![]() ![]() I get turned into a girl and I don't even get to keep my hair as a consolation prize. The curly hair I prided myself on having? ![]() Now several shades lighter than it had been, and worst of all? I reached out to hold it in front of my face. There was no stubble, my checks felt rounder. There was no doubt in my mind that my face was different too. ![]() My hands were different, my arms were different, my legs were different, and even my chest was different. Even if someone started searching for me, I had no real way to prove that I was me. Then there was the whole mess of my body. Meaning nobody would know I'd been, well, kidnapped for at least a few days. I lived by myself, so my parents might not notice my absence for a while. It was a Saturday morning, meaning I wasn't going to be noticed until at least Monday, and even then, I doubt a search party would be sent out for me. I was who knows where, and it would honestly take days for anyone to notice I was gone. I spread out my arms, going for sitting to laying down on the grass, doing everything in my power to stop myself from crying. If this is a dream, then that didn't wake me up, and I wasn't going to try and hit myself harder. "Ow!" I shouted as I slapped myself across the face. This had to be a dream, and I'm waking myself up, now! That feel from the land of improbable into the land of pure fantasy. Being turned into a girl as part of the process? I didn't check my chest, in part to the two larger issues that were dominant on that front.Īlright, being taken out of my house by some type of nutcase and stranded in the woods wasn't exactly reasonable, but certainly within the world of extreme improbability. I ran them up my arms, feeling a lack of hair. They'd never been big, to begin with, but they seemed even smaller now. I let myself sit down, taking a look at my hands. Okay, what! Just what! Why? How? This is bull! Bull! Still, I pulled up the plush dinosaur to my chest, giving it a tight squeeze. Okay, it wasn't bad per se, but it certainly wasn't useful. Was it a trap? And if it was, did it matter? Food, bottled water, literally anything that could be useful right now. Seriously, who just kidnaps someone to only leave them stranded in the wilderness? How did I not notice it until now!īut there was nobody in sight. I bolted upright, looking around wildly for any sign of anyone, anything. Instead of my room, my bed, and my computer, I was instead met with trees and grass. My brain, which had been struggling to get back to sleep, lept into high gear. I wanted to sleep in during the weekend and. My body knew this, of course, but didn't stop screaming that it was time to get up and move. If the alarm clock hasn't gone off yet, then it isn't time to wake up. Light tried to worm its way through my closed eyelids, almost as if it were assaulting me. ![]()

![]() Tiles proves that you don't need a leaderboard, countdown clock, or levels to make a great puzzle game. Really, though, there is no need to over-complicate things. I expect that, as users flock to the game, Tiles will add additional patterns for enthusiasts to get stumped by. Only Hong Kong (the blue and white pattern above) is without the distraction of different colors, although its dizzying lines make it a beast when you get on too quick of a roll. Certain patterns can "hide" beneath other elements, and optical illusions in modes like "Austin" and "New Haven" (a different tileset is available each day for free, or you can toggle between them if have a subscription) can trip you up if you get going too fast. Tiles keeps you hooked by being just hard enough to never feel truly easy. I've taken to keeping a game perpetually open in a tab to revisit during my downtime, rather than using stray moments to scroll through Twitter or make another vending machine run. I've found that when I pause during my day to play Tiles - perhaps after getting stuck on work, or while waiting for a reply to a Slack message - a few rounds get the juices flowing again. The game, in that way, is especially conducive to sparking creativity, the same way a shower might, supplying a winning combination of relaxation, distraction, and dopamine. You start to find yourself plotting several moves ahead in order to get a lower score. The more you become obsessed with Tiles, though, the more intense its chess-like qualities become. After further exploration, I began to see the patterns, piecing together - albeit rather clumsily - what the game wanted me to do with the mess it had provided. After some unstrategic clicking around the five-by-six board, I noticed I'd start to rack up a "current combo," while other times I'd be informed I'd done something wrong by a stern, sans-serif "no match" and my combo being reset to zero. In my excitement to play after seeing rave reviews on Twitter, I completely (and accidentally) blew past the tab that explained the rules. The Times' television critic and Tiles proselytizer Margaret Lyons reports that the lowest achievable combo is theoretically 15, although that would require every tile to be an exact match - unlikely, since the pattern shuffles are randomized.