The app supports Gruber's markdown syntax and some enhancements from Github Flavored Markdown and MultiMarkdown. It supports Markdown, and has extensive keyboard command support for the Markdown syntax. If you are using the same notes on iOS, keep your notes in a Dropbox folder and if you are using Notesy, Editorial, Write for iPad/iPhone, or some other text editor on the iOS, you will have access to the same notes, irrespective of the device you are on. It deals with individual text files in a folder. But Katana's approach works reliably and is functional. I must say that I prefer nvALT's unimodal approach to search and note creation. If Katana is not active, you can also create a new note by a pre-assigned keyboard command, which you get to set in the preferences. New notes are created by tapping the plus icon, or by the usual ⌘ + N shortcut. It is however not the place where you create new notes. Search is instant and it is progressive, it searches by title, content and tags. It is commercial, well-supported and pretty. KatanaĪ new entrant into the field of notetaking apps for the Mac OS, Katana is a nice little program which does most of what nvALT does. Which brings me to Katana - Note app for Mac OSX. ![]() So I have been keeping a lookout for commercial alternatives to nvALT. Will the bugs be fixed? Will they keep up with changes in the next OS? I like freeware, but I can't find myself relying on it. I am always afraid when I see no revenue streams. Donations are great, but they are not a revenue stream. Unfortunately due to the open source origins of the program, there is no money to be made of this software. If you need help in trying to figure out how to use nvALT, you should read this Michael Schechter post. But if you use the program, consider donating to the fine folks who bought you this notetaking nirvana. If you haven't tried nvALT, you owe it to yourself to download it, and change your notetaking life. They tweaked, they fixed, they added, they enhanced: They created the ultimate Markdown and Multimarkdown based note-taking system on any OS. They took an excellent text editor and added Markdown and MultiMarkdown support. This changed the notetaking marketplace in the Mac OS space. Then Brett Terpstra and David Halter merged their forks of Notational Velocity and created nvALT. Tons of keyboard commands, letting the user move around without ever really touching the mouse. Even for large collection of notes, the search seemed instant, almost, wicked fast. Instant search of the title and content of your notes.One window to search your notes and the same window to create your notes. You could have a bunch of text files, and a program to interact with them. It all started with Notational Velocity, created by Zachary Schneirov. ![]()

After a lifetime at his mother’s side, Buster rebelled and joined the army, though he stopped short of serving (he skipped training in favor of gaining prowess at an arcade claw-machine). Of those siblings, brothers Gob (Will Arnett) and Buster (Tony Hale) were given especially meaty storylines in Season Two. The show is fearless (occasionally perversely so) in its willingness to make the likable Michael - the heart of the show - as foolish as his lazy siblings. This was clear in his passive-aggressive opposition to teen son George Michael’s (Michael Cera) relationship with religious zealot Ann (Mae Whitman). ![]() ![]() This season, those influences took their toll, and Michael’s own actions were increasingly selfish. “Good” son Michael (the peerlessly deadpan Jason Bateman) struggles to teach his family lessons, to do the right thing, only to be undone by the farce and selfishness of those around him. ![]() (There’s also no pesky laugh track, but plenty of extra sight gags, wordplay, and in-jokes.) The family’s “children” are grown and saddled with insecurities, equal parts childish and sadly-adultish. Arrested crossbreeds that same sharpness and surrealism with the more complicated dynamics of a “family” sitcom, but without the pesky kids. By dispensing with life lessons, family exchanges, and serious love interests, Seinfeld followed its own comedic muse, to a result both real and surreal. I mention Seinfeld because Arrested is the only live-action sitcom to advance the form since that ’90s megahit. So was Seinfeld, particularly near the series’ end. And I do mean saga: with about a dozen major characters and another dozen recurring guests (Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Liza Minnelli, Judy Greer, Amy Poehler, Ian Roberts, and Henry Winkler have stepped in and out of the show over its 40 episodes), Arrested is dense. A faux documentary, it follows the ongoing saga of the Bluths, a wealthy, spoiled family nearly brought down by their patriarch’s (Jeffrey Tambor) shady business dealings. Not so with Arrested, which springs unexpectedly from former Golden Girls writer Mitchell Hurwitz. It’s as if coming strong out of the gate is a liability: many of the best recent