It takes into account who's hot and who's not, injuries, call ups. However, 'MLB Today' is a new season mode where you pick your favorite team and, very literally, play along with real life. You've got your standard exhibition matches, home run derby, playoff runs, and franchise modes. The game is easy enough to pick up and play, and you have a whole host of different modes to get your fix of America's pastime. That doesn't even include the times that I would clearly tell everyone to advance and they simply wouldn't. It's rare that I'll resort to looking up how to do something that should be obvious, but the fact is even after checking in the insert, I double-checked because it still wouldn't work as advertised. If there is more than one guy on base, trying to get one to hold on and one to advance is damn near impossible. Getting players to round first base after a hit into the gap never seemed to work properly. Having said that, the base running is absolutely maddening. Unfortunately, that's ultimately how batting in 2K12 feels.įielding is a similar vexation, but that's more to do with poor animations than anything (more on that later). They say batting in the majors is the hardest skill in all of sports, but I doubt any pro would tell you it feels like luck when you get a hit. I'd take part in batting drills just to practice pulling hits or going to the opposite field, but I never really felt like I was in control. Using analog sticks for batting is a great idea, and can be incredibly rewarding when executed correctly. I say that because the batting, fielding, and base running are all less than stellar. It's a well-conceived balancing act that is more true to the actual game of baseball than any other part of the 2K12 experience. Not performing the proper movement results in a "bad gesture," which I just think sounds funny, but also further diminishes accuracy. If the reticule overfills then you will overthrow the pitch, resulting in a loss of control. You have less time to make the correct movement. Of course, as your pitcher gets tired, or more importantly rattled, the margin for error shrinks. It sounds overly complicated, but once I got used to it I actually enjoyed my time on the mound. A proper curve ball involves moving the stick to the side first, then rotating it around to a point on the other side. The opposite is the case for a change up, but things get more complicated with breaking pitches. For a fastball it's pretty basic, pull back then push straightforward. The first motion controls the speed as the reticule fills up. It works like this: pick your pitch, choose your placement with the left analog stick, then make a prescribed, two-part motion with the right stick. Since it's been a while for me, I wasn't used to the pitching mechanics of the 2K series. Sadly, pretty much everything else: the core mechanics, graphics, animations, and controls (apart from the pitching) are just plain poor. For those of you not in the know, the first person to pitch a perfect game last year won a million dollars! Well, I'm happy to report that I encountered only a few bugs that, while none of them were game breaking, caused some raised eyebrows and a few chuckles. I have to admit though, I was curious about the possibility of winning a million bucks. Apparently it didn't work particularly well on a technical level, so you'll understand my hesitation with Major League Baseball 2K12. I haven't played a baseball game in a couple of years, mostly because I heard nothing but bad things about Major League Baseball 2K11. I have to admit, I'm at best a fair weather baseball fan.

So yeah, I come with all sorts of quirks, fun and less fun. I would never have predicted what has happened to me, but again, zero regret. When I moved out, I first thought I was going to lead a normal life, graduate, get girls, all that. Self-discovery can surprise you, in fun or less fun ways. These projects all fell to my ADHD, and melonDS would likely have met a similar fate without the team and without the emulation community in general. I mean, I have quite a bunch of old projects, and none of them have lasted as long as melonDS has. Of course, I also have to thank the rest of the team, and everyone else who got involved, for sticking around and helping make melonDS what it is today. melonDS, having existed within this timeframe, is also part of this whole adventure of self-discovery for me. It's been a rocky adventure to say the least, but I don't regret any of it. Why did it take until November to see any real work on it? One of the reasons was that I moved out of my parents' home in June that same year. The melonDS repo was actually created in May 2016. I'm also going to give you an occasion to know more about melonDS and the little team behind it! He also working on addressing the shortcomings of our OpenGL renderer, like the lack of proper upscaling in dual-screen 3D scenarios. I have already explained why it's hard to emulate, so instead of going in detail over that, I will simply state that Generic is working on getting it stable. melonDS is largely known as 'the wifi emulator', so it's lame that local multiplayer is still this finicky. One of the requirements for it is getting local multiplayer stable. I also want to add an interface for modifying user settings, among other fun things.ġ.0 may not come in the near future, though. One would be configurable paths for save files and such - I have some ideas for a clean system for these. we will keep you informed, as usual :)Īs I said in the last post, we're in the process of making melonDS less obtuse for the average emu user, and while we're at it, there are some more popular-request features we may throw in for the next release. However, depending on how development and testing goes. Speaking of, I would have loved to provide a birthday release, but the tight timings and usual factors (real-life shito, ADHD. And now, the 'DS emulator, sorta' is turning into something completely serious. To think, back then, it was just that little project I started for the sake of it. We don't realize, but that's quite a bunch of time. I'm one day late, oops! Regardless, counting from the first real commit, melonDS is 5 years old. I will also redesign the downloads page as to feature a tools section with this, among others.Ĩ comments (last by anonymouse) | Post a comment The dumper will place the dumped files in a folder named dsidump, rather than dumping them in your SD card's root. The NAND is dumped with a 'nocash footer' (small data block holding the eMMC CID and console ID, required for decryption) added at 0xFF800. By the way, the dumps should now be correct- there was a bug in the previous dumper, where some of augmented bits were read from wrong addresses, although these particular bits don't seem to be important. This dumper is also a tad smarter: it will warn you if the data required for proper augmented BIOS dumps has been altered. It is now able to dump all the files you need for DSi emulation: NAND, DS-mode firmware, BIOSes. I have been updating the DSi BIOS dumper, to hopefully make DSi mode more accessible. The other team members are also working on cool things, even if they might not be as talkative as me.ġ2 comments (last by RECKZ_RZ) | Post a comment There will also be some additions, like proper HTTPS.įinally, happy birthday Generic! The melonDS HQ will bring you your melon-cake tonight.Įven if I'm not posting here, you can follow me on Twitter for smaller melonDS updates (but also a lot of other bullshit). I will keep you informed about this, as there will be a downtime whenever I get round to migrating everything to the new server. More modern, better specs, more secure, all you want. Next, I'm setting up a new server that will eventually replace the server Kuribo64 runs on. I'm not going to go over these things in public. It's a mix of your typical winter depression and other things, family-related.

