![]() Whether I'm zooming in with a sniper, moving the camera, running across the map, exiting the battle bus, or even just loading the battle pass, when the first skin appears as soon as I click the menu, there's an FPS drop. ![]() I could be at 250FPS, and suddenly, for a millisecond, the FPS drop to 20 for example, and then immediately return to 250FPS. I think ever since they switched to Unreal Engine 5, my game has never been stable. Power supply: Seasonic Focus Gold GX 750W ( I have one more identical SSD (but with 1TB) and a 1TB HDD, but the game is installed on the one I mentioned) Storage: SSD M.2 2280 Western Digital Black SN770 2TB 3D NAND NVMe RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32GB ( 2x16GB ) DDR4-3200MHz GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Ti - Ventus 3X (8GB GDDR6) and I can play them without any issues, many of them with graphics settings at maximum (without RT, of course.).Ĭan you help me or do you know what might be causing this? I know there was a time when many people were complaining about the game's performance, even people with a much better PC than mine, but it's been so long, I don't believe this is just poor game optimization. I play many games like Minecraft, Valorant, CS, Destiny 2, Spider-Man, Ratchet & Clank, Cyberpunk, Jedi Survivor, etc. The strangest thing about all of this is that it only happens to me in Fortnite. I've tried everything, even watched those horrible "boost your FPS easy +500FPS" videos on YouTube, updated all my drivers, verified game files, reinstalled the game, contacted support, and did everything they suggested, but nothing worked. I have high FPS, but they easily drop to 20 FPS (or even lower) in a matter of milliseconds, which is super annoying and disturbing. The game constantly experiences FPS drops even when using the lowest graphic settings. It's been months since I haven't been able to play Fortnite properly. ![]()

![]() ![]() These hamburgers are literally the size of a saucer plate, at least 8” in diameter. Luckily for me, most people in line that early are there for the Jumbo butter burgers. I am usually one of those in line when I am here. If you get there in time, you can purchase yesterday’s flavors, if there is any left, for half price. These are sold by the pint, quart and gallon. The doors open at 10:30 each morning and there is a line on any given day. I was extremely impressed with the cleanliness before it was even cleaned. Unfortunately for me, it is not being served again until Tuesday the 19th.Įverything they make is prepared fresh each morning. Kudos goes to the mixing man on that one. They started serving “red velvet cake” custard a couple of years ago, and yes, it tastes just like red velvet cake. I don’t think I will ever come up with something better than what they already have on the calendar. If you, the consumer have a flavor idea, you may send it in for testing to see how they can make it work. This calendar of creamy perfection gives you two options of delectable delights to choose from. The “flavor forecast” is made monthly by Bud. As the custard is frozen it comes out of the front of the hopper in beautiful frozen ribbons of creamy goodness. If red raspberry is the flavor you want, a couple of scoops of fresh raspberries gets tossed into the custard, they mix up the raspberries with the raspberry flavored custard and scoop it into a cup or cone, whichever you prefer. With every bite you eat you will get a whole fresh raspberry. On Red Raspberry day, they start out with the vanilla custard, add red raspberry puree and extract, pour this into the hopper and let the machine do it’s magic. Bud stated that you can purchase a gallon of vanilla extract for $20.00, but the vanilla they use costs $180.00 per gallon. It’s all about the quality for Kopp’s. It starts with the vanilla base and then the flavors are added right there in the refrigeration room. The custard mix is made for them according to their formula and delivered twice a week. I don’t know how that is possible, but it is true. Surprisingly, custard is lower in calories and fat than your standard ice cream. The secret to custard is the amount of butterfat, egg yolk and how much air is whipped into the mix. Bud would not divulge this information, and that is probably a smart thing. The standard amount to be considered custard is 10% butterfat. Bud said they go through on average of 120 to 130 gallons of custard a day, and that is for this stand alone. The most popular flavor is Turtle Sundae, which is caramel custard, fudge, caramel and pecans. The pecans are not pieces, they are whole pecans. Bud said they actually lose money on the days they make custards with nuts in it because of the quality of nuts they use. Birthday cake custard is birthday cake flavored custard with chunks of sponge cake and red and blue frosting. Carmel Cashew is caramel flavored custard with tons, yes, tons of cashews in it. And then there are the two different “flavors of the day”. On this particular day, it was Carmel Cashew and Birthday Cake. On any given day, you can get the usual vanilla or chocolate custard. Bud has worked for Kopp’s for 45 years now, which should tell you a little something about this place.Įlsa Kopp, a German immigrant, opened the first custard stand in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1950, after her husband, Karl Kopp developed Parkinson’s disease. By 1960, Kopp’s Frozen Custard was so popular Elsa started experimenting with different concoctions and ended up creating the “flavor of the day” menu. I spent a little time with Bud the general manager of Kopp’s and got to see what goes on behind the scenes. I am like a kid in a candy store with this place! I start swaying back and forth with a huge smile on my face, eyeing the menu of flavors for the day, trying to determine how many scoops I can eat before it starts melting down to my elbow. I don’t care how late, or tired I am, I stop. When I come home to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, my first stop is Kopp’s. And to those who know what I am speaking of, I know you are smiling right now. You are missing out on the most incredible frozen creamy goodness ever created. To those of you who don’t know what I am talking about, I am sorry. ![]() ![]() ![]() Here is a printable sleep chart (download and print) based on age of the child and breaks down the total hours of sleep between naps, bedtime and estimated bedtimes to help guide you.

