So I had a dream in which I put a tree inside of an oven and drained ALL the Oxygen, I turned the oven to about 260 C and proceeded to turn my tree in some sort of plastic-y goo. I woke up and thought "Gee, isn't this something @mushi would dream about ?"

My Fiio X1 MP3 player had the weirdest glitch. Suddenly it didn't display any files although plugging it in as a drive revealed that the SD card worked fine and no files were lost. I had to downgrade and upgrade the firmware in order to make it work again.

@adiwan I've read that that thing becomes racist towards some SDcards with some update, but last I heard of that was 9 months ago or so. They've been sure to patch that since, no ?
-
@critialcloudkicker I used the newest stable firmware 2.0 (with an alternative official theme) and it was released a few months ago (at least I was aware of it). I had no major complaints until now except for an id3 tag bug that didn't recognize the correct tags from certain id3 tag programs but that was patched with the 2.0 release.

So I just found out they cancelled Scalebound. Darn shame. I was looking forward to playing that game somewhere in 2022.

So I have been playing this For Honor open beta for a while now. And I can honestly say that I like it. However if you thought that Overwatch had a bad price-to-game ratio then you are going to **scream** it for For Honor. I will NOT be getting it unless the marketing model changes drasticly. Check out For Honor yourself and make up your own mind http://store.steampowered.com/app/572600/

it looks simple enough to replace the n64's analog stick with a gamecube one, i think im gonna try this instead of buying a new controller

@critialcloudkicker I won't open my repaired PS2 controllers when it's not necessary. The box of my broken controllers is stowed away where it's not easily reachable. I'd like to show a picture of all variants but... you know... it's more work than it's worth.

@adiwan Ah, you are already done then, awesome, So you had a repair rate of what, 4 out of 10 ?

@mrmattimation Some reboots are good, some reboots are terribad, and some franchises have an extended story in comics or whatnot. It would be a crying shame if they were to make a Samurai Jack reboot akin to how they screwed up Teen Titans ( Go ) or ( the new ) PowerPuff Girls, and those franchises just had to reboot from a blank slate since the creator had a hardon for some fanfic he got his hands on ( that is the short version )

Man, this just isn't working for me. I still feel way too scrutinized out here. Like saying the wrong thing could get misread by the wrong people and then I'd be up the creek again. I feel like I don't have permission to be angry or sad or feel injustice anymore. I'm gonna go somewhere else for a while.

@nerthos Kinda hard to do. Those who have high charisma easily trample over those whom have a weaker resolve.

@critialcloudkicker You guys sure do like to undermine efforts to help people.

@nerthos I must have missed whom you were helping ( I thought we were discussing idealism ). That said I would hate to see that person turn into a 'my way or bust' fanatic.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/455910/ ... why would anyone buy this when emulation is a thing ? I mean I could attach my N64 and spend some time to get it working, then be dissapointed my saves are gone, or I could spend less time downloading an emulator, or I could spend no time and just paying 10 bucks... Hmm...

@critialcloudkicker The N64 version sucks in comparison to the PC version. On GOG it's a tad cheaper https://www.gog.com/game/star_wars_rogue_squadron_3d
-
@adiwan I am not looking forward to buy or play it actually. I was merely surprised, and it got me thinking. Right now I wonder what it is that they could have 'fixed' for I just read the reviews on GoG and that seems to pretty damning
-
@critialcloudkicker The first comment only addresses the disabling of the compatibility mode and changing the controller settings. Not such a big deal for me in my opinion. With these old games there is always a problem with newer versions of Windows. At least it's easily fixable.

Today I am going to a Brony convention that is within traverseable distance from my home. I guess you could say I'm nervoucited.
Now you could say 'so what, Bronies are a dying thing anyway', and you'd be right. However I generally like the people in the Dutch community, and I did not see any of them since 2015 due to work. ... And probably incompetence...Saturday, 04-Feb-17 07:17:38 UTC from web -
@ajr Right now I'm trying to rely on AI teammates during planning but they keep dying unless I take direct control of them. Often times when I tell them to open a door and throw a flashbang inside, they'd just immediately get shot by an enemy who was hiding away. What I'd do normally in that situation would be to open the door just a crack and toss a grenade that way but it seems like the AI don't know how to do it unless I haven't figured something out.
So yeah, I've been stuck on this one level for hours.-
@gameragodzilla You can shoot through thin walls but that will alert them. Sounds like you need to learn how to surveillance the enemies first. Biggest points: they'll move and make noise you can hear occassionally if you pay attention, windows can provide both intelligence and entry points, and when you do engage MOVE. More often than not if you keep your soldiers moving even if it goes completely sideways you can salvage it. It's all about thinking quick.
-
@gameragodzilla As far as planning goes, design your missions around the AI. Delegate yourself anything mission critical. Much easier that way. Not always possible, but usually is and it saves a lot of headache.

@gameragodzilla Try not to be surprised this is from the original XCOM (well, TFTD), but theres some good if basic squad tactics stuff in here: http://www.xcomufo.com/x2notebk.pdf

"It is 2017, what do you mean you do not have FaceBook ?!?" ... Really, people like that exist apparently. I used to have FaceBook, it did not add anything to my life really, and when FaceBook decided that my e-mail was invalid my account was lost in eternal limbo. You can not get support anywhere, probably because you are the product, not the client. Advertising companies are the client. I reckon they get proper support.
