cool stuff i like in video games that is cool

i LOVE the vibe of the unexplored. searching through an ancient temple to find new things. finding a land that defies all logic. thats the important part, it has to defy logic. I don't want to explore your lame ass lightly forested plains if i already know what i'm gonna find there. break my expectations. destroy your own precedent over and over again.

lets take a look at some examples of games that did this for me (minor spoilers for zelda totk and mario wonder ahead, but theyre small enough that you can make the judgement call. they probably won't ruin the game for you.)

zelda twilight princess. I didn't play this when it released, i played it much later on the wii i have when a friend gave it to me because he decided he didn't like it. it certainly isn't part of what most would consider my "childhood". it was my 3rd zelda game. (my first was botw and my second alttp) yet it executed this vibe im talking about (and probably explained poorly) so well. after the whole "chase down and eat bugs" section, i was surprised by the 4th section, the ice one i forgot the name of, because i thought the world wouldn't get any larger. doing "the 3 things" is usually the end in modern video games. they like to follow consistent patterns. this game did NOT do that and i love it for that. i got surprised when i could go to the city in the sky. i got surprised when i could go to gerudo desert. holy shit exploring places like that and exploring the TWILIGHT REALM?? heck yeah. this is what i buy video games for half the time. exploring weird and unconventional places. heck, in this case, even the temple of time kinda fulfilled this "exploring the unknown" vibe.

anyway enough of twilight princess. totk did this wonderfully as well, at least until i got used to how the sky islands are laid out. finding weird and interesting puzzles in the sky is such a joy. again, its a strange place that defies logic and convention. its hard to get to, so getting there is all the more rewarding. that is to say it had that joy UNTIL i got used to it. that's the important part, if you're going to defy logic, you have to do it repeatedly, or you'll just be following your own logic again. i need to not expect what comes next.

hell, even what mario wonder did with the deep magma bog overworld map. its mostly hidden until you walk to it, and each part is a slightly unique take on the magma feel. this is the bare minimum you can do to achieve this vibe. its weird and different for the average lava zone in mario, so it feels mysterious and magical.

i think that's kind of where this all is going. each of these things feel magical. this magical feeling is created by a lack of understanding, and by not immediately imposing a "logical conclusion" upon it. in these spaces in these games, the player allows the game to violate their understanding of the rules. that's what makes it magical.

anyway, that's enough rant for now.

edit: wait holy shit how do i add a cut i dont want this thing to fill someones entire screen and the only tutorials i can find are for old ass tumblr ui

i know i added a cut before but i cant remember how

edit 2: nvm i figured it out dont worry guys

(re)Watching Magia Record S1 - part 11

part 10 here

Hello and welcome back everyone to our Magia Record s1 watch-along! Last time, we had the aftermath of the Endless Solitude's incident, found out that Mami is now part of the Wings of the Magius and left off with the reveal that one of Ui's (Iroha's sister, for those who have forgotten) might be another one of the Magius. What is this all about? Let's watch and find out:

Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story: Magia Record S1 episode 11

For some reason, we are now watching Tsukuyo's club practice. Wait- Akatsuki? That's not the surname I remember. We also see a photo of Mifuyu on the club room, so they must've been club mates.

Good question, Tsukuyo. Maybe she's waiting for Sana? (lies)

awnt the whole family's on the op now. Yachiyo is even smiling!

NOW we're back to where the other episode left off. According to Sana, she sometimes heard the Feathers talking about Nemu when they came to Ai's barrier to retrieve a witch. The girls then wonder if Nemu's being forced to work with them and Iroha says that maybe Ui's being kept captive by them too, with everyone falling silent at this.

Felicia asks if they can't just catch a Feather and force them to speak, so Tsuruno says if they should keep going after the Rumors them. While the three are wondering that, Iroha remembers about Tsukuyo, who she had seen in her uniform, and we are now back to the present.

Yeah right, are you saying you were actually triplets?

So Iroha decided to catch Tsukuyo after school. If Tsukuyo had a braincell, she could've left by a backdoor or used her magical girl powers to jump over the wall, but it seems she borrowed hers to Tsukasa today.

Tsukuyo stops Iroha from outing her as a Feather, so Iroha invites her to go talk somewhere else. Tsukuyo asks if she plans to interrogate her or worse but Iroha really only wants to talk.

