Apparently, DECORATE items will retain their thing specials, not regular item actors. I dont remember I guess you'll have to test it to find outĪh, thanks for the tip Worst! I think there were a couple of things I'd given up on in the past because I couldn't get those repeating thing specialsĭidn't even realise there were two versions of the command.īy the way, I found the thread on the ZDoom forums where I got the idea that this was a bug. Which one the one that had no problems was. SetThingSpecial was a bit unstable in 1.08. I recall that either Thing_SetSpecial.or. SetThingSpecial (tid, special, arg0, arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4) Script 50 (void) //Thing special 80, arg0 = 50 on sphere tagged as 666 Thing_SetSpecial (tid, special, arg0, arg1, arg2) I checked the vanilla Hexen source, and the latest ZDoom SVN, and in both, the thing special is cleared from the actor after executing it.Īs for Thing_SetSpecial and SetThingSpecial, you'd basically use it like this: I'm sure when I tried to use it that setting the thingspecial wasn't very successful. In my experience the actual bug/lackofsupport comes when you try to do just that. I'd agree with Worst about this being correct behaviour and it being easy to get around. Location: off the grid, but still fighting for the users! I'd like to see that ZDoom bug report (the special is cleared in zdoom 2.5.0 aswell) you must be mistaking it for something similar. I dont think i've ever said that this was a bug. Its not a bug, it's been this way since forever, and changing it now, would have effect on more than a few wads Huh, are you sure? I'm almost certain I saw this as a bug report on the ZDoom forums a while back and it was fixed? Didn't you even claim yourself, that this was indeed a bug? :S Only Sector action things are repeatable by default. If you want it to be repeatable, you have to use Thing_SetSpecial or SetThingSpecial on the pickup or whatever actor it is after the execution of the special. ![]() Changing this would potentially break a lot of maps.

![]() ![]() She’s found in cryo-stasis in a ghost-fleet and supposedly was a mech pilot for an ancient space empire thousands of years ago. Not an archetype I generally like, but somehow they make it work here. As more Pact enemies get deflector shields mid-game (or when those damned Pact support mechs show up), Black Jack loses a lot of its punch and gets reduced to drawing fire and trying to pick off nearby targets that have had their armor weakened by stronger units Battleship grade laser cannon, pulse beams, and assault rifle. Liberation Day makes her a bit more complex She literally starts going insane with jealousy over Chigara as the romance-on-rails between Chi and the captain plays out.īlack Jack is an all-purpose mech. Like her mech, she could be a lot worse, but she could also be better. Asaga is the first pilot you get along with Chigara. Giving all of the characters numbered flight suits is pretty spoilerific, so I’m assuming you can get Cosette at some point. Not my thing at all, but she makes for an interesting villain. Toxic chemicals from the mining colony she’s from stunted her growth and, combined with her horrible and traumatic childhood and adolescence, made her completely crazy. One of the first mechs you get, its repair capabilities, disable attack, and deflector shield generation make it invaluable. She’s a forced romance route for story reasons in Liberation Day, which many fans grumble about. Except she’s a loli with crippling self-doubt always hoping for validation from the main character, which makes her pretty obnoxious. She’s supposed to be a brilliant mechanic, and from a gameplay standpoint, this bears out nicely, as she’s the one actually doing the upgrades to your units that you purchase. Chigara’s Asaga’s best friend and one of the first pilots you get. The deflector shield projection is useful, of course, and the shotgun is helpful to finish off any enemies your better combat units have left near dead, but it’s not enough to make me not hate Claude. Her utility mech has a few nice features, such as the gravity gun, which is good if you can use it to draw an enemy mech between Asaga and Icari. She’s the worst the game has to offer in this regard, unless you’re really into that sort of thing. Now, because this is a waifu game, it’s only fair that I rank the characters from dumpster to Best Girl.