![]() I don’t care how powerful Voldemort was, good luck stopping an M-16 round to the head, flying faster than you can comprehend what happened, let alone have time to respond. The problem with your criticism is that wizards have adopted some muggle tech - cameras, radios, tents, cars, phone booths, glasses,Ĭome to mind - so it’s not illogical to question why certain muggle technologies (such as guns/rifles/bombs) were shunned, as they could have had a serious implication on the wizarding war. We also have a few countries where concealed carry is readily available, with the Czech Republic being the primary example. We can legally own firearms in every country in Europe except for the Vatican, process and regulations vary quite a bit by country though. If you say "I want to shoot clay" then that's enough of a reason for a shotgun certificate. They will interview you during your application process. You have to have a really good reason to legally own a gun. it's easier than in most other European countries. When you're 15 you can also be gifted a shotgun as long as you have a shotgun certificate. by being in a shooting club).Ī shotgun certificate is fairly easy to get and has no lower age limit (the youngest person with one in 2022 was 8 years old), though you can't shoot on your own until you're 15. it's up to the police to prove you don't need it, while other firearms are on a may issue Firearms certificate which means it's up to you to prove you need it (e.g. since it's about Harry Potter, the relevant country is the UK, where shotguns that take no more than 3 rounds are on a shall issue Shotgun certificate. Thank you for attending my Ted Talk.Īll of your reasons, and I’ve always assumed it’s because it’s hard to get a gun in Europe. This turned into much more than I originally intended. Adding guns to the equation would eliminate the nuances of the story and make the characters and the world incredibly one dimensional. We have all had moments where we let ourselves be ruled by our emotions, but we don't act on the thoughts we might have because that's not who we truly are and reason takes over. This distinction is what makes the characters in Harry Potter so relatable. Harry tries to torture Bellatrix but his curse isn't successful because he's not the type of person that would want to torture someone. I think this distinction is important because it provides more insight into the motivations and qualities of the characters. To torture someone you have to want to cause pain. So to kill someone, you have to want to kill them. They require intent ("You have to mean it") to be effective. The worst curses in the Wizarding Universe can't just be used at will. Does it have parallels to the real world? Absolutely.īut adding guns to that world doesn't add anything to the experience. ![]() I enjoy Harry Potter because it allows me to escape into another world. It is such a ridiculous question and I don't just mean because wizards basically shun anything that is a muggle-specific invention or because they would be able to cast enchantments to protect themselves, but because it takes away from what is supposed to be a magical world.

Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge I will repay,” says the Lord. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone.

