![]() You can find the updated sound DLL in the official patch that I attached to this post.ħ) You might not need the sound patch, but I noticed that some of the random crashes, loading screen freezes and cutscene video freezes on my computer were sound related. If the game starts in a small rectangle on the top left side of the screen, choose "Centered, Keep Aspect Ratio" or "Stretched, Keep Aspect Ratio" as the scaling setting of dgVoodoo2.Ħ) Third party installer contains the latest EXE patch for the game, but it does not include the sound DLL patch. Just replace it with the latest version of dgVoodoo2.ĥ) If the game does not start, make sure to check "Fast Video Memory Access" setting on dgVoodoo2 control panel. I recommend C:\Games\PodRacerĤ) Installer contains an old version of dgVoodoo2. It contains everything you need to get the game up and running (official patch, dgVoodoo2, LAN multiplayer fix, widescreen fix, single core affinity fix)ġ) Download the third party installer created by SagaraS from the link below.ģ) Install the game to a location where user account protection will not cause any problems. Installation Using Third Party Installer (Highly Recommended) File download links are down, but I got them from another internet archive FTP link. Patch includes separate game exes for each version and a sound DLL that works with both versions. Lucas Arts released a patch for the USA and International versions of the game. If you have the single CD version and if it is in English, you surely have the US English version. There is also a DVD version named "Star Wars Episode I DVD Collection" that contains 3 games: Star Wars Episode I Racer, Star Star Wars Episode I The Phantom Menace, Star Wars Episode 1 Insider's Guide. International versions are in foreign languages (Spanish, French, Italian, Russian, etc.). The most widely available one is the US English version. There are multiple versions of this game. ![]() This game is a prime candidate for inclusion into GOG catalog by using dgVoodoo2. I will try to update the bug list as people keep reporting bugs. I summarized the bugs in a separate short post below. The game works well via dgVooodo2 but there are some remaining bugs. You will get white screen or black screen in 3D scenes if you try to run the game natively. The game does not work natively on most modern systems. I hope we can share tips, tricks and bug reports for this game on this thread. I tested all these on Windows 7 Ultimate Edition 64bit OS. This will mostly be a guide to running the game via dgVoodoo2 since this is the dgVoodoo2 forum, but I will also talk about other Vogons projects that can be complementary. I want to dedicate this thread to "Star Wars Episode I: Racer" (aka Podracer) game.

Now, 3 years later, independent video game developer Brandon D. ![]() Waukesha Fire and Police departments later arrived and escorted her to the hospital, where she spent six days recovering from her injuries and has since returned to school. She managed to crawl out to a nearby road, where she was rescued by a cyclist. On May 31st, 2014, Anissa Weier and Morgan Geyser - two 12-year-old girls living in Waukesha, Wisconsin, lured classmate Payton Leutner and stabbed her 19 times before leaving her for dead. From 2012 to early 2014, Slender Man was one of the most popular figures in modern pop culture. Slender Man, a fictional supernatural character featured in countless games, books, photos, and even an upcoming Hollywood full-length feature film. The next project based on the Slenderman mythos, is Slender: The Arrival developed by Blue Isle Studios, distributed by Parsec Productions, it has arrived. The ending of the game varies depending on which version is being played, but in no version is the player able to defeat Slender Man. If the player loses all sanity, the game ends with the view being replaced with a static-covered close up of Slender Man. Sanity loss is represented by static and distortion appearing on the screen. The player loses health (referred to as "sanity" in the original design) any time they can see Slender Man, or whenever Slender Man is too close to the player. The game also varies the background sound effects each time an odd-numbered page is collected. After 6 pages, he can teleport into the player's view. Each time a page is collected, or a particular amount of time elapses, the interval between Slender Man's teleports reduces and the maximum range decreases. If Slender Man obtains an unbroken line of sight