![]() My preference in gaming over the last few years has been decidedly towards strategy, and turn-based strategy in particular. Return to Castle Wolfenstein has aged as gracefully as possible. Playing any old game means that you have to deal with previous decades’ cutting edges, and often that’s an unpleasant or unplayable experience. Yes, they’re blocky and crude, but everything is clear enough that you can understand it, and the art style consistently creates immersive locations and atmospheres. The graphics are outdated now, but not to the point of ruining the game. Yes, suspension of disbelief/subtlety is required, but it’s definitely always exciting. Of particular note are the locations, which come in three flavours: standard military, opulent mansions, and endless catacombs beneath the surface of the earth. Your opponents range from normal soldiers through fetish-wear female commandos and ancient zombies to cybernetic knights and sludge demons. Everywhere you go is decorated with skulls, because that’s apparently what happens spontaneously to any area that Nazis frequent. Return to Castle Wolfenstein is over-the-top in the best way. I will read/watch/play anything that involves secret research bases, over-the-top weaponry, meddling with the occult, and overly-dramatic speeches. ![]() That pulpy, b-movie style and concept is something I adore. The modern fashion in games is to point out the moral greys, and it’s nice occasionally to play something that has a simpler moral code. Perhaps more importantly, their utter and unrepentant evil means that you can oppose them without guilt. There’s a lot to like about Return to Castle Wolfenstein, but one of the main things is definitely the moral landscape. Occult Nazis are frequent game antagonists because they fulfill that role very well for one thing, their particular blend of technological and supernatural interests means that it’s possible to justify the most ridiculous settings and mechanics without losing the willing suspension of disbelief. The games all follow the same essential plot (fight Nazis, discover the dark secret of their latest research, fight super-powered Nazis), and so continuity is generally less of an issue, at least in the early games. I don’t normally like starting several steps into a series, but I was content to make an exception here. The war in question, of course, is WWII, and Blazkowicz is tasked with uncovering exactly what dark and evil plans General Deathshead is concocting in his various secret bases. It’s always nice when American games allow other country’s to have a visible role in the war. Blazkowicz, an American special operative under the command of a joint British/American agency. Not having played the series before, I went back to the first one that could be described as vaguely modern: Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Occult Nazis have a long and storied history as enemies in video games, and the Wolfenstein series is definitely at the forefront of that. Naturally, I have gravitated towards media involving occult Nazis. Lately, I have been feeling nostalgic and desirous of black-and-white morality.

![]() For this reason they have the fastest lumberjacks in the game. Barbarians: A tribe that is located in the north.They are Barbarians, the Empire, the Atlanteans, the Frisians, and the Amazons. Widelands is extensible, so that players may create their own tribes. It is also possible to conquer enemy territory by sending soldiers into enemy military buildings to fight.Ī small Atlantean settlement, early in the game Tribes Ĭurrently, there are five tribes that players can play as. The bigger the military building is, the more territory it will control. Once they're used up, they're gone forever.Įxpansion of territory is done by the construction of military buildings and filling them with soldiers. However, some resources are of limited quantity. Some resources in Widelands are renewable, but require specific workers (such as rangers or foresters) to ensure that these resources don't disappear. A well optimized road system keeps goods moving, which means people can train and equip troops faster. One of the most important aspects of Widelands is the road system. The economy network of each tribe may be downloaded from the Widelands Encyclopaedia. The economic network is big and complex, and varies slightly in the different playable tribes in the game. The object of Widelands is to build the economic infrastructure, and manage the construction of roads in order to expand the settlement and go to war. The player is effectively a regent of a small clan of settlers, which start out only with a headquarters with resources. Widelands was heavily inspired by Settlers II, but has surpassed it in terms of variety and complexity, whilst remaining rather intuitive. ![]() When sharing small pastes with fellow small users, they'll be able to one click import your script into their editor via a "open in small" button on smallpaste.You can upload scripts of any length with one click to !.Its small enough to launch in under a second, but powerful enough to syntax highlight nearly 50 languages and. ![]() Login with GitHub and share any scripts as GitHub Gists! small is an ultra-lightweight code editor.With more than 1100 active students, the Syntra network consists of five training centers and 22. we accept customized orders with smaller scope to encourage customer's.

