![]() Rebooking Frontier’s canceled flightsįrontier will book you to the next flight available, but it’s just about guaranteed to be the worst flight you can possibly imagine. ![]() This August, however, they delayed my flight home from Ohio, then delayed it more, then canceled it due to “mechanical difficulties.” I didn’t think this would be a big deal–airlines generally help you rebook a flight–but I was wrong. I had never had an issue with them, but I’d only flown with the airline a few times. Frontier also has a reputation for canceling and delaying flights. Based on news of pilot strikes and lawsuits this summer, employees aren’t too happy with work conditions and pay. It’s ridiculous.īut anyway! Another thing to take into consideration is Frontier’s reputation. The marketing team was just in Austin this summer where they hosted an event and gave out free $10 discount codes, which doesn’t seem like much, but off of a $39 fare, it’s nothing to sneeze at.Īs a side note, if anyone can inform me as to where the phrase nothing to sneeze at came from, I’d be much obliged. If you live in a city Frontier flies to, you might be able to score discount codes, anyway. ![]() If not, skip the Discount Den Membership. So before you go joining just to get that discounted fare, make note of the routes Frontier flies and decide if you think you’ll be taking at least three round-trip journeys to those places in a 12-month period. Based on the fact that most Discount Den tickets are only discounted by $10 per one-way flight, you’d have to fly five one-way trips with Frontier to break even. Whether or not the price tag is worth it depends on how often you fly with the airline. Miles, Discounts and Reputationīut back to the subject at hand: Is Frontier Airlines worth the money you save? Well, Frontier offers miles in accordance with distance flown for no extra charge, as any airline should, so that’s nice, but they also have a paid membership plan that offers discounted fares. (Though Allegiant doesn’t offer any sort of miles program, which is a downer). Often, Frontier or Allegiant are my first choices of airlines if I need to book a quick trip home to Ohio to visit family or cheap weekend city escape. ![]() Personally, because I can usually pack everything I need in a small personal item and don’t care about where I sit and travel with my own snacks and water bottle anyway, the lack of included amenities doesn’t bother me. Even my opinion on the airline changes from day to day. (Good thing we know how to pack everything in a “personal item!“) So when you’re looking for cheap flights, is Frontier Airlines worth the money you save? No snacks, no drinks, you have to pay to pick your tiny seat with less legroom than most other airlines, and you don’t even get a full-size carry-on. Flying with Frontier is a cheap way to travel, but is it worth the money you save?įrontier Airlines is known far and wide (in the States, at least) for being one of the cheapest no-frills airlines. ![]()

![]() ![]() If you want to see how to do this, refer to the video below:ĭefeat Laserbrain without hitting it with your sword. Thus, your best bet at hitting him is after he rebounds from hitting the wall with his charge and shortly after landing from his jump. Once he arrives at the other end of the arena, he will jump up high into the air and shoot even more projectiles at you before landing and repeating the cycle. Afterwards, he will charge multiple projectiles that he will fire at you while he is also charging you. Still, his attack pattern is very easy to learn: At first, he stands stationary at one end of the arena and shoots some projectiles at you. Since you are not allowed to hit Apparitor in the back, this makes the fight somewhat more difficulty, as you are safe for most of his attacks there. If you’d like to see how it can be done, refer to the video below:ĭefeat the Apparitor without hitting him in the back. Again, this might be a bit tricky on your first attempt, but as long as your are aware of your surroundings and properly dodge the projectiles, you will earn this trophy in no time. This is as straight-forward as it sounds: Only focus on the (mini-)boss and do not destroy the turrets that will constantly shoot at you. If you’d like to say a video of how it is done, refer to the one linked below:ĭefeat Smasher without destroying the wall turrets. Keep in mind that you can come back anytime later on in the game and try this again, even after Smasher has been defeated! If you still want to get give it a go, be prepared to retry this a few times. However, since you are not allowed to kill ANY enemy between the start of the game and the first (mini-)boss, it may be a bit hard to get on your very first playthrough when you are just coming to grips with how the game works and how to get through some of the tougher sections without using your sword. This can potentially be the very first trophy you earn in the game. Reach the Smasher without killing enemies. Afterwards you can enjoy your shiny new platinum trophy!