Once again telling him dying will end everything, the angel disagreeing with a no! he sets out go on, but keeps hearing the devil say. He's once again trapped in his mind and emotions, swaying back and forth between good and evil. When he talks about being a wise man, he explains he doesn't know the devil's intentions. Referring to the devil with his motive to get the man to committ sucicide. This is the devil telling him, if he dies, it will all be over, just like that, he can be at peace with himself, and not worry about anything anymore. He sees the images of the angel and devil in his sleep, he's trapped in his mind, and is unable to choose who to listen to. He finds himself looking at his life from the outside, and meets the angel and devil, and cannot decide who to listen to. This is the devil talking about dying and ending all the pain and confusion he has. The devil telling him to committ sucicide, and the angel telling him to carry on and keep on following your so far unsuccessful life. Talking about when he outgrows this stage- "nothing equals the splendor"- of being in your 20's and in control of your life- it feels like you have the whole world ahead of you- "surely heaven waits for you" Reason:Īlthough most interested in Alfred E's meaning.i believe it's more of a swing, a man lost within himself, sort of in the classic situation of an angel and devil on his shoulder. Talking about when he outgrows this stage- "nothing equals the splendor"- of being in your 20's and in control of your life- it feels like you have the whole world ahead of you- "surely heaven waits for you" Maybe hes involved with the wrong crowd, maybe hes into drugs. This can either just be simply about the way hes feeling- confused and tossed around - or maybe "I set a course for winds of fortune"- he thought that by acting a certain way and all cool he would be happy but really he just keeps getting more miserable. Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean If he acts so wise like he knows everything- a lot of teenagers think they know everything- but they really dont and are very inexperienced with life. He tries to be all cool and confident and is really popular- no one knows how he is feeling inside. He can see and think and seems normal but inside he is a "mad man". Though my mind could think I still was a mad man. "Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man. But he flew too high- he started thinking too much thus pushing him back into his depression and turmoil. He tries to get out of his confusing feelings to see if he could see the world normally and live happily as it seems everyone else is doing. Just to get a glimpse beyond this illussion. "Once I rose above the noise and confusion, The son is the teenager, who is wayward- either he is rebelling or just feels mixed up inside- the chorus is telling him to carry on bec at the end there will be peace- once he grows out of that stage he will be in better control of his feelings and feel at peace. I see this song about a teenager who feels so much turmoil inside, but tries hide it. This is a little different than what everyone else has been say- but i first heard this song when I was going through a very emotionally trying adolescent stage. Tossed about, I'm like a ship on the ocean Though my mind could think, I still was a mad man Though my eyes could see, I still was a blind man Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion Once I rose above the noise and confusion

On a technical perspective the game is a solid arcade FPS where you're confined to an arena with no escape (you can fall out of its boundaries) and have to face hordes of enemies killing them by hitting their core with throwing daggers (with gun-like throwing speed) It's both a good game and a good value game taking its tag price in consideration. It's amazing how did they manage to create such sensations with just a few pixel. such as with the common Acrobatics and Dagger Throw cards. The game also boasts a minimalist design very little is directly. Slay the Spire is a roguelike Deck Building Game, developed and published by an US-based. It is an arena shooter that is built for multiple repeated playthroughs and is a send-up to classic 90's shooters like Quake and Doom. The mechanics are fine too, simple and solid as they should be, but again, this game so good because of fear: fear not to keep up, fear of falling to oblivion, fear of the dark, fear because of the rattling sounds, the monstrous screams, fear of what's coming next. Devil Daggers is available on Steam here for about 5, developed by one of the members of HITBOX Team, known for their work on Dustforce. Devil Daggers is still being updated, with top. The mechanics The real value of this game is the overwhelming feeling of being constantly overpowered by hellish creatures in a dark world. 3 of them spider come out, a worm thing and a lot of spires. The current best run is 872.4143 seconds, a little over 14 and a half minutes, and was achieved by player Sojk a couple days ago (watch it above).

