Then it was review bombed after they fired their racist/transphobic sound designer. There are huge threads on Steam about Subnautica having so much politics that it's hardly a game because the devs had a 12 second message about why there were no guns in the game. ![]() Apart from, maybe CoD: WWII's multiplayer, I can't think of a game series that has completely changed the gender or race of their character (even if others may throw around SJW). Jordan is a fine actor), it certainly makes it feel that way.įor what it's worth, while gaming has a long way to go, I feel that gaming has managed to avoid the same blunders that film has with diversity. ![]() Both of these examples only encourage hatred and even if the intent wasn't to force diversity (Michael B. Being forced to change the background of a character to in order to change the race of your character is also the wrong way to encourage minorities in film (making Susan Storm the adoptive sister of Johnny Storm just so they could make the casting of Michael B.Jordan make sense). Taking a predominantly all male franchise and making them female is the wrong way to encourage more women in film (looking at you Ghostbusters and Ocean's 8). There is a right way and a wrong way to promote and foster diversity in film. With that said, both Wonder Woman and Black Panther have done more for minorities and women within the last year, than any film before it has. You need to reply to this thread in order to see this content.įilm in general has done diversity wrong for a long time now. What the hell is that suppose to mean? I mean maybe we can infer some lifestyle from that information? Imagine if you are watching a movie or playing a game and a side character shows up and randomly tells you his age. If it's an important character that has a real plot I think I wouldn't have any problems with that, the problem is just that currently too many of them just seem to be there to check boxes. All of these characters are thrown in just to check boxes, none of them even matter. I've thought about this several times, am I wrong for thinking that I don't want a liberal archetype character in my media, but then I remembered my problem. I'm sure this happens in games sometimes as well, but I just don't get it. I mean, sure, go ahead and have a lesbian Asian woman, there's nothing wrong with that, but when you purposely make her say it out and then give her character nothing to work with, why? Her being a lesbian and us knowing that information have no relevancy to the story and the character's role, it was just randomly thrown in there because. Like, why even tell us she is a lesbian if this isn't going to create any interesting plot from it. That was all the characterization she got. One of the character in there that showed up was an Asian woman, and she's also a lesbian. There was a tv series, "The Mist" that gave me that vibe really strongly. Like they will arbitrarily assign that this character is "insert liberal trait" but the character itself isn't even a real character. I think the problem with this stuff in movies/tv shows I see is because sometimes these characters exists only to pander towards certain groups of people. I actually have this feeling sometimes with movies, not so much games. ![]() 10/4/2023 0 Comments Edit photo words![]() All examples use JS async-await syntax, be sure to call the API inside an async function.Ĭonst deepai = require ( 'deepai' ) // OR include as a script tag in your HTMLĭeepai.

