![]() ![]() There isn’t a single word uttered by the lead characters. In terms of expectations, the “poem” element the developer promises may not be what you expect. Occasionally, you touch the controller for no more than a second to move forward, and it rarely feels like there’s any ingenuity or excitement during these active moments. Using a combination of an analog stick, a single-button input, and interaction-selective triggers, you’re presented with largely menial exchanges, something only exemplified by how the game’s achievements are given for messing around with the very few interactive elements that aren’t required for story progression. 'A Memoir Blue' hit nice emotional notes, but not too regularly. It’s no less demanding than, say, If Found…–though it also lacks the immersion and narrative punch of this predecessor. Firstly, gameplay is perfunctory at best, and aside from one very short section, you don’t control your character–just items scattered in your mind’s eye. ![]() However, as far as “interactive poems” go, it quite short on both levels. It’s certainly attractive, albeit much simpler than some of its contemporaries its hand-drawn art style is straightforward but no less attractive, and it’s complemented by a wonderful score that hits the notes you need at the right time, even if you’re left waiting for longer than you’d occasionally want to. That’s not to say it isn’t beautiful in its own unique way. ![]() You often find that those moments when you’re expecting a big reveal–or just some major exposition–end up serving you more of the same. The problem is, while the idea and execution is undoubtedly heartfelt, there’s not much of a story there its relatively straightforward tale is spread thinly even though the game barely stretches to an hour and a half. ![]()

![]() ![]() New Season (Season 3-Present) Season 3 (2009) ![]() Ep 16 – Malam Syahdu (A Peaceful Night).Ep 15 – Zakat Fitrah (Giving out money for the needed).Ep 12 – Kisah & Tauladan (Tales and Lessons).Ep 11 – Lailatul Qadr (Staying Up at Night).This series bore away the Best Animation award in the 2007 New York International Film Festival. The first four shorts debuted early in the holy weeks, followed by re-airings from 22 September to 11 October, finally ending with two final episodes premiering on Hari Raya itself. The first season of Upin & Ipin was aired on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, 7.30 pm, in conjunction with Ramadan and Eid-ul-fitri, which tells of the twins Upin and Ipin on their first fasting months. Main article: List of Upin & Ipin episodes SeasonĬlassic Season (Season 1-2) Season 1 (2007) Additionally, a new character was introduced in later seasons: an Indonesian girl named Susanti who moved to Kampung Durian Runtuh with her family. Among the village's other notable residents are Muthu, owner of the village's only food stall who lives with his animal whisperer son Rajoo and pet steer Sapy Salleh (Sally), a transgender-apparent who owns a mobile library and Ah Tong, a strident-voiced vegetable farmer. Tok Dalang keeps a cluster of rambutan trees for commercial purposes, and a rooster named "Rembo". The headman of Kampung Durian Runtuh is Isnin bin Khamis, better known as Tok Dalang Ranggi, the Wayang Kulit champion. Upin and Ipin study in the village's Tadika Mesra (kindergarten) with a group of classmates, including the adorable and right-thinking Mei Mei, the poetic joker Jarjit Singh, the clumsy and short-tempered Ehsan, the easygoing and sarcastic Fizi, and the entrepreneurial and meticulous Mail. They lost their parents in their infancy. Upin and Ipin are five-year-old Malaysian twins who reside with their elder sister Ros and grandmother Uda (whom they call Opah) in a village house in Kampung Durian Runtuh. In Indonesia, Upin & Ipin is aired on MNCTV (formerly TPI) since 22 August 2009. As of 2023, Upin & Ipin is the longest-running Malaysian animated series, currently in its 16th year of production, and is currently in its 16th season. Its third season, Upin Ipin and Friends, debuted internationally on Disney Channel Asia the following year, and began to focus more on the everyday lives of The Twins and their friends. A second season, also centered on Ramadan, aired in 2008. Originally a side project for the blockbuster animated film Geng: The Adventure Begins, Upin & Ipin was introduced on TV9 in Malaysia on 13 September 2007 as a six episode Ramadan/ Hari Raya Aidilfitri special, to teach children the significance of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan and Shawwal. The series features the life and adventures of the eponymous bald twin brothers in a fictional Malaysia. Upin & Ipin ( Jawi: اوڤين دان ايڤين) is a Malaysian animated television series produced by Les' Copaque Production. ![]() Mohd Nazmi Mohd Yatim & Mohd Faiz Hanafiah (season 5)Ħ–7 minutes per episode (season 7–present) ![]() ![]() I can appreciate any anime that has a goal or theme and runs with it completely. I could only really think of one scene that was spoiler free which would be this beauty below, but it was animated with the charge, the sword approaching and finally the actual puncture wound. Few anime actually animate something as simple as the whole action of someone being stabbed or seriously injured, and I’m ecstatic to say Rokudenashi holds nothing back. A few samurai anime did it in