I was hoping for RT3 + sandbox mode (remember that? yeah, we used to have that), but with better strategy (you could never beat the computer in the stock market). I was hoping to hear some thought on Railroads, because I bought it today, and I can tell.good God it is awful. I haven't been on this forum in a while, because I grew frustrated with Civ. Trying to make them appealing for everybody is not possible, but thats my take on things, I dont mean to be so negative on this post, but after playing RT1 RT2 & RT3 u come to expect better. I read somewhere that PC Games sales are dropping every year, dumbing down the greatest strategy games is NOT going to help. from coast to coast trough praries,mountains, valleys, rivers, and all kinds of terrain. In RT3 I loved just trailing the train with the cam, and admiring my railroad empire, and feeling the grand scope of the U.S. Well for right now ill fire up RT3, and hopefully in the future there will be a better release. I didnt see an editor, but maybe theyll add one in the future EP. Skyscrapers and modern buildings in 1800's. Like the previous post said, simplification of stock market. Loss of micromanagement, there isnt anything to do after a while. Small maps, no more grand feeling of connecting the Nation or regions or accomplishment. Im not going to bore you guys with all the complaints i have but the major ones are, Whoever said Sid Meier isnt programming any more, I believe you, this feels like a dumbed down Railroad Tycoon. I am very sad to say that Sid Meiers Railroads is getting uninstalled off of my hard drive at this very moment, after playing it for a few hours. (Immediately after playing it, passing out at 6 a.m., and then waking up, of course - despite the flaws, it's got the addictive gameplay qualities we know and love in Sid's games - there are serious flaws, but it's still INCREDIBLY fun.) RRT was the first computer game I *ever* bought, so my reaction to SMR was pretty visceral and instant - more thoughts will pop up over time, I'm sure, but this was one of the few times I've had to go on the internet and "register my thoughts" on a game immediately after playing it. The first impressions post linked to above goes into huge detail about issues with the routing system - but if you hate how it works (or *doesn't* work!) on "hard" mode, it's a Very Good Thing that they include easy/medium modes to balance things out. If you put one of your trains on competitors' tracks it would probably *never* get anywhere. It may ultimately be a smart move: your OWN track gets horribly congested with your own trains. The inability to use your competitors' track is a throwback to RRT really (I think both RRT2 and 3 let you do that). I was HUGELY disappointed to not be able to borrow money anymore (issuing bonds), but the game seems to let you build trains and stations(?) (but not track) even when you run out of cash, so that partially compensates for that. The "auctions" for patents and industries are a cool new twist which compensate for castrated stock market part of the game. There are some nice new twists - in the old game you'd get a bonus to be first to connect to a city - now you have to connect AND deliver a certain type of cargo to get your bonus, adding more nuance. How you ultimately feel about SMR will depend on how much you "miss" the things that were stripped out vs. While this may ultimately be a good move - I can imagine many people get turned off by the complications of the earlier stock market simulations - the thing is, the old stock market simulations were basically an entire game within the game! If anything, there's much more variety on the diesel side - which IIRC kinda topped out at like 2 for the US scenarios in RRT.Ī nice switch is you get money back when you scrap track/trains and when you upgrade engines, you apparently only pay the difference.Ī huge disappointment is the HUGE simplification in the stock market - rather than pay out dividends (RRT2/RRT3) or have stock splits (all previous games), in this game there's only 10 units of stock per company - worth 10% of the company each. The variety of trains is actually pretty similar to original RRT - a few names have changed, a few trains have been added/deleted - but the classics are there:

It all comes down to one poor decision: in order to view widgets on Windows 11 right now, you have to either use the Win+W shortcut or press a button on the taskbar. Although I don’t think the widget panel should go away, Microsoft should give users the ability to pin widgets to the desktop (or the Start menu) as well. I’d love to be able to quickly glance at information from my to-do list, keep track of my fitness goals, or view the status of my smart devices anytime I visit my desktop.Īs it stands, Windows 11’s widgets fail at what makes them most useful on other platforms: the ability to provide information without making you search for it. But with rumors that Microsoft is opening the feature to third-party developers soon, I’m hoping the company actually makes the feature altogether more practical. Granted, there are also very few widgets currently available in the first place. Considering the widgets panel can only be accessed via a shortcut or taskbar button, it’s destined to be ignored by the majority of users. Instead, the company severely limited widgets by collecting them in a hidden side panel. With Windows 11, Microsoft went back to traditional widgets and had a chance to make them as useful as they are on our smartphones. These were Start menu items that doubled as application launchers and sources of glanceable information. Then Windows 8 and Windows 10 abandoned traditional widgets in favor of Live Tiles. Windows 7 allowed you to place these gadgets wherever you wanted on your desktop, but these were eventually deemed a security hazard and eventually scrapped. Vista had the Windows Sidebar, a collection of widgets (then called ‘gadgets’) that provided glanceable information on one side of your desktop. Windows has a rocky history with widgets. She has also claimed to be "as old as the ocean + 1", which would make her around 4.5 billion years old.