Routine cards also help kids be independent without nagging or feeling like the kids aren’t listening. ![]() Routine cards were an essential part of all of my kids mastery of their daily schedules and what was expected of them. I love that the set has routine and chore cards for when kids are ready for age-appropriate chores and more responsibility. We use routine cards (we used these exact routine cards for girls and these routine cards for boys). When you don’t have a routine yet, and are teaching your child all the steps of the routine, the best way to master them are with routine cards. Routines help kids learn what’s expected of the day and give them a sense of security and control when they know what to do. Routines, are essentially repeating the same steps over and over again each day.įor example, every morning has the same steps: What if I told you there’s a way to better way than repeating yourself 2 bazillion times, nagging, yelling and begging your child to pick up their shoes and clean up their toys a bazillion times?

![]() ![]() ![]() NOTE: If you are using WSL2 and have set it as default, run wsl -list -v and ensure that your new distro is using WSL1 as only WSL1 will let us talk to the COM Ports. (I tried Alpine but it still has issues with screen and /dev/null/utmp) Then go to the Windows Store and get any small Linux. If you have Windows 10 you can the Windows Subsystem for Linux quickly with this command at a Admin prompt: dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux /all /norestart I want to do this at a command line, and bonus points if it's in Windows Terminal. This is a Windows app doing serial communication with its own interface wrapping around it. Here's what it looks like under Arduino's Serial Monitor, for example. I'll use this great little CLI example app for Arduino from Mads Aasvik to simulate such a device. Let's assume this device talks to the COM port as if it were a terminal and it's outputting stuff I want to see. Say I have a small embedded microcontroller device that talks over a COM Port (usually via a USB->COM bridge) like an Arduino. It'll work but it's somewhat old, quirky, and it doesn't integrate well with the Windows Terminal and a more modern workflow. With Windows, however, the historical guidance has always been to use Putty. On Linux you'll use things like "screen /dev/ttyS0" for COM0. Folks ask questions like "How to connect to a serial port as simple as using SSH?" Often when you're doing embedded systems development you'll want to monitor or talk to the COM/Serial Port just like you SSH into remote system. It'll be worth it because you'll be able to have a nice one click menu and drop directly into a serial port terminal on Windows in the Windows Terminal ![]() Read this whole post, there's a lot initially but there's really just two or three small pieces.