comedies ( Simpsons, Seinfeld) took a few years to hit creative peaks. And none lived to see a second season, much less the chance, however slim, at a third. Only a few series ( Freaks and Geeks, Undeclared, My So-Called Life, Andy Richter Controls the Universe) have delivered first seasons as good as Arrested‘s. The network won’t announce its fall lineup until mid-May, and meanwhile is spending untold millions promoting any and every show created by Seth MacFarlane. Several weeks after completing an abbreviated second season (Fox cut its episode order from the standard 22 to 18), the show’s fate remains in limbo. TV critics have been unusually united behind the question, “Why aren’t more people watching Arrested Development?” Though it garnered Fox a rare Best Comedy Series Emmy last fall, Arrested couldn’t bring in big ratings in the plum post- Simpsons time slot. ![]() 2/20/2023 0 Comments Minute of islands xbox![]() Hopefully, this is a technical problem that will get resolved because it's hard to ignore. It tries to create this ripple effect but it looks entirely unfinished. A weird line animation can be found in the ocean in the back. ![]() In docked mode, the game's frame rate will often stutter but not as much in handheld mode. The hand-drawn visuals of Minute of Islands are beautiful and animations are mostly smooth. The rest is traveling from various islands to restart the air purifiers and save the Giants. Many use the same concepts over and over again such as using Mo's Omni Switch as a crank, pushing blocks to restart heart-like devices, collecting key items in an order, and restarting air filters. The gameplay focuses on exploration and basic puzzles. Mo will also experience hallucinations when exposed to the plague for too long. This is complemented in the environment as various animals are shown dead or dying from the plague, their corpses full of yellow spores. Most importantly the urgency of what Mo is doing and how she cannot fail. These moments highlight how dire things have become and how much life has changed. Before the plague, Mo will remember moments where the world was more lively and people lived without the fear of suffocation. Much of the game's lore is told through optional memories that provide context into Mo's life, her relationships, and the world before the exodus. Mo's appearance showcases a bright and compassionate person but after a while, we learn she's dedicated to her mission but also cold and isolated. She takes her job seriously but prefers isolation, even putting herself in danger to accomplish her goals and hurting those close to her. This provides an extensive understanding of what each character is feeling despite static animations and no other voices. The entire story is spoken through a narrator who explains the setting, past events, and the feelings of the characters. One day the machine stops working and now Mo must restart the machines by repowering the Giants and the air purifiers as the player learns of the world that once was and the new one they live in. ![]() This Giant makes Mo its apprentice gives her a powerful device that can control Giant machinery called the Omni Switch. 4 Giants now filter the air using powerful machines with protagonist Mo befriending 1 of them. Saved by Giants a blight now ravages the land and survivors live in constant fear of the plague. Minute of Islands takes place in a new world, dead yet still barely alive. The gameplay is simple and exploration limited but Minute of Islands succeeds in delivering a dark emotional journey worth experiencing. Protagonist Mo must travel through various islands to try and resolve the issue while battling her own demons. During her quest, she discovers that not all is as it seems and the damage may actually be worse.Minute of Islands is a richly beautiful tale where the world has fallen after a toxic plague. Survivors now depend on air purifiers powered by Giants but now those life-saving machines have shut down. Wanting to protect her family and friends, the young engineer Mo goes on a journey to repair the machines using her highly versatile Omni Switch tool and save the islands. But these ancient machines have started to fail. The region has been polluted by dangerous spores and the only thing keeping the island and people safe are ancient antennas that have been built by giants. Minute of Islands puts players on an archipelago described as both beautiful and strange. This was confirmed by Mixtvision Publishing Director Benjamin Feld who added that the additional time was in the interest of the players. However, it was postponed and Studio Fizbin Game Director Anjin Anhut revealed that the delay was to ensure players would enjoy the game in the best possible condition. The game was initially announced to be released on March 18. ![]() Ever since the game was announced back in 2019, it has earned quite a following mainly due to its captivating storyline and unique visuals. ![]() The long wait is over as