If you don’t press either key, it outputs 0. It outputs 1 if you press W and -1 if you press S. It also outputs an Axis Value, which is the Scale values you set earlier.

Now that you have the mappings set up, you need to use them to move. After that, create a new key and set it to A. Next, you need to do the same for moving left and right. Using the resulting vector, you can make your Pawn move forward and backward. If the scale is negative, the vector points backward. This will give you a vector that points forward if the scale is positive. Later, you’ll multiply the scale value with the Pawn’s forward vector. The Axis Value and Input Scale section describes what it is and how to use it. Note: If you’d like to learn more about the Scale field, you can refer to the same Blueprints Tutorial mentioned above.

Key mapping is how you define which keys will perform actions. Note: If you’d like to know about mappings, you can learn about them in this Blueprints Tutorial. To do this, you’ll map movement to the W, A, S and D keys.

To anyone following my posts lately, I have been working in modifying HyperSpin so that it can run all modern versions of RetroArch. If you are a Shield owner there are ways to downgrade it back to Android 9, but for now I would encourage new users to try other frontends as neither the official beta version nor the modded APK are really up to standard (for users already that are already invested in the ecosystem, currently Android 9 and the modded APK are still working better than Android 11+ and the Beta APK). Just a heads up: The modded APK only works with Android 9 or earlier. So, for now, I'm "un-deprecating" the modded APK - at least until a new official version of HyperSpin gets published to Google Play Store. Unfortunately it looks like development has slowed down again. Update 2: The last official HyperSpin for Android Beta version can be found bellow. Having said that, the beta version is suffering from several issues (No support for SAF, no ability to launch several emulators, suffering from some instability, etc). Please use the official HyperSpin version instead. Update: As recently introduced support for newer versions of RetroArch in the official version of HyperSpin this mod is officially deprecated. Also, have the specific cores selected for each system in the system specific Retroarch configuration within RocketLauncherUI. I can't figure it, but it is so close to working. This goes for the settings in RocketLauncherUI and Retroarch. Off it loads a window with an overflow of gibberish (likely from the bad core config). I have turned on settings per core and turned them off. This can be repeated for other systems, so it seems it is dependent on the most recently loaded system. Go to load Goldeneye64 and get a black screen. Go back to Hyperspin, load Lion King for Sega and all is well. Back out, open Retroarch, detect core load Sonic. Now if I go to load Sonic the screen goes black. ![]() I can then go into Hyperspin and load Goldeneye64 no problem. If I load Super Mario 64 from Retroarch using detect core it loads perfectly. However, from Hyperspin, only the most recently emulator loaded directly from Retroarch will successfully load, all others go to a black screen.Įxample. I have Retroarch, and from the RocketLauncherUI I am able to successfully load all of the emulators I want to. So I know this is specific, but it seems some other articles/posts run into a somewhat similar issue. ![]() ![]() ![]() However, this is not something you need to worry about because most audio interfaces or mixers have this feature. Usually, this type of microphone requires phantom power, which is an external power source. They do not require extensive mic techniques and can pick up the sound from relatively further away without affecting its qualities too much. They are very sensitive and offer better sound clarity. You can find either version of the dynamic microphone, USB or XLR.Ĭondenser Microphones are best suited for controlled environments. The only downside being that the speaker needs to stay relatively close to the microphone, otherwise the sound might not be captured properly. This makes them optimal for podcasting in unpredictable environments. They are very durable and highly capable of blocking noise. There are also other types of microphones but this would deviate from the purpose of this article.ĭynamic microphones are the ones used by musicians on stage. There are two main types of microphones: Dynamic and Condenser. Dynamic or Condenser this is the question! However, if portability is your prime deciding factor or you simply do not wish to invest money in an audio interface the USB microphone might be your best option. In most cases, an XLR microphone is the better option, because it is more versatile and has a better type of connector. Most podcasters prefer to use this type of setup because it facilitates the workflow and gives them better and faster control over the recording. Because you can’t plug your XLR cable straight into your computer, connecting the two requires an additional piece of gear an audio interface. It relies on three or seven pins to transport electricity, and this makes this type of connection more reliable. The XLR is a professional type of connector usually found on professional equipment. Unless you only ever want to record yourself it might be a better option to choose an XLR microphone. Recording with two or more USB mics is possible however, it is far from optimal and can become frustrating very fast. ![]() This might be problematic if you wish to expand your podcast. The real disadvantage when it comes to a USB microphone is that it is only great for a one-person set-up. For this reason, it is also more portable, you just plug it into your computer and start recording. They are very easy to use and require less gear and fewer steps in the set-up process. What microphone should you choose?ĭepending on your needs you might opt for a USB or XLR microphone.Ī USB microphone is a good alternative for a one-person show. It is the one responsible for your sound, and at an entry-level price, you will be able to record high-quality audio. There are 5 things you need to keep in mind when thinking about how to record a podcast:Īssuming you already own a computer, the first and most important piece of gear in your setup is the microphone. On the other hand, the upside is that your podcast will sound professional and you will be one step closer to your goals. Getting past this technical barrier is easier than you might expect and doesn’t have to be expensive. People don’t spend too much time on content that has poor audio quality, therefore they will never get a chance to really discover your podcast. It might be tempting to believe that the fastest and easiest option is the best option, however in a format like podcasting where the audio is the prime focus it is very hard to grow an audience if your podcast is hard to listen to. Record my podcast with my phone or built-in microphone from my laptop? So, if you’ve got your idea and you want to get started you’ve come to the right place. Starting a podcast now is the same as if you had started a YouTube channel in 2012. If you feel you are late to the party you couldn’t be further from the truth. This relatively new industry has a huge potential for expansion. There was never a better time to start a podcast than right now. ![]() Whether you are doing it to promote your business, educate your employees or just want to have your own show, it will give you all the information you need to record professional audio.