After changing locations, Iroha seems to have told Tsukuyo about her situation. Tsukuyo asks why Iroha would go so far as telling her that, and Iroha answers that she needs to see Nemu no matter what.

After asking who between Tsukuyo and Tsukasa is the younger sister, appealing to their point in common, Iroha threatens outing Tsukuyo to the others if she doesn't let her see Nemu. Tsukuyo is shocked, asking if she's threatening her and Iroha says she doesn't care if she sees it that way. Damn, Iroha really means business when it's about her sister.

As always when it comes to Ui, Iroha's unusually pushy, and Tsukuyo ends up giving in and promising to at least talk to Mifuyu about it.

Later that day, the Mikadzuki girls minus Yachiyo are having a meeting in Iroha's room, and decide to get Yachiyo coasters as a thank-you present for giving them the mugs. So cute.

...that's some interesting club this school has.

The next day, Iroha meets up after school with the other girls to go buy the coaster. Can we talk about the fact there's a group chat just for watching over Felicia? lol

The girls go buy the coaster, and get interrupted by a witch. Guess we can add that to the things magical girls can't do in peace. No probs Tsuruno, there's really no run-time for this.

Look how happy she is. Please don't ruin this in the next scene, show (flag).

Back at the house, Iroha's waiting for Yachiyo's return on Tsuruno's instructions. She hears the doorbell ring and answers it immediately, thinking it's Yachiyo (really, Iroha, why would Yachiyo ring the doorbell to her own house?) but, shockingly, it's Mifuyu.

This probably situation couldn't get more awkward for Iroha had they tried. Iroha tries to show some hospitality, but Mifuyu takes the lead and the opportunity to rub in that she knows the place (and its owner) way better. What's with the attitude, Mifuyu? It's not like Iroha threatened your friend or a- oh wait, nvm.

Iroha asks what business Mifuyu has with Yachiyo today, and Mifuyu asks in return if she has to have some business in order to visit a friend... no, not business Mifuyu but normally you'd warn someone before dropping by, where's your manners? Iroha points out that she hasn't visited for a long time and Mifuyu explains that she didn't come because she knew Yachiyo wouldn't agree with The Wings of the Magius. She then explains she's actually there to talk to Iroha today.

Oh, she did it, she flipped Iroha's switch.

Mifuyu asks if Iroha wouldn't join the cult if she wants to know about Nemu, but Iroha questions Mifuyu's motive for recruiting her, to which Mifuyu says it'd be good for them because she'd be able to investigate about her sister without clashing with them. Iroha presses her about Ui, which she says she doesn't know, and Nemu, but Mifuyu does not say anything else.

...aaand the other girls are standing there in the garden while all this is going on lol

*peek*

Mifuyu invites the girls of Mikadzuki Villa to attend a lecture about what exactly the cult is doing... this is definitely a trap ain't it. At that moment, Yachiyo arrives. Oooh man...

Mifuyu apologizes for the surprise and makes to leave, saying this one unpleasant remark to which Yachiyo angrily replies right away.

Mifuyu provokes Yachiyo, saying how she went back to being her old self, which Yachiyo denies, eventually losing her cool and ordering Mifuyu to leave.

Tsuruno tries to check on Yachiyo but Yachiyo also leaves. Felicia's confused and Tsuruno tries to keep a bright mood, but the atmosphere is definitely ruined.

Yachiyo has went back to her room and-

ohhwoah what is that that's creepy!

So, uhh, Yachiyo is not well at all, she's now hallucinating. Whatever Mifuyu was trying to get at earlier it definitely got to her.

Seems the other girls aren't having a much better night either... but at least they're not hallucinating.

The next day, Iroha relays Mifuyu's invitation to the others. Yachiyo, however, refuses to take part in the conversation and leaves. She's very clearly still bothered about what Mifuyu said, and now she's avoiding her team.

Iroha and the girls have each their reaction to Yachiyo's behavior for a moment, but then go back to the matter at hand. Sana asks if Iroha really plans on going to the lecture, and she says she decided it'd be best to go, after thinking it over. They don't want to fight the cult either, so it shouldn't hurt to at least try to hear them out. Felicia says it's definitely a trap but that they can just break out together then, with Tsuruno agreeing. The two laugh, but doesn't it feel kinda forced?

...and then they realize no one knows where Memory Museum is lol

Mitama! Long time no see.