Īt risk of saying too much, though, let me add that Tiles is best enjoyed by embracing its learning curve. On the surface, Tiles is a simple matching game in which you try to get the shortest "combo" possible while still achieving a "perfect game," which requires never breaking a matching streak. (Although Tiles doesn't have a stand-alone app, it can easily be played in a browser window on a computer or phone, and it's free even if you aren't a subscriber.) Still, the launch is noteworthy in part because it is the Times' first original game that doesn't involve words. Unless you happen to frequent The New York Times' crossword puzzle page, you might have missed the rollout of Tiles earlier this week. Indeed, even though the WordleBot-recommended SLATE has the same letters as SALET, the latter performed 1% better in Paskov's testing.įor those curious to see SALET in action, Paskov and Bertsimas created a website where players can tell the AI which tiles their first guess uncovered and have the algorithm give them the statistically strongest words to guess next.(Screenshot of Tiles | The New York Times) "At the end of the day, what that means is that you will win the game in fewer average guesses than AUDIO." "If you can think of it in an abstract way, this word gives you the most possible information as a first guess," Paskov says. ![]() On average, the algorithm solved Wordle's puzzles in 3.421 guesses when starting with SALET. The reason SALET is a more optimal guess than fan favorites like ADIEU and AUDIO is because, on average, it helps narrow down the possible answers in Wordle's word bank the fastest. "So to determine how to best play the game, our system starts cutting away very intelligently and aggressively at this web until at the end of the day, you're left with just the best thing to do in every situation." "If you can imagine a web of all possibilities that can happen in the game, what guesses you can make and what happens after those guesses and so on, that is an unimaginably large set of possibilities," he said. ![]() ![]() ![]() Repeated Fear included ten extra chapters, each unlocked after fulfilling certain endings and requirements throughout the five main story chapters. These are non-playable, text-based story chapters that detail events outside of the main story and give background, not just to Naomi and her friends lives before being sucked into the Closed Spaces, but also the other lost children that have been trapped there over the years. Other content that’s we’ve been short-changed on are the extra chapters. It’s not like the story has changed significantly, more or less everything from Repeated Fear is still here, but now we’re only given the (hideous) in-game sprites at best, regular old gameplay with text at worst. They’re great scenes and can give a close-up and detailed look at some of Corpse Party‘s most gruesome moments, effectively driving the tension home (especially with a few lost souls who can’t quite handle the horror and become monsters themselves). Anything from a quiet moment between Seiko and Naomi in Heavenly Host’s infirmary to a horrifying reveal of some of the Closed Space’s ghostly inhabitants. While the game has no cut-scenes in the traditional sense, Repeated Fear had full-screen artwork showing some of the most important moments in the story. Along with this, Blood Covered PC doesn’t feature scene artwork either. If it was just fan art, that’d be fine, great even, but as what we’re supposed to relate to throughout the adventure, it feels bizarre. I may just be used to the sprites from the PSP version, but these look shockingly unprofessional, reminding me more of something I’d see on a fan forum. While Repeated Fear‘s sprites were detailed and lively, with anime quality to their look, these are frankly hideous. ![]() It’s weird, and it kept making me feel like maybe I was doing something wrong.Īnother difference between the Repeated Fear remake and this, are the character sprites. Most of the major plot moments are, but occasionally characters will speak entirely in text, then suddenly have a line or two voiced, and then it’s right back to text-only. Only some of the text dialogue features VO, and what does seems to be totally random. While the voice acting is still good, it’s sparse and infrequent. While this version still retains the same amazing music and the main story, it’s hard not feel jarred by the sudden drop in quality for some of the other elements. Repeated Fear brought anime quality sprites for each of the characters, full voice acting and a bevy of additional episodes that expand the story outside of the main adventure. I find myself somewhat bewildered that this is the version that was brought to Steam over Repeated Fear, considering what a vast improvement that game was. But this is far from the best version of this title. Let me cut to the chase here Corpse Party is an excellent game, and if you’ve never played it before I cannot recommend it enough. My first experience with this game was the US