I won't spoil the solution just yet, in case you want to figure it out yourself.ĮDIT: I've written up a walkthrough on my current progress. I've already figured out stage 1 of the puzzle(out of 3 according to Angus' twitter), but stage 2 has me stumped. click on 'CoS Analysis' and enjoy the descent into madness(again, epilepsy/sound warning). I recommend setting aside a few hours to dig around the site and experience as much as you can find, but the new puzzle path I'm referring to starts at. This is less of an ARG and more of a trippy art installation made of hundreds of interconnected webpages that reveal a vague and terrifying narrative, but recently-added pages have substituted hyperlinks for a series of strange puzzles.

Then when items come through the sorter's inventory that match one of the items in the filter list it will first attempt to send it in the direction marked with an arrow on the sorter's sides. There is a set of inventory slots labeled "Filter" at the top of this block's inventory display, if you place an item into one of these slots the sorter will record the item's type (without actually taking it from you). ℹ️About GitHub Wiki SEE, a search engine enabler for GitHub WikisĪs GitHub blocks most GitHub Wikis from search engines.This is similar to a chute but has a secondary output that is used to shunt specific items to an alternate destination. if ball hits other block it will bounce off it.if ball hits an active block it will activate it.balls can be moved around with mover in object mode.there are 2 types of balls: OFF or ON ( depends how spawner was activated).can set move speed, jump speed, gravity, sneak.Ordinary players are limited, admin has no limits and can set skybox as well can set up physics for players near it.automate crafting by just providing materials.can grind metals/mese/diamond to dust, can grind cobble->gravel->dirt or stone->sand.processes materials for more efficient mining.will give you back ingredients used to create item with some loss.once per 5 seconds it activates the machine on top of it.with upgrades it generates better power cells (upgrade 20: power blocks, upgrade 99: power rods).slowly (1 per 20 seconds) generates power cells, used in recharging battery.Here one battery powers 7 movers and runs one furnace.By upgrading battery furnace will additionaly gain smelting speed boost if you put furnace on top of battery and activate it, furnace will run without needing any other fuel.you can use any furnace fuel to generate power or special power cells, provided by separate generator block.powers machines using builting power generator, its upgradable for larger capacity and power output.Detector working as a logic OR gate, detecting when at least one of two doors (1,1) is open and activating light (2).Here detector reads the source node (1) and passes detected node name to keypad (2).has ability to filter output signal ( only OFF, only ON or only activate if state changes).as a response it can activate machines or pass name of detected objects to keypad.can detect nodes in 2 positions at once and perform OR, AND operation.can detect nodes, players, objects, text on nodes, light levels.Here 2 distributors open door and turn on the light, then after delay the door closes and light turns off.Distributor can be used to activate many ( up to 16 ) targets at once.can filter signal (only transmit OFF or only ON).can pass input signal to up to 16 outputs, with optional delay.Mover is used to plant flowers from chest onto field.Mover can be used to harvest farms and insert harvest into chest.it needs battery nearby to work, required power depends move distance and type of operation.it can reverse direction of move or only move specific things ( filter ).it can move players or objects (instantaneous teleport or slow glide).With upgrading radius increases up to 110. ![]()

![]() ![]() If you follow me on Facebook, you may have recently read me waxing poetic about the Kevin Costner television show that airs on the Paramount network: Yellowstone. I hope you feel they’re yours just as I feel they’re mine.Īnd I hope your heart settles as they find their HEAs. I’m just here to say that I hope you feel my boys as much as I do. You’ve met (or will meet) Hugger in Dutch’s book, more mentions are to come.Īnd more stories too, in the Wild West MC Series that’ll mash up three motorcycle clubs in two states. ![]() They’ve offered me a gateway to more time with my biker brothers. I love them like they’re my own, really my own. Well, we’ll just say when Jag finally opened up to me, the results were not pretty (like, a scene I wrote, one scene, took six hours, and I cried that entire time, I…am not…lying). I knew her through and through.