Leveling up characters requires the accumulation of Experience (EXP). Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn allows every player character to level up and progress every class and job in the game, given enough time. These classes are focused more on gathering resources and crafting finished products for personal use or for selling to other players. Players may later also choose more mundane crafting and harvesting classes, the Disciple of Land or the Disciple of Hand. Players then get to choose their Combat Class: Disciple of War or Disciple of Magic, which is further expanded by the traditional roles of Tank, DPS, and Healing to the more Final Fantasy-specific jobs such as Paladin, Monk, Dragoon, Summoner, and many others. Note that, currently, only female Viera and male Hrothgar are available.Īside from the race, players may also choose which region they hail from, which has an effect on the starting attributes. Players in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn create their character avatars who will be adventuring in this recovering world to usher in the Seventh Astral Era, working to stop the invasion from the Garlean Empire looms, the Beastmen tribes and their misuse of ancient primals, and the machinations of the immortal Ascians.ĭuring character creation, a player gets to choose one of the 8 races: the Hyur (traditional humans), Elezen (Elf-like people), Lalafell (small and child-like), Miqo'te (feline race with tails), Roegadyn (large and muscular), Au Ra (draconic with horns and scales), Viera (human-like but with bunny ears), and the Hrothgar (lion-like humanoids). The setting takes place five years after the original Final Fantasy XIV ended with the great dragon Bahamut destroying most of Eorzea, initiating the Seventh Umbral Era. In Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, players explore the world of Hydaelyn in the region of Eorzea. FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Description In each Scene, you place your environments, obstacles, and decorations, essentially designing and building your game in pieces. Think of each unique Scene file as a unique level. More info See in Glossary in an open Unity Scene A Scene contains the environments and menus of your game. The output is either drawn to the screen or captured as a texture. You can set it to be a solid color, a specific texture (a mock up from a UI Designer), or a live view from a Camera A component which creates an image of a particular viewpoint in your scene. To change the background, select the Canvas in the Inspector pane. You can change the Canvas background to make editing the UI in context easier. You can also lock the Canvas size to the size of the Unity Game Window using the Match Game View checkbox to align with a runtime UI environment: CanvasSizeSettings Change Canvas background More info See in Glossary pane, where you will see fields for Canvas height and width. For exact sizing, click on the header of the Canvas through the Inspector A Unity window that displays information about the currently selected GameObject, asset or project settings, allowing you to inspect and edit the values. You can add images, sliders, buttons and a lot of familiar UI elements by using this method. Of course, there is much more to the UI system than simply making static or dynamic text. Create a few duplicates of the target gameObject and try it out. To resize the Canvas inside the Viewport, drag the edges or corners. This code will now change the score by 500 each time you hit the target. Any settings related to the Canvas, like its size, aren’t saved as part of the UI Document (UXML) but stored in a separate settings file for the next time you open the same UI Document (UXML). More info See in Glossary to bring it into view. If you can’t see it, select the Fit Canvas button in the Viewport toolbar A row of buttons and basic controls at the top of the Unity Editor that allows you to interact with the Editor in various ways (e.g. More info See in Glossary Document (UXML). Unity currently supports three UI systems. See in Glossary pane, you can find the Canvas, a floating re-sizable edit-time container that contains a live version of the UI (User Interface) Allows a user to interact with your application. The cube’s color will become red.Within the Viewport The user’s visible area of an app on their screen. Use this to fetch or change the Color of visual UI elements, such as an Image. To assign Cube this red color, drag and drop ColorMaterial onto the cube in the Scene.Īlternatively, drag and drop ColorMaterial in the Element 0 field in the Cube’s Mesh Renderer component. The builtin UI Components use this as their vertex color. Give ColorMaterial a purely red color, as has been done in the following screenshot. A purely red color has red and alpha values of 255. The same goes for green and blue.Īlpha refers to a color’s transparency. The more red in a color, the higher the red value. This is because every color can be represented as a combination of four values: red, green, blue, and alpha. The values of the sliders labeled “R”, “G,” “B”, and “A” will change. This will open a color picker, as you can see in the following image.Ĭhoose a color such as red. Click on the white rectangle in the “Main Maps” section under “CubeMaterial”. The Inspector will contain attributes of ColorMaterial. Change the material’s name to “CubeMaterial”. Select Create > Material.Īs evident in the following image, a material will appear in Assets. Right-click in the Assets folder in the Project window. We start with coloring the Image one, simply setting its color to. Left one is a Sprite has SpriteRenderer and the right one is an Image. These changes were very easy to make on Unity UI Use Case: We start with having 2 2d art element in our project. To change the cube’s color, we need to create our own material. Now the star is yellow with other changes on the screen. Unity provides the default material “Default-Material” for the cube. Suppose we want to change the color of a cube in Unity’s Scene.