Xpadder also has a forum, where you can ask your questions or find the needed answers. You may set the zone percentage on your own. sticks and triggers), and when the control is 25% off the 0 point - the mapping reproduces. You can add them to analog controls (e.g. And distance zones in this controller mapping software impressed me a lot. You can set an autoprofile assigning an *.exe file to a certain config. You can also add up to 8 Shift modifiers with different ways to switch between them (1-way, 2-way, while held). Here’s why: you have lots of options for sticks and D-pad (Standart, 8-way, 4-way, etc.), have a powerful macro editor, turbo, toggle, rumble. Still, it’s an awesome gamepad mapper for a game that doesn’t support controller. So you can’t eliminate the native layout in games that have controller support from-the-box or even change it a little bit, so you might want an Xpadder alternative to do that. Then you create a config and add mappings but unfortunately only the keyboard ones. The next step in this controller mapping software is to configure the layout: you can drag the controls and make a mess. Once the controller is plugged in, Xpadder asks you to move analog controls to add them to the controller scheme and tune the deadzone. As a result, you literally build a unique scheme. The significant ability of Xpadder is to support almost any controller device: this controller mapper allows you to add each button or analog element that your controller has one-by-one. It perceptibly lacks tooltips easier navigation hardware mappings Not-so-good with multiple toggles working at the same time overlapping native controller support Spectacular with supporting lots of devices lots of stick settings (Standart, 8-way, 4-way) great graphic representation of turbo distance zones autoprofile Works with standart buttons of various controllers Win 7, 8, 10 Just a small spoiler: the best one is in the end :) Xpadder So it will be quite easy to compare the most popular controller mappers: Xpadder, JoyToKey, Pinnacle Game Profiler, InputMapper (DS4Windows) and reWASD. We’ve created a config sample that has almost identical mappings in each program, just so you could see the difference. Using the Shield with Xpadder/Pinnacle Game Profiler? - Shield Q&A So I've got my Shield and I'm loving it.Just wondering, have you already chosen the controller mapper that would suit all your needs? We’re on our way to help you decide! Choosing the controller mapping software is a tough deal because each one of them has its own specifics. However, only about half of my games have Xinput controller support. So I'm trying to figure out how to get either Pinnacle Game Profiler or Xpadder to work with it. I've tried a few things, and I'm not quite getting there. Setting up a Profile with Pinnacle for Xbox 360 controller and then launching Big Picture from the Shield. This didn't work (although it works with my regular Xbox 360 controller when not using the Shield). ![]() Adding Pinnacle Game Profiler as a program to Steam and then trying to launch it while connected with the Shield. ![]() It would not open while the Shield was connected to Steam. It did open in Big Picture while the Shield was not connected. I do have a few ideas, but I'm not sure how to implement them. One idea is to figure out how to add Xinput to a game. The other idea is to try and get Windows to see the Shield's controller and then configure Pinnacle/Xpadder in the normal way.īasically setting up something like Pinnacle or Xpadder to "listen" for a connected Xinput-compatible controller and then activate the proper profile. ![]() I've tried connecting the Shield to my PC with a USB cable, but it only mounts as a Media Drive and the controller feature is not detected by the computer. Someone on the Pinnacle forum suggested trying to find an App for Android that will connect the Shield to my PC as a controller. There are several Apps that can do something like this, but none that look like they would work with the physical buttons on the Shield (if someone knows of a good App, I'd be interested to try it). So those are my thoughts and where I'm at. The inability to map the controller to keyboard buttons is the biggest letdown of the system to me.

I paused the game, started numerous buildings and then unpaused it, everything worked for a coupe of years and then suddenly construction workers started getting stuck on the road and traffic backed up behind them. I had no problems in colonial or world wars, then after moving into cold war my economy was growing, I had over 1 million in the treasury and then I expanded to the back half of the main island. I started a new game and a few hours into it I'm having a similar issue. ![]() I finished the mission with over a month left on the referendum on hard difficulty and it was fine for me other than the traffic issue.

I haven't been playing the game as much lately (since I have all missions done on every difficulty, even hard) or I'd have spent more time trying to replicate this. When I finally deleted the roads and put them somewhere else the traffic flow was a little better I finished the mission soon after that and deleted the save so I don't know how widespread it is.