Iroha drops by the Coordinator's to ask about Memory Museum, which Mitama reveals is a Rumor that's being spread around Sakae Ward.

We then get a scene about the contents of the Rumor. Apparently, the Memory Museum archives memories (who'd thought!) and you can do things with them by ringing a bell, or something. But if you see one you'll end up influenced by it. (I refuse to comment about the goat)

In any case, Momoko points on the map the probable location of Memory Museum, to which Iroha thanks the two and goes back. After Iroha leaving, Mitama advises Momoko to tell "something", at least to Rena, since Kaede is still down, and Momoko says she knows. Quite the dark clouds are on the horizon.

No, literally. It's raining.

Back at Mikadzuki Villa, all the girls except Yachiyo are leaving to go to Memory Museum. Iroha warns Yachiyo they're leaving, but she doesn't answer. Ohh Yachiyo, please, are you sure you won't regret this later?

Iroha and co. naruto run on the rain to Memory Museum, meeting Chibi Kyuubei on the entrance. Yep, definitely Rumor. I might be going crazy but I always think that Iroha looks more her age with the raincoat, despite Madoka's wei- I mean, unique art style. Gotta be something with the proportions.

Also like this detail with Tsuruno's coat folded weird and Felicia's not folded at all lol

We are platformer game now

While climbing up the drawers, the girls talk about chibi Kyuubei, eventually raising suggestions on how to name him... which is funny because that's for the player to decide in the game, so we don't have an official way to call him.

Meanwhile, Rena's meeting up with Momoko. She starts complaining like usual, but soon hesitates when she reads the mood. Momoko says she thought it was time to tell her what happened to Yachiyo one year ago. Wait, what? We never heard about anything either.

But, well... we can guess.

Back at the Memory Museum, Iroha might be the unluckiest mahou shoujo ever, because

One of the Magius is none other than one of her sister's friends.

- x -

Aaand that's it for episode 11. That last scene is a bomb drop, but it's not like you couldn't see it coming from the moment they said Nemu was part of the cult. I mean, if one of the hospital trio was erased from existence, and the other was part of the cult, what were the odds that the last one would be normal? lol

Talking about this scene, I feel compelled to post here the corresponding still from the game, because the world was robbed of Iroha's surprisingly gallant back:

Seriously, when was she ever this cool?

On the other hand, Touka looks like a cute normal kid here which is about as far of the truth as we can get, so I'll give the anime credit for that.

All that aside, we are now approaching the end! With the Magius giving a lecture about salvation and Momoko having a talk with Rena, it's quite clear that the truth about magical girls is about to be revealed to our cast next episode. The big question here is: how will they react? Felicia specially shouldn't be very happy to learn this, considering what her wish was. Exciting!

We also have left to wonder what's up with Yachiyo. Why did what Mifuyu say affect her so much? We have yet to see her backstory, so Momoko talking might just gives us the answer to that question.

With that said, I'll leave it here for today. I can't believe this ended up even later than yesterday considering I start writing even earlier. Dammit short attention span, stop getting sidetracked pls. Tomorrow we'll be watching episode 11 that's looking really promising, so I hope you'll be reading me again then. Have a good morning/afternoon/evening and bye-bye!

Oof Oto is so soft for Melt hnggggg!!!

Hashjsjdh I haven’t watched RAW eps in a while I can barely understand

I know asked about what their intentions are, for like fighting

And all three answer in unison: The World’s Peace

But apparently Oto has a whole different story from MosaRex

It seems like Mosa has this big issue with the Land Tribe because the Ryusoul Tribe fought so long ago

And it seems that Mosa still remembers

And I heard parents??? Maybe Oto and Kanaro’s parents died fighting the civil war?

Wow Oto and Asuna look like sisters so cute

OH MY GOD OTO ASKING MELT IF SHE LOOKS GOOD IS EVEN CUTER

Eeeeeee Melt thinks she looks cute!

Wow Oto really out here flirting with Melt *in an innocent way but shhhh*

Protective Brother switch from Kanaro is: ON

Kou: I think his left arm has a weak spot, I’ll distract him!

Sparkles: Bro why u asking me to help

Kou: do u need a reason???

Shsiskjdks lol

Why do Bambs and Towa keep showing up late.... :(

Also they are right Mr. New Bad looks like he’s covered in red ice, it’s suspicious....

Oh hey! Kanaro looks to be joining the team!

