Yakuza 4 remastered review6/30/2023 Though it's a huge, easily 90-hour game to experience everything, you'll spend a good chunk of that reading text boxes and watching cutscenes. All of their stories might trade in well-worn clichés, but there's so much character development and examination of why people operate on the wrong side of the tracks, but aren't necessarily evil, that it hardly feels like familiar terrain.ĭepending on how open-minded you are and your familiarity with the series, this unchanged entry is either cause to celebrate or a chance to test how much your sensibilities (and attention span) can be challenged. Also new is charming loan shark/club owner with a heart of gold Shun Akiyama, who sincerely wants to improve people's lives with his loans but also has a mysterious path. There's Masayoshi Tanimura, a corrupt cop so dangerous his superiors can't interfere with his actions. There's Taiga Saejima, a prisoner who escaped to evade his death sentence and seek revenge on those who framed him, who must sneak around at all times. (Though the spinoff follow-up, Yakuza of the End, suggests the series will play it safe, but also very crazily, by introducing packs of roving zombies to Japan.) What is a bit frustrating, though, is leveling up a character over about 10 hours, only to be dumped into another character's world, and starting over with no items at level 1.Īnd though much of each of their worlds take place within the same city, their paths and reasons for getting there are all distinctly different. Each character’s different fighting styles and narratives take a while to warm up to, but it's refreshing to see a bold move so late into a series' life. Their stories within the criminal underworld - and how a murder at a tranny strip club ripples out to the entire city - all fit together unexpectedly in the end, giving a greater significance to your actions when you're finally allowed to control series protagonist Kazuma Kiryu again. Yakuza 4 is no different in that regard, though it drastically bucks tradition by adding three new playable characters whose tales compose the first three quarters of the game.

The last worker game6/30/2023 Jüngle not be progressive, he has rainbow hair!" Thanks, but I kinda picked up on the bit just seeing the coiffure in question. At one point a character mockingly intones, "How could Mr. It's more straightforward than I expected: I clocked the lone twist pretty quickly, and The Last Worker could be a bit too eager to explain its jokes. Your mileage may vary on how much of a bummer that is (I was grumbling), but overall the game's story and characters are fun and a good hang. This bit spoke to the potential of spatial hovercraft sneaking, but was sadly a one-off occurrence.Īt the risk of spoiling too much, The Last Worker kinda does the Bioshock Infinite thing where the rebels are actually a bunch of greedy assholes and both sides are bad. There is one set piece where you descend through a silo, avoiding bots' circular patrol routes at each level. Your six degrees of freedom are well catered-to in the warehouse work portions, which make you fly up and down massive stacks of boxes to find your packages, while most of the stealth portions could be pretty easily replicated with your boots on the ground. My big complaint with the stealth is that I wish the hovercraft's verticality had been leveraged more here. I was very excited by this mechanic-it has the sort of "gotcha" trolling capacity as Papers, Please's bureacratic battles: "Oh, you thought this box was fine because it was undamaged and the correct weight? You moron! You forgot to check the size!" Combining a hand-crafted art style from comics legend Mick McMahon, with uniquely immersive gameplay mechanics in an epic setting. Using a compass projected from Kurt's hovercraft, you have to fly through the facility to your next package, check it for damage, weight discrepancies, or other errors, then deliver it to either "recycling" or fulfillment chutes accordingly. That package sorting is one of two main gameplay loops in The Last Worker. As a note: this game is sold as fully playable both in and out of VR, and I only had the opportunity to review the flat panel version before launch. You assume the role of Kurt, a 25-year veteran of the Amazon-alike Jüngle corporation who, through bureaucratic oversight, has outlasted wave after wave of automation-driven layoffs to be the literal last human worker sorting packages in a Manhattan-sized fulfillment center. The Last Worker is a fun, short, narrative puzzle game, something I'm always glad to play, but not an exemplar of the genre.

Persona 4 golden animation6/30/2023 favorite game is Persona 4 and will cherish it till the day I die, I’ve also adored its Vita port, Persona 4 Golden. It would be of no surprise to anyone that it was a thing that, in the end, would be looked at as a project that could not be called anything but unnecessary. However, the event that started the whole milking process began with announcing an entire adaptation of Persona 4 in anime form back in 2011. That is not a negative connotation, as the spin-off games and the Vita port are excellent in their own right. What began as a triumphant success, both critically and commercially, in the gaming culture, even outside the JRPG community, has now devolved into whoring itself out. For Persona fans, I don't really think you all enjoy this adaptation anyway. I recommend you guys maybe don't watch this shit., it can make your eye close or cry. Well, just because it's an alternative setting, that doesn't mean it doesn't important. The problem is the rest of the party, they just waiting for turns to talk, just like cycles. Yu in Golden is more charismatic and courageous person. The art in P4Golden is a bit brighter and simple than the original story (talk about junk), the songs are quite matching with the series.Īnd now for the character section, our protagonist Yu Narukami clearly have different personalities than the original story. So, the story is clearly have been rushed in 12 episode., basically, the original story is almost gone from the entire series, because they just retell the events that not included in the original story (pointless events indeed) 12 episode, while the original Persona 4 The Animation have 2x more episode than Golden. Well, I don't care if it's alternative or not, I just want to watch some good stuff. The story retells the original story with a new character or should I say, this is an alternative setting. The Story, ummm.i can't say much because there not so much to talk about. I'm a Persona fans, a huge fan of it! But, I have to say one word for P4 The Golden, "DISAPPOINTING!!!"Īctually, I don't want to throw my precious time to write a bad review, but this 'anime' is forced me to do so.

