![]() The primary new feature in v0.45 is Zzap! 64 review integration so that you can now right-click on a game and, if it has a review, you can jump right to the review, either via web or local copy (if you have the magazine module installed)Īll Zzap! 64 reviewed games are in their own playlist in Launchbox so that you can quickly access all relevant games at onceĪ randomized playlist of SID music plays whenever you start magazines or specific Zzap! 64 reviews - this can be disabled via the Configurator.exe if so desired please note that this only works for the local versions of the magazines currently while playing, you can display the music player via Numpad 8, hide it via Numpad 2, pause/resume via Numpad 5, change to the next track via Numpad 6, and change to the previous track via Numpad 4 pressing Escape will close both the reader and the music player I'll save the exhaustive changelog (which is quite massive at this point) until the actual release of v0.45 but some points of interest are below: I would not recommend importing this into an existing Launchbox library since you'll have to do it all over again in a few weeks once the final release is out. I'll be working on the remaining 100 games for the update in the interim so that should give you guys some time to beat on it. If anyone has any issues, please let me know so I can address them (if possible) before the actual release of v0.45. yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayĪlright y'all, all the remaining fanart boxes are now done and all 2900 games in the current WIP are tested and good to go, which means it's time to do the public test. Just for good measure I've been going through and color and contrast-correcting the screenshots in the collection as large portions of GB64's screenshots have a bizarre red-tint or low-contrast where black is gray. More to come (hopefully) soon!ĮDIT: Oh, and I almost forgot. My plan once I finish going through all 2900 is to release a public test as a fair bit of backend stuff has changed since v0.35 and I want people to beat on this as much as possible and report any issues before I do a proper release.Īnyway, that's it for now. I have 2882 of the current 2900 games tested and done. Once that's all done I'll be getting back to business as normal. ![]() This is something that's bugged me for quite a while so it'll be nice to have that squared away. The ultimate goal being that once all of them are done there will be no games in the collection that are only using screenshots for covers. I'm hoping to have the rest finished within a week. I'm pretty happy with the end result but it's a time-consuming process because these require a lot of by-hand attention for each one, even after streamlining things as much as possible. These are sized so that the screenshots are exactly 640x400 i.e. They're slightly smaller than Lassiveran's by design because those are sized in such a way that the screenshots are scaled by an uneven integer which results in some blurring. In fairness, a decent chunk of time was dedicated to just creating the template in the first place, mimicking those originally created by Lassiveran of which there are no shortage already in the collection, and then inevitably making revisions and improvements and then having to go back through and re-create the ones I'd already done (multiple times over). I've been working on them for days now and I'm currently sitting at 218 complete with 211 to go. The 3D box part luckily I can automate but the fanart boxes, hoo boy is that some tedious-ass time-consuming work. I've been in the process of creating fanart boxes for every game in the collection that doesn't have a box currently and then creating 3D box versions as well. To let people know what's going on since I intended to post a progress update earlier, I've gone down another black hole of work, because of course I would.

![]() This subscription tier is mainly aimed at two groups of people: families and home cinema enthusiasts. An Internet connection of at least 15Mbps is required to watch in 4K, which is another consideration to take into account. It’s also the only tier that includes Dolby Atmos sound. Picture quality is Ultra HD with HDR10 or Dolby Vision provided (as long as you have a HDR/Dolby Vision compatible device). With the Premium subscription package, the number of devices you can stream/watch on at once is four and you can download to four devices as well. ![]() The Premium tier is currently the most expensive tier and the most optimal for those with 4K TVs. Those with cheap, affordable 4K TVs might want to consider this tier if they want to save some money and have content upscaled to 4K, especially as most cheap TVs won’t have the HDR skills to take advantage of the next tier. Standard is a better proposition for situations where two people have access to an account like couples or perhaps even a small family. You can watch/stream to two supported devices simultaneously instead of one, download to two devices and watch in Full HD (1080p). Standard TierĪnother jump in price gets you to the Standard tier and everything effectively ‘doubles’ on this plan. You are able to download to a single device, helpful if you watch on the go and are heading somewhere when mobile reception isn’t good or you’re downloading to a device that doesn’t have a mobile connection. ![]() Streaming remains HD (or 720p) so there’s no boost there, nor is there any change in the number of devices you