Apple arcade fantasian6/7/2023 At one point, I was comparing the characters to Final Fantasy X and assigning them to their FFX counterparts. Fans of Fantasian commonly refer to it as Final Fantasy Fantasian, and the resemblance is uncanny. Neal’s latest obsession has been The Last Remnant, a Square Enix title that greatly reminds us of Final Fantasy (specifically X for me, but that’s the only Final Fantasy game I’ve played). My husband, Neal, has been playing a lot of remastered titles that originally came out in the late 90’s/early 2000’s, and Fantasian fits right in this category. This experience makes Fantasian play like a regular console game, aside from the second screen on the table that occasionally draws my eyes when a bright graphic flashes. After about 15 hours of playing on the iPad with the controller, I figured out how to mirror my iPad to the television. I still don’t understand how people play games like this on their phone, but you have that option as well. The touch controls are great, so if that’s what you prefer you shouldn’t have any issues playing Fantasian right on your iPad. Much like computer games, I was only able to use the touch controls for a few hours before I started searching how to connect my PS4 controller to my iPad. Moving to the gameplay, you have two options: play using the touch screen or connect a controller. Whenever I’m in this area, I’m brought back to my childhood days of playing old Sonic games and Minesweeper on the computer at my Nana’s house. Another area has a backing track that I swear someone took a recording of the old internet connection noises and added music on top of it. At one point, I could taste the salt water, it’s that realistic. The track is most definitely a real recording of seagulls on the beach. In the harbor of the city of water Vence (which is clearly such a hard nod to Venice – I always read Vencian as Venician), there is a track of seagulls calling. There are a few areas where the background noises made me especially nostalgic. To see this kind of immersion in a miniature set and pair it with video game exploration, it is truly unlike anything I’ve ever seen.įantasian’s score is catchy and immersive, with different tracks playing in different areas of the map. The developer studio brought onboard veterans who had worked on miniature set projects such as Godzilla films and Attack on Titan. The details of the areas are exquisite, from the different biomes to the large sprawling cities to intricate bed chambers. Anyway, back to Fantasian.)Ī quick Google search confirmed by suspicion, the backgrounds to all of the areas of Fantasian are hand-crafted dioramas, and there are almost 160 of them. George Lucas is revolutionary, and the most passionate film maker I’ve ever seen. It’s honestly a small miracle that Star Wars even exists at all. It’s called the Empire of Dreams: The Story of the Star Wars Trilogy, and it’s amazing. (Side note, I highly recommend the documentary for any Star Wars/movie buffs. I had also just watched the making of Star Wars documentary on Disney+, so I knew talented people could do amazing things with dioramas. When I reached the first forest, I knew I recognized the look of the trees from one of my middle school diorama projects. By contrast, the main character and townsfolk had a familiar JRPG look. The town was beautifully created, but it was unlike anything I’ve ever seen in a video game. Right away, I thought something seemed strange about the background graphics. I’m going to start with the graphics because that is what immediately caught my attention. While the story may be a little cliché, Fantasian is well executed and continues to keep me intrigued. From the graphics and music to the character design and gameplay, it hits all the right spots. The title I’ve been obsessed with for over a week now is Fantasian.įantasian does so many things right. For those who haven’t played the game yet, or struggle with context clues, I won’t hold you in suspense any longer. I’ve played quite a few mobile games throughout the years, so I was shocked to find a Final Fantasy like RPG exclusive to Apple Arcade. After spending some time on Apple Arcade for the last column, I decided to finally open a game I had downloaded months ago, and boy it was a doozy.

