![]() After conservative commentator Ben Shapiro tweeted that his “doctor wife” had diagnosed a WAP as a dangerous medical condition, it occurred to me that it might be fun to speak to an actual medical expert in WAPs, both to weigh in on the truly idiotic discourse and to get her unique take on the song’s important message (that WAPS are great). This weekend, as I listened to “WAP” 400 times and evangelized about it to anyone who would listen, including those in my immediate biological family, I also watched it become a vessel for the banal, performative rage of sad and horny Republicans. Sonically, it is the very embodiment of filthy, delirious joy, a paean to loving your vagina so much that you must dance about it with friends and tigers in a shallow indoor pool. Lyrically, it is Shakespeare by way of Pornhub - an evocative, comedic tour de force, an enviable mastery of both tone and form. I am not afraid to declare that this song is freaking perfect. You know the part in Pulp Fiction where Uma Thurman nearly dies but then John Travolta gives her a shot of adrenaline to the heart and she wakes up gasping and screaming? This barely approximates my reaction to “WAP,” the new song from Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion, which dropped on Friday and woke me from months of pandemic-induced depressive pseudo-slumber. NPR insists that it is better to read the lyrics than to listen to them since the wording and “politics of pleasure” are what make the song great.“Men are constantly bragging about how hard their dicks are and how long they are, but women don’t get to brag about how wet they are.” (Remember, some Americans still get their news from NPR.) ![]() It appears John Lennon’s “Imagine” is in danger of falling to second all-time, as a result. When driving home from work, radio listeners are searching for a “filthy bit of joy” on the radio. “Such a filthy bit of joy may be born of entertainment, but it persists as necessity - fake prudishness be damned.” “At its core, ‘WAP’ is Cardi and Meg’s assertion that their expression, both artistic and sexual, belongs to them and them alone.” Remember that if you are an artist hoping to make the list in 2021. ![]() The blurb goes on: “The backlash, however inseparable from the song’s cultural narrative, only bolsters the argument for its politics of pleasure.” Maybe NPR doesn’t even like those musical features. After all, that is what makes good music, according to NPR.Īs for the beat and rhythm? Who cares. A song is the best as long as the right unnamed “zealots” are bothered by it. The beat and quality of a song are irrelevant. Wait, I thought this is a music list? Wrong. “To no one’s surprise, a pair of women honoring their own ladyparts and the pleasures they dish out and expect returned in spades drew the ire of the insecure, of zealots and moral grandstanders,” NPR explained. Not even close.Īccording to their pandering blurb, “WAP” was the best because it supposedly “drew the ire” of the Americans whom NPR despises. But that’s not why NPR ranked it as such. It’s catchy and great for those, such as Democratic politicians, who are allowed to party with friends. ![]() NPR determined that the best song of 2020 is Cardi B’s “WAP” (“Wet-ass Pussy”), which came in No. NPR, subsidized by taxpayers, is no different. Instead, rankings now depend on how woke the film is, how critical of America the novel is, how bent-Left the historical book reads, and how much a TV show that has nothing to do with race is about race. Outlets no longer judge content on quality. Every December, I used to search for lists ranking the best movies, shows, songs, and books of the year. Creating year-end lists was once a great content idea. ![]() I know it seems confusing, but the best method for setting up your games is to always use the bulit in Profile (if there is one) and leave the NVCP at defaults. Like wise if the FXAA setting is "off" in the Global settings Tab, if a game supports it natively, its Nvidia profile will allow you to enable it with the "in-game" setting, the"Program Tab" profile might disable a Global tab setting (depending on that settings options) but -only- for that games. If you have FXAA set to OFF in the Global Tab, you can certainly force it in the Programs settings Tab. Your not understanding how the Nvidia game profiles "Programs" tab works. I never said it overrides -all- the settings. I can't set it to enabled for a specific game because the global option overrides everything? So I either need to enable it for all games or disable it for all. ![]() ![]() And the global settings for this are on or off. Nvidia FXAA, this can be nice to have in some games, but I want to turn it off in other games. Let's just take an example to make my point a little easier to get I always thought the programs tab was to override the global settings should one have any problems in a game and set individual settings in that particular game that wouln't affect any other games (this is also basically how they describe it in the control panel itself from what I understand). I have seen people discuss that it can cause the cards to downclock if GPU load isn't close to 100%, and cause a short freeze when the game suddenly requires more power from the GPU.