You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. Instead, let’s meditate on these 15 Bible verses that command us to pray for our enemies. Whenever we’re wronged or observe injustice-whether being slandered against or watching in horror as the Taliban takes over Afghanistan-we must refrain from giving ourselves over to hatred and contempt. But, if we truly are to love our enemies, that means loving the boss or co-worker who takes advantage of you, and yes, even religious extremists like the Taliban. It’s natural for us to pray for those stranded in Afghanistan or to pray for those dealing with the aftermath of a natural disaster. ![]() Thus, for a game that could be confined, in premise, to simply keeping out of close-range and out of AI’s line of sight - preventing you from recovering lost energy until you’re back in the comfort of the dark, even punishing you should you veer too close to strong light sources by draining your meter - there’s a surprising level of self-awareness Lince Works show in recognizing that stealth should be as much about a willingness to experiment with navigation, as it is about merely timing your movements well. More so when you accidentally slip up - getting spotted and thus activating the designated “alert” status - and mustering the right amount of finger-twitching, button-pressing to flee from one safe shadow to the next, using ground, walls and mountable surfaces to outmanoeuvre enemies. Yet for a game that on early chapters, structures itself like those classic of block-by-block stealth sequences, Aragami does a great job at not so much masking its somewhat simplified structure, but translating its supernatural premise of light and shadows into gameplay terms - repurposing the concept of sneaking into something that’s both interesting to tackle and more importantly, very enjoyable to get right. ![]() For those who aren’t careful and - as the game’s loading screens delightfully offer up - plan out both the use and inevitable recovery of shadow energy, will find themselves flung back to the start many a time over. Nearly all of your character’s abilities are governed by this one bar, be it carving out temporary shadows that slowly fade back out of existence or even jumping from one shadowy area to the next. Later chapters especially show a satisfying degree of inviting (warranting even) player experimentation as levels become more elaborate and the seductive allure of secret routes and hidden paths become a necessity as opposed to an optional nicety in solving its, admittedly safe and at times artificially-lengthening, objectives. Naturally it wouldn’t be a stealth title without a degree of challenge and sense of impeccable odds and Aragami‘s core mechanic makes sure to balance these perks with consistent risk, your shadow-manipulation working essentially like a meter that depletes with every use. Of course you still have your perfectly-disguised enclosed spaces with their allotment of corners, waist-high objects and, obviously, patrolling guards but Lince Works’ level design still shines at points with its fractured displacement of light and dark, making movement feel as much like escaping a labyrinth as it is constant enemy surveillance. Be it teleporting between two shadows (regardless of the surface or even height in certain aspects) or even creating shadow on a whim, Aragami‘s greatest strength is, unquestionably, in its ability to make this most classic of take’s on a renowned genre, feel fresh again thanks to this core mechanic of shadow manipulation. Fortunately, by fitting contrast, title character Aragami is reborn with the power to manipulate shadow - meaning that the slinky, ninja-like elegance present in the character’s animation is even more graceful thanks to the ability to blend into shadows and become (aside from close proximity) invisible to the human eye. Lince Works may, deliberately, be stripping back from all that organic evolution and scale of player liberty, but it goes without saying that even at its most simplistic on a structural and design stand-point, Aragami is a fascinating look-back on classic stealth - revamped for a post-modern, concurrently-nostalgic era of games.Īragami puts you in the shoes of an oriental undead warrior, resurrected by a mysterious maiden who tasks you with rescuing her from the clutches of the Kaiho - a well-equipped, brute-force army, imbued with the power of light. But it’s with notable entries like Chaos Theory, Snake Eater and even contemporary newcomers like Dishonored that’ve cemented stealth’s continuing love of improving, even reinventing itself beyond the mere act of simply memorizing enemy patrol routes. ![]() Be it the necessity for strategy, the will-he-won’t-he tension garnered from an AI’s FOV, even something as basic as winding round environments like a snake (trust me no pun intended, that was literally the first metaphor that came to mind), Aragami pays homage to a time when the stealth genre was all about the sumptuous joys of getting from A to B even if, back then, the technical feats were a lot less organic. ![]() If prompted, you might have to install software or drivers for them.Now we come to perhaps the most critical test to do before your Zoom meeting: making sure your microphone and webcam work. Make Sure Your Webcam and Microphone Are Working Check out our guide on speeding up WiFi internet or consider using an Ethernet cable, if possible. That means making sure there’s enough WiFi signal strength and ensuring you’re not in a dead spot. If the speed test shows that your connection isn’t as fast as your internet package should be, then you’ll have to troubleshoot your internet performance. Your virtual background doesn’t have to be perfect, but you can test it in the Zoom settings to make sure it works for you. As long as your background is a uniform color and evenly lit, you should get good results. Zoom will automatically test your device's speaker and microphone. To join audio, tap Wifi or Cellular Data. Note: If this is the first Zoom meeting that you've joined, you will be asked to give access to your microphone. ![]() This works the same as any “green screen” setup, but you don’t specifically need a green screen. In a mobile browser, go to Launch the Zoom mobile app to join the test meeting. Zoom offers the ability to replace your background with a virtual one. This isn’t a comprehensive list, so look around the environment you’ll be using during your Zoom meeting and try to think if anything would cause problems. Is there something inappropriate or distracting in view? Consider moving where you sit or moving those objects out of the way. Check the framing of your video stream carefully.A beeping device, squeaky fan or other similar issue will grate on the nerves of all the other meeting participants. Somewhere with a carpet, thick drapes and soft furniture is generally good. Try to choose a room that’s not too prone to echoes.If possible, pick a place with access control, like a door that can be locked.Make sure that your environment is adequately lit.Notta - The Best Meeting Assistant With up to 98.86 transcription accuracy, automatic meeting notes generation, Notta helps improve meeting efficiency by 300.

I'm loading the spritesheets this way: var cache = cc.SpriteFrameCache.getInstance() Ĭache.addSpriteFrames("ist", "srcSprites/spritesheet.png") So if I will load a sprite with at the left side 20px of transparent area a setPosition to X = 0 will put the sprite 20px far from the left border, so ? Well it do not work for me, and in cocos2d the trasparent area is not considered. The sprite position will be relative to the original transparent area and not the colored area ? Is this right. "All the transparent background is removed and the information about the position of the colored area within the original sprite is saved in the plist file"Īs I load the plist file in COCOS2d, the position of the colored area is remembered and if I do in cocos2d: tPosition(new cc.p(0,0)) But as I understand the trim mode in Texturepacker: "Crop Keep position" should work this way: Please do not use Crop, flush position, or the trim information will be lost and you can't get back originial texture offset anymore.I cannot figure out how it works. The sprite view updates each time you add new sprites to the folder, rename or change sprites. TexturePacker scans it for known image formats such as png, jpg, psd, svg, bmp, tiff and others. In TexturePacker before you publish your sprite sheet, please make sure you choose Trim in Trim Mode setting of Sprites section. Drop your sprites Drag & drop a folder containing your sprites on the left pane. We recommend users to use sprite sheet tools such as TexturePacker for generating sprite animation texture assets. If Trim property is set to true, it would fit animations that have no in texture offset. This way when playing sprite animation the sprite node position will not change, instead the character will move based on it's offset in original textures. We should set Sprite component's Trim property to false, and set Size Mode to RAW. In this case, all animation frames are textures with the same size and transparent areas around the character. Usually animator will use a large canvas and put character on different positions on the canvas for different animation frames. There are a lot of animator prefer to draw the moving motion in texture, commonly seen in attack animations. The following picture shows the comparison of two size modes: If user use Rect Transform Tool or Size property in Properties panel to modify the size of the node, the Size Mode property will be automatically set to CUSTOM. The crop is a rectangle that limits the area of the texture frame that is visible. CUSTOM This option make sure the size of the node will not be changed along with SpriteFrame, and should be managed by user himself. Applies a crop to a texture based Game Object, such as a Sprite or Image.RAW Select this option will set the size of the node to use the original texture size, including transparent areas. ![]() TRIMMED Select this option will set the size of the node to use trimmed image size of the current SpriteFrame used by Sprite component. Please do not use Crop, flush position, or the trim information will be lost and you can't get back originial texture offset anymore.Size Mode Use the options in this property to set node's size to the original texture size or trimmed image size.If unchecked the bounding box will be showing original texture including transparent areas.

