The Level 73 Choice – Pick 1 of 3 AbilitiesĪt level 73, each Combat Style has to pick between 1 of 3 abilities. Don’t just look at your favorite Combat Style and compare it to everything else on live. What effect the Ability Choices will have on gameplayĪlmost every Combat Style has 5 currently-accessible abilities locked behind 3 choices. I won’t be analyzing individual choices like I have been in previous 7.0 articles detailing individual class changes, though I do want to point out some notable trends. To be clear, this is definitely not the final version we’ll see in game, though I suspect many of the choices will be similar to what we actually get with the 7.0 Expansion. This is an analysis and list of all Ability Tree Choices for each discipline from the final build of the PTS, it also contains new abilities, effect chances, and completely pruned abilities.

9/24/2023 0 Comments Apple passwords not syncing![]() ![]() I switched directions, adding a website to the iPad's keychain while the Mac was offline, and it synced in exactly the same way. Passwords synced across devices without fail. I repeated the process a few times, never connecting the iPad and Mac to the Internet or a local network simultaneously. But after waiting a few minutes, I turned airplane mode on the iPad off, and voila! Within seconds my iCloud Keychain data had updated on the iPad. Since my passwords were supposed to be stored "only locally" according to Apple's support document, they shouldn't be able to sync to another device without some kind of connection to that device. I then turned Wi-Fi on the Mac off, disconnecting it from the Internet and my network. The desktop browser asked if I wanted to save the password in iCloud Keychain, just as it's supposed to. Then, I logged into a website on the Mac in Safari. Before doing anything else, I put the iPad into airplane mode, disconnecting it from the Internet and my home Wi-Fi network. During this step, both the iPad and the Mac had to be connected to the Internet simultaneously.Īt this point, the iPad's list of saved passwords (available at Settings/Safari/Passwords & AutoFill/Saved Passwords) was empty. Since I hadn't chosen a security code, I had to approve the iPad from the Mac. Using the same account on an iPad, I set up iCloud Keychain. After creating a new Apple account and logging into a new user session on a Mac, I set up iCloud Keychain and skipped the step of creating an iCloud security code as Apple describes. I decided to test out Apple's claim that keychain data can be stored "only locally" but still sync across devices. Important: If you choose to not create an iCloud Security Code, Apple will not be able to recover your iCloud Keychain. Your keychain data is then stored only locally on the device, and updates only across your approved devices. When setting up iCloud Keychain, you can skip the step for creating an iCloud Security Code. ![]() 25, the FAQ states the following:Ĭan I set up iCloud Keychain so that my data isn't backed up in the cloud? The Apple FAQ we mentioned earlier describes this attribute, as well as the claim that not setting up a security code prevents data from being uploaded to the cloud. If the user has forgotten the PIN, a new device can be authorized by approving it from a previously authorized device.Ī second option for securing iCloud Keychain is identical to the first except that instead of a 4-digit PIN, the user can choose a longer password consisting of letters, numbers, and other characters.įinally, the user could simply choose not to secure iCloud Keychain with a PIN or a password at all, removing the ability to approve a new device with a passcode. This PIN must be entered in addition to the user's primary iCloud password. With this option, each time a user adds a new Mac or iOS device to iCloud, the user can retrieve his or her keychain from Apple servers by entering the PIN. This is the default option presented to users and thus the one most likely to be used. ![]() The keychain-which contains usernames and passwords for websites, credit card information, and so forth-can be secured with a simple 4-digit passcode. It may simply be a factual error in the Apple support document, but since this represents Apple's official word on how iCloud Keychain works, we had to test it out.