DPI in a Mouse: What It Really Means

  DPI in a Mouse: What It Really Means, How It Works, and How to Choose the Right Setting DPI is one of the most misunderstood specs in the world of PC peripherals. Marketing departments love to throw huge numbers at you — 12,000 DPI, 26,000 DPI, even 40,000 DPI — as if “more” automatically means “better”. But in real‑world use, especially in gaming and productivity, extremely high DPI is not only unnecessary but often counterproductive. This article breaks down what DPI actually is, how it works inside a mouse sensor, how it affects gaming performance, and how to choose the right DPI for your workflow. What Is DPI? DPI (dots per inch) describes how many “steps” your mouse cursor moves on the screen when you move the mouse one inch on your desk. Low DPI → slower cursor movement, more physical hand movement High DPI → faster cursor movement, less physical hand movement It’s essentially a sensitivity measurement — but not the same as in‑game sensitivity.

Rad Gravity - one of my favourite old NES games


The Adventures of Rad Gravity: A Retro Platformer with a Twist



The Adventures of Rad Gravity is a platform game for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) developed by Interplay and published by Activision in 1990. The game follows the exploits of Rad Gravity, a futuristic hero who teams up with a sentient computer named Kakos to find and restore eight missing Compuminds, which are biotechnological devices that can communicate across the galaxy. The story seems simple but there is a plot twist near the end!

The game features nine different planets, each with its own unique theme, enemies, and challenges. Some of the planets include Cyberia, a cyberpunk world full of robots and lasers; Sauria, a lush jungle world inhabited by dinosaurs and giant insects; and Turvia, a planet where gravity is reversed and Rad has to walk on the ceiling. Later in game you visit Utopia - cyberpunk planet with robots and enslaved people or return to unprogressable at start Volcania. Most planets have its boss at the end with unique mechanics to defeat. Key is to collect items like weapons to progress story and other planets, like gun shooting up, explosive crystal (grenade weapon), hovering pod, teleporter etc.
The game is notable for its quirky humor, colorful graphics, and innovative gameplay mechanics. The game often breaks the fourth wall and makes fun of common video game tropes, such as having Rad talk to the player or the game itself. The game also experiments with different perspectives and gravity effects, such as having Rad shrink or grow, or having the screen rotate or flip. The game is considered one of the most original and creative NES games of its time, and has gained a cult following among retro gamers.

For hardcore players who finish story there is unique animation and ending sequence on the end. To be honest the story is very good with twist and i would love to see 3D Rad Gravity, which rivals in my opinion Ratchet and Clank and similar games, which were inspired by Rad Gravity. Try it with emulator on phone or better on PC, advised is to use controller, its very hard game even without "lives"  system so popular in older days. You can repeat whole stage as many times as you like.

I have original cartridge for NES, which comes with original comic book! Yes there is little comic book showing sketch for story and planets. Really collectable masterpiece.

Try Rad Gravity and see, that modern games arent really hard believe me...
