But hopefully stereo11/20/2023 ![]() That is what was giving me only left signal. The original stage box had two Speakon jacks that we were using for our wedge monitors so in an attempt to reuse that I found a Speakon to 1/4 adapter and plugged the earbuds directly into that adapter. We will also be releasing new music regularly throughout the year so there is certainly lots to look forward to.After several hours of messing with it I eventually got my in ear to work as expected by changing the connectors I was using. With dates booked across Canada, and early planning of a UK tour, we can’t wait to hit the stage! We’ve got a limited edition vinyl coming out this summer featuring hand picked tracks from our discography up until this point. Retrofile is finally going to return to performing live. Retrofile: We’ve got lots of cool stuff in the works. ![]() Kat: What can we expect from Retrofile for the balance of 2023? I think we’ve learned that at a certain point success doesn’t really get better, just bigger. We’ve had fans directly reach out from all over the world to come play in their city, sometimes going as far as offering to house and feed us! When we started writing music together we could have never imagined that kind of reach. Retrofile: Honestly just connecting with the people that listen to our music and finding out that they love and care about music just as much as we do. Kat: What has been a career highlight for you so far? What have you learned along the way? Luke and I work alone in our home studio which helps us achieve singular results, but when we hit a road bump or writer’s block, there is no one else there to help us out of it. The hardest part has been learning how to record/produce/mix ourselves. Retrofile: It all comes pretty easy, never had any problems there, why who’s asking?! Just kidding. Kat: What do you find is the most challenging part of your creative process? Ideally it sounds quintessentially Retrofile with its groovy basslines, dance floor beats, synth/guitar interplay, and soaring hooks! Worst case scenario, Luke and I love it, and everybody else hates it. Retrofile: Hopefully “In Stereo” further solidifies a distinctive sound that Luke and I have been working towards on our last few releases. Kat: What do you hope fans take from the new track? The verses pull influence from Dance-Rock icons like Talking Heads, Franz Ferdinand, and LCD Soundsystem while the chorus leans towards arena Pop-Rock acts like The Killers, Tears for Fears, and The Cars. Luke and I had been looking to write a song that incorporated dance elements with anthemic elements, while acting as a cornerstone in terms of sound to the rest of the music we’ve been recording. Retrofile: “In Stereo” is our attempt at splitting the difference between our New Wave and Pop Rock influences. Kat: Can you talk about the inspiration behind Retrofile’s new single “In Stereo”? ![]() ![]() I had the opportunity to chat with the duo about their new single, their journey so far and what’s next. For more information on the show or to purchase tickets, visit here. Retrofile are excited to be celebrating the release of their new single on April 28th with their first live show in three years at the Kaffa Roastery and Studio in Edmonton, AB. They also accumulated over 750 thousand monthly listeners and over 22 million streams in 2022 on Spotify, and were selected to showcase at Canada Music Week 2023. With a wave of high energy live shows under their belts and an enthusiastic fan base backing them, Retrofile went on to release their debut EP Heard It All Before in 2019, which saw the duo invigorate their sound and look with a blend of new wave and modern pop sensibilities.Īlthough the pandemic affected the duo’s plans for touring, Retrofile took the following years to write and record new material for their debut album set to be released later this year. The single amassed hundreds of thousands of streams within months of its release and kick started their career. “In Stereo” was written, recorded, produced and mixed by twin brothers, Luke and Noah Martino, in their home studio in Edmonton with mastering done by Bryan Lowe.Įdmonton based Retrofile first burst onto the alternative music scene with the release of their debut single “Two Words” in 2017. Alternative duo Retrofile, released their highly-anticipated new single “In Stereo” on April 14th via all streaming platforms. ![]()

Mario and sonic racing11/20/2023 ![]() ![]() While the story is boring and nonsensical, I like the structure, which grants you stars and keys for competing in races and other events in a hub world. The Team Adventure story mode is an inconsequential narrative told through still character images over background environments, making the uninteresting plot even less engaging. It’s unfortunate since the team mechanics deliver a unique feel, but Team Sonic feels bland outside of that fold. Even the suite of 14 Wisp powerups are mostly just generic takes on Mario Kart’s items. Drifting around a corner to get a boost feels good, and the game has a solid sense of speed, but the uneven team mechanics are all that sets this apart from the other kart racers. However, stripping away what makes Team Sonic Racing different highlights how it is a competent-yet-unremarkable racer. If you want to compete on your own, you can do so in standard races. Since your overall placement takes your entire team’s rankings into consideration, my high placement wasn’t enough in these cases. teammates, but they still finished in the lower rankings. In a handful of races where I finished first, I offered nearly all my powerups to my lagging A.I. While the team mechanics are a net positive addition to the kart racing formula, watching a weak link bring you down in a race is frustrating. I love the idea of working together with my team to ensure they all finish near the top, but it doesn’t always pan out how I’d like. Every team-based action builds your ultimate meter, which has race-changing implications as your entire squad is made temporarily faster and invincible. Within this system, teams have multiple ways for teammates to help each other from passing items to your teammates to skimming a wiped out teammate to give them a boost, you have plenty of ways to pick up a downtrodden teammate. Technique characters like Tails and Chao can avoid getting slowed down by rough terrain, while power characters like Knuckles and Big the Cat can plow through obstacles. While I prefer speed-based characters like Sonic and Shadow, I like experimenting with the other classes. You choose from a roster of 15 characters with unique attributes split into five teams. While the driving mechanics aren’t particularly deep, new team components and a collection of 21 well-designed tracks full of alternate routes and shortcuts give you reason to dig past the surface of this kart racer. Easy and approachable controls lower the learning curve, making it so anyone can pick up and play with little introduction. Speeding around as Sonic and company is fast and enjoyable from the first lap. While the new teamwork elements create unique ways to compete on the speedway, they don’t elevate the experience enough to rise above the middling racing action. Team Sonic Racing carries on the legacy of the Sega All-Stars Racing series from last generation, but adds new team-based mechanics and a sole focus on characters from the Sonic the Hedgehog universe. That longstanding marriage lends itself well to the racing genre. The Sonic the Hedgehog franchise was built on a foundation of speed. ![]()