Īs the description says, collect all other trophies to get the platinum trophy for Cyber Shadow. The choice is up to you.ĭuring this step you’ll earn the following trophies:Īt this point it is time to have another look at your trophy list and knock out any trophy you might have missed. Theoretically you could combine this trophy with any of the two previous playthroughs, but it might be a good idea to give this its own playthrough. All in all, this trophy might be more of a hassle than a challenge this way, so after the “no upgrades” run you should be more than capable off doing this. Keep in mind that continue playing after getting a death will keep the timer going, so a good strategy is to regularly back-up your save before tough parts of the game, practice them for a bit, and then go back to your back-up save. Time for one more playthrough! After beating the game at both maximum and minimal power, it is time to go fast and beat it in under three hours with however many upgrades you want to collect. The game is definitely a tough cookie with only the starting 5 HP and SP, but just take your time and persevere.ĭuring this step you’ll earn these trophies: Keep in mind that besides the “small” HP upgrades you are also NOT allowed to pick up the “full” HP upgrades that some bosses leave behind, so be sure to not accidently pick them up out of euphoria or something. Now that you have completed the game once and know all there is to know about the game it is time to start another – and probably the hardest – playthrough: a no upgrade run. But make no mistake: This game is HARD – even if you have collected all upgrades – and it will probably take you a few tries between checkpoints before you can progress, especially in the later chapters. ![]() ![]() Take your time and familiarize yourself with the controls and the layout of the areas and enemies, as this will immensely during your next playthrough(s).

Instead of the “Survival Mode”, the “Story Mode” is a bit more forgiving. Yep, it just confirmed for me that I still hate rogue-likes.

I gradually collected grass, sticks, skins and wood to build boats to get to the next island. Anyone who has played “Don’t Starve” will have a very good understanding of the design philosophy. Windbound is a survival game built around rouge-like mechanics and procedurally generated islands. I found it had little consequence to my actual adventure and the narrative was a bit too subtle for my tastes. There is a subtle background story driving Kara onwards to activate three towers per Chapter, to spawn a portal to access the next level. She has washed up on an island after a storm and must live off the land and build boats to navigate the procedurally generated archipelagos. Its beautiful art style and fun sailing mechanics, have been scuttled by the tough rogue-like penalties and clunky combat encounters. “a PS4 and a copy of Windbound”, alas I cannot.

Ultimately, however, spawning the screen properly is simply an avenue for extra damage – though highly recommended, for those uncomfortable with learning the methods below it is fine to simply invest into Ningguang to the point where tricks for maximization are not necessary. The table below shows ways in which to cast Ningguang’s Skill such that it properly spawns against enemies where the screen might break on cast. Therefore, to make sure Ningguang functions properly - particularly against large bosses - it is crucial to be aware of her positioning when casting this Skill. If any of these hitboxes are obstructed by something, the Screen will immediately shatter. This beam then extends outwards in both directions, with each end of the Jade Screen also having its own hitbox. While seemingly simple, there are many caveats attached to properly using the Skill that are not mentioned in the talent description.įirstly, Ningguang’s Jade Screen spawns by placing a central beam, with its own hitbox, directly in front of her in the direction she is facing. Thus, it warrants investment alongside her other Talents-especially with C2, where she can often cast it twice a rotation. While Ningguang’s Elemental Skill is commonly treated as a tool for its Particle generation and a boost to her Burst, this Skill has a high multiplier and is the only notable source of AoE damage present in her kit. While Ningguang’s combos are generally interchangeable, there are some rare occasions when using combos with more Normal Attacks is worse (due to the longer cast time) or better (due to triggering effects that occur on casting/hitting Normal Attacks). ![]() Below is a table of Ningguang’s various combos. While further optimizations exist via paying attention to the kind of animation Ningguang performs, these are frankly unnecessary at best and actively detrimental at worst. Ningguang’s animation cancels are