![]() This is where many of the most iconic games came from, and there’s hardly a bad one in the batch. Items added a bit of skill and planning to the game otherwise mostly being dictated by the roll of the die, and the minigame selection was not only large but also extremely creative. ![]() Want to see cowboy Donkey Kong or pirate Yoshi? This is the only game to do it. Plus, in a touch that is criminally locked to this one game, every character has a unique outfit to fit the theme of the board being played. Prior to Mario Party 2, there were no items, no duel or battle minigames, and less varied and dynamic boards. Basically everything fans love about the series was introduced in this game. Despite less than a year of development time, this sequel somehow knew what problems the first game had, where it could expand, and what new features would be the most fun. In the case of Mario Party 2, they changed only the essentials from the rough draft that was the first game and created an all-time masterpiece. ![]() This is a methodology that can result in some of the best games the company has produced, as well as some of the worst. Nintendo is a company that doesn’t like to do the same thing twice. Whether you’re an old-school fan or new to the series, there’s no better way to experience the best Mario Party has to offer. Boards from the original trilogy and games from the entire series are all brought back here, from across the entire franchise, but now with the benefit of much-improved controls, online play, and a great roster of Mario characters to play as. Mario Party Superstars does what fans have been asking for for years and ditches all the weird board gimmicks, different dice types, and stinker minigames and looks back at all the great ones they’ve done and brings them forward onto the Switch. This game should’ve happened years ago, but better late than never. After Super Mario Party came close to recapturing the feel of the traditional board game style that made the older games the hits they were, and Mario Party: The Top 100 bringing back the best minigames but without that element whatsoever, this title finally brings together the best ideas of those two games into one dream package. The only game that could top even the most nostalgia-blind Mario Party fans who adore the N64 classics above all others is the one that combines the best of all of them into one new and modern package. The best multiplayer games on Nintendo Switch.The best Nintendo Switch games for 2021.Here’s how we broke down ranking all the best Mario Party games from best to worst. While some are held in extremely high regard, there are more than a few that are seen as downright atrocious. In the over two decades since we were first invited to this crazy party with Mario and friends, there have been nearly 20 different Mario Party games released. Some sequels are more similar to the original formula of traversing a map via dice rolls, collecting coins and items, playing minigames, and purchasing stars to determine the winner, while others only vaguely resemble that well-loved structure. Mario Party Superstars - Announcement Trailer | E3 2021ĭating back to the debut on the N64, Mario Party games have appeared on just about every Nintendo console released since. Read our full Mario Party Superstars review ![]() Staring at bright white lights at night causes unnecessary and unhealthy strain on your eyes. Night mode controls the light emanating from your screen, adjusting the level of blues that emanate when the system detects your environment is darker. Essentially, it inverts the light background and dark text scheme for a dark background with white text. Let’s first discuss the difference between dark mode and night mode.ĭark mode for Mac turns the background and interface for many native apps to a darker color scheme, usually with a black or very dark gray background. Here, we’ll discuss how Mac and MacBook night shift works, how to control night shift, how to set up a new wallpaper that’s night mode (and dark mode) friendly, and how to enable dark mode on some of your favorite apps. Many popular web apps like YouTube, Reddit, and Google Chrome now offer versions of Dark Mode, which all of us should use at night. So be careful trying to download third-party software with Mac blue light filters - better stick with the native Apple offering, which is actually pretty simple and effective. None of them are featured in the App Store though, as they breach Apple’s sandbox requirements. In the last few years, more and more Night Shift apps have flooded the market. In fact, Night Shift and Dark Mode are activated separately but could (and should) totally be used in tandem. Although Dark Mode is much easier on your eyes at night as well, it’s not a blue light filter for Mac. It’s different from the Dark Mode that was released with macOS Mojave. ![]() What Mac Night Shift does is it helps alleviate the strain on your eyes by reducing the time you look at bright screens when the environment around you is darker.