![]() Scratch Live has always been limited to just five cue points per deck, which has been great and usually enough for what most DJs do, but there are times another cue point or two would be handy. Being that the effects are on a chain, you can keep rearranging the effects in different order to create dozens of different sounding effects to drive any dance floor into a sweaty mess. With the iZotope MULTI FX plug-in, you can use single effect slots or combine up to six different effects in chain to create unique sounds and textures. Now, for the first time, the power of iZotope is available to DJs as a free plug-in within Serato DJ. For years, iZotope has been creating the world’s best audio software for professional music production programs like Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cakewalk, Nuendo, Digital Performer, and others.

The new and improved four-deck view in Serato DJ gives you all four decks, in the same side-by-side format of the two-deck view, but with another pair of decks conveniently underneath for all those four-deck lovers out there. Within Scratch Live, the four-deck view displays each virtual deck stacked one on top of the other. One of the great feature enhancements added to Serato DJ is the redesigned four-deck view (pictured below). The virtual deck layout looks a little different, but all the familiar features-cue points, loops, keylock and censor button-are next to the spinning deck displays, just like they are in Scratch Live. When used with the Rane Sixty-Four mixer, Serato DJ gives you the same two-or four-deck display options at the top of the screen. As mentioned earlier, your music library and crates are displayed within the same area below the virtual decks, so no surprises there. refreshed look, same great feelĪt first glance, Serato DJ may look slightly different, but the overall layout and work-flow is practically identical to Scratch Live.

![]() You can also use a silicone baking mat to line your cooking pans. Keep in mind that greasing a cookie sheet and baking the cookies directly on the surface of the pan will yield a slightly more crisp outer layer than when using parchment paper.

Looking for ways to make it more of a challenge, I'd head to forums to see if anyone was talking about challenges or whatnot and see pages and pages of threads of people asking how to cheat their characters to godhood.įor myself, though, Dredmor has a weird and addictive fascination. There have been tons of times I've heard scuttlebutt that a game is hard (strategically hard, not arcade hard) and tried it and threw down my keyboard in disgust at how easy it was. ![]() That said, the impression I get is that most of today's players want games they can Leroy Jenkins their way through. if you halfway know how to play games and pay attention, you'll almost surely win once you know what the enemies can do.

I'm considering scrapping the mod, leaving only Android Origins on Steam intact, but only if I'm certain that no one's interested in Dredmor anymore. But I'm just wondering since my Android Rogue Mod is only 1/3 finished, and wouldn't be worth continuing if no one bothers to use it.

The only exception is that the High-Jump boots Energy Tank location is considered minor, and right Super Missile in Wrecked ship is considered major for balancing purposes. Unlike SMZ3, SM Rando also tends to be run with a "Major/Minor split" - ammo upgrades are considered "minor" items, and are shuffled around to the minor item locations, whereas unique items and energy tanks are shuffled around to the major item locations.

