![]() The soundtrack here, is one of the best I’ve heard in quite a while. ![]() The only real sticking point here is some of the animations look a bit stiff, but honestly, when everything else looks this good, that’s a very minor detail. They look even crazier with each different stage and they can be called upon by the party once defeating them. These are called Astraes, and they usually transform into several stages while fighting them. The monsters look pretty bog standard, except for the incredible bosses. Each party member has a crazy amount of detail in their design, and these will change depending on which main job you give each character. The highly detailed 2.5D character models look fantastic as well. The lighting in this game should be studied by every game maker out there, cause it’s that damn good. Each area is very elaborate in its design, and you can tell the team put a lot of effort into each one, making it look perfect. All of the hand-drawn environments look amazing. Graphically, Astria Ascending is a beautiful game. The world itself has quite a bit of building as well, which is very welcome when you see how some of the major themes of the story progress during your playthrough. Everything here is well written and the characters all see a bit of growth as the story progresses. We’ve all probably seen these character types before and a lot of the plot lines are very basic, but I don’t think this is a bad thing at all. While there is nothing Earth-shattering here, the story isn’t a bad one at all. Now, it is time for the 333rd group of Demigods to face their trials, but their story will be very different from their predecessors. These brave souls chosen by the Goddess will greatly shorten their own lifespans in order to use this great power. This power comes with a great price, their lives. They are chosen from each of the world’s races, and given great power to complete this task. The story of Astria Ascending follows a group of chosen Demigods that work to keep harmony in the world. Let’s dig in and see if the Demigods achieve greatness. The cast of characters seemed great, and any turned-based RPG with a job system will always get my attention. That being said, I really loved the art style they used in that game, so I was looking forward to giving this one a shot. I knew the game was done by Artisan Studios, who had worked on Super Neptunia RPG with mixed results. When I went into Astria Ascending, I wasn’t sure what to expect. “Each hero has their own perspective, but it’s the relationships they form with one another that truly brings the story to life.”Īstria Ascending is in development on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Switch “In Astria Ascending we wanted to explore how people cope in extraordinary times,” said Julien Bourgeois, game director at Artisan Studios, in the news release. In the game, you’ll “pick from eight customizable player characters spanning a range of fantastical races and skills” as you assemble a team of heroes. Players will take control of the Demigods, whose mission is to fight the Noises - floating ghostlike sphere creatures that threaten the balance of the world. The world will offer a “fully animated 2D landscape with five cities and a dynamic weather system,” according to Artisan. Players will get to explore a land called Orcanon, where various mythical races and cultures live in harmony. The announcement trailer is lore-heavy and goes over the basics of the world. Astria Ascending boasts an expansive fantasy environment in a hand-drawn 2D art style.

![]() gpx were the main features for me, and note that the premium plan is needed for worldwide coverage. Having the location history and exporting Mia’s track in. ![]() We had the Premium subscription that allowed us to use all the cool features, so check carefully if the basic plan is enough for you. Tractive offers two different subscription plans with significant differences in functionality. There is a little inaccuracy in the path we took, but it still shows how you can see all the turns that Mia made while Live tracking was on while the default setting only recorded 6 data points on the same track. In this mode, you get a location every 2-3 seconds, and it also shows you the path of the track since starting Live mode.īelow you see how we walked around on the same field twice, first only using the default tracking and the second time using LIVE mode (highlighted with the green heatmap). When the battery save mode is enabled, the location is sent approximately every 10 minutes.īy clicking on the LIVE button in the top right corner of the map, you can start LIVE Tracking to see the real-time location of your pet. To conserve battery life, updates are sent less frequently when your pet is inactive. In default mode, your pet’s location is updated in the app every 2 - 60 minutes. It’s neat that you can recharge it in 2-3 hours, depending on the USB plug you use for the cable. The app will send a push notification when the battery is running low a few hours before it turns off and lets you know when it’s charged. With this usage, we needed to recharge it every 2-3 days on average. We usually had it on Mia for walks only (not when chilling indoors), and in general, that means 1.5-2 hours walk a day with three trainings/hikes per week when we would use the Live mode, and she would run around for a few hours. If you are going for long hikes every day using the Live Tracking mode, you will experience much shorter battery time than in the case of just walking around the block a few times a day. They promise a battery life of up to 5 days, but this will highly depend on how you use the tracker. Using the cellular network for data transfer between the tracker and your phone ensures that you can check on your dog from everywhere - even if you are on another continent. It is made from durable plastic, so there are no scratches or cracks on it at all. The tracker is waterproof (IPX7) and sock proof. We heard people having trouble with Findster’s similar solution, but Tractive’s magnet is much stronger: you can lift the tracker easily by the cable. The charger snaps on the tracker with a strong magnetic force, which holds it attached safely. It comes with a short (8 inch (20cm) cable), which might make it hard to find an outlet to charge it without making the tracker dangle at the end of the cable. We regularly used it in subzero temperatures, which could be hard on rubber materials, but we had zero problems. ![]() When I first attached the tracker to the collar, I was worried it would not hold, but it never failed us. It comes with a rubber clip that fits 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide collars or harness straps. It only weighs 1.2oz (35g) and the dimensions are 0.7 inches (17.5 mm) x 2.8 inches (71.4 mm) x 1 inch (27 mm). The latest design of the tracker is a small and lightweight unit. You can check if it works in your country on this page. An outstanding feature is that the tracker works on many different networks and uses the best available, allowing it to work in 150 countries worldwide. This SIM card will send the location of the tracker to your phone. The tracker has a SIM card in it that is activated when you start a subscription plan. We usually experienced an accuracy of 2-3 meters when Live tracking. Of course, this depends on the environment and the number of satellites available at the moment. ![]() It determines the location using GPS satellites with 7.8 m (25 ft) accuracy at a 95% confidence level. Tractive GPS is a small unit that you can attach to any collar (or maybe harness) and track your pet’s location on your phone or their website. They used to offer different activity trackers and separate GPS trackers for dogs and large animals (like horses), but today they only sell the product called “Tractive GPS.” This can be confusing when reading reviews and descriptions of their products because most people just refer to all of them as “Tractive tracker,” and you only realize later that it had to be an old version because the comments don’t apply to this one anymore.

