![]() ![]() By the end of December, QSERF would implement refueling for the Dark Matter Reactor, introducing the first, of many, maintenance features the game would receive, as well as the Raider team. ![]() Not long after QSERF's launch, the first iteration of Quantum Science's Security Department, Quantum Security Task Force, launched under Commandant Dekimus. Work on QSERF from this point was dedicated to expanding to the game's feature list. Despite administrative and developer expectations, the game managed to accrue roughly 109 players on launch despite gamebreaking bugs being present in the initial launch version while the cumulative player count was much lower, QS Administrative Personnel considered the launch to be a success. QSERF was released on August 18th, 2019 at roughly 4:30PM Pacific Standard Time. The game would see many of its QSML: Origins components be remastered, such as the Dark Matter Reactor Gen 01. Subsequently, the declaration of QSERF as a flagship project would result in the delay, and eventual cancellation, of SST's Quantum Science Multipurpose Labs 3 Version 3. The game was originally designated as a showcase, although as the development schedule carried on, more resources started to get poured into the development of QSERF many assets used in QSERF were pre-built by the time the project was initiated.Īs rhetoric surrounding QSERF's development grew louder and more common, the more engrained the SST Developer Team became with the project, culminating in a full-force effort to develop a functional remaster of QSML: Origins. QSERF's design intended on taking on the aesthetic of Aperture Science during the 1960s-1980s as seen in Valve's Portal 2 and associated mods. The game was planned out and announced as a remaster of the legacy game QSML: Origins. QSERF was conceived as a plan in April of 2019. At normal operations, Foxtrot-9 operates at 38000 kW, and a maximum of 50000 kW. The reactor uses sterling converters to generate power to operate on the Facility's Auxiliary Power Grid. The controls for the warhead are separated by 2 bulkhead doors and a singular heavy reinforced vault door.įoxtrot-9 (AKA Project Helios) is a Mobile Nuclear Fission Reactor, also a fictional Type-247 Sterling Converter Reactor with 9 control rods. SL4 is the deepest point of the facility and houses the warhead itself in a Castle Bravo-esque concrete canister. Protocol Saletum is the designation for a one (1) megaton warhead located roughly a kilometer underground in Sublevel 4. The collider, in lore, was made under the guise of having an American-based particle collider that being said, the collider is intended to be the completed rendition of its real-life cancelled counterpart. The Hadron Collider is made up of a 40 kilometer long acceleration track that spans underneath the New England region. ![]() The reactor itself is a prototype, and highly volatile. The DMR shown in QSERF is a single-layered spherical reactor with its Power Lasers in a triangular orientation, while also having magnetic stabilizers (also in triangular orientation) that hold the DMR steady on top of the Gravity Lasers. The Dark Matter Reactor (DMR for short) is an Inertia Confinement-based fusion reactor that uses muon-based catalyzation for operation at 'cold fusion' levels. Here is a breakdown of each of QSERF's leading mechanics, as well as links to their dedicated articles. The game also features combat in the form of Raider gamepass ownership and Quantum Security Operations membership, but there are rules in place to minimize this aspect. The game postures itself as primarily a facility simulation game, offering exploration, maintenance, and a rush to escape when things inevitably go wrong. ![]() ![]() ![]() His mom, dad, and three brothers are tight, but one of the most influential family members for Johnathan is his Uncle Russell, a convict in prison, serving fifteen years to life. Johnathan Harris is fifteen, and lives in Long Beach, California, where he loves playing soccer with his friends, and listening to their favorite rapper, Snoop Dogg, a Long Beach native. Johnathan, a fifteen-year-old African American from Long Beach, California, shares his story of being physically and verbally harassed because of his race, and of overcoming the discrimination to embrace all cultures, and then to be proud of his own.Colorblind: A Story of Racism is the third in a series of graphic novels written by young adults for their peers.