īut Dutch, who remembers his father, so he knows what he lost was one thing. Showing himself only in fits and starts, mostly he held himself distant and sent me around the bend. In that moment, I was good to go with Georgie.īut that emotional journey made me hesitant to dive into Jagger.Īnd when I did, he refused to come to me. Of particular note with Georgie, I gotta mention it, when they’re having lunch with Eddie and Hank, and Dutch learns something terrible that shakes him, and everything fades for her. That I had her hands and her heart to give to Dutch to hold him safe. I was so very lucky Georgie came to me as she did. How he understood how much he was loved.Īnd the enormity of what, as a five-year-old boy, he lost. This one sentence said everything about what kind of father Dutch remembered Black being. “I remember how long his legs seemed, like they went on for miles, when he lay in bed beside me, reading me a book before I went to sleep.” Then there was the moment in that book where Dutch allows the pain of loss to come to the surface, and among other things, he utters this line: His story flew from my fingers as freely as the tears flowed from my eyes as I traveled with him through the murky bi ways as he searched for his path. I felt his struggle and Georgie had come to me so strong, she was so perfect, I had to dive in. I honestly could not wait to dive into Dutch’s book. ![]() In Wild Like the Wind, when Keely is raging in her grief and sharing with the brothers what she lost in Black, my heart shredded.īut for me, more importantly (considering I was writing the book on how she’d heal, or at least come to terms and move on), the question was, how would those boys ever know what a beautiful man their father was?Ī loose end I couldn’t let dangle, my heart couldn’t hack it.Īll my characters are mine, obviously, but in that moment, it was like Dutch and Jagger sprung from my loins, not my brain.Īnd later in that book, when they took Hound’s back, I knew they’d have to find their HEAs… ![]() He was the kind of the man who walked into the room, and all mouths would smile. He was not the kind of man where he’d walk into a room and all eyes would go to him. He was the kind of man who when you spoke, and he was listening, you knew you were heard. If Black seemed nebulous or if you all felt the power of him like I did.įelt that he was not the kind of man who, when he spoke, people shut up and listened to what he had to say. He’s always there and he’s the one the leader calls on to do the work no other brother is asked to do-and shoulder the terrible burdens that come with it. That quiet man that isn’t quite in the background. You also might think Hound’s the most important brother. He lost his wife to his mission (she wasn’t much of a loss, but straight up, he sacrificed his marriage for the Club). He persevered and led and kept the brothers together, even when they were not all of like minds. You might think Tack’s the most important, and maybe he is. See, from the minute Black is mentioned as the brother who was lost during their war, it was like being hit by lightning.īut like… This guy is the most important brother in Chaos. In fact, I knew I’d probably never be done with Chaos.Īnd first, I had to go back to the Black Brothers. These men had to ride into the sunset happy and settled.īut when Dutch said that in Hound and Keely’s book, I knew I wasn’t done with Chaos. And I am my father and my mother but most of all, I’m my dad.” that I had told myself Chaos was winding down. In my book Wild Like the Wind, I knew precisely at that part, when Dutch goes to the mat for Hound and states, “This is about my father and my mother and my dad. But when He did, He left the world with two of him. God works in mysterious and sometimes hideous ways that are still wondrous. ![]() ![]() The HyperSnap window will not appear and stay up. The image will be printed with inverted black and white as specified. It will disappear when the print job is done. ![]() With the command listed below, when executed inside a batch command file, a pop-up window with a print message will appear. Just by accident, I found out, if I logged off the operator session and logged back in (same user), then the command would work. Same results were observed when using the batch command file or execute the command directly on DOS. So, I added another switch -hidden and it still did not work.