Īnd what exactly is the point of having one global settings tab and one specific programs tab, when only the settings in the global tab will happen? They might aswell just remove the programs tab all toghether and just have a global options. ![]() Sure, adaptive could be nice to keep temps down on idle, but from what I've read it doesn't work properly in some games. And that is most likely caused by the power management being set to adaptive. I get freezes in World of Warcraft for example. With that said, If I leave the Nvidia settings to defaults, I get bad results in some games. It's not that I go in there and just change settings to see what it does. I do it for troubleshooting. I appreciate your tips, but first of all, I know very well what each setting in Nvidia control panel are for. *But only if you know exactly what those changes would be If you would post the "games" that you are playing, you might or might not want to make changes to the above. I suggest using the following settings with your hardware levels (*note the below is for using (1) monitor) I highly recommend that you go thru the program tabs and hit the "RESET" button, then after you have erased the "Program Tab" settings changes you made, reset the Global tab to defaults. You have outstanding hardware levels, driver tweaking is really unneeded unless your playing very old games bro Once you start messing around with the settings -without knowing exactly what you are doing, and how that setting will efffect other progarms and games- you are asking for all kinds of problems and issues. Unless your playing a single game thats -really- important to you (that you would "need" to setup the NVCP settings special) then DEFAULT NVCP and Program settings is preferable, and all the in-game options will be available and worrk correctly using the "profiles" contained in the Nvidia driversets. With such a awesome hardware setup like yours, you really shouldnt be making any changes in the NVCP other than setting your Monitors up correctly. And it seems alot more easy to change the global setting to maximum performance, and then set Windows programs to adaptive rather than changing the setting for every game.Ģx EVGA GTX 580 Classified in SLI, Nvidia driver 304.79 betaĤx4GB Corsair Dominator GT 2133MHz quad channelĪny setting in the "Global Tab" will overide most settings in the "Program Tabs". Is this a bug? If not, it seems pointless to have a program tab where one can set specific program overrides when only the global settings will take effect anyway.įor those of you who are asking why I want to set it to maximum performance is because I have noticed periodic, short freezes in games if I leave it on adaptive. The only way I can get my card to downclock is by setting it to adaptive globally. An example, I set it to prefer maximum performance in the global tab, and then set it to adaptive for Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer, the card doesn't downclock at all on idle. If I set power management mode - prefer maximum performance in the global tab, my card will never downclock on idle even if I set it to adaptive for some programs in the program settings tab. So I was playing around with the settings in Nvidia control panel, and here's what I noticed It would be nice if the game included some of the quality-of-life elements present in a game like Kerbal Space Program, namely showing the player the vehicle’s center of mass and center of thrust. One of these included a buggy with upward-facing thrusters that, when driven carefully, allowed it to scale cliffs and other vertical surfaces and even upside-down.Įach part has its own weight, and distribution of weight and thrust is important to creating a functional vehicle. The other vehicles in the blueprints included standard cars as well as helicopters, jet-powered aircraft and insectoid crawlers, as well as some more unique selections. It took a lot of building, tweaking and rebuilding, and shows the diversity possible with the construction system. ![]() My demo experience consisted of over an hour of gameplay, most of which consisted of me trying and eventually succeeding at creating a functional quadcopter. The most interesting use I saw for this was on a crawler that someone created, which used alternating pressing and holding the A, D, G and H keys to make it walk. ![]() Engine parts and certain others allow you to select which elements they will control as well as assigning buttons to forward and reverse. The creation system is straightforward and easy to grasp, and the limited selection of parts at your disposal keeps the system from being overwhelming. There are also preset blueprints, which in the demo were vehicles created by the developers or by players at events, including the vehicle I created during my demo. ![]() According to the developer there will be a goal and the need to scavenge the roughly 100 different parts in the final game, but in the demo players were given free access to roughly 20 different parts to create their own vehicle and play around in the environment. Trailmakers is a game that allows players to create their own vehicle from an assortment of different parts. Now a new game, Trailmakers, is jumping into that ring, and I got a chance to try it out at PAX West 2017. Things like Minecraft and Kerbal Space Program are things I tend to spend a lot of time on, due to their open-ended nature.