incredibly simple: simply hold forward while casting her Normal Attacks, and stop holding when casting her Charged Attacks. It is important to cancel Ningguang’s animations while casting, as their cast time is otherwise sluggish and risks extending rotations. While it is not worth deviating or extending rotations solely for them, their significant damage allows her to adapt to these situations in a way not many units can. Further, they offer her flexibility in situations where rotations cannot be properly followed due to enemy mobility or mechanics such as Energy drain. While generally not the largest share of her damage, Ningguang’s Charged Attacks and Star Jades contribute significantly to her overall damage contribution, particularly at C6. Her first Ascension Passive further allows Ningguang to fire Charged Attacks at no stamina cost when she possesses a Star Jade-which is a huge boon and completely absolves the drawbacks other catalyst users possess when using their high scaling Charged Attacks. It should be noted that these Star Jades count as Charged Attack damage and will scale with buffs accordingly. Furthermore, using Normal Attacks gives Ningguang Star Jades, with any accumulated Star Jades being fired alongside her Charged Attack, adding a nice bonus to her damage. In comparison, her Charged Attacks are quite strong-with the caveat that they are essentially single-target. Ningguang’s Normal Attacks themselves are extremely lackluster because of their low multipliers. ![]() ![]() ![]() Most races are a little eerie, like the Draylok Council whose ambassador occasionally shifts out of phase, revealing she’s actually a skeleton in disguise. They are so imaginatively created that it would have been a shame not to. They are, in fact, pretty much a copy/paste job and that is hardly a negative. ![]() Things already start off positively with the galaxy’s funky inhabitants: all the races from StarDrive 1 make their return. I’m glad to report that this is a trap that StarDrive 2 negotiates with grace. Master of Orion 3 failed because it could not match the magical ambiance of its predecessors and felt positively devoid of personality. But as with many things, the devil is in the details. Next you tell them to go forth, multiply and conquer. When it comes to 4X strategy games, the basics sure are simple enough: You, usually unceremoniously, dump the player onto a campaign map with a self-chosen race and in possession of a single colony - in space or otherwise. Eight months down the line and some 25 hours into the game, the end result speaks for itself: he wasn’t kidding.įollowing into the footsteps of such an illustrious game is a tough ask. Shrugging, a smile formed on his face as he continued “So that’s exactly what I plan for StarDrive 2”. DiCicco introduced his new game saying “People kept asking why I did not make StarDrive 1 play more like Master of Orion 2”. We met with StarDrive 2’s lead developer, Daniel DiCicco, last August and left with the feeling that a spiritual successor to Master of Orion 2 was right around the corner. ![]() Have you ever noticed how no one ever talks about Master of Orion 3? It was so universally loathed that fans prefer not to acknowledge its existence. ![]() ![]() Saying that, ON1 Resize can reduce JPG artifacts too. It was an interesting test, but I can't think of any possible reason I would want a 108 MP image. ![]() However, standing back from the screen, as one would need to view the entire picture, the full-sized image looked fine. Although not perfect when viewed at 100%, the results were still pretty good, but artifacts had started to appear when pixel-peeping. By “extreme,” I mean enlarging it up to an enormous 108 megapixels. Moreover, even pushing the software to extremes, it performed amazingly well. I used a nine-year-old OM-D E-M1 16-megapixel Micro Four Thirds camera in the following example. Yet, it still was outstanding when resizing images from older cameras. Further tests showed that doubling and quadrupling an image worked well. If there are any defects, then the program will enlarge those too. The software worked best on images shot using a high-performance pro lens. I use an eight-year-old computer with relatively low specs by modern standards, yet the conversions work in seconds. Just like the other AI programs from ON1, it is quick. You can add film grain and tiling too, and there is also a gallery wrap option with different variations of wrap available, useful for canvas prints. If you use a different brand with softer raw files, you may need to experiment with the sharpening to discover what works best for you. Consequently, I reduced that setting down to zero. However, like other programs, the default sharpening was too much for my camera's already pin-sharp images. A full explanation of how these functions work is available in the ON1 Resize User Guide.