Story of seasons a wonderful life metacritic11/19/2023 ![]() ![]() You can rebind most of the inputs, and the keyboard input option even has additional settings for tabs of your bag.

Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life supports controllers and keyboard with mouse gameplay. Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life PC control options If this is confirmed to be an issue with just the Steam Deck, I’ll update this. I couldn’t get it to run above 60fps whatever I did. I usually test games on my Steam Deck docked through the official Docking Station on my monitor to check what frame rates are supported if there’s no in-game limiter. The game, as of this writing, seems capped at 60fps on PC. You can toggle v-sync, adjust display mode (fullscreen, borderless, and windowed), enable anti-aliasing (off, medium, high), shadows (off, medium, high), toggle anisotropic filtering, toggle bloom, and toggle light shafts.

I’ve also been impressed with how the PC version is on Steam Deck barring one issue. It has been a lovely relaxing experience on both Switch and Steam Deck over the last few weeks. As with Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town, this remake of Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life was basically a new game for me. I only got into Story of Seasons with the 3DS releases, so I never got a chance to play A Wonderful Life before. Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life, a remake of the GameCube and PS2 game, is finally out next week on multiple platforms after being revealed in a recent Nintendo Direct. ![]()

Dog muzzle for humans11/19/2023 ![]() ![]() Von Fuct, I understand how frustrating chewing dogs can be. People are only trying to give suggestions, so let's not turn this into a shoving match, okay? No one is out to debate the value of properly used muzzles. Perhaps you could present them with research on both subjects (crate vs muzzle)Ĭrate training can be abused of course: my mom's boss kept his Airedale in a crate all day long and couldn't understand why the poor dog was bonkers upon being let out. It's sad that your roommate doesn't understand the potential benefits. A muzzle could get caught on any number of things within the home, and cause alot more trouble than a dog in a crate. We have always crate trained them, and it has never harmed them. My family has owned Airedale Terriers for years and anyone with terriers will tell you what chewers they are. The fact that you yourself had suggested it to your roommate tells us that you knew of it too the wise thing would've been to just state you'd done so and leave it at that, without getting defensive. No one was slamming you by suggesting crate training. While you did ask for a pattern, Von Fuct, it isn't outside of the range of this forum for people to try to give constructive advise on alternatives. ![]() if anyone has a pattern that will fit my 62-year-old mother-in-law, I'd appreciate a holler. A dog left alone trying like crazy to work a muzzle off his face can get into lots of trouble and perhaps hurt himself.Ĭrating or even dog-proofing a spot in the garage, laundry room, bathroom or some small area where he can be comfortable in for a few hours would probably be a better idea.īut. Even with the easier breeds to muzzle, the muzzles are short-term, rather uncomfortable and distracting devices designed for veterinarian visits or other such events. I fouthed it, and not to get on a soapbox (don't even know what one looks like) but to make a muzzle heavy-duty enough to keep a Pitt Bull muzzled (somewhat short snouts for so much lower jaw, as well as all that extra jowlage and neck skin that was I believe is a trait bread into such dogs to, among other things, thwart their jaws from being held shut) it would almost have to be along the lines of Hannibal Lechter's device. And yes, the dog is stopped from doing the negative behaviors when we are around to witness them, it's when he's alone that he get's in to trouble. ![]() Yes, Duke is still a young dog and I'm sure he'll grow out of it, but I can't afford to have him eat everything in the house until he does. I have looked at other options as well, such as Bitter Apple but I would have to dose my entire house with the stuff to make a difference. More like an hour or two a day when the dog is left alone. ![]() Spence, no, I don't expect to keep the muzzle on 24/7. And no, it's not to get in to the dog muzzle buisness, it's just to get one that fits correctly, is safe and works. Duke is not an aggressive dog at all, so the muzzle is not to control biting, just his chewing. I went online and looked as well but wasn't able to find any patterns for a leather training muzzle. I talked with a couple there that had two pit bulls and they said their dog broke the muzzles they sold there in less than 30 seconds. UKRay, I did go to the pet store last night before posting this thread and all they had were flimsy cloth muzzles for smaller (weaker jawed) dogs. He has nyla bones, kongs, and various other chew toys but he still chews on things he shouldn't be when he's alone. It's when he's left alone (with my dog, Bella, a 20lb 8 year old beagle) that he tends to chew and eat everything he can get his mouth on. When he's supervised, he's fine for the most part. He's a 6 month old pit bull and still chewing on everything from the carpet, the wood door jams, electronics cables and plugs, the furniture, etc. Trauma, it's a personal job, not a commissioned piece and the purpose of the muzzle is to keep my roommates dog, Duke, from chewing on everything in the house when he is left unsupervised (which isn't that often). ![]()