Klein and Cancian also address claims that changing demographics in the military may be driving the decline in scores. ![]() Because the decline concerns all college graduates, it has likely also impacted the other military services. Therefore, the authors posit, as more people who may not have obtained four-year degrees in the past receive them, more people who would otherwise not be eligible for commissions become viable applicants. So what’s causing this steady decline in GCT scores? According to Klein and Cancian, the decline in officer quality might actually have to do with the fact that more people are receiving college degrees than ever before: The authors note that the decrease of GCT scores over time correlates to an increase in the college participation rate during that same period.Ī four-year degree is required to become an officer. Why more Americans going to college might be having unexpected effects on officer quality In other words, today’s Marine officers scored nearly an entire standard deviation worse, on average, than their predecessors 34 years ago. Taken together, the 8.2-point drop in average score represents 80 percent of an entire standard deviation’s decline (from 10.5 in 1980 to 9.6 in 2014).Over 34 years, the average score decreased by 6.6 percent, from 130.9 to 122.1.At the upper end of the distribution, 4.9 percent of those taking the test scored above 150 in 1980 compared to 0.7 percent in 2014.In 2014, only 59 percent exceeded that score. Eighty-five percent of those taking the test in 1980 exceeded a score of 120, which was the cut-off score for officers in World War II.Through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Marine Corps, Klein and Cancian received data on the GCT scores of all officers-46,000 altogether-from Fiscal Year 1980 to Fiscal Year 2014.Īfter analyzing the data, the authors uncovered a startling trend: A statistically significant decline in scores over the past 34 years, the magnitude of which, the authors say, “is relevant given the distribution of the scores.” TBS is a six-month course that all Marine officers attend after completing two prior requirements: Obtaining a four-year college degree and attending Officer Candidate School. The Marine Corps, however, still administers the GCT to officers at The Basic School (TBS) because it strongly predicts their success there. Designed to have a mean score of 100, with a standard deviation of 20, 120 was used as the bar for entry into Marine Officer Candidate School (OCS).Īfter World War II, the military replaced the GCT with the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB). military? The GCT dates back to World War II, when it was developed to help classify incoming servicemen. ![]() ![]() So what exactly is the GCT, and how are the scores used by the U.S. The General Classification Test (GCT) from World War II to present day So are today’s officers up to the task? In new research, Brookings’ Michael Klein and Tufts University’s Matthew Cancian-a former Marine officer who served in Afghanistan-take a closer look at this question and uncover a troubling pattern.Īfter analyzing test scores of 46,000 officers who took the Marine Corps’ required General Classification Test (GCT), Klein and Cancian find that the quality of officers in the Marines, as measured by those test scores, has steadily and significantly declined over the last 34 years. Decades later, at the height of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, 60 percent of new enlisted recruits met the high quality standard.īut what about military officers? Though commissioned officers comprise only about 16 percent of the force, they clearly have a major impact on the success of the military as a whole given their leadership role for their troops and responsibility for strategy and tactics. In 1977, 27.1 percent of new enlisted recruits met the military’s standard for being “high quality,” meaning that they possessed a high school diploma and above-average intelligence relative to the U.S. When the United States ended the draft and transitioned to an all-volunteer military in 1973, there was concern about who would join and whether the transition would negatively impact the quality of the force, which many suspected it would.Īs it turns out, the quality of the force as a whole actually increased over time. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Being with Paxton also made Devi realise that things don’t necessarily get better just because you’re in the romantic relationship of your dreams. She challenged him and pushed him to be his best self, and Devi, who can be a little hot-headed and impulsive, tempered those instincts with Paxton. Relationships, be it friendship or romantic, are all about growth.ĭevi and Paxton got together in a way that made sense. Never Have I Ever doesn’t look at relationships like that. Usually, the protagonist is saddled with a main love interest, and everything about the relationship is so intense and soulmate heavy. ![]() Compared to other shows or movies centered around teens, Never Have I Ever does such a fantastic job with its relationships. In any romantic relationship, it’s essential to know your worth and have the dynamic feel equal, and not like you’re constantly trying to play catch up. It’s one thing to want to be together, but it’s difficult to persevere in the face of the whispers of the gossip mill.
