![]() Don’t take that first hit and things usually go fine. Other times, I’d make an embarrassment of myself, with panic-stricken flailing and lots of luck keeping me just this side of the grave. ![]() Sometimes, I would clear out a room with a showy display of expert swordsmanship and dodge-dashing so beautiful it could be fit for a ballet. I often found myself alternating between two extremes. Combat in Hyper Light Drifter is fast, fun, and occasionally frustrating. The world may be dying, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t dangerous. This is an arrangement I am perfectly happy with. Hyper Light Drifter doesn’t seem particularly interested in answering those questions, it just wants them to occupy a spot in your brain to stake out a little encampment in your mind, and in turn leave a part of yourself in its melancholic neon world. Maybe they’re in there somewhere, tucked away in the many secrets I failed to unlock, or the New Game+ mode I’ve yet to tackle. What happened to the world? Why are you following this Anubis look-alike dog? Who is the man is the mask? Is he you?īy the time I saw the credits roll (roughly seven hours of game time), I had more questions than answers. World details and astoundingly beautiful pixel art tell small localized stories here and there, but the overarching plot is shrouded in mystery. Everything is impressionistic and dreamy, expecting the player to fill in the gaps and supply their own ideas. There are short vignettes, troubling visions, and one-sided, pictographic conversations from the few friendly faces in the world, but no words. No words are exchanged in Hyper Light Drifter. Which is good, because that mood does most of the narrative heavy lifting. It all blends together to create one hell of a mood. It’s all very isolating and spooky, the kind of music fit for wandering around a dead person’s house (which I imagine is the intended effect, given the wrecked nature of Hyper Light Drifter‘s world). Much of it is moody and atmospheric, with sad stray notes and the occasional punch of percussion punctuating ominous synth humming. The soundtrack from Disasterpeace is every bit a match for the impressive visuals. Every single image in the game is positively gorgeous. Even the menus and shops ooze with style. Hyper Light Drifter revels in its style, taking frequent breaks from the action just to bask in a glorious vista, some sad tableaux of an ancient broken robot in a forest, or a disturbing massacre of a primitive tribe. The vibrant colors, intricate anarcho-future design of the settings, and super-detailed character spites grab the eyeballs and never let go. Honestly, you can’t take a bad screenshot of this game. The visual presentation of Hyper Light Drifter is second to none. The backtracking never feels like a burden because this is a game to take your time with - to explore and really soak in the splendor and beauty of its design. There is no penalty for backtracking, and getting around the world is easy with centrally located fast-travel points in every area. Like some cheap Robert Frost knock-off, you’ll often be presented with two, three, four paths (and an invisible bridge) at once, and sorry, but you could not travel them all. Hidden paths, tricky routes, and invisible platforms abound, and it’s best to embrace the wandering mentality early. You’re not expected to know where to go the game delights in that uncertainty.įrom the macro-level of not really understanding the critical path, or even your overall goal, to the micro-level of discreet portions of stage design, exploration is key. After waking up in a quaint hamlet set square in the center of the map, a tool-tip may nudge you towards the north, but there isn’t any reason you can’t go west, or east, or south, or just hang out in the village and marvel at the character and design of its shopkeeps. Hyper Light Drifter sets the player off to explore a dying world without much direction. Released: Ma/ TBA (PS4, PS Vita, Xbox One) Hyper Light Drifter (PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Xbox One) The end of Hyper Light Drifter‘s world is more than interesting, it’s downright captivating. A kind of heartbreaking sting that is at once nostalgic and completely new. A longing vision of the end times through the lens of idealized 8- and 16-bit games. Set on just the wrong side of an apocalyptic event, it brings beauty, style, and mood to the end of the world. It’s hard to make the end of the world interesting again. But, Hyper Light Drifter manages to find a way. We’ve seen it all: zombies, mutants, raiders, and hell, even dinosaurs. The post-apocalypse is the new WWII - the overused, thoroughly played-out, exhausted setting that too many games and movies muck around in.

