![]() I picked up the November 2021 Humble Choice almost exclusively for House Flipper, but Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion looked close enough to something I might get an hour or so of fun out of that I activated that one as well. Must have been for time served or good behavior.I don’t play too many things outside my comfort zone anymore, but getting games I just might like to take out for a spin is still one of my favorite parts of buying bundles. It would seem that Turnip Boy got off light this time. I want to like this game more than I did, and while I enjoyed Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion well enough, the experience is over far too soon. The lack of depth and content are noticeable, and any kind of post-game or replay value-especially without a map-don’t contribute enough to make this a clear recommendation. The premise of Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion is a solid one, and it should be quirky and unique enough to stand out, but it’s hard not to feel let down by what’s on offer. It’s worth talking to everyone you meet, since many will have something for you to do or something funny to say. In addition, the writing is decently smart and both breaks the fourth wall and makes a few cultural references, too. The colorful areas, however few there are, and anthropomorphic fruits and veggies contribute a fair amount of charm to Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion. While the music doesn’t really impress, it’s pleasant enough for the journey. Turnip Boy has a heart-filled life meter that can grow over the course of the game, but you’ll rarely need more than the starting three to see the story to its conclusion. Each one ends with a boss fight, with victory requiring a few well-kicked bombs or a dozen or so sword slashes. It wouldn’t be a Zelda-lite without miniature dungeons, and there are about four or five depending on how you qualify them. Single-step fetch quests are abundant, with some required to progress the story and others yielding documents to shred or hats to don. Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion leans heavily into its light-hearted theme and humor rather than trying to stump the player or throw them into stressful combat situations. Even the most taxing of its puzzles won’t present much of a challenge. The watering can is actually used even more regularly than the sword since bombs and moveable blocks initially appear as simple plants that need to be watered to activate their second form. The items and new abilities that Turnip Boy acquires are used for combat and to solve fairly basic puzzles. All in all, there just aren’t many usable objects at your disposal, making much of the action feel repetitive. Other objects give a few special abilities, like not taking damage from fire or being able to kick bombs across the room. ![]() Sub items are added to your arsenal and can be equipped and used with the A button: a watering can, a sword, and a portal-creation device. These papers function as a type of collectable and show up in a list in the pause menu as you come across and subsequently destroy them. Branded an outlaw, Turnip Boy will come across a couple dozen documents, including WANTED posters, that he can tear up over the course of the adventure. ![]() The charming characters and environments are certain to elicit a smile if not a laugh, but the short runtime made me long for a cool glass of turnip juice.Īt the outset, Turnip Boy is evicted from his house and forced to work off his tax debt to Mayor Onion by fetching specific objects, such as a fork and a laser pointer. The titular hero is tasked with retrieving a handful of objects for the nefarious Mayor Onion, and the proceedings are very much straightforward and somewhat generic. Ultimately, Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion doesn’t have all that much to do with criminality it’s a brief and cute action-adventure in the veins of The Legend of Zelda. Full marks to developer Snoozy Kazoo for coming up with such a bizarre and intriguing title, an element that turns out to be one of their game’s high points.

It's not that they're bad (although they're not great.), it's that the colour scheme is so blunt, so aggressive, that it actually hurts the eyes to play this for any length of time. The graphics are glitchy, where you'll be in a room, but you can see another house, or map, off in the distance, which you're clearly not supposed to be able to see. There's also very, very few monsters around, and nothing to interact with, so the world feels largely dead and empty. Like there's no exploration, and when you wander off trying to explore, there's just dead ends literally everywhere. When there's a cut scene, guess what, the lantern stays in the middle of the screen, during the cut scene, which makes no sense. so I walk around, continuing to play the game, with a stupid lantern everywhere. Then I realize, I can't put it back down. I walked up to a lantern type thing, and pressed A on it. ![]() Just totally unintuitive, broken, and ruining the game. I don't see anywhere in the UI to fix this. ![]() My starter monster levelled up and got a new ability, but the UI bops all around randomly, and I'm in pages that I've never seen before and don't understand, and somehow the new move gets deleted, so now I don't have my new move. No idea what's going on, it's clearly just broken. I talk to the dad, who doesn't say anything, and boom I'm in my room for some reason. Obviously this is not supposed to happen. All of a sudden I am frozen, and cannot move, then it sends me all the way back to the beginning of the game by the farm (quite a walk at this point), but the cave music is still playing. So I walk up to another rock and press a button at it. Okay, I guess that rock somehow flooded the cave, cool, whatever. Alright, kinda weird, so I walk back in, and the cave is flooded. I want just walking around in a cave, and I was able to mess with this rock, then it just shoves me back to the beginning. I walk all the way back to the farm to get it, look around, it is nowhere to be seen. I just caught a 9th, and it said it got sent to the farm. For example, you can have 8 monsters on you. There are things that don't make sense, aren't explained, and even after looking around I can't figure out. Like I do not know what certain buttons are doing, and even navigation is inconsistent. The UI is terribly clunky, which I usually don't mind too much, but I don't even know what's going on in it most the time. While some cocktails are fairly strict in their ingredients, the Vegas Bomb is meant to be a fun and flexible drink, so feel free to play with with the proportions and ingredients for your taste and what you have on hand.What is wrong with this game!? How have people played this and thought, "yeah, this is a finished product"? I am definitely not one to complain about small projects, or about bugs, or about EA, etc. So a “Crown Royal Flush” dunked into a high energy drink is a fitting drink for those Vegas high rollers who want to go all night! But you’re probably better off ordering it at a bar than the poker table since it can get pretty messy. The name comes from the fact that Las Vegas is a popular casino destination and is synonymous with high stakes poker games. The drinker drops the shot into the glass and drinks the whole thing together. Like other “bomb” cocktails (such as a “sake bomb”) the drink is served as a single shot and a glass of energy drink along with it. ![]() The Vegas Bomb is a cocktail made from a Royal Flush Shot and an energy drink-usually Red Bull. ![]() is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.īy default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses.