We'll give March and They Called Us Enemy as a given. So here are a few suggested graphic novels and non-fiction addressing racial issues directly, rather than just through allegory, with significant contribution by POC creators. Maus and Persepolis are barely even in the top 100. It takes until you get to the 15th position and then 25th position on the chart to get to John Lewis' March graphic novels, while George Takei's They Called Us Enemy is at 38th right now. The highest placed book dealing with race in the comics chart a miscategorised novel from the seventies. While Ta Nehisi Coates's prose books are in the book chart, his comics are not present in the comics chart. However, the Amazon comic book/graphic novel chart has not been similarly affected. ![]() ![]() That one translates to “In Beirut Arabs f**k sculptor in the bum.” Less natural, less fun, but this is the new vulgar record holder! And it is 2 characters longer that the English Panama favourite. “U Bejrutu Arapi kipara u tur jebu.” (34 characters) To my surprise, I found an even longer one: So I asked Google for more fun in Serbo-Croatian. Contrast that to the Panama and Tulsa examples and they seem a bit stretched. It is funny because it is completely natural that is the exact phrase Dara would ask Mišo. It translates to “Dara asks Mišo: do you want a blowjob?” First time I heard it, I couldn’t stop laughing. “Mišu pita Dara: ‘Da ti pušim?’” (30 characters) In Croatian (same in Serbian) there is a really nice one: Not bad, huh? It is only 6 characters shorter than the Panama favourite.īut, it gets better – if we change the language. “A slut nixes sex in Tulsa.” (26 characters) “A man, a plan, a canal – Panama!” (32 characters)įor those with dirtier minds, the question arises – what would the longest meaningful vulgar palindrome be? I abused the Google and the longest I fund was: ![]() To create a meaningful one you need to ditch the dictionary and use your creativity. For example, this is the current computer record holder (105,302 characters). Computers can generate really long palindromes but they are completely meaningless. Mama Sunshine clearly loves the children, yet she comes off as a subtly domineering cult leader who has made them over with a wholesome conformity that renders them mere reflections of her ”goodness.” It’s no wonder that Aviva, played in this sequence by the marvelous Sharon Wilkins, feels saved and lost at the same time.As you probably know, a palindrome reads the same backwards as it does forwards. Solondz flirts with creating a youth version of Freaks, except that he treats these kids without a trace of mockery, letting any exploitation reside in the eye of the beholder. Many of her kids have disabilities (there’s a girl with no legs), and when we see them perform the catchy-creepy teen-pop number ”This Is the Way (That Jesus Made Us),” the layers of irony are head-spinning. A devout antiabortionist, with a husband whose feelings on the subject are even more extreme, Mama Sunshine regards herself as a holy savior of children. On the road, Aviva connects with Earl (Stephen Adly Guirgis), a trucker with a guilty taste for young girls, and she lands at the homestead of Mama Sunshine (Debra Monk), the relentlessly upbeat Christian matriarch of a family of wayward adoptees. A palindrome is a word, number, phrase, or other sequence of symbols that reads the same backwards as forwards, such as madam or racecar, the date and time 12/21/33 12:21, and the sentence: 'A man, a plan, a canal Panama'. Is Solondz making a pro-life statement? Yes, but not the one that you think. Solondz, who seems to have entered his avant-garde outlaw phase, has made a movie that demands to be seen because it’s like nothing you’ve seen before. Think Welcome to the Dollhouse meets The Night of the Hunter meets Huck Finn in Wonderland. Describing what happens in Palindromes, however, doesn’t begin to capture what it’s like to watch - the disturbed and heightened curiosity, the feeling of a social odyssey that unfolds with the suspense of a demented screwball dream. Palindromes, at its simplest, tells the story of Aviva, a morose 13-year-old Jewish girl from New Jersey who gets herself pregnant, is forced by her mother to have an abortion, and ends up running away to a heartland America of wonders and terrors even more disquieting than the suburban enclave she left behind.

Most language historians credit score the formal development of the palindrome to Sotades The Obscene of Maronea, a 3rd century B.C. Solondz, the naughty-boy poet-joker of desire and despair who made Welcome to the Dollhouse, Happiness, and Storytelling, is peerless at inventing new and visionary ways to get under your skin. Palindrome Data uses contemporary machine learning to revolutionise traditional public health approaches. A palindrome is a word, number, expression, or sequence which checks out the exact same in reverse as forward. ![]() Then there’s Todd Solondz’s Palindromes, which is that rare event: a memorable provocation. Each year, a handful of movies are hailed as ”daring” and ”edgy” and ”subversive” and a great many other things that turn out, almost invariably, not to be true. ![]() ![]() You're able to right-click any of these connections to abruptly terminate the process or even send it to VirusTotal for an online virus scan.