![]() The project, Muldoon said, “Would ensure that the building retains its place in Berkeley’s architectural history it will also add much-needed housing to the local community.” ![]() He said the project would preserve the California’s facade, but did not make the same commitment for its marquee, saying it would “potentially” be retained. Muldoon did not identify the prospective new owner of the building, nor did he describe specific details of the project they would pursue - such as how much housing it would include and whether the development would be built within the existing theater structure or on top of it. The ownership group is looking to sell the California because the outlook for downtown multiplex theaters is “not good,” Muldoon told the landmarks commission, saying the pandemic and rise of streaming services such as Netflix are keeping moviegoers away. None of the theater’s owners have responded to multiple calls and messages from Berkeleyside over the past six months seeking information about plans for the building. The application, which more than 100 people signed a petition to support, seeks to protect about two dozen of the theater’s features - including its blue and gold neon marquee, and elements of its Art Deco facade. Muldoon addressed the commission during a public hearing on an application from the Art Deco Society of California asking the city to declare the theater a landmark. “The fact is, we simply can’t afford to hold on to it.” “The theater has been an integral part of our family’s history, and we too are very sad to see it go,” Muldoon told the Landmarks Preservation Commission at its April 7 meeting. John Muldoon IV, a representative for the theater’s 10-person ownership group, said at a city meeting earlier this month that the family is considering a purchase agreement under which a new owner would “transform” the building by adding housing to the site while also preserving at least some of its distinctive architecture. ![]() Patrons responded with a flood of tributes when Landmark announced that the theater, which had been closed since the onset of the pandemic, would not reopen. The California’s future has been unclear since last fall, when its owners - the descendants of the Berkeley businessman who built the theater more than a century ago - declined to renew the lease of longtime operator Landmark Theatres. Preservationists want Berkeley to protect several elements of the California Theatre, including its blue and gold marquee, stepped roofline and Art Deco facade topped with “frozen fountains.” Credit: Nico Savidgeĭevotees of the California Theatre have launched a campaign to protect the downtown Berkeley movie palace while its owners move to sell the building as part of a plan to redevelop the site. ![]() Sleep deprivation is very common among people with epilepsy. People with epilepsy who experience nighttime seizures have more than twice the risk of sudden, unexpected death than people who only experience seizures in the day. Both focal and generalized seizures can occur during sleep, but focal seizures are more common. Some other studies estimate that about 12 percent of epilepsies cause nighttime seizures almost exclusively. about 39 percent experience seizures during the day and night.about 41 percent experience seizures during the day.about 20 percent experience seizures during sleep.It’s estimated that, in people with seizures: ![]() benign rolandic, also called benign epilepsy of childhood with central temporal spikesĪccording to 2014 research, almost two-thirds of seizures occur between 8 p.m.Types of epilepsy associated with nighttime seizures include: For example, in children with benign rolandic epilepsy, about 70 to 80 percent of seizures occur while sleeping. Many types of epilepsy associated with nighttime seizures start in childhood. They also can include involuntary movements. Partial seizures can affect behavior, consciousness, and responsiveness. When they occur, you may remain conscious but may not know the seizure is happening. Partial seizures, also called focal or localized seizures, are limited to one hemisphere of your brain. Formerly known as petit mal, these seizures are characterized by brief periods of staring, blinking eyes, and small movements in the hands and arms. Formerly known as grand mal, these seizures include a stiffening of the body, jerking motions, and usually loss of consciousness. Generalized seizuresĪ generalized seizure happens when abnormal electrical activity occurs in both cerebral hemispheres. They fall roughly into two categories: generalized seizures and focal, or partial, seizures. According to the Epilepsy Foundation in 2014, new cases are most often diagnosed in children under the age of 10 and adults over the age of 55.Īs with epilepsy, there are many different kinds of seizures. Doctors make an epilepsy diagnosis when you have two or more unprovoked seizures at least 24 hours apart, not caused by another medical condition.Ībout 3.4 million people in the United States have epilepsy. But with certain types of epilepsy, seizures only occur during sleep.Įpilepsy is the most common cause of seizures. You can have a seizure associated with any form of epilepsy, even while you sleep.