![]() It'd be neat as a bite-size prelude to the Italian Campaign, but the story falls flat as anything other than some pretty animatics and a series of decent RTS scenarios. The juxtaposition is poorly handled, failing to show the context of how action in one affects the other. These are two interesting stories, but the way they're presented alongside each other doesn't work. What’s odd is that, interleaved with those scenarios, is the story of the war as narrated by a North African Jewish family that has been split apart by the German-Italian invasion and conquest, showing how Nazi and Fascisti occupation so devastated those communities that they barely exist today. You play as Rommel's Afrika Korps, fighting marquee battles from the Germans’ very successful campaigns of 19. It's all very visually similar to the setup of the Total War series. ![]() It has theoretically complex systems in which your armies – called companies (with heroes in them) – capture towns and ports using deployable air power and naval fleet movements, and build emplacements to defend territory or provide offensive bonuses in battles. The larger one is the Italian Campaign, a broad, turn-based strategic mode on a large map of central and southern Italy that has you capture territory town by town, and took me about 25 hours to complete the first time around. There are actually two single-player campaigns in CoH3. While individual missions and scenarios within the strategic sandbox are strong and even thrilling at times, almost every feature on the strategic map doesn't work, either because it's bugged or because it's such middle-of-the-road game design that it's simply boring. What I'm very displeased about is that the ambitious Italian campaign mode is incredibly disappointing. I'm pleased to say that Company of Heroes 3 implements those series fundamentals quite well in a gentle remix that brings the series to diverse theaters of World War 2 that it hadn't touched yet. The Company of Heroes series is near and dear to my heart – all three of them are real-time strategy games that cut to the core of the genre, focusing on overarching strategic decisions coupled with tactical troop movements and a battlefield that truly matters. The contents of this article are entirely independent and solely reflect the editorial opinion of PC Gamer.Writing this review hurt my feelings. PC Gamer created this content as part of a paid partnership with Sega. With Company of Heroes 3, Relic's solution is simple-why not have both? Retaining the essence of a game while introducing new ideas is always one of the toughest challenges of sequel design, and every developer has its own approach to the problem. As Rommel's army carves a path of destruction through Libya and Egypt, the campaign always keeps one eye on the effect the war had on the local people. Through letters between Salima and her father, who is fighting Rommel with the British, you'll hear about the impact the war has on Salima's life, and the people of North Africa as a whole. It follows the story of Salima, a teenage Jewish Berber girl. The campaign's linear sequence of missions charts some of the most notable events of the Africa campaign, such as El Alamein and the Battle of Gazala, which saw Rommel advance through a British minefield in an area known as "the Cauldron" before assaulting and capturing the port of Tobruk.Īlthough the missions focus on the successes and failures of Rommel and his Afrika Korps, the campaign's narrative charts a different path. ![]() This campaign puts you in the driving seat of Erwin Rommel's Afrika Korps as the Desert Fox attempts to push the British off the continent. Italy represents a very different take on campaign design in Company of Heroes, but if you're hankering after some classic singleplayer strategy, then the North African Operation is for you. Just thot I'd give Faust1587 a glimmer of hope before hitting the hay. "What U Hear"is alive and well on my system, without my old SoundBlaster card and without any Monster Cables, just so you know John. Frankly, I think I have been able to get it working on any PC system I've ever had using XP in the past. To summarize, if you have an onboard soundcard that has anything that resembles a "Stereo Mix"input and Win7 like I do, I think you should be able to record directly from PC audio into a Sonar track like I can. If you don't realize that you might conclude that your onboard card is only capable of generating a lot of white noise. Up in the Left hand corner there is a blank image of a blue shadow of an xbox avatar im wondering where i go to change this image or is it just generally. Using Auto Quote from an Opportunity Alternatively, you can create the new quote record by using Auto Quote from an opportunity. At least that was my situation, so be warned.