Some of them even generate system prompts over relatively mild security concerns in order to, yet again, pressure you into buying something. Most security software is out for a subscription fee, a licensing fee, or shows you endless ads. While it isn’t a piece of software that you can set it and forget it – you will need to update it as free updates become available – the fact that it never bothers you with endless begging is a huge plus in its column. It’s a great combination of features, ease of use, and convenience. How’s that for a permanent solution to your security backup? All of the software’s features are available immediately and forever. What that translates into is that you will never be asked for a licensing fee, won’t have to watch endless, meaningless ads, nor will you be prompted to purchase an upgrade. You can customize your firewall along many lines but some of the most popular include setting temporary firewall rules, adding tampering protection, and creating blocklists for abusive programs.īest of all, the software is free and convenient to use. In keeping with this trend, there are no kernels or driver components installed on your system when you use this app. You don’t have to worry about that with TinyWall as it seamlessly integrates with Windows’ natural security features. Running a system that is already strapped for resources is tough enough without adding bloated security software on top of it. In fact, the devs behind TinyWall describe its impact on your system’s overall performance as “negligible” and we have to agree. This means it won’t suck up a bunch of memory and it won’t pester you with constant updates and status prompts – unlike some security software out there. ![]() ![]() Stay tuned for more details and we’ll share them here at Shacknews as they drop. Helldivers 2 is supposed to drop on PS5 and PC sometime in 2023, but we don’t know exactly when yet. It may be changing up a bit, but based on the trailer, it looks like Arrowhead still has a good handle on mixing zany chaos into good third-person co-op shooter gameplay. Join the fight for freedom and democracy by enlisting with the Helldivers to protect Super Earth and its inhabitants. Greetings to my battle-hardened veterans and comrades of the honorable Helldivers Corps. We featured the game this very year in a Big Team Building livestream and had an absolute blast even 8 years later. It’s also remained as one of the most chaotic and fun co-op shooters around.

It looks like it will be very similar, and yet quite a bit different in a few ways from the previous game. The game is slated to launch on PS5 and PC platforms sometime this year.

The problem with ray tracing is that there is always some limit on how many times rays can bounce, and making sure they accurately or sufficiently find lights. So what is a Bi-directional Path Tracer with VCM (vs a unidirectional path tracer) ? This system of offering a range of ‘integrators’ inside RIS represents a major addition to the options for high quality imagery inside RenderMan. but how light is rendered in the new versionĪlong with a host of changes, Pixar announced their newest version of RenderMan today, including a new internal option for rendering or rather solving the rendering equation called ‘RIS’. The new RM RIS features are amazing, not only about render times. Mental Ray introduced GPU calculation of GI and AO, in it's latest iteration, so it's not done as a production render, either. ![]() In fact, Nvidia is offering Unified Memory now, where the card can utilize the memory of the system, rather than have to rely strictly on the RAM on the card, itself. RAM on video cards still remain a bit of a barrier, but the 6GB on a Titan can handle quite a heavy scene, and there is a lot of optimization being done. I don't care how slick VRay and Arnold may be.they can't touch GPU renderers in terms of speed. Even VRay and Arnold are not going to stay on their perch if they don't soon offer some kind of GPU tech in their production rendering. ![]() I think some of it, too, is the saturation, now of GPU or GPU/CPU hybrid renderers hitting the market. It might compel some of the other major players to drop their price as well, to compete. Can I somehow use this with 3DC? Or do I need software like 3DSMAX or Maya? I don't really understand what this means for a hobbyist like myself. The new release is built on a v19.0 baseline, and is a consolidation of the components of the previous RenderMan Pro Server (the batch renderer) and RenderMan Studio (the artist’s interface including RenderMan for Maya) into a single RenderMan product that will be continuously updated in both rapid dot and major releases, making traditional versioning more fluid than previously. Today Pixar launches the newest in that long line of innovations, a new rendering architecture known as RIS, that supports plug-in integrators and comes complete with a new industry standard path-tracer as well as a cutting-edge bidirectional path tracer. It is bold strategy – Pixar wants to focus on the high-end animation and effects companies, but build both a user base and open source contributions. RenderMan will now be a quarter of the price and free to non-commercial users – free and completely un-watermarked.įree non-commercial RenderMan will be availabe with the upcoming release of RenderMan scheduled in the timeframe of SIGGRAPH 2014.

