This was the famous long-standing bridge bearing not only a church and houses, but also the heads of traitors preserved in tar and mounted on stakes. This one lasted six centuries, but it still caught on fire and nearly collapsed a few times. In 1014 more Viking invaders decided the bridge was in the way of their tall ships, so they tied ropes to it and rowed at full speed to help the bridge wash away.Verse Three: "Build it up with bricks and mortar, bricks and mortar, bricks and mortar." The first stone construction began in 1176 and took thirty years to finish. Whoops! Wood and clay will wash away, wash away, wash away. The English won by pulling down the Danish garrison and the bridge along with it. As London has grown it has continually reclaimed the riverbank and funneled the river into a tighter channel, causing no small floods in the lower-laying areas.Now, London Bridge first fell down and became a song when the English were fighting Viking invaders from Denmark. During Roman times the River Thames was much wider and shallower than it is today, so you could get away with mud hopping. The Romans were nice enough to build the first one, probably using a combination of floating platforms and walkways. Overview and History"When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life for there is in London all that life can afford." - Samuel JohnsonDo you know all the verses to the children's song, "London Bridge is falling down"? They will take you through the history of London so let's have a look, shall we?First we need a bridge, in order for it to fall down.

Plus, a LastPass Premium account costs all of $1 per month, making it an extremely compelling option. Among the cloud options, I’m split: I like LastPass for its low cost and its consistent implementation of features across all of the clients, but I prefer Dashlane’s approach to securing passwords.Įach LastPass client I tested was easy to work with, stable, and remarkably uniform from a usability perspective. KeePass is free open source, and with the right combination of plug-ins, it can be made to do almost anything you could require of a password manager. In my judgment, KeePass is the best of the options using local storage. If you trust cloud-based services with your passwords and you believe they will protect your data using good security practices and encryption, then Dashlane and LastPass are the top choices. If having your critical data stored in a cloud service worries you, then KeePass, 1Password, and SplashID Safe (sans SplashID’s cloud service) are the best options. Deciding which password manager is best for you will come down to features and ease of use, as well as to whether you’re comfortable using a cloud-based password manager that stores your passwords on the Internet. Some of the options using local storage (such as KeePass and 1Password) still support synchronization through Dropbox or other storage services. Some password managers store your credentials locally, while others rely on cloud services for storage and synchronization, and still others take a hybrid approach. In some cases, usernames and passwords must be copied from the password manager into the browser, reducing the ease of use but increasing the level of security by requiring entry of the master password before accessing stored login information. Further, using these stored credentials is typically automated using a browser plug-in, which recognizes the website’s username and password fields, then populates these fields with the appropriate login information.Īlthough several browsers offer similar functionality out of the box, password managers typically offer several benefits over the built-in browser functionality-including encryption, cross-platform and cross-browser synchronization, mobile device support, secure sharing of credentials, and support for multifactor authentication. Other options for populating your password database include importing an Excel spreadsheet or manually entering your login information. Many password managers allow you to automatically populate your password vault by capturing your web logins using a browser plug-in and allowing you to store these credentials. These strong passwords help shield against traditional password attacks such as dictionary, rainbow tables, or brute-force attacks. A password manager will generate a unique strong password for every account and application, without requiring you to memorize or write down these random strings of characters. It’s one of the easiest too.