Ĭhoosing the pre-programmed settings for landscape photos worked well for the images I tried for this review. It still uses the patented fractal-based algorithm, but the AI optimizes the settings. This has been improved with the AI version for the images I tried with it. I previously found the Genuine Fractals method of enlarging worked the best. You then have a series of adjustments available. You can both see that the image dimensions have changed via the right-hand panel. You can also choose the number of pixels per inch you want.ĭeselecting the crop tool by selecting the view tool creates a resized preview so you can zoom in and out. Output sizes are specified in pixels, inches, mm, cm, or percentages. Once you have chosen a preset, further adjustments within the crop tool can be made to the aspect ratio and output size using the custom boxes at the top of the screen. They are nicely sorted into different categories to help you quickly select the desired size and aspect ratio. These allow you to crop and resize the image to match the photo to the media size you will be using. I found it best to start here and choose a preset closest to the desired final image. Once loaded, there is a series of presets on the left-hand panel. The photo renders before it opens, taking just over a second on my machine. So, does ON1 Resize AI 2022 live up to this heritage? Putting ON1 Resize AI 2022 Through Its Paces Then, ON1 NoNoise AI is a capable program that holds its own against Topaz DeNoise AI, performing more quickly and, arguably, with better results than its main rival. The tone and color settings in the Develop module of ON1 Photo Raw 2022 give great one-click results far closer to those I hope to get than I ever achieved with Lightroom’s auto settings, so there are fewer manual adjustments for me to make. ON1 now produces AI-powered components for its suite, and they are effective. I found it a far more accurate tool for that than Photoshop. ![]() Clients still want large prints of them, so I have used Resize to upscale those images. I have photos in my gallery shot a long time ago with 10- and 12-megapixel cameras. ON1 Resize is something I’ve used quite a lot over the last few years. Also, it can enlarge pictures without loss of detail. As its name suggests, it is an application designed to resize your photos. That later became Perfect Resize and is now called ON1 Resize AI. Part of that package was the industry-standard image resizing program once called Genuine Fractals. ![]() If you are unfamiliar with the ON1 range of products, you may remember it under its former name, Perfect Photo Suite. ![]() ![]() I also use Creately to create diagrams, flowcharts, and other visual representations of complex systems or processes.

This means Unity will accurately detect collisions based on the shape of the object not just a simple rectangle wrapping the object. ![]() Observe how the irregular shape of the bumpy-bat object is neatly wrapped in a collider. Left-click bumpy-bat in the Hierarchy window and then click the Add Component button in the Inspector window. Then the particle can be made to bounce more interestingly, by the player. Let’s make our bumpy-bat object bouncy too. Eventually, it will seem to “phase” through a wall because it is too fast to be detected by the physics system. This is because each bounce reverses and multiplies the velocity by 1.1 and as friction is zero, nothing can stop it. Now you can run the game and see the particle bouncing up and down with increasing power. This image attempts to illustrate how to drag & drop a Physics 2D Material from the Project window to the Material field of a Collider component. Now choose Physics 2D | Circle Collider 2D. Now you can run the game and see the particle object come to rest on the bottom-wall object. Select the particle object then click Add Component. We can fix this by adding a Collider component to the particle. If you ran the game at this point, you might be disappointed to see the particle object still falls through the wall at the bottom. Do the same for each of the other three walls and the destroyer object. Select the bottom-wall object then click the Add Component button in the Inspector Window. It just so happens that each of the four walls and the destroyer object are nicely shaped rectangles. The quickest and easiest collider to add for any game object, that is shaped like a square or rectangle, is a Box Collider 2D. There are several different types of colliders for 2D objects and we will see three of them next. ![]() Let’s fix that by adding Collider components Making Unity objects bump with Colliders The issue we have now is that the particle falls straight through the bat and the walls. Now, if you run the game, only particle will fall. For now, making them all Kinematic except for particle achieves what we need. Tip: Later in the tutorial we will need to change one of these settings. Set all the objects except for particle to Is Kinematic. ![]() |