I learned how to open beat detective by command to AVOID menus. However, in our hands on industry, being able to spit out commands doesn't do much if you don't know why or where to use them to make good edits/mixes or what the command is actually doing with the audio. I've passed more written, practical, and performance tests than most people. I have an Associates degree, Bachelor's degree, State teaching license, and was recently accepted to a grad school program. Really? Training to be a Sweetwater sales engineer?ĭon't get me wrong.I'm all about certifications/proving knowledge. Knowledge is great, but practical application of these commands is more worthwhile than just spitting out how many tracks PT can handle, or especially listing the whole line of M-Audio interfaces. How many menus in the top toolbar? Who cares? Do you remember which command you have to find when your external pre isn't locking while musicians are staring at you? We find quick keys and a workflow and use that. I understand that knowing the navigation of the software is helpful, but NOBODY, on a daily basis, uses all the ways to start a new track, or open something, etc. They always said."We'll teach you more than the test anyway". When I did my audio degree, they didn't teach to the Pro Tools certification test. I was starting on a Final Cut Pro Level 1 cert since I was in the running to teach film editing at our school and they probably liked it more if I had the official paper. That's the thing I never understand about these cert's. ![]() ![]() I stopped it after 5 minutes or so by pressing the stop button on VLC, then exited VLC. I let it run - it always said the output was 44 bytes. I then ran vlc -v > vlclog.txt with the hopes that all debugging info would go to a file I could look at. Vlc -w isn’t accepted as it says -w is not a valid option. When this worked in the past the resulting output file was in the 1GB range in size.Ĭan anyone give me any hints what I might be doing wrong? I also have this same sort of thread open in the videolan forums for VLC waiting on replies as well. If I click the red record button while doing that it does record - but it makes some kind of huge file that used up the remaining space I have available on my small 160gb drive. I tried opening the capture device itself for input to play a movie and that works fine. After the entire movie completes it is still only 44 bytes. When I look at the output file with the file explorer the file remains at 44 bytes and never grows. The version of VLC now doesn’t seem to have, at least via the GUI interface, a frame rate option, though I don’t know if that makes any difference or not. I had previously specified the width and height and a frame rate of 29fps. I would open a stream, using the capture device as the input, and point the output to a file. I had been using VLC to do this successfully in the past. I had this working in an older release of a different distribution, but it wasn’t working correctly in the newer version there either before I made the switch to openSUSE. I have a Pinnacle Dazzle DVC-100 USB capture device I have used to capture my old VHS tapes to disk for a media center. I hope I’m posting this in the correct forum - I didn’t know if it would be some sort of software request/issue or a hardware oriented “problem”. Readers, do you use Chromecast or the Roku Stick? What do you think of it? Let us know in the comments below.Digital media player incorporating iTunes content and Airplay.ĭigital media player with most online content options. If you're happy with Amazon's walled garden and gaming is a factor, then the Fire TV could be your best bet.įor a more thorough comparison of the set-top boxes, check out our guide here. ![]() If you're invested in the Apple ecosystem, then keep an eye out for a new version of Apple TV. If you don't care about a remote control, then the Chromecast is a winner on price and we expect more channels to roll out on it very soon. Overall, the Roku Streaming Stick doesn't ask you to sacrifice much over a set-top box like the Roku 3, and it is half the price. The Roku app offers limited streaming options for your personal photos, music, and videos, but you can find third-party apps that will allow you to mirror your Android or iOS device. Fire TV allows you to stream from a Kindle Fire tablet. (It won't work with Silverlight for example.) Apple TV supports AirPlay for mirroring or streaming content, but only from a Mac, iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Chromecast still has limited functionality, though it does support Netflix, Hulu, and others.