to the player, he instead starts to move a distance towards the player each interval or half-interval, until he catches the player or can no longer see them. ![]() Once he has appeared, Slender Man teleports at regular intervals between randomly selected locations, within a maximum range of the player, that are outside of the player's view. The game's enemy, Slender Man, does not usually appear until the player collects their first page, although it is highly possible. The player cannot interact with the environment in any other way apart from the movement controls, the only controls available are to turn the flashlight on and off, pick up a page, and run. ![]() The objective of the game is for the player to find eight notes ("pages") which are attached to various landmarks around the environment. Dirt paths are present, but the player is able to travel in any direction and is only bound by fences which enclose the area. There are 10 different landmarks scattered throughout the woods including vehicles, a building, a giant tree, rocks, brick walls, a stone pillar, a tunnel, cut down trees, and fuel tanks. The player is able to jog for a short period before running out of breath. The player is equipped with a flashlight that has a battery which must be conserved. Slender: The Eight Pages begins with the player in a forest at night. Your next stop is on the Crew Deck, which you unlock in Chapter 10. Once again, though, you'll have to wait for a while before you can wrap this up. One is a sweet conversation between Nicole and Isaac, which is worth listening to if you're looking for some story context, but the other is what we're here to find. Inside Storage 2, listen to both the audio logs. ![]() It's full of Swarmers, but has a valuable Ruby Semiconductor inside.) (It's also worth checking Storage 1 if you're in decent shape. The circuit breaker at the end of the hall lets you open 3 of the 4 doors, but the one we're after is Storage 2. The door they were protecting leads to Secure Storage, which is as overgrown as anywhere else on this floor. Instead, use the nearby stash of fuel tanks to take them out with minimal difficulty. Of the two accessible doors, one is bracketed by Guardians, so it's tempting to turn around and go the other way. When you reach the lowest level on the elevator, Maintenance, you'll find most of it is overgrown by corruption. Interact with the table in the center of the room to watch the hologram recording of Nicole, as she performs an autopsy on a particularly unlucky crew member.Īfter this, "Scientific Methods" ends up on pause until you gain access to the Mining Deck in Chapter 7. Nicole's next stop, and yours, is the Calibration Room on the Engineering Deck, which is first available in Chapter 3. ![]() You can move it aside to reveal a room that Nicole repurposed into a deprogramming suite. Doing so reveals a stretch of the wall that has a kinesis icon on it. This requires you to activate the circuit breaker in the same room and turn on the seemingly-useless Shower. (Note: if you do this before you visit Nicole's office, you'll end up jumping past the first step, which won't affect your ability to complete the side mission.) One of the operating tables has a hologram of Nicole that will give you a mission objective of following her. The next step along the chain is to find Nicole's secret office in the Diagnostics Room, which is the next step along the chain. When Isaac enters Nicole's office in the Medical Lab, he'll try and ping her RIG, which sends him on a series of attempts to track down her current location. The intended way to begin "Scientific Methods" appears to be in Chapter 2 when you reach the Medical Deck. You also receive an upgrade for the Force Gun for completing the chain, so it's worth pursuing this side mission even if you're not at all interested in Dead Space's story. Conversely, "Scientific Methods" really wants you to find the start of its chain, but finishing it can be difficult unless you're particularly thorough about searching every nook and cranny on the Ishimura.Īs with a lot of side missions in the Dead Space remake, "Scientific Methods" lets you unlock and explore a couple of rooms on the ship that would otherwise be inaccessible, and some of those rooms can contain valuable resources like Semiconductors. With a lot of the side missions in Dead Space, the trick is coming across the trigger that starts them.

Rave ThreadsHigh quality Rave Threads inspired Coffee Mugs by independent.