Ī password manager is an excellent first step in securing your online identity, helping you increase the strength of the passwords that protect your online accounts because it will remember those passwords for you. One of the smarter moves we can make to protect ourselves is to use a password manager. Thanks to the continuous barrage of high-profile computer security scares and reports of cloud-scale government snooping, more of us Internet users are wising up about the security of our information. That brings me to the biggest downsides of the experience. While I think the Safe Mode is a good thing for those who want to enjoy the story, it also kills the tension during these encounters since you can just walk off and do your thing without them getting in your way. Still, there’s a Safe Mode difficulty that has the monsters spawn for a Jumpscare from time to time, but they will not chase or attempt to kill you. Dying doesn’t set you back too far, thanks to auto-saves before the chases even occur. On top of that, some moments you’ll have to run away from monsters whenever they rear their heads at you as the Actor is utterly defenseless against them and can die in one hit. Also, some places, items, and occurrences play homage to some of the best horror movies of all time, like The Shining. It’s a really cool part of the gameplay experience. Along the way, the game will play a good amount of mind games and tricks on the player during their exploration, from shutting doors to messing around with your current surroundings and even make you end up in surreal places that don’t even resemble the cruise ship. Everything takes place in the first person, with controls taking a little getting used to when it comes to movement. When it comes to gameplay, players explore their surroundings, examine items and solve puzzles to progress through the cruise ship. The sound design does its job of creating a foreboding and haunting atmosphere relatively well, aside from one particular thing I’ll get into a bit later. The performance of the Director stands out with the chilling and haunting delivery of their dialogue. Sound-wise the voice acting is great for each character. On top of that, the game performs surprisingly well with an option to have it run at 30FPS or a “No Limit” mode which allows it to run at an uncapped framerate that may dip at certain moments but maintains a smooth performance overall. The various locations you’ll visit throughout the experience also look detailed and clean. Graphically, Layers Of Fear 2 looks impressive on the Switch, which usually has games take a hit in the visual department. The writing here is well-done, but the pacing could have been better in certain spots, especially when it comes to the backstory of a few characters. If that’s not bad enough, nightmares from the past about a brother and sister who were playing pirates on the ship unfold throughout the narrative. This all leads to the actor being lead down the rabbit hole and into a descent of madness as all sorts of unsettling and strange events occur. He initially accepted a call from an enigmatic and mysterious director who provides instructions to become the leading role in one of their films. In Layers Of Fear 2, the player takes the role of an unnamed Hollywood actor who finds himself on a sinking ship, literally not metaphorically. While the game does deliver in some of these aspects, the experience is held back by a few design choices. Layers Of Fear 2 has made its way onto the Nintendo Switch and aims to deliver a great psychological thriller-horror experience on the handheld console. invested heavily in my gaming set up (top end mobo, replaced Razer peripherals with non-bloatware brands) I have tried everything on the internet to try and fix this. Also, as the swiss guy mentioned, my latency increases by around 10 and have long suspected this is due to some kind of ISP traffic shaping. The same guy is was dominating in warmup and early rounds is now prefiring me constantly, my spray patterns are bizarre and enemies i do manage to kill, die half a second after I've released the mouse button. My hit detection in warmup is usually on point winning easily most 1v1s but early on in the match something changes. My loss and choke are always 0% with very little Var. I have 900MBs FTTH (foolishly believing it'd help my CS game). I used to be a stable DMG but now constantly float around GN4-MG2.įirst off, I have exactly the same symptoms as others have mentioned, especially the Swiss guy. I was an admin on a Pub server in CS:Source and now have over 2k hrs in CS:GO. History: I've played CS since 1.6 been obsessed since. Stumbled upon this post and signed up to this forum just to share my thoughts/findings from over the years. More people including me will describe exact same issues as you in most online games. And go in the "Rare/Electrical Issues Affecting Latency - Interference, EMI, EMF". It just feels something is wrong in windows itself.Īnyway, I believe there is something more universal to this than just one game and also I know for a fact that many many players just can't put this to words or don't find anyone who could understand this problem. Sometimes you can feel the game is going to be shitty just by moving your mouse on windows desktop or doing other stuff. It's almost scary as if there is something learning or memorizing the changes that make the game better/crisp and the more you do it, the less it works until it doesn't work at all. But it only lasts for about 15 minutes tops, from there on, the usual begins. Out of many temporary fixes (e.g changing settings, reinstalling, freezing the game for a few secs) There is only one thing that almost always works if I want good hitregs and that is keeping the game open for 35 minutes and then joining a server. I know in CS there are exactly the same problems, even though BF42 is ancient in comparison. But it doesn't really matter at this point. The pleasure: opposite of all of the above, too much to write down. Bottom line: it