to generate those much-needed experience points. You learn by repeatedly performing the same tasks, or viewing new territory, accruing experience to unlock new genetic traits. Or, more accurately, when you figure out that you need to trigger that transition yourself by stuffing around in the evolution menu for awhile. Impregnation and gestation happen simultaneously and instantly, with birth occurring immediately after (if you so choose.) Your little ape children seem to remain indefinitely as infants, however, until you decide to progress the timeline onto the next generation. Mating is brief and full of awkward hooting. Think of the most annoying tropes that survival games are known for, and Ancestors either has them or has found new annoying twists to add onto old “classics.” The game picks and chooses in a curiously selective way what you have to act out, and what gets glossed over to save time. It would be less confusing to have Yoda sitting on your shoulder the entire time whispering incorrect Confucian sayings. Not giving you direct objectives would be one thing but the cryptic drivel that passes for tutorials and hints on simple things, like how to get around and use basic mechanics, is completely maddening. While that’s a novel idea, the deliberate vagueness is a massive source of frustration. It’s meant to mirror early humans’ struggles with a lack of direction about how to survive. You’ll be dropped into the thick of things right from the beginning, but the gameplay is far from intuitive, and the different systems absolutely need some explaining. One of the first few lines of the opening cinematic writes, “We won’t help you very much,” and that is not a lie. “Representative” is the keyword here, however, and it takes that concept a little too far. It’s meant to be representative of humanity’s evolutionary journey. Instead, the game is too caught up in its smugness, forcing the players into an experience I’m sure it thinks is clever and thematic but comes across more as distracted, under-developed, and all-around frustrating.Īncestors is a confusing game by design, and there’s a certain logic to that. Unfortunately, Ancestors is none of those things. I’m not usually a fan of survival games in general, but, done right, it could be a unique and fulfilling, perhaps even educational experience to play. The evolution of man from the earliest apes through to proto-humans and beyond is turned into a survival game, informed by data gleaned from scientific discovery and research. The general concept behind Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey is a good one. |
