![]() ![]() Mac’s preparations for the hike were basic. ![]() “Had I known that the Far Lands were so many thousands of kilometres away, I might have been more hesitant.” “In my ignorance, I thought the journey might take a year or so,” Mac told me. It was exactly what Mac had been searching for: he changed the name of his YouTube channel to Far Lands or Bust!, and he set off to see them for himself. As he cast about for a fresh angle to distinguish his episodes from those of other YouTube Minecraft-casters, he came upon Persson’s post. Around that time, inspired by the legions of Minecraft players who record and broadcast their adventures, Mac started a YouTube channel to document his virtual exploits. In March, 2011, Persson wrote a blog post about the problem in the game’s source code and the mysterious area where Minecraft’s world begins to warp and disintegrate, which he calls the Far Lands. “But I did the math on how likely it was people would ever reach it, and I decided it was far away enough that the bugs didn’t matter.” “Pretty early on, when implementing the ‘infinite’ worlds, I knew the game would start to bug out at long distances,” Persson told me. Markus Persson, the game’s creator, planned for these worlds to be infinitely large: if a player kept walking in a single direction, the game would create more of the world in front of him, like an engineer forever laying track for an advancing train.īut, at extreme distances from a player’s starting point, a glitch in the underlying mathematics causes the landscape to fracture into illogical shapes and patterns. Minecraft’s universe is procedurally generated, meaning that an algorithm places each asset-every hill, mountain, cave, river, sheep, and so on-in a unique arrangement every time a new game is loaded, so that no two players’ worlds are exactly alike. It is primarily a game about human expression: a giant, Lego-style construction set in which every object can be broken down into its constituent elements and rebuilt in the shape of a house, an airship, a skyscraper, or whatever else a player can create. Type "cd /mnt/c/FILEPATH", where FILEPATH is where you stored your unzipped files from Github.įor example, my files were stored in: /mnt/c/Users/Beth/Documents/Tools/geocraft-master/geocraft-master/Īs you can see in the image above, typing "ls" shows me the files in this folder.In the four years since its initial release, Minecraft has become a phenomenon that is played by more than forty million people around the world, on computers, smartphones, and video-game consoles. "cd" will change directory and let you move around through the computer.ĭefinitely have a play with this if you are not familiar (the rest of your computer is accessible via "cd /mnt/c/"), but for now we will just cover what you need to get this software running. If you type "ls", it will show you all the files that are saved in the directory you are in (Documents, Pictures etc.). Two basic commands that are good to learn are "ls" and "cd". You should then see some green writing which looks like This is where you will type the commands for the computer. Don't worry if it looks like the password is not typing anything, it is, it just doesn't show it. When you first boot up Ubuntu on Windows, it will ask you to choose a username and password.

![]() Also, when one hears a movie with the name The Babysitter, they conclude that this is a kid movie, but here things turned out to be bloody and toxic I’d not suggest leaving your kid to watch this because they saw a kid like Cole playing the lead role. ![]() ![]() But in this case, McG doesn’t give off the impression of being an especially mature director for instance, the kiss between Bee and the cheerleader Allison (Bella Thorne) could not be more stupid and gratuitous, and it makes the most of the masculine gaze. To get one thing out of the way, The Babysitter is not the most creative movie ever made. Having a comedy-filled horror movie of the babysitter with King Bach is worth it, but wasn’t it too much? What will happen next? Is Cole going to get caught? Will he make it through the night without being butchered? Many questions come in as this 1hr 25mins movie rolls away. Most babysitter movies have always had this narrative, but Brain Diffield had the suspense encrypted in the audience’s heart. The young child, who is frightened but resolved to take action against the situation, will need to make it through the night and figure out how to confront his babysitter or possibly tell his parents, played by Ken Marino and Leslie Bibb. However, everything is going according to plan until Cole gets up in the middle of the night and stares secretly through the landing, only to discover that his companion is hiding a dark (and bloody) secret from him. Cole, played by Judah Lewis, is a 12-year-old boy with few friends who, despite having entered his teens, still has a babysitter: the sexy Bee, played by Samara Weaving, who comes to his house every time his parents go out of bed. The narrative of this movie does have some interesting possibilities. Pushing Cole away into Bee’s hands was worse than those bullies in school. Just be sure to go into it without expecting it to be something as critical or self-aware. But even if we ignore that, The Babysitter is an entertaining horror movie that, even though it does not deliver on everything promised in the first twenty minutes of its filming, should delight fans of the genre. Surprisingly, “The Babysitter” is one of the best films produced by Joseph McGinty Nichol, popularly known as McG, which, to be honest, is not saying much because the director of Charlie’s Angels or Terminator: Salvation is not exactly the filmmaker of our days. ![]()
