![]() ![]() For the fourth season in a row, I’ve had a look at the latest edition of the free-to-play Soccer Manager series. It seems that the AI listens to the players and goes in the right direction, which gives us an increasingly complete product.It’s that time of year again. With more tools at your disposal than ever, this is a rich, realistic management simulation that delivers thrills both on and off the pitch.įootball Manager 2022 is the next steps in the evolution of the best football manager simulator. The veteran playmaker is still banging them in and deserves that new contract. The match engine roars into the modern era with significant and overdue AI tweaks, and whilst there are still some stale features the game feels deeper and easier to navigate than ever. Football Manager 2022 is a cracking entry in the series and has added plenty to make it feel fresh when compared to previous years, the data hub being the cream of the crop. ![]() Some years I can't put it down, others I can barely make it through a season. Over the years I've had a love/hate relationship with Football Manager. The introduction of the Data Hub and small changes to the interface makes Football Manager 2022 the umpteenth excellent chapter of the series, which for the occasion also lands on Xbox Game Pass. Sports Interactive has worked hard to improve the game engine even more, with brilliant animations and a brand new AI, which has a strong impact on certain game situations, such as pressing and occupying half spaces. IGN Italy - Davide Mancini - Italian - 8.6 / 10įootball Manager 2022 is a chapter of consolidation, which capitalizes on last year's revolution. There's no big breakthrough in football manager 2022 compared to the previous generation, but some of the small fixes that have come to fruition have given players a more comfortable experience.įootball Manager 2022 is about as close to the real thing as you can get, with some nice improvements that make it the ultimate experience. This is Football Manager at its best, the virtual equivalent of a top-corner goal. Its proficiency on even the oldest of hardware means there’s really no excuse not to dive in. Its new additions add to an experience already brimming with depth, and the refinement of the gameplay style means that you’ll struggle not to lose yourself within Sports Interactive’s digital training ground. It once again proves that you can enjoy football games without directly controlling the players. That one is delivered to the annals is probably not the best Football Manager in the thirty-year history of the series, but a good episode yes.Īll in all, Football Manager 2022 is another sublime sports simulation. It's the most accurate, most joyfully compulsive entry yet.Į - Raffaello Rusconi - Italian - 8.2 / 10Īt a superficial glance Football Manager 2022 might seem like little more than just an update: the new chapter of Sports Interactive's football management simulation is much more. Football Manager gives a new blow on the table with a delivery full of novelties that do nothing but improve an experience that already borders on perfection and that each delivery is more and more demanding.įootball Manager 2022 ramps up the emphasis on the modernness of today's game.

Adobe adobe camera raw super5/7/2023 ![]() Teaching a computer to perform a task may sound complicated, but in some ways it’s similar to teaching a child - provide some structure and enough examples, and before long they’re doing it on their own. With enough examples covering all kinds of subject matter, the model eventually learns to up sample real photos in a naturally detailed manner. Specifically, we used millions of pairs of low-resolution and high-resolution image patches so that the computer can figure out how to upsize low-resolution images. "The idea is to train a computer using a large set of example photos. The results are smoother with far fewer artifacts and interference patterns. The short version is that they have used machine learning to develop an entirely new algorithm for image enlargement and it has pushed Photoshop right up to the front of the pack when it comes to the quality of the enlarged images.Īs you can see from the example below, it does a noticeably better job than the existing Bicubic/Bilinear/Nearest Neighbor routines when it comes to enlargement. You can read all the details in this blog post from the ACR team explaining what it is and how they developed it. There hasn't been much in the way of advancement until last week when Adobe released an update for Photoshop and Camera Raw that included a new feature they are calling Super Resolution. The upsampling tools available to us reached a plateau over the last few years. Both do a fairly decent job of making enlargements with minimal quality loss. Genuine Fractals was later purchased by OnOne software and this excellent upsampling algorithm still lives on today as part of On1 Resize and On1 Raw.