Has It Been More Than One Year Since Your Last Inspection? Regardless of the reason for the high indoor humidity, it’s a good idea to get a crawl space repair expert to make sure the vapor barrier isn’t the issue. However, it typically won’t happen at a rate that’s higher than the outside humidity if you have effective crawl space encapsulation. High indoor humidity can happen if you have an effective water vapor barrier. If you have a vapor barrier in your crawl space, but you’re still dealing with high indoor humidity, at least one thing is true: either the vapor barrier is not effective or there’s another entrance for water in your crawl space somewhere, likely in the walls. This is perhaps the most telling sign you’re dealing with a vapor barrier issue. Do You Still Have a Problem with High Indoor Humidity? However, that just means it’s easier for you to see if your vapor barrier is broken in some way or another because you’ll note these recesses of water. The plastic may form small pockets that are easy for water to collect in. Water vapor barriers can form a great place for water to collect if it’s not working properly. That inherently means your vapor barrier isn’t working properly because it’s not keeping water out. If you can see physical puddles of water, it means there’s some kind of issue with the vapor barrier that’s permitting water to collect. Next, ask whether you can see any puddles of water on the vapor barrier. Keep asking questions to see whether you’re having any other crawl space vapor barrier problems. Even if you don’t see any tears in the barrier, it’s possible that there are tears you simply can’t see. Water and air will find its way through any crack, no matter how slim. If you see any tears in the barrier, the barrier is obviously no longer working. Though it’s the minimum requirement, you should never choose a 6-mil vapor barrier. This is especially common in very thin vapor barriers, like the required minimum 6-mil vapor barrier, because it can tear as easily as a plastic bag in many cases. The first question you should ask is whether you can see any tears in the crawl space vapor barrier. If your answer to any of these questions is “Yes,” you should schedule an inspection as soon as possible. There are a few questions that can quickly showcase whether you have a crawl space vapor barrier issue. Launch Traktor, if the DJM 900 is not selected as your soundcard it will probably ask if you want to switch to it, select yes. Launch the DJM 900 Nexus setting Utility and configure it like this:įeel free to adjust the USB output to your own liking Setup Player 1 on Midi Channel 1 and Player 2 on Midi Channel 2Ĭonnect the DJM 900 via USB to the Laptop Press and hold the Menu until the Utility Menu screen comes up Step 1: Ensure all firmware / Software is updated:Īnd obviously also ensure Traktor is updatedĬonnect the CDJ2000's preferably to a Powered USB Hub. It would be great if that was an option on the CDJ2000 mapping.Ĭlick to expand.As requested CDJ2000 + DJM900 for dummies It's sort of a mixture between Absolute and Relative on the S4 and has the best of both worlds. As soon as you are at the -3% with the tempo fader it will pick it up and you can smoothly change the Tempo. ![]() The nexus allows you to bring back the tempo fader from +5% to -3% without changing the Tempo. On the Nexus Pioneer has implemented this very clever. Track B is set to -3%, If your tempo fader is at the CDJ on +5% you hear because the tempo will jump straight from -3% to +5%. This means if you use Sync from track A to B and e.g. They are set to absolute and there is no way to change this. The only major drawback is the way the Tempofaders are implemented. I also have the flux mode mapped to the direction button and the reverse light indicates if flux is active.Īll this works flawless and the X1 and F1 are for the additional controls. I have mapped the autocue display on the CDJ to the SYNC mode so I can visually see when Sync is on. Most of the time I have the laptop in the corner of the booth, all the info I need can be found on the CDJ's. Advanced HID works perfectly, I can gig for 4 hours without even looking at the laptop screen. ![]() I use traktor weekly in the Club with the CDJ2000 as the Controller together with an X1 and F1. But I do not even know if you can use the 900 just as a midi controller and if this solution would suit your purpose.Īll the best Maybe you can pass this on to the engineers as an improvement. Maybe there's a way to use the DJM900 as a MIDI controller for the Traktor internal mixer and then remap the CDJs Joglight with some modifier conditions to the decks volume. So in short I have to disappoint you that this is currently quite a big deal to achieve. However, technically it's possible but may be error prone to all the various kinds of setup. Because you can setup Traktor in so many different ways and with so many different controllers, audio devices and settings it may get pretty hairy to determine exactly the users setup and how to interact on components such as controllers (CDJs) and Mixers(DJM) and their capabilities in the current setup. In order to make that happen Traktor would need this information and also correlate it with the current system "mixing mode, devices connected, which device is outputting on which channel. Currently Traktor doesn't support the DJM-900 as a controller (as the CDJs) so except for the audio part Traktor doesn't have knowledge that a DJM-900 is connected and what channel is on air and what not. Well that's a tough one and hard to explain. ![]() 112 (2): OK, do you have your phone with you, don’t you?Ī.M.: Yes, but he’s got it!