It looks like Jason Mantzoukas’ Kyle, comedy writing partner of Andrea, will only appear in one episode, sadly. There were so many hilarious recurring and guest stars in Season 1 of I’m Sorry that I couldn’t help but take a look at who is on the docket for Season 2. But who knows, maybe she’ll show up in a future episode? Sadly not featured is Judy Greer’s Maureen, presumably because her child isn’t attending the same school. The clip also shows that Andrea’s closest dad friend, Brian (comedian and voice actor Gary Anthony Williams) is returning, along with a new mom pal, Beth (Lennon Parham, also from Veep and the upcoming The Goldbergs spinoff, Schooled). Either way, you know Andrea will have plenty of jokes to make about him. So it will be interesting to see how that works out for Amelia. Unlike the warmer alternative, Amelia’s new teacher isn’t exactly the happy-go-lucky young teacher you usually see occupying elementary school positions. Castellotti (Brian Stepanek from Young Sheldon and - yup, he was Arwin on The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, if you can remember that far back) and he’s - well, just watch the clip and you’ll see what I mean. But just when they think things are going perfectly, they meet her teacher, Mr. ![]() In the I’m Sorry Season 1 finale, Andrea and Mike learn that Amelia has been accepted into their top choice school for kindergarten, which, if you know anything about the school system in the LA area, is a huge thing. ![]() The title is a phrase the protagonist often has to say, because her particularly dark and dirty brand of humor is a little too much for most of the parents she has to interact with on a daily basis. The premise of I’m Sorry is fairly simple: Andrea Savage ( Veep, iZombie) stars as Andrea Warren, a comedy writer living in Los Angeles with her husband, Mike (Tom Everett Scott, who will always be Guy from That Thing You Do to me) and their daughter, Amelia. It took me, like, no more than three nights to complete, and I was begging for more. For those who haven’t watched any of the Andrea Savage-led comedy yet, run, don’t walk, to Netflix, where you can marathon Season 1 in its entirety. Attention: For those not in the know, there’s a new season of one of the my favorite shows headed to TruTV - and I’ve got an exclusive clip from Season 2 of I’m Sorry, featuring the trademark hilarity that made the first season so much fun. ![]() They are definitely someone you’ll want by your side in times of crisis. What's more, a balanced Virgo can also be level-headed in situations where other types could become easily overwhelmed. As Sensor types, both ISTJs and ESTJs thrive on logical endeavors and focus on getting things done in the most efficient way. Virgo: ISTJ, ESTJĭown-to-earth and meticulously organized, Virgo is closest to XSTJ personalities. ![]() The balanced Leo loves seeing others succeed. In fact, these gregarious types may be comfortable in the spotlight, but they also know when to step back and let others take the lead. If there’s someone who knows how to light up a room, it’s a Leo! Despite sometimes appearing to be vain or ego-driven, like their ESFP and ENTJ counterparts, Leos are actually very generous and emotionally supportive towards their loved ones. Cancers are also typically intuitive, which allows them to read (and sometimes misjudge) the people around them. These types strive to bring kindness into every interaction and can have intense responses to art and nature. They tend to be very emotionally invested in their relationships, and will go to the ends of the earth to prove their loyalty to their friends and loved ones.īoth ENFJ and INFJ types might identify with the sensitivity of Cancers. ![]() Cancer: INFJ, ENFJĬaring and empathetic, Cancers share similar traits to XNFJs. There could be some overlap with INTPs here, too. They love to be surrounded by intellectually stimulating people, but sometimes have little tolerance for those who can’t keep up. Similar to their ENTP peers, Gemini are incessantly curious and seek to analyze and comprehend the world around them. After all, these personalities feel best when they have a chance to lift other people up with their quick wit and charming optimism. The joyful and communicative Gemini has a lot in common with both ESFPs and ENTPs. You can see that in their irreproachable sense of commitment and perseverance. In addition, Tauruses know that slow and steady wins the race. Like the Introverted ISFJ and ISFP types, Tauruses can be hard to get to know, but they’re lovingly devoted to their closest relationships. Taurus: ISFJ, ISFPįamed for having a bit of a stubborn streak, people with the Taurus sign are, in many ways, similar to ISFX personality types. In fact, both ESTPs and ISTPs share with Aries an inclination and enthusiasm for learning new things through hand-on experience. What’s more, people with this zodiac sign personality show the flexibility and problem-solving nature of the more reserved ISTP. They’re very action-oriented and tend to become bored quickly. Like ESTPs, Aries live in the here-and-now and are eager to tackle new challenges that come their way. Known for their energetic attitude and sense of adventure, Aries has much in common with both ESTP and ISTP personalities. However, it can still be an interesting self-development tool for those who trust that the position of the skies can have an effect on our personalities and behavior.