In order to stream audio to the miniDSP SHD, you will need to enable JRMC's Media Network functionality. Before proceeding, set the SHD to LAN input: And, of course, that your SHD is connected to your network via its Ethernet port. We'll assume that you've already downloaded JRiver Media Center, installed it, and set it up with a library of music files on your hard drive. It is a commercial program with a 30-day free trial. JRiver Media Center is available for Mac, Windows and Linux. In this app note, we will show you how to use JRiver Media Center (JRMC). But it's really about exploring your music collection and using it as a starting point to expand out and discover not just lots more music/artists but also to get interesting insight into it.There are a number of well-regarded music players that can stream audio to the miniDSP SHD Series over your local area network (LAN). The DSP and EQ functions are excellent (especially if you like Audeze headphones as it already has the "Reveal" plug-in capabilities integrated into it). And it'll talk to a huge array of hardware. Yes, it's a great player/server/control point. Roon is something for "music first" audiophiles, I think. And, given the rate at which Roon support is being baked into new hardware I don't see it going away any time soon. The Roon guys were previously "Sooloos" (acquired by Meridian) and that had a good run (and Roon will interoperate with it), so they've been around for a while. I'll hit that point sometime this year (or just have, I'd have to look). When I bought the lifetime subscription to Roon I was primarily concerned that they stuck around long enough to make the service not cost more than just paying annually. Hmmm - that seems really obvious now that I reread it.Ĭlick to expand.I wound up with both. ![]() I *think* my plan is to try Audirvana first and see if it does what I need, and then evaluate Roon and see if the premium seems acceptable after I use it. Why am I such a cheapskate! What happened to the good old days of popping, hissing vinyl, cheap cartridges, clipping and feedback, and media packaging big enough to clean your stash in - uh I mean read and enjoy the liner notes from. Grrrrrr, why does it have to solve all my problems and cost so much. As in will the Roon group be around 5+ years from now?ġ yes, that is kind of a paranoid wanker thing.Ģ I do hope so, as they are doing a good jobģ the “exit strategy” is usually acquisition - would it be good for Apple or Spotify or some hardware outfit to acquire them? Would a lifetime subscription be honored at that point? Yeah, paranoid again.Ĥ the annual option is the way out of that, it just seems a bit pricey. I’m also curious if Jriver is instead my salvation? I’m interested in Roon, but I’m not sure it works the way I need it to work, and the pricing is about 4x what I’d consider reasonable, at least for me, for one of my issues with a lifetime subscription model at $500 is the definition of “lifetime”. I’m hoping Audirvana is my salvation here.

Go around the back of this upper building and go in the back door, you can deal with both guys inside however you want. When the one who’s walking back and forth leaves you can climb up the boxes there as he will also go into the building. If you look up where the stairs are there will be two enemies, one who goes inside the building and one who walks back and forth. There is a cliff you can climb, then you can go into a pipe under the wall to get into the main area. After that you can head back East the way you came to the next objective.įrom the fast travel point you want to head North, then East towards the area.

Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts Trophy GuideĮarn all other trophies in Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts to unlock Platinum (DLC not required)! Once you’ve finished all challenges all you should have left is some of the misc trophies for killing targets certain ways, buying upgrades and items, and completing bounties and collecting collectibles. None of them are overly difficult though if you are going specifically for them on lowest difficulty. These will normally require multiple replays of missions, the reason being that some are mutually exclusive. This means not all are needed and you can skip the hardest ones. You need to complete 24 of the 30 available challenges in the game. This is the main step that will take up most of the time to earn the platinum. ![]() The trophies imply you need to do all contract objectives on Deadeye, but the trophy is awarded after just one during a mission replay, so you can redo the shortest and easiest objective in each level to earn the trophies, then don’t need to play above the lowest difficulty again. Next step will be the just redo one objective in each region on the highest difficulty to earn the 5 trophies for completing each region on the highest difficulty. Step 2: Play Each Region on Deadeye Difficulty, Completing One Objective to Earn the Difficulty Trophies ![]() ![]() ![]() This is unsurprising, as Wade's car in RP1, ECTO-88, was a mashup of these four vehicles.ĮCTO-88 is also the name of the film series Wade is now directing, a crossover of those four movies featuring VR facsimiles of the original actors. Wade kills time by playing an Indiana Jones game for a while with some conventional VR glasses, then takes a jaunt out to his garage, which has replicas of the cars from Back to the Future, Ghostbusters, Knight Rider, and Buckaroo Banzai. He makes a Wayne's World reference for no reason, and then starts Wade's morning routine, playing some Talking Heads (I swear to God, Cline, you'd better not ruin Talking Heads for me) and giving him the headlines. We're introduced to Wade's virtual assistant, Max. But Wade feels the world has changed him, and he's alone in the mansion, aside from his cook and security team. We get some notes about how the whole world has been reshaped around the events of the previous book: the hotel where he stayed is a tourist attraction now, as is a VR recreation of the slums where he used to live. Wade is depressed, and stares morosely at the skyline. I really am trying to scale back the small-potatoes snark for these pieces, but the book is not making it easy for me. The book even says he wakes up "like Marty McFly". Wade wakes up in his woodland mansion - Halliday's old mansion - overlooking Columbus, to that song from Back to the Future, playing on the radio from Back to the Future, at the same time that it played in Back to the Future. ![]() ![]() ![]() Now we’ve come to the submarine from the 1961 movie “ Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea,” and the 1964-1968 TV show of the same name. It could land on water, on an aircraft carrier, or on a runway ashore. It launched from and returned to its mother sub, the Seaview. FS-1.You’ll recognize the flying submarine from the 1964-1968 TV Show “ Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.” Nuclear-powered, it had windows, a manipulator arm, and room for two operators, plus perhaps a passenger.Nuclear-powered, it had an observation deck with a window, an observation bubble that could be lowered, a mini-sub, torpedoes, nuclear missiles, and a handball court. This sub was huge, and well equipped for both exploration and military missions. The novel is not well-known, but I like that the book contained a foldout picture of the submarine, a complete side view depiction of its interior. Here is the submarine from the 1978 novel Aquarius Mission by Martin Caidin. The movie version was designed by Harper Goff, a movie prop man I’ll mention again later. You’ve got to love the many windows, and the bubble window on top. It didn’t go underwater, but was miniaturized and injected into a human body. In the book and movie, the submarine was known as Proteus, but in the 1968-1970 cartoon it was known as Voyager. Most will recall the submarine from the 1966 film, and Isaac Asimov novel Fantastic Voyage. Herbert took the name of his fictional vessel from the submarine built by John Holland for the Fenians in 1881. The Fenian Ram is a nuclear-powered “subtug” that sneaks into the underwater oil fields of enemy countries, pumps out the valuable oil, and tows it back home. The novel is intense, and focuses on the psychologies of the characters, and how the submarine setting affects them. ![]() This is the submarine from Frank Herbert’s 1956 novel The Drag on in the Sea (also published as Under Pressure). Here’s my list of the 7 best science fiction submarines: Does (or will) the submarine in this fiction work stand the test of time? Can you recall details of the submarine and the story years later? Was the depiction of the submarine aesthetically pleasing? Did the plot of the story require a submarine at all, or would the story have worked if set aboard a different kind of vessel? How much more advanced was the submarine when compared to typical submarines of the era in which the work was produced (not necessarily the time of the story)? How detailed was the description, or how thoroughly was it depicted on screen? Did the audience form a clear mental picture of the sub? ![]() To choose the best of these, I considered these criteria: (M) Lorelei: The Witch of the Pacific Ocean (M) Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace (B) Under Pressure or The Dragon in the Sea I included the Red October as a SF sub because of its advanced “caterpillar drive.” Name The list includes those from books, movies, TV shows, and some Anime. Earth’s ocean, or oceans in general, are not common settings in SF, and I really enjoy such stories when I come across them.īefore I reveal the list of the seven best, here’s my chronologically ordered list of the more prominent submarines of science fiction. As a former submariner and current science fiction writer, I’m fascinated by the submarines of SF. My recent experience moderating a panel on Science Fiction submarines at Chessiecon inspired this blog post. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Overclocking your monitor for higher refresh rates can also cause image artifacts that are similar to ghosting. Next, specific monitor settings can cause ghosting or similar artifacts such as coronas or inverse ghosting (an artifact that manifests as bright trails behind moving objects). They can also be caused by a faulty monitor cable or other devices (believe it or not even a printer) that interfere with the monitor if they’re placed close enough. The monitor panel itself might not cause monitor ghosting. The good news is that most monitors have some setting to reduce ghosting artifacts but more on that later. In other words, ghosting is inherent with some LCD panels and cannot be removed entirely. Only the most expensive VA monitors (usually gaming ones) don’t show noticeable ghosting artifacts.Ĭheaper IPS monitors can also show ghosting artifacts but to a much smaller degree. Out of the three most common types of LCD monitor panels, ghosting is most noticeable on VA panels since they have the slowest response time. When the image is refreshed the physical pixels cannot update as fast as the image causing a smearing image effect on the display. Ghosting is usually caused by the slow response time of certain types of LCD panels. Instead, ghosting is only noticeable during fast-paced scenes that include moving objects as a blurry trail without any permanent effect on the image. Thankfully though, monitor ghosting doesn’t cause permanent changes to the display like similar effects such as image retention or burn-in effect. Since they follow moving objects, they are especially noticeable in scenes with many fast movements, such as first-person shooter games or fast-paced sports like hockey. Monitor ghosting is an image artifact that shows as a trail of pixels or “ghosts” behind moving objects. What monitor ghosting is and what causes it Offer potential solutions that can reduce or remove ghosting artifacts.Discuss similar image artifacts that are confused with monitor ghosting.They can seriously affect your experience and cause noticeably ruin the image quality, especially during fast-moving scenes.

