![]() ![]() Anyone know how I get steam to register them as two different controllers so that I can give them seperate control schemes? Originally posted by SKFP MyriadApoc:I bought two controllers and a link, I am currently trying to set it up so that my gf and I can co-op in rayman, but I can't seem to give the controllers different control schemes. ![]() I wish the chnagelog for the updates were a bit more detailed but hey, at least it's getting done! It shouldn't be that hard for them to do, right? Frankly, I haven't tried sonic transformed for quite a few weeks so I may have to try again, maybe they fixed it already and didn't tell anyone! In fact there are several games what were just broken before and are now fixed. I just hope that developers starts going through their back-catalogue and putting in support for the steam controller. Workable, but not preferable, and we've decided on holding off on playing until we can both use a steam controller. The fix for Rayman has been that I map my steam controller to keyboard inputs and my gf gets to use the 360 controller, but that one is wired so it's a bit of a hassle, and also the left thumb-stick gets stuck when you pull it up and to the right, so its just not preferable. Originally posted by Hubert Cumberdale:That's weird, I have two Steam Controllers and a wired 360 Controller, and I've played Sonic Transformed using all three without any problems. Sucks about Rayman though, I hate to say it but you may just be stuck using another controller for at least that one till this is sussed out. The later is absolutely what is supposed to be used and is more compatible with any Xinput device, even emulated ones like PS3/4 controllers and quite a few PC controller as well. If the game uses hardware ID though, works a treat. The SC uses very different ways of talking to the game as an Xinput so if the game uses player number for detection it is bound to fail. I dont have 2 SCs on hand though but mixing does not work with Sonic Transformed and a handful of others. I play Goat Simulator with my son, Mario Kart on Dolphin and quite a few other steam games too and mostly they seem to work. It's just when mixing SC and other Xinput devices like a 360 controller it breaks down. ![]() It makes me very sad, I want to finish Rayman Origins with my gf :( My understanding is that with more than one SC it seems to be just fine. Originally posted by Hubert Cumberdale:If the game isnt made for controllers or it is but does not detect multiple steam controllers as seperate inputs then you are pretty much screwed as far as local myltiplayer goes. ![]()

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process? ![]() “Players in Early Access will have the opportunity to purchase the retail copy of the game for less than those who purchase it on its launch day.” Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access? “Early Access will begin with the single-player story model: players will be able to play some of the first act of the game’s story and have access to romance and friendship missions as we implement them.” What is the current state of the Early Access version? If all goes well, we plan to have all of these things in good condition in the final version.” We’ll also be improving art assets, adding more music, and perhaps most importantly: testing the multiplayer mode. “During Early Access we’ll be implementing story quests for the NPCs, finishing the main questline, fleshing out the world, and generally polishing the game. How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version? Early Access will last a year to let us refine the game further and add new features and endgame content.” “For now, we aim to release the Early Access version in 2022.

Spend a bit of time at the Sandfishing area and it could be a way to gain a little bit of money in the early game. Every time you catch a fish, a notification will pop up on the screen detailing how big your fish was and how much it will sell for. Then, as you build new ones, more bait options will open up. In the beginning, you’ll likely use the Sandfish Trap that you were given. Some bait works better or worse with different fish traps.

