today, the boys in my group had a fit over valentine's day. they claimed it was a gay holiday and they were too macho for it (there is information online that valentine was the first to bless same-sex marriage). then they made homophobic jokes even during our practical training. one of the boys had to locate the boundaries of the stomach by palpation, and when he placed his hand on the lower back of another guy, they started joking again in a rough and mocking manner.

it all amused me because these guys clearly know nothing about internalized homophobia and latency. i just sit here and wait for the day when it catches up with them

Returning to Donkey Kong Country Returns

I am subjecting myself to Donkey Kong Country Returns again. This game and I have a bit of history.

I'd played Returns on real hardware near when it came out originally, and I sort of hated it. The game felt prohibitively sluggish to me. Some of that is due to Donkey Kong himself, which is made to feel big and heavy like a 300lb gorilla ought to. But some of that was also just, like, a strange problem with input latency. The game did not feel responsive, like I'd push the jump button and it'd take a frame or two for Donkey Kong to actually jump. This made platforming very difficult. Never figured out if I imagined it or if it was a real problem.

Though, for the record, playing Rayman Origins on that same Wii also felt sluggish in the same way as DKCR, leading me to believe it might have been a hardware problem, and not just my imagination. Either way, DKCR made me so mad I didn't even finish the second world, to my memory.

Tropical Freeze, the sequel to DKCR comes, and I receive it for review on TSSZ. I expected to savage that game's controls because of the way I felt with DKCR. Instead, I fall in love with it. Whatever problems I had with the Wii game don't exist in Tropical Freeze. It controls well and plays great. An awesome game.

Which makes me wonder: If everybody else loved DKCR, could it really just a hardware problem for me? Could I play DKCR somewhere else and have a better experience? Eventually, Nintendo ran a program where you got a free 3DS game as some kind of reward for a thing they're doing; like, if you buy a certain amount of games in a short length of time you'd get a free game? I forget. Point is, for my free game, I picked the 3DS port of Donkey Kong Country Returns.

And yet, the latency problem persisted even there. The game just felt sluggish and unresponsive and hard to control in a way I didn't enjoy. I guess it probably felt better than it did on the Wii, but not much. I played through over half the game on the 3DS, getting up to the dinosaur/cliff world, but struggled to muster up the energy to finish the rest of the game.

Which brings us here. I don't know why, but I booted DKCR in Dolphin up a couple nights ago and actually spent kind of a long time setting up the controls so that it felt comfortable. It's worth mentioning that when I played DKCR on real hardware back in 2014, I did so with the Gecko Cheat Code to enable Classic Controller Pro support because I refused to waggle. DKCR's waggle was maybe one of the most egregious "this really should have been a button" things ever, to me. Something Tropical Freeze fixed and was much better for!

Obviously the Classic Controller support isn't needed on Dolphin, so I just set controller binds so that the R trigger grabs things and the L trigger waggles. Setting up the latter was a little tricky, because DKCR actually looks for you waggling both the remote and nunchuk at the same time in order to register a proper ground pound. An easy problem to solve once you realize what it wants, but it took close to an hour to find that answer.

And it feels... better? Actually? More responsive than it did on real hardware. Which makes me wonder if the Classic Controller code was the source of the dreaded latency -- but then, that wouldn't explain Rayman Origins or the 3DS version of DKCR.

But I also discovered some of these Gecko cheats just don't work, which could explain the problems I had with the original version. I guess I'll never know for sure.

I've turned on a few cheats here -- Diddy has infinite glide now, for instance, making him feel more like Dixie does in Tropical Freeze. And the clock is stopped during bonus rooms, because those never needed time pressure. But originally, I had more cheat codes turned on -- namely one which did remap waggle actions to the remote's B trigger. But turning that cheat just broke many other elements of control, like completely disabling Diddy's hover entirely.

Thus, I was forced to figure out how to properly bind waggle to my Dualshock 4's trigger. Ultimately, no sweat.

But I still don't know if I'll finish it. Even with the controls feeling "right," the game teeters on the edge of feeling ever so slightly unfriendly. Not much, but the game is weirdly adversarial, like it's trying to trick me into hurting myself. It's a hard thing to describe, and I don't even think everybody picks up on it, but there's a vibe with some retro games where it feels like you're fighting against the game designer themselves, you know?

Games are never just "difficult" or "challenging." There are different flavors these things come in. The way Dark Souls is hard isn't the same way that a shooter like Raiden IV is hard.

In the modern context, DKCR feels closer to something like Kaizo Mario or I Wanna Be The Guy, I guess. Games where you can feel an omnipresent creator watching you play, and they're deliberately trying to trip you up, as if they're shouting "YOU FELL FOR MY TRAP, LOSER!" and laughing at you.

