![]() ![]() Overall results found hormone replacements were associated with higher rates of cardiac events, mostly related to dangerous blood clots, but were not associated with higher rates of death. ![]() Typically, people assigned male at birth receive estrogen and people assigned female at birth receive testosterone. ![]() Researchers retrospectively examined rates of cardiovascular events in over 21,000 people with gender dysphoria from a national database of hospital records, of whom 1,675 had used hormone replacement therapy. In these populations, long-term hormone replacement therapy has been associated with an increased risk of breast cancer, stroke and blood clots. Previous research on hormone-modulating medications has primarily focused on younger women using hormone-based birth control or on older women following a hysterectomy or during menopause. The current study is the largest to date examining the cardiovascular risks of gender affirmation therapy in this historically understudied population. and that hormone therapy use is rising rapidly, especially among teens and young adults. Recent data suggest about 1 million to 1.6 million people identify as transgender in the U.S. Gender affirmation therapy, part of a process known as transitioning, includes a variety of medical, psychological and behavioral interventions to help individuals, many of whom identify as transgender, acquire secondary sex characteristics that align with their gender identity. Gender dysphoria occurs when a person's gender identity conflicts with the sex they were assigned at birth. ![]()

In the end, however, this works well, as you can pick your race based on these few exclusivities, and at the same time be familiar with all of your ships and the ships of your opponents. On a related note, the races themselves are identical, save for a few exclusive ships per side. The way the game plays out, it would be perfect for two parallel storylines, as the Kushans soon attack the Taiidans (or vise versa depending upon which is chosen by the player). While the campaign itself is immensely enjoyable, challenging, and will be remembered for a plot that ranks with the likes of StarCraft and Myth, it also exactly the same for both the Kushans and the Taiidans, the two playable races of the game. This brings up the only real complaint with Homeworld's single-player game. ![]() The player must use the capabilities of the massive Mothership, its alien technology, and his own wits to find the people's true "homeworld." The Mothership takes 60 years to build, but as the game begins it has finally been finished.

These people are descended from aliens, who were somehow transported long ago, to this world they now think of as home. ![]() In the uninhabitable desert, an ancient artifact was recovered that led to a startling revelation: the people inhabiting the planet are not native to it.

Each of the creatures of course have their own weak points, attack patterns and such, to mix things up, but the games remain extremely predictable. You move through the levels on rails (you have no control other than earning/choosing set pathways – more on this later), and when the camera stops, you blast the zombies, creatures and whatever else (wait, not the humans!) that get in your way. Despite their visual differences, different levels and pointless stories, at their core, both games are almost identical. Needless to say, the quality of the script is terrible so the story is most definitely skipable as well.Ĭonsidering the price (around $70 retail), and the fact that two games are included, you could perhaps get past that all though, right? If you enjoy the gameplay? Well, that all comes down to how much you enjoy mindless shooting. It’s right up there with the original Resident Evil in my opinion, so that’s saying something. The voice work is corny (possibly intentionally?), and just bad, really bad. The music and sound effects are repetitive and will be stuck in your head after only a few levels. ![]() The game’s audio barely deserves a mention – but I am obliged. Jokes have been made of the Wii’s hardware prowess, but there’s nothing at fault with the Wii’s hardware here – this nothing but a quick and dirty port. It’s not flawless however, as there is some slowdown in places. The visuals are crisp and clean and you can easily see what you’ve got to shoot, even in the darker sections. The scratchy look, repeated textures and lack of colour means enemies and objects blend into each other with little contrast, and since you have to be quick with your trigger finger, this can be a bit detrimental to your shooting ability. HotD2 however takes a few hits in terms of playability because of its visuals. The first thing to hit home is that the visuals on HotD2 are appalling, as you’d expect for a 10-year-old game! That said, there are plenty of 10-year-old games that remain perfectly playable despite their aged visuals (just check out the N64 section on the Virtual Console for proof of that). ![]() ![]() Yours truly is not in the same boat – this is my first time playing either game, so you’re getting an opinion as if these considerably old games were actually new! It’s safe to say that if you have these games on any other format you can stop reading now because you don’t need to buy this version – they’re essentially the same. The House of the Dead (HotD) series began in arcades in 1996, while House of the Dead 2 and 3 originally came out in 19 respectively. So it would seem that the House of the Dead 2 and 3 Return is a good fit for the Wii, but does that matter when these games are so old? Since then, the most obvious and common implementation of this function has been using the pointer to shoot at the screen like a light gun House of the Dead games have always used this type of setup – so an attempt to bring these arcade favourites to the Wii’s old and new audiences was always going to happen. When the Wii Remote was first shown, much was made of its ability to point at the screen. Arcades may not be as popular as they once were, but it could be argued that the experience they offer is not dissimilar to that which has made the Wii so successful. ![]() ![]() ![]() X4D: Esaote’s volumetric technology takes full advantage of the touch panel to optimize workflow and ease of use, and represents a breakthrough in technology.