Ī user has three options for securing iCloud Keychain. Unfortunately, Apple's claim that it has solved this problem does not appear to be true. However, this requires some extra steps that reduce the convenience a good password manager offers. There are ways to sync passwords directly among devices without cloud storage-for example, with a Wi-Fi sync option in the latest versions of 1Password. Today, most password managers sync data across devices by storing the data in a cloud service. ![]() If true, this would be an important advance in password management, allowing users to create long, complicated passwords on one device and have the passwords automatically sync to their other devices, but without storing data on Apple's servers. Aurich Lawson / Thinkstock reader comments 68 withĪn Apple support document describing the company's new iCloud Keychain makes a surprising claim that it can sync passwords across devices without ever storing them in the cloud. ![]() 9/24/2023 0 Comments Gensler and unity game engine![]() ![]() Since a decade now, games support online multiplayer and social gaming, which connects your gaming adventures with your friends. They provide a software abstraction of GPU using the multi-rendering API's like Direct3D or OpenGL for video rendering and API's such as Open-AL, SDL audio, X-Audio 2, Web Audio for audio. ![]() For example: How our character reacts on hitting a wall, or seeing an animal etc can be done easily by building a trer of behaviour nodes, rather than writing complex code.Īudio and Rendering Engines are a sub-part of the Game engine which are used to control the sound effects and generate 3D animated graphics in your 2D screen. The implementation of AI in games is usually done using readymade scripts that are designed and written by software engineers who are specialized in AI. Knowing the kind of weapons the player will be using based on the situation or the behavior of the player gets recorded and actions are performed accordingly, can be done using specialized software embedded into the games. Now-a-days, Artificial Intelligence is playing a significant role within the game development. Gravity, collision detection, rotation & revolution, speed of objects and other such applications are handled by the physics engine within the game. These are complex engines integrated in the latest game engines, are mainly used in video games (usually as a middleware), where the real-time and real-life simulation must be portrayed. Physics engines are software which allows performing fairly accurate simulation of most of the real-life physical systems like the movement of rigid body (we will perform that practically in later chapter using Unity 3D), soft body mass and velocity alteration and fluid dynamics, bounciness etc. There is a sub-component of the game engine, which is known as Physics Engine. ![]() Game engine provides a lot of features like lighting effects, shadow, bump maps, blending animation etc to make the imported asset look real. Hence a good game engine must support multiple import formats. 3D graphics are designed using 3D assets, which are developed and designed in external 3D rendering programs like Maya, Blender etc and are then imported into the game engine. Polling is used to get the position values, for example on which coordinates(x,y) does the mouse pointer is, or tilt angle of Game stick or the Smartphone using which you are playing the game. Input events are captured by the computer (like right click of mouse, or pressing arrow up key etc) and your custom code is triggered based on what input was received. There are many different ways of handling an input, two most commonly used are through: events and polling. All the components in the game engine are built and integrated to support the motive of game development.Ī game is nothing if it cannot be played, the game engine provides with support of array of input devices like mouse, gamepad, touch etc while also providing support for devices like gamepad, joysticks etc. ![]() So, developers or game lovers who find interest in diving deep into game development, for exploring new technologies and showcasing your imagination in the form of game or if someone is just curious to know what's happening behind game engine technology, here's a detailed explanation of the components that constitutes a game engine.Ī Game Engine is created to develop games, just like any other IDE for any particular language programming. Developers use these game engines for creating games for consoles, mobile devices and personal computers. In other words, it is a framework that is designed specifically for the construction and development of video games. It turns the complex task of game development simple, by providing an abstraction layer, which makes a lot of big tasks look very easy, while the game engine does all the hardwork in the background. Game Engine is like an integrated development environment, with a readymade suite of visual development tools and reusable software components.
