12/28/2023 0 Comments Rail rush game online play![]() The open world came off more as filler to pad the game's overall runtime thanks to constantly respawning enemies, uninspired boss fights, and collectibles that didn't always feel like they were worth the effort needed to find them.Įven though the Call of Duty franchise continues to be a cash cow for Activision, Modern Warfare 3 really stumbled more than usual at launch. Many players also grew tired of the open-world segments set between the more focused dungeon-style levels. In addition, the protagonist Major Sergey "P-3" Nechayev wasn't received particularly well, commonly leaning on curse words or clichéd dialogue that is typically delivered at odd or out-of-place times during the story. Worse yet, the Xbox version of Atomic Heart suffered from technical and performance issues related to its framerate as well as a variety of general gameplay bugs. While the premise may be interesting, most players and critics agreed that it didn't reach the heights of BioShock, as combat and progression systems ultimately felt underwhelming when compared to other games in the genre.

12/28/2023 0 Comments Darkroom skate![]() ![]() I’m not really trying to solve the world’s problems. Mostly I try to make it all a little bit tongue-in-cheek. So you’re speaking to them but you’re also using it to work through these feelings yourself. Not like a giant support group for people that are dysfunctional, but more like for people that recognize that in this day and age when people are trying to be super social-almost like it’s their job-there’s also a part of culture where people just want to stay hidden, and out of the way. I hope there are other people that can see it and connect to it on some level, too. It gives you some control over it to minimize it in some way. Whether it’s something that I think is just kind of entertaining, or something that has been almost crippling with anxiety, it’s easy to filter it through art and design. I think a lot of the things that I play around with are issues that I’ve dealt with. I’m really curious about some of the themes in the recent DARKROOM stuff, like the accessories that say “Dysphoria” and “Agoraphobia”: Is that stuff that you’ve dealt with personally? If something doesn’t look like it fits into what I’ve done with the rest of the company, I think that’s okay… it doesn’t bother me too much. ![]() And, with DARKROOM, building it from scratch just gives me a lot more freedom to just play around. So I was just kinda helping to build something that they already started. Because with Alien, they were in business for 8 years before I got they’d been around since 1990 and I got there in 1998. Like I said, I feel like I can play around a lot more without having to stick within the lines of an identity that’s already existed. I’m hoping that the way the average skateboard company looks now is so much different from DARKROOM that it makes DARKROOM stand out a little bit, you know?ĭo you have any different inspirations for your art now with DARKROOM? I think my approach is still the same but the rest of skateboarding culture and artwork has changed so much that it’s all in context and perspective with what else is around it. What are some elements of your art that have evolved since the Alien days? There’s a certain look that I wanted to keep when I was doing their stuff, and with DARKROOM I can play around and not worry about the identity too much. My style has developed a little bit and I think DARKROOM gives me the freedom to expand that a lot more than I could with Alien. But I don’t think the artwork is too similar compared to what I was doing-it’s been, like, 12 years since I’ve worked with them. I know people are gonna always have that connection with me and Alien. I definitely see how nostalgia is such a big part of skateboarding right now, but I think my art’s changed a little bit. Do you think it might be perfect timing for a nostalgia trip? Yeah, it’s pretty crazy that when most skaters look at your art the immediate recognition is Alien Workshop. I’ve worked for so many other companies, and I just want to build something that I can keep around this time. I think I got to a certain point where I wanted something for myself. This time around, I’ve put a lot more thought into building it up and working on the distribution and the business side of it. It was just for fun the last two times, kinda to keep me busy between freelance projects so I could keep one foot in skateboarding. What’s different about this third iteration of DARKROOM? We’ve got griptape, T-shirts, jackets, gloves, and watches… a little bit of everything. What types of accessories are coming out? This is the first time I’ve done DARKROOM with a real business structure, with distribution and all that. I started it again in 2012, and we were doing boards and accessories. I was just doing T-shirts and accessories and then I got busy with other projects, so I just let it go. It started out as a project when I was working for Alien Workshop, back in 2006. Working with Mike Sinclair and State Footwear’s Kevin Furtado, this newish venture is driven completely by Pendleton’s creativity. His brand officially launched in October 2018 and it has something for everybody, but is still 100% Pendleton. His distinctive work is highly sought after ( Pendleton lists dozens of brands, ranging from Heroin and Zero to the bands Phish and Pearl Jam, on his design resume) and, because it is so closely associated with Alien Workshop and Element, screams “skate culture” to the discerning consumer.Īfter accumulating such an extensive portfolio Pendleton is now set on a whole new adventure: his company DARKROOM. Don Pendleton has, over the course of 20 years, become one of skateboarding’s most accomplished artists. 12/28/2023 0 Comments Stronghold kingdoms village teir![]() Villages - Players may now access up to 40 villages.Stock Exchanges - All stock exchanges will be cleared of their resources and prices reset.The first faction to apply is accepted automatically, all other factions must be voted in.