Puzzles and purificationīut it's not just the movement that elevates The Pathless. Paired with another Austin Wintory score that's both somber and electrifying, The Pathless is equal parts calming and arresting. Trees bend in the wind, tall grass parts with your every stride, and rivers snake through the plateaus almost as fluidly as the huntress herself. Developer Giant Squid has taken the lush colors and clean lines of its previous game, Abzu, and somehow applied them to something much larger and more diverse without sacrificing any detail. Each plateau has a distinct aesthetic that evolves once you cleanse its guardian spirit, and every single one is breathtaking. This is partly thanks to the raw beauty of the environments you're running through. I have never wanted fast travel less in my life. This is the video game version of runner's high, and in the eight or so hours it took me to clear the game, it never, ever got old. I stopped obsessing over the reticle and started focusing on what was ahead of me, comfortably landing power shots all the while. Review copy of game provided by publisher.I was a bit shaky and overly careful at first, meticulously aiming and timing shots while watching the target reticle, but within an hour or two I was ripping over hills and blitzing through forests without a care in the world. While a two-year-old game won’t set the world on fire in sales I can recommend this to those folks who may have been waiting for this release on Xbox, the bright colors and almost anime-like graphics and exceptionally well-done soundtrack make for a chill and mostly rewarding experience. The Pathless is a very solid action-adventure game, one that arguably is something that Xbox lacks. She can be instructed to pick up and place items and will use other things in tandem with The Hunters bow to open new routes and solve puzzles. Pretty early in the game players will get a bird companion who will also help with puzzles. ![]() Add into that the sliding and there is a lot of joy to be found in just navigating this colorful yet cursed world. This also comes into play when it comes to solving the world’s many puzzles and even combating bosses. This enables players to chain various moves to navigate the world including ‘ninjalike’ flips. As players move through the world, they can kill the various targets which will give them more meter and dash them forward. ![]() The Hunter uses a bow and arrow for combat and has a dash for navigation, and while this is going to feel familiar as every game is doing this now, what The Pathless does different is in how its recharged. The ‘Ganon’ type force in The Pathless is voiced by Baker and is known as the Godslayer, while the game walks a similar path in story with BotW where it begins to shine on its own is in the gameplay and combat. Pretty heavy ‘Breath of the Wild’ vibes from this one, which honestly at this point what game isn’t shooting for BotW, they call it a ‘Masterpiece’ for a reason and this is coming from someone who didn’t even like it. The Pathless puts players in control of The Hunter who is voiced by Bailey, during the game she must lift a curse that is covering the island. Platforms: Xbox (reviewed), PlayStation, PC ![]() I also know that it was a 3rd person action-adventure game that was being voiced by arguably some of the best VO actors in the business (I say arguably because while I love Laura Bailey I dislike Troy Baker…but everyone else loves him.) which was enough to warrant me wanting to check it out for myself, that and it finally has arrived on Xbox. I knew I loved the art style, the very bright and vibrant colors really seem to do it for me lately, could be that I am just getting older. I didn’t know what to expect from The Pathless when I first booted it up, which is odd seeing as the game has been out for a few years now. ![]() ![]() Harnessing the energy from oxidative phosphorylation while minimizing cellular stress and damage is an eternal struggle transcending specific organ systems or species, a conflict that shaped an assortment of gas-exchange systems. While aerobic respiration is essential for efficient metabolic energy production, a prerequisite for complex organisms, cumulative cellular oxygen stress has also made senescence and death inevitable. Oxygen, a vital gas and a lethal toxin, represents a trade-off with which all organisms have had a conflicted relationship. Through the evolutionary directions and variety of gas exchangers, their shared features and individual compromises may be appreciated. We, therefore, survey the comparative anatomy and physiology of respiratory systems from invertebrates to vertebrates, water to air breathers, and terrestrial to aerial inhabitants. ![]() In an evolutionary context, certain species also become adapted to environmental conditions or habitual organismic demands. Within an organism's lifespan, the respiratory apparatus adapts in various ways to upregulate oxygen uptake in hypoxia and restrict uptake in hyperoxia. Here, we review the origin of oxygen homeostasis, a primal selection factor for all respiratory systems, which in turn function as gatekeepers of the cascade. Efficient respiratory gas exchange, coupled to downstream convective and diffusive resistances, comprise the “oxygen cascade”-step-down of PO 2 that balances supply against toxicity. Disparate systems exhibit similar directions of adaptation: toward larger diffusion interfaces, thinner barriers, finer dynamic regulation, and reduced cost of breathing. adult lungs) or simultaneous (e.g., skin, gills, and lungs in some salamanders). ![]() Habitat expansion compels the use of different gas exchangers, for example, skin, gills, tracheae, lungs, and their intermediate stages, that may coexist within the same species coexistence may be temporally disjunct (e.g., larval gills vs. Ambient oxygen tension ( PO 2) fluctuated through the ages in correlation with biodiversity and body size, enabling organisms to migrate from water to land and air and sometimes in the opposite direction. It is good to see that they have continued the progress of their game since I had an interview with them a couple years back and that their game is finally reaching its official release date for their Early Access.Life originated in anoxia, but many organisms came to depend upon oxygen for survival, independently evolving diverse respiratory systems for acquiring oxygen from the environment.

