![]() ![]() Allowing a player to learn your game against an AI opponent instead of a human opponent right off the bat helps decrease confusion and frustration. Nothing helps integrate a player better into an online card game’s universe than allowing them a chance to practice the game’s mechanics. Let’s look at some crucial categories, shall we? Single Player (offline) What’s more important (for the sake of this website, at least) is examining the success and failures of both products as videogames. Both games contain entirely different mechanics and fundamentals, and I won’t waste any time talking about which game functions better as a tag alone. However, at the basest level, both games are still in essence the same thing: collectible online deck building videogames. Shadow Era, on the other hand, has been around as a program only for the past year or so, and has only just recently announced physical cards. Technically, it’s only been in open beta since August 2011, but I’ll address later why I feel that doesn’t excuse PTCGO from being judged as a brand new videogame. The Pokémon TCG has been around for over a dozen years in physical form, with organized competition existing in one form or another for at least a decade. Today, I’ll be talking about the major factors behind PTGO’s lackluster introduction, and comparing Pokémon’s major problems to another online trading card game that executes it’s problems a little better: Shadow Era.Īt face value, both of these games exist on entirely different scales. With the Pokémon Trading Card Game Online program alive for a handful of months now, I can think of no better way to share my knowledge. Unfortunately, the latter is true.Īs a game journalist, I’ve been looking for ways to integrate my best game-related skills into what I write. ![]() Conversely, it also meant that if the release was poor, I’d be extra critical of the game. Because of this, it was only natural that I would be much more excited than the average person about the release of the Pokémon Trading Card Game Online program earlier this year. I’ve been playing since the game’s creation in 1998, I’ve been running an online show about the game for over two years, and I even ended at 5th place for last year’s world championships. ![]() Sound good? Good! Today’s post is a nice hybrid between the two things that I love-Pokémon cards and videogames:Īs I’m sure most of you are aware, I am a huge enthusiast of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. As much as I love games, changing things up to write about my favorite hobby now and then should be a nice way to break the pace while still letting me work on my writing craft. As I’m looking to move forward to writing about videogame journalism, I’m already finding myself writing over 20,000-30,000 words a week. The articles will likely have nothing to do with strategy, but rather about more abstract concepts, such as commentary on the state of the game as a whole, an analysis on card games, or the occasional joke article making fun of the stupid things we all do playing this game. While technically most episodes of the show had a written script, I feel like it’ll be nice to return to a written format for everybody to read every now and then. I never wrote a second article because I ended up going straight from that into episodes of Prof-It!. Long, long ago I wrote an article on SixPrizes about Gardevoir/Gallade and I really enjoyed sharing my work with you guys (way back in September 2009!). I can’t promise a specific deadline or anything, but if a subject in the realm of Pokémon or card games interests me down the line, I’ll share my thoughts here for you guys to read. If you’re deeply interested in videogames and want to share a conversation about my different opinions on them, stop by sometime and leave a comment! If you’re not really that into games, don’t worry if you’re not into the site! While I’m sure Adam would let me shamelessly self-promote here if I wanted to, I have a little more of a purpose today.Įvery now and again, I’ll be stopping by here to write articles outside of Underground. Today’s post is from my new personal videogames blog, .įor those of you who haven’t been keeping up with my life (I really can’t blame you if you haven’t), I’ve been pursuing a career in videogame journalism. Today I’m going to be doing something similar to what Esa did back in October for The Deck Out and post something on SixPrizes as a way to introduce you to the blog that the post is from. Hey everybody, and welcome to something a little different! ![]()

![]() ![]() Over eight years later, a viral Tumblr comic redefined the process in question, depicting one stick figure yelling “vibe check!” to another before whacking its companion over the head with a baseball bat. Grounded in a belief in pachouli, sage, or karma and sometimes veggie burgers.” Not anchored in or limited to science, psychology or sociology. Urban Dictionary’s original 2011 definition of “vibe check,” though gently critical of bohemian pseudoscience, is innocuous enough: “A process by which a group or individual obtains a subjective assessment of the mental and emotional state of another person, place or thing. Put simply, “vibe check” needs its vibes checked. From compassionate to violent to purely bizarre, the phrase’s dizzying array of connotations merits analysis. Such is the Schrödinger-esque reality of life in a world where “vibe check,” the Lernaean Hydra of 21st century vernacular, has developed more shades of meaning than there are hues of healing crystals, essential oils, and other purported recipes for good vibes. Your heart skips a beat as you freeze, bracing for what’s to come: either a friendly emotional check-in or a vicious blow to the head. Imagine you’re alone in one of those liminal, reality-meets-reverie spaces after a certain hour of the night - think IHOP, Denny’s, or any other 24/7 fast-food establishment with eerie fluorescent lighting - when a voice behind you utters two fateful words: ![]() ![]() ![]()
I can’t test for this if you are using BIg Talker 2 as a music player, since it is already padding duration information beyond the minimum. To help prevent this, there is an option on the player handler to mark it as a SqueezeLite, and a warning message will be generated if the resulting speech track is too short. The solution is more verbose speech, usually adding a phrase to get beyond 11-12 words is enough. The player will appear to be playing, but produce no sound, and the timer will continue to increase or loop. However, the SqueezeLite implementation has a known problem with very short tracks, under 5 seconds seems to be the limit I found. Speech, in general, produces a short track to play. All play music fine, but speech presented a few issues to overcome. I have been testing this with a Boom, a piCorePlayer, a Google Home, and a Google Home Mini. Several new player settings to customize player action, see Git documentation. New commands associated with this are button1(), button2(), and button3(). With this you should be able to automate music. #Start stop logitech media server windows 10 how toSee documentation on Git on how to do this. You will need to load a LMS HTTP API command into the settings. ![]() These are to allow starting music within Smartthings. Shuffle may result in a different song, since saving a playlist is shuffle order isn’t supported in the API being use. The speak command will attempt to restore the player to it’s state before the speech event is sent. It seems to work fine as either a music player or speech synthesis device. Report back if you find issues with it or other apps, I’ll be curious to see what happens. I’ve tested this a bit with Big Talker 2. The speak(msg) command has been implemented using Smartthings text to speech. As usual, there will probably be issues, since my testing is limited to me. This version includes new functionality and a smartapp for voice/routine control. Just finished uploading new version of the code.

This is mainly a “because I want to see if I can” effort, but I wanted to share my results. Player status information is updated from the server. Multiple players can be controlled individually with one server. It only requires two device handlers and no bridge program. There have been several discussions and attempts at controlling Squeezebox (Logictech Media Server) in Smartthings. #Start stop logitech media server windows 10 updateUPDATE - Version 2.0 has been uploaded See below post. ![]() I’ve since given up on the Smartthings ecosystem. The last time I checked a few months ago, the future of LAN devices was unknown. The unknowns of of the new developer’s platform made this too much to pursue further. The stop command results in only one line of output 'Stopping Logitech Media Server.I am no longer updating or supporting this code. Is there something about the service trying to output messages and failing? Where would I look to find out, and how would I fix it? It doesn't require any input after the password. It seems the service is checking to make sure it's not running first. Starting Logitech Media from a launcher I only get asked for my password, and see no more. No process in pidfile '/var/run/logitechmediaserver.pid' found running none killed. Making sure that Logitech Media Server is not running first: start-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill 2509: No such process If I run the command straight from a terminal I sudo service logitechmediaserver start I have checked and rechecked the command. It's the start command that does nothing.
