Mori senpai body12/4/2023 ![]() ![]() The above description came from Michelle Garcia, and was edited by yours truly. Hatori Bisco, the creator of Ouran High School Host Club said that there could be a slight little chance that Mori-senpai and Haruhi could be a couple! Unlike his brother, Satoshi is more outgoing than Mori-senpai, but Satoshi looks up to him and adores him. His name is Satoshi Morinozuka and he's the captain of the Kendo Club. In the manga, we see Takashi isn't an only child, he has a younger brother. He can be very negative and very pessimistic if Hunny-senpai is mad at him or Hunny-senpai is hurt. In episode 12, when Hunny-senpai got his cavities, we got to see him talk more after Hunny-senpai threw him across the music room because he wouldn't give him sweets. Later we find out in episode 7 that he is also a member in the Kendo Club and one heck of a national champion! Also, in the same episode, you see a little moment when Mori-senpai calls Haruhi for the first time by her first name, and Haruhi was actually happy about it. And also, in episode 2, he and Hunny-senpai kidnapped her while she was dancing with Kasugasaki Kanako (at that time Kanako doesn't know Haruhi is really a girl and at the end Kanako and Haruhi kissed). In the first episode, you see Mori-senpai carried Haruhi away from Tamaki like a sack of potatoes, when Haruhi calls him out for help (at the moment he carries her, he found out that Haruhi is actually a girl). Still, Mori-senpai followed this tradition, serving Hunny-senpai. For generations, the Morinozuka Family served the Haninozuka Family, until a marriage between them blended the two families two generations ago. As a Host, he is considered the 'Wild' type in the manga and the 'Strong-Silent' type in the anime. So far the only one who calls him by his first name is Hunny-senpai, and Mori-senpai calls Hunny-senpai by his first name too. Takashi 'Mori' Morinozuka is a 3rd-year student at Ouran Academy and the second-oldest member of the Ouran Host Club. You can picture him as a Siberian husky, strong yet a kind personality. He takes orders quite seriously and literally. But for some odd reason, he is labeled the "Wild" type host. Like Kyoya said "His taciturnity is his selling point". He IS quite popular with the ladies who goes to their Host Club. He's the perfect guy for girls looking for guys who have the same traits as Mori-senpai has. He is a tall, tanned, dark, handsome, quiet guy. The only reason why Takashi joined the Host Club is because Hunny-senpai did. He's a senior attending Ouran High with Hunny-senpai a senior who's also his cousin.

Gimp gif image12/4/2023 AnimFrames is built up of frames, and to turn your image into a frame, you must first save it. When you've made up your mind, select right-click|File| New, and specify the desired size in the dialog box.Ģ. The first thing you have to determine when you create an animation is the size of the background image. How To Create An Animation With AnimFramesġ. This makes every object independent of the other animation objects, just like in a cartoon frame where several people move around independently, because each character has been painted on a separate plastic sheet. Instead of using a single multi-layered image, AnimFrames works with several images, where each image can have several layers with different objects in them. To find out more about the Gimp animation filters, read "Animation Filters" starting on page 369.ĪnimFrames overcomes this problem in a wonderful way. If you want to work with several objects that can move independently of each other, the ordinary Gimp animation filters do not suffice. This makes it hard to create advanced animations. ![]() If you want to use more than one animation object, you have to put all of the objects in the same layer. When you make an ordinary GIF animation you create a multi-layered image, where the object that you want to animate moves a little bit for every new layer. A frame is an ordinary Gimp image saved with a special extension. As the name indicates, AnimFrames works with image frames. ![]() You will find the AnimFrames tool under right-click| AnimFrames. ![]() We will unleash the power of it in this chapter. The far most advanced of these tools is AnimFrames. Gimp has many excellent tools for making animations. Job simulator vs vacation simulator12/4/2023 ![]() Other attractions repeat across all three locales with mild twists to each. Some of these are unique to a locale, like the beach's sports zone (which includes volleyball and basketball challenges), the forest's rowing-to-the-music challenge (which plays like a simplified version of Beat Saber), and the snowy resort's jigsaw puzzle challenge. Spread across these locales are roughly 30 attractions, which either play out as mini-games, puzzles, artistic canvases, or tinker toys. With today's Vacation Simulator, out now on SteamVR and Oculus Rift (and coming soon to other platforms), Owlchemy Labs has learned from its prior games to deliver the pinnacle of VR goofiness-and all of the antics (and limits) that such a description implies. 2017's Rick & Morty: Virtual Rick-ality added a "campaign" to this idea, but the results felt a little thin. Job Simulator enabled that kind of "if you see it, you can mess with it" fun, only without much of a game-like structure. Like, why can't I pick up that animal, throw it into a microwave, nuke it, put it between two pieces of bread, add some cheese and sauce, lift that sandwich to my real-life mouth, eat it, and see my VR avatar puke up the result? The game's designers built a world whose best quality was somewhat invisible and therefore often overlooked: you likely won't realize how awesome Job Simulator is until you boot into another VR game and yell at its static, dead environs. ![]() That absurd premise was met by a quality still unmatched by most VR games: if you can reach for something in an Owlchemy Labs game, you can grab it, play with it, use it, throw it, juggle it, and more. Chief among those is Job Simulator, a hilarious mini-game reaction to the idea that the rise of VR and robots would lead to a future in which humans forgot what real jobs were like. Valve had been putting the final touches on its first SteamVR system, and the company invited a wave of interested developers to get in on the ground floor and make whatever weird demos they wanted, all in order to promote the nascent concept of "room-scale VR."