Those with fond memories of Scott Pilgrim or Castle Crashers will want to pay it some heed. All up, in terms of mechanics it feels like something from the era before the current trend of purer brawlers. There’s even a story to pay attention to should that be something you’re looking for in a beat-em-up. It’s also shockingly substantial, running several hours in length. Young Souls puts in a strong effort, with a nice presentation and some cool RPG mechanics to chew on. I’ve been on a beat-em-up kick the last couple of years, and I’m always excited to see a new one. It’s that old refrain again, friends: I really wanted to like this game a lot more than I did. SwitchArcade Score: 3.5/5 Young Souls ($24.99) I can’t help but feel there may have been a better vehicle for this charming little fairy tale, but I’m nevertheless happy I got to experience it. RPG fans will likely find less to be enthused with here, thanks to its plodding pace and somewhat banal battling. Ultimately, The Cruel King and the Great Hero is still worth playing for those who are attracted to its cute storybook stylings. The Dragon King isn’t the only one afraid to remove the training wheels, sadly. Yuu and the Dragon King’s lovable mannerisms can only do so much, and eventually the repetition sets in hard. Yuu doesn’t have many options for dealing with her enemies, and even adding in some friendly partners only slightly improves matters. Lots and lots of random battles especially. That’s a problem, because there are a lot of battles ahead of you as you play through this story. And I wish I could say it was a good one, but unfortunately the combat mechanics here are incredibly basic and never really build out in any meaningful ways. So what’s the problem, then? Well, this is an RPG. Fortunately for him Yuu doesn’t seem to notice, even when he breathes fire on her weapon for her special attack. He’s trying to hide, and not doing a very good job of it. He watches from the backgrounds as Yuu goes on her little adventures, beaming at her successes and wincing whenever she runs into trouble. The Dragon King is almost as easy to love. Protagonist Yuu is ridiculously cute and expressive, waving her little weapon at the enemies she comes across. It feels like a picture book come to life, complete with a narrator for the story segments. It doesn’t always stay as sweet as it starts off, but overall this is a very heart-warming tale. The Dragon King wants to nurture her dream, and he does so in the most hilariously doting way you could imagine. Her human father was a hero, and after hearing bedtime stories about him from her adopted father, she seeks to follow in his footsteps. A Dragon King has adopted a human child, allowing her to live among the monsters in the forest. I love so much about The Cruel King and the Great Hero, but regrettably little of that involves the gameplay. Let’s get to it! Reviews & Mini-Views The Cruel King and the Great Hero ($29.99) A whole lot of them came in over the weekend, and we’ve also got the usual list of expiring discounts to mull over. We’ve also got some new games to look at, though they aren’t a terribly exciting bunch. The list includes The Cruel King and the Great Hero, Young Souls, The Last Cube, Dungeon Color, and Ashwalkers. In today’s article, I’ve got a bunch of reviews and Mini-Views for you to check out. Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for March 14th, 2022.

Note the word “probably” and “similar” and “bloat” – these are all qualitative experiences over some 40 years not quantitative, it might not be relevant to your specific project management experience – do you have any contemporary in similar fields btw as the way you write comes across as low end hobby or non-commercial academic ie No time pressure to perform in profit expectation – the result of ambit claims from gung-ho programmers is so very infrequently the case. Ie It arose from my observation “Overkill h/w probably then attracts similar s/w overkill such as bloat by collecting stuff adding debug overhead (lazy programmers) – which fits your observation on functionality.” Inappropriate to try to twist my words – please read again my comment you replied to ! It seems you twisted my words to create a strawman like absurd paradigm ie False. I’m sorry your idea “Suggesting that debugging code which allows some awareness of what’s going on in a complicated system is unnecessary or even lazy is just short sighted” is completely disingenuous and mischievous as a jibe if indeed it is a critique of my observation – NB I didn’t say that as you exclaim ! Its all too common that gung-ho developers grew up (relatively recently) from uni with little debug experience in such systems environment due to uni attachment to higher level h/w than needed and perhaps hubris assuming their modules work together with no effort – so very often not the case :/ In any case the h/w is small and usually nowadays seems very cheap indeed, the issue is what development team you can manage and what resources they have at the ready and their collective experience, their