With this modifier that's going to work in her favor as she's gonna gain bb-meter like crazy and maybe even BB3 right out of a combo when being blocked, forcing the opponent to play more aggressively, increasing the risk of making a mistake, which in this case might lead to a guaranteed 10 second doom.įor Mummy I have the BB3, the three Sekhmet BB's and then Scarlet Ladies as her only special move. Eliza is known for not having the best AI so she gets blocked a lot when attacking. I think this is also a very good fit for the Fire boss node because this is its modifier for all elements: "Hits quickly build blockbuster-meter if the opponent is blocking". I feel like SS-M really screws up people's combos, giving Eliza more survivability and more openings to BB3, but with CoK combined with Pharaomones the opponent is basically gonna be Cursed all the time (especially on the water, air and light top node because those all give the defending fighters buffs for being hit), making the BB3 Doom almost guaranteed to be inflicted when she gets to use it and giving the opponent much less of a chance of surviving the doom with a Final Stand or Blessing. For catas I'm using Doomsday and Pharaohmones for sure, but I'm still kinda in doubt between Super Slo-Mo or Curse of Knowledge for the third one. I plan on eventually replacing Bloodbath with Stand Out. That's kinda what I'm trying to build as well, but with Mummy, Velvet and Bloodbath. SO because she has huge HP and Scarlet because she tends to Bleed herself lol. I open Blood Oath to my Stand Out and Scarlet Viper. Yup, probably we notice how dumb Eliza AI work, BUT of course the concern will be there when she / AI has a BB3 ready. I found Ritual Sacrifice / Meter one is a more threatening defense. Worry not my friend, just use Shekmet's Unblockable Charge and voila! You got the opening to attack. ![]() ![]() For example, when she Tag In or she is on the 2nd slot or 3rd (with Meter ready thanks to Ritual Sacrifice), you just immediately spam any Sekhmet on your enemy. ![]() Why Eliza so satisfying to use? Because of how her Sekhmet works with her endless combo. Why? The way it built, gives her enough Meter Gain to essentially cause an endless combo. Personally, from the player perspective, I found Ritual Sacrifice is more useful for Eliza. It is not like asking which MA for Doublicious, which the answer is always Chaos. Second, Eliza MA is pretty much "personal" you know.

All you need is to import the picture to the program, choose the genre of the photo from the Workspaces list and then the plug-in will select the settings for the picture processing. Firstly, I was skeptical about this function since you can’t control the photo editing process. I can’t but mention auto batch photo editing capability in my Luminar Flex review. That means you don’t need to waste time searching for the necessary filters. By clicking on the suitable photography genre, Flex will automatically select the tools to enhance your shot. The available Workspaces include Drone & Aerial, Film Lab, Expert, Black & White, Image Aware, Intensify, Relight, Color, and Portrait. Skylum has released a new Workspaces set specifically for Flex users. They contain a collection of filters for various types of photos. My Luminar Flex plugin review would be incomplete if I didn’t mention the Workspaces. Skylum recommends Luminar Flex to photographers who want to access Luminar features within one program without necessity to swap to the full Luminar version. This plug-in also supports smart objects in Photoshop, so it is rather difficult to compare Luminar vs Photoshop in this regard. Thus, you can apply filters to layers as well as filters and textures to blending modes. Lightroom users can take advantage of using layers and blending modes. Luminar Flex functions smoothly in Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Lightroom Classic, Affinity Photo, and Photos on Mac OS. ![]() On the right, you can see the basic tools for color correction as well as a list of all filters and tools. At the bottom of the window, there is a set of Looks (an alternative to Lightroom presets). Even if you are a total newbie, you can master the interface in a few minutes. If you used Luminar at least once, then it will be easy for you to cope with Flex editing since everything works the same as in the full version. Like Luminar 3, Luminar Flex offers several AI-powered features, including Accent AI, AI Sky Enhancer, Looks, Foliage Enhancer, Details Enhancer and others. This plug-in allows photographers to use the capabilities of Luminar when working with third-party programs. Skylum released Luminar Flex in April 2019. Unlike the full version of Luminar, Flex doesn’t offer the same level of editing details, but you will definitely like the smooth and efficient photo editing process this plug-in ensures. It is possible to customize the filters and edits if necessary. Luminar Flex features advanced controls that are easy to use. The photo Flex editor plugin allows you to automatically enhance images and apply first-class filters. If you want to considerably simplify your photo editing workflow, then this plugin will be a smart choice. VERDICT: Luminar Flex is a cool plug-in that is compatible with Lightroom, Affinity Photos, Photoshop Elements and Apple Photos. Slow performance when photo retouching option is enabled. ![]() The sheer level of hyperbole I've seen around this update, it's insane. But I'm increasingly sick of the outrage here. ![]() A cursory glance at the search results for "podcast player" on the stores will give you dozens if not hundreds of options. Or, and here's the biggest key, go get a different app. But for god sakes, don't treat them like they just rolled out lockboxes and in-app purchases and won't play more than 30 second clips without buying a subscription or something ridiculous. Have they made some errors here? Probably. (Maybe twice if you got the web app or switched phone platforms.) To somehow believe that your four dollars is still being spent however many years later and therefore you are entitled for things to never change is just the height of ego. But to treat Pocket Casts as if they betrayed you, as if they've committed war crimes, the sheer level of hyperbole I've seen around this update, it's insane. It looks like there are more than a few users for whom that is the case. That happens to literally every software development shop ever.ĭid they move your cheese? Certainly. They've rebuilt the app from the ground up and sometimes that means old features don't make it in to the new version or don't make it in time for launch day. Pocket Casts is still regardless of the changes made the best podcast app on the Play Store. I'll take my downvotes, but I don't get the hate here. Maybe it's time to start building it up again? You spent years building up good will, and spent it literally overnight. Doesn't seem like the road you want to go down, but listen to the people complaining, and look at your reviews on the app stores. You might even consider apologizing to your users. So Pocket Casts team, given that you've taken away features that we paid for and dumped this work in our laps, can we at least get a candid explanation? What were you thinking? For others, it's migrating to a new app completely. For some people, that's just figuring out the new, unintuitive interface. Doing it an update that adds no useful features and brags about listening to feedback is borderline insulting. ![]() Obviously people used playlists and obviously people sorted their feeds, so removing those features is baffling. Does that mean that when I dig through my old podcasts, the episodes I'd saved will be deleted from my phone? If so, that's a huge problem for me.Įven if not, this downgrade sucks. I've been reading comments here that suggest that PC now deletes files if the feed is removed. That last point particularly concerns me. I'm a writer, and some of the people I write about have short-lived but interesting podcasts I've saved lots of old episodes to use as sources. Some of them are just for fun, like years-old episodes of HDTGM I'm planning to listen to once I see the movie they're talking about, and some are for research. ![]() Personally, I'm particularly annoyed that I can't sort by played and unplayed episodes-hardly the biggest issue, but one that aggravates me because I have many old episodes queued up. Why did you degrade the app? Why did you not notify users or ask them before removing features we paid for? Is Pocket Casts now deleting users' files without asking permission? The Pocket Casts team doesn't seem to have listened to beta feedback on these issues, and I don't see any indication from the team's responses here or on Twitter that they care about these complaints, but it doesn't hurt to ask. Version 7.0 is a significant downgrade, removing features that users paid for and relied on. ![]() Want more essential iOS app reviews? Check out our ongoing series, 50 Essential iOS Apps.

