I’d get rid of the fumbling with crossovers, til players get around 5% fatigue or less.Īt the end of game 7 in Houston, if KD gets Capela switched on him, even though KD’s super tired, his adrenaline will kick in and he’s going to work on him, giving him 6-7 crossovers, perfectly fine. That’s KD’s and PG’s patented moves and I can’t make 7 footers switched on me PAY, because I can’t do that move. When they do get tired enough, it shouldn’t be til 10+ consecutive crossovers where they’d just drop it. They usually can’t do more than 2 consecutive crossovers without fumbling it. It starts happening with A LOT of players when they get around 90% or under 90% fatigue. KD constantly fumbles the ball when I try doing his patented wide crossover move (while holding rt, hold right stick left til he brings it all the way left, then hold the right stick right all the way until he brings it all the way that way, then all the way left again, etc, etc). Hello! I just got Live 19 two nights ago, and this post is about a big issue in the game, that wasn’t present at all in 18. It makes browsing the crates super frustrating bc you have to scroll from no. 20 down on the list and going back to the crate menu, that the cursor jettisons back to the first crate. The game’s a blast.Įdit: ps it’s annoying when purchasing crates that after clicking on a crate that’s say no. It’s been great playing these past several days. It’s not a huge issue, but I find it messes with the game experience bc I remember the crowd’s not really watching me.ītw, thanks so much for an early copy of the game. I’m sure there are other scenarios, but those are the ones that happened to me most recently. Like, in court battles when you’re playing with a rule set that vastly prioritizes dunks to 3 pointers and someone in the crowd yells, “Don’t give up a three! You can give up a 2 but not a three,” and it’s a timed game, or a three point shot would only be worth 1 point in that scenario.Īnd sometimes in a fast break situation where the player dunks and no one is around, a spectator will say something like, “At least put a hand up!” even though that wasn’t an option. Sometimes the spectators reactions are comically wrong given the situation. Really appreciate you all for taking the time to do this for us, Maybe we can break a couple ankles with you while we're out there!! We look forward to seeing all of you online. With NBA LIVE 19 releasing at midnight tonight. Here's your chance to let us know what you would like us to add to our current game as well as future titles. We're always looking for the community to provide us feedback on NBA LIVE. Screenshots work as well to support your description.We can always reach out to you if needed for further info. If you don't happen to have video, a detailed explanation as to what happened and how it occurred works as well.Videos are always super helpful to the NBA LIVE Dev team to help identify the issue so we can fix them.In order to help that process, here's what we need from you. We aim to do our best to fix as many bugs as we can after launch of NBA LIVE 19. In addition, “OSHA found Coronado Excavation had not trained workers on trenching and excavation hazards and did not protect them from excavated material falling into the trench nor did they provide safe access to and from the trench.We really appreciate all of the videos, documents and messages we receive from you all on the internet related to bugs on NBA LIVE. “The collapse occurred while employees installed residential pipes and their employer failed to use adequate protective systems in the trench as required by law,” the release said.

The main drive behind the new iteration of The Bard's Tale is to create an RPG for an older audience. He had the idea for a remake of The Bard's Tale in the back of his head for a long time, and it was the perfect choice for the first game at his new company. Not only did this give him some research material, but it also rekindled his desire to work on a project he had been thinking about for a while. However, during the time after leaving Interplay and starting his new company - InXile (pronounced "In Exile") Entertainment - Brian says that he played as many games as he could get his hands on, especially those in his favorite genre: RPGs. Still a hardcore gamer at heart, Brian admits that, while overseeing Interplay, he didn't have as much time to play games as he would like. Yesterday, Brian stopped by the IGN compound with the latest build of the "rebirth" of The Bard's Tale in hand, and we had a chance to see how the game is turning out. Brian Fargo has a long history in the industry, and after working on other RPG classics such as Neuromancer, Fallout and Wasteland, his name is synonymous with computer RPGs. It was with The Bard's Tale that Brian Fargo made his name known in the videogame world.well, at least known to a world of dorks and geeks since this was well before videogames became as mainstream as they are now. That makes our vocabulary size 5, and we will assume there are 3 embedding dimensions for simplicity. Let’s assume our input sentence in Figure 1 is our complete input text. If our input sentence is “I am reading the book.”, then the input pairs and labels for a window size of 3 would be:įigure 1: Bare-bones CBOW (image by the author). Now that we have determined the magic of Word2Vec lies in word associations, let us take it a step further and understand the two subsets of Word2Vec.ĬBOW is a technique where, given the neighboring words, the center word is determined. Hence, this technique is totally dependent on a good dataset. If your text corpus has several instances of the word “read” in the same sentence as the word “book”, the Word2Vec approach will automatically group them together. Hence, the meaning of a word will depend on the words where it is associated. The context of a word is defined by its neighboring words. Now, if that sounds confusing to you, let’s break it down into even simpler terms. We help define the meaning of words based on their context. So are these weights assigned at random ( Table 1)?īelieve it or not, the answer lies in the last paragraph itself. On top of that, the English language has several words with multiple meanings based on the context. The word’s weight in each dimension of that embedding space defines it for the model.īut how will we assign these weights? It is not abundantly clear that teaching grammar and other semantics to a computer is a tough task but expressing the meaning of each word is a different ball game altogether. Word2Vec essentially means expressing each word in your text corpus in an N-dimensional space (embedding space). It is exactly what you think (i.e., words as vectors). Let us address the very first thing What does the name Word2vec mean? Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.Looking for the source code to this post?