labour costs are not comparatively trivial to hardware. Its all simple project based at this level depending on intent and that’s still a bit unclear whether experimental or engineering to a specification re functionality. Shannon, lets not be so oddly naive and simplistic re re ‘short sighted’ – it can also increase development cost by adding layers of unnecessary complexity and especially so if there are IP issues re imported modules as cost hurdle re license or re-write. Posted in ARM, hardware, Microcontrollers, Slider Tagged automation, ble, fcc, McDonald's, nRF52832 Post navigation From reverse engineering their famous fries to hacking the toys they give out with Happy Meals, there’s more to do at the local McDonald’s than get thrown out of the ball pit again. This isn’t the first time we’ve taken a peek behind the Golden Arches. Though we are curious to know just why they need so much hardware to indicate which table to take a particular order to it seems the number printed on the body of the device would be enough to do that. Not that we condone you swiping one of these things along with your Quarter Pounder with Cheese. Incidentally, this is the same chip used in the Adafruit Feather nRF52 Pro, so there’s already an easily obtainable development toolchain.Ī image of the backside of the PCB shows a wealth of labeled test points, and we imagine figuring out how to get one of these table markers doing your own bidding wouldn’t be too difficult. The Nordic nRF52832 features a 32-bit ARM Cortex M4F processor at 64 MHz with 512 KB flash and 64 KB SRAM. It turns out they are Bluetooth Low Energy beacons powered by the Nordic nRF52832 chipset, and include some unexpected features such as an accelerometer to detect falls. Thanks to a recent FCC filing pointed out to us by an anonymous tipster, we now know what kind of tech Ronald has packed into the electronic table markers (referred to as “tents” in McDonald’s parlance). In mere minutes your tray of nutritious delicious cheap food is brought to you by… well that’s still probably going to be an angsty teenager. You walk up, enter your order on a giant touch screen, and then take an electronic marker with you to an open table. Rather than relying on angsty human teenagers to take customer orders, an increasing number of McDonald’s locations are now using self-serve kiosks. If you’ve visited a McDonald’s recently, you might have noticed something of a tonal shift. StreamWriter writer = new is stopped at: " + DateTime.

So, here I don't stop the FileSystemWatcher at all, because as I don't have a direct interaction with the user, I don't know how to stop it.

Watcher.NotifyFilter = NotifyFilters.LastAccess Using (FileSystemWatcher watcher = new FileSystemWatcher($"C:\\Users\\wost\\AppData\\Roaming\\Sublime", _ext)) I have tried to debug my service and I found out that the error is coming from the fact that I don't stop the FileSystemWatcher.įor my console App, I have this code for the Watch() method: public void Watch() When I run it as a service, I can start and stop the service properly, but it won't detect any kind of event.

NET 5 shouldn't be used for Linux/Mac/Unix builds? I can't find any definitive docs on non-Windows usage, but thought that. FileSystemWatcher is a very powerful component, which allows us to connect to the directories and watch for specific changes within them, such as creation of new files, addition of subdirectories and renaming of files or subdirectories. The watcher apparently sets up just fine (code executes and console/logging messages are printed out) but none of the file system events are ever triggered, ie: Change/Create/Delete/Rename/etc nothing triggers those.Īre there any undocumented or "hidden" setup details needed to work with Linux, or is this not supported altogether and even though it's in. The problem though, I'm targeting Ubtuntu 18.04 lts and greater for running this. Based heavily off of the example on the MS docs which works fine on my windows machine. I'm trying to watch for changes in a specified directory using the FileSystemWatcher class. Fly into to your local Freebirds and pick up yourself a Late Bird card Collect 6. By the same token when you make a bet with the worst of it, where the odds are not in your favor, you have lost something, whether you actually win or lose the bet. If you say that the early bird catches the worm, you mean that the person who arrives first in a place is most likely to get what they want. The early bird gets the worm: foraging strategies of wild songbirds lead to the early discovery of food sources. Early Bird gets the worm, but the Late Bird gets the FREE burritos. Anytime you make a bet with the best of it, where the odds are in your favor, you have earned something on that bet, whether you actually win or lose the bet. Similarly, if you want to set your JAVA_HOME to point to JDK 8 you can add the following lines to your bash_profile file:Įxport JAVA_HOME= "$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8)"Įxport JAVA_HOME= `/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8` If