Call of the Mountain tries to capture some of that magic, but it often feels like more of an amusement park ride based on the series than an expansion of it. Both Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West rank among Sony’s best titles, offering intriguing worldbuilding and an iconic hero in Aloy. Horizon Call of the Mountain isn’t just significant for being PSVR2’s only major launch game it’s also the first real spinoff for Sony’s Horizon series. That makes for a mixed launch game that’ll be more impressive the less familiar you are with VR. Though it has a tougher time balancing that with its wider ambitions, balancing deep gameplay systems with simple interactions that feel like a tutorial for Sony’s new Sense controllers. As PlayStation VR2’s first major release, the action-adventure title successfully plays the role of a tech demo that can show off the headset’s new features and technical capabilities. That’s where Horizon Call of the Mountain finds itself stuck between a rock and, well, another rock. “Immersive experiences” aren’t enough to carry a VR game in 2023 they need to be as strong and as mechanically sound and engaging as any console game. That dynamic highlights a notable change in how the bar has moved for VR games.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate. There are several things to keep in mind when using transparent textures: Note that a texture need not be square 512圆4 textures are fine. If the size of an image isn't, the game (or more accurately, GLU) will scale it to the nearest power of two before sending it to OpenGL, resulting in lower quality. The size of OpenGL's standard 2D textures must be a power of two. For the best results, follow these guidelines: Sky.png = texture for the lower sky (the upper sky uses the floor*.png)įloor.png = single textured floor (and upper sky)įloor_a.png, floor_b.png = dual textured floorĬreating a texture is as simple as making an image and saving it as described above. Rim_wall.png = texture for the outer walls ' TODO: put folder locations in a single wiki entry and validate' Folder must be named "moviepack" only (no extensions or numbers). Simply drag a moviepack folder to this location. Mac OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/Armagetron Advanced/ Unix/Linux: /usr/local/share/games/armagetronad/ Now you have a backup available if you want to restore the original. Instead of replacing any texture files, you should rename the original file and then copy the new one into the folder. Textures are images displayed during the game.įor exmaple the image on the outer wall can be changed by exchanging the rim_wall.png file. It is important to note that there must be an existing moviepack installed to single update to a new model.Ĭustomizing default textures Installing a different default textureĪrmagetronAd allows to change textures of the floor, the walls, the cycles and the sky.Īll textures are contained in the "textures" folder. In your Armagetron Advanced moviepack directory (see above) locate bike.png and cycle.ase and replace with the new ones. You should inform the author of the moviepack of the problem so he can fix it. If settings.cfg is partially or completely capitalized, no textures will load even if they are properly capitalized. ie, change filename.JPG to filename.jpg and it will probably be OK. In particular, upper case extensions can cause problems. to correct this, manually change the case of the file to suit. In Unix based Operating Systems, where file case is important, sometimes a texture doesn't display even though it appears to be installed correctly. The easiest way around this is to first install the original moviepack (get the ZIP) and install the moviepack you actually want on top of it. Armagetron Advanced looks for files that are not present in the moviepack. This means that the moviepack you installed is not complete, i.e. Sometimes you get errors after installing a moviepack, such as The armagetron installation and configuration paths should be somewhere else on the wiki, too Problems Windows TODO: put folder locations in a single wiki entry and validate Mac OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/Armagetron Advanced Windows Vista: C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Armagetron Windows 2000/XP: C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Armagetron For all systems, unpacking the moviepack so that it sits as a 'moviepack' folder inside the user data folder works.Note that you have to enable viewing hidden files to see some directories.

You’ll also need to register at least one fingerprint before installing and setting up Samsung Flow. Your phone will need to be able to run the Samsung Flow app, along with having NFC and Bluetooth functionality to work with the Tab Pro S. If you own a compatible Android device, you’ll need to download Samsung Flow from the Google Play Store. If you bought a new Galaxy Tab Pro S, Samsung Flow comes pre-installed.