Woman stops band of men with martial arts moves. Leg bones sticking out of a pair of boots seen, along with other skeletons littered about inside a dark castle. One character teases another by increasing his fear of crossing a rickety bridge. Various conflicts between creatures and knights result in wrestling, punches, kicks, and hitting with chairs and other objects. Creatures deemed different or unusual are rounded up and sent away. The Gingerbread Man (a fairy tale creature) is threatened with being drowned in milk and having his legs removed. Unfortunately, they also added enough burps, flatulence, and double entendres to bring our overall grade down to a barely recommendable B. The writers of this computer animated adventure threw in enough original twists and spoofing comedy to make for an interesting watch. Why is Shrek rated PG? Shrek is rated PG by the MPAA for mild language and some crude humor.Ī simple tale of an ugly ogre, beautiful princess, and hard hearted ruler. With purpose and haste, Shrek sets off on his quest with Donkey in tow. But Farquaad will only agree to restore the swamp to its original splendor if the twosome can deliver Princess Fiona (voiced by Cameron Diaz), who is imprisoned by a dragon in a far away castle. Reluctantly, Shrek agrees to take Donkey (as he is simply named) to see the prince. Rounding up the strange fairy tale characters living amongst the people, he orders them to reside in a designated area-Shrek’s peaceful swamp.Īmongst the throng of things like a wooden doll with a growing nose and an old woman with scads of children living in a shoe, is a wisecracking non-stop talking donkey (voiced by Eddie Murphy) who anxiously wants to accompany Shrek to Farquaad’s castle and assist in convincing the ruler to let the creatures roam freely again. Feared and hunted by townspeople (all “normal” humans), the large ugly green being with horns for ears has grown accustomed to his solitary life… until the day when ruler of the land, Lord Farquaad (voiced by John Lithgow), decides to administer an ethnic cleansing of sorts. Near a bubbly soupy swamp in a forest of strange creatures, lives the ogre Shrek (voiced by Mike Meyers of Saturday Night Live and Austin Powers fame). It is known for being the birthplace of Boston Bruins legend Art Ross in the NHL, and is also home to historical plaques commemorating Salter’s Meridian, a survey line which resulted in the first known evidence of the Sudbury area’s massive mineral deposits. Naughton is part of Walden, Ontario in Greater Sudbury, and is home to many of the suburban scenes in Cardinal. Naughton Naughton, Ontario (Photo: Wikimedia Commons) It is a diverse city, with more than 50 per cent of residents belonging to a visible minority group. The city is home to not far off three million people, making it Canada’s most populous – and if you include the wider area it is the fourth most populous city in North America. Perhaps Canada’s most famous city, Toronto pops up sporadically throughout the series. Of Cardinal’s presence in the city, Mayor Al McDonald said back in 2017: “We’ve had great success with the film industry and it’s continuing to grow here in the city, it’s pumping millions and millions of dollars into our local economy.” Toronto Toronto, Ontario (Photo: Pixabay) The city, which takes its name from its position on the shore of Lake Nipissing, has been used throughout the show’s run.

Charles III’s coronation is set to usher in the new Carolean era, in the hopes that it will reflect its namesake Charles II and his contributions to art and music. Officially named Greater Sudbury, it is the largest city in Northern Ontario by population, and is home to around 162,000 people.

