![]() ![]() The United States is the largest producer of hides (from larger animals such as cattle) and skins (from smaller animals such as lambs) with an annual supply of more than 1.1 million tons. With the low profit margin for each head of cattle (about $3 a head), the meat industry relies heavily on skin sales to remain profitable. More than 139 million cows, calves, sheep, lambs, and pigs are killed for food each year, and skin accounts for roughly 50% of the total byproduct value of cattle. Until refrigeration was perfected at the turn of the twentieth century, beef was largely a byproduct. But what if you learned that some leather items are actually made with the skin of those same best friends? And what if you knew that leather is so much more that just a “byproduct” of the meat industry? Some of our best friends - dogs, cats, and horses - even boast leather leashes, collars, and saddles. Brushed off as a “byproduct” of another industry, leather (or, more appropriately, “hairless fur”) seems to be everywhere, from shoes, belts, wallets, bags, and briefcases, to car seats, sofas, and footballs. That’s a lot of suffering for something as frivolous as a fur collar, especially when so many beautiful, stylish, and humane alternatives are available.Įven greater in the number of animals killed, however, is a material few recognize as cruel. It’s estimated that 90% of today’s cage-raised fox is used for fur trim. Few people today flaunt full-length fur coats that took the lives of 35 minks to make, but even fewer people recognize that 3 foxes suffered just the same to make a fur-trim collar. Most people are aware that fur comes from animals who were either cruelly trapped or miserably raised in tiny barren cages. ![]()

If you find the below helpful, I appreciate your support by subscribing to my YouTube channel. Huge thank you to the EmuDeck developers that made this process very easy!

It also pre-configures all the controls, aspect ratio settings, etc. So what is EmuDeck? EmuDeck is a tool (more precisely, a script) that you can download/install which greatly simplifies the installation of 160 emulators and supporting utilities to your Steam Deck. If you want to be able to run retro games from various systems on your Steam Deck, EmuDeck will make the process much easier! Setting this to anything but nul will re-enable the combo requirement. # Decrease the currently selected save state slot. # Increase the currently selected save state slot. # Reset the emulated system (can cause bugs with certain settings/games). # Save current state to the selected slot. Here is a non-exhaustive list of RetroArch input commands (with the default buttons for an Xbox 360 controller): Then add/edit the following lines as appropriate to nf. psx for the Sony PlayStation).ĭ-pad up/down, value -1 for up, 0 for neutral, 1 for downĭ-pad left/right, value -1 for left, 0 for neutral, 1 for rightīTN = Button, ABS = Absolute position (commonly analog sticks, but also includes analog triggers and the D-pad (yep, the D-pad is just a virtual analog stick)). If you'd like your keyboard bindings to only apply to a particular system, replace the global part with the shortname for your system (eg. Here is an example of the default bindings: Open your /system/nf file and add the following lines as appropriate to it. You can read more about that and its philosophy here. The RetroPad is independent of the system and will be assigned to the appropriate system controls when that emulator is booted up. Keep in mind that this is just translating your keyboard to the RetroPad. Batocera supports the massive majority of RetroArch's settings, but for the few that it doesn't (such as bleeding edge new features or obscure/forgotten ones), those settings can still be adjusted by editing them directly into /userdata/system/configs/retroarch/retroarchcustom.cfg as they will not be overwritten (at least, until Batocera supports them as well). In order to use the configuration generator to create a RetroArch setting (letting Batocera know which value is being used, avoiding it being overwritten), follow the _setting=value syntax. Most RetroArch settings not mentioned in the default nf can be edited and saved from within RetroArch itself (accessed by pressing + while in-game in a Libretro core), these will be saved to /userdata/system/configs/retroarch/retroarchcustom.cfg (with core options being saved to retroarch/cores/retroarch-core-options.cfg instead), however the vast majority of RetroArch settings will be overridden by Batocera at emulator launch. Exceptions will be noted.įor options not already implemented into ES, you can change the file /userdata/system/nf and add the following keys if needed. Most of these settings can instead be changed within EmulationStation. Batocera generates and replaces the lines in this file with every emulator launch, so the better option is to let Batocera know which RetroArch options you would like to use. With ordinary distributions (such as installing RetroArch on Windows), RetroArch is configured by adding/editing lines in retroarch.cfg. ![]() You might want to check if the option you want to change has already been implemented into EmulationStation!

![]() ![]() SKOL! To the game with Brooks O'Brian! I want you to come with me to see the Vikings play their final Pre-Season game on August 26th. ![]() Now who’s ready for the Vikings Season to start? So what does that mean to us? This will save Minnesota taxpayers $226 Million in interest! What's amazing about that is that it’s a full 23 years early. There wasn’t a lot said about it but according to FanNation – Inside the Vikings online, among other news outlets, thanks in part to a bill signed by Minnesota Govenor Tim Waltz and revenue from Electronic Pull Tabs, the stadium was paid off at the end of June. But we Minnesotans very quietly got a huge gift at the beginning of June. The stadium was scheduled to be paid off by 2046. Place foil pouch on a rimmed baking sheet.