For more in depth explanation on how to use this functionality, take a look here. If you want an outline along the paths instead, select your new object, enter the Fill and Stroke dialog (Object -> Fill and Stroke), select the x (“No paint”) under the Fill tab and select the Flat color button under the Stroke paint tab. Threshold: 0.250 Threshold: 0.850īy default, the areas within the paths are filled. The higher the number, the higher the amount of edges are detected. The threshold decides how many paths that will be created. In this method, differences in brightness are considered an edge and thus a path. There are a few different tracing methods to choose from: Brightess Cutoff (single path) The newly created object will overlap the old one, so just drag one of them to the side to gaze upon the result. ![]() ![]() Have your bitmap selected, choose your tracing metod and press OK. Under Path, select Trace Bitmap (#3 from the top). We’ll use this as an example image (as seen in last weeks post): A tiny steamroller You don’t need to worry about the default frame in the main window. The Facebook and Instagram logos in this picture were initially traced using Inkscape.Īfter you have installed Inkscape, import an image file you want to trace by clicking File and then Import. We have used bitmap tracing for this purpose in this project (amongst several others). A drawing machine will then draw more like a human and less like a printer. If you have a drawing machine or CNC machine for instance, you can trace a line drawing and create toolpaths for those machines to replicate the drawing. This is our favourite reason to trace bitmaps.If you have features in your image which need to be adjusted, you can drag the nodes around and edit the curves as you see fit. Lines (nodes) within the vector domain are editable.jpg compression noise will most likely disappear). jpg online which is too small for your application, you can trace it to vector, scale it up and then export it as a bitmap again looking better than ever (the. Since everything is mathematically represented it is also “infinitely” upscaleable without having to worry about things getting pixelated.So why would you want to trace bitmaps? We have a few suggestions: Inkscape’s own logo has a typical vector graphics look (obviously) Why? What most of them have in common are smooth lines, crystal clear edges and rather simple coloring. Note that tracing is an approximation of the original image, so don’t expect to see 100% accurate traces of raster graphics.ĭo a Google image search on “vector graphics” to see examples of what these can look like. Vector graphics are however well suited for simpler images such as company logos or line drawings, to name a couple. ![]() The number of colors and the huge amounts of complexity will not be well represented within the vector domain. Good representations of actual photographs and complex drawings are not things you want to use vector graphics for. All of these geometrical shapes are based on mathematical expressions and can thus be manipulated as such. Vector graphics are images represented by geometrical shapes such as lines and curves, instead of pixels as you find in. Tracing bitmaps means that you convert a bitmap/raster image file (your usual.

You may be able to find canned or jarred red bean / azuki paste in a local Asian supermarket. If you don’t have it, here is way to substitute All-Purpose Flour + Corn Starch. This recipe called for cake flour, which was easier to come by pre-pandemic. There are many Taiyaki recipes out there, and we started with one from Just One Cookbook. Though the fish shape is intricate, Taiyaki are really no harder to make than waffles (albeit with a hand-held iron instead of an automatic one). However, my sister gave us a Taiyaki iron for Christmas, so we have been able to recreate Taiyaki at home for the first time. Fortunately, in the past few years more restaurants in the US are taking cues from the Taiyaki’s homeland of Japan, and are making these fish waffles fresh to order (we have had them recently at Taiyaki NYC and Mini Mott). We first experienced Taiyaki at Japanese restaurants in the US, and in frozen packets at the Mitsuwa grocery store. The hand-held snack has a centuries-long history and the fish shape, tai, symbolically conveys wealth. Originating in Japan, Taiyaki has a waffle-like base, and is traditionally filled with red bean paste. Inadvertently, this is an appropriate post for Poisson D’Avril / April Fool’s Day, but the recipe is no joke! Cartoon-fish-shaped Taiyaki may be the cutest dessert there is. ![]() ![]() The teams themselves have their own presentation issues. Oh, one of the teams got a bonus-which one, and how is it applied? It just started raining-what does that mean? Er, why have giant tentacles emerged around the arena, and what do they do? The info can be hunted down, but never easily. It's constantly telling you about events without making their results clear or showing you where to find out more. Similar issues carry over into the matches themselves-readability is poor, and key information is lost in random menus. ![]() Once you do manage to log in, you're confronted with a messy, awkward UI that hides core features in unexpected places and forces you to keep moving between different areas just to perform basic functions like managing your team. Some of the animations are fun, but quickly get repetitive. That's awkward enough even without the frequent account problems and server instability I've run into so far. If you want to go offline you can, but everything is totally separate-none of your progress or teams carry over between the two. The game defaults to being always online, even for singleplayer, and you have to create an account on their server to play. ![]() But the real problem is, even if all the bugs are quickly fixed, there are more fundamental problems at play. I am admittedly playing a pre-release build, but it received several updates and server resets during the period to no noticeable improvement, and it seems to me like there are more rough edges than a day-one patch can realistically smooth over. Needless to say, this makes progressing through the campaign an exercise in frustration. One bugged match can mess up your overall results and, thanks to the upgrade system that requires gold and XP earned in matches, put you at a disadvantage for the whole competition. ![]() That's infuriating enough in a one-off friendly, but it's ruinous in the competition sets that make up the campaign mode. To make matters worse, even in singleplayer there's no way to save and quit out of these often 40 minute+ matches-if you leave, you're conceding the match, and that's it. The turn timer is another oddity-in singleplayer it counts down but never does anything, and in multiplayer it seems to stop working every other turn. ![]() ![]() ![]() FireAlpaca is open-source, so there is a large team of developers who add new features, bug fixes, and updates regularly.
