![]() ![]() I figured I would just build a web-based version first, and by the time I left Apple to fulfill my raging entrepreneurial desires, I would already have a solid framework in place for the Quiztones app. At the time though, I was working at Apple, and they don’t allow employees to release their own apps. My original Quiztones vision was actually a mobile app. How did it develop into an iPhone app?Īfter getting a positive response from updates to the web-app, I pursued the Quiztones iOS app. The idea started at McNally Smith College of Music when my teacher Joe Mabbott quizzed us on different frequencies using a tone generator.Īt the time, I was already working with flash developers building Staffnotes, so I thought it’d be easy enough to just have them code a web-based Flash app that quizzed you on different frequencies. Quiztones is a frequency ear training app for audio professionals and musicians. How did the idea for the original Quiztones program come about? Explain to the readers what exactly Quiztones does. Before that I was hustling my first baby. My first real online endeavor was 2-3 years ago with Staffnotes printable staff paper. The Quiztones iPhone app is not your first creation, where did you start in your entrepreneurial activities. I decided it would be nice to hear the story of his success and how his idea came to fruition. We scoured the hallways of the AES convention and shared many an internet idea over drinks. Interview with Dan Comerchero of Quiztones & The Pro Audio Filesĭan is one of the few Twitter friends I have that I’ve actually gone ahead and met in person. Quiztones is available as an app for any of your igadgets, iPhone, iPad etc soon, so check it out at. Browse through the tabs and try your ears at the different frequency tests using sine waves or noise, vocals, drums and guitars. I’ve done similar exercises using the Golden Ears program but nothing beats a free frequency trainer like his. Quiztones is a great little application created by skills. It’s much faster to instinctively cut that pesky frequency out of your kick drum than having to go through each part of the spectrum until you accidentally happen upon the right one. Knowing where to go when you need to EQ is a great skill to have. ![]()

Tyler McArthur won the Theme category for Bird Flight.Īustin Barr, Caleb Foster, Edmund Hernandez and Sebantu Mukanya won the Technical category for Penguin on a Motorbike.Ĭaleb Horsch and Jules Maslak-Hopper won Best use of AR/VR/XR for VR Flappy Bird.Īll of the projects submitted for VirtualHacks 2023 are available for viewing in the event’s Devpost project gallery. Jack Akers won Best Use of Linux for Bird Proompt. Jonathan Gutierrez, Maggie Hilty and Aurora Potter won the Visual category for a game about finding a hidden bird in a forrest. Other winners include:ĭrew Byrd and Caleb Meeks won Overall Beginner for Bird Watch. Neeley won the Overall Experienced category for her project, a parody of Untitled Goose Game. “One of the winning projects was completed by Develop president, Jade Neeley.” ![]() “I gave an introduction to the Develop at the opening ceremony of VirtualHacks, and we collaborated with them on hosting a few of the events,” Zhou said. She emphasized the partnership between the two organizations as one factor contributing to the success of the event. Zhou currently serves as treasurer for both MUVR and Develop. Andrew Buck gave a demonstration of AR drones that was very interesting.” “ Michael Tompkins led a Blender workshop that I enjoyed because Blender is a 3D modeling tool I was interested in,” Zhou said. The WebXR workshop was led by Erika Zhou, a senior computer science student, while the others were led by Mizzou Engineering faculty. While students worked on their projects, the organizers hosted workshops to introduce students to new skills and tools, such as WebXR, the Unity game engine, and Blender, as well as breaks for fun activities, including a cup stacking competition, board games, and a session of the VR music rhythm game Beat Saber. This year felt like a successful hackathon.” “We ended up with 9 finished projects submitted by groups and individuals, which is a significant increase in engagement from the last few years. “About 30 people signed up, and around 20 participated in person,” said Stuart Aldrich, MUVR President. Students had the flexibility to participate virtually in addition to in-person at Naka and Lafferre Halls. VirtualHacks 2023, “Birds of a Feather,” was co-hosted by the University of Missouri Virtual Reality Organization (MUVR) and Develop, two student organizations in the College of Engineering.įocused on extended reality, the 48-hour hackathon was open to projects based in augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), but also traditional computer programs as well, to allow anyone interested to work in the format of their choice. Have you ever wanted to fly like a bird, complete tasks as a goose, or step inside the 2013 viral game, “Flappy Bird?” Extended reality (XR) makes it possible, as more than two dozen students demonstrated at a recent XR hackathon.