you have installed Oracle JDK 1.6 then you can follow these steps to point the JAVA_HOME environment variable to that JDK:Ģ) Open ~/.bash_profile file and add the below line:Įxport JAVA_HOME= "$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.7)"Įxport JAVA_HOME= `/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.7`ģ) Close the terminal and open a new one, so that your JAVA_HOME change takes effect. How to set JAVA_HOME to JDK 1.7 in MAC OS X 10.10 Yosemite Just remember to use option -v to set JAVA_HOME to a particular version of JDB, of course, it's only useful if you have multiple JDK installed on your MacBook Pro. You can follow the same steps to set the JAVA_HOME environment variable. In this article, you will learn how to set the JAVA_HOME environment variable in different Mac OS X versions e.g.Īctually, the steps are exactly the same (if you are running on a Mac version greater than 10.6), you don't need to do anything special depending upon your version e.g Mavericks or Yosemite. Since Java is an optional package on the latest version of OS X, starting from OSX 10.7 (Lion), you need to either install Oracle JDK or choose this optional package. In order to use Java from the command line, you also need to define JAVA_HOME or JRE_HOME, many Java-based programs and tools use these environment variables to access Java e.g. In order to run Java, two things are most important, PATH and CLASSPATH. Mac's UNIX-like feature is added advantage because most of the real-world Java servers run on UNIX-based systems e.g. If you have set JAVA_HOME in UNIX then it's exactly similar to that.Īpple's Mac OS X is the second most widely used operating system after Windows and no surprise that many Java programmers use Macbook Pro for Java development. This will append export "JAVA_HOME=\$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.7)" into your bash_profile file. $ sudo ln -s /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.You can set JAVA_HOME in Mac OS X 10,10 or Yosemite by adding the following command in your ~/.bash_profile file, as shown below:Įxport JAVA_HOME= `/usr/libexec/java_home` (remember backticks)Įcho export "JAVA_HOME= \$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.7)" > ~/.bash_profile So, if you want to use the new java version, replace the /usr/bin/java symlink so that it points to /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/ugin/Contents/Home/bin/java instead: (which in turn points to /System/Library/Frameworks/amework/Versions/A/Commands/java, which is Apple's 1.6 version). In the terminal, it'll return /usr/bin/java. Oracle's installer puts java inside the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ugin. Atelier needs Java 1.8 to run, but manage diferent versions of Java can be tricky in OSXġ.8.0_60, x86_64: "Java SE 8" /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_60.jdk/Contents/Homeġ.6.0_65-b14-466.1, x86_64: "Java SE 6" /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Homeġ.6.0_65-b14-466.1, i386: "Java SE 6" /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home Yet, the company does take on projects outside the realm of literature. Witherspoon’s company has also announced an adaptation of “Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine.” Hello Sunshine is also home to three podcasts: “And Especially You” often features authors like Cheryl Strayed and Glennon Doyle. Hello Sunshine recently released an adaptation of Delia Owen’s “Where the Crawdads Sing” starring Daisy Edgar-Jones and is currently producing Taylor Jenkins Reid’s “Daisy Jones and the Six.” Ironically, both authors have been under fire recently Owens has been accused of involvement in the murder of a poacher and Reid is facing criticism for her portrayal of POC characters in her new novel “Carrie Soto Strikes Back.” Some hit titles include HBO’s “Big Little Lies” and Hulu’s “Little Fires Everywhere,” both of which cast Witherspoon in a lead role. Much of the company’s filmography adapts well-known books into movies or television shows. While the boxes are pricier than other book subscription boxes, all profit is donated to The Readership, paying it forward to the book-lover community.Ī post shared by Reese’s Book Club addition to her book club, Witherspoon founded Hello Sunshine, a media company dedicated to storytelling and discovering content that celebrates women. Right now, the site is offering a summer box, a beach bundle, a cozy box and a create-your-own box. Reese’s Book Club sells boxed bundles on their website as well, complete with your choice of book and a vast variety of fun accessories and snacks. The club has worked with Buick to create an in-vehicle audiobook app, with Havenly for reading room decor and with Simi to curate book-club-inspired wines. Reese’s Book Club has also collaborated with several companies to create special products. All profits made through the book club’s affiliate links are sent straight to The Readership, an effort to champion diverse writers, support booksellers and increase access to books.