In most cases, EXS24 will open up with no sound loaded in the form of a basic sine wave-like sound. Open a new Software Instrument track (option + command + N) and then load up an EXS24 from the Input section of the channel strip.Ģ. While you do not need to do this if you are using the above “SAMPLES” folder method, it is always a good idea (necessary) if you’re planning on opening that session on other computers (that don’t have access to your master “SAMPLES” folder).ġ. Note: When saving our LPX sessions, Logic always gives an option to copy the “EXS instruments and samples” used in that particular project to its session folder. Hit us up in the comments below if you need a hand with anything like this). Remember, in order to have it so that all of the sampler instruments you create are always accessible to you in all your projects, DO NOT move or rename the “SAMPLES” folder after the fact, otherwise you’ll end up with some messy reassignment tasks (not the end of the world, but super annoying. Before starting to create your first sampler instruments it is always a good idea to create a dedicated “SAMPLES” folder that you will use to store all of you samples ( instrument sample folders). Every EXS24 sampler instrument is made up of two things: a (.exs) sampler instrument file and an accompanying instrument sample folder containing the samples (audio) it is made up of. But first, we have a few administrative tasks to talk about: Sample Management: Today we will take a look at how to create our own custom instruments, what we can do process them on EXS24 after the fact and some of the various parameters and options that control the way EXS24 handles your audio files. Not only can we tweak and access those preset library instruments, but we can also load up audio clips of any kind to create our own instruments, whether it be clips of already existing songs in your iTunes library, samples you dug up online or bits of tracks you previously created on your own. This is a technique that has been used in music production off all kinds for some 50 years in one way or other, and made extremely popular in electronic based music production with the Akai MPC hardware samplers.įortunately for us, EXS24 is packed inside of LPX for free, along with the massive sampler library that we mentioned earlier. It uses audio files (just like those you find on your computer) and organizes them in such a way that we can trigger and sequence them with our MIDI keyboards inside of LPX (or any other DAW for that matter). We will also be covering some alternate options for doing so that more experienced users may find helpful:įor those who may not know, EXS24 is indeed a virtual sampler instrument. For those just getting into Logic for the first time, EXS’s true potential can be somewhat hidden behind the wealth of instruments you’ll find in your library after installation, so we thought a rundown of how to create custom instruments and its additional features was in order. Not only does EXS24 come with hundreds of GBs of samples and the instruments they are made up of inside LPX (for free), but it can also be used to create our very own sampler instruments. A mainstay since, well, almost forever, the EXS24 sampler may seem basic and over-looked simply by virtue of being around for so long, but it might be one of LPX’s most useful musical instruments. So stop looking for the EXS or trying to install something, that's not how it works.In this week’s episode of The Logic Pros, we are taking a look at one of Logic’s most prized possessions. It loads completely all EXS24 sampler instruments. And once again, the EXS24 has been completely replaced by "Sampler", which is essentially the same thing, but with a more accessible interface and more tools, and yes, is part of Logic and cannot be removed. "Sampler" will be in your instrument plugin list if you have 10.5.x. ![]() That folder could just as easily have been named "Cool sounds for the Quick Sampler". There's a difference between, eg, the plugin called "Quick Sampler", and a folder in your Library, named "Quick Sampler" in the library, that contains patches you can load into the Quick Sampler. Clicking on those patches directly will load the Quick Sampler plugin, and the samples and settings used for that sound. ![]() ![]() Choose "Sampler", and now the Library will show you the various saved patches for that instrument that you can load with it. The instrument slot shows "Instrument Plugins'. The Logic library contains a wealth of content that you can generally load directly by clicking, as patches also load the plugins (instrument and effects plugins) that the patch requires. The Library shows installed patches, settings, channel strip settings, organised by folders. Hydration Multiplier is rooted in a medical therapy developed by the World Health Organization called oral rehydration salts. According to Liquid I.V., one packet of Hydration Multiplier powder is equivalent to drinking three bottles of water because of something called Cellular Transport Technology - I don't necessarily doubt the claim, but take it with a grain of salt.