![]() ![]() Not to mention one character straight up leaves you if you have a female character that says no to sex. Tons and tons of savescumming over multiplayer. It does the combat well and is very interesting, but the overarching game felt more about trying to figure out if we are the right level or not for a given area. ![]() I played Divinity 2 and it feels like a combat system that tries to be an RPG. They are both great games if you like RPGs. Mostly, this is a problem coming back from a break. I don't always have time to sit through and play the game especially when that is a focus. If you are not interested in the politics then you won't have fun. But it's also got a sort of Gothic, surrealist (or magical realist), character-focused and darkly beautiful quality to it. It's more of a visual novel than a game, focused on creating a mood more than gameplay. Kentucky Route Zero also has a somewhat similar feel. The in-game decisions have a lot of moral gray areas and weight, which influence and affect later parts of the game. We Happy Few is perhaps the most similar narratively: set in the mid-1960s, following an AU WWII, you control 3 characters, trying to complete a personal task while escaping a crumbling dystopian city on the verge of societal collapse due to the overuse of a hallucinogenic drug that keeps its citizens blissfully unaware about the truth of their world, easily manipulated, and lacking morals. (Red Candle Studios also has another game, Devotion, which has a very different kind of story but is still pretty terrifying while still serving as a thoughtful critique of religious extremism.) ![]() Some of the games that captured elements of this for me have been Detention, Kentucky Route Zero, Night in the Woods and We Happy Few, which touch on some of the same themes.ĭetention is a really stunning horror game about the students at a school in Taiwan during the White Terror period, and the ways in which authoritarian rule impacted the students and turned decent people into something sinister. Or something with a similar vibe: kind of satirical, surreal, philosophical? Themes of societal decay, the fallibility of memory, humanity, survival? Set in a state that's rebuilding after a war? (Post-Colonial? Soviet Gothic? Anti-Imperialist?) Presenting a nuanced perspective on a complex topic? Designed to make the player think (possibly about communism)? Maybe something with similar story features: strong narrative, well-written dialogue, compelling characters? Complex morality and/or meaningful decision making with results that aren't always obvious? A lead character that is customizable, but complex and fallible, instead of a featureless power fantasy? So what games have you found that evoked something similar for you? But it doesn't feel like a satisfying answer when you're trying to find something that can fill the void.

The Austrian capital is a dreamy destination for a holiday hiatus, complete with layers of culture that elevate this place to the world's most livable city. Dropping into The Dorotheum, the famed Austrian auction house? A five-minute walk toward Stephansplatz brings you to the city’s towering gothic church, where glittering stalls wrap around it like a Christmas wreath. Going to the Upper Belvedere to see Gustav Klimt’s The Kiss? Top off your visit with gooey Raclette at the market outside. Austrians often refer to the three-week period as the country’s “fifth season.” Festivities unfold in stunning squares and pedestrian spaces, making the walks from cafés to museums and shops even more delectable. ![]() Vienna always shines, but during the Advent season, it sparkles. Even beyond the Christmas markets, most street corners feature a mulled wine or punch stand where people huddle together under those same lights, wrapped in layers of wool as the sun sets.