(then he turns and asks Chester and Nelson) Oh hey, you guys want soup? Dude, Where's My Car? lacks the depth of character you might find in, say, a Bill & Ted movie, but the dialogue has an amazing spareness to it that gives it a kind of metaphysical splendor-if absurdist playwright Samuel Beckett had written ludicrous babe & stoner movies, he would have written Dude, Where's My Car? Also featuring a cameo by Andy Dick and more babes in bikinis than you can count. Which of course leads our heroes on a quest, during which they encounter a pot-smoking dog, khaki-wearing cultists, hot chicks from outer space, a cameo by Fabio, and a herd of wild ostriches. The boys set out to get the anniversary gifts they have for the girls in Jesse's car. An irate phone call from their girlfriends quickly makes it clear that they may have had too much of a good time, and will be branded as sucky boyfriends unless they set things right. Jesse and Chester (Ashton Kutcher and Seann William Scott) wake up one morning with absolutely no memory of the night before, but they're confident they must have had a good time. Dude, Where's My Car? is one of the most ridiculous movies ever made-so ridiculous, and so thoroughly cheerful about being ridiculous, that it's thoroughly entertaining. The scrolling thumb has replaced the dusty finger it's crate-digging in the post-record shop era. A particularly postmodern recycled medium, born in the wake of a pandemic that made in-person sessions all but impossible, the phenomenon speaks to how online the creation of music - specifically rap - has become. Sample drill is perhaps the most online iteration of rap music we've ever seen. Cobain, EPondabeat and other notable New York drill producers have defined themselves by the songs they sample, so much so that critics and fans alike have phrased the trend as "sample drill." In speaking with some of New York drill's most notable producers - Cobain, EP, WAR, and EvilGiane - I hoped to answer the other question that presented itself: why are these young producers making drill out of source material that runs the gamut from esoteric to painfully obvious to bizarre? Previously, I sat down with fellow New York drill producer (and self-proclaimed "Sample God") Cash Cobain to watch him work, fitting tracks I brought for him to flip in an attempt to understand the how of this burgeoning rap sub-genre. Speaking with EPondabeat came from a question born out of another question. most of the time the sample comes and finds me. "So, when I got older and was on YouTube, it was just how my algorithm was. I don't do the searching around no more, I did that as a kid," he said. EPondabeat, one of New York drill's primary producers, is essentially bragging about how his well-rounded and high quality YouTube algorithm plays a part in the samples he selects for his beats in our interview. I wasn't one of the beta testers and found it much later (sometime in May) but so far, it's definitely one of my top favorites for file-based backups along with FreeFileSync (for portable usage) and perhaps zback (as a backup).Ĭlick to expand.This is probably not a good idea, because the backup will end up running pretty much all the time. If you use it long enough, you can also tell that a lot of thought has been put into the output to let you know exactly what has been done, anything that went wrong, and other miscellaneous information that may be important. Plus delta copying without relying on rsync and cygwin. Not only that, he's also a superb programmer it seems since the entire software is very lightweight on system resources, does a great job at doing what it's supposed to do, very fast, and very easy to use. What's amazing about it is that it's obviously the developer, Alex (angstrom), is a graphic designer of sorts since every single little graphical detail has been thought too. at the bottom of the page where it have a big blue button that say "DOWNLOAD", there's a little link Looking for the last beta?that you can click and it will provide you the link for the beta. In other words, it is pretty damn stable.Īny thoughts, questions or comments - I'd be happy to hear/answer them.Ĭlick to expand. It is now routinely used to handle multi-TB backups in production environments as well as a ton of smaller home and personal backup. During beta it saw about 15,000 installations and it went through 67 interim releases. The app went through 12 months of beta, from May 2013 to May this year. There's also quite a bit of interesting stuff in the development log. I have killed about 18 months on the app and a good half of it went into the UI design. Archiving of deleted items with age-based auto-pruning There backup scheduling options - periodic, real-time and manualĦ. This also prevents a backup from going on some other removable device that may just show up under the same letter.Ģ. Removable device tracking - it can make a note of a device fingerprint or its volume label and then track it across all drive letters, should the drive get a new one. There are no dependencies on any external frameworks - not even MFC/ATL - it's all done over raw Win32 API with a bit of COM where it's unavoidable.ġ. The app is written pretty much in C, though it does use several C++ features and it is compiled as a ++ code. I come from the system programming background and writing a lean code is a habit. It's heavily optimized through out in terms of mundane code optimization. So at the end of the backup it has the exact picture of what's at the destination, so on the next run it has no need to scan it.ĥ. remembers what's there and the incrementally updates this snapshot as it works its way through the backup. It defaults to maintaining a local snapshot of the destination, instead of re-scanning it on every run. Not a rocket science by any means, but this can speed things up by a factor of 10 when scanning slower NASes over laggy networks.Ĥ. It uses parallel disk scanning, when building the file lists for source/destination locations. It has a higher bulk copying speed than newer robocopy versions and other specialized 3rd party programs that I have tested.ģ. This eliminates unnecessary idling when copying and helps keeping the copying pipeline busy at all times. It uses fully asynchronous I/O with adaptive buffering, meaning that the app never waits for a read/write request to complete before issuing the next one. With delta copying a day worth of changes takes under an hour to propagate.Ģ. I run a backup that includes 256 GB TrueCrypt container and straight copying to an external USB3 drive takes about 4 hours. This speeds things up, in many cases dramatically. It uses delta copying to update file modified between the backup runs, so that it copied only modified blocks of files. It merely copies things from A to B, as is, and it is exceedingly good at it.ġ. It is not a all-in-one backup tool, it doesn't compress things, it doesn't FTP or encrypt files nor does it have a restore function. It's not a system backup, it doesn't create a system image that can be used to restore a bootable system after a failure. If you are currently doing your backups by copying files from your primary machine to an external drive or a NAS, the app will help you do it better, faster and in altogether more pleasant format. It's a simple data backup software that is meant for mirroring directories. If you’ve enjoyed the episode, please subscribe to The Alex Berman Podcast on iTunes and leave us a 5-star review.
