True Neutral Elf Ranger (5th Level) Strength- 11 Dexterity- 13 Constitution- 12 Intelligence- 13 Wisdom- 14 Charisma- 12 ....haha, I'm a weak little thing. ... I might think of myself as leaning more towards Neutral Good too. But...that test often made me feel like I was contradicting myself from question to question in order to give as "true" answers as possible via the way they worded things. Also....too many questions.

So, any of you on IPS rated at 5-7ms, do you notice a bit of motion blur in games? Like when I'm running, I feel like in some games the terrain/some objects, especially to the sides/"peripheral" vision (eg, not everything) will blur a bit more notably on the IPS (supposedly 5ms) than on my old monitor, which was (supposedly) 2ms. Not blurry blurry, just a bit less sharp, and then if you stop, it super-fast settles into sharp again. It's not a big deal, but once I notice, it becomes a bit irritating. I don't recall ever noticing that effect before, so I'm wondering if it's the monitor ms response time or something else...like do I just notice it because the screen is physically bigger. I know monitor claims to ms response time can sometimes be a bit bogus, too...anyway to find that out?

"Hm, maybe 1080 on 27" isn't that awesome for gaming. Something seems off vs. desktop visuals." ....it wasn't until I looked at some screenshots I'd taken while I was playing that I realized I'd forgotten to reset many of my game configs to 1080 after playing in 1600x900 out in the living room. Changed that, much better. LadyCrimson <-------- the definition of "brainfart." On the bright side, the IPS makes for the best "non-native" resolution visual result I've ever had. I noticed it, obviously, but it was fairly subtle.

I didn't actually watch those movies as a kid but I did read a lot of books ... funny how parents can be so strict about TV/film but forget about books. ...alternated between the desktop, the couch, outdoor patio, and mild strength-exercising in the garage. Now unsure what to do with myself, when I feel like I can neither sit/lie or move/exercise for extended periods of time. heh

I'm like that too...lots of shows I've only tried because Netflix exists. And I tend to like shows (and movies) that my husband doesn't, so my watching stuff on the PC keeps us from arguing. Or if he's using the TV to play games, or if it's late at night and I want to use headphones...easier on the PC. ...The Voice has been the only singing show that hubby finds tolerable enough to sit through vs. leaving the room.

I suspect at least some of them will still buy the game when it's released in a final form, assuming the final form still interests them at all. Some just aren't willing to "fund" it, even if they are sorta interested. ...I haven't backed many KS projects at all, for instance, despite the fact many have been interesting/tempting. While I support KS's model for game/other funding, it just takes a lot to let loose my credit card for online purchase of anything. I didn't even have an Amazon account until Project Eternity finally got me to make one.

That used to happen to me too. I'd walk home from a friend's house at night when I was a kid and there was this one row of street lights in particular. I didn't see it as magical, however. More like Freddy Kruger creepy...to the point I'd move and walk down the middle of the road instead.

That would be cool. Sometimes I think part of our affection and anthropomorphizing of animal buddies is that seeming human desire to not be alone in the universe.

Sad but true. The quality of the Divinity series is really high but it was always more the underdog compared to the much better known D&D classics. I think the move to turn-based is turning some away, too. Not me personally, but just saying. I've seen a lot of comments to that effect in other forums, even from people who've played the previous games.

It's kinda nice having a thread for TV vs. just using the movie thread... ...saw the 1st episode of Hannibal series. Hubs didn't like the emphasis on visual effect over chr/plot, but since it's used to try to show how the Graham character mentally "sees things," it didn't bother me. My problem with the show is that the guy playing Hannibal does not in any way match my mental image of Hannibal, which I find really distracting. And I don't mean because he doesn't look like Anthony Hopkins. Because of this, I'm not sure I can watch the show. It wasn't badly done however. Except ... Laurence Fishburne added nothing to the show. I used to love him, but he wasn't that good on CSI and now this.

I know nothing about guns, but isn't it possible US guns could have a reason for it looking to be on backwards, even if it isn't? Not to mention, it's the internet. These days I hardly trust any photo. Which is an annoying side-effect of photoshop-in-every-hand, actually.

Being Liked doesn't seem to affect my ability to edit. However, even tho I don't have "mod powers" that forum, I do still have the ability to not have the "edited by" line show up, so it still may not apply to me. If anyone else notices this effect, outside of the usual time-limit on editing posts, let us know.

Made a post in the Obsidian General forum. If someone would care to "like" it?

This is a short post to test a board feature. ***This is additional text I edited in later. ... so I'd say for me at least, the Like function doesn't affect my ability to edit.

I don't think it would apply to me, since I'm a moderator with editing powah. Maybe in one of the sections where I'm not a mod.

Re: big cats - there's always the famous case of Christian the lion. (I've seen the whole documentary...it's awesome). Think cats can't/don't remember bonds? Yea....no. I've had similar things with housecats too. Gave one away to someone else when I had too many. When I went to visit that person/cat over a year later, the cat instantly recognized me and ran over/head butted me.

MMO....so....no, not me. Altho if there was ever an organized, Obsidian forum MMO-party-day for some game, I might - emphasis on might - join in for a session. Always thought that would be funny.

Really? Has it always been like that I wonder? ...went to bed early and pretty much slept for 10 hours. Today I still feel physically terrible. Gotta keep moving tho, because lying still for too long is just as bad as bending or lifting things can be. Blargh.

Fishing is great for relaxation. It was a nice day, warm but not too warm. Cute cat outside, cute cat inside, I had my bases covered. Now going to finish watching that Defiance episode from SyFy. Maybe. My back and left wrist joint have been killing me the past 2 days, might nap more first.

Assuming he survives his injuries. But yeah....and good luck finding an "impartial" jury. More importantly, hopefully they'll be able to get more info, if there is any - eg did they act alone or what was going on. Anyway, glad it's over and no more loss of life occurred capturing him.

Yeah, this whole incident has me thinking about those kinds of things a lot. On the one hand, social media/connectivity can be used/be useful, on the other hand, more often than not, it just gets in the way and spreads misinformation/panic/hate etc. Not to mention, in some ways, it starts to feel a bit like the world is now a single, mass lynchmob that moves from one sensational thing to another. It was bad enough before social media ... makes me a bit uncomfy. But such is life.

Ah, ok. Guess the "comedians" on Twitter will have to stop making those Slurpee jokes. I've only been checking in now and then, but I'm probably still paying more attention than I might normally. A lot of Red Sox twitter peeps from Boston area in my timeline, freaking out. Just wish it was over.

Just to answer your question .... yes, it is. The timeline supposedly goes something like this: --assumption that suspects went into a panic after FBI released photos of them --they rob a 7-11 near MIT --they encounter MIT police officer and during encounter shoot him --they carjack a Mercedes SUV and later released the driver (or driver managed to escape) --Police search for/follow SUV to Watertown --gunfight in Watertown with 1 suspect wounded, other manages to flee.

"The Evil Within" ....so is this just another action-y mutant zombie game, then? Not survival/horror rpg? Kinda looks that way. Ah well. Not for me.
