Light Table showing off some Python functionality by roger_in Python

[–]LinFTW 2 points3 points ago

It's still 50k away from supporting Python with only 8 days to go, we'll see how close it is near the end of the kickstarter.

If this doesn't get funded what are you plans for the product?

I've noticed this lately as well. Time to start billing perhaps?

My friend is writing an article in a magazine about music in video games. I need some expert advice to answer the question, Thanks! by lax2themaxxin Games

[–]LinFTW 0 points1 point ago

Why does it have to be orchestral? This seems to limit your choices and would cheapen the article to me. It also allows you to miss great soundtracks like those in Shatter, Waveform, and Frozen Synapse.

Need a new controller for PC gaming - advice? by carthoris26in Games

[–]LinFTW 3 points4 points ago

I don't have the wireless 360 controller, but the wired version (it was on sale for 20 bucks during the holidays). I have to say I think getting a wireless one really isn't need, the wire isn't that clunky, and then you don't need a charger or adapter. Yes the d-pad is complete garbage, in fact it's the worst d-pad I've ever used. The question is are you going to use the d-pad? If not I'd say get the wired 360 controller. It was great to play Psychonauts with, and generally feels really great. I don't have a 360, but the controller is very comfortable in my hands, and was easy to get used to versus my ps3 controller.

I hope they fix the running animation, because they were moving faster than their feet were and it bothered me.

Novy Soyuz - Soviet "Fallout" from the creators of Men of War, x-post from r/wrpg by Dreamerczin Games

[–]LinFTW 0 points1 point ago

Good to see something based on an alternate history and timeline. I really enjoyed the universe that was created in Metro 2033. Thanks for the data/translation. I hope they are able to do a bit better with their English voice actors this time around.

New race announced, meet the Sowers! by SpinnerMasterin EndlessSpace

Very cool race. It will be interesting to see how they differentiate how they play from others.

I don't really know, from what I understood the gunships that they usually flew were larger than these, and if I remember correctly still had servitors controlling certain portions.

First Look: Company Of Heroes 2 | Rock, Paper, Shotgun - Tragedies, not statistics by IplayCoDandBFin Games

More base building, glad to know Relic is putting back in the most awkward (and my most hated) part of Company of Heroes. The scenarios where you didn't have to build a base are so much better than the others.

Just started playing Castlevania lord of shadows and cant seem to get into it. I got this game a while back for like $10 and figured it was good from all the hype, is it just me? by vaporizorin Games

[–]LinFTW 1 point2 points ago

I'm not sure who told you it starts slow and then gets amazing. For me it was pretty boring to start, then the combat just seemed to get in the way causing me to die and generally be frustrated (this was about half way through the game on hard mode). It feels like a sluggish God of War and I've never picked it back up after trying to once or twice.

So where do the stormtalons fall into the lore? I have a hard time seeing a marine piloting one of those when they could hook a servitor up to it. Am I just missing something where these flyers are described in the codex? I don't see them on the wiki at all. I am loving the ork designs though.

Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri by CygnusX1in truegaming

I agree, it is looking good so far. Needs some more planet options though.

What look a 'classic' Taco / Tortilla / Wrap thing like? by s0werkr0wtin tacos

[–]LinFTW 1 point2 points ago

Shells are not usually deep fried, but heated on a griddle as a soft taco.

Having problems with remote shutdown of a server - need some advice. by angryPenguinatorin linuxadmin

[–]LinFTW 0 points1 point ago

Are these processes still running right now? Is there anything on the system that could cause issues where it has to be shut down prior to the machine shutting down? Additionally, if you shut down the box, I assume it's hooked up to some sort of interface you can use to start it since physical access is not available? I don't think there is enough data to go on here regarding the issue.

It's all good. I figured it got caught somewhere.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown arriving October 9th, pre-order and CE detailed by Bladerunner12in Games

[–]LinFTW 5 points6 points ago

Yes the stack of death issue is what I meant by the reworked grid system. I don't disagree with you that most games are broken at launch, but lets start slapping a 'hey beta test our game for free' label on there. We are talking nearly two years since the release of Civ 5, and they're still fixing it.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown arriving October 9th, pre-order and CE detailed by Bladerunner12in Games

[–]LinFTW 5 points6 points ago

I do realize this, but I still feel as though Civ 5 was a step back from Civ 4. Other than the grid system being better, they only seemed to remove features that were part of the base game in Civ 4. Granted I haven't played either game in a while so I could be off on this. I guess I'm hard on Civ 5 because I was disappointed. It doesn't have to have everything, but it should still be building on the previous games and their ideas.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown arriving October 9th, pre-order and CE detailed by Bladerunner12in Games

[–]LinFTW 4 points5 points ago

I just looked at it, and it seems to just re-hash what was already in the expansion packs for Civ 4 that should have been in Civ 5 by default. I guess I'm really still just a bit whiny since I felt like Civ 5 didn't live up to my expectations, and I quickly grew tired of it.

Nolan North wins part in Star Trek 2 (film) off the back of Uncharted by ThatGuyWhoWanksin Games

I'm really tired of seeing/hearing Nolan North in everything. He seems like a nice enough guy, but jeez, lets get some new voices!

Want to get into Warhammer. Any tips? by TinyRagein Warhammer

[–]LinFTW 1 point2 points ago

I know you're excited, but consider a few things while you wait for 6th edition to come out. You say you don't have many people that play near you, will the painting and collecting be enough to keep you driven in the hobby? Are you financially sound enough to keep the hobby going? Do you have the patience, and time not devoted to other things to really get into it?

I'd start looking at some examples of painting WH miniatures, and see if that process appeals to you, a workspace to paint also needs to be considered. Is there room in your house/apartment for this? I'm sure I sound like the negative nancy in the group, but WH is both fun, time consuming, and expensive (regardless as to whether you buy second hand, or new) so you need to really consider these things before you get started. It it's still a toss up hit up the Games Workshop store and buy some cheap minis of the army you like to see if you enjoy painting them before you go crazy.

[–]LinFTW 2 points3 points ago

This is my concern as well. Civ 5 did not feel ready for launch when it was finally released. I hope they aren't trying to push this out the door too early, especially as they've promised that the PC and console versions will be different regarding the user interface. Is it really ok to say they seem 'on track' to fix Civ 5? I don't think so, the game has been out since September of 2010.

What goes through my mind every night by rageman2in fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu

[–]LinFTW 0 points1 point ago

Just clean as you go, makes things quick and easy. I know you're thinking 'but I do not have time as I cook to clean', well you do. You probably just don't realize it because you're goofing off in some fashion. Try it some time.

What's with the downvotes for this comment? This is coming from someone I know in the military. They are bored as shit.