Informal adjudications are like the redheaded step-child, neglected and left to their own devices. The APA has a robust package of protections for formal adjudications, including a role for administrative law judges. When it comes to informal adjudications, as the opinion discusses, the APA provides very little in the way of protections when it comes to protections and rights before the agency (essentially the APA says that informal adjudications trigger prompt notice rights when an agency denies something). The district court opinion in Moore sets the stage nicely when it notes that in the world of administrative agency informal adjudications procedural protections are rooted in three main places: organic agency procedures, the APA and the constitution. ![]() In this post I provide some context on procedural due process and then a review of the Moore court’s approach to the issue. (I note that a number of articles have considered the excessive fines issue, including this excellent piece in the Journal of Tax Practice and Procedure a few years ago by Steven Toscher and Barbara Lubin Jack Townsend’s coverage of the Zwerner case from last year has lots of insightful coverage on that issue). In today’s post I discuss the procedural due process issues. Those issues involve the Fifth Amendment’s procedural due process clause and the Eighth Amendment’s excessive fines clause. I left for another day the court’s discussion of the constitutional issues. Moore stands out as there is little law surrounding the penalty and defenses to the penalty In the post, I discussed how the district court held that the taxpayer violated the law by not filing FBARs and did not have reasonable cause for the nonfiling but that the record before it was inadequate for it to determine whether the amount of the penalties was appropriate. Last month I wrote about Moore v US, a case involving an assessment of the nonwillful FBAR penalty. ![]() And raises the ROI for Mind Mapping customers.

Let’s start with some general tips that apply to subjects of all ages and genders. The ultimate goal is to be sensitive to your subject and retouch them with the respect and honor they deserve.

This is also one I definitely encourage you to download as a PDF so that you can reference it in the future as the need arises.Īs with many “rules” of art, don’t be afraid to make your own evaluations as well. You’ll find my tips separated by age group, and they’re meant to get you started thinking while working on the subject’s face. This cheat sheet guide is the culmination of things I’ve found to be generally true during the many years I’ve spent retouching people professionally. Remaining images by Dani Diamond.Whether you’re a professional portrait photographer, or the artsy one in the family that handles the photos, many mid and high-end camera owners will at one point or another need to become familiar with the basics of retouching. So if you love photography and want to take your photos to the next level be sure to check out the links below. Trust me, if you follow the instructions found in this tutorial you will be able to achieve natural looking, clear, unblemished, wrinkle free skin -you are going to love the end result. And the second link is from F-Stoppers which lists ten to fifteen tutorials from professional and semi-professional photographers that covers: skin retouching, dodging and burning (think conturing and strobing in photoshop), getting rid of redness, adding definition to hair, color balancing, adding intentional light leaks and more. ![]() So I found an alternative to this method, which is the first link listed here. I tried three different tutorials regarding this method and none of them worked for me. There is only one process that I found to not be particularly helpful, and that is the low frequency high frequency adjustment layer technique. They are step by step tutorials that if you follow them will yield promising results. Most of these tutorials do not require a lot of skill. So today I am happy to share with you some very helpful, relatively easy to follow retouching tutorials. Because in addition to a professional DSLR camera, and a quality prime lens, lots of practice shooting and even a class or two, you will also need to learn how to retouch your photos as well. You can read more about prime lenses here.Īnd of course (and you may have an idea of where I am going with this), the story does not end there. And I am happy to report that I am now the proud owner of an f1.4 prime lens. ![]() So back online I went to do some more research and I learned that beautiful photographs have more to do with the lens then the camera. Though I still struggled to capture in my photographs the engaging cinematic quality for which I aimed. So back online I went to do some more research and I discovered that beautiful photographs have more to do with the lens then the camera I still needed to look things up online but the over-all understanding of how the basic fundamentals of photography worked, came back to me. Or at least in a broad understanding kind of way. Surprisingly much of what I learned in film school (my first degree) came back to me. With much anticipation I went out and started to practice with my new camera. Well after a bit of research I discovered why and promptly went out and bought my first DSLR camera from Canon-the Rebel T3i, which I am still shooting with today. So when I first started using my fancy point and shoot and posting pictures I wondered why they did not look as nice as other photos I was seeing online. ![]() And for years (before I had smart phone) I didn’t take pictures at all. I knew little of DSLR’s and had not actually tried to shoot anything in an artistic way since a photography class I took in high school. The camera I was using was a basically a point and shoot but just a bit nicer then the average point and shoot. As many of you know I have been investing more time in photography.When I first started my blog I used an average semi high-end point and shoot camera. |