But it sure feels like he’s getting there. Usually commercial software or games are produced for sale or to serve a commercial purpose.I increasingly get email from readers who have failing or kaput AirPort base station equipment and want to set up a network with the same simplicity, but at a lower cost than mesh options. Even though, most trial software products are only time-limited some also have feature limitations. After that trial period (usually 15 to 90 days) the user can decide whether to buy the software or not. Trial software allows the user to evaluate the software for a limited amount of time. Demos are usually not time-limited (like Trial software) but the functionality is limited. In some cases, all the functionality is disabled until the license is purchased. Demoĭemo programs have a limited functionality for free, but charge for an advanced set of features or for the removal of advertisements from the program's interfaces. In some cases, ads may be show to the users. Basically, a product is offered Free to Play (Freemium) and the user can decide if he wants to pay the money (Premium) for additional features, services, virtual or physical goods that expand the functionality of the game.

Every device in your home can establish a connection to your wireless internet network. Overall, the most dependable application for giving wireless internet access to other devices is Apple AirPort Utility. This makes its configuration very easy too. As for Time Capsule, this refers to the combination of a gateway router and a wireless device. You just connect the cables and then let the network be configured automatically by the application. If you are familiar with routers, these AirPort Base Stations work kind of like them. After that, all the stations that are available will be listed in the main interface. This means the base station just needs to be plugged in. It will even perform the configuration of your network too. This network will give internet access to all kinds of wireless devices in the nearby rooms, including smartphones, laptops, tablets, and regular desktop computers.ĭo not worry about having to set up AirPort Express or AirPort Base Station because the AirPort Utility software for Windows PC will handle all of this automatically. It is very simple to create a wireless network with password protection by using either an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule. It will simply transfer the connection to all the nearby rooms in your house or classroom. The AirPort Utility will not create a direct internet connection with your existing ISP (Internet Service Provider). The wireless connection that gets established needs to pass through an AirPort Base Station that is already online. Once your computer is configured, you can establish an AirPort Base Station or gain access to an existing AirPort network. All you need to do is configure the AirPort Utility software on your computer appropriately. Basically, without needing any cables, you can create a network and allow all these devices to wirelessly communicate with each other. It allows you to wirelessly connect multiple devices and computers to the internet. When you want to give wireless internet access to other people in your classroom or house, the Apple AirPort Utility makes it easier than ever. Our photography tools, software included, are relatively inexpensive for what they allow us to do and problems they solve. JPEG quality settings should now get reset to 95 whenever the user last used anything 30 or lower. I photographed a broadcast studio last week and I was told a Fuji box lenses on one of the rigs goes for $178K! The entire rig, camera, lens, pedestal tripod and the cradle goes for almost $300K. Price while may be high for some and perception may be that the software companies are milking us for things we do not need, I think the right tool makes our lives a lot easier. I am forced to shoot a lot of high ISO images these days and the noise reduction function is invaluable. I think if the Denoise is better of the two (Topaz/On1) I would pay for the software just for that. My friend uses the Gigapixel and loves it. From the few comparisons that I have seen, they both have pluses and minuses. I would love to see do a comparison with On1 denoise. I am mostly interested in the DeNoise AI module. You would also prefer adobe offering the whole CC and ditch single apps? So if you do something with graphics you need ps, lr, illustrator, express, inDesign, animate, substance etc ah and we're at it maybe the video centric apps as well despite one just wanting lr/ps? Or maybe offering only the whole CC suite at full price? That is more comparable. As example if you don't need gigapixel ai (it really isn't that great with full sized photos but pretty good if you download small resolution photos from web and get them into print size). With the single one you also have the opportunity to stay cheaper by leaving out what you don't need. Meaning you are happy paying the same price for less capabilities? (ok atm it is cheaper, we'll see if it stays at a discount like the single apps or goes up). Well the combined app costs as much as all three together, so price wise nothing changed except that you get more with the single apps as they offer more options, more AI models and more control. To be honest it was much more refined before the refinement in the presentation.