Ĭurious to know which Myers and Briggs type is closest to your zodiac sign? Here are our best guesses. Unlike personality type assessments, we can’t scientifically prove astrology. In fact, Jung defined astrology as “ the science of antiquity” and concluded that astrological insights provided an important “psychological description of character.” Could astrology account for some of the variation within types? Maybe an INFP Aries is more combative than an INFP Pisces?įor the sake of speculation, here is an interpretation of how the INFP Myers Briggs personality might vary across each of the 12 zodiac signs.Did you know that Carl Jung-who first identified the four cognitive functions Myers and Briggs later developed in their personality work-Sensation (S), Intuition (I), Thinking (T), and Feeling (F)-was not only interested in typology, but also in astrology? Many people can be borderline just barely qualifying as one type or another. ![]() Within each Myers Briggs type tribe there is a significant amount of variation due to the fact that everything is evaluated on a spectrum. Is it possible that one informs the other? It seems that most people know about the description of their zodiac sign and so it is possible that either through cosmic forces, or cognitive biases, the traits of our astrology sign may become intertwined with our self image to the extent that we subconsciously become more like our sign whether or not we are predisposed to being that way innately (as astrology would suggest). The 12 zodiac sign archetypes are a bit like caricatures but they tell a different story than what the 16 Myers Briggs types portray. You can develop within the framework of this simulator from the GAMEGOS studio indefinitely, trying to reach the heights and the honorable first place in the global ranking. If you think you have what it takes to brace the rush of afternoon coffee drinkers clamoring for cream, and run a cafe like a business that makes enough profit to expand and improve its offering, then give these cafe games a try. Soon you will notice that the starting room Cafeland – World Kitchen is no longer enough to accommodate all comers, so we are buying new buildings, decorating the halls with beautiful and comfortable furniture, hiring new employees (bartenders, waiters, administrators, cooks, cleaners and so on), in short, we are expanding on all fronts and directions. Many aspiring actor or actress has started their career as a waiter or waitress in a cafe, before being discovered. What do you need to promote your cafe? Naturally, excellent service and a constantly expanding range of dishes that can please even the most fastidious gourmet! Therefore, it is necessary to do not only everything quickly, but also qualitatively, sparing no investment in the study and unlocking of new dishes and drinks. Most of the players with the nuances and features of the Cafeland – World Kitchen gameplay will figure it out in the process of passing, because the novelty is casual, and, therefore, the requirements for the gamer’s experience are minimal. ![]() Say, current tasks and orders appear in this section, a culinary college graduate reveals his cooking potential at this stove, hungry customers are waiting to receive an order, and so on. ![]() After the start of the game, users are not waiting for any prefaces, they are immediately shown training, offering the theory to be instantly consolidated in practice. Cafeland – World Kitchen – a casual novelty on the theme of the restaurant business, which offers everyone to turn a miniature cafe into a network of popular catering establishments around the world, for which you have to show both dexterity and managerial talents. ![]() You can even automate the tempo ( see 21.5.8) to create smooth or sudden tempo changes along the song timeline. The Control Bar’s Tempo field allows you to change the playback tempo of your Live Set at any time, in real time. Mixing and matching audio from different origins is therefore extremely easy. This happens without affecting the pitch, which can be changed independently. Live is capable of time-warping samples while streaming them from disk so as to synchronize them to the current Live Set’s tempo. Things get even better when you apply randomness to the sidechained drum groove.Unlike music stored on tape or in a traditional digital audio workstation, the music in Live remains “elastic“ at all times. Choose a drum groove as the source of the sidechain input of your noise gate and mute the output of the drum track. Another great way to add rhythm is to use a noise gate, think of it as an inversed compressor. Second, there’s the possibility of using a LFO to create a tremolo effect. First, you could draw or record volume automation by hand. There are several ways to accomplish this. To get your inner Flume going, add volume automation to pads to make them part of the rhythm section. This makes the pad stand out even more, a technique used in many pop productions. Another tip is to add some white or pink noise in the chorus of a song. ![]() For an electronic music track, use the drop to let your pad shine in all its glory, but filter the pad once the lead sound and beats come in again. In a verse, cut off the high end of your pad and add those frequencies back when you get to the chorus. Correlation meters, such as the one found in the free iZotope Ozone Imager 2 will tell you that’s the case when the needle drops below zero.