![]() ![]() Republic of Detours tells the story of this raucous and remarkable undertaking by delving into the stories of several key figures and tracing the FWP from its optimistic early days to its dismemberment by the House Committee on Un-American Activities. Under Alsberg's direction, the FWP took up the lofty goal of rediscovering America, and soon found itself embroiled in the day's most heated arguments regarding literary representation, radical politics, and racial inclusion-forcing it to reckon with the promises and failures of both the New Deal and the American experiment itself. Tune in this Sunday to C-SPAN 2 For a Television Broadcast of A Roosevelt House Presentation: Scott Borchert On his new study of FDR’s Federal Writers’ Project Republic of Detours: How the. Fishpond Fiji, Republic of Detours: How the New Deal Paid Broke Writers to Rediscover America by Scott BorchertBuy. It was a predictably eclectic organization, directed by an equally eccentric man, Henry Alsberg. All this fell within the singular purview of the Federal Writers' Project-a division of the Works Progress Administration founded to employ jobless writers, from bestselling novelists and acclaimed poets to the more dubiously qualified. Take thousands of broke writers and put them to work charting a country on the brink of social and economic collapse, with the aim of producing a rich and beguiling series of guidebooks to the forty-eight states. In spite of its inglorious end and unusual mission, the FWP was a thoroughly American institution, and it reflected the aspirations, diversity. Scott Borchert is the winner of the Living New Deals first annual New Deal Book Award for his 2021 book. ![]() The plan was as idealistic as it was audacious-and utterly unprecedented. The incredible story of a WPA program that set out to create a state-by-state guidebook to Americaand employed some of the biggest names in American letters. Throughout Republic of Detours, Borchert also makes a timely case for viewing these guidebooks assembled in part out of the narratives of formerly enslaved people and histories of 'economic struggles' as presenting a 'multitudinous' national story that was directly at odds with the Euro-centric, 'whites only' one cherished by nativists. Republic of Detours tells the story of this raucous, Whitmanesque, entirely utopian institution, from its starry-eyed early days to its dismemberment by the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

![]() Negation, the magic of deflection, evaluation, and stillness? Love it. Incantation, the stuff of magical creation? Try not to entomb the city in a horrific magical winter, but otherwise have fun. Good luck with all that.Īt least you'll have magic too. You have towers frozen in time at the moment of their collapse, you have professors plotting against one another, and you’ll have dynamic, incredibly complicated relationships between the eighty-some students themselves in your year – and every enemy you make is going to know how to make fireballs with just a stick and a bad attitude. I’d say it’s safer to explore the Academy of Mineta itself, but let’s be real: the school’s seventeen hundred years old, and it’s been the center of wizard uprisings, undead invasions, and Gods know what all else. And, of course, off at the fringes are the Dragons: the scaly old creatures that enslaved humanity, shattered the first generation of Gods, and are now just waiting for the chance to pick up where they left off. All the other flying islands that make up civilization as we know it? Just as bad as ours, only with worse food. The skies are mostly dominated by air pirates on enchanted ships of war. Best you don’t even think about the Sphinx. The old forest is full of monsters and trapped tombs and fey politics and more crazy wizards, and the old Imperial Palace… well, it’s the size of a city all on its own, and it’s still straining to contain all its ghosts and twitchy soldiers and skulking bandits.Īnd the Sphinx. That whole place was left to brew in its own shadows since the Empire of Man shook itself apart – and, honestly, it wasn’t exactly safe even when the Empire was at its peak. The city is a mess.Īlso, watch out for the Imperial Reserve. There are crazy wizards and bickering vampires and haunted restaurants and Gods only know what else. There are conspirators trying to drive our good Captain out of high office, and there’s our Captain trying to drive conspiracies nuts. There’s a thieves’ guild – or maybe several, depending on how you look at it. Watch out for Mineta, the oldest, greatest, meanest city in the world. It's ancient and rich and it looms over the world of magic like no other institution humanity has ever made.Īnd this is what you need to know to make it through your freshman year: Marvel at the improvements in the UI since the game build in our videoĪcademagia, the world's first school for wizards.Enjoy nearly endless replayability and scope.Teach, train and adventure with a Familiar from one of dozens of species.Discover and visit mysterious castles, ruins, shops and secret hide-outs.Add new effects to existing Spells as you master the vocabulary of Magic. ![]() Cast Spells from the five Pillars of Magic, or learn the Forbidden Arts.Set out upon any of over 100 Adventures.Maneuver through more than 800 possible Random Events.You can explore the campus, research in the many libraries, help your friends, visit exotic merchants or cast powerful spells: the choice is yours!

