We also experienced a lot of sudden disconnects where Speedify’s kill switch would activate and block our internet connection altogether. Just loading a simple web page took us more than ten minutes. We faced crippling lag, no matter what we did. Trying to watch YouTube clips or play a game on MTG Arena was a losing battle from the start. Testing Speedify VPN with low-impact operations like browsing was also an absolute nightmare. If you’re looking for a VPN that actually performs well, we recommend taking a look at our list of the fastest VPNs out there. They’ve basically rendered the service completely unusable. We couldn’t believe that a service that calls itself “Speedify” could sell such faulty software.Īll in all, Speedify’s speed test results were more than disappointing. We tried turning the encryption off and using Speedify’s “Header Compression” tool, but to no avail. Speedify VPN also has an in-app speed test that just bombarded us with errors. We never even managed to connect to any servers in the US. We got a bunch of errors, but zero solid results.Īdditionally, it took us up to 10 minutes to connect to a server and twice that to disconnect. Our benchmark download speed was 93.8 Mbps and we couldn’t get a single positive value of the VPN’s speed on. It is by far the slowest VPN we’ve ever tested. ![]() However, Speedify VPN was so slow that we couldn’t even get any conclusive results. The idea was to determine our benchmark speed (without the VPN) and compare it to Speedify’s performance on various servers.

![]() After a while, other emulation targets were added to bsnes, so its name was deemed inaccurate, and byuu renamed it to higan. It mentions that they were doing his friends as well, with one supposedly committing suicide which hit Near hard. bsnes was originally a SNES emulator, with the goal of being as accurate as possible. Imagine having to try to disassociate yourself from your life's work because the first thing that turns up when they google you is a thread of people mocking the way you look, sexuality, or mental state. The highly respected developer known as Near, creator of emulators like bsnes, higan and more has died. Near (previously known as Byuu) has been allegedly confirmed by close friends and authorities to have passed away. Near would have to literally stop using internet for them to be unable to reach him, but that also could not stop them. Please remember people, online harassment has real life consequences. Or rather as the article in the source says, was killed by KiwiFarms. The Nintendo 8-bit cores are very early in development, and are inferior to other existing emulators alternatives include Gambatte, BGB, Mesen, puNES, and Nestopia. higan's bsnes and bgba cores are its most developed/accurate. Please don't bother going to the site to look at it, don't give them the clicks. Near, known for developping bsnes and higan, both well-known accurate emulators, has commited suicide after suffering online harassment for a long time from KiwiFarms. higan is a project that originally separated from Near's previous SNES emulator bsnes when more system cores were added. They didn't "do" much, but I think knowing they were constantly watching his every move, and the fact he didn't have many real-life friends, meant that they boxed him into a corner on the internet which was the only real space he felt he could be himself.īefore he died he offered to give the Kiwifarms owner everything, all his money, his ID, his talents - if he just locked the thread, but instead he just gave him smarmy replies. He tried changing his name three or four times, but they basically have a thread where they would try to uncover who he was, what he was doing, what groups he was communicating with. They were a colossal force in emulation and will be missed.Because he was an easy target, he was sensitive, his work gave him a larger online profile than he had the mental tools to cope with. Seems like their death was related to relentless targeted harassment and mental health issues which is sad and unfortunate. Their code was even used with/by Stephen Hawking in an effort to preserve his voice after passing. As I said previously, if you use emulators for Nintendo/Sega/etc, you're almost certainly running this person’s code. John NESS is an SNES and NES emulator from John Emulators. They also helped and contributed to countless other (even competing) projects just to further the state of emulation. (runs on sd2snes or higan) BS The Legend of Zelda: Ancient Stone Tablets is a downloadable. Near has a long history in the emulation scene, working with others and often alone to create some really important software focused on accuracy and also contributions to translating some really popular titles. That alone is wild and unheard of in the emulation scene, but they ended up developing the same ideas for just about every other console/handheld from the 8-16bit era with Higan and later Ares. The highly respected developer known as Near, creator of emulators like bsnes, higan and more has died. ![]() They started off with a goal to completely reverse engineer the SNES down to the clock cycle and eventually succeeded, minus some negligible weirdness with the sound chip. Chances are if you use an emulator to play retro games, you're running some of their code. ![]() "Near" is the author behind the popular (and super notably cycle accurate) Bsnes/Higan/Ares emulators and contributed code to just about every modern emulator covering the 8-16 bit era. I'm not sure where to post this, but I feel like it's pretty significant. ![]() loa is long-lived (> 20 years) and adult females can produce 12,000-39,000 microfilariae per day, primary prevention is focused on reducing the near-constant exposure to the Chrysops spp. Disease manifestations, therefore, may not occur until 6-18 months from the time of inoculation. Once within the human host, the maturation process from 元 larvae to adult nematode is estimated to require 150-170 days. The microfilariae mature through the third larval stage (元) within the fly, migrate to the proboscis, and enter a new host via a subsequent blood meal, where they mature into adult nematodes. Their diurnal activity coincides with that of the Chrysops fly, increasing their likelihood of ingestion during a blood meal. Microfilariae are sheathed and can be found in the spinal fluid, urine, sputum, lungs, and blood of an infected individual. ![]() Loa loa is transmitted by the deerfly of the Chrysops genus, which demonstrates a diurnal pattern of activity, being most active from 10 am - 2 pm. This theory also explains the mechanism of retinal vessel involvement in Loa loa retinopathy, and might readily be applied to other organ systems. It is hypothesized that this increased risk of mortality is due to obstructive or inflammatory processes within the circulation. However, the view of loiasis as a benign disease has been called into question by the finding that the population-attributable fraction of mortality associated with Loa loa microfilaremia is 14.5%. A primary cause for concern has been the risk for encephalopathy and other severe adverse reactions when ivermectin is administered to individuals who are coinfected with Loa loa and Onchocerca volvulus. Loiasis has traditionally been regarded as a benign condition. Cutaneous manifestations including Calabar swellings are also pathognomonic and are likely due to a hypersensitivity response elicited by migration of the adult worm through tissue. Eyeworm is a pathognomonic finding in the disease course and occurs when the adult worm is visualized migrating beneath the bulbar conjunctiva. Loiasis is an infection of the submucosal and subcutaneous tissue caused by the filarial nematode Loa loa. ![]() Also inspired by Taffer, Jolly Bastion, Quale's "scroll-o-sprites", and many others.

