This foresight means no pain for them today!) Now, however, the plausible choices have quadrupled to include Android and iOS on portable devices, and Linux and OS X on desktop systems - in addition to Windows on desktop and portable devices. (A few CAD firms, such as Graphisoft and Vectorworks, began on the Mac some twenty years ago, and since then developed their software simultaneously for OS X and Windows. Admittedly, a mere five years ago, no CAD programmer would have dreamed of writing code for anything other than Windows. For instance, a programming team at Autodesk took 18 months to rewrite AutoCAD for Mac and OS X, and even then something like 30% of commands were left out of the initial release, as were most programming interfaces for third-party programmers. Microsoft deliberately made it easy for programmers to write software for Windows, but then came the cost of making it excruciatingly difficult to tear away from Windows. Even for a large, wealthy firm like Autodesk, porting CAD programs to other operating systems is a difficult undertaking, because most of today’s CAD software is intimately intertwined with the Windows operating system. The problems lie behind the scenes, specifically in the areas of programming interfaces and user interface elements. Porting is the term used to describe the process of making a software program work correctly with another operating system. Here are the comparison charts from each CAD vendor for the functions included with the various operating systems: AutoCAD Windows vs Mac: BricsCAD Windows and Mac vs Linux: SOLVING THE PROBLEM OF PORTING SOFTWARE TO LINUX The part of the CAD system that deals with geometric objects is not a problem in porting. Bricsys now ships their Mac version just after the Windows version comes out. Autodesk has a version of AutoCAD for Mac computers, but it has only about 85% of the commands found in the Windows version. Bricsys is working hard to ensure that nearly all of the features in the Windows version operate properly in the Linux version. AutoCAD is not available for Linux, but BricsCAD is. One firm told me that replacing Windows with the free Linux operating system saves them 10% of their annual IT budget. The Dual OS Office To further save money, some firms switch some of their workstations from Windows to Linux.

Even Tokyo’s most hallowed hotel concierges are unlikely to be able to help you. It is notoriously difficult to even be able to dine here. This is the kind of restaurant you should eat at after you’ve eaten more extensively at other high-end sushi restaurants, simply because you’ll be able to discern and appreciate the subtle differences and extraordinary care taken with even standard pieces far more. His shari is made with mild red vinegar and is a tad saltier than at most restaurants it’s then paired with impeccably prepared neta (topping) ranging from aged fish to rigorously temperature-controlled sea urchin. Just watch Chef Saito make the sushi: the economy of movement, the deftness of his hands when shaping each piece. While perfection technically doesn’t exist, the sushi is so consistently well-executed that it’s hard to imagine anything better. Sushi Saito Takashi Saito at work inside Sushi Saito ( photo by City Foodsters CC BY)įor most sushi eaters, the holy grail of eating experiences is at the tiny, eight-seat, introduction-only Sushi Saito in Ark Hills. Let’s get right into our list of 25 outstanding Tokyo sushi shops. As the saying goes, you miss 100 percent of the shots you don’t take. But if your heart is absolutely set on eating at a particular restaurant, there’s probably no harm in at least trying to obtain a reservation there. You won’t miss out on much if you never eat at Jiro or Saito. Maybe one day, you’ll meet someone kind enough to take you to one of these restaurants. That’s the unfortunate reality of some high-end sushi-ya, who cater to their regular customers first. You’ll notice that some of these are exclusive, introduction-only restaurants. It’s up to you to decide which one to try! All of them have their strengths and drawbacks. There are hundreds of them in Tokyo, and this is but a fraction of them. I’ve put together a list of great sushi restaurants in Tokyo. (Learn more about common sushi myths and misconceptions). The more widely you eat, the more you’ll be able to discern and appreciate at each meal. Is it best for first-time diners to experience a certain style of shari (seasoned sushi rice), at a particular price point, or for the relatively experienced sushi connoisseur who can distinguish between fish in different seasons? The answers vary