They claim him as an acquaintance but in fact hardly know him, admitting that they would not recognise him were they to see him. ![]() But such rational or "scientific" efforts never yield any solid insight, and by the end of the play Vladimir seems less sure than he did at the beginning. Waiting for Godot follows two days in the lives of a pair of men who divert themselves while they wait expectantly and in vain for someone named Godot to arrive. Vladimir often tries to explain what is going on in the world-where they are, when they are-and to show evidence to support his theories. Much has been written about Samuel Becketts Waiting for Godot, but as far as I am aware no one has compared the two characters of Vladimir and Estragon in. He seems to be the only one who is really outraged at Pozzo's horrible treatment of Lucky in act one, but he doesn't actually do anything to help him. In the plays Hamlet and Waiting for Godot, the protagonists are each given a task to complete by an authority figure: Vladimir and Estragon must wait for. He is also able to remember people's identities, unlike Estragon and Pozzo, who forget each other in act two. Unlike the other characters in the play, he has a sense of linear time and realizes that the events of act two essentially repeat those of act one. Waiting for Godot is a play written by the Irish playwright and author, Samuel Beckett. Vladimir is sure that Godot is coming, and Estragon hides behind the tree. Perfect for acing essays, tests, and quizzes, as well as for writing lesson plans. Learn exactly what happened in this chapter, scene, or section of Waiting for Godot and what it means. Perhaps the real protagonist of the play, Vladimir often seems to be more rational than his more nonsensical companion, Estragon. A summary of Part X (Section4) in Samuel Becketts Waiting for Godot.

![]() ![]() If you have a PS2 or PS3, those versions are more recommended (fewer bugs and framerate issues). They are ports of the PS2 version, run through emulation software on the PS4. However, as others pointed out, these versions have quite a few issues, as they are not proper remasters. The problems may seem small but they really build up over time.Īt this point, the PS4 versions of the first four games are the most readily available, digital only (unless you count the Limited Run Games physical releases, but those are much harder to come by now). The PS4 emulation also had locked inverted camera controls, and other visual problems like the full-screen picture in Jak 1 being cropped instead of proper full-screen or the graphics sorta breaking when playing the PAL version but these have been patched out I believe. The PS2 games targeted 60fps but could drop slightly at times. The oracle in Jak 2 is the most famous for this and personally the texture for the wave attack the final boss uses glitched out and purple untexture blocks (I'm not sure how to describe it) would take up the screen), sound problems like audio popping, analog stick controls being locked to 8 directions instead the full 360 degree range, the framerate also drops more consistently on PS4 than in the original versions. If you never played the original PS2 versions or the PS3 HD collection, it's easy to not notice the problems with the PS4 emulation like texture Issues (ex.

This is also one of the reasons why many people are still trying to find the best emulation for the PS2 because of the variety of titles made available for the console. The PlayStation 5, on the other hand, only has over 500 released titles (excluding the backward compatible ones).įor the PlayStation 2 however, it is 4,000 titles that sold 1.5 billion copies worldwide. The PlayStation 3 had 2,500 titles, and PlayStation 4 has over 3,00 titles. When the PlayStation 1 was launched, it had over 3,00 titles. The PlayStation 2, being Sony’s most popular and most successful console ever, also holds the record for having the most title released for the PlayStation ever. Thankfully, the PCSX2 optimizes the game engines for these games for modern operating systems such as Windows OS. ![]() Allows for game engine optimizationĪ game engine also referred to as “game architecture” or “game framework”, is a software development management that includes settings and configurations which helps with the optimization and simplification of video game development across all popular programming language.īefore the advent of cross-platform game engines like Unity, each game was developed using a specifically-designed game engine. Many users prefer the PS2 BIOS because it gives that needed additional options and controls. So in terms of the overall controls, most of these games may be lacking all the extra nifty feature controls that many of us are accustomed to today. The following the some of the best features of the PS2 BIOS: Adds more options to control the gameĪll of the classic Sony PlayStation 2 games were developed over two decades ago. This is the reason why a specific BIOS file for a specific version of the PS2 emulator is needed to be able to run and emulate classic games smoothly and efficiently. It is built to emulate the Sony PlayStation 2 hardware by combining MIPS CPU interpreters (Microprocessor without Interlocked Pipeline), recompilers, and a virtual machine that manages the PlayStation 2’s hardware states, and system memory. The PS2 BIOS is compatible with most operating systems like Windows and macOS. It initializes and tests the hardware components to make sure everything will work as smoothly as intended, load up the bootloader or the operating system, and provide an abstraction layer for I/O devices. It is basically the first thing the hardware reads during the boot-up process, hence it is a critical component of every computer system. Thankfully, the PCSX2 emulator doesn’t include region locking so it should be pretty easy to find one on the internet.