īasically, Night Mode for Mac is like a blue light filter. One of the features users applauded with the introduction of macOS Sierra in 2016 was Night Shift for Mac. Juggle desktop backgrounds with Wallpaper Wizard app. For now, I’ll keep posting about My Precious, I mean my reading. What’s up for the next half of 2021? I’m not sure. It’s put some things into perspective and eased my heart and mind a bit. Using the way back machine (my old blogs, journals, photos, etc.) has helped me make a little sense of where I am right now. That reminds me that I need to write a post about THAT! “Top Ten Positives about the Covid Pandemic (no matter where you are on the political scale)” That will have a link next week. One more positive outcome of the Covid pandemic is that more people are accepting of my decision to stay at home, away from people. It’s taken me a long time to realize and accept that and I’m not going back. I’m happiest and most productive with fewer group activities, less social obligation. Get a job, join a club, something.” That’s just not my style. And before you start to think, “You should actually connect with the world, Michelle. As a retired homeschool mom and housewife, it makes me feel more connected with the world. And I’m beginning to get better organized at posting. ![]() It helps me keep on track, remember what I’ve read, and connect those books with other ideas. I still enjoy writing about what I’m reading and sharing it here. I wouldn’t exactly call it a traditional book blog, but that’s the general idea. At first, I continued with the theme of “random thoughts,” but it quickly evolved itself to focus on the books I’m reading, and my thoughts and ideas connected to those books. My new blog, the selfhosted one you are reading now, was started in 2018. I’m not much of a writer but I do have somethings rolling around in my head that I’d like to get out to the world, not just in my journal.Īnd here we are over six years later and not much has changed. I think I’ll just post it here…sort of anonymously…and see where it goes. Besides, sometimes I’d rather not know if my friends and family disagree with my thinking. I use my personal Facebook page as a scrapbook and have it printed at the end of each year, so I don’t want a load of political and philosophical ramblings all through it. That’s when I started Roadrunner Musings. With all that spare time, I began to broaden my own education, reading and studying more myself, and I felt like I needed a place to share more of that journey instead of my kids’ homeschool one. My sons were growing up and moving on to their own lives, undirected by me. I posted pictures and quips instead, to document where we’d been and what we were up to.īut then something else happened. Paragraphs on Facebook were a waste of my energy. Most people these days don’t read anything more than a few words anyway. ![]() I just scrolled back through those posts and could see all the places we’d been, all the books we had read together, and the conversations we’d had.Īs the kids got older, and Facebook took the place of my blogging, I used that to communicate more often and lost interest in blogging. ![]() I enjoyed doing it and it brought me much peace of mind in those moments when I felt like we weren’t really DOING anything. It certainly was that and a great way to show friends and family what we were up to since we didn’t have school functions to go to or report cards to brag about. I’d read in a homeschool forum (you remember forums, don’t you?) that blogging was a great way to document the journey if you weren’t using a traditional curriculum of textbooks and written tests. My first was pre-social media and consisted mostly of what my kids were doing, where we went, what we were reading, etc. It wasn’t that long ago, only 2015, that I started that blog. I decided to use some of it as a post here, so I copied and pasted a few things together. I thought, “You know, I should go back to my old blog and look around, see where I’ve been.” I did, and I found something interesting. It all started when I didn’t think I’d have anything to write about today. The fascinating things you learn when you simply type a few words into an internet search engine!

We no longer see the amount of data sent or received live. It’s annoying.Īnd with this new graphical interface the amount of info given on the screen has been reduced. The tunnel is disconnected few seconds after the phone screen is off. The previous version used to work great for so many years, then suddenly this update came out, looks like just a change for the sake of changing. It doesn’t even matter if it’s on TCP 443 or UDP 1194. I check the same server on my laptop and it connects without issues. When I check the logs it just freezes at some point after sending the tunnel encryption algorithms to be used. I need to reboot my iPhone, sometimes even twice. Recently it also happens when I turn off airplane mode in the morning when I wake up, again can’t connect. Mostly happens when I’ve turned off cellular data and using wifi, when I activate cellular again I’m unable to connect to the VPN server through cellular. I often encounter issues when the app can’t connect to the VPN server at all. Since the new graphical interface came, it acts so poorly.

I am now forced to abandon my VPN provider so that I can download a client that does not require openvpn. Heads should roll - that is how serious this is for those of us who have built our jobs around the ability to communicate through a VPN. I cannot understand and refuse to accept any excuse for why this update does not work. As an attorney, I rely on a VPN for nearly everything I do - which means that this failed update had seriously compromised my ability to do my job. After the recent update, however, I am disconnected from my VPN multiple times per day and the connection (when it works) has resulted in a profound decrease in network speed.

