The first character has the powers of the second, and every single one of them has the stats of the first. The most absurd error is in the sample characters, which are essential to one character creation method. Missing values, properties that make no sense or repeated descriptions for different powers. Personally, I think it adds to its charm.Īs for content itself, the book contains quite a few errors, especially in the powers descriptions. None of the Japan-ness of the work detracts from it. The most obvious of which is half the sample NPCs being underaged geniuses. Very few classic Japanese tropes pop up in the setting. This is a very, very minor inconvenience if you want to set your game someplace else: just re-fit the existing NPCs or make up your own. Thus, creating characters exactly as written means you play in Japan. This is an issue only because a certain step of character creation has you forming relationships to established NPCs. The factions and NPCs presented are Japanese. The setting and adventures chapters make no effort to ease the player and GM into a Japanese mindset: they just assume you're playing in Japan and that's it. The sentences are also written in a not very natural way. There is, however, not much localisation. Apparently, the game is very beloved in Japan.Ībout the translation: it is solid. , and it is unfortunately only available as a physical copy. The first is intended as the regular introduction to the game for new players, while the following two are direct sequels to the same story.ĭX is a game by F.E.A.R., noted Japanese RPG designers. Yep, in a refreshing change of pace, you get three entire sample adventures in the core book. The book also offers a default setting: Japan and the personalities associated with it, as well as City N, a generic Japanese city where the action of the included sample adventures take place. The aforementioned GM earning XP points is one of them, for instance. There's plenty of mechanics and ideas that are innovative on their own as well, at least compared to Western games. From the latter, you get a "class system" and a granular "powers system" that drive combat. From the former, you get mechanically enforced narrative flow of quick-paced play with strategic scene framing and rapid character change. Mechanics-wise, think Tenra Bansho Zero meets 4th Edition Dungeons & Dragons. Imagine what would Persona 3 be like if it was not inspired by Jung but by Darwin, and you've got a decent picture of DX. Remember the Prototype videogame series? Like that. The powers employed by the characters are X-Men-like mutant abilities, only on average they're more. Your relationships are always changing, and as they change, so do you.įluff-wise, you'll get a setting that has got high-schoolers and adults with super abilities, secret organisations that fight for the good of the world, mysterious otherworldly foes, betrayals and uneasy alliances. Your relationships are where you turn to when you find yourself slowly becoming more like the monsters you face in battle. Your relationships dictate your position in the web of factions, people, and their conflicting interests. Your character has relationships with the other characters and with NPCs. The problem is that none of these sentences are true! You fight the bad guys, who want to ruin society and mankind. You work for the good guys, who want the best for the world. Abuse your monstrous skills, and you become a monster yourself. The central conflict here is that the more you use your powers, the more they use you. These include skills that range from shooting lasers to creating autonomous servants out of your blood to turning every car you enter into an instant transformer. In DX, you play someone who has been infected by a virus that gives you superhuman abilities. That's a mouthful, so let's break it down. Or do you really want to play a sentient idea who can throw cars around?ĭouble Cross (from now on, DX) is a Japanese RPG that has been described as a "character-based conspiracy superhero RPG". Have you ever wanted to earn XP as a Game Master?Īnd crave nothing more than pretending to be a high-schooler who spends the day being awkward around girls and the nights beating up giant monsters with lasers? Have you always felt your combat-heavy RPGs lacked in the realm of narrative mechanics?Īre you a swine who enjoys storygames, but think they lack that little something in terms of combat?