Instead, we get the TV equivalent of one of those boorish dudes “Sex and the City” occasionally featured: A handsome one-night stand that doesn’t know when to leave. With the benefit of hindsight, the best chance of “And Just Like That…” yielding something memorable would have been to more narrowly focus the revival as a one-and-done limited series, dealing with that intense window in Carrie’s life, surviving and coming through it with a little help from her friends. Yet those sequences generally have about as much depth as the montage employed to reintroduce the characters, which is to say, not very much at all. At the same time, building the opening episode around attending the Met Gala merely feels as tired as much of what’s on display here – in the show’s terms, like trotting out yesterday’s styles.Įxecutive producer Michael Patrick King and the writers devote a fair amount of time to middle-aged sex in the city, including indignities associated with aging, as a reminder that desire doesn’t end upon graduating from the “Euphoria” demographic. (While exploring parenthood is an obvious next phase for the series, the annoying nature of everyone’s children suggests the creative team’s heart isn’t really in it.)īeyond Cattrall and John Corbett’s much-anticipated return, the show revels in fabulous cameos, with Gloria Steinem, Billy Dee Williams and Candice Bergen among those popping in. Craig Blankenhorn/MaxĪs constructed, “And Just Like That…” derives its minimal kicks from throwaway sequences over the course of the seven episodes (out of 11 this season) previewed, like Charlotte (Kristin Davis) and Lisa wondering where they rate on a “MILF list” distributed at their kids’ school or the parents exulting once their pampered angels board a bus for camp. Centering on Marco’s journey, it’s skippable too, just without the quarter-century of brand equity to fuel disappointment.Ĭynthia Nixon and Sara Ramírez in "And Just Like That.," season 2. The newer supporting players – Nicole Ari Parker (as Lisa), Sarita Choudhury (Seema) and Karen Pittman (Nya) – have developed a little further, but they remain thinly written, and still suffer from feeling like add-ons to their respective friends, diversifying the show but only partly filling the void left by the absence of Kim Cattrall’s Samantha.Ĭattrall is destined for a season-ending cameo but is currently occupied with another series premiering the same day, Netflix’s “Glamorous,” in a supporting role that’s roughly the equivalent of Meryl Streep’s part in “The Devil Wears Prada,” playing the imperious boss of a nonbinary young influencer, Marco (Miss Benny), hired by her makeup empire. Miranda is the worst possible character to date a moody artist, a combination that doesn’t produce fireworks but rather a steady drip of tediousness. The various subplots, meanwhile, range from flat to cringe inducing, with the worst still being the relationship between Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) and Che (Sara Ramirez), who enter a new phase of breakup-to-makeup crises built around the latter taping a TV pilot based on Che’s life. While the first season had Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) grappling with her grief arc after the sudden death of her husband, the second does feel a bit lighter, unearthing considerably less drama from her continued process of moving on. Awkward, unconvincing and only sporadically funny, the show remains a kind of streaming Frankenstein, stitched together from a jumbled assortment of parts. To those wide-eyed romantics who dared hope that a second season would fix all the things wrong with the first one of “And Just Like That…,” the “Sex and the City” sequel returns with its abundant flaws intact.
There is no conversion process or approximation required between programs. Flexibility: No matter which creative apps you end up using, your LUTs travel with you hassle-free.You can then refine this foundation more closely on a clip-by-clip basis. With a pre-determined look, you can dash through long swathes of footage quickly, applying a generic LUT to entire sequences. Efficiency: Grading footage can be time-consuming.If you have created a grade that's working, you can easily apply the same grade elsewhere. Consistency: LUTs take the guesswork out of color grading.Here are a few reasons someone might want to use a LUT instead of manually grading footage: We respect the artisanal approach-don't get us wrong-but the practical benefits of using LUTs to grade footage cannot be denied, especially in a collaborative context. However, using a LUT is often easier than authoring each grade from the ground up. I’ve been unable to confirm details and any specific numbers on the changes of latitude that this recording process would bring as an increase to the possibilities when recording in the standard video mode of an iPhone. On top of that, Makayama suggests that the user may choose LUTs like the Sony S-log2 or S-Log3 to correct the footage automatically.