Asuna gave Cannoli some advice... I think he’s supposed to be honest with how he himself feels rather than stay with how MosaRex feels

Well shit turns out the gang hit Mr. NB’s power up button

Mecha time!

Aw damn that doesn’t look good

I think Sparkles wants to summon MosaRex

CMON MOSA QUIT BEING STUBBORN

Oh right Mr. NB’s got a ship form too

Kanaro just up and went: I wanna protect the world too!

And Mosa really out here thinking he’s foolish smh

Oh shit bro (yeah they don’t have swimming powers in their mechs)

Getting Started with React Native

With the ever-increasing popularity of smartphones, developers are looking into solutions for building mobile applications. For developers with a web background, frameworks such as Cordova and Ionic, React Native, NativeScript, and Flutter allow us to create mobile apps with languages we’re already familiar with: HTML, XML, CSS, and JavaScript.

In this guide, we’ll take a closer look at React Native. You’ll learn the absolute basics of getting started with it. Specifically, we’ll cover the following:

what is React Native

what is Expo

how to set up an React Native development environment

how to create an app with React Native

Prerequisites

This tutorial assumes that you’re coming from a web development background. The minimum requirement for you to be able to confidently follow this tutorial is to know HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. You should also know how to install software on your operating system and work with the command line. We’ll also be using some ES6 syntax, so it would help if you know basic ES6 syntax as well. Knowledge of React is helpful but not required.

What is React Native?

React Native is a framework for building apps that work on both Android and iOS. It allows you to create real native apps using JavaScript and React. This differs from frameworks like Cordova, where you use HTML to build the UI and it will just be displayed within the device’s integrated mobile browser (WebView). React Native has built in components which are compiled to native UI components, while your JavaScript code is executed through a virtual machine. This makes React Native more performant than Cordova.

Another advantage of React Native is its ability to access native device features. There are many plugins which you can use to access native device features, such as the camera and various device sensors. If you’re in need of a platform-specific feature that hasn’t been implemented yet, you can also build your own native modules — although that will require you to have considerable knowledge of the native platform you want to support (Java or Kotlin for Android, and Objective C or Swift for iOS).

If you’re coming here and you’re new to React, you might be wondering what it is. React is a JavaScript library for the Web for building user interfaces. If you’re familiar with MVC, it’s basically the View in MVC. React’s main purpose is to allow developers to build reusable UI components. Examples of these components include buttons, sliders, and cards. React Native took the idea of building reusable UI components and brought it into mobile app development.

What is Expo?

Before coming here, you might have heard of Expo. It’s even recommended in the official React Native docs, so you might be wondering what it is.

In simple terms, Expo allows you to build React Native apps without the initial headache that comes with setting up your development environment. It only requires you to have Node installed on your machine, and the Expo client app on your device or emulator.

But that’s just how Expo is initially sold. In reality, it’s much more than that. Expo is actually a platform that gives you access to tools, libraries and services for building Android and iOS apps faster with React Native. Expo comes with an SDK which includes most of the APIs you can ask for in a mobile app development platform:

Camera

ImagePicker

Facebook

GoogleSignIn

Location

MapView

Permissions

Push Notifications

Video

Those are just few of the APIs you get access to out of the box if you start building React Native apps with Expo. Of course, these APIs are available to you as well via native modules if you develop your app using the standard React Native setup.

Plain React Native or Expo?

The real question is which one to pick up — React Native or Expo? There’s really no right or wrong answer. It all depends on the context and what your needs are at the moment. But I guess it’s safe to assume that you’re reading this tutorial because you want to quickly get started with React Native. So I’ll go ahead and recommend that you start out with Expo. It’s fast, simple, and easy to set up. You can dive right into tinkering with React Native code and get a feel of what it has to offer in just a couple of hours.

That said, I’ve still included the detailed setup instructions for standard React Native for those who want to do it the standard way. As you begin to grasp the different concepts, and as the need for different native features arises, you’ll actually find that Expo is kind of limiting. Yes, it has a lot of native features available, but not all the native modules that are available to standard React Native projects are supported.

Note: projects like unimodules are beginning to close the gap between standard React Native projects and Expo projects, as it allows developers to create native modules that works for both React Native and ExpoKit.

