His first sandbox was Doom 2, a popular modder's target. This is not, it seems, a recent behaviour ever since discovering the 3D modelling program Imagine in a 90s PC Format magazine demo disc, James has viewed games as sandboxes for his own playful ideas. James displays a primordial need to add, to tinker, to improve. "It didn't change the gameplay, but it looked better than what most people would have been playing." "I had already modded the ini file for the game before I played it," James says. Colonial Marines might be broken, but it does feature some cool-looking Xenos. James was content with doing what he loved most - tweaking, fixing and improving - and, over five years later, he's still doing it to Gearbox's failed FPS. So, James set about tinkering with Aliens Colonial Marines' secrets while others, such as myself, were busy being angry. As he tells me numerous times over the course of our conversations, he doesn't play games, he mods them. In James' eyes, playing comes second to modding. ![]() He bought it, downloaded it and installed it, but he wasn't playing it. Meanwhile, down under, Australian modder James 'TemplarGFX' Dickinson wasn't playing Colonial Marines. The AI was broken, the gunplay was unreliable, and the "perfect organism" - the Aliens themselves - couldn't even run at the player properly. Gearbox's first-person shooter was an infestation worthy of being nuked from orbit. But then, in February 2013, Aliens Colonial Marines came out and the horror of its truth became reality. After witnessing a gorgeous, atmospheric engine showcase back in 2011, fans of the series were hungrily awaiting a true sequel to the iconic 1986 film. 2013's Aliens: Colonial Marines is one of the most memorable gaming disappointments we've ever seen. ![]() ![]() ![]() Other microdosers report relief from depression and headaches.Ģ. Fadiman recommends a dose of 10 to 20 micrograms of LSD, about a tenth of a standard recreational dose, and says that those who microdose correctly feel less happy, less anxious, and more creative. Authoring "The Psychedelic Explorer's Guide," Fadiman's recent work looks at the effects of small doses of the drugs on various ailments, as well as creativity, general health and well-being. ![]() James Fadiman has been studying the effects of psychedelic drugs since the 1960s, before LSD was banned by the FDA. "What if it was possible to tap acid at almost imperceptible levels as a way to heighten normal, day-to-day functioning without all the mind melt?" Brian Anderson asks on Motherboard.ĭr. Recreational drug-users often say that LSD allows them to see the world with newfound clarity and perspective, but the intense visual and auditory hallucinations of an LSD trip also can be incredibly overwhelming and unpleasant. In hopes of getting to the bottom of this microdosing business, ATTN: looked into the effects of small doses of popular street drugs and their medical value. So should we all be splitting tabs at our desks instead of circling the coffee machine? Small doses of LSD and psilocybin mushrooms are said to enhance alertness and creativity, while providing an alternative to addictive stimulants like Adderall and Ritalin. Though street drugs don't always bare resemblance to the pure compounds developed in labs, many doctors, scientists and patients alike believe they have medicinal value.Ī November 2015 report by Forbes observes that a new kind of psychedelic use called microdosing is becoming increasing popular in the tech industry.

Premiere was based on ReelTime, a product acquired from SuperMac Technologies Inc. Premiere Pro refers to versions released in 2003 and later, whereas Premiere refers to the earlier releases. Premiere Pro is the successor to Adobe Premiere and was launched in 2003. It was replaced by Adobe Premiere Pro (introduced in 2003), a rewritten version of Adobe Premiere. Premiere included 24 transition effects and a plug-in architecture that was compatible with some Photoshop filters. However, it was limited to processing video and images that were 1024 pixels wide, or less. As a result, its ability to import new video formats could also be upgraded by updating to a newer compatible version of Quicktime. Premiere was one of the first QuickTime-based video editors on the market. Ubillos also left SuperMac to join Adobe. The software project was acquired by Adobe Systems in August 1991 and was renamed Adobe Premiere. SuperMac engineer Randy Ubillos created a working demo of ReelTime in about 10 weeks while QuickTime was still in beta. The project began at SuperMac Technology as ReelTime, a QuickTime-based video editor for its VideoSpigot video capture card. The first version for Mac released in 1991, and the first version for Microsoft Windows was released in September 1993. Premiere was one of the first computer non-linear editing systems. It was first launched in 1991, and its final version was released in 2002.

I also rebuilt the documentation website with Gatsby. If you think the app is great, I really appreciate your upvote!□ Let’s keep it evolving together :) Support Inkdrop on ProductHunt I can fix bugs quickly and improve core features while keeping it stable, just like the early days. What it does mean to users is that I can now move faster. But here, I am so happy to finish the big task! But I know it would be a dangerous way because I saw many companies have given up rebuilding their services since it requires lots of hard work and grit. I felt like I can’t continue developing it without rebuilding from scratch. I was worried that it will cause a big problem on the project’s sustainability in the near future. Some dependencies of the stack were already obsolete. I found that it can be improved much better in terms of implementation. As Inkdrop grew, I have learned a lot of good practices from it. At that time, I was new to develop apps on top of Electron and ReactJS. It was a long journey, but why? Let me explain a bit - The first version of Inkdrop was built 3 years ago. ![]() Why Did It Take 7 Months for Developing New Version?ĩ months ago, as I explained in the roadmap (vol.3), I decided to rebuild the desktop app for making ground-up improvements. So, this project is not just a paid app but also a story about a man who tries to live his life with personal development. While working on this project, I’m sharing how I did and what I learned on this blog as following: My strategy to monetize with Inkdrop successfully worked well, and I eventually quit doing freelance works in the past year. I am a freelance developer based in Japan, running this project for 3 years alone (See also: How I kept my solo project going over 3 years). For those who are new to Inkdrop, check out the website here for more detail. Inkdrop is a note-taking app with robust Markdown editor, built for developers. (Thank you, Erdem, Otawara-san, Asish, derkork, FORTRAN, Kazutaka-san, Horii-san, leptospira489, John, Gustavo, Nicolo, Andreas for the bug reports and suggestions.) Let me take you through what’s new in v4, which comes with new icon look, bunch of new features and ground-up improvements for increasing your productivity! What is Inkdrop? Thanks to all folks who joined the beta testing, I could finally roll it out. I’m very excited to announce that Inkdrop v4 is now available to all users. ![]() |