Smile train6/7/2023 How is your organization using feedback from the people you serve? We also train medical professionals in cleft care across disciplines. We primarily serve people with clefts in low- and middle-income countries and their families. Who are the people you serve with your mission? We shared information about our current feedback practices. While mission-trip-based INGOs had to cease operations in March 2020, between that month and June 2022, we sponsored more than 186,000 life-changing cleft surgeries in 75 countries (77% of our pre-pandemic capacity), donated more than $3M in PPE to our local medical partners, and reached 31,000+ healthcare professionals around the world with both in-person and virtual education and training programs, among many other accomplishments. The advantages of our model were made clear during the COVID-19 pandemic. When Smile Train was founded we were only able to offer the initial surgery, but as we have expanded and our resources have grown, we are now very happy to be able to enable not only free follow-up surgeries, but also lifesaving nutritional support, orthodontics, speech therapy, psychosocial counseling, and many other vital, comprehensive cleft care programs at an ever-increasing number of our partner hospitals.

Hue party pc6/7/2023 The Sync app on the other hand supports multi-monitor setups (tested on Windows, not sure about Mac), you can select which monitors are part of the sync setup. I’m not sure the Sync Box would play well with non-16:9 resolutions, and even if it did, you’d probably need two Sync Boxes and two entertainment areas with separate individual lights to cover 2 monitors. If you bend some of it for the sides, it will not handle the sides separately like the upcoming strips would do.Īs far as I know, if you really want to have the two sides properly sync with the colors on the side of the screens, you’ll need two other light sources to handle the sides separately, for example two extra Gradient Lightstrips cut to shorter lengths, or two Hue Gradient Signe. You could setup a standard Gradient Lightstrip horizontally behind your ultrawide monitor, but it will be synchronized as a horizontal bar. I suppose the upcoming lightstrips for monitors will behave the same. The Lightstrip Hue Play Gradients designed to mount behind a screen are an exception, they cannot be localized in 3D and will always be assumed to be behind the screen, but they’ll be handled as 3 separate segments properly aligned with the top and both sides of the screen. This means if you bend a lightstrip (or separate it into segments with 3rd party extension connectors and cables), the system will not let you orient these segments as separate bars in 3D space, it will stay as a single straight bar and you’ll have to compromise the colors locations for some segments. The thing to remember when planning an entertainment area is that lights sources are localized in 3D space, bulbs are points, and lightstrips are straight bars that can be parallel, perpendicular, or vertical. (via )įeatured, Hardware Gaming, Hue Play Gradient LightStrip, don’t have a Hue Sync box, so I’m not sure if all the features are the same, but the entertainment area configuration is the same, and both the app and the Sync Box basically just take the colors of the screen and streams the corresponding colors to the lights configured in the corresponding entertainment area according to their 3D localization (configured in the mobile app), so I suspect the result is exactly the same. It remains to be seen when exactly the official announcement will be made and when the new products will launch. Philips Hue Play Gradient Lightstrip 24 – 27 inch Multi-Monitor-Setup for 259,99 Euro.Philips Hue Play Gradient Lightstrip 32 – 34 inch for 169,99 Euro.Philips Hue Play Gradient Lightstrip 24 – 27 inch for 149,99 Euro.The small gaps on the back of the monitors should have no real influence on the illumination of the background.Īnd I can already tell you the list prices for the light strips. Youll see something new or different each time you play. So it is not simply a matter of two light strips connected to each other, but of specially adapted individual parts that are then apparently firmly connected to each other with a cable. House Partys unique AI and scripting system allows the game to shape and mold its content around your choices. Its a slow starter, but give it a chance and Hue blossoms into a stunning, fun, yet challenging puzzle game with some quick platforming to break it up. The solution: the not necessarily very flexible light strip is interrupted between the monitors. As I was now able to find out, Philips Hue will also offer a solution for multi-display setups – more precisely for desks with three displays of 24 to 27 inches standing next to each other. First of all, in addition to the Philips Hue Play Gradient Lightstrip for monitors with a diagonal of 24 to 27 inches, there will also be a slightly longer version for screens with 32 to 34 inches.īut that is not all. The community immediately complained that especially in the gaming sector, most users probably prefer larger screens.