Īlien Skin (now rebranded as Exposure Software) has their own upsampling plugin called Blow Up and Topaz has one called Gigapixel AI. The results it produced were far superior to the native ones in Photoshop like Bicubic and Bilinear and it really was a game-changer at the time it was released to the public. This program used a branch of mathematics called fractal geometry to create an entirely new algorithm for enlargement that was capable of scaling images up or down with minimal loss of quality. The first great leap forward in enlarging software came with the release of a plugin called Genuine Fractals Print Pro from Alatamira Software all the way back in 1999. We need a better way to make bigger images! But they all have their limitations and the larger you try to go with an image, the more you will begin to see flaws like jagged edges and blurred details. "Preserve Details" works best for enlargements. "Nearest Neighbor" works well for hard edges. ![]() They have names like "Bicubic", "Bilinear", "Nearest Neighbor", and "Preserve Details" and each one is designed to work with different types of images and for different enlargement (or reduction) tasks. Photoshop alone offers quite a number of different enlarging algorithms you can use when resizing an image. ![]() Software makers have created a variety of solutions over the years in an effort to solve the inherent problems of upsampling. In order to make digital photos larger, images must be "upsampled" using a software algorithm to add more pixels.īecause most digital photos are made up of a grid or "bitmap" of pixels, enlarging these images frequently results in either blurry or jagged results as the software is forced to either increase the size of the pixel (which produces jagged results) or "guess" what additional pixels should look like (which produces blurry results). One question I get asked frequenlty by photographers of all varieties is: "How can I increase image resolution without losing too much image quality?"Įnlargements are something we deal with every day in the world of digital imaging and output. ![]()

Garmin homeport charts5/6/2023 ![]() Like I said, I don't necessarily need the compass.78sc has a compass and the charts built in. It is a 3X upgrade from my old non-color 76map models in that it is a color screen and can take a chip, and hooks to a computer with a USB cord.78s has a compass. Thanks KB for the info on the chip!We are actually talking about three GPS units in increasing order of expense, 78, 78s, 78sc.The 78 being the cheapest. Tide and current info is really a plus as well. I try and look for something, get lost in the thing, then realize I am in the wrong sub menu! But it seems to function well other than that. It is great paired with Garmin HomePort on my computer but on the water I wish it had a touch screen.Īlso the sub menus get confusing a lot. I thought it was more expensive than just getting the 78sc but that is just my recollection (I messed up ordering). I also have the 78s and then upgraded by adding the chart chip so I basically have a 78sc. I use my GPS equipped iPad all the time and have no cellular plan activated.Runswithbeer and I will be using the new iPad mini as our main nav in the EC. Works fine without the cellular, just might take longer if you have traveled far since the last time you used the GPS. Other than ' assisting' the GPS with the initial startup and giving it a clue where you are to speed up locating you. The iPads with built in CELLULAR all have true multichannel GPS chips in them and the cellular has nothing to do with the GPS. There is much confusion about 'assisted GPS' and GPSA. Now I know what chip I need to get for the EC! For fishing brushpiles when the boat is barely moving along, the S model is better for finding my brushpile waypoints.This is a good thread. I've found myself walking in a big circle for a few moments until the GPS can tell which way is what.However, IN FACT I find the S model is LESS reliable than the regular, non-compass model!One friend found himself paddling upstream because his unit lost its calibration.For paddling, I won't have a S model. ![]() If it is moving, it knows what way is north.So if you are standing still and don't have a S model, the GPS can't tell you which way is which. I have a Map76 and a Map76s, The difference being the sensors (S), ie the compass.You don't need the compass feature if the gps is moving. I'm still in the dark ages with the 76 models. Are the compass and barometer worth $149? Are there other features I'm missing that would help justify the cost difference?Are there other handheld GPSs I should be looking at instead of these? Durability and price are primary concerns. ![]() My last GPS had the compass so I don't know how much different the functionality would be without it. Seems the main feature differences are the compass and barometer. (I'm primarily interested in data for Cayuga and Seneca Lakes in New York's Finger Lakes, which have full coverage for depth contours and navaids when I look at them directly from the device.) Rather, the Maps menu has entries only for the City Navigator product and for the Global Map, but not the pre-installed Bluechart product.West Marine currently has the Garmin GPSMAP 78 on sale for $199 and the Garmin GPSMAP 78SC on sale for $349. However, when my device is connected to my Mac via USB, Basecamp does not show me any of the marine data, which means that I can't establish new waypoints (or define routes, etc.) on the water. I also bought a 32GB micro-SD card and the City Navigator North America NT product on a CD, and have successfully gotten that map registered, on my Mac, and loaded on the micro-SD card in the Montana. ![]() I recently bought a Montana 600 Marine Bundle, which includes the Bluechart G2 US charts preinstalled in the device's main memory. Hi - if this question has already been addressed in an older thread, I'd appreciate a pointer to it I didn't see a thread title which looked promising. ![]()

