![]() But the story itself admits that he is a teacher who groomed a child for his own gratification, resulting in her death and a lot of trauma for his own family and hers. For me, the revelations didn’t make for a particularly effective twist ending at all and spoilt a lot of the suspense.Īnother issue I had throughout is the way the father is presented as if he was a victim of circumstance who just happened to fall in love with the wrong person. Some of them feel far too obvious to have been missed by authorities at the time. There are numerous inconsistencies in the accepted narrative that you uncover to reveal the truth. Your parents split up when your father had an affair with a sixteen-year-old girl who committed suicide when the infidelity was exposed – or so the story goes. Your explorations reveal family secrets that have been hidden for over a decade. ![]() With a name like The Suicide of Rachel Foster, it really needs to be able to handle sensitive topics delicately, but it comes across as very clunky. However, it is the story overall where this game stumbles. If you do forget what you’re doing, the feeling of aimlessly wandering around a hotel feeds into the atmosphere of the game.īetween the storm blowing outside, the eerie crackle of the early ’90s radio and the groaning of a decrepit building, The Suicide of Rachel Foster creates a sense of tension that lends itself to the spookiness of the story. They don’t give away too much but give you just enough to figure it out for yourself. You have a radio, which you use to call a FEMA agent, who helps you figure out where to look for new information and nudges you along the narrative. I thought it might tie into the story, somehow, with a photo that edged the narrative along, but that also didn’t happen. This felt like it was going to provide some challenge, but you find a torch almost immediately. For instance, having to use a Polaroid camera flash when the lights all go out. Any time a new option is introduced, it sticks around for one thread and never comes up again. There are some mechanics introduced that could have been built up a lot more. It’s not a long enough game to start to drag, but this is not a game for anyone who prefers a fast pace. You walk around, click on items to interact with them. ![]() The confined setting means the focus on the minutiae of the hotel has been executed very nicely. Every scene is incredibly detailed, with a lot of effort clearly having gone into the design. It opens by cutting between your mother’s funeral and you reading the last letter she ever wrote for you. The Suicide of Rachel Foster hits heavy from the beginning.

![]() I tried various compression settings but even setting compression level to 0 is worse than entirely disabling it this way. The codec cache command: /codec-cache:įor which rfx seems to provide by far the best resultĪnd also disabling compression -compression I tried all 3 settings, RFX had the most stuttering, AVC420 had less stuttering, AVC444 had even less stuttering. The most impactful settings were the gfx (encode) command: /gfx,mask:]] This is the command I’m using: xfreerdp /d:"WORKGROUP"/u:"$USER" /v:192.168.122.2:3389 /w:1920 /h:1015 /bpp:32 +clipboard +fonts /gdi:hw /rfx /rfx-mode:video /sound:sys:pulse +menu-anims +window-drag /gfx:avc444 /codec-cache:rfx -compression I get a smooth 60fps cursor in xfreerdp however the rendering experience is considerably downgraded, I get what I believe are frame delays (stuttering) extremely frequently, I also tried to use alternatives to spice as well to see if I could get a better experience, but no dice there either… xfreerdp var/lib/libvirt/qemu/nvram/Windoze_GVT_VARS.fd I thought maybe since the rendering results are so good, if I’d fully passthrough the mouse I could work around the issue that way, but no dice, cursor still behaved the same. But for some unknown reason, the cursor seems to be locked to low framerates, it might be 30fps but it’s possibly even lower than that. My current Mountain Lion/Mightly Mouse combo is okay, but I’ll still be closely watching SmoothMouse.I set up a vm with gvt-g in virt-manager and it works fantastic, I’m getting 60fps rendering output when I playback video and even games. The Magic Trackpad and Magic Mouse feel pretty laggy (probably due to Bluetooth), and non-Apple mice appear to be treated differently than Apple mice and still feel weird. Using the wired Mighty Mouse is bearable. Just to end things on a slightly more positive note, ever since OSX Lion the mouse movement has actually felt much better. Improvements in OSX Lion & Mountain Lion: While it does makes sense that this would add some lag, I don’t think it’s sufficient to explain what makes this so frustrating. ![]() I’ve also used Linux with Compiz, again with no noticeable mouse problems. I’ve used Windows Visa and 7 with Aero enabled and don’t recall noticing any issues. However, I don’t think John Carmack’s guess that it’s due to window compositing is correct. The idea that’s actually due to lag makes a lot of sense to me, since I’ve tried so many different drivers (which are supposed to remove or change acceleration) without any satisfaction. The conventional wisdom has been that the unpleasant cursor movement is due to the acceleration curve. Why this lag thing is surprising (and exciting): ![]() Certainly not like the otherwise miserable Lenovo with Windows XP that I have to use at work. The various mice and drivers made the cursor movement feel different, sure, but not necessarily better. I’ve tried Steermouse, USB Overdrive, and the Mouse Acceleration Preference Pane. I’ve installed the Microsoft mouse drivers and the Logitech Control Center. some other wired Logitech mouse whose model name escapes me.Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical (best feeling mouse ever made, if you ask me).Here’s a good, in-depth explanation, although it was written in the Tiger or Leopard era (mouse acceleration changed in Lion, as I discuss below): Īnyway, my quest for Windows-like mouse movement has led me down a crazy path. Usually the problem is blamed on OSX’s acceleration curve, which is supposedly very different than Windows. This is not, to put it mildly, an uncommon complaint. It’s like I’m fighting against the mouse, where on Windows it’s seamless extension of my hand. It’s not unusable, but there’s a constantly feeling of struggling to hit small targets. Like a lot of ex-Windows users, the mouse movement in OSX bugs me. Carmack suggests that this is due to OSX’s window compositing manager (the Windows 7 tests were done with its compositing window manager, Aero, disabled). He tested this on a Windows system and found essentially no lag. Even being generous with exactly which frame the mouse started moving on, I never counted less than 10 frames (at 240 hz = 42 milliseconds) and sometimes as many as 17 from the time the mouse moved to the time the pixels on the screen started to change. ![]() ![]() My Core Photography Kit Digital Camera Gear: Nikon - I use two Nikon D750 DSLRs and lenses (35mm 1.8, 28-70mm 2.8, and 105mm 2.8 Micro) Sigma for further lenses (Sigma Art 50mm 1.4 and 70-200 2.

![]() This can be accomplished via a web browser, if the host computer is running and the device and host computer share the same network in this case, pushing harvested content from content sources is supported on a regular interval (called 'subscription'). Mailing e-books enables, for example, sending personal documents to the Amazon Kindle family of e-readers and tablet computers. E-books can then be exported to all supported reading devices via USB, Calibre's integrated mail server, or wirelessly. This conversion is facilitated by so-called recipes, short programs written in a Python-based domain-specific language. Also, online content can be harvested and converted to e-books. Į-books can be imported into the Calibre library, either by sideloading files manually or by wirelessly syncing an e-book reading device with the cloud storage service in which the Calibre library is backed up, or with the computer on which Calibre resides. It is possible to search the Calibre library by various fields, such as author, title, or keyword however as of 2020, full-text search has not yet been implemented. Metadata can be pulled from many different sources, e.g., online booksellers and providers of free e-books and periodicals in the US and elsewhere, such as the Internet Archive, Munsey's Magazine, and Project Gutenberg and social networking sites for readers, such as Goodreads and LibraryThing. Ĭalibre allows users to sort and group e-books by metadata fields. Calibre does not natively support DRM removal, but may allow DRM removal after installing plug-ins with such a function. Conversion and editing are easily applied to appropriately licensed digital books, but commercially purchased e-books may need to have digital rights management (DRM) restrictions removed. Most e-book formats can be edited, for example, by changing the font, font size, margins, and metadata, and by adding an auto-generated table of contents. Features Ĭalibre supports many file formats and reading devices. In 2008, the program, for which a graphical user interface was developed, was renamed "calibre", displayed in all lowercase. With support from the MobileRead forums, Goyal reverse-engineered the proprietary Broad Band eBook ( BBeB) file format. On 31 October 2006, when Sony introduced its PRS-500 e-reader, Kovid Goyal started developing libprs500, aiming mainly to enable use of the PRS-500 formats on Linux. Books in other formats like MOBI must first be converted to those formats, if they are to be edited. Editing books is supported for EPUB and AZW3 formats. Calibre supports organizing existing e-books into virtual libraries, displaying, editing, creating and converting e-books, as well as syncing e-books with a variety of e-readers. So right in the software you can search all these OPDS servers for a needed book and when you find it - download it together with all metadata and cover directly to the database.Calibre ( / ˈ k æ l ɪ b ər/, stylised calibre) is a cross-platform free and open-source suite of e-book software. Dozens of OPDS catalogs are available online, and in many different languages. OPDS (Open Publication Distribution System) - is a catalog syndication format for electronic publications based on Atom and HTTP. Most free book sites maintain OPDS servers for ebook distribution. But AEM provides more easy and comfortable tool for that - OPDS client. Sure, you can get these free books from various sites in the Internet and add them to Alfa. The best thing is that in Alfa Ebooks Manager you can catalog not only purchased books but also download free e-books directly to the database. You can sort and filter books as you want, organize them into collections by genre, author, location, year, create custom tags and fields to take your library into order. The e-catalog program allows quickly find needed book by title, author and bunch of other parameters. So you will always remember which books you borrowed to your friends, which books of your favorite author you haven't read yet and want to purchase, which books you have taken from a public library and when you need to return them. You get new books, read books, borrow books, lend books - every change can be recorded in the ebook software. ![]()