Īre you interested in trying out the Makayama Flat Color Camera App? Let us know what you think – we’ll happily put it through its paces too.More experienced users might scoff at pre-formulating a generic look for everything. The example above is supposed to demonstrate that the user can get back more color tones and especially a higher dynamic range than he would typically be able to capture with an iPhone and its internal software. Makayama claims that typical steps of grading (such as raising the contrast, manipulating the gamma curve, and increasing saturation) are possible due to the use of this logarithmic mode. This footage is supposed to be ready for grading in professional tools like Final Cut Pro X, Adobe Premiere, Avid Media Composer or Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve. Makayama Flat Color Camera – Comparison Graphic (Credits: Makayama, Amsterdam, Netherlands)Īs shown in the examples above, M-LOG within “Flat Color Camera” seems to give users a strongly flattened footage. Flat Color Camera – Comparison and Color Correction It would most certainly be an advantage for a new version to control the focus manually. Why the user is unable to set the focus point individually remains unclear to me as of this writing. The press release also points out that exposure, ISO, and also focus are automatically adjusted when recording with the app. The user is further able to select from HD or 4K resolution with each 24, 25, or 30 fps. Curves of the varying Makayama proprietary M-LOG’s have not been available to me so far. While all the post-processing of the frames from the sensor usually takes place inside the iPhone – when using the Camera App – and the user can only alter the result within stringent limits of the consumer-grade H.264/HEVC coded footage from the iPhone, Makayama presents users with an attractive new solution.įlat Color Camera – Profiles and Recording OptionsĪlthough an iPhone is an phone and not a “proper” cinema camera, the app now allows the user to record video in 5 flat color profiles: CINE, M-LOG1, M-LOG2, M-LOG3, and OFF. Makayama Flat Color Camera – From Grading to Post-Production (Credits: Makayama, Amsterdam, Netherlands) Knife-based: This type of multi-tool features one or more large knife blades but usually won’t include a set of pliers.Though today’s multi-tools offer many functions, they fall into two main categories: knife-based and pliers-based. Instead, the tools in a standard multi-tool are made to allow the user to perform specific tasks in a pinch-when single-use tools aren’t available. But multi-tools aren’t designed to compete with high-end pliers. For example, pliers on a multi-tool will not perform at the same level as a pair of high-quality plumber pliers. Keep in mind that the tools available in a standard multi-tool are not designed to match a single-use tool’s level of performance. Why carry a purse-full, backpack-full, or glove compartment-full of tools when you can have a host of functions in one compact package? Multi-tools have long been favorites of DIYers, homeowners, commuters, and campers, among others, simply because they offer a wide variety of tool options that can be helpful in unforeseen situations.

Tuesday, 11 July 2023 | BEPS 2.0 Pillar 2: Countdown to disclosure (1:30 pm BST) He is your usual "Handsome, popular but rude male lead who have a sad past" - the author wanted to give him a sad past to justified his actions, but for me, that reason wasn't really bad enough for him to end up like that- for me, he is nothing but a weak and emo spoiled brat.Įven though I am anemic, watching this anime made me feel like I am going to have a high blood pressure. Sata: At first, I thought he looked liked Gintoki (lol). Then fell for the man who treated her like an animal and endured all of his abuses, simply because "she loves him" Then out of desperation to keep her lies: she agreed to become his "pet" - all because she was desperate to get along with her friends who obviously are no good for her. I didn't see anything good about her character - first, she lied to her friends about having a boyfriend, took a picture of someone she doesn't even know and used it as a proof and lied about it to her friends just so, she have something to "show off". There were lots of times when I really want to slap her just to make her back to her senses. There were times when the anime looks dull but most of the time it's just okay.Įrika: The main character of this series - she is very very annoying, especially at the start of the series. No wonder there are so many women who choose to stay in an abusive relationship with the reasons: " I love him, he will change somehow" - or is this really what this anime wanted us to learn? - that it's okay to be treated like an animal and endure it all because they will eventually change and fall for you. That it's okay to endure everything because of love? That it's okay to lie and let the man you love, humiliate you and treat you like an animal because he will eventually fall for you? be treated like an animal for the sake of getting along with your friends, because they will eventually like you? What does this anime even want us to learn? One day, I saw a video on youtube for "top best shoujo anime of all time" and this anime was included, so I decided to give it a try, which I regretted A LOT.īefore you watch this anime, please search and read the difference between S&M relationship and an abusive relationship - because there is a big difference. I was actually surprised that it was adapted into anime. I read the manga version few years ago but dropped it eventually because of how annoying the characters were - especially Erika. |