That doesn’t mean that in the first game had nearly identical characters! Raiden could instantly zap in and out of range, Scorpion could throw his harpoon and drag his opponents towards him and Sub-Zero could freeze foes. At first the only distinction is their different special moves, but as the series progressed, they drifter farther apart until even their simple moves caused different amounts of damage. There is an array of playable characters. Each character has his or her own reasons for participating in the tournament, and their stories are revealed by playing in arcade mode, although sometimes the information contradicts sequels and/or prequels. Raiden, the god of thunder, takes the side of the humans of Earthrealm and fights for mortals while also helping the fighters become stronger, as he is not able to do everything alone.

He has put in a lot at stake by trying to recreate the memory of a tragedy too horrible to forget. Khushwant Singh, an unconventional columnist and author, has infused this book with his compassion for humanity. The inhabitants don’t even get a chance to bid goodbye. The most poignant passage in the book is the point where the government makes the decision to transport all the Muslim families from Mano Majra to Pakistan.Ī convoy of soldiers arrive in the village and orders the Muslims to board within 10 minutes. This train was the first gory incident witnessed by the villagers. Things take an ugly turn when a train full of corpses make an unscheduled stop at Mano Majra. Train to Pakistan is the story of this isolated village that is plunged into the. When the village money-lender, a Hindu, is murdered, Jugga and Iqbal are rounded up. Orient Blackswan, 1988 - History - 206 pages. The inhabitants, are mostly Sikh farmers and their Muslim tenants who have remained relatively untouched by the bloodshed. The village, Mano Majra, is on the railway line that crosses river Sutlej. In barely over two hundred pages, we are introduced to a powerful cast - the district magistrate Hukum Chand, a forlorn realist, his subordinate a sub-inspector, the village rogue ‘Jugga’, a Sikh always in and out of prison, and Iqbal, an educated social worker. The author recreates a tiny village in Punjab. Translated into many languages, the novel depicts the humane dimension of this gruesome tragedy. Khushwant Singh, who was over thirty at the time of partition wrote Train to Pakistan in 1956. Partition of India - one of the most heart-wrenching chapters in the world history, where more than a million people were killed or dislodged from their dwelling. Thus, the interaction of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and their lipid mediators in the context of inflammation is complex and still not properly understood.Īrachidonic acid Dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid Eicosanoid Gamma-linolenic acid Inflammation Linoleic acid.Ĭopyright © 2018 Elsevier Ltd. Multitrack audio and MIDI recording, pro-quality editing and effects, and over 3,000 genre-spanning, studio-quality loops to use in remixes, mash-ups, and original music creations. Contrastingly, there is also evidence that a high omega-6 fatty acid diet inhibits the anti-inflammatory and inflammation-resolving effect of the omega-3 fatty acids. ACID Music Studio was developed to be the best way to bring your music to life and share it with others. Epidemiological studies have even suggested that ARA and LA may be linked to reduced inflammation. However, studies in healthy human adults have found that increased intake of ARA or LA does not increase the concentrations of many inflammatory markers. Hence, it is commonly believed that increasing dietary intake of the omega-6 fatty acids ARA or its precursor linoleic acid (LA) will increase inflammation. ARA is a precursor to a number of potent pro-inflammatory mediators including well described prostaglandins and leukotrienes, which has led to the development of anti-inflammatory pharmaceuticals that target the ARA pathway to successfully control inflammation. In humans on a Western diet, the omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid arachidonic acid (ARA) makes a significant contribution to the fatty acids present in the membrane phospholipids of cells involved in inflammation. However, excessive or unresolved inflammation can lead to uncontrolled tissue damage, pathology and disease. Inflammation is a normal process that is part of host defence and tissue healing. |