Nonetheless, allowing me to add a little sketch made the AI-generated images feel a bit more personal, particularly in the first test which maintained the concept of the shapes I drew.įor the artistically gifted, Stable Doodle is ready and willing to add the finishing touches to your work or else add that spark to a quick sketch. Once I’m able to upload images created externally and alter them, I think I’ll be able to utilize Stable Doodle to its full extent. As someone with poor drawing skills, the results were heavily dependent on my text prompts. While there was a slight improvement in terms of styling, the wonky instruments persevered. Was it a da Vinci-specific issue? I tried again asking for the same thing but in the style of Johannes Vermeer, the creator of Girl with a Pearl Earring. I was also denied my request for the drawings to resemble Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, save for some similarity with Swift’s pose in the bottom left image. Swift looked like herself but adding the instrument how and where I wanted was something Stable Doodle couldn’t quite yet do. Stable Doodle’s creation from the prompt for Taylor Swift holding an instrument in the style of the Mona Lisa (Image credit: Future) My prompt read, “Taylor Swift holding an instrument with her right hand. Therefore I drew a weird-looking string instrument but left it up to the AI to try to figure out what it was meant to be. Without adding an extra bit of drawing there would be no use for Stable Doodle’s sketch pad. If I simply wanted a portrait of Taylor Swift I’d just use a text prompt. Could Stable Doodle creatively portray someone while ensuring that they’re still recognizable by the end of the process? A familiar face would facilitate the judging process, so I thought of American pop superstar Taylor Swift who, as of this month, has more No. I think we can call this one a win for Stable Doodle. Let’s not forget that we started off with my 3 poorly drawn shapes. Nonetheless, the grid’s images certainly look like hand-drawn pieces that wouldn’t look out of place in a graphic novel, which is what the game’s creators were going for. After all, debates about the type of art used in Borderlands itself have been heated in the past. Whether Stable Doodle managed to mimic the style of the role-playing shooter game Borderlands is subjective. I’m not sure whether much time traveling is possible with the second device, but the drawing on the bottom right once again has some potential. It has a hovering display complete with the AI’s futuristic interpretation of something that could alter our universe. The results look great! The very first image in the top right of the grid seems to do the trick. Stable Doodle’s creation from the prompt for a futuristic device in the style of Borderlands. Reserve your judgment on my spacetime-altering machine for the next millennium. I went out on a limb with a triangle as the desk. I’m guessing we’ll still like square or rectangular displays in the future so that’s what I drew. Drawn in the style of the game Borderlands.” It consists of a display on top of a hover desk with a spacetime-altering module at the bottom. “A futuristic device from the year 3000 using technology that has never been seen before. What better way to test the AI’s creativity than to ask it to come up with something that doesn’t exist? I used the following prompt: If I upload a picture of myself with my friends, I want us to still be recognizable after Stable Diffusion’s touch-up.įirst off, the inanimate object. In the future, Stable Doodle should be allowing user-inputted photos. I wanted to see how well Stable Diffusion could stick to creating exactly what I want rather than resorting to some kind of stock AI photo bank. Then, lastly, I would try to sketch a widely recognizable person and ask the AI to be as realistic as possible. If I’m a person that can’t draw to save their life (I happen to be such a person) I’d need all the help I can get to end up with something presentable. I tested Stable Doodle in two different ways I thought sounded fair.įirst I’d try to generate an inanimate object while giving as much room as possible for the AI to be creative. See more I tried it - here's what happened Do not do this and instead have DisplayFusion launch the ScreenSaver after X idle seconds and then check for activity which then triggers a CTRL-L sequence, so problem should be solved. When I make changes in DisplayFusion with regards to TIMEOUT TIME and PASSWORD CHECK these changes are reflected in the DEFAULT Windows Screensaver settings, which means you are just passing parameters to OS. Basically the screen where that LOCK SCREEN wallpaper appears is the one that goes black depending on which one you set to be the main display. Versus trying to hand off to Windows checking IDLE and then LOCK after screensaver, because something is blacking out the MIDDLE SCREEN and it might be that the LOCK SCREEN is actually launching but being put in a "hidden" or "sleep" state. launch screensaver after so many seconds of IDLE Instead DisplayFusion should take it upon itself to: I suspect you might be leveraging the OS to do the switch which is where I see the problem. If you could please test and make DisplayFusion work properly with TIMEOUT and REQUIRE PASSWORD. So I am ALMOST OVERJOYED but this one last "defect" is killing my perfect Virtual Aquarium. SereneScreen actually has the option to span multiple montiors but it did not work when I tried to set it natively in the program but once I set DisplayFusion to do it then it worked PERFECTLY. Two good things though.ġ) I tried 5 different 3D Aquarium programs and ONLY ONE worked properlyĪll the others had problems even though they claimed to support Windows 7 or multi-monitors, but they lie.Ģ) DisplayFusion was able to make Marine Aquarium span properly across all my monitors The problem is obviously I cannot walk away from my computer while leaving it unsecured, but the screensaver does not work properly so it looks stupid and ugly anyway. I also realized that the middle screen is only having problems when you select "Require Password After Screensaver", so when you uncheck that then it works perfectly. I am glad to see that I am not the only one having this problem, because I have a 3-monitor setup and the middle one is the MAIN display so when the screensaver kicks in I only see the screensaver on the LEFT and RIGHT but the middle is blank.