depending on who you are, how well you know sushi, and how much you’re willing to pay relative to the experience. “Best” is an extremely subjective metric. The more you pay for sushi, the more discerning you’ll have to be about your likes and dislikes. But in the last few years, I’ve come around to the idea that it is far more rewarding to work your way up to top-quality sushi by eating widely at different price points, rather than jumping straight into the deep end with “Tokyo’s best sushi” Why is that? The cult documentary Jiro Dreams of Sushi made the rarefied sushi meal highly sought after by gourmands all over the world. If you’re like most travelers visiting Japan, a high-end sushi meal is on your culinary bucket list - it’s no surprise, as eating sushi in Tokyo (and Japan in general) is on an entirely different level! I was 16, and I was like, “Oh my God, a Gucci coat.” I never wore it because it was too special, it was just in my closet. I can also tell you that the blue-and-cream Gucci coat that I wore as Poppy in Wild Child, in the scene where she arrives at the school, I still have in storage. Does wardrobe influence how you get into the headspace to play those roles? That character, Poppy, also feels like a precursor to your later TV roles on Scream Queens and American Horror Story. One of your early films, Wild Child, emphasizes how important wardrobe choices are in building a character. Sometimes when you hear “campaign,” you think, Okay, are they gonna want me to cut my hair or dye my eyebrows or look like someone else? To get to do a campaign and look like yourself and give people a peek into your life is really fun.įrom top: Photo: Courtesy of Saks Photo: Courtesy of Saks I thought it would be really fun to give people a peek into my Saks closet, since all of the pieces I was wearing are pieces that I own or want to own or just really love. All of the outfits revolved around parts of my life that are important to me - working, being a mom. Saks wanted to do a campaign that revolves around stuff I actually wear and love. Your partnership with Saks for its spring fashion campaign has such a range of fun looks - what inspired you there? It’s harder than it seems to find the perfect stripe! So the perfect stripe with a light-wash denim and a loafer is just very springy, very Audrey Hepburn. I have one from Kule that I live in and love. I think you can’t go wrong with a little striped T-shirt or a striped cashmere sweater. It makes any outfit look a little more elevated.ĭo you have other go-to patterns or styles? And then I have this leopard Valentino bag that was a gift that I absolutely love. Tights are a fun way to do a little pop of leopard. They peeked out a little and it totally made the outfit. Even last night, I was wearing a long black vintage dress, and I put on Wolford leopard tights under it. I also feel like leopard is a great transitional print because anything leopard can look fall, it can look spring. There’s some from Ganni that I really like Isabel Marant always does a great job. I love a coat that can transition from winter to spring. What are your favorite transitional pieces that will carry you through a full day of changing temperatures? Before diving into the evening’s festivities, Roberts spoke to the Cut about how her personal style influenced the Saks campaign: “To get to do a campaign and look like yourself and give people a peek into your life is really fun.” Saks’ New York Fashion Week kickoff party was a glitzy affair held at Hotel Aman’s sultry jazz bar, and the room, scented with layers of luxe perfumes and many glasses of Champagne, was full of style icons like Julia Fox and Sasha Velour. The night opened with performances by Charli XCX and Big Freedia and concluded with pizza, caviar, and a high-energy DJ set from the very fashionable, very talented Alice Longyu Gao. One of her campaign “duties” included hosting a fabulous function. I think everyone’s gonna have a lot of fun seeing those outfits,” Roberts says of her character.) On top of her film and television plans for the year, she’s the new face of Saks Fifth Avenue’s spring fashion campaign. (“She’s a little bit raver, a little bit Florida, and she makes her own clothing. Soon, she’ll star in Space Cadet, in which she plays a party-girl raver tasked with saving the NASA space program. Her year is stacked with projects, like her Belletrist book club, which led to a successful Hulu adaptation of Tell Me Lies, and a recent rom-com called Maybe I Do. If you thought you’d seen the last of Emma Roberts, joke’s on you - the actress and producer has been busier than ever lately.