There was a time early in the NES and SNES era where this kind of difficulty was a lot more common, especially in budget or licensed platformers. It's a level beyond the so-called "Nintendo Hard", where some clueless level designer is lost in the wild west of early game development and thinks this is what people want. Obviously games like Kaizo Mario and IWBTG are exaggerated forms of that, but it was definitely a style of game you encountered a lot back in the era.

I never got that vibe from the original Donkey Kong Country games, but DKCR has just a teeny tiny itty bitty sliver of that feel. You reach the third form of the first boss and it's like, "Really? Isn't this a little bit too much for the first boss?"

Who knows if I'll stick with it, but I've already played three sessions already, so it wasn't some kind of one-and-done sort of deal.

I'm surprised how nice it looks in Dolphin even just at 720p. It wouldn't take much work to put this out on the Switch; just clean up some of the GUI. It scales to higher resolutions remarkably well.

When I worked at Gogo, we had an engineer who wanted some charts and graphs to explain the concept of electromagnetic signal latency, and why it affects you more in an airplane than in your house or in a car. 

Rather than just tell viewers what latency means, my fantastic copywriter Rasheed Brown and I decided to demonstrate it with a loooooooong-scrolling infographic.

3 Tips basicos que desearia haber sabido cuando era principiante en Ableton Live

¿Estás empezando a producir pistas con Ableton Live? Una correcta configuración de Live te ahorrará muchos quebraderos de cabeza durante el proceso creativo. Por ello, te sugerimos algunos consejos de preparación para que consigas un flujo de trabajo más fluido desde el principio. Son muy simples, ¡así que comencemos!

1 – Calibra tu MIDI y latencia de audio

¿El programa tarda en empezar a capturar lo que grabas? Entonces tienes un problema de latencia. Esto puede suceder debido a la configuración de su computadora y/o su tarjeta de sonido.

Si no puede solucionarlo con una tarjeta de sonido de mayor calidad, una alternativa podría ser calibrar sus controladores y configuraciones de audio desde el DAW.

Esto es esencial para obtener resultados rápidos y precisos que se ajusten a su idea inicial mientras graba audio a través de su interfaz o introduce notas MIDI con su teclado. Si no es preciso, tendrá que estar constantemente cuantificando o ajustando manualmente sus grabaciones.

Calcula los milisegundos que tarda Live en empezar a grabar y añádelos a la opción "compensación de errores del controlador" en la pestaña "audio" del menú de preferencias.

2 – Establezca el tamaño de su búfer en las preferencias de audio

Otra forma de reducir la latencia es aumentar el tamaño del búfer. Si trabajas con un número bajo como 256 muestras, esto significa que Live tiene que procesar menos información al mismo tiempo y por lo tanto es más rápido a la hora de capturar tus grabaciones.

Sin embargo, cuando tiene que reproducir muchas pistas al mismo tiempo, Live probablemente necesitará un tamaño de búfer más grande para poder manejar tanta información a la vez. Por tanto, en esos casos tendrás que aumentarlo a 512 o incluso 1024 muestras dependiendo de tu procesador.

Entendemos que este no es un ajuste que pueda dejar preparado y olvidarse. Pero si usa esta herramienta, se ahorrará mucha ansiedad (como todos sabemos, Live puede fallar inesperadamente).

Puede ir rápido cuando se trata de cambiar el búfer usando el atajo Cmd +, en Mac o Ctrl +, en Windows, para acceder a las preferencias. Luego vaya a la pestaña Audio y seleccione el tamaño de búfer apropiado.

3 – Configura tu tarjeta de sonido y controladores

¡Hoy en día, conectas una tarjeta de sonido o un controlador MIDI a tu computadora a través de USB y magia! ya funciona automáticamente.

Sin embargo, si ese no es el caso, necesita saber algunas cosas. En primer lugar, debes elegir la tarjeta de sonido desde preferencias, en la PESTAÑA Audio, tanto en la Entrada de Audio como en la Salida de Audio. Si usas Mac seguramente tendrás que elegir el controlador CoreAudio, y si usas Windows el controlador suele ser ASIO.

Honestly you make me think of robots but not like the slim spindly wire kind or a bunch of gears together. They had a gun added to them by Team Plasma and that's cool. Electric variation I think

Seeing as to how you’re a traditionally minded man Re: aesthetic, decor, polity and the like… what is your thought on homosexuality? I agree quite much in your sentiments but I’m.. torn inside about my own inclination and those I fall in love with. I love traditionalism and the like but.. is there any room for me? (Even in a “gender role’d” style of relationship, which ironically, is my dream, me playing the domestic, supportive, receptive side…)

Hmm.. a challenging question. My short answer would be that it's a spectrum of traits that can be steered either way at key phases in human development. Childhood experience is the matrix, but I've seen it suddenly surface in mature adulthood, including married men.. even a brusque army sergeant in his 60's.

The fact that you're torn suggests a moral dilemma. Perhaps a physician or clergyman would be of help?