Ĭlaude is a trash tier waifu, who’s “UwU command me captain” shtick is old from the moment it shows up. None of the character paths had been set yet, and one character path ends up being fixed for story purposes in Liberation Day. ![]() I’ve found a doc with the under-the-hood effect that your choices make, but they don’t appear to have much bearing on how things actually play out story-wise in Mask of Arcadius. While Liberation Day updates the actual gameplay of the battles in a pretty satisfactory way, it makes the VN aspect of Mask of Arcadius something of a shaggy dog story. Unfortunately, Sunrider is an episodic game, and Mask of Arcadius only contains the first two episodes. On the face of it, I actually really like the story, but Sunrider uses post-Eva and 21st century waifu tropes for most its characters I would definitely prefer the “tough dames” of the older real-robot mech genre or at least the mil-sf aesthetic that Power DOLLS went for. ![]() The Visual Novel portion of the game is a mixed bag. Still, it’s fun and scratches an itch for turn-based mech space combat. The cutscenes of the attacks get old fast, and it would have been nice to be able to disable them more easily turning on “skip mode” does it, but it can only be toggled in the battle if a character has a line of story dialogue come up during the fight. The later fights often tend to be “pick a flank, try to crush it, sweep up or down on the other side, then deal with reinforcements as they come.” Early missions with fewer mechs and enemy “bosses” may be a bit more interesting and flexible than the later large fleet battles. Variances in the missions are more based on when and where enemy reinforcement come from. Since all missions are in space, with the exception of a mission where sharing a hex with an asteroid reduces your chance of being hit, there’s no effect of the map on strategies. Each mech has its strengths and weaknesses and utility which will determine how you should use them in your strategy. Mechanically, it’s ultra-lite compared to a game like Power Dolls, though it uses the similar combination of action points that are used to move and perform attacks. It’s space opera with mechs, except your mech pilots are basically a growing harem.įunnily enough, the wargame portion of Sunrider is brutally hard. It’s an interesting hybrid of Visual Novel waifu game and turn-based tactical. Recently an online friend who knew I enjoyed wargames and weeb shit recommended Sunrider: Mask of Arcadius to me. ![]() ![]() ![]() There’s a bunch to point out on this next page. Once again, hit Edit right next to the image to bring up more options. If you were working with multiple panoramic images at once, you’d be able to see them here, but we’re not in this case, so just the one is fine. You should see an image resembling the screenshot below, where the panoramic image from the previous step is clearly visible. You’ll be prompted to open up Autopano Giga at this point. This image will likely look a little wonky, so you probably want to click Edit beneath it to make things look like intended. This will create an initial stitch of your video, providing a panorama preview in the right-hand window if you click a particular moment in the bottom panel’s timeline. ![]() For the most part, this will produce a clean video. Next, under the Stitch panel, make sure the lens preset is set to the correct model of GoPro camera used in the Omni Rig, and then select Stitch. To get the best effects here, a loud clap in the beginning of filming will be good to sync by audio, or twisting the camera before filming will be good to sync by motion. Sound will be more accurate if you did not take any preemptive stitching measures at the time of filming. ![]() You likely want to synchronize by sound rather than by motion. Drag the footage from all 6 cameras into the main window of AVP, and select Synchro at the top. The GoPro Omni produces the easiest footage to stitch by default. Vuze 3D 360 footage (one file) Using Autopano with the GoPro Omni Viewing this file in a media player like VLC shows one oval corresponding to each lens, like the image on the right. The Gear 360 and other few-lens cameras produce just one mp4 file. Camera rigs like the GoPro Omni or the Z Cam S1 will produce multiple mp4 files per take one for each lens, as in the image on the left. The first thing to do is look at what kind of unstitched footage your camera produces. There are others, but they tend to be more intensive and difficult to use for little increase in quality, so we’ll be talking about Autopano for the remainder of this guide. Kolor’s Autopano is the most popular comprehensive program to stitch with manually. There are two situations, then, where you’d want to stitch manually using a more sophisticated software: Your camera doesn’t come with an automatic stitching software, or you want to have more control over making a video appear cohesive by hiding particularly tricky stitch lines. In the picture below, the subject was standing directly in the overlap between two lenses, and his face got caught in a stitch line. The areas on either side of stitch lines might look a bit discolored in contrast to one