But when has working hard ever provided someone with the same gentle vibes as a warm drink and a good night’s sleep? To some, the grind is inherently fulfilling, and plenty of people find meaning and purpose in their work. LinkedIn’s broetry posters and deplatformed misogynist Andrew Tate say you’re dissatisfied with life because you’re not working hard enough. Still, there’s something highly compelling about the leisurely pace of her life. Her TikToks show her doing household laundry and cooking, the unpaid and often dreaded chores involving physical and mental energy that are so often overlooked when considering the contributions of women to family life. We do know that her captions have declared “ every day is a self care day” and celebrated the “ acts of service” she’s able to do for her boyfriend (as well as the money she’s able to spend). We know nothing of her educational or health status that might impact her ability to work outside of the home. It could just be something she tries to romanticize on TikTok while she works on her next endeavor, or maybe she has passive income streams. ![]() We don’t know if being a stay-at-home girlfriend, dependent on someone who isn’t legally liable for her, is her life dream. Kay did not return BuzzFeed News’ request for comment, and she hasn’t responded to the criticisms. We’ve entered the era of the sleepytime girlfriend. This coffee meme perfectly represents what all of us coffee addicts look like on a Monday morning before work.

Play the sequel of Temple Run and keep running to escape from the Temple Guardian! ![]() The addition of the guide to the 3D Mario series has been a bit controversial, but as with New Super Mario Bros. Luckily, this can be upgraded to a gold power star if you beat the stage later on your own, easily eliminating the silver stars - five of these can be used to forge one power star. Beyond the regular gold power stars earned in stages and used to get the ship from stage-to-stage, Galaxy 2 also has bronze stars, which are awarded for finishing a level with the CPU-controlled guide. As a result, the thrill of having the fire flower and looking forward to blasting your foes to kingdom come, or grabbing the raccoon suit and leaping over a level is gone. They’re there simply to make it possible to beat the area you can use them in instead of actually given Mario an advantage. The only qualms I have with the power-ups is that unlike the 2D Marios, where they truly did give you an advantage, Galaxy 2 continues Galaxy 1’s trend of only using the power-ups in set levels. These areas don’t make up the bulk of the game, but do provide a little bit of an extra thrill for those that recognize the homages. There's even a galaxy that recreates the Whomp's Fortress stage from Super Mario 64. Another area doesn’t use the drill hat, but does require Mario to ride atop a ball and take part in Monkey Ball-esque plat forming. The new power-ups also open up some homages to gaming’s past, with the drill suit unlocking an area that pays homage to Dug Dug in a side-scrolling area that requires you to dig further to progress and beat foes in order to do so. The cloud suit allows you to create up to three cloud platforms, while the drill suits gives you the ability to drill through soft soil to defeat enemies or reach new areas, and the rock suit basically turns Mario into a stone bowling ball to destroy enemies or bowling pins, depending on the situation. New to Galaxy 2 are the cloud suit, drill suit, and rock suit power-ups. ![]() Like Galaxy, there’s a lot of variety here, with levels ranging from the usual side-scrolling fare to the circular planet stages that throw you off with their overhead views. Like the first Galaxy, you’ll take Mario (or Luigi if you‘d prefer) through dozens of platforming levels along with some bonus stages to mix things up. Now, they’re all clearly labeled and you can go from stage to stage at will - a massive improvement that makes your progress much easier to keep track of. The clunky world map from that game has been done away with, and while you still use the point to select stages, it’s now done with the more traditional over world map found in SMB 3, World, and the later 2D side-scrolling Marios instead of the cumbersome Galaxy 1 method of requiring you to explore the observatory to find stages. It’s fun to just run around and explore this area, and it’s more fun to do this here than just explore the bland observatory area from the first game. Chia Mario looks awesome and is outfitted with a respawning chance die that allows you to either snag a 1-up or a star bit, and an area that Yoshi can explore once you’ve found him, as well as a chance game for 1-ups at the cost of 30 star bits. You’ve got to reach her on your fancy new spaceship that the lumas from the first game, along with a new one that looks like the Grimace, have fashioned into a hub world that doubles as a playable version of Mario’s head, only with green hair. Galaxy 1’s top-shelf gameplay has been retained and improved with sharper controls, the improved camera that makes plat forming easier, and a marvelous execution of Yoshi that makes great use of the Wii remote to integrate him perfectly into the 3D Marios.Mario must once again save Princess Peach, who’s been kidnapped by the biggest Bowser yet and taken to the center of the