Diablo (otherwise known as Diablo I) is an action role-playing game developed by Blizzard North and released by Blizzard Entertainment on December 31st, 1996. One thing you should not expect is to hear from those playing the closed beta. “For many, the end game is their favorite aspect of Diablo - we want to ensure it feels satisfying, and with no shortage of challenging variety to experience across many, many demon-slaying gaming sessions,” the studio said, adding feedback from participants will play a critical part in polishing the experience. The decision is also a reflection of the way a lot of players enjoy Diablo games. 12, 2022- Blizzard Entertainment announced today that Diablo® IV, the next generation installment in the genre-defining series, is debuting in 2023. Missions are non-linear and you're free to. There's five unique regions with a day/night cycle and ever-changing weather. Blizzard says it doesn’t want to spoil the game’s story before release. Diablo 4 will launch on PS5, Xbox Series X, PC, and last-gen consoles in 2023. Diablo 4 takes an open-world approach, where players travel between hubs. The upcoming beta will focus on Diablo IV’s endgame experience for a couple of reasons. If you don’t get into this round of testing, Blizzard notes public testing will begin early next year. Once the beta arrives, it will be available on PC, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5 and PS4, with support for crossplay and cross-progression between platforms supported. The action RPG launches in 2023 for Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and PC with full support for crossplay and cross-platform progression.

Whenever Diablo 4 does eventually release, itll be available on Xbox One, PC, and PlayStation 4. On the other hand, Diablo IV is different than Call of Duty or Overwatch. It would hurt Microsoft, in the long run, to lose fans by making Diablo IV an Xbox console exclusive. The Diablo IV campaign will take you through a massive open-world with five. Some of the reasons why it won’t are that the Diablo games, while accessible and popular as a single-player experience, thrive on community and multiplayer. For Diablo IV, all versions of the game will be online-only, regardless of whether you’re a console or PC player. The reasons to believe that Diablo IV won’t be an Xbox exclusive can be argued either way. ![]() ![]() While all of those are now unfortunately Xbox property, we continue to be hopeful that all of the Activision Blizzard property won’t strictly be Xbox exclusives.

Blizzard Entertainment announced today that Diablo® IV, the next generation installment in the genre-defining series, is debuting in 2023. Microsoft has admitted in their recent press release that “Activision Blizzard games are enjoyed on a variety of platforms, and we plan to continue to support those communities moving forward.” Though not specifically stated that games like Diablo IV won’t become Xbox exclusives, we can hope that Microsoft will see the benefit in keeping these extremely popular games in the 3rd party realm.