terms of the character slashing the air with a sword, followed by a black screen, then some blood appears and we need to now believe the opponent in question is dead or defeated in the very least. Anime often saves budget on action scenes with jump cuts. I know I’ve mentioned how serious this show is, but have only really focused on aesthetics and the light side of things, and this may seem simple but the violence is not held back. The basic synopsis I would give if I had to put this via a sales pitch might read something along the lines of “A prestigious magical academy where the finest mages of the empire are trained hires a new teacher who is a completely useless, but what starts off as innocent high school fun quickly turns into military-esque seriousness and creeps in that direction before pulling back to the quiet life Glenn Sensei aspires to.” Give or take. The early installments of Bakemonogatari is the only other anime that really jumps to mind in this respect, and for that positive comparison to be drawn is huge, because I regard the Gatari series as one of the greatest anime of all time by far. Again, I can sing praises for days for animes that feel very organic and surprising at just the right moment. The comedy is so on-point too I personally find it rare to see an anime with a character who is nothing.īut it doesn’t end there! Rokudenashi had some awesome scenes and I mean just the first syllable scenes that inspired awe and not just that, but stylization that wasn’t overused where it felt washed out. Rokudenashi contrasts between hilarious and serious so often and so well, from stuff that you would never show a child to some incredibly funny moments like first meetings. ![]() ![]() Rumia is our blonde character with the softest expressions to say the least. Personally, it was simply sublime and makes Shingeki No Kyojin S2 kind of pale in comparison a bit in terms of the scope of our characters. ![]() I’m not even going to say what these expressions mean to me, but I implore you to look at these few expressions and tell me earnestly that something doesn’t jump to you. Nothing is so specific that it’s like “Oh! I know exactly what’s going on” but just the expressions alone allow us to flesh it out so much in our mind without words. It shows that these characters have true investment in being left alone and are trying to leave their pasts behind to one extent or another, or simply just don’t want to let people in. Through the expressions from Rokudenashi, the gravity of situations is revealed to us and I cannot stress how much I love that. It is so adorable at times I could die, but she isn’t so overwhelming that as a story mechanic she drowns our main character out and breaks the pacing of the story. Rokudenashi has a few things like Tsunderes but unlike FullMetal Panic!, it uses it as an asset rather than feeling forced, almost like the creator genuinely chose this role for our character Sistine who is the text-book, surprised, “pretend to not be interested but begs for some sort of praise” archetype. I can’t recall off hand right now, but this is an anime that has tropes and formulas but doesn’t get dragged down by them, like for example, FullMetal Panic!, which I personally thought was terrible due to the character Chidori who was a forced Tsundere/overbearing character included to try and contrast the lead, but it broke the pace and character so many times that I’d rather cut a toe off than re-watch that. However, I feel like with words alone, I could not paint the picture your mind needs to witness to appreciate Rokudenashi. Images will be included in this review but fear not, they are spoiler free. This is going to be spoiler free because I believe, for the most part, that the journey is the best aspect along with the conclusions you can’t have one without the other. ![]() Rokudenashi Majutsu Koushi to Akashic Records, which we’ll call Rokudenashi just because it’s so much easier to say it was beautiful in so many ways the subtlety, the violence, the hurt, the contrast of serious to funny - I’m going to say at this point that the anime is the season favourite with huge potential. ![]() ![]() ![]() Go to Tools>Options>CMake>General and check “Always use CMakePresets.json”. Since we will use CMake presets for this example, first ensure that CMakePresets is enabled in your Visual Studio installation.Below I’ll walk through setting up a new CMake project using CMakePresets.json. Once a connection has been set up in Visual Studio it can be used as a CMake target in either a CMakeSettings.json or CMakePresets.json configuration. Add a new connection using the Mac machine name or IP address, username, and password. On a Windows machine open Visual Studio (with C++ and Linux workloads installed) and open the Connection Manager from Tools>Options>Cross Platform>Connection Manager. Once the necessary tools are installed on the Mac then Visual Studio can access the Mac using the Connection Manager. You should then be able to access the Mac from Windows using a VNC client. If you need to interact with an app that has UI remotely on the Mac you also need to enable Remote Management and under Computer Settings enable VNC viewers. ![]() From System Preferences select Sharing, then ensure that Remote Login is selected, and your user has access. Make sure you have enabled your Mac to allow remote connections.

