Re: Oolite (Not the egg stone variety)

The only mods I use are things like the Explorer pack (I forget what it's called), that adds things like advanced navigation, records of which planets you've visited, and rewards for seeing them all, and something else I forget because I've been too busy to play in a while.

Re: Random

So I was reading into the original Shenmue on the Dreamcast, in particular what data is recorded in a save file, and it's a lot more than you'd think. If you're not familiar with the Shenmue, it's an open-world detective-style game where most of the game involves talking to people to find clues and ...

Re: Freelancer

While I respect your view and even appreciate it to a degree, that is a matter of perspective. Where you might see it as reducing freedom I see it as offering choice. Meaningful choice. By adding weight to the decisions you make. Sure you might choose to play it safe, but you've made that choice. Y...

Re: Tuesday, June 27, 2017

Possibly worth noting that this is emphatically NOT the same thing as Frontier completely dropping support for offline/solo play from Elite: Dangerous versus what they promised in their Kickstarter pitch. That decision was also justified as being a hard choice regarding a difficult technical challe...

Re: Things That Made You Happy Today

Came back from a week in Japan. I went for this: https://s2.postimg.org/flybb7hbd/2017_JP2.png The heso matsuri in Shibukawa.

Re: Kickstarter, and the "Promise" to deliver

Only doing games, because I also back things that are not games and I don't think they really follow the same rules. FUNDED ESTIMATED DELIVERED TITLE Jul 2015 Dec 2017 Waiting Shenmue III (confirmed delay, expected 2018) Jun 2015 May 2016 Abandoned? Power Drive 2000 (no recent news) Feb 2015 Dec 201...

Re: Pausing the game

Which is interesting, but also not relevant to games because games (and other apps) don't talk to the clock directly; they go through an API to use a function like setTimer() or setInterval() (such as in Talvieno's simulation) that fires an interrupt after X milliseconds. And a game can have lots o...

Re: Forum Games subforum?

Cons: It might encourage more people to make dozens of posts there to raise their postcount. You can make postcount not count in certain forums. I'm sure there would be some demand to move REKT there, and that could be a messy debacle. REKT is definitely more than just a standard forum game, I thin...