At the end, she even styled it with a brush and dryer to create natural waves for my new hairstyle.Please arrive on time to ensure you receive your full service. I loved how she thinned it out and gave it layers to give me a voluminous look as well. My hair turned out exactly like i wanted: same length, but with more shape and style. I told her in the beginning that I'd like to keep the length since i'm growing my hair out and warned her of my hair's tendency to get puffy if cut improperly. I had a hair stylist name Hee Ya (according to her card) and she listened and did exactly what i wanted and even styled it beautifully afterwards!! :D She told me from the get-go that the haircut would cost $30, which i think is pretty average. I called in randomly on Friday to see if I could walk in, and lucky for me, the person who was scheduled originally showed up after me (20 mins late) so i was able to be seated right away. I felt that it was finally time to get a trim considering my perm was almost gone anyways and my hair was getting unruly. I've been waiting to get a haircut for about half a year after getting my digital perm because i've had way too many experiences in the past where i would ask for a trim and come out with half my hair gone. Second time permers, come at your own risk. For all first time permers, do not come here. This leaves me to question whether this salon was credentialed at all and if the stylists knew at all what they were doing. When I showed them my straight hair and few limp pieces that they claimed to be wavy, they said they cant redo it. When i showed the receipt of having it done recently, they said they started speaking to each other in korean loudly and later told me it looks fine. When i went back they pretended not to know me. I went back to get it redone since my friends who had experience with perms said this is to be expected for people with super straight hair and first time perming and salons should know that a second treatment may be necessary. Since it was my first time getting a perm my straight hair didn't take the perm. ![]() But for the price of beauty I was willing to be patient. it was a long 3 hour process with stylist ***LISA SUN*** (although the hairdresser initially said 1-2 hours.But ended up helping other customers while my hair sat in the solution / hot rollers ). However, I was able to convey that i wanted the digital perm. The workers could only speak Korean and very minimal English. And having heard great things about this type of perm. This salon is conveniently located next to my 24 hour fitness gym. Now I'm looking forward to getting the japanese stylist next time I go! Lets just say I'm usually pleased when I get my haircut at Muse, but I'm seldom satisfied. There are definitely better and cheaper places for guys to get their haircut in San Diego. I only go here because it is the closest place to get a haircut. No more korean ladies cutting my hair! I'm gonna ask for the japanese stylist from now on and hopefully I can come back with a better rating review, or else I will no longer associate myself with Muse hair salon. I will go back to Muse hair salon with a few exceptions. I kept having to explain what I wanted the whole time because she didn't understand. ![]() So I explained how I wanted my hair and she had such a hard time understand what I meant so I just told her to cut my hair like I'm going to the army and she laughs and finally starts to cut my hair. Then I told her Cindy always cuts my hair as a sports cut when I ask for it and she has no fucking idea what a sports cut is when that's what she gave me last time. She then asks me what a sports cut is and I'm like WTF you gave me a sports cut last time. So today I went in and guess what I asked for! I asked for a sports cut, with a very high fade with spiky top. This is exactly what I told her last time and she did an excellent job and I was very excited that she was going to cut my hair again today. I ALWAYS come in and ask for a sports cut, with a very high fade with spiky top. Well Gina cut my hair for the second time today and I am never going back if Gina is cutting my hair again. So I've gotten my haircut from here numerous times, mostly by Cindy and once by Gina the last time I went. ![]() 10/3/2023 0 Comments 220 dryer plug wiring![]() ![]() You can do that by inserting the bare wire into the ground bus bar and securing the wire with a screw. Connect the ground or green wire to its bus barĬonnect the ground or green wire from the 220 outlet to the ground bus bar. The sub-panels usually have a separate neutral bus bar from the ground bus bar. Note: The neutral bus bar and the ground bus bar are always the same in every breaker, except in the sub-panel. Fold the remaining wire and tuck it along the panel. Insert the white wire into the neutral bus bar and tighten the screw. Open a knock out on one side of the panel and pass the cable through it. Look for an empty slot in the panel where you will mount the breaker and remove the slot tab. Do not touch any of them to avoid electrocution. Note: The incoming cables from the service lines are live wires. You can do this by placing one probe of the tester on the screw terminal of the breaker, and the other probe on the ground bus bar. Test the branch circuits using your multimeter to confirm the power is off. Loosen the screws holding the panel cover and remove it to expose the wiring. Once you finish installing the 220-volt outlet, proceed to your main breaker panel and turn off the power. Time to install the 30 amp double pole breaker Secure the outlet on the box and cover it. Insert the outlet into the metal box and carefully push the wires inside. Tighten the screw to hold the wire in position. Strip out about 3/4 inches of insulators from the white wire and connect it to the silver colored or neutral terminal of the outlet. Strip about 3/4 inches of insulation from the red and black wires and secure each of them to the brass terminals of the outlet.

Importance of wiring a 220V plug with 4 wires If a dryer or stove is moved to a different home with a different type of outlet, a new cord can be purchased with the correct plug. Purchase the correct cord for the type of outlet in the home. Appliance cords with either a three- or four-prong plug are available at appliance, hardware and home improvement stores. The appliance manufacturer does not know what type of outlet will be in a home, and, therefore, ships appliances without cords. New ranges and clothes dryers do not come with a power cord. In the kitchen, if there is an outlet for an electric range, it will be the same type as for the dryer installation.