Īs well, when it comes to recording PC audio into Sonar, you have to turn down the master playback level to way below 100%, so that it doesn't clip when you record. Create the Quote record in one of two ways: Starting a Quote You can create a new quote record manually from a number of screens. ![]() Bottom line, you can't just enable and disable the inputs you want, like you would think. I'm not sure if that was a Win7 or soundcard issue, but once I figured it out, I didn't care. Took a fair amount of head-banging before I figured out that little secret. ![]() To get my stereo mix setting to work in Win7 like a "What U Hear", I recently figured out that I had to disable all the other possible inputs on my onboard soundcard, before it would release Stereo Mix from "Currently Unavailable" and allow it to become Ready to become the default device. Southwestern Union Conference: Adventist sp Revi ew SOUTHWESTERN UNION Christ asks quot Am I in Your Christmas quot Record Review December A FOCUS ON. Just got through testing using the SoundMax chip on the motherboard, set the Audio drivers to MME in Sonar and fiddled with the Win7 controls that manage audio devices, and I can get Sonar to record the audio of Keith Urban on YouTube into a track directly in Sonar from my stereo mix" setting. ![]() Its all about those dinos in the end though? If you’re here for that then you’ll enjoy this linear romp through each island. Lego Jurassic World is fun even though some of the human characters are lackluster and boring. I recommend picking this game up if you haven’t played it and have played Lego games before. All in all, it is the definitive Jurassic Park game with tons of replayability and a neat dinosaurs creation mode once you’ve collected the right DNA pieces. The light-hearted tone and comedic elements help sell this game towards families who want to play with dinosaurs. Playing on the Switch means that you’ll always have a second player controller handy when playing with friends and family. Lego Jurassic World is a good port and it doesn’t seem like a visual downgrade when compared to the Xbox One and PS4 versions. If you’ve played Lego games before, then you’re in for more of the same. Lego Jurassic World’s walls are clear on where you can or can’t go, which is a shame considering that it would have been fun to make your dino and explore these islands on a bigger scale. Lego Dimensions made sure that each property included in the initial wave had a huge world to explore. It works well enough as a portable experience but again shows a step backward for Lego games even though it creates a consistent and even pace for Lego Jurassic World. Lego Jurassic World’s open-world is limiting when considering how TT Games made huge open worlds for Batman and Marvel. Once the story is complete, you can access all of the story levels in Free Play to unlock hidden items, new characters, and Amber pieces. Lego Jurrasic World is a semi-open world with each story level unlocking a new section of the map. Jurrasic World’s island is its own world even though it is supposed to take place on Isla Nubar. Players can access all parts of Isla Nubar and Isla Sorna with the looks of their respective movies, which include Jurassic Park, The Lost World, and Jurassic Park 3. Lego Jurassic World does include several islands with tons of collectibles, mini-quests, and unlockables to pursue. The Jurassic World section seems to be the best fleshed-out considering that the levels felt longer and had more phases to them. In many ways, this game does a better job at summarizing most of the movies than the movies themselves. Lego Jurassic World does the franchise justice by having some fun and making the movies kid-friendly. ![]() Other times you’ll have NPCs making funny side comments about their current predicament within a level. TT Fusion gives that scene a nod when Lego characters shrug, in unison, during that exact moment. One of the people hiding is startled by a snake, ruining the safety of the waterfall, only to be eaten by said ferocious dinosaur outside. There’s a famous scene in which people are running away from a T. One particular moment that stood out for me was in The Lost World section. Directed by Spielberg, the film is widely beloved for its visual effects, sound design, musical score (courtesy of John Williams), and more.TT Fusion creates scenarios both through cutscenes and during gameplay to address or poke fun at inconsistencies in Jurassic Park franchise. Starring Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum and Richard Attenborough, discover the breathtaking adventure you will want to experience again and again.” Welcome (back) to Jurassic Parkīased on the 1990 novel of the same name by Michael Crichton, Jurassic Park was released in June 1993. ![]() ![]() Jurassic Park takes you to an amazing theme park on a remote island where dinosaurs once again roam the earth and five people must battle to survive among the prehistoric predators. “Featuring Academy Award-winning visual effects and groundbreaking filmmaking that has been hailed as “a triumph of special effects artistry” (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times), this epic film is sheer movie-making magic that was 65 million years in the making. “Experience one of the biggest films in motion picture history with director Steven Spielberg‘s ultimate thrill ride, Jurassic Park,” Regal Movies’ description of the re-release reads.