Let us fill you in. Her top tip is to always find the right shade (using the wrong one is a common mistake), and to get to know your face by studying its angles, 'applying the contour where the natural shadow falls under your cheekbone.'įrom creams to powders, there's a contour product in almost every beauty collection these days – but some are inevitably better than others. Lori Woodhouse, Education Director at Tom Ford Beauty perfectly sums up why a good contour kit makes such a big difference: 'Contouring amplifies your natural beauty and helps to enhance the bone structure, finding balance and symmetry.' Recent years might have brought a backlash over the paint-by-numbers nature of the Instagram Face, but there's still a way to contour that flatters (rather than changes) your individual features. Today, it seems no make-up bag is complete without the right contour kit to create those killer cheekbones. Contouring – the art of using light and shade to strategically shift the angles of your face – is a technique coined by the drag scene and brought into the mainstream by the likes of make-up artists Mario Dedivanovic and Charlotte Tilbury (not to mention a certain Kardashian).

And considering Terraria's lower sales number and the recent decline in like. Maybe i should've stressed that more in the original post.Īnd well, the way i see it, Hytale is basically the best of all 3 games, cranked up to 12. And this is just my opinion, but i don't think they have a very good balance in that regard and that might be dangerous to the game, but again, that's just my personal opinion. Think like, the supply/demand curve as demand increases, supply decreases, and as supply increases, demand increases, except here, as quality increases, amount decreases, and as amount decreases, quality increases. Anyway, as for how they'd affect Relogic, i guess they themselves wouldn't? However, having such (imo) lackluster ports handled by such lackluster companies that are behind schedule 24/7 is an issue to me, and another issue is there's like, a curve to describe the way updates have been handled. Everything has been behind schedule with Pipeworks since they first joined, 1.3 was subpar on consoles when it first released (though it was patched it's an issue there's been so many bugs that for a YEAR now it's just been bugfixes and no content from like, 1.3.1 or 1.3.2 or anything of the sort), and the fact we're seeing another version switch studios AGAIN should concern you.īut. I don't see how some can't see how badly the out-of-house developers have been. But i still feel like it's an issue in some cases. Oh, yeah, i can sorta understand it with 1.3.6, sure, the other updates haven't been great either though, but i suppose as the quality of the game goes up, it will take longer to develop. ![]() But i really do fear the worst for the game, and perhaps even the company.īut, what do you all think? Do you agree or think my fears are unfounded? (Because i sure hope they actually are.) I want Terraria to be successful in its own right, i've been playing it almost six years. Now, don't get the wrong idea i don't want that. really isn't much of a stretch to say that Hytale could overshadow Terraria. However, Hytale and Terraria share a demographic in creators and people who understand games well, and considering Terraria's significantly lower sales numbers than Minecraft, and the poor project managing and planning, it. I wouldn't go as far as to say Hytale has a chance at overpowering Minecraft they occupy two completely different sides of the market for these games. ![]() It maintains the fantasy aspect, exploration, and combat of Terraria at a much higher quality than even Terraria itself, whilst having the more free building and exploration of a 3D work from Minecraft, and the extreme moddability and promise of "infinite games in one" of Roblox, all to a significantly crazier extent than their source games. Hytale is literally everything that Terraria is, and then some as i've frequently put it, it's like Minecraft, Terraria and Roblox did steroids, had the craziest gang-bang imaginable, and had a lovechild that did hard drugs at the age of 7. Terraria's been going through a lot.įirst from the poor quality (in my opinion of course) of 505's ports, to the absolutely abysmal project planning and management coming from Pipeworks Studios, which resulted in the poor quality (initially) of the 1.3 ports, the cancellation of Otherworld, EVERYTHING being off-schedule by extreme amounts of time, as well as a stupidly long development time for Mobile 1.3, only for it to be ONCE AGAIN switched to another team before the team hired for it could complete even a single update! 1.X.X updates are taking as long as 1.X updates did once upon a time, the teams chosen for the ports have been poor at best and abysmal at worst, so on, so forth.Īnd especially after the announcement of Hytale, i have no hope for the future of this game anymore. Updates are taking longer and longer, development teams for ports and other versions switching left and right, poor development and management choices galore. I'm seriously afraid for the future of the game and perhaps even the company, being such a long-time player. |