Calex california5/6/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Īs a teenager, he read None Dare Call It Conspiracy, a book by John Birch Society conspiracy theorist Gary Allen, which alleged global bankers controlled American politics rather than elected officials. After graduating, Jones briefly attended Austin Community College before dropping out. He attended Anderson High School, where he played football and graduated in 1993. The family moved to Austin in Jones's sophomore year of high school. He claims Irish, German, Welsh, English, and Comanche descent. His father was a dentist and his mother was a homemaker. Jones was born on February 11, 1974, in Dallas, Texas, and was raised in the suburb of Rockwall. One of the judges issued an order that he was "not to transfer, encumber, dispose or move his assets out of the United States until further order of the court." On December 2, 2022, Jones filed for personal bankruptcy. ![]() In 2022, for Jones' defamatory falsehoods about the Sandy Hook shooting, juries in Connecticut and Texas awarded a total of $1.487 billion in damages from Jones to a first responder and families of victims the plaintiffs alleged that Jones' lies led to them being threatened and harassed for years. On January 6, 2021, Jones was a speaker at the rally in Lafayette Square Park supporting Trump, preceding the attack on the U.S. A staunch supporter of Trump's re-election, Jones supported the false claims of electoral fraud in the 2020 presidential election. Ī longtime critic of Republican and Democratic foreign and security policy, Jones supported Donald Trump's 2016 presidential bid and continued to support him as a savior from an alleged criminal bipartisan cabal controlling the federal government, despite falling out over several of Trump's policies including airstrikes against the Assad regime. He has claimed that several governments and big businesses have colluded to create a " New World Order" through "manufactured economic crises, sophisticated surveillance tech and-above all- inside-job terror attacks that fuel exploitable hysteria". The conspiracy theories promoted by Jones alleged that the United States government either concealed information about or outright falsified the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting, the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, the September 11 attacks, and the 1969 Moon landing. Jones has provided a platform and support for white nationalists, giving Unite the Right rally attendee and white supremacist Nick Fuentes a platform on his website Banned.Video, as well as serving as a potential "entry point" to their ideology. Jones's website, InfoWars, promotes conspiracy theories and fake news, as do his other websites NewsWars and PrisonPlanet. He hosts The Alex Jones Show from Austin, Texas, which the Genesis Communications Network broadcasts across the United States ( syndicated and internet radio).

Wiredrive vs frameio5/6/2023 ![]() ![]() Finally, think carefully about why you want to change, and make sure the platform you choose offers everything you need. ![]() Many offer similar features, with real-time video review and collaborative tools being common across them, but check out all 14 of the options above to see what each one has to offer. If you’re struggling with Frame.io or find that it isn’t up to your requirements, there are plenty of Frame.io alternatives to choose from. Consider the support that the platform offers, and if it is appropriate for your usage. Does going through the complexity of changing up an entire system add enough of an improvement for it to be worth it? Supportįinally, is your system futureproof? Will it allow your team and your business to grow in the future? You don’t want to switch review platforms every time your situation changes. What will it add? Think carefully about why you want to switch review services. Which pricing plan will you need? Check your requirements as some of the cheaper plans across different platforms will restrict features. Check the fine print and make sure the cost of the software fits within your project budget. It seems simple, but many platforms have hidden fees. Clients won’t like having to sign up for an account or log in – they’ll want to just open up the link and get started. The rule of thumb is to make it as easy as possible for everyone involved. Zapiers automation tools make it easy to connect Frame.io and OneDrive. Some clients may have restricted internet usage, or prefer access to a mobile device on the move. Set up the Frame.io trigger, and make magic happen automatically in OneDrive. Many of them offer free trials so try and get familiar with a few of them before settling on one. With so many options, how do you choose one? Where do you begin? They all have their own pros and cons so the first thing you need to do is sit down carefully and assess the value of each one. Check It Out Part 2: Tips on Selecting a Frame.io Alternative Unlock all the video production features for $10 per month. At that time, Wiredrive was really just a glorified FTP, and it just didn't feel right. Storyboards, script breakdowns, shot lists and schedules all work together to keep your project moving on time and in budget. So we decided to start building what became Frame.io, which was. Pricing starts at just 29. As well as a program for writing screenplays, Celtx has also introduced features designed to take your script to the screen.