All in all, it’s definitely a great randomizer for its unique premise, and I’m excited to see what other features Nax adds over time. I had quite a number of situations where I was rapidly bouncing between the games for just one or two checks, while later I just spent hours in one game on a roll without ever switching. Wrapping your head around the logic it uses can take some getting used to. ![]() The dungeon entrance and boss randomizers in particular are quite entertaining, catching me off guard as I suddenly switch to Majora’s Mask when Dodongo’s Cavern leads to the Great Bay Temple only to have Goht waiting for me at the end. I’ve played a couple seeds on OoTMM so far, and I find it quite fun. Within the last week, the ability to disable certain locations and share inventories across games was added to the stable release. However, Nax drops updates incredibly frequently for OoTMM. ![]() It’s worth noting that OoTMM is still relatively in its infancy compared to other established randomizers like Testrunner’s Ocarina of Time Randomizer and ZoeyZolotova’s Majora’s Mask Randomizer, so it doesn’t quite have the vast array of options that those do. Otherwise, the games are relatively untouched from their standard randomizer states. In fact, trading items actually reappear upon resetting time in order to accommodate potentially having to partially complete quests or use items for different purposes. Certain items like Stray Fairies, Skulltula Tokens, and trading quest items no longer vanish when you return to the start of the three-day cycle. In order to make the whole affair a bit less painful, Nax has implemented a number of alterations to Majora’s Mask‘s mechanics. The system is surprisingly fluid and works incredibly well, with Link able to travel to Majora’s Mask through the mask shop in Castle Town and back to Ocarina of Time through the clock tower in Clock Town. In this way, one can find masks squirreled away in the Water Temple while finding medallions hidden away in Ikana Canyon. OoTMM, as it is colloquially known, takes the standard randomizer formula but mixes items across both Nintendo 64 Zelda games, allowing the player to transition between both games almost seamlessly. The result is quite possibly the wildest randomizer since the Link to the Past– Super Metroid Crossover Randomizer. Github Developer Nax sought out to find the answer to just such a question. ![]() “These results were modest, but we believe a higher dose of taurine could produce stronger evidence for its benefits,” Freitas said.įor Gabriela Abud, first author of the article and currently a PhD candidate at the Ribeirão Preto Medical School (FMRP-USP), changes in the volunteers’ diet in the early months of the pandemic owing to lockdown may have affected the results of the biochemical analysis. ![]() Two other markers of oxidative stress were analyzed besides SOD: the antioxidant enzyme glutathione reductase (GR), which decreased significantly in both groups, and malondialdehyde (MDA), which increased 23% in the control group and decreased 4% in the taurine supplementation group. However, with the advent of the pandemic and the fact that the volunteers belonged to a high-risk group for COVID-19 complications, the researchers decided to continue only with the nutritional part of the study, which could be monitored remotely. Physical activity is considered one of the main ways of modulating levels of oxidizing substances and antioxidants in the organism, and the right amount is believed to boost the benefits of taurine. The original idea was to investigate the effect of taurine supplementation combined with exercise training, and both interventions separately. This was very novel, so we began with a very low safety dose,” Freitas said. We then decided to test the strategy in the context of aging. “The results showed that oxidative stress in these individuals could be controlled when their diet was supplemented with this amino acid. The group led by Freitas has studied taurine’s antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects for ten years or more, initially in high-performance athletes and later in obese individuals, with daily doses ranging from 3 g to 6 g. It is also naturally produced in some tissues of the human body, especially the liver, and is important to the functioning of the central nervous system, immunity, eyesight and fertility. ![]() Taurine is a nutrient found in certain foods, such as fish, shellfish, chicken, turkey and beef. “This study was a first step, aimed at investigating the ideal dose and possible side effects, none of which was observed in any of the participants,” she said. “Preventing the buildup of free radicals that naturally occurs with aging probably prevents cardiovascular disease, diabetes and high blood pressure, among other chronic conditions,” said Ellen de Freitas, a professor at the Ribeirão Preto School of Physical Education and Sports (EEFERP-USP) and co-principal investigator for a project supported by FAPESP.Īccording to Freitas, very few studies of the effects of taurine in the context of aging can be found in the scientific literature. As the authors explain, SOD protects cells against harmful reactions of the superoxide radical. One of the most interesting results was an increase of almost 20% in levels of the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the group that received taurine, compared with a decrease of 3.5% in the control group. Markers of oxidative stress were analyzed in blood samples collected before and at the end of the intervention. Neither the participants nor the researchers knew which group each volunteer belonged to. ![]() The other took capsules containing only corn starch (placebo). One group took three 500 mg capsules of taurine per day for 16 weeks (1.5 g per day). They were randomly divided into two groups. The study described in the article was conducted at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil and involved 24 women volunteers aged between 55 and 70. According to an article published in the journal Nutrition, supplementing one’s diet with the amino acid taurine could be a viable nutritional strategy to combat the problem. Our bodies contain a veritable arsenal of antioxidant enzymes that help maintain an appropriate reactive oxygen species balance, but these control mechanisms become less efficient as we get older. Some of these molecules perform functions essential to the organism, but if there are too many of them the cells’ internal structures can be damaged, preventing the cells from functioning properly and potentially leading to chronic disease. By Karina Toledo | Agência FAPESP – When our cells process the oxygen we breathe and the food we eat every day in order to survive, they generate potentially toxic by-products popularly known as “free radicals”. After attending the Southernpiece Auction, the two stole a copy of the game Greed Island and bring it back to their hideout. At the same time, he explains Pakunoda's death and she was thankful to them before they left. Phinks explained to them that they have no intentions to harm them and are unable to kill Kurapika as his death will render him to bemore powerful. Phinks and Feitan met Gon and Killua on the auction, they attempted to flee although the two easily pursued them. At the end of the arc, Pakunoda sacrificed herself by using her Nen ability to reveal Kurapika's powers to the other members. He also put a blade on Pakunoda's heart, requiring her to return Gon and Killua by midnight unharm and without deception and preventing her from revealing anything about Kurapika. During the exchange, Kurapika put a blade on Chrollo's heart, preventing him from using his Nen and/or contacting the other Phantom Troupe members. A hostage exchange was set up to trade Gon and Killua for Chrollo. Pakunoda read their memories and discovered Kurapika's weakness, but Kurapika immediately captured Chrollo and threatened to kill him if Pakunoda spoke of Gon's or Killua's memories. Eventually, they discovered that Kurapika killed Uvogin and went after him, but captured Gon and Killua instead. Gon criticizes them of hypocrisy as they care deeply about each other, but mercilessly murder innocent people. Chrollo fought Silva and Zeno Zoldyck in the Cemetery Building although they stopped after realizing that he hired Illumi, Kalluto, and Maha Zoldyck to assassinate the Ten Dons of the Mafia community (the Ten Dons also hired Silva and Zeno to assassinate Chrollo). However, after Kurapika kills Uvogin, they shift their focus to getting revenge on the one who killed Uvogin by wreaking havoc into Yorknew City and slaughtering the many members of the Mafia community. ![]() Their initial goal is to attack the Yorknew City auction.

Soonafter, one of the casts named Sarasa went missing, causing Chrollo to postpone the next screening which was aired in a church in Meteor City. They simply pick the name "Troupe" due to the group member's numbers and have no idea for a whole name. Him, Feitan, Machi, Pakunoda, Uvogin, and Franklin are all founding members.Īctually, the founding Troupe members are a group of children doing dubbed voice-acting of films they found in the junkyard. People who live there do not exist on any official records, and the existence of the city is only known to a few people. Prior to the events of the series, Chrollo Lucilfer established the Phantom Troupe on Meteor City, a junkyard city inhabited by outcasts. Their leader and most powerful member is Chrollo Lucilfer. ![]() The group consists of a total of thirteen members, all of whom are extremely potent Nen users, each with a numbered tattoo of a spider on their body. Collectively, they serve as Kurapika's archenemies, being the ones responsible for killing his entire clan 5 years before the beginning of the series. They serve as the main antagonistic faction of the Yorknew City Arc, supporting antagonists of the Greed Island Arc, minor anti-villains during the Chimera Ant Arc, and a major antagonistic faction of the Succession Contest Arc. The Phantom Troupe (in Japanese: 幻影旅団, Genei Ryodan) is a world-famous gang of thieves and a criminal organization and is one of the main antagonistic organizations of the anime/manga series Hunter X Hunter. ~ Chrollo Lucifer founding the Phantom Troupe.