īIOS, or Basic Input/Output, is a set of instructions built into the system which initializes the hardware whenever it is switched on. Now, this isn’t easy if you don’t own actual PS2 hardware. However, for you to be able to use the emulator, you will need a specific PS2 BIOS file. During the installation process, users may select which programming language to use, and run the configuration task BIOS configuration. ![]() What is PS2 BIOS?Īs mentioned above, the PCSX2 is a computer program that emulates the PlayStation 2 experience on your computer. In this article, we will find out why PlayStation fans prefer the PS2 BIOS, and how to download and install it on your computer. One of the most popular, however, is the PCSX2 or PS2 BIOS. PlayStation 2 is no exception as many emulators exist online, allowing us to revisit older games. With nostalgia becoming a modern getaway from the burn-outs of the fast-paced world, things that we have forgotten about have suddenly upped in relevance. ![]() It's possible that not all of the following rules are required, but it took me long enough to stumble upon this magic combination and it appears to work. I found that I had to add height: 100% on the HTML and BODY elements. That is so handy the function name smart scroll. No combination of capturing touchmove, scroll etc events had any effect, and position: relative on body made everything disappear. When my friend is had a samsung galaxy note 3 he showed me one function witch I miss. I'm late to the party, but I'm adding this answer because none of the other things I tried worked in my specific situation. (Be wary of the advice of some to add attributes like initial-scale and width to the meta tag if you're using a canvas, because canvasses scale their contents, unlike block elements, and you'll wind up with an ugly canvas, more often than not). ![]() Which you do with the meta tag in your markup: Īll of these put together give you an app-like experience, probably a best fit for canvas. However, scrolling is one thing, but you probably want to disable zoom as well. Choose from the following options: GPS, Wi-Fi, and mobile networks : This option has the highest level of accuracy, using GPS, Wi-Fi, and mobile data networks interchangeably to estimate your location. Window.addEventListener("touchmove", preventMotion, false) Īnd in your stylesheet, make sure your body and html tags include the following: html: To answer OP, the only thing you seem to need to do to disable scrolling is intercept the window's scroll and touchmove events and call preventDefault and stopPropagation on the events they generate like so window.addEventListener("scroll", preventMotion, false) ![]() I suspect most everyone really wants to disable zoom/scroll in order to put together a more app-like experience because the answers seem to contain elements of solutions for both zooming and scrolling, but nobody's really nailed either one down. ![]() ![]() When Ive’s departure from Apple was announced in 2019, it was said that Apple would be a client of LoveFrom. He joined LoveFrom in May of 2020 in an engineering role. ![]() Tiller was hired at Apple to handle “administrative matters” within Apple’s design team, and he now works on “supporting design” at LoveFrom.įinally, Kessler worked on Apple product design from 2007 to 2017. Tiller joined Apple in 2017 after serving as a communications staff member in President Obama’s administration. Wilson joined LoveFrom in July 2020, while Wan came on board in May 2021. Wan contributed to the interface of the iPhone’s Weather app and the design of buttons in the iOS Control Center, while Wilson helped design the iCloud icon and several user interfaces for the Apple Watch’s operating system, according to patent filings. The two designers, for example, share credit on a patent for the Health app icon in Apple’s iOS operating system and also were part of a team that designed the Apple Watch’s home screen. The report sheds light on some of their work at Apple: Wilson joined Apple in 2007 and worked alongside Wan on the human interface design team. Wan Si was a 16-year veteran of Apple’s human interface design team before departing for LoveFrom. All four of these people previously worked in Ive’s design group at Apple, the report says. The report cites a “person with knowledge of the situation” and says that four former Apple employees now work alongside Ive at LoveFrom: Wan Is, Chris Wilson, Patch Kessler, and Jeff Tiller. A new report from The Informationtoday details that “at least four” Apple design members have also since departed Apple to join Ive at his new design company.