Visual Studio requires certain tools to be present on the Mac to enable the remote development experience. The components you need are selected by default. To get started install the latest preview release of Visual Studio 2022 and select the Linux and embedded development with C++ workload. There is some setup required on the Mac side to enable the support, but then the Mac is treated just as any other remote (Linux) target by Visual Studio. In this latest release, users wishing to develop cross platform C++ applications for macOS can now make use of Visual Studio’s Linux tools with CMake to target the Mac. The latest preview version of Visual Studio is now available to download. ![]() ![]() I started my testing with Mad Max: Fury Road, one of the best movies to showcase the capabilities of any Dolby Atmos system. There was only one clear loser in this group - and that has as much to do with the price as it does with performance. I compared the Polk against three competitors: the LG Eclair, the Vizio M512a and the Sonos Beam Gen 2. Whether you're watching action movies in Dolby Atmos or enjoying a low-key drama, the Polk will deliver the goods. And it's just as talented when it comes to films. Polk's soundbars have consistently been great with music, and the Signa 4 certainly carries the torch for musical replay. The Polk's clicker is just as friendly as previous versions, with large, easy-to-decipher buttons and the ability to tailor the amount of sound enhancement without dealing with menus. It offers a number of connection options and an array of useful sound modes. The Polk Signa S4 is a Dolby Atmos soundbar, featuring 3.1.2-channels of playback (left, right, center, front overheads and a wireless subwoofer). If you can stretch your budget a little further, the Vizio M512a offers even better sound, as well as dedicated surround channels for true immersion.īut if you want the best possible Dolby Atmos performance for the least amount of money, the Polk Audio Signa S4 is the soundbar to get. It's not possible to adjust the levels of the channels, or the height of the speakers, and the cheaper Signa S3 offersĬonnectivity, making it a better fit for music lovers. The Polk Signa S4 does have some shortfalls, however. The Polk sounds good with music, too, and Atmos movies are really given a chance to shine. What distinguishes the Atmos-toting Polk Signa S4 from other $400-plus soundbars is its physical upfiring speakers (competitors such as the Sonos Beam Gen 2 use psychoacoustics to mimic height effects). And it's fairly compact, too.ĭolby Atmos soundbars are designed to add the dimension of height, which makes them great for action movies and video gaming. Now, with the Polk Signa S4, you can buy a true, Atmos-capable system for half the price of a compatible AV receiver. , the size of the products and the wallets needed to fund them became more manageable. ![]() , with speakers such as the Yamaha YSP-5600 being both crazy expensive ($1.5K or more) and "extraordinarily huge."

I've not tried with two cameras - the normal Pi only supports one camera. Once you understand how all frame rates work, youll be able to. The 24fps video will look more cinematic and filmy, and the 30fps will look like a natural scenebut 60fps and 120fps might look a bit weird and unnatural (due to the higher frames). You don't need to save every frame from the stream it's probably better not to.īy default Linux usually has a ram disc in /dev/shm (create a subdirectrory at runtime if you like) - but you can also create mount a ram disc anywhere, just use the tmpfs filesystem. Watch all of the clips, and you should get an idea of how a higher fps affects the video. Obviously it depends on the frame rate and resolution. You'll also need a process (perhaps the same one) clearing up old files in a round-robin fashion otherwise you quickly run out of space. (Hint: to avoid race conditions, save the images into another temporary file first, then rename them) The images can be saved with sequential names into a temporary place, and another process (possibly? beware of race conditions) can pick them up and process them. What I've done before, is to use a picamera video stream and capture jpegs from the stream, saving them to temporary files on a ram disc (the ram disc means it won't waste time and wear out the flash on the sd card). what happens when working or exporting: does it actually stop and hang/crash, does playback go glitchy, do exports refuse to finish.