įour years later, those early efforts remain some of VR's must-play games, apps, and experiences. When I think about the history of virtual reality as viable, consumer-grade tech, I think about a certain "game jam" in early 2015. If all three locations have been completed, EfficiencyBot displays the BSOD even at the metrics board in the resort hub.Platform: SteamVR (reviewed), Oculus Rift (coming to PSVR, Oculus Quest) After saying that, EfficiencyBot says that they need some "time", then their screen moves to a replica of the Windows 10/11 BSOD.

It’s a beautiful game but it’s hard, very hard and I beat the game on Easy. There were several times where I didn’t know if me or my Nintendo Switch joy-cons were going to make it through Lone Ruin. It’s definitely not easy, but it was my fault when I failed every single time in Lone Ruin, and that level of communication and trust is essential when designing a "just one more try" arcade title. Executing on the necessary movements to stay alive however is another game entirely but developer Cuddle Monster Games designed everything in a way that prioritizes player communication. Spells, explosions, and damage from enemies will spray like fireworks all over the screen, but you’ll always know where to roll while you’re dodging and dishing out damage of your own. Combat is fast and frantic and will fill the screen, making it a mad dash for safe places to land without taking damage, especially in later levels, and particularly in the boss battles of Lone Ruin. The art style and neon colors makes it very easy to know exactly where it’s safe to stand, and that’s crucial. ![]() Lone Ruin is able to effortlessly communicate to players thanks to its smart and vibrant visuals, but also because it doesn’t let the game get in the way of well, itself. Lone Ruin features minimalist graphics that go a very long way, and not just in creating the atmosphere of an expanded game of Centipede. It’s you when you lose – and you when you win It will take most players dozens of attempts to clear a successful run in Lone Ruin but each and every attempt will be as exciting as it is colorful, and it is very colorful. This could be frustrating but every ability and power has promise and Lone Ruin’s addictive gameplay is as exciting as it is difficult. You get to choose between one of two rooms after clearing most rooms (boss rooms are mandatory) but your options are still limited by the random options available. You can always pick the first power but everything that comes after is random. You can try other strategies quickly by simply grabbing a different weapon in the game’s first area, though it can be difficult building the exact loadout you desire, even after you figure out the perfect power combo, thanks to the random nature of the game. Lone Ruin’s addictive gameplay loop is only briefly stalled by death. Lone Ruin’s roguelite wrapping gives death the highest price: back to the Main Menu without anything collected remaining – except for the lessons learned along the way. Players can stock up on powers and abilities, including a primary and secondary spell, but there’s more to it than just finding the right strategy. You can always try again – and differently Combat is fast-paced and frantic, with dodge rolls being a must if players hope to remain alive, much less have enough health to handle the later levels which include some nasty boss battles. Players can unlock new spells, upgrade powers already equipped, stock up on treasure, and more after clearing rooms of every fiendish foe, which is an absolute delight. The game’s starting area contains an assortment of magical powers, giving players the ability to choose how this run through the ruins will be tackled there’s everything from fireballs to an enchanted, energy boomerang that dishes out continuous damage and you’ll have plenty of opportunity to see which strategy works best for you.Īfter grabbing your spell of choice, it’s nothing but paths of rooms with rewards listed on the outside, something that will be all too familiar for those that have played roguelite titles such as The Binding of Isaac and Slay the Spire. The ruins may be cursed with enemies but there’s power within those walls as well. The game’s playable character, an unnamed wizard explorer, has arrived to cleanse the city of evil and wield the ancient power. ![]() There’s evil wrapped up, down, and around nearly every level of the dilapidated city, giving life to dangerous foes. Lone Ruin takes place within magical ruins that hold great and ancient powers – for any spellcasters powerful enough to make it to the center of the city that once was. Lone Ruin features a story that’s even shorter and simpler than the likes of Donkey Kong, the original arcade version, but it’s also packed with that same chest-pounding, addictive, arcade action. Though the game’s difficulty is undeniably high, Lone Ruin is an exciting and thrilling rush of color and light as your character’s magic powers splash across the screen. Lone Ruin waves the light, magic, and action from the arcade era of video games – without most of the frustrating parts – with a modern wand of variety and fairly forgiving design choices, which has conjured up the first must-play indie hit of 2023.