Studio Fizbin’s Minute of Islands is now live. ![]() 2/20/2023 0 Comments Make a jack o lantern minecraft![]() ![]() īy those who made them, the lanterns were said to represent either spirits or supernatural beings, or were used to ward off evil spirits. Jack-o'-lanterns were also made at Halloween time in Somerset, England (see Punkie Night) during the 19th century. In these Gaelic-speaking regions, Halloween was also the festival of Samhain and was seen as a time when supernatural beings (the Aos Sí), and the souls of the dead, walked the earth. In the 19th century, " turnips or mangel wurzels, hollowed out to act as lanterns and often carved with grotesque faces," were used on Halloween in parts of Ireland and the Scottish Highlands. It is believed that the custom of making jack-o'-lanterns at Halloween time began in Ireland. The carving of vegetables has been a common practice in many parts of the world. Modern carving of a Cornish Jack-o'-Lantern made from a turnip. It is common to see jack-o'-lanterns used as external and internal decorations prior to and on Halloween. However, artificial jack-o'-lanterns with electric lights are also marketed. To create the lantern effect, a light source, traditionally a flame such as a candle or tealight, is placed within before the lid is closed. ![]() In a jack-o'-lantern, the top of the pumpkin or turnip is cut off to form a lid, the inside flesh is scooped out, and an image-usually a scary or funny face-is carved out of the rind to expose the hollow interior. Jack-o'-lanterns carved from pumpkins are a yearly Halloween tradition that developed in the United States when Irish immigrants brought their root vegetable carving tradition with them. The name is also tied to the Irish legend of Stingy Jack, a drunkard who bargains with Satan and is doomed to roam the Earth with only a hollowed turnip to light his way. Its name comes from the reported phenomenon of strange lights flickering over peat bogs, called will-o'-the-wisps or jack-o'-lanterns. A jack-o'-lantern in the shape of the Wikipedia logo.Ī jack-o'-lantern (or jack o'lantern) is a carved turnip, pumpkin or other root vegetable lantern, commonly associated with the Halloween holiday. ![]() 2/20/2023 0 Comments App snap listings nyc![]() ![]() Pop-up stores themselves have become synonymous with musicians, such as Kanye West and Justin Bieber, looking to sell limited edition clothing. This strategy could largely be to avoid a consumer flop, in the vein of Google Glass, which never really generated the mass appeal that Google desired. Snap’s new retail push reinforces the belief that Spectacles are not being marketed as a product for techies, but rather as a fun “toy” (as CEO Evan Spiegel put it) for Snapchat fans. The pop-up store’s opening hours are 4-10 p.m. ![]() in New York, and is open through to New Year’s Eve. ![]() The Spectacles pop-up store is located at 5 E. 59th St. We're checking out in NYC today on our Snap Story = /a5EIXPpL2K The store doesn’t offer rows upon rows of Spectacles, with consumers still having to rely on the sole “Snapbot” vending machine to grab the wearable, which itself only stocks a limited amount. Those expecting an Apple store-style retail environment may feel let down. One of the first 6 people at the popup store in NYC *directly* across the street from the store /v7ZLQJIQ3s Inside, the design of the space is minimal, with large, smartphone-shaped screens dotted along the walls and said vending machine as the central attraction. Shoppers eager to buy the buzzing product that has thus far been released in limited quantities through a quirky vending machine will have to queue up early - Twitter users noted a line forming outside the store at 8 a.m. The storefront itself simply states “Spectacles,” without any mention of Snap or Snapchat. The branding outside the shop matches the bright yellow Spectacles billboards that have been spotted around Los Angeles. The visual messaging app’s parent company, Snap, has quietly opened a pop-up store in Midtown Manhattan, New York, overlooking the Apple Store. Snapchat wants to give everyone a chance to get their hands on its video-recording sunglasses, known as Spectacles, in time for the holidays. ![]() 2/20/2023 0 Comments The real war of thrones![]() ![]() That straight line ended with the succession of Richard II. ![]() So much that it is best not to upset any historians by trying to summarize it in a sentence… Whoops. With a clean passage of power from 1189 to 1377-during which Henry II likely murdered Beckett, Richard I went on his Crusade, and King John reluctantly signed the Magna Carta-a whole lot of history happened. This house and their Angevin Empire were Frankish transplants that had the most successful direct lineage in British history. Unlike our fair Starks and Lannisters, the Yorks and Lancasters stemmed (tenuously) from the same royal family line: the House Plantagenet. So shake off those post-battling bastards celebration blues and join us