We need someone who is a reliable team player & is flexible to perform multiple tasks throughout the day. We are searching for a highly motivated & goal oriented individual someone who can work side by side with the management & sales team in our office LucasArts (the video game wing of Lucasfilm) was actively developing Star Wars 1313. Also, its setting on the dense city world of Coruscant is notable, too, with few Star Wars games taking the player the city-planet. The Book of Boba Fett series is the end of a long road of many attempts at a spin-off for the character. Unlike many Star Wars games, it would have involved platforming, third-person shooting, and interactive environments. The new videos do, however, shed more light on the game’s novel elements. These new videos not only give an extended look at the game, in comparison to what’s been revealed in the past, but explicitly show how Boba Fett would handle as a playable character. That’s left many Star Wars fans craving every ounce of the game they can get, leaping upon leaks and details about its early build. Since then, the game has been shelved and is unlikely to ever return to development. This week's video is the first to show what Boba Fett looked like as 1313 's playable hero, a development shift mandated by George Lucas months before the E3 2012 reveal. Officially revealed at E3 in 2012, development on the game had all but stopped by the following year after Disney purchased Lucasfilm. President of LucasFilm Kathleen Kennedy said in 2015 that the game was “gold” and that they don’t “want to throw any of that stuff away.” She also noted that they were “spending a lot of time looking at, pouring through, discussing, and may very well develop those things further.” However, that was almost seven years ago and with all of the other Star Wars games in production, it seems unlikely that 1313 will make any official reappearance any time soon and will only live on through leaks like these.Star Wars 1313 has gained a reputation as a tragically lost title. Artist Gus Mendonça also released some concept art of the game online a few years ago, too. That same year, Reddit user LifeByTheSword also uploaded a screen shot of Boba Fett on the same planet and features the same HUD and general look of the leaked footage. In 2020, Christopher Scott, who was a lead environmental artist on the game, uploaded some artwork on his ArtStation page, which also featured Coruscant. An animation test was uploaded to YouTube in 2016 and had some of the same footage seen at the end of the leaked gameplay. This is not the first time Star Wars 1313 has leaked out onto the internet. RELATED: Rumor: Star Wars Eclipse Is Still Few Years Away, Quantic Dream ‘Struggling’ To Hire Staff But it does show what LucasArts was going for and seems like a natural continuation of what was in the E3 2012 demo. There are many unfinished textures in this footage and it’s only available in 480p, meaning it is a little blurry. The video then ends with some unrelated snippets of other parts of the game like dramatic enemy death animations, more platforming, melee brawling, and various other animations that all takes place in a gray testing environment. Wouldve loved to have seen the story behind that. Its also cool seeing Boba in a proto version of his iconic outfit, having not painted Jangos armor yet. Now an orphan, Boba Fett grew up in the galaxy’s criminal underworld. The movement, design, sound (especially the sound), and basic gameplay mechanics demonstrated here were quite different compared to other Star Wars titles at the time. As 1313 would have focused on the seedier elements of the Star Wars canon, the storytelling would have dipped its toes into darker, more mature themes around Coruscants criminal underworld, with Boba Fett and a companion assassin droid getting caught in the middle of a major criminal conspiracy throughout the level of 1313. It then does a hard cut to an on-foot chase that is reminiscent of Uncharted as Fett pursues his target and completes various acrobatic feats along the way. The expert swordsman beheaded Boba’s father, an act that spawned a lifelong hatred of Jedi in the child. The video shows the bounty hunter walking through some market on Coruscant, a planet that has been featured or mentioned in other Star Wars media like Rogue One, Clone Wars, and The Phantom Menace. It was to follow the bounty hunter Boba Fett navigating Level 1313, a subterranean metropolis. This leaked gameplay was uploaded from The Vault, a channel mainly focused on Free Radical’s Battlefront III, yet another canceled Star Wars game. Star Wars: 1313 was a video game in development at LucasArts. Some bits and pieces have trickled out over the years, but now a gameplay video has leaked out, showing over three minutes of gameplay starring Boba Fett.įEATURED: Three Star Wars Games Including Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2 Announced Out of all of the canceled Star Wars games, Star Wars 1313 was one of the more memorable ones because of its impressive showing at E3 2012, one year before the Disney acquisition more or less killed it. The suave, smooth-talking physicist-bureaucrat was an ardent proponent of high-technology weapons programs, the more esoteric the better, dispensing billions of dollars for weapons development without excessive concern for cost or practical results. His title, director of defense research and engineering, a post he occupied from 1965 to 1973, belied the immense power of his office, since the research projects he authorized and paid for could turn into multibillion-dollar production programs.