Like with the d-pad, you can drag and drop each “button” in the layout at your will: This should make it clear why it is helpful to reproduce the layout of your pad – although you can remind yourself what corresponds to each pad button by pressing it on the pad (this is why the last button on the right is different in the image above).

Personally I’ve been happy to use solely the basic feature I have used it a lot with freeware windows games that typically don’t support pads natively, and with WinUAE, the Amiga emulator – many Amiga games use keys as the standard joysticks only had one button, and it’s very inconvenient to access these keys when using gamepads (Amiga joysticks were often 1-handed, while pads are 2-handed). I leave it to you to devise your own uses for these. Xpadder also lets you map mouse commands to your pad, or map sequences of keys to a single button press. you can map load and save state to shoulder buttons in Genesis games for “quick load” and “quick save”) Use it to map function keys from emulators to extra buttons (e.g.Some emulators that don’t let you redefine the gamepad commands freely (use keys, and remap them any way you want).Some emulators that don’t support gamepads natively.Some obvious uses of Xpadder in this context: I decided to make a tutorial here to connect with the emulator guides.

Players can either decide to install a mod that does the math for them in hopes of keeping track of when the next full moon is on the way, they can use the Lunar Calendar Generator or try to figure out the math for themselves. *Day 19 & 20 – Quarter (Waxing Crescent) Moon The Moon Cycle is actually a fairly simple mechanic for players to get a hang of as it is a manageable 16 Day cycle which goes as follows:ĭay 3 & 4 – Quarter (Waxing Crescent) Moonĭay 15 & 16 – Quarter (Waning Crescent) Moon HOW THE MOON CYCLE WORKS IN SINGLE-PLAYER DON’T STARVE Take note that both the Moon Cycle and it’s perks act differently in Don’t Starve Together (DST) comparatively to the other Don’t Starve DLCs, including Shipwrecked (SW), Reign of Giants (RoG) and Hamlet (HAM) though I will try to clearly explain the differences in sections below. Unfortunately other than the Full Moon itself, players will not benefit from any of the other moons, though players should get used to the different types of moons as they will help players discern when the next Full Moon is going to appear. While the Moon Cycle doesn’t have a huge amount of impact on a player’s gameplay, there are a few quirks that players are going to make note of that will only be accessible during the Full Moon. One of the hidden mechanics players will come across when playing any version of Don’t Starve (DS, RoG, SW & HAM) and Don’t Starve Together (DST) is the Moon Cycle.

Usagi has been loosely tied into the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles universe since the 1980s resulting in a number of crossovers in both series. Usagi is a Ronin, or masterless samurai, and walks the warrior's path having adventures in a feudal period Japan populated by anthropomorphic animals.

The US official also told reporters a future package for Ukraine would be unveiled "very soon." Kirby said any decision about a spring counteroffensive from Ukraine would be “for President (Volodymyr) Zelensky to make,” but that the US will continue to provide military aid and support. After months of fighting and extraordinary losses, Russia continues to be focused on a single Ukrainian city with limited strategic value," the official said. “The bottom line is that Russia's attempted offensive has backfired. He added that Russia has made “incremental” gains in the town that has “very little strategic value.” With regards to fighting on the ground: Kirby said that “most” of Russia’s efforts have “stalled and failed” as the battle for the eastern city of Bakhmut continues. "I don't need to abide by that same sense of courtesy for the Russians - haven't done it and I ain't going to start now," he said. The official noted that it's ultimately Ukraine's decision to declassify the information and make their casualty figures public. Kirby added that the Ukrainians “are the victims here, Russia is the aggressor, and I'm simply not going to put information in the public domain that's going to, again, make it any harder for the Ukrainians." Pressed on the source of the new 100,000 figure, Kirby said it was “based on some downgraded intelligence that we’ve been able to collect.” He declined to provide information on Ukrainian casualties, noting that the US has “never” provided such information and would defer to Ukraine on the matter. Kirby called Prigozhin's comments “just a ludicrous claim.” Kirby lambasted a recent assertion from Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin, who said Sunday that his group had only suffered 94 casualties.