With this and a power source plugged in, this mac should be running forever. Plus I have turned off Bluetooth and other unnecessary services & notifications. So even after an unexpected restart, the system will continue running. Also, I have enabled this application to start at the system launch. We can create a session with an indefinite time period, meaning the system will not go to sleep indefinitely, which is exactly what I want. But I kept the existing macOS because this is still an experiment, am not sure if I will be using this setup for a long time (if so then I will switch OS) plus I use another Mac for work, so the compatibility for connections and Screen sharing is built-in.Ĭurrently its running macOS High Sierra (that's the last supported OS for this mac) Softwareįor the OS the best practice would be to replace macOS with some Linux distribution which is perfect for a server (you don't need any GUI). Overall this machine is packed with some hardware to handle some load. For more storage, I can always make use of the External Hard drives connected via the USB. So I have removed the optical drive and replaced it with a 1TB HDD (2.5 inches) with the help of an HDD Caddy (it's cheap). I have already replaced the default HDD with 250GB SSD as the boot volumeĪlso, this mac has an optical drive (yea remember it?) which has no use nowadays.it has already been upgraded to 16GB DDR3 RAM.2.0GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor, which should be more than enough for my use case.Let's look at what this mac has, Hardware “Essential factors as they allow the intern to develop faster, expand their list of activities and increasingly be able to assume a position with greater demands and responsibilities.” 2 Develop your concentration Tips to stand out and grow in the sector from the internship 1 Show interest and curiosity “People who seek their personal development reflect this in their day-to-day work, so working with someone who is motivated and who demonstrates to be interested is a great differential”, conclude Tanner Flake. Once hired, managers expect proactivity, willingness to learn and to develop personally and professionally. For example, intellectual curiosity, learning agility, resilience and good communication skills are valued. In selection, however, there is also an expectation regarding behavioral competences. What is expected of a finance intern?Īmong technical skills, Tanner Flake point out basic knowledge in Excel, on corporate finance and accounting as the candidates’ differentials. Sadly, though, it is not surprising.Competitive, the finance area requires certain efforts for a professional at the beginning of his career to stand out.įrom the day-to-day hiring of the function – between knowledge and behavior -, understand what is expected of interns in this sector, and where to focus to develop and grow professionally, according to Tanner Flake. This is truly shameful behavior made worse by the complacent silence of the guests on this block of programming. If a conservative broadcaster on another network had made this charge it would be considered slanderous, or, at the very least, irresponsible. Of course, this a patently nonsensical position to take. I suppose Roberts must consider the Louisiana Democrat a drunk with a habit of casually putting the lives of innocent people in danger. Landrieu’s behavior “trickled down” to her son. Frank Connor Snellings was arrested on Thursday for driving intoxicated, hit-and-run driving, and driving the wrong way down a one-way street – in downtown New Orleans no less.īy Roberts’ clouded logic, this must mean that Sen. But I find it so funny that they’ve locked his account now so you can’t see the homophobic, misogynistic, or the racist crap that this kid wants to put out.”Ĭonveniently unmentioned in this segment on the inappropriate behavior of the progeny of American lawmakers was the news that broke yesterday regarding Sen. “So, if he’s going to be tweeting that stuff anymore, maybe it’s just going to go to the people that want to hear it. “Now I’m learning Tanner Flake’s Twitter account has been locked,” he added. “You would think having a better effect on their kids to be more accepting and tolerant in society.” “Everything kind of trickles down,” Roberts continued. Roberts almost manages to navigate his way out of a shockingly blanketed premise – oddly, amid a segment decrying generalizations that people prejudiced against gays or lesbians often make – but he quickly circles back and digs a deeper hole. So, let’s translate: kids on the right… oh, I mean, all kids, not just those of members of a political party with which I clearly disagree (phew!)… are they mirroring their parent’s virtually undetectable prejudice in a more easily recognized fashion? “But are we seeing, Cheryl, and entrenched homophobia on the right?” “It seems as if young kids are - on the right anyway, and all around for that matter – they’re going to do silly things,” Roberts said. Joe Heck (R-NV) was caught using insensitive and racially inflammatory language on his Twitter account. Roberts linked this episode to another in which the 16-year-old son of Rep. Jeff Flake’s (R-AZ) high school-aged son, Tanner Flake, 15, who recently sent out an angry tweet at a person who stole his bike in which he used the word “faggot.” BuzzFeed investigated Flake and discovered that he had previously made anti-Semitic and racist remarks in the past in a semi-anonymous online gaming community. This segment on MSNBC began with anchor Thomas Roberts citing a BuzzFeed report on Sen. At least this segment was consistent and, in the effort to imply that the irresponsible behavior of some lawmakers’ children is reflective of their parents’ unexpressed sentiments, they did not conveniently and intentionally ignore breaking news regarding the criminal behavior of the offspring of a Democratic lawmaker… oh, wait. Unless, of course, indicting Republican lawmakers over the insensitive or incendiary behavior of their children is what you would consider responsible broadcasting. Straight news segments on MSNBC are not what they used to be. |