It is a very, very successful system.”įoster’s support was potent. that there has been no case where the enemy has successfully come through the sensor field. Foster, was even more unbridled in his enthusiasm, telling a congressional committee in 1969 that “this system has been so effective. “Just as it is almost impossible to be an agnostic in the Cathedral of Notre Dame,” reported Leonard Sullivan, a high-ranking Pentagon official who visited in 1968, “so it is difficult to keep from being swept up in the beauty and majesty of the Task Force Alpha temple.” The futuristic complex at Nakhon Phanom, on the other hand, could move privileged visitors to awe. Needless to say, Harrison did not encounter senior officers at the barebones strips where he was usually based. South Vietnamese volunteers transport ammunition along the Ho Chi Minh Trail for The People's Liberation Army Forces in 1972. No computer would calculate, as he learned to do, that footprints on a muddy trail early in the morning if it had rained only during the night probably belonged to the enemy, since civilians were wary of moving at night and being killed if caught breaking curfew.

Marshall Harrison, a former high school teacher, spent 1969 piloting a slow-flying air force plane with excellent visibility called an OV-10 Bronco over South Vietnam as a forward air controller tasked with tracking and fixing the enemy for bombing by jet fighter-bombers.Įquipped with no surveillance device more sophisticated than his own eyes, he learned to look for signs that no sensor would ever catch: “fresh tracks along a trail, smoke coming from areas where there should be no smoke, too many farmers toiling in the paddy fields. With first round kill probabilities approaching certainty, and with surveillance devices that can continually track the enemy, the need for large forces to fix the opposition will be less important.”Īs it so happened, other components of the air force were fighting a very different kind of war.

Nothing that casting Heal can't fix - assuming we overcome the 16% minimum failure rate. You resist the effect! You have been stunned. Waldern, King of Water fires a jet of water. Waldern, King of Water shrugs off the attack. Waldern can't walk a straight line I guess he's drunk In particular, he can cast Whirlpool, which causes confusion - but we're protected. Waldern is less dangerous than Ariel, as he's slower and has slightly fewer HP his spells are a bit more dangerous to compensate. Okay, what the hell? Ariel and Waldern aren't coded to show up together, so this is just a weird coincidence. Waldern, King of Water casts a ball of frost. Now go bother some other part of the dungeon. In addition to destroying items on the floor, the elemental uniques can all also trample weaker monsters. Oh, well, she just saved us some effort on that front. Ariel, Queen of Air tramples over the Demonic quylthulg. Ariel, Queen of Air shrugs off the attack. She also has 2700 HP and isn't evil, so we don't really want to tangle with her. She's very fast, can confuse with her melee (though our new cloak protects us from that), and casts lightning and cold spells. We run into it again, but this time it has a friend: Ariel, Queen of Air. Oh well there's not much to be done about it. We get three Orbs in before it teleports away it has 420 HP so that didn't really accomplish anything. Raal's also just happens to be the mage book that enters native depth at 2500'. Oh, sod off, Raal's! You play coy all game when we're playing a mage, and you pop right up when we're playing a priest. That potion in our room is a Potion of Strength, taking us to 18/78 internal STR. So we're keeping our eyes peeled for libraries.Ī nice quiet opening. In short, the odds of us finding that book just went up. But floor items always use the current dungeon level, and items in vaults can be from even deeper. Monster drop levels are max(monster level, average(dungeon level, monster level)) - that is, if the monster is weak for the current dungeon level, then it drops worse stuff. When an item is "out of depth", that means that its native depth is deeper than the drop level (for the monster dropping the item, or for the placement of the item on the floor). Halfway there! And at 2500', a certain prayerbook enters native depth, making it a bit more likely that we'll find it. Last time, we fled screaming from a number of dangerous foes, beat up Kavlax in a fit of pique, and improved our HP some. Hey, 50 updates! Too bad it's not a nice round number like 64.