9/24/2023 0 Comments Overwatch 2 season 3 changes![]() ![]() Instead, she now heals herself for 25% of healing done with the Caduceus Staff. She also no longer has the support role passive. This increases her HPS to a whopping 67.5 for any friendly heroes approaching critical condition.Īdditionally, Mercy lost passive health regeneration. Her Caduceus Staff healing per second was reduced from 55 to 45, but she now has a 50% healing buff for allies under half health. In Season 3, Mercy got an interesting rework. I’ll repeat it every day – Supports are more than just healers! While healing is a big part of their kits, they do so much more to improve the sustain of the team. This includes all Control maps and many of the Escort maps. Reinhardt is solid on any maps where your team needs to hold a position. Knockback duration increased slightly from 2.5 to 2.75 seconds. The ultimate cost increased by 7% and direct hit damage was reduced from 250 to 170. With all these buffs, Blizzard took some power out of Rein’s ult. ![]() This makes it easier to confirm kills at close range. Season 3 also reduced the knockback impulse from 10 to 6, meaning enemies stay closer to Rein after he hits them with a hammer. The latter change means he can two-tap 200-health heroes! His Charge cooldown was reduced from 8 to 7 seconds, and the Fire Strike damage was increased from 90 to 100. Rein is back! In Season 3, Reinhardt received some major buffs which propelled him to the top tier of the tank category. ![]() Otherwise, you become a vulnerable target. Also, remember you can move while using his ult so try not to stay out in the open for too while ulting. Gravitic Flux deals half of the enemy’s health on impact, and you can hit the targets with your Hyperspheres while they’re in the air. The key to getting value from Sigma’s ultimate is prioritizing enemies who are below full health. This means playing close to cover and effectively bouncing the Hyperspheres off walls. Since the primary fire is limited to 22 meters, you’ll want to keep within his attack radius. His ability to eliminate squishies is deadly using the Accretion Rock + primary fire combo. Sig can potentially lead most teams in damage. Even with his ultimate cost rising by 7% this season, the small nerf has barely been noticeable. Sigma was strong in Season 1, and he’s still a great pick in Season 3. Try these two big bois in Season 3 to improve your win rate. They make space for the rest of the squad and dictate the flow of the match. The Tank position is still the most critical role in any Overwatch 2 team. He works on most maps and is a great hero for anyone new to Overwatch 2. ![]() Soldier can also sprint and heal himself, making him a self-sustaining hero. While a direct hit deals a whopping 120 damage, you’ll want to aim for the feet of most smaller enemies to get value out of this ability. Soldier’s Helix Rockets can be used to confirm kills and to boost himself onto optimal high ground. These changes combine to make Soldier 76 even more lethal in competitive play. In Season 3, not only did his recoil get reduced by 12%, but they also increased the maximum shots to reach maximum recoil from 4 to 6. Soldier was already good at putting out consistent damage. The Season 3 change made it such that enemy collision no longer blocks this ability’s movement. Lastly, Cass can use his Combat Roll for a slight mobility boost, and an instant reload. If you want to get serious about your Cassidy play, you must land headshots consistently and have a good feel for the arc of his Magnetic Grenade. The Overwatch 2 community has conducted tests that demonstrate the time to kill improving by over 40%. While the change from 20 to 25 meters may not seem like much, it changes the breakpoints in a big way. Blizzard increased Cassidy’s damage fall off range, making him even deadlier from mid to long range. The popular cowboy got a significant buff in Season 3. If you want damage dealers who work everywhere, look no further than these two picks! Cassidy Many characters are great in this category some even reach the top tier for specific maps. This season has perhaps the smallest gap among DPS heroes in a long time. This is a welcome change from the prior seasons where the updates didn’t happen until 7 wins or 17 losses/ties.Ĭheck out the complete Season 3 patch notes on the Blizzard website, and practice with these heroes to climb the ranked ladder! In Season 3, skill tiers and divisions update after 5 wins or 15 losses/ties. We got several hero changes and a new map in Blizzard’s hero shooter.

If you need help comparing, just copy the data into a spreadsheet to quickly sort and compare. It'll take a bit more time, and you'll have to manually compare each option, but you'll get the most options to choose from. ![]() Just open a tab for each service you want to check, and enter your package size and weight into each one. You could run with that and only check one site-but it still might be worth comparing a few services. "Otherwise, FedEx or UPS Ground will always be cheaper." "If you need a large flat rate Priority Mail box, make sure it’s heavier than 7 lbs," says Chou. Flat rate boxes can be cheaper, too, for small heavy objects. For express shipping inside the US, Steve Chou from My Wife Quite Her Job has found that UPS and FedEx are cheaper for packages over 2 pounds, while the USPS is cheaper for packages under 2 pounds. There's a quick rule of thumb you can use, too. Odds are, you'll have a handful of options for easy shipping: Your local postal service, and a few international parcel carriers like FedEx or DHL. When all else fails, you can always compare shipping prices on your own-and it's not that hard. Find the Best Shipping Costs from Favorite CarrierĬheck prices online for your default carrier-and compare them to others in separate tabs (USPS pictured) Be sure to check your eCommerce platform's add-ons or app store for shipping services, as the ones that integrate with your store will be the most helpful for your business. ShipStation, for example, connects to Shopify, BigCommerce, and WooCommerce, along with marketplaces like Ebay and Etsy, to find shipping for all of your orders in one place. The most important thing is that your shipping service connects to your eCommerce platform to directly calculate shipping for every order. Most of those are focused on US businesses-be sure to look around for similar services designed for your market if you’re shipping from outside the US. Some popular tools that let you compare shipping rates include ShipStation, ShipWorks, Shipwire, RocketShipIt, XPSship, ShippingEasy, and Ordoro. You need a subscription to the shipping service, but will likely make it back in the time and money saved on shipping. These tools integrate with your eCommerce platform and automatically find the cheapest shipping option for each product and printing shipping labels for each order. If you want to always find the cheapest shipping option for each order, the best option is to use a paid shipping service.