With Photoninja i get the same clean image, or cleaner, but with more details. I think that is not so much.īut you can see that you lose some details in foliage etc. In LR i normaly use around 15-30 luminance noise for images under ISO 800. Im not sure if it´s because the Noise Reduction of Photoninja is better. What looks smeared in LR often shows details in Photoninja. I managed to quench out more details then with Lightroom.Īnd im not a Lightroom newbie, thought im a Photoninja newbie. But the rendering of small details is great. Yes i have tested it for a few days and i think it IS impressiv. but look how much detail photoninja managed to show).īest i could achive with LR and with photoninja. Here is a crop from an image (from the image backround, not in focus. I sure will spend some more time testing photoninja. The photoninja color is SPOT ON without any editing. No matter what LR profile i use the color is off by default (too purble or too light blue). The photos i have looked at show a blue yamaha R1 bike on a racetrack. I have only looked at a dozend of photos yet but color rendition seems to be great out of the box. The colors are way better out of the box. They don´t affect the medium tones as much as LR.įor the images i tried it on i liked it better then lightroom. I noticed that the highlight and shadow adjustments in photoninja work more restricted. Loaded some DNG files and compared it to LR. ![]() Mark van Dam Wedding photographer, Wasaga Beach, Ontario “The image quality this program produces absolutely destroys any other raw converter I've tried in terms of colour reproduction, exposure controls, and noise reduction.

If you’ve got a tiny socket set, that might be the way to go to save yourself some aggravation. The little plastic hex nuts don’t have a lot of room near the pins on top so I had to turn them very slowly with my SOG multitool. I left the extra bits coming out of the top, because mounted the other way made the stack too tall to fit properly into the case. I did have to figure out which way the standoffs go. No need for the usual Raspberry Pi USB power supply with this and you shouldn’t use one with this setup. That black rectangular chunk near the bottom of the device contains left and right speaker terminals, another terminal for installing a hard-wired, 14V power supply, and a circular pin and ring plug for the included 14V power adapter which drives the whole thing. I’ll report back with a schematic when I have it working. I plan on using mine to install a rotary encoder and a pushbutton for volume knob and play/pause. The GPIO pins remain available for additional hardware hacking if needed. It also provides power back to the main board through the GPIO pins. By using the I2C connection on the Pi, it provides a direct hardware connection to the processor, bypassing the USB bus and effectively becoming isolated from any noise or interference from the Pi’s main board. And therein lies the beauty of this little thing. ![]() The Amp 2 sits on top of the GPIO pins on the Raspberry Pi as a dedicated HAT. It’s not going to win any beauty contests, but once it’s together, I plan on hiding it in a cupboard in the kitchen.Īssembly was trivial. The case it came with is a simple ABS plastic thing with a snap cover, some plastic standoffs and little silicone feet. The simple cardboard box the Amp2 came in has a nice little message on it and not much else. I’ve included my Raspberry Pi 3 and an apple for comparison in the above image. The included power supply is easily the biggest piece in the kit. “This product is made with love while listening to good music.”Īll told, it’s a surprisingly small package. I ordered it last week and it arrived intact all the way from Switzerland. Properly fed, I proceeded to unbox my newly arrived AMP 2 kit. Tuna and pickled onions on Co-Pain Sourdough. I had a (TRIGGER WARNING!) tuna sandwich with pickled onions on sourdough bread from an excellent new bakery here in town. The onboard DAC is also upgraded to support 44.1KHz-192KHz audio files.įor any project of sufficient complexity, you should really start with a full stomach. Update: Originally, the Amp+ was a 25WPC amp, the new Amp2 pictured above is capable of 30WPC, 60 Watts total power. ![]() Tiny but powerful, 30WPC Class D amplifier and integrated DAC on a board half the size of a credit card. All they need is an amplifier and a sound source, and this little module looked like it might fit the bill. I have been unable to effectively play from my extensive, NAS-based local library on the Sonos for some time, despite my best efforts to make it work. Continuous, nagging app updates with no visible improvements, degradation of performance and playback limitations have forced me to look for alternatives. ![]() Their recent push to provide Amazon Alexa integration, a new user account system and changes to their privacy policy that allows feedback to Sonos Inc with my personal music preferences, room names and who-knows-what-else left me a little queasy. The past year or so, I’ve become increasingly frustrated by the Sonos platform. Their closed ecosystem was another sour note for me, but I pushed past that in favor of convenience. Initially, they were something of a marvel of integration and software polish, providing ease of setup and room filling sound for … they are not cheap. I’ve been a Sonos user for probably five years now. ![]() In his 2016 presidential campaign, she took a leave of absence to work as his primary fundraiser and surrogate.

He warned in a radio interview on Monday that as many as 100 people might die, advising his constituents to stay in their houses: “Don’t risk it,” he said. ![]() Realistically, it also sounds like Cruz understood the extremity of the winter weather battering Texas this week.