In fact, mercury is still used in a variety of industrial processes, including the production of plastics and pharmaceuticals. As a result of these regulations, many fish sold in grocery stores and restaurants today are mercury-free, but not all of them are. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banned the use of mercury in fish because it was known to cause cancer and other health problems in humans.įDA also prohibited the sale of fish that had been treated with mercury vapor, which was used to sterilize fish before they were sold to consumers. The goldfish’s signature orange, red, and yellow colors can be found in over a hundred different varieties of the fish. The dull, gray-green color of the Prussian carp is from when the goldfish were domesticated. Some fish may not respond at all, while others may respond very well. In addition, some fish are more susceptible to hypoxic conditions than others, so it is important to keep in mind that not all fish will respond to the same degree to oxygen deprivation. Hypoxic fish can also be affected by other environmental factors, such as high levels of ammonia, nitrite and nitrate, as well as the presence of bacteria in their environment. ![]() If the oxygen level is too high, however, it can lead to a condition known as hypoxia, which is characterized by an inability to breathe normally and can result in death if not treated quickly. When oxygen levels are too low, the fish’s skin will turn a bright yellowish-green color, and this color can last for a few days or even weeks. This can be caused by a variety of factors, including diet, amount of light exposure, genetics, maturing and aging, water quality, or a combination of all of the above. Why do goldfish change from black to gold?Ĭhances are, if you own a goldfish, they change color occasionally. As a result of this reaction, your silver fish will start to develop a shiny metallic appearance, similar to that of human nails or hair. Melanin is the pigment that gives our skin its colour, and it is produced by the melanocytes, which are the cells that make up the outer layer of the animal’s skin. When sunlight hits the skin of a fish, it triggers the production of melanin. The reason why this happens is due to a chemical reaction that occurs when the fish is exposed to sunlight. This means that when your goldfish grows, its scales will become shiny and shiny, just like a human’s hair or nails. It is also the main component of hair, nails and nailspray. ![]() Keratin is a soft, fibrous protein that is found in the scales of many animals, including humans. The reason for this is that your fish’s scales are made up of keratin, the same substance that makes up human hair and fingernails. The fish you have are metallic scaled and have a bright shiny appearance. The black colouration of your goldfish has nothing to do with environment, but everything to do with the process of turning orange/gold. Why do goldfish change from black to gold?. ![]() ![]() Ummm…I’ve totally lost all of you who were going to try this, haven’t I? :) When you are done, slide the parts of the socket back together, put in your light bulb, and plug it in! If you’ve ever installed a light fixture it’s just like that. One wire is ribbed – wrap that around the screw it says to and tighten that one. Wrap that around the screw it says to, then tighten the screw. Then follow the directions – one wire is smooth. You can see it here, but on the directions it’s much easier to follow: The directions for the cord will show you how to tie it into a “knot” – I can’t remember what it’s called, but it’s very clear how to do it, and it takes a minute. Sometimes you can just pull them apart, sometimes you’ll need a wire cutter to cut down the middle: Next, you’ll want to separate the two wires a bit. Then take your cord, with the open ends, and put it down through the pieces I just mentioned: I do not lie!įirst step is to take the top off the socket, and screw the piece above into the top of the socket, then put it through the middle of the lamp shade bracket, then screw the loop onto it on top: If you have all the parts in front of you, it will quite literally take you ten minutes to put this together. I’m pretty experienced with electrical work and I’m not just saying it. You need to believe me when I say this is EASY to do. The second piece to the puzzle is the socket: I forgot to take a picture of the package, but it looks exactly like this: The first thing you need is a cord with a plug at the end. Most of what I needed was in the lamp part section at Lowe’s. Guy helped me pick out the parts I needed, and when I got home to put them together I was VERY pleasantly surprised at how fast and easy it was to put them together! There’s a large BUT coming, so stay with me here… Luck was on my side that day at Lowe’s because very knowledgeable Lowe’s Guy was there to help me out…and he didn’t look at me like I had two heads when I described what I wanted to