Setting Up the React Native Development Environment

In this section, we’ll set up the React Native development environment for all three major platforms: Windows, Linux, and macOS. We’ll also cover how to set up the Android and iOS simulators. Lastly, we’ll cover how to set up Expo. If you just want to quickly get started, I recommend that you scroll down to the “Setting up Expo” section.

Here are the general steps for setting up the environment. Be sure to match these general steps to the steps for each platform:

install JDK

install Android Studio or Xcode

install Watchman

update the environment variable

install the emulator

install Node

install React Native CLI

You can skip to the section relevant to your operating system. Some steps — like setting up Android Studio — are basically the same for each operating system, so I’ve put them in their own section:

setting up on Windows

setting up on Linux

setting up on macOS

setting up Android Studio

install Node

setting up Expo

setting up emulators

install React Native CLI

troubleshooting common errors

Setting Up on Windows

This section will show you how to install and configure the software needed to create React Native apps on Windows. Windows 10 was used in testing for this.

Install Chocolatey

Windows doesn’t really come with its own package manager that we can use to install the needed tools. So the first thing we’ll do is install one called Chocolatey. You can install it by executing the following command on the command line or Windows Powershell:

@"%SystemRoot%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -NoProfile -InputFormat None -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET "PATH=%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin"

We can now install the other tools we need by simply using Chocolatey.

Install Python

Python comes with the command line tools required by React Native:

choco install -y python 2

Install JDK

The JDK allows your computer to understand and run Java code. Be sure to install JDK version 8 as that’s the one required by React Native:

choco install jdk8

Install NVM

Node has an installer for Windows. It’s better to use NVM for Windows, as that will enable you to install multiple versions of Node so that you can test new versions, or use a different version depending on the project you’re currently working on. For that, you can use NVM for Windows. Download nvm-setup.zip, extract it and execute nvm-setup.exe to install it.

Install Watchman

Watchman optimizes the compilation time of your React Native app. It’s an optional install if you’re not working on a large project. You can find the install instructions on their website.

Update the Environment Variables

This is the final step in setting up React Native on Windows. This is where we update the environment variables so the operating system is aware of all the tools required by React Native. Follow these steps right before you install the React Native CLI.

Go to Control Panel → System and Security → System. Once there, click the Advanced system settings menu on the left.

That will open the system properties window. Click on the Environment Variables button:

Under the User variables section, highlight the Path variable and click the edit button.

On the edit screen, click the New button and enter the path to the Android SDK and platform tools. For me, it’s on C:\users\myUsername\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk and C:\users\myUsername\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools. Note that this is also where you add the path to the JDK if it isn’t already added:

Download Z3x Samsung Tool Pro Without Box Latest Version

Z3x Samsung Tool Pro latest version 2019

Download z3x samsung tool pro : Samsung is one of the finest smartphone manufacturers in the world. This Korean tech giant produces at least ten devices a year. You might be the user of the Samsung device and your device is FRP locked. That might be the reason you are here. If that is the case, you are in the right place. In this guide, we will explain how to bypass or remove FRP lock on your Samsung device using the Z3x Samsung Tool. As said earlier Samsung devices are one of the finest ones available in the market. Samsung is world famous for its Galaxy series of smartphones. The original Samsung galaxy was announced in 2009, yes, it was announced ten years ago. Since then, Samsung’s market was tragically grown and now Samsung is always in the top 3 smartphone brand (in terms of sales), all over the globe. More than 2.5 billion people are using Samsung Galaxy devices worldwide. Considering such huge digits, the developments and bug fixes are available from various developers all over the world, Also if you use Z3 samsung tool pro you can do a lot of customization's on your device. Taking back the story to the Samsung Galaxy, the Galaxy line-up is wholly targeted towards smartphone users. Most of the Galaxy devices run Android OS with Samsung’s proprietary skin on top. The old gen Galaxy devices used to run Stock Android. But later they started shipping their devices with Touch Wiz UI which has a huge fan base. Later Touch Wiz was modified and with some huge changes, they renamed Touch Wiz to Samsung Experience UX, Now if you are an user who is using old gen Samsung device then this z3x samsung tool pro can be very handy to you. The Experience UX was a huge disaster. Users got annoyed and started moving to custom ROMs. So, recently Samsung released their new skin which is One UI. One UI started developing fans. If you are using an old Samsung device which runs touch wiz UI or Samsung Experience UX, then in order to fix lags and shutters you might reset or hard reset when bricked.