This tool enables users to generate RenderMan shaders by joining modules and adjusting their parameters, allowing them to preview the result before saving it, all the while requiring no code writing whatsoever. ‘Slim’ works as a shader creator and manipulator for material building tasks. The Autodesk Maya plugin offers users access to RenderMan’s advanced features, though it uses Maya’s functionality and workflow. The two other components are represented by ‘it’ (imaging tool) and ‘Slim’ (RSL Shader Network Authoring Tool). The software comprises four distinct elements which users can work with, specifically RenderMan for Maya and RenderMan for Katana, plugins which act as bridge packages between the host program and RenderMan’s functionality. They can also include countless other information, like display parameters, and these are stored in RIB format files (RenderMan Interface Bytestream). Generally, scene descriptions comprise information about specific geometry found in a scene, details about how the geometrical object should be shaded, the position of the light sources as well as data about the virtual camera that is used for imaging the scene. It can function both as a standalone tool, but in this form it is aimed at more advanced individuals, as well as a graphic plugin for Autodesk Maya or The Foundry’s Katana. RenderMan is a complex piece of software developed by the Pixar Animation Studios which enables users to generate 2D images out of 3D scene descriptions. ![]() ![]() ![]() It smells organic and by this I mean sort of like greenery (plants).

With some quick maffs, you can see that a Ryzen 3600 would gobble up 816 MB of system RAM, a Ryzen 7950X or an i9 13900 would need 2.2GB, and many phones with 8-threads SoCs would lose 544MB to these allocations. For performance reasons, a significant amount of memory is preallocated to store these blocks of IR, and the old implementation would use 34MB per thread, twice.Ħ8MB per thread may not seem like a lot, right? But this allocation is made as many times as the total thread count of the CPU, SMT included. ![]() ![]() Since native Switch game shaders can’t be run directly on the user’s GPU, yuzu has to recompile them into an intermediate representation (IR) which is a middle format that can be optimized and then converted to a shader that users’ GPU drivers can actually handle (SPIR-V/GLSL/GLASM).

In this case, he investigated what happens if a memory page is being used by the GPU and written by the CPU at the same time. There’s never rest for the wicked, so Blinkhawk makes good use of that extra time doing what he does best: pulling big changes out of thin air. This month has been full of GPU changes, so let’s start with a simple one. Download it from this link: ĭon’t forget to set your clock correctly! Graphics changes You need the latest Visual C++ 2022 redistributable.If you’re running Windows LTSC 1809, or for some reason blocked Windows Update on a regular Windows version, remember to update to the latest yuzu version. For LTSC users, this meant only the newest 2021 release would work. When the changes were released, users needed to run at minimum a 2019 version of Windows 10, with 1809 no longer compatible.There are two important things to keep in mind: Now, while Linux had few issues with the new system (aside from a frustrating issue with Flatpak), Windows has some specific requirements. The new system also sends a correct representation of the universal time, regardless of whether there is a firmware dump or not. The default “Auto” time zone setting will now send a location-accurate time zone to the guest (instead of following the old GMT rule) using the synthesised time zone archive. While this usually worked, it’s not accurate to how the Switch reports times. In the past, yuzu would pretend that the system was in GMT, and then adjust the universal time by the local offset on the guest. Thanks to the amazing work of toastUnlimited, yuzu now ships with The firmware files also include the resources needed for proper time zone support. This is necessary for things like Mii models or to properly render foreign scripts and button fonts. While we implement many features of the Switch operating system, and can boot most games without a firmware dump, some games still require one. Now that we’ve cleared that up, let’s get started. We strongly advise users to uninstall Overwolf until they have fixed their Vulkan layer.