Last of us part 112/3/2023 ![]() ![]() There's one temporary character whom adults may detect could be a pedophile, but aside from one brief kiss, no actual sexual activity takes place in the game either on-screen or off. Aside from the pandemic fungus that causes its victims to become murderous mutated zombie-like killers, what's left of the federal government is the bad guy, though the anti-government "freedom fighters" aren't angels either. There's no explicit or implied racism, sexism, or religious or gender discrimination that I can see, but neither is there any pronounced virtue-signaling (the game was written in 2013), except that homosexuality is normalized (at least two characters are gay or gay-curious), and there's plenty of diversity casting, though no interracial nuclear families (which seems obligatory in today's entertainment industry) as in the 2023 HBO series version. There's a strong storyline, especially in the area of loyalty and protectiveness toward family, but there are shocking and heart-wrenching plot turns as well. I'd say it's not appropriate for prepubescent children, being chock-full of violence, very frequent profanity, and visual gore (which can be modified or reduced via settings), but given the world we live in, most kids today are used to that. The game is made for PlayStation and is not currently available on Xbox, but it's available on PC via Steam (recommended only for high-end gaming computers), which allows using the keyboard to control play (and using the mouse to aim and shoot, which is great for console-challenged players) and also allows control by any of the popular gaming console controllers. I used the "Moderate" difficulty setting for my first play-through, and I enjoyed using the highest possible difficulty level to keep the enemies tough and smart while using those additional "second-time through" options to make my own character more formidable. Additional options that make it much easier to play (like infinite ammo, infinite resources, one-shot/blow kill, etc.), and filters to make the game look different, are available after the first play-through, and there are other options not usually found in games (e.g., permadeath). There are great options for different ability levels, and additional gameplay options (like auto-aim for people like me who can't aim well with their thumbs) that apply to all levels, and those difficulty options can be adjusted for a number of different categories, including toughness and tactical AI of enemies, toughness of player, effectiveness of stealth, helpfulness of allies, and availability of resources. Game mechanics are quite intuitive and easy to learn. The two girls also share a sip of moonshine from a beer bottle. ![]() ![]() Parents should also be aware that this game contains very strong language and some sexual themes that include Ellie looking at a porn magazine (the player sees nothing), coming under threat of sexual assault, and engaging in her first romance with a teen girl. The story is character- and relationship-driven, filled with tragedy, sacrifice, and horrific injuries designed to elicit strong emotions from players, who develop a bond with the heroes. Joel and Ellie use guns, knives, bats, homemade explosives, and other weapons to slay their attackers, often stealthily and typically with a good deal of blood, gore, and screaming. The action is bloody and terrifying, with scenes set in dark, dilapidated buildings and with enemies both human and infected attacking with brutal force. It follows Joel and Ellie, a grieving father and a 14-year-old girl, as they travel across an America ravaged by 20 years of an infectious disease that has wiped out much of the world and transformed many people into mindless monsters. This is a remake of a PlayStation 3 action horror game. Parents need to know that The Last of Us Part I is an action horror game exclusively for the PlayStation 5.