universe, literally. ![]() Galaxy 2 follows in the footsteps of the original by providing more of the same platforming action found there, but provides a better overall experience because it improves some nagging issues from the original - namely its occasionally-problematic camera controls and streamlining the bloated stage select setup. Despite some awkward camera issues and a clunky over world, the game still raised the bar for 3D platformers not just for Wii, but for all of gaming. It also introduced new items like star bits that acted as both currency and a projectile attack. Three years ago, Mario hit the Wii with a remarkable 3D entry that brought a ton of innovation to the series through its spherical level designs that fit the galaxy moniker well. ![]() In the meantime, if you're savvy enough to be reading this article, we suggest you stick with a good password manager. ![]() We're hoping to see FIDO expand its current plan to allow third parties to generate and manage keys as well. That is a single point of failure, which, historically in the tech world, does not bode well. Passkeys are managed by your device, which means the tech company behind your device–namely Apple, Google, and Microsoft. The biggest is that you are going to be putting all your eggs in a single basket as it were. That said, there are some significant downsides to what the FIDO Alliance has come up with so far. If millions of people suddenly stop using 12345678 as a password, that’s a win for security. While passkeys aren’t a radical departure, they’re still an improvement by virtue of being pre-installed for people who aren’t going to read this article and immediately sign up to use one of the services below. Your device compares that to the private key it has and you're signed in (or not if the keys don't match). If you are familiar with GPG keys, they’re somewhat similar in that there’s a public and private key the website you want to log in to has a public key and sends it to your device. Since Passkeys are generated key pairs instead of passwords, there's nothing to remember. Passkeys will eventually also function with Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon’s systems. ![]() Google has already rolled out Passkey support in Android and Chrome. Websites and services need to support the FIDO Alliance’s protocols, which, at the moment, most don’t. Passkeys have been available since iOS 16 and MacOS Ventura, but there are some limitations. Apple will store them in iCloud’s Keychain so they’re synced across devices, and they work in Apple’s Safari web browser. Passkeys are generated cryptographic keys managed by your device. It’s still early days, but Apple has implemented the FIDO protocols in what the company calls passkeys. The latest effort to get rid of the password comes from the FIDO Alliance, an industry group aimed at standardizing authentication methods online. Passwords are a pain-you’ll get no argument here-but we don’t see them going away in the foreseeable future. ![]() Passkeys, FIDO, and the ‘Death of the Password’Ī concerted effort to get rid of the password began roughly two days after the password was invented. Read our guide to VPN providers for more ideas on how you can upgrade your security, as well as our guide to backing up your data to make sure you don’t lose anything if the unexpected happens. We need to offload that work to password managers, which offer secure vaults that can stand in for our memory.Ī password manager offers convenience and, more importantly, helps you create better passwords, which makes your online existence less vulnerable to password-based attacks. That might work for Memory Grand Master Ed Cooke, but most of us are not capable of such fantastic feats. (Make sure they are long, strong, and secure!) Just kidding. The safest (if craziest) way to store your passwords is to memorize them all. The problem is, most of us don’t know what makes a good password and aren’t able to remember hundreds of them anyway. For nearly a decade, that’s been “123456” and “password”-the two most commonly used passwords on the web. We know they’re good for us, but most of us are happier snacking on the password equivalent of junk food. Password managers are the vegetables of the internet. For Mac OS X 10.4 and earlier there are a number of solutions, from Installer.app installers (Martin Ott's Subversion packages are highly regarded, at ), or Fink/MacPorts, to compiling it from source. The command-line Subversion 1.4 client comes with Mac OS X 10.5 ("Leopard"). MacTech covered this topic in Vol 22, Issue 11 (aka: the November 2006 issue), focusing on Xcode 2.0's built-in Subversion tools). Mike Zornek of Clickable Bliss explains, with video, the most basic concepts of Subversion in a screencast at. This article isn't about the basics of how to use version control. Single programmers can also use this tool so ensure the highest quality code goes into their product - if you look at the differences between the code on the server and the code on the local "sandbox", if your changes reduce the quality of the code you can simply revert. Source control is critically important when two or more programmers are working together, as it allows those programmers to modify the same file together, both making changes to different parts of the file, then Subversion will merge their changes together.