Large photo emulsion screen printing6/30/2023 The emulsions are light-sensitive liquid chemicals that are applied to the screen, and they become more sensitive as they dry. Spread the Photo Emulsion onto the Screenįirst, users should mix the sensitizer and the emulsion thoroughly according to the directions on the containers. The screen should also be allowed to dry thoroughly.Ĥ. It is important to keep the fabric straight so that the holes in the mesh of the fabric allow the ink to pass through it evenly.Ī commercially prepared screen that has already been used should be prepared for printing by washing it thoroughly with a mild abrasive to ensure that none of the holes are clogged with dirt, grease, or previously used ink. Users should make sure that the fabric is stretched as tight as possible and is secured thoroughly with a staple gun applied all around the frame. Some people make their own mesh screens for printing by taking an old wooden picture frame and covering it tightly with an organdy silk screen fabric, or even cut-up old gauzy nylon curtains. Squeegees are available in several different sizes, and they are made from a single piece of vinyl or from a comfortable wooden holder with a rubber blade. It is used to apply and spread the ink through the screen onto the T-shirt or other object. It might be fun to choose several different colors and make several versions of the screen print art.Ī squeegee is an important tool in screen printing. Users need to buy enough screen printing ink to transfer the design to the object being printed. Users must make sure to mix enough to thoroughly cover the screen. The sensitizer and emulsion come separately and must be mixed together and applied to the screen. It is the surface on which the screen is placed to burn the image onto the screen. This flat black object should be large enough on which to place the frame. Metal screens are the most durable and stand up to many washings and printings. This is the screen through which the ink is transferred onto the object to be printed. The screen frame is usually made of wood and is very tightly covered with a fine mesh material. The object should be clean and ready to absorb the ink. The screen printing can be done on paper, on canvas, or on just about anything made from fabric, like a T-shirt, a tablecloth and napkins, a scarf, a tote bag, or simply a piece of fabric that is framed and hung as art. Once the artwork to be screen printed has been selected and prepared, it is time to gather the rest of the necessary materials and equipment. Gather the Materials Needed for Screen Printing Whether it is printed or hand-drawn, the artwork blocks the emulsion on the screen and the emulsion is washed off the design, allowing the ink to pass through the screen and transfer the design onto the T-shirt or other object that is imprinted.Ģ. The objective is to create what artists call a “film positive” of the artwork, which is 100 percent black on a clear background. Beginners should create simple designs with fairly clear, thick lines since screen printing delicate, fine-lined artwork can be tricky. Original artwork can be painted directly onto a transparency or onto any piece of sturdy, clear plastic. Most copy shops do this for a very small fee. The best way to prepare artwork to be screen printed is to have it copied onto a transparency. Choose or Create the Artwork to Be Screen Printed The process of screen printing using mesh stencils made with photosensitive chemical emulsions are explained below, with helpful tips for each step to enable any artist (whether novice or expert) to achieve success in screen printing.ġ.

Game of life conway java6/30/2023 * based on the number neighbors from arr to future array. * This function simply gets the number of neighbors for each cell, and saves the future generation I'm not sure where the implementation of the threads really goes, Any guidance or explanations would be greatly appreciated!įirst of all, your checkN function is way overengineered. Private int alive // 0 is dead 1 is alive. My Cell class looks like: public class Cell implements Runnable Game of Life (in Java) is an Conways Game of Life implementation in Java with GUI written in JavaFX and optional console output. I have 3 classes, Main, Cell, and CellRules Now, I've been watching videos on how to use threading, but i'm still unsure as to how i'm supposed to implement this for each cell. So i can print the 20x20 grid, and each cell is initialized as a random number 1 or 0, where 1 is alive, and 0 is dead. My first goal was to simply get the game working, which i did (pretty fun challenge) So like the title says, I have to make a program that implements threading in Conway's game of life, where each dead or alive cell is a thread. The more complicated issues concern (as we may expect) that all UI calls are different, and especially that Java is Thread-based, but JavaScript is callback-based, so any program flow that relies on threads (as in my case) has to completely reworked.Conway's game of life with each cell being a thread the bits in the conway/life machine can only influence their neighbours.