release of the PSP remake Corpse Party Blood Covered: Repeated Fear, which came after this version – the first official release from back in 2008, which at the time featured many improvements over the original 1996 RPG Maker game, including voice performances from professional Japanese actors, new character sprites and an expanded story. Naomi, Seiko, Ayumi, Satoshi, Satoshi’s little sister Yuka and more find themselves sucked into the Closed Spaces, where things go from bad to worse, to terrible, to unforgivable. Released for the first time in the West on PC (US only I’m afraid), Corpse Party: Blood Covered takes us back to the very beginning of the Heavenly Host trilogy. ![]() Riddled with blood, gore, and the rotting carcasses of other students who became trapped within these hallowed walls, it’s incredible how powerful the fear this game can create, and I’m not ashamed to say that this game has given me panic attacks before. Unfolding in a top-down perspective, we explore the multi-dimensional Closed Spaces: a nightmarish series of never ending corridors that have taken the form of Heavenly Host Elementary School, which was the site of a terrible tragedy years ago. Corpse Party contains some of the most horrific moments I’ve ever experienced in not only video games but films and novels as well. Despite cutesy chibi-style visuals and a cast of students ranging from High School to Elementary age, don’t be fooled. If you’re unfamiliar with Corpse Party, you’re missing out. How many times have I– we, walked the halls of the Closed Spaces? It’s beginning to feel as if we’re all trapped there, just like Naomi and her friends. ![]() ![]() ![]() In fact, most of the time, instead of a transcript, you’re better off jotting down 10 bullet points from what happened in a meeting. Transcripts are clunky and often boring, and are only useful if you’re willing to skim past all the unnecessary information to find the meat. Meeting transcripts are somewhat similar, in that they don’t replace meeting notes across the board. Go find a book by John Grisham or Chris Pavone. ![]() If you want to read an exciting legal thriller, don’t go read court transcripts. Have you ever read the transcript from a big trial?Įven for the most famous, most interesting court cases, the transcriptions aren’t nearly as compelling as what actually transpired. A transcription isn’t a nicely-formatted set of notes taken by a human scribe. This is because transcribing calls isn’t a challenge that exists in a vacuum. Some of these apps do more than simply transcribe meeting audio, which is why they call themselves things like “Conversation intelligence platform” and tout benefits like Sales Coaching. What are the top apps for meeting transcription?īased on rankings and reviews on G2, Capterra, and in the media, the top meeting transcription platforms are: At worst, bad transcription software is worse than useless, putting out thousands of words of transcription that will never be put to use and only clog up your work tools.įor the research behind this article, I put the top four meeting transcription apps to the test, comparing features, pricing, and the quality of the transcription. I am the only one speaking, and I never interrupt myself or make any background noise.Ĭan meeting transcription software handle poor quality audio, with multiple speakers who sometimes interrupt each other? What about the background noise: the sirens, the door closes, the chair scoots, and all the other extra noise you get in a meeting?Īt best, inaccurate transcription yields frustrating meeting notes that are hard to skim or understand. Right now, I’m in a quiet office, speaking clearly, about eight inches from a quality Blue Yeti microphone to record the words you’re reading. Speech-to-text technology for audio dictation has come a long way, but meeting and call transcription is a wholly more complex problem than dictating a blog post. Let the AI take meeting notes for you.īut how does meeting transcription work in reality? Is it really better than taking meeting notes by hand? Does AI call transcription live up to the hype? It’s a seductive value proposition: focus on the conversation, on the people at the meeting. Instead of taking meeting notes by hand, transcription offers a handy (and hands-free) alternative. That kind of speed and efficiency are exactly why many professionals turn to meeting transcription software and apps to do their note-taking in meetings. Despite typing 90+ words per minute, voice typing is still faster. ![]() ![]() I’ve charted my typing speed versus dictation by tracking word counts over 50+ writing sessions. Why am I transcribing audio instead of typing? I write almost 50% faster by voice than by finger. Siri, ever dutiful, transcribes my words and punctuation just as quickly as I speak them, and with few errors. There’s no question that we’re living in a golden age of audio transcription.Įven as I write this article, I’m not even typing. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It is the only official United Kingdom coin to commemorate the occasion.