can watch/stream to simultaneously (which is one). You’re free from ads on this subscription (and those above it in the pecking order), and you get access to all the content available in the Netflix library. If you don’t want the restrictions of the Basic Tier with Ads then for £2 / $2 / CA$3 / €4 / AU$4 extra, you can get the Basic package. If you’re not fussed about sitting through ads, don’t own a 4K TV (yet) and want access to Netflix’s library of original content at a cheaper price, this is probably the sub for you. There’s no offline viewing possible (so no downloads) and some TV shows and movies will be unavailable due to licensing restrictions, but if you play the games on the Netflix platform, they’ll be unaffected by ads. With the Basic Tier with Ads, streaming is restricted to 720p and viewers can only watch on one device at a time. Ads can last as long as 30 seconds and there will be an average of 4 minutes of ads per hour. These ads can’t be skipped nor can anyone push on the fast-forward button to get through. As it is an ad-funded tier you’ll have to sit through advertisements both before and during movies and TV shows. This tier is the cheapest sub that Netflix offers and comes with the most restrictions. ![]() Netflix Premium: $15.99 / $19.99 / €17.49 / CA$18.99 / AU$22.99 Which Netflix subscription plan is right for you? Basic Tier with Ads With the launch of the Basic Tier with Ads, there are now four brackets of Netflix subscriptions. ![]() Because blue crabs are so important to the region's ecosystem and economy, both Maryland and Virginia monitor the blue crab population through an annual Winter Dredge Survey. How many blue crabs live in the Chesapeake Bay?ĭata provided by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources and the Virginia Institute of Marine Science.įor most of the last two decades, the total number of blue crabs in the Chesapeake Bay has lingered below the long-term average. Over the past 60 years, blue crabs have dominated Chesapeake Bay fisheries, with an estimated one-third of the nation’s blue crab catch coming from the Bay. ![]() Scientists are concerned that a decline in the Chesapeake Bay blue crab population could negatively affect salt marsh habitat, as periwinkle populations feed on marsh grasses.īlue crabs also support a large recreational fishery in the Bay, and are the estuary's most valuable commercial fishery. ![]() They eat bivalves (i.e., clams, mussels, oysters), smaller crustaceans, freshly dead fish, plant and animal detritus and almost anything else they can find.īlue crabs feed on marsh periwinkles (snails), helping regulate periwinkle populations. Soft-shell crabs that have just molted are particularly vulnerable to predators.īlue crabs are among the top consumers of bottom-dwelling organisms, or benthos. Striped bass, red drum, catfish and some sharks depend on blue crabs as part of their diet. Juvenile and adult blue crabs serve as food for fish, birds and even other blue crabs. Water quality improvements, seagrass restoration and proper fishery management will help maintain this valuable resource.Īs both predator and prey, blue crabs are a keystone species in the Chesapeake Bay food web.īlue crab larvae are part of the Bay’s planktonic community, serving as food for menhaden, oysters and other filter feeders. However, the blue crab population has fluctuated over time in response to fishing pressure and environmental drivers including pollution and habitat loss. The Bay’s signature crustacean is one of the most recognizable critters in the watershed, supporting valuable commercial and recreational fisheries. There is nothing more “Chesapeake” than the blue crab. ![]() As the names suggest, these versions introduce more than one suit into the game. Yes! In fact, we have three different versions: classic Spider, Two Suit Spider, and Four Suit Spider. Are there harder versions of Spider Solitaire? It became one of the most popular versions of Solitaire because of its inclusion on Windows computers by default. It was named Spider Solitaire because of the eight foundation piles used. ![]() Solitaire games have been around since the 18th century, but Spider Solitaire wasn’t introduced to the world until 1949. As you play more, you’ll start to understand things like where you should place cards and what plays aren’t optimal. You’re not going to be able to control the cards that are dealt, but you can control where they go once they’re in play. Like all Solitaire games, Spider Solitaire requires a careful balance between skill and chance. Luckily, there’s no shame in starting over, especially if you’re a new player! Is Spider Solitaire a game of skill? Spider Solitaire can quickly get out of hand if you’re not playing your cards right. Now, whether or not you’ll be good at it right away is a different story. Nope! You can be a complete beginner to Solitaire games and still enjoy Spider Solitaire. Does Spider Solitaire require experience to play? ![]() Depending on the type of Spider Solitaire you’re playing, you may not use all four suits, but every version of Klondike uses all four suits. Also, in Klondike, you’re building foundations from Ace to King per suit in Spider, you’re building sequences from King to Ace. For one, Spider Solitaire uses two standard 52-card decks, while Klondike only uses one. Klondike, what Americans and Canadians simply call Solitaire, and Spider Solitaire have a lot of differences. What are the differences between Solitaire and Spider Solitaire? A lot of the game is putting pieces together that you’ve been building since the start. One of the best strategies is to build one or two sequences at a time while also stacking together cards that go together. The sooner you complete a sequence, the sooner it’ll be out of the way of other sequences. Always make sure you’ve done everything you can to reveal cards before drawing from the stock.