makes you feel like there is something wrong with you. The misery: recoil is completely out of place, the dumbest of enemies outsmart me, prefire on corners, move faster than I could possibly aim, disappear, the game looks pixellated or just bad when looking around, moving/strafing feels like stuck in a swamp. I've been playing the same game for over 15 years and I've become very aware of these crazy changes that happen randomly, after tweaks, after moving etc I know this is about CS here, but I believe it goes beyond that game and happens in many if not all fps games. What I am reading here describes exactly my experience in another game. While you are at it, you can put in one or two large dollar amount prizes as a way of asking really close family and friends to back you and help you cross the line early! This reality, of course, depends solely on the number you set as your initial fundraising goal. Also, perception is the reality, so being able to say that you’re 250% funded, for example, after only one week will get people’s attention - including the press. We discovered that hitting your goal on Day 1 or Day 2 may result in you becoming a “Project We Love’ and you’ll get featured on Kickstarter both on the homepage and the “Project We Love” section. But internally, we had a goal-reaching $100,000. We looked at the length of other successful campaigns in terms of word count and pictures, and we tried to mimic their length and style. We invested heavily in branding and design and were meticulous with the copy. That means all the copy, photos, the video, basically anything visual. So we shared our ButcherBox Kickstarter Playbook with them, and we are sharing it with you too.īy Mike Salguero and Mike Filbey GENERAL ADVICE Once we blew by our initial goal of $25,000 - in 24 hours - and ended up raising more than $210,000 in the campaign, we had a bunch of contacts start reaching out to us for advice and wanting to talk about what worked. Kickstarter is a great way to take the temperature of any potential market for almost any business idea. Kickstarter confirmed for us that ButcherBox was not only a good idea but that we had the right timing to launch. We had no idea what the demand might be for grass-fed meat, and the market ended up being very receptive. Campaigns are really fun and challenging. It is fascinating, looking back, how much we learned and how much of a science a Kickstarter campaign can be. So we wanted to make sure we remembered the nuggets of insight we picked up through the process. But it also started as something else, since the beginning of ButcherBox we thought about potentially launching another product or service through Kickstarter at some point. It was a brain dump of the most valuable things we learned. When we launched our Kickstarter campaign in 2015, we created a shareable document that we thought would be a good repository for the things we were learning in the run-up to, launch, and conclusion of our campaign. Otaku is more likely to be a self-identified group outside of Japan, whereas anime nerds are less likely to perceive it negatively. Due to its negative connotation and possible offenses, this term can be considered derogatory in Japan. Otaku includes different anime or anime music genres of Japanese genres of music spotted and showcased on Spotify. Otaku describes someone whose interests are consumed by these areas beyond what is considered a “geek.” ‘Toku’ is a Japanese word for someone deeply interested in animal culture. However, its purposes are far minimum than negative outside of Japan, where anime nerds can be more likely to self-identify as an Otaku. Therefore, the Otacore genre can be considered a derogatory term in Japan, with negative connotations and sound offensive to people. The English word “geek” would have similar meaning, but the word Otaku goes a step further to describe one that has consuming interests in these areas. “Otaku” is a Japanese word that describes people with an obsessive interest in animal culture. It is quite a loose genre, encompassing a specific area of interest rather than a particular musical style. Otacore sounds like pop and electronic music genres commonly associated with anime. You can also get your lyrics on Spotify to attract your audience. The genre showed up the Japanese artist on Spotify at the top of the end-of-year Spotify Wrapped summary for many anime fans. The main reason is that Spotify added it as a specific genre to describe certain anime music. The music term “core” is used as a label for any hardcore music.įor over the last few years, many music enthusiasts around the internet have been confused as to what Otacore means. It is a short form of the Japanese word “Otaku,” which roughly translates to a “geek” with consuming interests in anime. Otacore is a Japanese music genre heavily influenced by Japanese anime culture. Otacore Music Definition: Otacore is a name mentioned by the Every Noise at Once project in conjunction with Spotify to describe music with heavy origin or basis in fan communities, such as anime. Then try an Allo device, Sonore, or something in that class. Now move on to Raspberry Pi Roon endpoint. I wouldn’t be surprised if you prefer Audirvana directly on the Mac. Load the same FLAC (or whatever) on the Core and in Audirvana. Set-up a core per reference (a server far away from your listening room connected via hardwire ethernet). Of all the ways to stream music on a local network RAAT is a bit heavier than most.