  1. Day of the Tentacle Special Edition

    Yep they probably just made the decision that those background details aren't super important to redraw in detail. Because, really, they're not. I'd bet good money that in an alternate universe where DOTT was created with these higher-fidelity graphics FIRST and the background details looked like that (I've seen other examples of nitpicking), no one would even notice, because they wouldn't be scrutinizing with such intent to find flaw. Screenshots look super great! Hopefully the animation works out, too.
  2. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain

    I got it by tranqing her until she was low and then i kicked her for the final blow. Easy(?). (Actually yes easy because I was using stealth camo.)
  3. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain

    My nuke built in 30 hours overnight. I dunno if you are missing a patch that changed it or my game bugged, but yeah. I'm at 90% myself. Probably will finish today! Need to get the animals and finish off like 8 missions I think. One of which is extreme quiet with no firearms, which... in case you were wondering, means you can't use the rocket arm to stun her. So I gotta figure that out. \:
  4. Return of the Steam Box!

    Hoping my friend will come over this weekend with his controller so I can test his and confirm once and for all my technical issues (which I'm 99% sure are real and not imagined!). Then I'll immediately figure out what annoying process I have to go through to get a replacement.
  5. Day of the Tentacle Special Edition

    I'm so happy with how nice this looks. They did good. If it is a filter, they sure did a million times better with it than any filter I've ever seen. This is how I picture DOTT when I remember it in my head. A+. Also if it is a filter, it's goddamn impressive! No filter I'm aware of would take the pixelly headlights on that car and actually turn it into a perfect circle. I imagine, at absolute worst, they may have started with a filter and then redrew anything that looked wonky. Which is perfectly fine by me, given the results.
  6. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain

    I generally have no problems with the mission tasks except for the conversations. Those are broke as fuck. Sometimes you have to be close to make them trigger. Sometimes being too close makes them never trigger. It's a hot mess! At least it's mostly easy and a good podcast-listening activity while I run around with the stealth camo. U:
  7. Return of the Steam Box!

    You should be sorry!
  8. Return of the Steam Box!

    The steam controller is way more than "kinda like a mouse".
  9. Return of the Steam Box!

    Ah, interesting. Well cool that I'm in for future games (believe)! Finally have CS:GO, too. I thought I did already, but apparently not. Hurray!
  10. Return of the Steam Box!

    Yeah I got that, too, and similarly I haven't logged in on a Mac in forever. I did it for the earbuds in TF2, and... then never again. Cool, I guess! (For Link people only, afaik.) Controller is so good tho.
  11. Other podcasts

    I often skip past the first three or four minutes and then stop listening three or four minutes before it ends because there's a lot of "thanks for listening please listen please make other people listen" shit. I dunno if that's what he's referring to, but that does annoy me!
  12. Star Wars VII - Open spoilers

    why is everything covered in wookie hair
  13. Recently completed video games

    Hurray I'm glad you liked it! It's such a pleasant little game.
  14. Idle Thumbs Readers Slack & Discord

    giphy is already bad enough you monster
  15. Return of the Steam Box!

    To be clear, my complaints are entirely, apparently, technical issues. If you want some really cool stuff, maybe browse the gaf thread where people are coming up with really nice configs and are in general more positive than... here. I think the controller is great, other than my defect.
  16. Return of the Steam Box!

    It does suck! But I am otherwise very happy with it, so while I may be unlucky, at least my luck is with a mere defect and not with wasting fifty bucks on something I ended up hating. In happier news this is super neat! Splatoon-ish style aiming in MGSV. (Combines mouse-touchpad with motion control.)
  17. Return of the Steam Box!

    So thanks to Lacabra and one other source I do in fact think my controller is defective. I'm going to wait until this weekend when a friend can bring his controller over so I can test his out, and if it is indeed exclusive to mine, I'll attempt to get a replacement. I hope the process is easy. \:
  18. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain

    OKB Zero has a ton of cargo containers, yeah. I unlocked the cyborg suit a while ago. It's the Gray Fox costume, from MGS1. Low-poly style like that, too. Similar to the Solid Snake costume, but instead of being another sneaking suit, it makes you run fast, and you knock down anyone you run through.
  19. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain

    Yeah it feels to me like my base processes at a really low rate but I dunno. ): I've also heard FOBs is a good way, but I tried some of those last night and they got HARD since last I did one. Too hard. I couldn't finish one!
  20. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain

    I need resources. to build a nuke and to finish upgrading my base. How I get resources. Also I want to upgrade my various facilities, but i spent an hour optimizing last night and it ended up getting me only a couple levels in r&D and Intel, instead of the 8 levels I needed... how can I hunt down specific specialists? This is probably divine punishment for me not giving a shit about managing these dudes for so long. ): I've also only got two missions left to S rank. A Quiet Exit and Code Talker Extreme. The latter I know I could do if I could just make it past the skulls. The former I'm told is easy with the right fully-upgraded weapon. But I can't fully upgrade the weapon without R&D and Intel improving. ): Looking forward to the mission tasks so I can just go crazy and have fun. O:
  21. Return of the Steam Box!

    Gamepad with mouse makes the UI in Game of Thrones go back and forth between gamepad UI and kb+m UI. So I'm not really using it wrong. And I wouldn't mind gamepad on its own, but it has some sort of issue with the bottom right edge of the touch pad circle. This isn't exclusive to gamepad mode. This is a problem with the controller itself. Maybe I have a defective controller? I don't know, I can't get anyone to tell me if they're having problems or not.
  22. I... every console tracks stuff you do.
  23. oh wow uh ...i could make that work