There are trade-offs to consider, too: Should I drink the one with sugar to stay all-natural? Or should I opt for the one with sucralose to keep calories down? There are just so many, and they all claim to do different things. Smaller beverage companies and startups have started taking over the market with niche sports drinks targeted at specific activities and different types of exercisers, like runners or CrossFit enthusiasts.Įven as a certified personal trainer with plenty of sports nutrition education, I've always found sports drinks hard to figure out. ![]() Nowadays, there are plenty of options for you to choose from. But these are no longer the only sports drink brands. When you think of sports drinks, Gatorade and Powerade may be the first brands that come to mind. 12/28/2023 0 Comments S block![]() This is due to the presence of the loosely held valence electron which can easily be removed. The s-block elements are good conductors of heat and electricity. This is because of the increase in atomic size and increasing ease with which an electron can be removed from the outermost shell. The reactivity of s-block elements increases down the group. Therefore, they can form mono-positive and dipositive cations. These electrons can be easily removed due to the low value of ionization potential. The s-block elements contain one or two electrons in their outermost shell. The melting and boiling points of alkaline earth metal are shown below: ![]() The melting and boiling points of alkali metals are shown below: Similarly, their melting and boiling points decrease down the group due to an increase in size. The s-block elements have low melting and boiling points due to their large sizes.

PriceĪ manual toothbrush from your local CVS will run you $4 smart electric toothbrushes can cost between $50 and $400 - quite the price jump. Some brushes even have tiny, built-in screens that can give you a lot of the same info as an app, such as mode selection, timer duration and simple session assessments, so you don’t have to keep your phone beside you. The brushes use that info to warn you if you’re pushing too hard, moving too fast or missing certain areas, with feedback in the form of lights, vibrations or in-app communication. Most of these electric toothbrushes have batteries that last a few weeks on a charge, or in the case of the non-rechargeable Quip, a few months on a set of disposable cells.Īdvanced brushes, usually ones that cost more than $200, also include internal sensors that can detect the orientation of the brush in your mouth as well as the movement and pressure you apply. All the handles emit haptic shakes and pauses to tell you to move to another section of teeth and when your session is done. Whether they’re round or rectangular, all the brush heads vibrate, producing tens of thousands of movements per minute. Photo by Amy Skorheim / Engadget Brush mechanics To use that you don’t even need the app though, as all smart brushes include a timer in the brush itself. My impulse is to put down the brush after about 45 seconds, which is nowhere near the ideal time. The timer feature is what ultimately helped me brush better.

While the apps’ simple progress tracking is great, the added goals and awards lost their power to motivate me after a few weeks. Stopping to go find my phone just added another step, and I’d always end up sucked into the new notification abyss before I’d remember, oh yeah, I was going to brush my teeth. The ADA recommends getting new bristles every three or four months and I, for one, am terrible at remembering to do that.Īt first, I liked brushing along with the apps that were capable of visualizing my movements, but the novelty wore off after a week or so. The apps also make it easy to auto-ship brush heads, which could help ensure you replace them more regularly. ![]() I found it satisfying to see a long string of properly executed morning and night brushing sessions, like I had hit some sort of personal milestone. Most people will probably get the most out of the visualization offered by the tracking and history features. Teledentistry is even part of the Quip app’s repertoire. Other apps grant real-life rewards, such as gift cards, for keeping up consistent habits. More advanced devices let you adjust the settings and modes within the app and also guide you through brushing sessions with real-time feedback on where the brush is in your mouth. Most apps also let you set goals, access tips on better habits and reorder brush heads directly from the manufacturer. The apps present historical data in graphs, calendars and other easy-to-digest visualizations.