Ĭhromecast is the only one that allows you to stream from your Chrome browser on any computer or mobile device, but it doesn't work perfectly and it doesn't work with all content. Fire TV and Apple TV both have numerous channels and apps, but omit at least some favorites like Spotify, Vudu, Showtime, and/or HBO Go. They also have a useful universal search function that makes it easier to quickly find the shows or movies you want. Roku is a clear leader here, and both the Roku 3 and the Streaming Stick have access to over 1,200 channels. You can also get a dedicated Amazon Fire Game Controller for an extra $39.99 and use your Fire TV as an Android gaming console. The Fire TV remote boasts voice search, but it's limited to Amazon's Instant Video library and Vevo, so it can't search Netflix or any of your other content channels. The Roku 3 also has motion control in the remote for gaming, and a nifty headphone port for watching TV without bothering anyone else in the room the Roku stick, however, does not. The Roku systems can be controlled using Android or iOS apps, or you can use the physical remote controls that come with them. It requires a smartphone, tablet, or laptop to choose content. If you like a dedicated remote control, the Chromecast is out. This won't affect the streaming speed, but it will impact your navigation through menus, how quickly apps load, and potentially how games are handled. By comparison, the streaming sticks and Apple TV lag behind. The Fire TV is way out in front with a quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM, while the Roku 3 is also snappy with a dual-core processor. The boxes all offer extra ports, including an Ethernet port which could be important if you don't have great Wi-Fi. They are also capable of drawing power from an available USB port. The streaming sticks are obviously smaller and they plug directly into your TV's HDMI port. ![]() So should you spend less on a streaming stick, or splurge on a fully-capable box? Here's our quick-and-dirty guide. Each has its own advantages and drawbacks, and it really comes down to what features you want, and possibly what tech ecosystem you are already a part of. As Amazon Fire TV ($99) bursts onto the market to compete with streamers like the Roku 3 ($99) and Apple TV ($99), you may be wondering what these set-top boxes offer over cheaper streaming sticks, specifically Google's Chromecast ($35) and Roku's Streaming Stick ($49.99). Color? How does color come into the picture? At Danpal, we regard performance and appearance as a match. A curtain wall system keeps a building strong throughout the seasons.įlexibility. Once a building has been damaged on the inside by dampness left behind from snow or rain, it’s compromised in a manner that will affect your energy expenses, the structural integrity of the building, and the overall life expectancy of the building. Our secret weapon is our microcell technology, which gives the curtain wall system that line of defense that keeps damage out. A building can’t protect itself from the damage that weather can cause, whether it’s from a single extreme event or the ongoing, relentless effects of snow, wind, rain and even sunlight on the structure. It’s true that curtain wall systems don’t play a structural part in the design of your building, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t important. Maybe you’re wondering why we’re so proud of our curtain wall systems. WHAT A CURTAIN WALL SYSTEM ADDS TO YOUR BUILDING That’s where Danpal innovation and quality are visible. Those features are the result of the know-how that Danpal brings to the manufacturing process: before we build it, we’ve researched it and tested it so that. The building is secure thanks to our double-click locking seam which adds to the easy installation process. Flexibility adds to the esthetics of the curtain wall system ours have concealed joints to keep the exterior wall flush, allowing for adaptation to the desired shape. Clients appreciate the increased convenience and financial savings that they receive as a result. Because our products are light in weight, they’re easier to work with. In order to create a curtain wall system that has the high performance quality that Danpal products are famous for, we dedicated an impressive amount of research, time, and effort.

These apps come with specific tasks that can also help improve your overall writing. Some apps are designed to help through every stage of story writing-from planning to the final draft of your novel. Having this type of automated feedback is more efficient than having a person play this role because the apps are never late and they never forget (Well, unless there’s a glitch or an error in their code). Planning apps like Story Planner play the role of a virtual task manager and provide feedback that helps you keep track of what scenes you plan to write next. From there, you can go straight into your word processing app and practice what you’ve learned. Something as simple as Lose the Very can improve your vocabulary in just moments. While waiting for the bus, you can use websites and apps that help improve your prose. Story planning apps such as Story Planner App are available on mobile devices (i.e., tablets and smartphones), allowing you to work on your manuscript and improve your writing anywhere, anytime. Not only do these apps save you time and energy, but they also inspire new ideas, especially the ones with mind maps.