another, because the cameras were automatically set to different light settings. “Stitch lines” in 360 are the areas of overlap between the lenses that have been stitched together, and appear as disconnected lines that are clearly meant to be continuous. This automation makes life remarkably easier for generating a vast amount of 360 content quickly, but comes at the cost of inexact stitching. The Gear 360, for example, comes with software called “ Gear 360 Action Director.” Importing footage from the camera into this software automatically stitches the video for you, no additional work necessary. Most 360 cameras have proprietary stitching software that stitch automatically in most cases. Garmin and other companies have recently demonstrated interest in creating cameras that stitch on board, meaning that this step will likely soon be technologically obsolete, but for now, we have to figure out a way to blend the lenses into one video on our own. These video files must be combined using “video stitching” software on a computer or phone before the video becomes one connected, viewable video. Different cameras have different methods of outputting footage, but usually each camera lens corresponds to a separate video file. For the time-being, footage filmed on most 360° cameras cannot be directly edited and uploaded for viewing immediately after capture. ![]() ![]() ![]() electric vehicle industry and will serve to decarbonize the transportation and energy sectors. ![]() The entire project will support the expansion of the U.S. The company is actively working to ensure that both the construction process and future facility meet Rivian’s high standards of conservation and sustainability for a cleaner, wilder future.

Squawks of protest, and a huff from Magne, follow him as they make their way through the back alleys to an appropriately clean and empty cement office building - with boarded up windows and doors. Sketchy enough that no one will say shit about what happens in those alleys. It's clean, which matches his description of the area they're currently in.

Once again, water temperature is crucial and how long you boil the water depends on the type of tea you’re making. And the type of boil you want varies depending on the type of tea. You want to stick with a nice gentle boil, in order to oxygenate the water perfectly. Instead, a longer boil simply tires the water out (because all the oxygen boils away), resulting in tea that tastes dull and flat. But this doesn’t mean a long boil will result in the best cup of tea you’ve ever had. But it is also important to know the other effects boiling water can have.īoiling oxygenates the water, which can bring out some of the more complex flavors in teas. It is important to understand how water temperature impacts the bitterness of the tea. Making a good cup of tea may seem difficult to screw up, but if you don’t know what you’re doing, you can end up ruining that expensive special blend you just ordered. And it is easily regulated by brewing your tea at the correct temperature. The tannins found in tea are mostly beneficial and the main drawback is the astringency which is really only a drawback for some. Generally, this is not a problem, though. Even better, use completely cold water and let your tea steep overnight (more on cold brewing below). If you’re concerned about the tannin levels in your tea, you might want to try using colder water than normal to brew it. On top of that, they can impact the body’s ability to absorb iron, which can be a serious problem for people who already suffer from an iron deficiency. ![]() In addition to increasing the bitterness of your tea, too many tannins can also hinder metabolism and digestion. Studies have also indicated a positive effect on regulating blood pressure.īut it’s not all good news. Additionally, they can have healing effects on wounds and cuts by speeding up the blood’s ability to clot. Tannins can also help remove harmful microbes from the body, including fungi, viruses, and bacteria. In terms of positive effects, tannins offer anti-mutagenic and anti-carcinogenic properties due to their anti-oxidizing nature. As such, they can have both a negative and positive effect on the body. The more catechins that get oxidized, the more tannins, the more bitter the flavor.