Call of duty black ops cold war pc6/7/2023 Treyarch will have to stabilize Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War soon to satisfy these frustrated fans. Current-gen players spent $70 on the game, so being unable to reliably play it for nearly a week is certainly a valid cause for criticism. Despite its shaky start, Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War has become one of the most beloved titles in the history of the Call of Duty Franchise and enjoys. Having said that, this situation definitely raises questions as to why exactly a game that released only a year ago is having such fundamental problems. This is very unlikely to be the case, but it is an interesting reflection of how gamers view Treyarch Studios and publisher Activision. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is the direct sequel to the original Black Ops, bringing signature combat to life through a conspiracy-laden Cold War. Some players are even suggesting that the update's glitchy and unstable aspects were integrated intentionally to funnel players into buying Vanguard. This means that these crashing problems have been persisting for six days, which is, unsurprisingly, not sitting very well with fans, especially considering how much Black Ops Cold War Season Six was hyped up via its roadmap. Trying a ‘Scan and Repair’ might solve the issue." Treyarch Studios reassured fans that the issue was being investigated, although no fixes have been implemented at the time of writing. Reportedly, an error message appears upon the crashing that reads " Unfortunately, the application has unexpectedly stopped working. Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War (PC) - Steam Gift - EUROPE in stock 44.03 Visit store Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Cd Key EU more in store 44.97 Visit store Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War - Ultimate Edition more in store 59.97 Visit store Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War - Standard Edition GREENCODE more in store 76. The patch was meant to tune weapon performance and begin the integration of synchronized progression for Vanguard, but many players on PC have been unable to experience these features thanks to these consistent crashes. Unfortunately for these fans, it would appear that Call of Duty's 2020 outing is experiencing some pretty major crashing issues related to the December 6 update, according to DualShockers. Related: Cold War Forsaken Zombies: How to Play In The Arcade Even though Call of Duty: Vanguard was released just last month, many players are still coming back to Cold War for additions like the Zombies: Forsaken map. Still, the game brought with it a host of new content for Warzone, the free-to-play battle royale component of the series, and its standard multiplayer mode contained the same fast-paced, addicting moment-to-moment gameplay that the franchise is known for.

Localizer images ct6/6/2023 “I explained to Russ the basics of stereotaxis,” recalls Nelson. Nelson had started out as a general surgeon and had scrubbed in on several stereotactic surgery cases, which were plagued by imprecision. Brown was casting about for a research topic, and Nelson took note of his interests and strengths. “A big, tall, redheaded 3 rd year medical student came down to my office one day,” reminisces Nelson. Nelson was a physician scientist who tirelessly pursued innovative solutions to medical problems he, together with Jim Sorenson, PhD, and Bob Kruger, PhD, laid the foundation for what would become the Utah Center for Advanced Imaging Research (UCAIR). “I needed to find a research elective,” he recalls, “or my fourth year of medical school would be filled with numerous clinical rotations that didn’t appeal to me.”Ī colleague told him to visit Jim Nelson, MD, a radiologist who was doing interesting work two floors down in the basement of University Hospital. 1Īs a third year medical student at the U in 1978, Brown realized he preferred math and computers to direct patient care. He marvels at how an elegant mathematical solution has led to life-saving neurosurgical interventions for more than a million patients. Since his days at the U when he invented the device, Brown has personally met a handful of people whose loved ones have had neurosurgery guided by the N-localizer. Yet it’s something Russ Brown, MD, PhD, a University of Utah School of Medicine graduate and inventor of the N-localizer, has had the pleasure of hearing. “You’re the guy who saved my wife’s life,” is a phrase few researchers expect to hear in their lifetimes. The N-localizer forever changed the world of neurosurgery. Closeup image of the Brown-Roberts-Wells stereotactic system, the first device to incorporate the N-localizer that was invented by a third-year medical student, Russ Brown, MD, PhD, working with researchers in the Department of Radiology in 1978. |