Ī nice tip is to play with EQ in your arrangement. A word of caution: widening your stereo image can yield phase issues. Unison in modern synths often means that every voice is additionally panned to alternating stereo channels. In older synths, unison was used to stack different versions of the same voice on top of each other, each voice detuned slightly. Many digital synths have the option to spread voices using unison. Apply unisonĪ pad can open up a mix by widening the stereo image. A pad sound normally fades in and out, so choose medium to long attack times for the attack and release of the amplitude envelope. Finally, use envelopes to shape your pad sound. For example, control the rate of LFO two with LFO one and let LFO two modulate the wavetable position of oscillator one to create a complex modulation curve. Wavetable gives you the option to modulate the wave shape of the oscillators. Use a second LFO with a different rate for another modulation target to add even more movement. A nice addition is to modulate both oscillator pitches with a different LFO amount or speed. If you are looking for a Boards of Canada type of vibe, do go overboard with vibrato. Keep the pitch amount low and make sure the LFO amount is dialed down to around 10%. ![]() Choose the pitch of an oscillator as the target of your modulation and pick a sine or triangle as the modulation source. Adding vibrato to a synth patch is a very good way to introduce movement. By touching or pressing down a string, slight changes in pitch will be introduced, known as vibrato. Add some vibratoĪcoustic string instruments never stay on the exact same pitch. It’s a good idea to leave the pitch of your first oscillator unchanged or close to zero to be in tune with other elements of your track. If you detune the oscillators too much, it will dilute the clarity of the pitch and your sound starts to wobble. Don’t overdo it – a percentage between 1% and 10% is usually enough. Detune your oscillatorsĪ very simple trick to make a dull sound come to life is to detune your oscillators. ![]() Tip: in Wavetable you’re not limited to the basic waveforms, there are plenty of complex waveforms to play with. If you want a smoother type of sound, try using triangle-like shapes. If you’re after a string-type sound, go for a sawtooth and blend it with another sawtooth or square. The selection of waveforms will define how your pad sounds in the end, so choose wisely. Live’s own Wavetable is a good instrument to create inspiring pads. Because of the many roles a pad can have, almost any sound source can be used for creating a pad sound. Raise your own pet Chao, improve their statistics and compete with them in unique mini-games.

The one exception is the digital board, which is supplied fully assembled. As Brian puts it, ANK basically sends out a box of parts, and 50% of the success is ultimately in the customer’s hands. It has seen several variations, though currently production is only focused on an upgraded version known simply as the DAC 2.1 Signature. The $1700 DAC 2.1 kit is considered an entry-level product, but is one of ANK’s longest running products with a significant DIY following. It’s absolutely brilliant that ANK can leverage Audio Note’s engineering and parts development for DIYers, who can thereby approach the AN sound at a lower price point. By 2014, after many regular engineering trips from Canada to the UK and lots of AN part purchases, the kit business was taking on a life of its own, with a full range of products including E元4, EL84, and 300B amplification, phonostages, preamps, and DACs. To avoid confusion, the branding was changed to ANK or ANKits. It was then that Brian Smith approached AN’s president, Peter Qvortrup, with a proposal to keep the kit business going, and the end result was. But while originally the kit business was integrated with AN’s finished-product side, in 2004 it was shut down internally due to the support-heavy requirements and low margins of kits. ![]() Yes, this is an Audio Note UK (AN) design. Well, to be more specific, my report is strictly about the sonics of this DAC since I purchased the unit fully assembled. T his is a rare bird in the pages of TAS-a kit report for the intrepid DIYer, who’s in search of an affordable DAC and not afraid of wielding a soldering iron. Effective Range of most Shotguns, SMGs, and Pistols have been reduced (SMGs and Pistols were overperforming at range and Shotguns were adjusted down due to increased lethality overall).Dev Tip: Dauntless, a perk that players didn’t have access to in Beta, makes players immune to movement reducing effects. ![]()