From early on I experienced enemies getting stuck in geometry and had my progress blocked because of scripting issues. The issues with the game soon become apparent. When I first installed the game, I expected to have to update it but there was no update at all and this seems odd for a game released eight years ago. There is very little variety in the environments and although there are seven different areas, they don’t differ significantly. These are relatively minor though as the games major problem isn’t difficulty or the controls but just how boring it is. Then there’s the camera which while fully rotatable can become a hindrance if you get stuck in certain parts of the map. The controls also aren’t nearly as responsive as they should be considering the speed the game runs at. Gameplay is extremely choppy and not because of the sharp weapons. When actually playing the game though, it is hard to believe that the game is really running that fast. Interestingly, the game also runs at 60fps on the 360 and this along with a solid control scheme should make for quality gameplay. As well as this the game has a timing system that will increase player score (called tribute), and discourages button mashing. There is also a counter mechanic that is telegraphed by enemies with either a blue or yellow glow which requires the player to press the correct bumper button in response. Gameplay is generally simple to understand with a basic combo system using a quick and strong attack, as well as a magic system. The gameplay is similar to that found in spectacle fighters like DevilMa圜ry and God of War and Sega probably had the latter in mind when they decided to resurrect the franchise. The lore of the original wasn’t very deep with the plot amounting to no more than a few paragraphs, so there was plenty to expand upon here. As is obvious from the title, the game also allows you to ride beasts that can be used to attack enemies. The world of Yuria looks suitably dark and the art design certainly captures the aesthetics of the series. Other elements from the series are present including the antagonist Death=Adder, the irritating but useful little gnomes that carry health and magic items. Ax-Battler and Gilius Thunderhead, the other two protagonists both make brief appearances and very optimistically seem to have been intended to be included in a sequel that will certainly (and happily) never be. The game instead focuses on Tyris Flare, the female protagonist from the original. It is beyond my understanding why this wasn’t demanded of the development team by Sega from the beginning. Especially at a time when games featuring co-operative play were resurgent through online services like Xbox Live. For a series and genre that is best played co-op, this was more than a puzzling omission. The first and most glaring problem is that Golden Axe: Beast Rider is a single-player only experience. Golden Axe: Beast Rider was a long time coming and naturally had high expectations.įrom what can easily be gathered from playing it and confirmed here, the development for this game was troubled from the beginning. Since then, the series was dormant for over a decade, unless one includes the apparently terrible Japan-only remake released in a compilation on PlayStation 2. The last major release before the subject of this review was another spin-off fighter in the arcade that was later ported to Saturn. ![]() The series saw spin-offs released, one for the Master System and another for the Game Gear. The two Mega Drive sequels were competent and the multiple ports released over the years varied wildly in quality. Apart from the direct arcade sequel, The Revenge of Death Adder, the series never really surpassed the original. Golden Axe is one of the earliest games I can remember playing in the arcades and one of the first, (and most beloved) games I owned on the Sega Mega Drive. The reason for my lingering curiosity about this title stemmed from my love of the series. After finding a copy for around $10 delivered, I decided this was a small enough amount to risk on finally trying the game. Years later, with the Xbox One now in it’s fourth year and my Xbox 360 all but packed away, this is one game that I still wanted to try for myself. However, with the overwhelmingly negative reviews, I was put off gambling money on this unlikely possibility. When Golden Axe: Beast Rider was released in late 2008, I initially wanted to believe they might be wrong. ![]() Whether it’s film, literature or our beloved interactive entertainment sometimes the critics are wrong. ![]() ![]() ![]() It could be a video-karaoke or karaoke in mp3-format. The next variety of backing tracks is karaoke. To find such a recording is a piece of good luck! No. One bad move can destroy a whole mixdown! Sometimes there could be a few different versions of the original phonogram: with or without backing vocal. We can say that the original backing track is closed for transformation. You don't have to make an effort to create a great final mix, like in the case with another kinds of backing tracks, but you don't have a technical opportunity to extract something from the mix finalized. The difference is that all instruments are bounced in a stereo-track. The original phonogram has only a few differences from the original multitrack. Such tracks, as a rule, are shared by authors or their assistants. The next kind of phonograms are stereo-mixes of original songs without vocal. That's why it's very difficult to recover all the palette of the original mix even in you have an original multitrack! To make a good mix is a complex task, it's a creative act. Yes, you have physical files, but you don't have appropriate hardware mounted in racks, mixer console as used during record and many other things. It's a very useful experience to learn multitracks of the greatest hits! Let's say, original studio multitracks of Michael Jackson, Freddy Mercury, Deep Purple or any other. For instance, such multitracks could be used by people interesting the art of mixing, other musicians or DJs. It's the way to get more respect in the professional industry, among other musicians and sound engineers. Many artists and groups purposefully publish their most technically difficult, commercially successful, or just very popular songs in the multitrack format. You can find some original stems shared by songs' authors themselves. Let's reflect a little bit more about where all phonograms are even coming from and what kinds of backing tracks are there? The No. We'd also like to share our experience and to talk a few words about our vision and approach. In the article given, we'll run through some technical subjects, which sometimes stay uncertain or misunderstood. Well, in the meantime, let’s discuss a little more about which benefits multitracks give to us and why the project is conceived.