do. ![]() ![]() ![]() There were smaller versions for chandelier-type bulbs, but I needed something I could run through the top of my drum shade. But when I got to Lowe’s there was no “light kit” to be found. I’ve seen this project in numerous magazines and every time they give directions, they say to find a light kit – I’ve seen them on TV so I knew what I was looking for. This one was exactly what I needed for my DIY light fixture…and it was only $13! Booyahhhh! I’m pretty much obsessed with drum shades lately. Then an idea hit a couple weeks ago, and while shopping at HomeGoods over the weekend, I found a perfect, huge, beautiful drum shade: So I considered a couple options for a ceiling light in the room and nothing had panned out. Because of the way the beams run in the ceiling, it would be a major project I’m not willing to mess with right now – AND it would be costly. I talked to our electrician a while back about installing an overhead light in this room. Make your own large drum shade chandelier in a few simple steps! ![]() ![]() ![]() Rather than just remaining the velvety voice of the show, she's doled out tiny nuggets hinting at the significance her subjects have to her. ![]() I would never be a normal person."Īnd over the course of the series, Longworth, who appears to value a lack of intense scrutiny of herself, has allowed herself to make the show, if not diaristic or prone to solipsism, then at least more personal. "I think growing up without a mom and being raised by a single father shaped everything about me. It also goes into the changing attitudes about sex work on film in "Pretty Woman" and its implication in "Indecent Proposal" and ends midseason with analyses on the work of unbelievably successful Joe Eszterhas, the screenwriter of hits like "Flashdance" "Basic Instinct" and finale capper "Showgirls." "Erotic '90s" mirrors the previous season's opener with discussions on the climate of feminist politics and the failure of the NC-17 rating to make space within the marketplace for sexually explicit, but sophisticated adult (as in not for children, but not pornography either) ventures. "Erotic '80s" starts at the birth of the ratings system and the brief heyday of porno chic (think the zeitgeist's love affair "Deep Throat") and goes on to interrogate the working conditions on "9 ½ Weeks" and the conservative politics and sexual anxieties of "Fatal Attraction" and "Dirty Dancing," and dovetails into the new world of the home video market, the proliferation of sex tapes and Steven Soderbergh's "sex, lies, and videotape." ![]() "The casting couch is real": Author Karina Longworth on Hollywood's long history of power abuse If something feels slightly different about the "Erotic '80s" and "Erotic '90s" seasons compared to previous entries of "You Must Remember This," it is perhaps because our collective temporal proximity isn't as distant as it has been to, say, stories about the Hollywood Blacklist or Kenneth Anger's deranged mythologies of early Hollywood. And her season on "Song of the South" examined how a film as racist as it is has stayed, even subconsciously, within the American pop cultural lexicon through re-releases and theme park rides.įor the past two seasons, however, Longworth has been considering the era of when sex and sexuality were so saturated in mainstream popular culture that strings of films like "Fatal Attraction," "Pretty Woman" and "Showgirls" could convey a shifting, excited, anxious, unpredictable and uncertain feeling about sex, power and capital in the country. For almost a decade, she has excavated the stories of the film industry's first century, from the Manson murders to Joan Crawford, and deconstructed, demystified and reflected on the sociocultural contexts of both their time and ours. Longworth has come to be known for her cinematic clairvoyance, or at least her ability to channel this on the podcast, her voice often described as dreamy. They ruminate on the film historian's uncanny ability to access Hollywood's past, its specters, the things that haunt the industry, leaving orb like traces on our current entertainment landscape. Most articles about Longworth and her podcast start with something ethereal. But, the "You Must Remember This" host, who has guided listeners through Hollywood's first century for over eight years, is more than just a soothsayer of cinema's history. And there's no better person to do that than Karina Longworth. Perhaps to understand the present we have to summon the past. ![]() It is a confusing time, augmented by both the normalization and proliferation of internet pornography, meaningful progress on conversations about sex, gender, identity and power, and a Hollywood film industry that has seemingly eliminated sexuality from a cinematic ecosystem that primarily courts comic book fans and children. In the last days of Twitter, one thing is constant: there's barely a week that goes by before someone stirs the sex scenes in movies discourse pot. ![]() |