![]() It's as close to a true party game that you can get in a first person shooter title. Having that many people firing rocket launches or firing mini-guns at hordes of enemies is so satisfying and fun that you cannot wait to go back online and find another gaggle of co-op players ready to do the same thing. Some levels take as long as an hour to complete and the final, and truly, epic final encounter in the game could take even longer to finish up.Īs much fun as Serious Sam 3 is in single player, it's even more fun when you get online and play the campaign in co-op with up to 15 other players. ![]() Oh, and be prepared to stick with the single player campaign for a while. The fact that you are one person who battles through and over armies of aliens all by yourself makes this game stand out from any other shooter you can buy. ![]() It's that sense of over-the-top massive battles that ultimately makes Serious Sam 3 as fun to play as the previous games in the series have been in single player (again once you get through the first few sections). There are a few new monsters to deal with, including one that's a cross between a lizard and a monkey that can jump on walls. Most of the enemies from the previous Serious Sam games are back the charging Kleer skeletons, the massive running bulls, the bio-mechs and, yes, the headless kamikazes with bombs for hands. It gives you lots of different types of enemies and many of them appear on screen by the dozens. That's the thing that Serious Sam 3 does that no other first person shooters even attempt to do anymore. Aside from pulling some levers or finding some keys to open doors, it's basically, "Go to point A to point B and shoot everything in between." ![]() And if you were looking for things like RPG-style gameplay features, well you have the wrong first person shooter. There are a few locations that are set in dimly lit corridors but those are brief. You start to get more powerful weapons and more importantly the game opens up to show massive settings outside the urban areas. Thankfully, all is forgiven once you get through a quarter or so of the game's 12 campaign levels. Anything else is a bit too easy and anything more is, well, flat out insane and made only for the most hardcore first person shooter players. We would recommend that players who want a bit of a challenge to try out the Normal difficultly level. You want to check out the massive outdoor levels that Serious Sam fans expect. It doesn't help that the game's setting is restricted to smashed up urban areas that feel somewhat confining. The problem is that the early part of Serious Sam 3 feels a bit restricted because the early weapons are so underpowered in comparison to the later weapons. You then get a sledgehammer, a pistol, a single barreled shotgun and so on before you start getting some of the most devastating items the double barreled shotgun, the assault rifle, and more, all the way up to our personal favorite, the pirate ship cannon that you can hold in your hands. In fact you don't have any weapons at all at the very start you have to kill the first enemy, the one eyed cross between a lizard and an ape, with your bare hands (that's actually kind of fun, though). It's in this early part of the game that may frustrate some players a bit, Croteam decided to slowly give out weapons for the players to use in the single player campaign. ![]() The game starts out in a devastated urban environment which has been nearly wiped out by Mental's attack. The truth is while there is technically a plot to this game, complete with in-engine cut-scenes, you can jump past all of it and not miss a thing.īut before we reach the final of Serious Sam 3, the player has to battle aliens in modern day Egypt in the role of Sam. We are not giving away anything when we say that the end of Serious Sam 3 has the main character Sam "Serious" Stone being transported back in time to ancient Egypt where the plotline of Serious Sam: The First Encounter begins. You guessed it that means we are going back to a time before the story (and we use that term loosely) of the first game where the aliens under control of the overlord Mental begin attacking Earth in the 21st century. The "BFE" in the game's title means "Before First Encounter". While the game has made a few minor tweaks to the series' basic formula (some good, some bad), fans of the previous games should feel right at home. 10 years later, the game's development studio Croteam returns to their tried and true franchise with Serious Sam 3: BFE. That's the basic premise behind the Serious Sam first person shooter series ever since the first game, Serious Sam: The First Encounter, showed up on our PC hard drives back in 2001. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() These voters formed substantial bases of support for both Biden and Trump. ![]() Among those who voted for Clinton and Trump in 2016, similar shares of each – about nine-in-ten – also turned out in 2020, and the vast majority remained loyal to the same party in the 2020 presidential contest. It also provides a comparison with findings from our previous studies of the 20 electorates.Ī number of factors determined the composition of the 2020 electorate and explain how it delivered Biden a victory. ![]() It looks at how new voters and voters who turned out in one or both previous elections voted in the 2020 presidential election and offers a detailed portrait of the demographic composition and vote choices of the 2020 electorate. Nonvoters are citizens who were not found to have a record of voting in any of the voter files or told us they did not vote.Ī new analysis of validated 2020 voters from Pew Research Center’s American Trends Panel examines change and continuity in the electorate, both of which contributed to Biden’s victory. Validated voters are citizens who told us in a post-election survey that they voted in the 2020 general election and have a record for voting in a commercial voter file. Members of Pew Research Center’s nationally representative American Trends Panel were matched to public voting records from three national commercial voter files in an attempt to find a record for voting in the 2020 election. While Biden’s popular vote differential was an improvement over Hillary Clinton’s 2016 2-point advantage, it was not as resounding as congressional Democrats’ 9-point advantage over Republicans in votes cast in the 2018 elections for the U.S. Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump 306-232 in the Electoral College and had a 4-point margin in the popular vote. adult citizens casting a ballot in the 2020 election.

![]() ![]() The game has a two-player local cooperative mode, in which either player character can return to the game after being killed if the one parries the other's soul before it rises off the screen.

An enhanced attack can be executed at the cost of one card, with its particular form determined by the currently equipped weapon. ![]() The super meter is represented by a row of five playing cards, and can also be charged through attacking or Charm effects. Player characters can use a slapping parry attack on objects marked in pink to various effects, the most important of them being a super meter charge that enables more powerful attacks.

Player characters have infinite lives, maintaining all equipment between deaths. The game includes role-playing elements and a branching level sequence. Most boss battles take place on land, although some involve player characters piloting aeroplanes and play like a side-scrolling shoot 'em up. Defeating a boss on regular mode is required to progress through the game and unlocks expert mode for that particular level.