Closeout quickshade replacement5/6/2023 ![]() The varnish is also fully transparent and doesn’t tint or yellow your paint job. Fortunately, the varnish doesn’t frost even when you accidentally put on too much varnish. I recommend thin coats as the drying time will increase for thicker applications. The finish is similar to the natural finish of most hobby paints like Warpaints or Citadel paints, and slightly more matt as more satin finish paints like Vallejo Game Colour or Privateer Press. Essentially, it’s just orange paint, quite unexciting.Īnti-Shine Matt Varnish: A very nice water-based matt varnish that can be applied with a brush or an airbrush. Can be mixed with Quickshade Wash Mixing Medium and applied as a wash, or used for drybrushing or stippling. Unlike GW’s Ryza Rust, the consistency is similar to regular acrylic (War)paints with a matt finish. I recommend applying these paints with a sponge or by flicking them from your brush for cool splatter effects.ĭry Rust: A rusty orange with a hint of brown. Compared to GW Blood for the Blood Good or Nurgle’s Rot, they are lacking the gooey gel-like consistency (you can find out more about Citadel Technical paints here). These are essentially “just” glossy paints, made to stand out after a coat of matt varnish for a wet effect. Glistening Blood, Wet Mud, Disgusting Slime: If you expect these to match Citadel’s Technical paints, than you will be disappointed. The durability can’t match a spray primer of course. The consistency of the primer is nice, it goes smoothly on models and doesn’t drip off like some thinner brush-on primers. Let’s take a closer look.īrush-On Primer: A medium grey paint that can be applied as a primer over bare metal and plastic. The Effect paints range features a mix of useful additives and varnishes, as well as some specially formulated paints to create special effects like blood, slime and weathering. They are also quite affordable, which is a plus. They have more body than Citadel Shades, and most of them go on very evenly. Light Tone: Light Tone is a sepia brown, similar to GW Seraphim Sepia.Īll in all, I’m quite fond of The Army Painter’s washes. Compared to other Quickshade Inks, it didn’t settle quite as nicely in the recesses. It’s actually pretty close to GW Reikland Fleshshade. It’s much more reddish than it appears on the colour swatch. Mid Brown: This was quite a surprise, as it’s an even more reddish brown wash than Flesh Wash. Compared to Reikland Fleshshade, it’s a nuance less reddish and it settles better in the recesses. Note: Dark Tone, Strong Tone and Soft Tone are supposed to match The Army Painter’s Quickshade “dip” range, though I can’ comment on that as I don’t have their dips for comparison.įlesh Wash: A reddish-brown wash for shading caucasian flesh, also useful for shading gold and copper. Old Soft Tone Ink seems now to be Light Tone Ink. It’s actually quite similar to GW Agrax Earthshade. ![]() Soft Tone – Soft Tone Ink used to be quite similar to GW’s old Gryphonne Sepia or new Seraphim Sepia Shade, but The Army Painter seems to have changed it into a more mid-brown wash, as seen as on the colour swatch. Please note that The Army Painter seems to have changed Soft Tone Ink since our review: Dark Tone Ink is a perfect match for GW’s old Badab Black or (old formula) Nuln Oil, while Strong Tone is a darker, more blackish-brown compared to GW Agrax Earthshade (but a very close match for GW’s old Devlan Mud). For reference, Green Tone Ink is slightly more muted than GW Biel-Tan Green, Purple Tone is a very close match to GW Druchii Violet, Blue Tone is less blackish and than GW Drakenhof Nightshade.ĭark Tone, Strong Tone: Also reviewed earlier, learn more about them here. ![]() Green Tone, Purple Tone, Blue Tone: We already reviewed these inks a while ago, check out the review here. I like it quite much, I think it’s great for shading drab or muted greens when you don’t want that yellowish hue of Althonian Camoshade. Compared to GW Althonian Camoshade, it’s less yellowish. Military Shader: This is a drab green wash. The new additions are Flesh Wash, Mid Brown, Light Tone and Military Shader. I was pleased to hear that The Army Painter expanded their Quickshade Inks with four new hues, bringing the range to 11 washes in total. ![]() Please note: The figures refer to the time of publication of this review. The Army Painter’s Quickshade Washes come in bottles of 18 ml at 2.75 €/£2.25 (0.153 €/£0.125 per ml), so are almost half the price of Citadel Shades (0.153 € per ml compared to 0.263 € per ml for Citadel)! ![]()