My perspective may be skewed because in my current role I don’t write production service code, but I do affect features, design, and positioning of the services. Even for small ideas, features, or iterations the first thing you will likely need is a document. While documents can create a more level playing field it’s also a high barrier to entry. If there’s no document, we cancel the meeting. I’ve been told “if there’s no document, it doesn’t get done.” This includes meetings. Even with that background, my first one-pager review was intimidating. ![]() I’m very thankful for my years of practice writing for How-To GeekĪnd Cloud Native Infrastructure. Amazon has a lot of internal training to help you write good Amazon documents, but even with training it still requires a good foundation. The first I have noticed is if you’re not a very good writer you will be at a disadvantage communicating your ideas. There are some limitations to document based meetings. Document reading from home has been a great way to get 10-20 minutes of exercise in.If a document is provided early and I have a conflict at the begining of the meeting I can read the document ahead of time and join the meeting 10-20 minutes late without missing anything.If more discussion is needed then the document will be revised and a new meeting will be scheduled to read and discuss it. Feedback and discussions happen during the meeting. You are not expected to retain document information outside of the meeting.Want to see what the PR/FAQ looked like for Amazon EKS or AWS Lambda?

I’ve worked at plenty of places that I’ve tried to document everything for a meeting ahead of time. Reading the doc is part of the scheduled time. ![]() If the meeting has a long document (six-pagers are the longest) and many attendees, the meeting will be scheduled for enough time to read and discuss. Depending on the length of the document, we’ll read anywhere from ten minutes to half an hour. The interesting part to me isn’t in the format of the document, but how it is used. If I’m catching up on a new service or feature launch, I will find the document rather than emailing or calling the product manager. Reading documents is so ingrained in our culture and process that our scheduling tools have check boxes to automatically create a document. The document adapts to fit the audience and purpose of the meeting. Most of the time, if there isn’t a doc there isn’t a meeting.ĭepending on the meeting, the document could be a six-pager, a PR/FAQ, a one-pager about an idea, a narrative to help find a solution to a problem, or even a service review full of charts, graphs and bullet points.

I’ve been wanting to write this blog post for a while and Jaana’s tweet finally gave me the inspiration to share my thoughts. I also have identified some areas for improvement if you are looking to adopt document-based meetings for your workplace. A lot has been written about the six-pager and PR/FAQ so I’m not going focus on document formats, but I wanted to share how our process benefits from document-based meetings. In my time at Amazon, I’ve observed the way we use documents is incredibly unique. |