![]() ![]() Gorillas however do not hunt for food and lack that predatory instinct to kill and that might work against it in a battle with these natural hunters.Īnother thing to consider is the Gorillas lacks claws and will be at a severe disadvantage amongst 3 species with the most deadliest sets of claws of any animals. For comparison, the normal human IQ score is approximately 100. Gorillas have been shown to have an IQ range between 75 and 95 and possess the ability to understand 2000 English words. Some have been taught sign language and learned to communicate with the handlers. In captivity, gorillas have been documented showing complex emotions, form family bonds, the ability to use tools, and recognize past and future. In addition to the size, strength, and speed, gorillas are also very intelligent. (Related: How Do Gorillas Get So Big And Strong While Being Herbivores?) Some gorillas have been recorded moving over 20 miles per hour. ![]() Gorillas have been documented lifting over 1800 pounds and throw with a force of nearly 1000 pounds! Not only are they strong, but gorillas are also fast. Male gorillas show an unbelievable amount of strength. ![]() Gorillas can also bite with an incredible 1300 pounds per square inch, twice the force of a lion, which is enough to crush a human skull like a grape. The male gorillas have broad, muscular shoulders and a crest, or ridge, that distinguishes them from the females. Males can weigh between 300 and 450lbs with the smaller females ranging between 200 to 300 pounds. Silverback gorillas males stand on average 6 foot tall with the females topping out around 5 feet. We are going to look at these powerful animals and determine how a silverback gorilla would fair in a fight with each. However, what would happen if this king of the jungle had to fight the other kings of the jungle, a male lion? What about a tiger? A grizzly bear? They and are truly the king of their jungle. The large primates can lift over ten times their body weight and with the rare exception of a leopard, have no natural predators. Silverback Gorillas are one of the strongest and intimating animals on the planet. ![]() ![]() ![]() Yellow miso has an intense but subtle flavor that carries a hint of sweetness and smoky, which sets it apart from other types of miso. The result is then left to further ferment anywhere from three months to two years.įurthermore, its color ranges from light yellow to brown, and its texture can range from a thick paste to crumbly, depending on its age at maturity. This traditional seasoning is made by fermenting a mixture of cooked soybeans and salt with a variety of type-specific grains, such as barley, wheat, or rice. Yellow miso is an integral part of Japanese cuisine. The 5 Best Substitutes for Farina 2 – Yellow Miso In some recipes which call for white miso paste, light soy sauce can be used instead, although the taste won’t be quite the same due to their differences in sugar content. ![]() It has applications as both an ingredient in marinades and stir fries and as a condiment served alongside meals. Its combination of salty, lightly sweet, and slightly bitter taste makes it a valuable ingredient in any cook’s repertoire. It typically has a slightly thinner texture than dark soy sauce and is a little bit less intense in flavor. Light soy sauce is a kitchen pantry staple and adds an interesting saltiness to many dishes. Here are five of the best that you can consider: 1 – Light Soy Sauce If you’re looking for a substitute for white miso paste, there are several options to choose from. ![]() The 5 Best Substitutes for White Miso Paste Start with a tablespoon in recipes calling for miso paste – adding more will give a stronger flavor if desired. White miso is versatile, as it can be added just before serving or cooked over low heat for several hours to give complex flavors to dishes such as stews or slowly simmered sauces. This creamy paste adds umami to any dish without overwhelming other flavors. ![]() ![]() ![]() It should also be noted that this tool is no longer seen as the account using anything over a set range only known by Bigpoint will be removed from the game almost immediately by a script created to detect cheats such as this. A feature that allows them to lock anyone, anywhere within the map. The main feature that they grant, however, is the autolock. The unique thing about this tool is it actually works on players too, meaning you can gain many unfair advantages against them too not just aliens. They can see invisible ships and lock people from across the map with no effort. Autolock ToolĪn autolocking tool is a tool that grants many unfair advantages among the player using it. But what actually happens is the software documents these details and sends it to the owner of the software. ![]() Many of these tools "work" by asking you to post your username and your password and the amount of Uridium you want to be sent to your account. Many people who used these reported that a virus was put onto their computer or their account was taken from them shortly afterwards. These