ĪI Clear for denoise seems to be gone? It wasn't the best but more consistent for batch processing as a last refinement for delivery or clearing spots or lines (you know those artifacts that might appear as leftovers of NR when dealing with heavy noise). You can grow it to cover missed spots sure but it starts growing those that were already pretty good to cause effects on the background without an option to limit that. Now you have to manually blend it in a different program. Or a recover original detail slider which acted as a soft blend mode to get something in between which was useful against some ai errors as well. Of course there are many Topaz Filter ACTIONS and preset settings out there for you to use weather for practice or just quickly to use to achieve. You had more choices and could make some tweaks as there always were parts which looked "funny" in some images (masking out with a brush in worst case situations but you could do it). In the DETAIL RECOVERY section of Topaz Denoise, you can use it to recover the details of images that have been smoothed out or reduce the blur that occurred over important sharpened details. Not sure if the recent updates to both LrC and or the OS caused a problem.Oww the control is pretty limited compared to the standalone apps. I have read I’m not the only person having this issue. gaussain blur (make sure at 30 opacity) 4. I’m using Mac Monterey 12.0.1 and LrC 11.0.1. disclaimer: i did not make these settings i found them on tumblr awhile ago but unfortunately i do not know the op who posted these ): so for these settings, your end product will have 4 effects on them, and the order does matter 1. I uninstalled 3.3.4, went to Topaz and downloaded it again. I even tried preserve source format and that didn’t work eitherĪt minute 6:27 in the video Matt opens the DNG file that came back from DeNoise and the color profile is Adobe Color. What I got out of this video is that even if it comes back as a DNG the process is supposed to preserve the Raw file so you can access color profiles. According to Matt it should be on Adobe color.Īt minute 5:07 of Matt’s video he states to select DNG. The color profiles is now on Color which does not allow to select other color profiles. It comes back to LrC as a denoise-raw.dng file. File attached.įrom the Grid view I drag the CR3 file into DeNoise. As I stated I don’t even see Lens Corrections which should be just above it. In preferences I disabled Apply Raw Correction. Having stars on a separate layer also makes it easier to do star reduction without creating halos. I’m following the exact steps Matt suggested. I also found that Topaz Denoise deforms the stars but you can denoise a starless image created with StarNet++ and add the stars back afterwards. It's not working as shown in Matt's video. I noticed one important thing during the combat which was pretty hard since we lacked any weapons. The graphics are identical for the thugs used in the Ishar 2 city. It doesn´t take long before I meet the first thugs and have to fight them to get by. If I where to be playing seriously I would also start to write down each shops inventory and prices as in Ishar 2 but there are people out there that have already done that so I think that If I first discover all shops there are and then use the pre-written lists, it does not count as cheating, right ? You still have the automap and this time it is improved in one important way. After you´ve visited a place it is marked on the map and color-coded. I don´t know who he is but he gives us our first task Where that astronomer is to be found he doesn´t say. Too see an astronomer and ask him about the great conjunction. In front of you stands a man. My party approach and he give us the first task. Probably twice as large as the city in Ishar 2 and the city graphics is much improved and more detailed. However, I still choosed to go with my old group for this quick revisit. This is a major improvment and let´s you optimise your party. This time around you really create your own characters by selecting race, class and distribute 62 points to attributes. Just to compare I restart the game from scratch without importing my last save from Ishar 2. My highest level characters are level 24 but If I am starting Ishar 3 from scratch, they begin at level 16. But we keep our levels and therefore vitality points. Not that it matter much because as I´ve said while reviewing Ishar 2, neither skill points or attribute points increase during level ups. I first inspected my group and they retained everytying except their equipment and gold. I successfully imported my party from Ishar 2. Unfortunately I cannot find any example of these bad games but I know there are several that have crossed my path amongst the classical RPGs of the last decades.ĭo you have any exampels of the games that handles this bad ? Such games spoiles the fun of exploration and forces you to stay to the main quest and roads in order not to trigger them until you´ve been given them. You will miss out on both XP and a potential reward for the quest. Now, the bad games will just remove the quest from the game without informing you when you complete it and you will never be given it in the first place. With a system like that you take no risks or chances by this playing style other than that it could have been nice to know the context of the quest before you completed it. If the game also let´s you complete the quest when you later see the quest giver, all the better because then you get the reward for the quest as well.īut these are the good games. Then you know you´ve done something good and gets some credit for it. The good ones let you get into the quest by informing you that the quest is completed, perhaps by showing it´s name or giving you xp. So far so good but here is where RPGs traditionally differs. A big world but totally without content beyond the quests given. Bad games never put interesting things or places beyond the main roads like Arcania - Gothic 4. It could be by killing a sorcerer in a cave, or finding a special item. When doing that it is not seldom that I trigger or complete a quest not yet given to me. Everything in hope of finding hidden or hard to get items that will give me a small advantage early on. I take the time to explore the surroundings by climbing up the mountains, finding small ways through swamps, ravines etc. I almost never follow the main roads or go straight ahead to my next natural objective. It struck me lately when playing that I have a certain playing style in open gameworld games (like Two worlds, Gothic 3, Morrowind, Risen etc). |