Resource management considerations - meta files 1 Answer Sorted by: 2 This is as it should be - no bug -) TexturePacker has 2 crop modes in Unity - to remove transparency around the sprites which consumes memory and GPU. On occasion, to avoid looking like a tourist, I even tried stuffing my camera into a stylish non-camera bag, wrapping it in scarves or t-shirts and hoping it wouldn’t come in contact with my other stuff. But I loathed carrying a camera bag that was clunky and distracting. To family gatherings and trips to the park. There's something truly magical about taking a photo that tells a story and captures the essence of a moment in time.

![]() The battery will last for 90 minutes on a charge, which is fine for business presentations, but you may need to plug in for a feature-length movie. The sound isn't very loud, which is something of a theme for AAXA projectors, unfortunately. Basically, any device you come across in your travels should work with this projector. You can plug in via HDMI, USB, MicroSD, and mini-VGA. The AAXA P7 is a tiny cube about 4 x 4 x 3 inches (LWH) and has a lot of input options considering its size. In addition to being portable, a travel projector has to easily fit into a bag and work under most conditions. Resolution: 1080p | Brightness: 700 ANSI lumens | Contrast Ratio: 20,000:1 | Projection Size: 16 to 135 inchesįinding a projector that's portable is one thing, but finding one that travels well is another. But the tiny size, combined with the high contrast picture makes this an ideal companion for business presentations on the go. The lack of wireless connectivity is disappointing, and the fact that Optima sells a dongle to correct that oversight for an additional cost is borderline insulting. The projector is also a little on the expensive side. You will want to make sure your presentation room is as dark as possible, though. It's ideal for business because it's bright enough for a conference room and small enough for a briefcase or backpack. The size becomes even more impressive when you consider the 700 ANSI lumens and 20,000:1 contrast ratio you get in this powerful machine. In this case, you can get a 100-inch projection from just six feet away. It's also a short-throw projector which means you can have the projector close to the screen and still have a full-sized picture. Photos of the projector don't really show just how very small this projector is. When you're talking about mini projectors, there's "mini" and then there's the Optima ML 750ST. Resolution: 1080p | Brightness: 50 ANSI lumens | Contrast Ratio: 2000:1 | Projection Size: 30 to 100 inches Overall, this device is small enough to fit into a jacket pocket or a small bag making it ideal for campers, hikers, or really anyone who wants to tote their own projector around. The included tripod lets you point the projector anywhere you need it to go. You can connect to your projector using the HDMI input or plug in a USB drive to display photos and movies. ![]() Still, we like to see that kind of versatility in devices. You can also charge your phone off of the battery, but that obviously leaves even less power for the projector. ![]() The projector comes with a 3,400 mAh battery built-in, which will barely get you through a 2-hour movie. It also has a fairly dim picture, however, so you'll want to set this projector up in as dark a room as possible. This device is about the size of three CD cases stacked on top of each other and has decent sound. Keeping in line with portability comes the Apeman M4 DLP projector. Resolution: 720p | Brightness: 200 ANSI lumens | Contrast Ratio: Not listed | Projection Size: 40 to 100 inches It's not cheap, but it's got everything you need built in. Overall, we really like the Nebula Capsule II, and think it's the perfect solution for a pop-up cinema night or even as a bedroom TV for occasional use. The projector runs on Google's Android software, so along with the easy-to-use interface you can easily download apps like Netflix or Hulu, plus you get the added bonus of built-in Google Assistant. You can also control it using Google Assistant or via a smartphone app or the supplied remote. It's got everything you need, including a speaker built into the base and a built-in app store-just connect it to a Wi-Fi network, and you're good to go. When considering mini projectors, portability is one of the prime considerations, and when it comes to that, being the size of a soda can is about as small as you can get (especially as most bags and backpacks have pockets designed for carrying drink-sized items). |