for a fun, brief look at some of the influences at play in this whacky game. It could be a place where things like the Red Wedding would merely indicate that it’s Tuesday. Martin may have borrowed from Tolkien, there were countless moments derived from a true medieval world that was decidedly less chivalrous than other fantasy writers would have you believe. Still, there is a lot of fun Middle Age history wrapped around this story of dragons and White Walkers, and for every element author George R.R. ![]() The kind of fairy tale only Kissinger could find happy. Woah, don’t think we’ve all gone crazy! Some around here may be brushing up on their High Valyrian, but we all realize this is just a little slice of high fantasy and nihilistic realpolitik. Hence we thought it’d be a fun time to take a look at the series’ origins and consider the real history of Game of Thrones. Executive Producer is Samuel Kissous for Pernel Media.Game of Thronesis dominating everything on television at the moment, and like a Frey at a wedding party, we feel like dancing in celebration to these tidings. “This success demonstrates an international appetite for epic docu-drama series and we are currently developing several new productions to serve it” said Samuel Kissous, President of Pernel Media.ĭistributed by France Télévisions Distribution, the second series of ‘The Real War of Thrones A History of Europe’ was commissioned by Caroline Behar (Head of documentaries) and Thierry Mino (Deputy Head of Documentaries, acquisitions and international co-productions) at France 5. “The domestic and global success of ‘The Real War of Thrones A History of Europe’ builds on Pernel Media’s reputation for producing high-end factual series with great production value” said Samuel Kissous, President of Pernel Media. The reign of ‘Bloody’ Mary Tudor and her aggressive attempts to reverse the English Reformation led by her father Henry VIII, the reestablishment of Protestantism under Elizabeth I and the claim to the throne of Mary, Queen of Scots all feature along with the turbulent interlinked stories of rival dynasties of the time including House of Valois and Catherine de Medici in France, the Habsburgs and the Princes of the Holy Roman Empire in Spain and Germany. įollowing strong domestic ratings for the first season (4 x 60’) and initial international sales to Foxtel, Viasat World, TV5, Curiosity Stream and the production of a UK version for History UK, the new series will feature an extended order of 6 x 60’ episodes.Īgain, featuring lavish drama reconstruction, it will focus on the struggles between Catholic and Protestant faiths and the intertwined relationships of rival and related European houses during the 1500’s. Independent TV Production Company Pernel Media today announces it has been commissioned by France 5 to produce a second series of hit docu-drama series ‘The Real War of Thrones A History of Europe’. ![]() 2/20/2023 0 Comments Tf2 sentry![]() ![]() These are invaluable during sudden death matches. Place a dispenser strategically on the front lines to provide teammates a consistent source of health.Be wary, though, that dispensers generate metal at a relatively slow pace, so don't expect to have a batch of metal right after it finishes constructing itself. Coupled with a nearby sentry, a dispenser can provide virtually unlimited metal, ammo, and health to an Engineer and to other players. ![]() ![]() It will also heal teammates, although much more slowly than a Medic. The dispenser slowly generates metal and ammo for teammates. They are the equivalent of a Heavy's mini-gun and a Soldier's rocket launcher. Level 3 sentries are the most powerful, able to rotate and shoot rapidly with rockets and additional rounds.They are roughly comparable to a Heavy's mini-gun. Level 2 sentries have stronger firepower and can rotate faster than Level 1 sentries.Pretty much any class can handle a sentry at this point They are comparable in firepower to the Scout pistol. They fire rounds and rotate much more slowly than other levels, making them susceptible to damage by faster players. At its lowest level, the sentry will only complement the team's defense/offense, at Level 2 and higher the sentry is capable of shutting down any enemies in the sentry's vicinity, with the exception of spies. Each level upgrade requires an additional 200 metal. Sentries have three levels of firepower (levels 1, 2, and 3), which can be upgraded by obtaining more metal and hitting it with your wrench.Sentries have a limited range, which is outlined by a wall of your team's color prior to placement. These turrets will automatically fire at any oncoming enemies, making them a staple in base defense. Be sure to keep it well guarded in the meantime, otherwise, an enemy can easily destroy it before it finishes. You can also hit it a few times with your wrench to speed up the process. Place a structure at your desired location and watch as it automatically begins to construct itself. Select a