So when I first looked at JPEGmini Pro, I wondered how different it was compared to the JPEG engine used in Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, the two programs I use the most to extract images. In this review, I will be exploring the Lightroom version of the JPEGmini Pro, which seamlessly integrates into my workflow without adding any complexity or unnecessary overhead. What’s different between the regular version of JPEGmini and the Pro version, is that the latter allows processing of images up to 50 MP in resolution while utilizing all available processor cores, delivering up to 8x faster performance. In addition, the Pro version is a must-have if you want to integrate the JPEG compression engine right into Lightroom. Installing JPEGmini Pro Lightroom Plugin.Installing the regular version of JPEGmini Pro is a breeze. You purchase the product, download the small installer package, which then downloads and installs the bigger package from JPEGmini’s website. JPEGmini works both on Macs and PCs, but the below instructions are for PCs specifically. Please note that you might receive a security warning asking about whether you want to install the software or not, so after you click “Install”, the download process then starts. #Jpegmini server alternative softwareĪfter the installer launches, you will be presented with a license agreement and once you agree to it, the software will ask for the activation code. #Jpegmini server alternative registrationĪfter the registration windows are closed, you will be presented with a clean app interface that looks like this:Ģ) Installing JPEGmini Pro Lightroom Plugin Type in the activation code, click “Next” and you will be good to go. Unfortunately, the installation process for Lightroom is not as simple and involves some manual steps after the installation is complete. To be honest, I was rather surprised to see the following in the README file that gives the these installation instructions: At the end of the process, you will be presented with a README text file, which outlines the process of manually installing the plugin for Lightroom. Copy the file jpegmini.lrplugin to your hard drive.Open Lightroom and select File > Plug-in Manager.Click the “Add” button below the plug-in list.Locate the jpegmini.lrplugin on your hard drive, and click “Add Plug-in”.Pretty bad instructions if you ask me, especially for someone who is not computer savvy. First of all, the first line states “copy the file jpegmini.lrplugin to your hard drive”, which is nonsense. The installer does not indicate where that “file” is physically located and after the installation is complete, it is already in the computer. Second, although I was able to locate the correct folder under “C:\Program Files (x86)\ICVT\JPEGminiLightroomPlugin”, the mentioned “jpegmini.lrplugin” turns out to be a folder, not a file. Third, it beats me why the company provides an installer, if all it does is copy files to a folder on your computer. It would have been much better if there was a simple ZIP file with the folder contents, along with proper instructions on how to install the plugin. Here is what you need to do to get the Lightroom Plugin to work: #Jpegmini server alternative how to ![]()
![]() This is a generic dance festival plot for a proscenium theatre. lxxplot format which can be opened by LXSeries applications running on various types of hardware and operating systems. See Lighting Design: The Process for the thinking behind each of the stages of the design.Below is a list of example files that you can download. ![]() Purpose: A list of the lighting changes required during the show. On clearance, house lights out and crossfade to light through windowĮnd of scene 1, check down to doorway as they exit The complexity of this will vary according to the needs of the show. LIGHTING PLAN (UK) known as the LIGHT PLOT in the US When set, general state for scene 2 – dawnĢ. Purpose: A layout (in plan view, from above) showing the individual lanterns, the bars on which they’re hung, their dimmer number, colour and any focus notes, drawn to scale. The complexity of your lighting plan depends on how much time you have, who you need to communicate with, and the complexity of the show. Stage 1 – Once you have the cue list and a plan of the set, and have a clear idea of what is needed for the show and what the lighting needs to do, you can draw a pre-plan. This is a roughly-drawn plan view of the stage, showing the areas that you’ve broken the stage into, and any pieces of set that need lighting. Use arrows to show where you want light to come from in each area.ĭon’t worry about which type of lantern you want to use at this stage. Stage 2 – The next stage is to draw a sketch of the rig, with arrows placed on lighting bars (or in other potential lighting positions) showing where you need lanterns. Again, don’t worry about types of lantern at this stage. Stage 3 – Once all parts of the show are covered and you have lanterns in place to do all of those jobs, you can start allocating equipment to each job. Use coloured pens or other codes to identify which jobs are to be shared by a number of lanterns, so that you can see how many lanterns of each type you need. For example, the lanterns doing the general wash from a particular location should all be the same, to ensure it looks completely even. All of the hard-edged spots that appear on stage together, should be the same type / wattage of lantern so they look identical. In the days before computers, the options were limited. You had a number of different plastic templates to choose from, which contained many of the popular symbols. Drawing the plan involved marking out the lighting bars first in pencil, then drawing the symbols. ![]() Computer-based plan drafting has simplified the process considerably, and also automated much of the paperwork that is associated with a lighting design. The standard software for theatrical lighting plan drawing is either Vectorworks or WYSIWYG. Both packages are expensive, and have learning curves. You can also use Capture software to produce a lighting plan. A more straightforward option is LXFree, which enables the production of a perfectly good plan for smaller projects. When drawing the symbols onto the plan ensure you leave enough space around the lantern so that when rigged, it can be focussed in the appropriate direction, and to allow the focusser to get their hands wherever is necessary. See Lighting Rigging Positions for more information on how to represent lanterns rigged on floor stands, bars and booms on a plan Essentials: Title Block It’s not necessary to be absolutely accurate about the angle the lantern should be pointed in, as that happens as part of the focus, but pointing the symbol in roughly the right direction will aid you (and your crew) in seeing what is what. This box should be included, and shows the name of the production, the venue, the scale, your name, the date of the drawing and any revision number. KeyĮach symbol used on the plan should be shown, alongside an indication of the instrument it represents. |