I went back to the bedroom, after I made sure the doors were all locked. Ok, I took a deep breath and gathered my thoughts. She told me I could use whatever I wanted and to have fun, but be careful. I asked her if I could borrow a set of her handcuffs for a possible rendezvous later (I figured if she thought I was having a guy over, she for sure would NOT come back tonight). Just to be safe, though, I paged her about an hour later, and sure enough, she was at the club.an hour away. For those of you who truly do practice self-bondage, you can imagine the excitement that swelled up in me when I saw her car pull out of the driveway and leave. She told me not to wait up because she would spend the night there since she planned on drinking hard. Jen and one of her girls were going to a club that was about an hour away. Jesse and Tara left one Friday afternoon to go home (5 hours away) and wouldn't be back til late Sunday or early Monday. Over the course of several weeks I got very bold culminating in a weekend event that I'll never forget. I came across several that focused on self-bondage and got very intrigued.Īt first it was simple things: I'd handcuff my hands in front of me and use the key to release myself. I came across a magazine called "S&M: for bondage enthusiasts." The book had a section of fiction and I began reading. When Jen would go out (sometimes all night) I would look at her magazines and just go through her ually giggling to myself and wondering how some worked. Gradually, curiosity got the better of me. She asked me if I wanted to try out a little bondage, but I quickly told her NO, and changed the subject. Of course 99% of the time I was blushing. She'd tell about her escapades with other guys and sometimes women. So anyways, I always listened to her stories at night. I'm just the average girl-next-door type: 5'3", 128, kinda plain brown hair (I give it perms though), and between a B and C cup (depending on which brand of bra I use). I give the appearance of the good little school girl. She showed me her collection of "toys" one weekend - various straps, handcuffs, gags, dildos, etc et al. She also had her share of tatoos and piercings. She played volleyball and intramural softball. She was tall, about 5'11", 160, long jet black hair, 38D cup, very statuesque. Jesse and Tara had their own rooms, while me and Jen shared a room. I roomed with 3 other girls - Jesse, Tara, and Jen. This happened about 4 years ago, my sophomore year in college. I've been reading these stories and I must contribute my own, especially since someone asked about being caught in the act of self-bondage. They can also raise livestock or earn an income from forestry. Players are free to explore the surrounding areas of the map, grow from their choice of several crops, and invest their money in additional fields and equipment. Their tasks depend on expanding and upgrading dated equipment and machinery, which can be achieved by harvesting and selling crops. In career mode, players take on the roles of farmers. The game was originally revised, expanded, and re-released every two years, (excluding their newest release) with better graphics, a larger array of vehicles, and more interesting tasks for the user to perform. The games have sold over 25 million copies combined, as well as had 90 million mobile downloads. Players are able to farm, breed livestock, grow crops, and sell assets created from farming. The locations are based on American and European environments. I recommend building your own, but prebuilt can be more convenient.IOS, iPadOS, Android, Kindle, Microsoft Windows, Mac OS, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, Xbox 360, Nintendo 3DS, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Commodore 64, Stadiaįarming Simulator is a farming simulation video game series developed by GIANTS Software. I’ve even put together an FS19 PC build for people who might be interested in giving it a shot.Ĭlick the PC image above to look at specs of an example of a “prebuilt” PC for comparison. A starter level gaming PC can be sufficient to run FS19 with several mods. If you are on console you might feel like you can’t get the “good stuff.” If that’s the case, I recommend that you consider building a budget gaming PC. Anything else – even websites with FS19 in the name – are not official and can therefore be riddled with problems both in game or for your PC. However, the only mods that Giants officially support are the ones on the Farming Simulator official mod hub. I spent some time looking through Giants Terms and Conditions and didn’t find anything in plain speak about the mod permissions. However, if a player were to use FS to “bash” brands, it might become a more difficult legal situation. However, most brands would not go to the trouble of pursuing legal action when essentially “fans” are just playing with 3D models of their products. In other words, if you are using a mod of a vehicle without proper permission the rights holder could ask you to stop using that mod (most likely the case for a YouTuber or Twitch streamer than an average player). PC modders are able to make those other branded vehicles and release them because the permissions of “third party mods” fall on the end user. Instead, Giants uses a generic “Lizard” brand truck for people to use. When it comes to pick up trucks in particular, Ford, Chevy, and Dodge do not have rights deals negotiated with Giants, so they are not included. Not only are there many in-game John Deere vehicles, but it also opened up the brand for modders to add to the roster. This is why the deal to get John Deere for FS19 was so important. If the company is not already in the base game, then Giants Software cannot negotiate to allow official “mods” to include those brands. The answer is that console is restricted by licensing agreements with each individual company. Why can’t I get a Ford Truck on console? Why can’t I have a Dodge Truck on console? Why can’t I have a Chevy Truck on console? Why weren’t there any Claas implements on console until the DLC? Why can PC players have all these cool mods but console players cannot? If you’ve spent any time in forums or Farming Simulator 19 communities you have seen these questions. Ezra SIL SR does not do this, but centers it, as for a normal patah. Ezra SIL shows furtive patah to the bottom right of the consonant, as in the printed BHS. With v2.0, Ezra SIL SR uses a diamond-shaped mark for the puncta, rather than a round dot.This is determined by the choice of code point for holam. Ezra SIL differentiates vocalic holam-waw (U+05D5 U+05B9) from consonantal waw-holam (U+05D5 U+05BA) by displaying the holam slightly to the right for the former and slightly to the left for the latter.Ezra SIL SR follows a different style of text. Ezra SIL characters and markings follow the printed BHS as much as possible.SEGOL is placed to the left except in the rare medial instance, when it centers.