īut, this is a super easy test and one I did a few years back as I transitioned from Audirvana to Roon. contributes to better SQ then that speculation may hold true. If you believe that lower cpu frequencies, lower latency, leaner network stack, etc. There is also some speculation that RAAT, being a bit heavier of a protocol than others, may contribute to a higher workload at the endpoint. Roon believes bit-perfect delivery is the end-goal. the audio path on Mac (and now Windows?) It’s a very different philosophy. Roon isn’t interested in being better than “bit-perfect”.Īudirvana has years of tweaks to their software to bypass, lower latency, prioritize, etc. What it sounds like at that point is sole responsibility of the endpoint. It guarantees that what leaves the Core is bit-perfect at the endpoint. Roon’s position is that Roon Advanced Audio Transport (RAAT) is bit-perfect. They don’t go near sound quality within that certification. They have a very deep Partner program of Roon Ready devices but, from my understanding, they supply an SDK and make sure the manufacturer conforms to the requirements of the program. They don’t recommend you plug DACs into Nucleus but it is supported. And, to be honest, Roon’s “hardware footprint” is limited to Nucleus. Personal experience and spending way way too much time on the Roon forums. Is there a review you’ve gleaned this from? Pay attention to the tense of the clue along with whether it is looking for a pluralized form of the answer, as this can help you narrow down word ending choices (so you can look for one that ends in a D for past tense, for example). There are also more typical word endings like -ed, -er, -ly, and -ing. These can include prefixes like: co, com, con, re, pre, and suffixes like: tion, ity, er, ism, ant, age. Look for common prefixes and suffixes when you are working on finding an answer for a longer answer (like 9 letters). There’s no harm in guessing, since the game is not timed and there is no penalty for guessing wrong. 6 letters in length, typically 2 words together), and try taking the first set of possible answer letters and then adding the remaining choices, one by one, until you feel like you’ve found something that clicks in your brain as a possibility.

Pretty rich considering he threatens MC's life twice in the main story for angering him. Lucifer, who transforms into a wolf, smugly states that he has more control over himself than his brothers. Hypocrite: In the Paws and Claws event story, when the brothers start developing animal features, they panic that they might want to eat/hurt MC because of their animal urges (particularly Mammon and Beelzebub, who get turned into a tiger and a lion, respectively).Horned Humanoid: Has a pair of large, black, curved horns.High-Class Gloves: He apparently has painted nails like his brothers and Diavolo, but they're always covered by black gloves (in his casual and school outfits) or red gloves (in his demon form).Hidden Depths: He's still deeply wounded by Lilith's death and it's implied this is why he's so protective of his brothers now.If you choose to kiss him, it is quite heavily implied that Lucifer and the MC have sex before they return to the human world. Fade to Black: A mix of this and Sexy Discretion Shot. Fallen Angel: The most famous one in myth, at that.Despair Event Horizon: One unbeknownst to his brothers, when he agrees to be Diavolo's right-hand man in order to have a dying Lilith reborn into a human that they can never see again.Dark Is Not Evil: He's one of the highest-ranking demons, but calling him outright evil is a stretch.And it's one he's kept secret for centuries too. "Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: If Lucifer had told his brothers the truth about Lilith from the start, the whole plot could have gone in a completely different direction.Coat Cape: Wears his longcoat in his casual clothes like this.The few times where there aren't any strings usually means things have hit the fan. Blue Is Heroic: His Color Motif is blue, but this trope is played with, in that Lucifer's acts of heroism usually come with strings attached, being a demon and all.Part of the reason why he flipped out over Luke finding the grimoire was because he was afraid of what would happen to his brothers should it fall into the wrong hands. Big Brother Instinct: He is quite protective of his younger siblings.A favorite seems to be hanging Mammon upside down for an indeterminate amount of time. Bewildering Punishment: His punishments of Mammon frequently cross into this territory.However, as the story progresses and the MC helps Lucifer through some unforeseen circumstances, he begins to genuinely care for them. Becoming the Mask: His initial affability and politeness toward the protagonist are at first a product of wanting Diavolo's exchange program to go smoothly, and during the retreat, if the MC says they want to be good friends with all of the brothers he outright says that isn't what he wants.Badass in a Nice Suit: Has both the badassery and the classy fashion sense in spades.