According to an episode of the Japanese television documentary series Project X entitled "The Birth of Godzilla", special effects director Eiji Tsuburaya met Toho contract actor Shiro Amikura in the Toho Studios cafeteria and nicknamed him "Gojira," combining the Japanese words for gorilla (since he thought Amikura looked like a Gorilla) and whale (since Amikura told Tsuburaya that whale meat was his favorite food). Gojira ( ゴジラ) is a portmanteau of the Japanese words gorira ( ゴリラ, " gorilla") and kujira ( 鯨 ( クジラ ), " whale"), owing to the fact that in one planning stage, Godzilla was described as "a cross between a gorilla and a whale", due to its size, power and aquatic origin. Godzilla has also fought characters from other franchises in crossover media, such as King Kong, as well as various Marvel Comics characters, including S.H.I.E.L.D., the Fantastic Four and the Avengers. Godzilla sometimes has allies, such as Rodan, Mothra and Anguirus, and offspring, such as Minilla and Godzilla Junior. It has faced human opponents such as the JSDF, or other monsters, including King Ghidorah, Mechagodzilla and Gigan. Godzilla has been featured alongside many supporting characters. Later films address disparate themes and commentary including Japan's apathy and neglect of its imperial past, natural disasters, and the human condition. As the film series expanded, some stories took on less serious undertones, portraying Godzilla as an antihero, or a lesser threat who defends humanity. Others have suggested that Godzilla is a metaphor for the United States, a giant beast woken from its slumber which then takes terrible vengeance on Japan. With the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the Lucky Dragon 5 incident still fresh in the Japanese consciousness, Godzilla was conceived as a metaphor for nuclear weapons. Godzilla is a prehistoric reptilian monster awakened and empowered by nuclear radiation. Godzilla has been dubbed the " King of the Monsters", an epithet first used in Godzilla, King of the Monsters! (1956), the American localization of the 1954 film. The character debuted in the self-titled 1954 film, directed and co-written by Ishirō Honda the character had become an international pop culture icon since, appearing in various media: 33 Japanese films produced by Toho, five American films and numerous video games, novels, comic books and television shows. ![]() Godzilla ( / ɡ ɒ d ˈ z ɪ l ə/ god- ZIL-ə Japanese: ゴジラ, romanized: Gojira, pronounced ( listen)) is a fictional monster, or kaiju, in Toho Co., Ltd.'s eponymous media franchise.

If they delete the files or move them out of their synced folder, it won’t change the files on your local computer if you are using one-way sync. Any new files added to the shared folder on your computer would immediately be transferred to your clients drive, without worries about dropped connections or file size limitations. You can also chose to transfer files in one direction so that changes in the destination folder are not synced back to the source.Īs an example, you could setup a folder on your network drive and share its contents as a one-way sync with a client (both of you would have to install the software on your respective computers). You install the software on your different devices (Mac, PC, Linux, Android, an iOS app will be released soon), and it automatically keeps selected folders in sync. In many ways, you can think of it as a free alternative to Dropbox. It will work across your LAN or across the world. Quite simply, BitTorrent Sync provides a way to sync files between your different devices, or selectively share files and folders with different people. Here is a quick look at the new tool and why it could be a great solution for editors, producers, and filmmakers who are looking to privately share large media files. When you think of your dream file transfer solution, words like unlimited, fast, secure, reliable, and free probably come to mind.īitTorrent is offering Beta access to a new tool called BitTorrent Sync that’s designed to provide all this and more.

Launch the installer in Steam again, and there it is: the Epic Games Launcher. Do the same with the “Start In” field, except this time, delete “EpicGamesLauncher.exe” from the end of the path. Step 11: In the “Shortcut” field, delete the existing shortcut path (except for the quote marks) and paste in the new one. Then, head back into Steam and right-click on the Epic installer to open its Properties menu again. Step 10: Find the EpicGamesLauncher.exe file, right-click it and select “Copy Location” to copy that exceedingly lengthy file path. Open it up, then continue navigating through pfx > drive_c > Program Files (x86) > Launcher > Portal > Binaries > Win32. Step 9: Annoyingly, the folder you want is named with a random string of numbers, but as the first GamingOnLinux video points out it should be a much longer string of numbers than the others in compatdata. local > share > Steam > steamapps > compatdata. Open up the Dolphin file manager, click the three-line icon in the top-right corner, then select “Show Hidden Files.” Then, navigate to Home >. Step 8: The next few steps require some spelunking into Steam’s own files. Click “Install” in the setup wizard and wait a bit. Step 7: Close the Properties window and launch the installer in Steam. This will get the Epic Games Launcher running under the same Linux compatibility layer that the Steam Deck uses to get most Steam games running. Step 6: In the Compatibility tab of the Properties menu, check the “Force the use…” box, then select the latest installed version of Proton from the drop-down menu below. Which sounds odd but also feels totally normal if you’re right-handed? Ergonomics are weird. If you’re using the Deck’s trackpads instead of a mouse, pressing down on the left pad registers a right-click. Find it in your Steam library by searching for “Epic”, or just scrolling down through your list of games, then right-click it and select “Properties”. ![]() Step 5: Success part one: Steam now recognises the installer. Back in the “Add a Game” window, the installer should now be selected, so click “Add selected programs”. Make sure the File Type field is set to “All Files” so that the installer can appear at all, then select it and click “Open”. Step 4: The Epic installer won’t initially appear in the list of apps that pops up, so click the Browse button and navigate to wherever you saved it. Just as you may have done loads of times on a desktop! Step 3: Open up the Steam app, click “Games” at the top, then “Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library”. Make a note of wherever you save it to – it should be in Home > Downloads by default. ![]() Step 2: Open up a browser (Firefox comes pre-installed), head to Epic Games and download the launcher’s installer. Step 1: Enter Desktop Mode by holding down the power button, then selecting “Switch to Desktop” from the list of options. How to install the Epic Games Launcher on the Steam Deck And if the Steam Deck is your first PC? Our best gaming mouse and best gaming keyboard guides have some suggestions. Installing the Epic Games Launcher on a Steam Deck is theoretically doable if you use the trackpads for left- and right-clicks, but it’s so, so, so much faster and easier with proper peripherals. One thing: I strongly recommend grabbing a USB-C hub and using it to connect a mouse and keyboard. And since you’re reading a PC gaming site, I’m assuming you have. ![]() Although there are a lot of individual steps, it’s nothing too scary if you’ve ever used a file manager before.