Sign up for an account, and you can buy and print the shipping label directly. Typically, the shipping comparison sites sell the postage themselves. Then, enter the size and weight of your package, and the tool will show which shipping service will send the packages the quickest-or the cheapest, whichever you need. Enter your own postal code as the place you're shipping from, along with the destination country and postal code. The good news is, that means you just have to find a shipping site from your country, and it'll be able to compare shipping rates whenever you need to mail something fast. Most shipping rate calculators are based around shipping from one country.

When the download is over, you will need to decompress the obtained files. Follow simple steps below and enjoy playing! Step 1 – Download MAME Emulatorįirst thing, you should download the emulator binaries form the MAME official website. Those users who want to start playing classic games on their Windows PCs using MAME can find a brief guide below. The undeniable advantage of using MAME is that you will be able to play the classic games created by different systems without installing numerous emulators, which allows you to save much valuable space on your hard drive. MAME lets you play more than 8000 retro games which are presently difficult or impossible to emulate on other emulators. Fortunately, the program’s accuracy improves with every update introduced monthly. We put it in the "roms" folder and pray that everything goes well.Presently, any user can download and install MAME on their computer.We put the exact same name as the original ZIP (for example, aof.zip for the game Art of Fighting).We compress the game back into a ZIP containing what the original game contained and the files that we searched for and downloaded in step 1. ![]() We unzip the ZIP of the ROM that does not work.We search the internet for the files that the error message says are missing.One option is to find another ROM to see if it works directly. There are files that gather all or almost all the necessary BIOSes and all we have to do is get one and unzip all the ZIPs in the same folder «roms» where we put the games.Īnother problem that we can find is that a game does not start because it is missing a file. The best way to solve this problem is, once again, go to our favorite search engine and search for something like "all mame bios". For example, NEO-GEO games don't usually work if we don't add their BIOS. BIOSes are small files necessary for, let's put it like this, software to be compatible with certain games. The first and most likely is that a game does not work because we don't have your BIOS available. There are two possible options, one easier to solve than the other. What can happen is that we try to run a game and it does not work because we are missing a file. There are cases, especially if we use the "mobile" version, in which we have to look for updated ROMs, but this problem does not usually occur in the desktop version. The worst thing about MAME, without a doubt, is that not all ROMs work on all versions of the software. If we want to put the ROMs in another path, we have to edit the file mame.this for the software to search the new path. As we read in snapcraft.io, the path for the Snap version is ~ / snap / mame / common / roms. If we have installed it from a repository, be it official or unofficial, we have to put the ROMs in the path ~ / mame / roms, where "~ /" is our personal folder if the "mame" folder is not there, we create it manually. Where put the ROMs it will depend on the operating system and the version downloaded. Dozens of web pages will appear and all of them will allow us to download ROMs for MAME and, in some cases, for other emulators. The "difficult" thing is to find them: for reasons that everyone can understand, we cannot provide any link to pages that offer these ROMs, but finding them is as simple as accessing our favorite search engine and searching for something like "mame roms". The games we have to add them manually, but it is something very simple. Once MAME is installed, what we will have will be an emulator without any games. If our distribution is compatible with these Canonical packages, installing it is as simple as typing this other command: sudo snap install mame How to add ROMs to MAME MAME is also available as a Snap package. Sudo apt update & sudo apt install mame From your Snap package ![]() If when entering the message it shows an error, we probably do not have the emulator available in the repositories of our distribution, so we will add an unofficial one with the following command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:c.falco/mameĪfter adding the repository, we will write this other command: In Ubuntu and derivatives the command is as follows: sudo apt install mame From the unofficial repository The first thing we must test is if it is available in the official repositories of our distribution.