bots are supposed to generate large amounts of Uridium to your account for free. However, there are many of these advertised on many websites such as YouTube. It is proven this method does not work as the only way to gain Uridium is for it to be purchased through the payment section. This is the most common bot in DarkOrbit. It is used because doing lots of gates is very boring for some players that wish to do them to gain very high ranking trough Honour and EP gains. This bot gives you the privilege to complete galaxy gates very fast and does multiple in a row. ![]() 10 to collect even more with the auto looter gear. Players who use this will be commonly seen on the X-8 maps or much more commonly, the X-2 maps. It's especially effective because ships who use this kind of cheating can be cloaked so they are not seen by other players. This is the most iconic of all bots ever created and is now considered a side feature on most bots rather than a stand-alone program. It's piece of software which allows the player to pick up bonus boxes automatically. This is the first bot ever found in DarkOrbit. Whether you agree with botting or not, you will see it continue to happen.Īll these methods listed down below represent examples of functions of a bot or just the program itself. There are arguments that Bigpoint should release their own official bot so they profit from it all, but the issue with that, is that it's directly against the terms and conditions of the game. This has been true in DarkOrbit for many years, and will continue to be true while Bigpoint allows it to continue. The majority of players use bots to collect Uridium to avoid having to pay for them as a service. A botter (or a cheater) is someone who uses a bot, tool or script software downloaded from websites to give themselves an unfair advantage or collect resources faster than humanly possible within DarkOrbit. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() With such a promising premise, it is a bit disappointing that there are lore dumps - “show, don’t tell. Solar Ash (PS4) Trophies Full list of all 33 Solar Ash trophies - 13 bronze, 15 silver, 4 gold and 1 platinum. There are also Dark Souls-esque “Quests” which you get by talking to NPCs, but they aren’t much better. Solar Ash From the creators of the award-winning Hyper Light Drifter comes the high-speed and gravity-bending world of Solar Ash. ![]() I feel this is a game that would be best told without voice acting or an abundance of information, as the atmosphere already hits the mark with its wonderful sci-fi mysticism. Even the cast of characters, while likable and well-voiced, weren’t able to get me emotionally invested. Around we go.' Even Reis first meeting with Echo should clue you in to the fact. After activating Cyd's platform directly in front of the large, dilapidated cathedral. Throughout the game, there are glaring yet easily missable hints foreshadowing the end of Solar Ash. Solar Ash takes place in a breathtaking open world that the main character, Rei. Most of the story is delivered through lore dumping - audio logs that didn’t have me hooked. By the end of Solar Ash, you will realise that this is the type of game where you have to replay it to catch all the clues. The story is quite intriguing in its concepts, and the multiple endings are somewhat well-written. ASH meets or exceeds adequacy standards for access in the geographic areas servicing Horizon BCBSNJ members. You’ll have your AI buddy, Cyd, assisting you, and you’ll meet some survivors of the affected worlds on the way. You’ll cross paths with Echo, a giant ghostly figure who tries to stop you on your mission to activate the Starseed, a device that could destroy the black hole. or 'the Centralized Yottabyte Database', often written simply as Cyd and pronounced Sid (/sd/ SID), is a sentient robotic artificial intelligence that aids the Voidrunners on their missions inside of black holes. You play as Rei, a voidrunner who enters the “Ultravoid,” a supermassive black hole that threatens to consume all planets in its path, including Rei’s home world. Solar Ash is another triumph from Heart Machine, a fast-paced burst of vibrant, surreal science fiction where players get to glide and jump around fascinating worlds with terrific bits of. The game puts you in the hyper-powered shoes of a “voidrunner,” one of a group of beings who navigate black holes.

Perhaps the uninstall step was important, I'm not sure, but you could try that (and also 10.1.4 may have fixed some more issues). Then, it proceeded as normal, and did a firmware update which apparently is needed for version 10.x. You should be seeing an option via video desktop (under Blackmagic programs in programs ) similar to what you see in pic above. Blackmagic Design Desktop Video is the driver that is required in order for Livestream Producer and Livestream Studio software to recognize video inputs. ![]() I actually made a call into support in case there would be any problems during the update, and they actually walked me through uninstalling 9.9.3 with its uninstaller in the dmg.