Īt the same time, tannins are also responsible for the antioxidant properties of tea. Theraflavins are produced when the catechins in tea become oxidized. There are many types of tannins found in tea. ![]() Black tea generally contains a large amount of tannins A high levels of tannins means a more astringent drink. In tea, it is the compound that gives it its astringency. Tannins are actually found in a bunch of plants. But did you know that tannins also offer a variety of health benefits? It may seem like you don’t want any tannins in your tea, in order to prevent it from tasting too bitter. These include the aforementioned caffeine and tannins. Apart from amino acids, flavonoids are the other key ingredients found in teas. ![]() Most teas also contain arginine and asparaginic acids. L-theanine is by far the most prominent type of amino acid found in tea. They, along with tannins, are also the primary source of most of the health benefits associated with tea. If you use a higher temperature for a sweeter tea, more tannins and caffeine are extracted, leading to a bitter taste that can easily overpower the tea’s sweetness.Īs you can see, amino acids play a major role in how delicious and how complex a tea tastes. At the lower temp, the amino acids are still extracted, but the tannins and caffeine are not (at least not as much). The extraction rate of amino acids does not change, whether the water is hot or cold.Īs a result, tea manufacturers generally recommend using a lower temperature for teas that have a sweeter flavor. In low temperatures, neither is extracted well. The higher the temperature, the faster these components are extracted. Tannins and caffeine tend to change their extraction rate dramatically, based on the water’s temperature. These components have a different resolution rate, that changes with the temperature of the water. Amino acids are responsible for the sweetness, while tannins and caffeine are responsible for the bitterness. These are:Įach of these components has an impact on the flavor of your tea. Let’s begin by going over the main components in tea that are responsible for its flavor. 3 Tea Temperature Guide For Specific Types. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It has also been suggested that the eight legs symbolize cosmic balance and transformation, as well as suggesting stability, and while this may be true, the original intent seems simply to suggest speed. Simek also claims that the story of Sleipnir’s magical birth is most likely an invention of Sturluson who added his own imaginative touches to many of the Norse myths. ![]() Scholar Rudolf Simek, for example, points out that, "on the Gotland stones, the eight legs merely serve to give the impression of speed and the pictorial tradition paved the way for the eight-legged horse in literary tradition" (293-294). Sleipnir’s famous eight legs have been claimed by some modern-day writers to be a result of his magical birth which left him deformed, but scholars reject this claim noting that they were probably imagined to convey the concept of speed. The eight-legged horse as a shamanic symbol of transformation, however, predates Sleipnir’s name (at least in writing) as Gotland rune stones feature the image of Odin on the eight-legged horse arriving in the afterlife as early as the 8th century. 1179-1241) for the Prose Edda, a unified narrative of Norse myths written in the 13th century. Sleipnir is first mentioned by name in 10th-century Eddic poetry which was among the sources used by the Icelandic historian and mythographer Snorri Sturluson (l. Although there are no stories of Sleipnir predicting the future overtly, he is thought to be quite intuitive, knowing the fastest way to reach a destination to minimize risks to his rider. The divination took the form of harnessing a horse, or horses, to a chariot or wagon and then observing the path they took, usually between spears or other projectiles set on the ground in front of them. In the first century AD, the sacred horses of the Germans were held to understand the will of the gods more clearly than their priests could do, according to Tacitus, so that they were used for divination. Like Freyr’s boar, Odin’s horse traveled swiftly though the sky and down into the realm of death. A horse could carry a departed hero to the realm of the dead and is shown doing this on many of the memorial stones set up in Gotland in the Viking Age. The horse was an animal which could be associated with the journeying sun and it was an important religious symbol in the North from the Bronze Age onwards. The völva was highly respected, but it was recognized that horses were closer to the gods and could understand them better than any völva. There was no clergy in Norse religious practice, but there was the figure of the völva (seeress), a woman who received messages from the gods, could predict the future, and presided over community rituals. ![]() In Scandinavian culture, the stallion replaced the bull as the symbol of virility and power, but horses generally were understood as possessing supernatural abilities that placed them in communion with the gods and spirits. Sleipnir is then thought to carry Odin to the afterlife in keeping with the traditional understanding of the horse a liminal being in Norse mythology.
