Bluepoint proved its worth with the Demon's Souls remake, and one can only hope that Sony tasks it with rejuvenating Bloodborne sooner rather than later. However, Bloodborne has the scope to become a lot prettier, especially in the hands of a talented studio. While Bloodborne does seem a tad washed out compared to other Souls games, it fits the Victorian era aesthetic perfectly. ![]() In the Central Yharnam scenes, for example, the fires are much brighter than the original, and the puddles are more reflective. It involved a fair bit of video editing and some AI trickery, along with upscaling the footage to 8K to get the best results. It does, however, paint an excellent picture of what Bloodborne could look like on a modern-day PC/console.ĮlAnalistaDeBits use several tricks to spruce up Bloodborne. Unfortunately, bossfights are not included, but that is understandable, given the complexity of remastering Bloodborne's notoriously aggressive bosses. The video explores several ironic locations in Bloodborne, such as Central Yharnam, The Nightmare Frontier, The Forbidden Woods, Hemwick Charnel Lake, Painhurst Castle and the Hunter's Dream. Meanwhile, YouTube content creator ElAnalistaDeBits took it upon themself to draw up a remastered version of Bloodborne from scratch. ![]() Japan Studio's separation with Sony will make matters worse, as it played an integral role in developing Bloodborne with FromSoftware. ![]() The prospect of a Bloodborne PC port/remaster ever being released seems grim, even though it has been echoed by multiple industry insiders.

Boys’ love is largely written by women, for women, and has little connection to gay fiction and even less with the often-grim reality of gay life in China. While the writing feels thoroughly queer, there’s a twist. Known as danmei (耽美 – indulging beauty) in Chinese, the tradition has strong roots in Korea and Japan. While a decade ago this genre was bubbling away in the quietest corners of the Chinese internet, a series of hit online and TV dramas mean BL is now big business.īoys’ love isn’t new, dating back to 1960s fan fiction that saw Captain Kirk and Doctor Spock finally acting on the sexual tension between the characters portrayed by William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy. Yet just a year later, Chinese TV hit on the secret sauce: take out the women, set it in a fantasy world, and ramp up the sexual tension between the boys.īoys’ love, or BL, is the new black, and Chinese audiences and readers can’t get enough of it.

The Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office Emergency Response Team and the Lee County Sheriff’s Office were also now on scene along with a mobile unit.

However, Bertolino said Laundrie “couldn’t find the law enforcement,” because they were then out of sight and didn’t want to leave the bag there with a news reporter standing nearby, so he picked it up. The dry bag is a white bag, laying in the woods, say 20 feet or so off the trail.”īertolino said, according to Chris Laundrie, the dry bag was in some brambles and he didn’t want to pick up the bag, because he wanted his law enforcement to see it. “At some point, Chris locates what’s called a dry bag.

He was zigzagging in different areas, law enforcement was doing the same thing. “As they went further in, Chris ventured off the trail into the woods. ![]() The parents walked the trail followed closely by law enforcement personnel, “certainly within eye shot,” the attorney said.

From the color it has, to the parts, tires and so on. Now about making your car stronger, you can choose to customize it in various ways. ![]() Soon enough you will be able to afford a super good car and very strong car parts, so it’s good to start here! It’s easy and fast, and easy money from the race cannot be a bad thing, right? Make sure you “farm” this race because especially early on, it is super useful and it will give you more money than you think. Do this and basically you will have earned 4000 from a single race! You will definitely win this one, so you will see that you gained 2000 $ from it! Underneath it, there is an option which lets you double the money by watching an ad. – Go to Race -> Drag -> Freerun -> Beginner and go for the 1 Mile Race in Tsukuba! – Buy a couple of items which you see interesting if you want (we will cover everything about the Parts in the Parts Store below) else move on to the next step! ![]() – Buy a new car which has pretty decent Speed and not a lot of Weight (I went with Asia -> seventh car) – Firstly, right when you are starting off in the game you will have some money, around over 10000. I suggest getting a new car that can take you a whole mile and win, and start making money! This is how this works: One of the best ways that you can start making money from the earlier stages is by making a quick investment. Once you have a complete understanding of how the game works, and how the controls work especially, we can move on to the next tip! This will send you to a new race which is definitely one hundred percent winnable, so make sure you do it over and over again until you understand how the game plays out. Head on to the “Race” button and select “Drag” -> “Freerun” -> “Beginner” and select “GO”. Usually drag races don’t take as long as the Street ones, so let’s try that for start! Once you are done setting up your controls, it’s time to get used to them! You can start simple, by going onto a drag race which is not super requiring, and will let you try them out quickly. Now you can try out various combinations, but make sure you try them out and use the ones that you find the best fitting for your play style. Choose the one you are most familiar with, it’s easier that way. – MPH and KMH are the “Miles per hour” or “Kilometers per hour”, which is what the speed meter will show you. Now you can choose whichever option you find most comfortable for yourself, but I personally prefer the two with plus and minus, plus being on the right side. – Shifting is basically how you are shifting the gears. It’s easier to use the on screen arrows in my opinion, because that way you will not shift your device by mistake and bump into another car, slowing yourself down. ![]() – Steering will come into play especially when you are doing the races throughout the cities, the capture the flag and so on. So, head on to the “Options” menu in the main game interface and there you will see on the right side three little options which you should adjust: Steering, Shifting and MPH or KMH. We want to win easily, and not make the game much harder than it has to be, right? Setting up your controls is super important, because right when I started playing I had no idea the game doesn’t come with an instructions manual and that you will have to discover everything on your own.īasically the first thing you should get going is setting up your custom controls so that you can get used to how the game plays out and make every race much easier.

When two glossy things are touching each other, the air bubbles in between form Newton rings. The reason for this is that the glossy side of the film is very smooth, and so is the scanner glass. I then scan my film, flip the image in SilverFast, and it’s perfect, with NO Newton rings. I then laid my museum / anti reflective glass on top of the filmstrip, with the matte side facing DOWN, toward the film. I then laid my filmstrip on the scanner glass bed with the emulsion side (the matte side where the film stock name is backwards) facing down, TOWARD the scanner glass. One side of the glass is glossy and reflective, the other side is matte and less reflective. I figured out how to get rid of the Newton rings - I went to a local framer and had her cut a sheet of museum glass / anti-reflective glass.

It was a staple in the 1800s and remains on menus to this day – unique to Owensboro. Daviess County was a home to many German Immigrants who raised wool for sheep, and used the meat for mutton. Mutton is an Owensboro delicacy, and there is a story behind it. It’s a no-frills establishment that started in 1918 and is known for its famous mutton, award-winning bar-b-que, and cooking sauce.

Set aboard an ocean liner serving as the setting of a new movie, Layers of Fear 2 explores the torment of an actor under the direction of an unconventional director (as portrayed by the incomparable Tony Todd). Layers of Fear 2 is a staggering achievement in the genre, but much like the original game, it too has its own caveats - of which keeps perfection from its grasp. This rings true in each facet of the game’s parts - from the gamut of its twisted machinations to its approach to storytelling, the latter of which is the most complex, thought-provoking story that the studio has told to date.