blueprint and turn it 90º by right clicking, if you desire. Engineers have the ability to build a sentry gun, a dispenser, and teleporter entrance/exits. Understand how to use each of your structures. ![]() 2/20/2023 0 Comments Cyber shadow trophies![]() ![]() Now in a robot body without much time to live, Shadow takes his final mission to defeat Dr. One of the few survivors, a robot named L-Gion, takes desperate measures and prematurely wakes up Shadow, one of the strongest members of the clan, from stasis. The city's protectors, a clan of ninjas, have been almost completely wiped out. Progen, who plans to spread the destruction even further. The synthetics that used to serve the city have gone berserk and take orders from the mad Dr. Inti Creates published the game in Japan.įollowing a freak explosion, the futuristic Mekacity has been reduced to ruins. It is the second non- Shovel Knight indie game to be published by Yacht Club (the first was Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack, though it was a physical Compilation Rerelease and not a new game like Cyber Shadow). It’s pretty much designed for challenge or speed runs.Cyber Shadow is a retraux Platform Game developed by Mechanical Head Games and published by Yacht Club Games, released on Januon PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. This is going to be a plus for players that want to play after they’ve seen the end credits and get better at it. You start to move almost on instinct and it all moves so seamlessly and quick, just like a ninja should. Wait a moment and now move forward so you can avoid the guy that was going to knock you into a bottomless pit. ![]() There’s no greater feeling than after you’ve died a handful of times and then you get the magical run. Like Ninja Gaiden, the game is at its best during those moments where everything clicks. How badly do you need that weapon upgrade at your next checkpoint? These are the kinds of decisions you’ll be making throughout your playthrough that add depth to the game in a very real way. There’s a chest you can grab that likely will have essence in it, but you’ll have to cross over some insta kill spikes. This makes currency something valuable and important which in turn creates risk vs. When you do that, the checkpoint now will always perform that task. Throughout the game, you collect a currency called essence, which allow you to buy upgrades such as SP restoration, a weapon upgrade, or a health boost. Cyber Shadow doesn’t have that problem, and the checkpoints also play an integral role in how the game plays while keeping things fair. Part of why NES games were as difficult as they were was because they were limited technologically. When you die in Cyber Shadow it will rarely feel cheap or the fault of poor design. What makes it feel modern more than anything else is the brutal challenge still feels fair. The art is phenomenal, the movement is perfect for what it’s trying to be, and it runs smooth. There are knockback and bottomless pits that feel way too much like Castlevania to be a coincidence, and the oftentimes brutal difficulty is so akin to the era that anyone who grew up playing those games should feel right at home.īut that doesn’t mean the game is trapped in the past: Cyber Shadow does enough to feel modern game despite its retro inspiration. The influences are everywhere: every time you defeat a major boss you get a new powerup similar to Megaman. But those challenges all come with a reward, whether it’s just a checkpoint station or a new ability, to make the test worth passing.īut Calling Cyber Shadow a Ninja Gaiden clone would be unfair, if only because Yacht Club games was more so inspired by the NES as a whole. Any time you feel like you’re finally hitting a groove, a new enemy or challenge is thrown in front of you. New enemies are thrown at you frequently and they can be placed in some pretty devious ways. Levels consistently test your reflexes and judgment skills. ![]() That’s it, and once you’re used to how he moves around you better be ready for a wild ride.Ĭyber Shadow is an extremely challenging game. He can jump and has a sword with which to slash. You get a chance to briefly understand the weight of your character, Shadow. Much like the mechanics, you’re just gonna have to go out there and figure it out. The robot will immediately throw names and plot at you, but obviously, you don’t know what any of it means. As in when you push start and awake in a room with nothing but a strange robot to talk to. The easiest part of Cyber Shadow is the very beginning of the game. Unlike those NES games that ultimately felt unfair, though, Cyber Shadow is always leaving you breadcrumbs to make the tasks in front of you possible, which is what makes it so great. Much like the NES games it’s clearly inspired by, Cyber Shadow expects you to wing it and learn the large majority of its mechanics on your own. In fact, it feels like a game actively avoiding your hand altogether. ![]() |