A post shared by Reese Witherspoon most know Reese Witherspoon for her acting, something slightly less-known is the actress’ passion for reading. The ANBU visibly jerked as he heard his real name. "Only now then you tell me?" she complained.Īnko grumbled some more, then looked at Inu who still had his mask on. "The masks aren't stuffy if you lace them with chakra, Anko," Hiruzen supplied helpfully.Īnko looked wounded. Neko allowed herself to offer a low chuckle at her friend's antics. "Whew! My beautiful face is finally outta that stuffy mask!" she exclaimed cheerily. Not that she acted like one in the first place, but well. Without her mask, she was off-duty so she did not have to act like the ideal ANBU anymore. Hebi followed his command happily, swiping the mask off her face and letting it clatter on the Hokage's table. There was a sharp withdrawal of breath at Hiruzen's order. She carried no weapons, but if one looked closer, he or she could have seen the evil glints of multiple sharp senbon hidden in the ANBU's kunai pouch. She also had purple hair, but it was tied up in a spiky ponytail. The snake-masked ANBU twitched, betraying her surprise. Step up here." He tapped his wooden desk and Inu walked up in front of the Hokage. The ANBU with gravity-defying silver hair and a tanto strapped to his back stiffened up considerably and stepped up guardedly. There were two others apart from Kitsune and Neko. "Here it is, sir," she said respectfully, laying down a slightly old, yellowed scroll. She was dressed in the normal black and grey ANBU gear, the only two things noticeable about her being her standard katana strapped to her back instead of a tanto, and her long, cascading purple hair. "Neko has the scroll."Ī cat-masked ANBU stepped forward with a polite bow. We eliminated the targets," he stated calmly. Hidden were two wakizashi as a trump card in case something happened to his chakra and other weapons. At his hip was a silver chokuto, and he also carried the standard ANBU tanto. Its hilt was black with tiny white diamond patterns and a small golden fox symbol. He had a katana strapped to his back - its blade was ebony black, instilling fear in the hearts of his enemies as the katana sliced through the air with silent grace and lethal force. He was dressed in black ANBU gear, with a white porcelain mask depicting a fox. "Report?"Ī fox-masked ANBU stepped forward. You are back already, faster than expected," the aged Hokage smiled. SilverKatana does not own Naruto, and never will. Me: *pokes Itachi and gets ignored* Itachi-kun is mean =.= If you like a fanfiction where Naruto constantly shows off his skills, this is probably not for you. However, he won't be flaunting his skills. Maybe you'll disagree with me and think SoK is amazing.A/N: This is a godlike Naruto fanfiction where he is an undercover ANBU. but I also recognize that it's pretty popular in a lot of circles. I hesitate to recommend it, given that it has a terrible habit of dipping into stupid fanon like Naruto having suffered regular beatings from the villagers in his youth and making most of the cast unlikable assholes in a misguided effort to show that no one is perfect, that the world is complicated, etc. I don't like Shadows of Konoha much at all even if the author churns out some damn fine prose. I'll probably tackle this one after I get through Ghost, but that's going to take a while. I've not read Lost soul myself, but it was recommended to me once as being a pretty good stab at a Root-raised Naruto. I was on here complaining not too long ago that Hurricane Suite is way too repetitive for my liking, but Dr Snakes MD does have a big shakeup of the status quo about halfway through that really made me start coming around to it. He eventually makes the leap to ANBU/Root (and I wouldn't really consider this a spoiler, as Hiruzen and Danzo take an interest in him pretty early on in the story so there's only one way that can really go). Hurricane Suite puts Naruto on the fast track, getting a promotion to Chuunin while the rest of the Konoha 12 are still genin. It plays up Naruto as a child soldier who sees life through the lens of completing his mission, but he's not a total edge lord or a one-dimensional drone so far. I'm liking what I have read of Ghost so far. It's not *quite* on par with my all-time favorites (The Girl from Whirlpool and One Small Kindness), but it comes close and comfortably sits at third. I'll second Life in Konoha's ANBU as the best of the ANBU Naruto stories. The first player ship is Gradius 's own Vic Viper ship, while the second ship is the Lord British space destroyer (sometimes called the "RoadBritish") which is based on the F-16 Fighting Falcon. Most prominently, the game switches between horizontal and vertical stages, one of the first games of its kind and was also one of the first shoot'em ups to include cooperative gameplay. The game is noteworthy for a number of reasons. In territories outside Japan, the arcade and MSX versions of Gradius were released under the title Nemesis. In addition, the NES version was re-released for Virtual Console, NES Classic Edition and the PC Engine version on the PlayStation Network. (Saturn, PlayStation and computer versions are all packaged with Gradius II as Gradius Deluxe Pack). More recently, ports to the Sega Saturn, PlayStation, and certain mobile phones were created. Originally released as an arcade game, its popularity resulted in ports to the: ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, NES/Famicom, MSX, Master System, Sharp X68000, Amstrad CPC and PC Engine. This innovation allowed for deeper tactics on the part of the player and for greater freedom of weapon choice rather than relying on the pre-determined power ups common in other games in the genre. In general, the more useful 'power ups' are towards the right hand side of the bar, so the player may decide to stock up on pickups until the better item is available. The player can then select the weapon highlighted if they want it. Collecting one of these will shift the selection cursor along the weapon bar at the bottom of the screen. During the game, many enemy craft leave behind icons or 'pick ups' when destroyed. The first true Gradius game to introduce the concept of the 'weapon bar'. In 2002, Scramble appeared on GBA as one of the titles featured in Konami Collector's Series: Arcade Advanced as well as later Konami game compilations for PlayStation and Nintendo DS. ( Gradius Advance) Scramble has been ported to other platforms including MSX and Commodore 64. Although there is no canonical relationship between Scramble and the Gradius series, Scramble is implied to be a spiritual predecessor to the series, evident by its appearance in flashbacks during Gradius introduction sequences. An early horizontal-scrolling shooter from which gameplay elements of the Gradius series were inspired. |