Īnother big point of the game is getting sequences out of play. When these are left unrevealed for too long, stacks will continue to build on top of them, making them harder to reveal. The cards you draw may fill in an area on another side of the board.Īlso, you should try to get the face-down cards on the tableau revealed as soon as possible. What this means is that in order to win Spider Solitaire, it’s best to be careful with where you place cards, but also flexible enough to adjust on the fly. You’ll eventually need to draw cards, and this can cut off sequences if you’re not careful. ![]() You can certainly get lucky with your hand, but that luck will run out at some point. Spider Solitaire is all about organization. This becomes a bit tricky the more sequences you complete, as there are fewer cards in play.Īgain, once you’ve completed eight sequences, you win! Importantly, if you want to draw from the stock pile, you must fill any empty space on the board before doing so. In the event that you have an empty column, you can move any card or stack into that space. You’ll need to move these cards to another column if you want to keep building the sequence behind it. As you can see, this will blur the cards above it if it doesn’t add to the sequence. This will add one card to the bottom of each stack. When you’ve run out of available moves with the original tableau (that’s the playing area), you can draw from the stock pile in the bottom right corner. The objective of the game is to create eight sequences, thus using all 104 cards in play. A full sequence is King to Ace, and when this is completed, the sequence is taken off the board. As shown above, a sequence is cards in order, with the highest up top and the lowest at the bottom. Unlike regular Solitaire, you won’t be building foundations instead, you’ll create sequences. This version of the game uses one suit, but you can find two and four suit variants below. The game uses two decks of cards, meaning you’ll be dealing with 104 cards. When you begin, you’ll have eight different stacks of cards-that’s where the name “Spider” comes from. Daily ChallengesĮach day, there is a new challenge for each of the five games. This is especially useful in games such as 4 Suits Spider Solitaire, which are already quite difficult when playing in easier modes. In Microsoft Solitaire Collection players can choose the difficulty of their games. Pairs will be removed from the board, and it is your challenge to remove all cards in the pyramid from the board. Pyramid: Microsoft Pyramid Solitaire has you combining cards into pairs which sum up to 13. ![]() The name comes from the layout in which the cards are dealt.

Yet, a standard roof is 1,500 square feet. Unfortunately, decks and roofs are heavy.įor instance, shingles weigh up to 240 lbs per square (100 square feet). Rafters support decks, which support the shingles or panels. ![]() Why is rafter spacing important? Because the wrong spacing leads to a weak roof, thus, a weak house. Measure from the center of the first to the center of the next. ![]() The same applies if measuring the distance between ceiling joists. “On-center” means measuring the distance from the first rafter’s center to the next rafter’s center. Rafter spacing is the shortest distance between two parallel rafters measured “on-center.” Alternatively, you can determine the rafter spacing by measuring the distance between two ceiling joists on-center. Many roofers join rafter feet with ceiling joists for a more rigid structure. But more importantly, they distribute the roof load down to the walls and the foundation for a structurally sound home. First, they provide a platform for decking installation. It’s eco-friendly, energy efficient, beautiful, and easy to install. They are laid side by side in a series to provide base support for roof decks.Īlthough steel is preferred in industrial construction, dimensional lumber is the best rafter material for residential homes. Rafters are roof framing members that run from the ridge or hip of the roof to the wall plate, eave, or downslope perimeter. Generally, the smaller the rafters, the closer the spacing. The exact figure depends on many factors, including the type of roof structure, roof design (style), etc. However, you can also space your rafters 12 inches or 19.2 inches on-center. The standard rafter spacing for metal roofs is 16 or 24 inches on-center. We also briefly explain rafter spacing requirements for various structures, including porches, pergolas, and sheds. Indeed, you can be penalized if a home inspection reveals improper rafter spacing.įor this reason, we’ve developed this guide to explain rafter spacing requirements for metal roofs on residential homes. However, the opposite is true, especially for the main home. Did you know that there are standard guidelines for roof rafter spacing? Unfortunately, many DIYers think you can space them as you wish. ![]() CPUID brings you system & hardware benchmark, monitoring, reporting quality softwares for your Windows & Android devices.
