Why does this game run poorly?
Deadly_Nightshade replied to Ebolaids's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)You're running a ultra-low-voltage processor and while I cannot remember off the top of my head if Unity is CPU or GPU bound that could be a fairly major issue if it is the former of the two (and, honestly, your GPU isn't great either).

Refund policy
Deadly_Nightshade replied to amblingon's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)If you bought it from GoG you can use their 30 Day Money Back Guarantee (although I doubt that applies to Kickstarter copies that were redeemed there so if you didn't actually buy it from them - that said, it might count as a gift and then they can 'offer you a replacement game of equal or lesser value, as a form of store credit').

Is it still possible to upgrade my bronze backer badge?

Deadly_Nightshade replied to Luridis's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Even if I never play the game I would still have pledged to support Obsidian.- Music - must - go on!

R.I.P. Top Gear UK, 2002 - 2015.- Steam vs GoG redemption ?
Deadly_Nightshade replied to endruwiggin's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Ummm... Steam is DRM... I'll get mine on GoG and pick up a Steam version down the line when it's on sale. He was correct. Steam allows the use of their DRM component, but doesn't enforce it. It's possible to have DRM free games on Steam, where Steam only acts as a mere downloader and nothing else. Meh, I disagree if only because being able to copy a game folder and run it later is not the same as having a truly DRM version that you can install when you want as many times as you want and easily back-up. Don’t get me wrong, I use Steam and grudgingly like bits of it but, overall, I don’t care for the product and mostly use it because there isn’t a good alternative (hence activating my copy on GoG when I had the choice between it and Steam). But I suspect that we have differing views of what constitutes DRM and should agree to disagree. Also I hate that Steam forces games to auto-update even though, technically, if you just used Steam to download the game and then launched it through the folder that wouldn't be an issue.- Steam vs GoG redemption ?
Deadly_Nightshade replied to endruwiggin's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)The first city was alright (basically the only bit of the game that got fleshed out before it became a hack-and-slash fest).- Why is release date so close to Bloodborne?
Deadly_Nightshade replied to Cyseal's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)It's funny, because I was just thinking that the peasant dung was spreading to the PoE forums. Urg, can you both stop it already?- RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS
I hear this awesome game by Obsidian is about to come out, Pilliars of Earth or something like that?- Official Keys Thread v 1.01
Deadly_Nightshade replied to VladWorks's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Be nice considering some of us paid a pound of flesh to see this get made via Kickstarter. How is that possible anyway? In short, Russian keys are often sold for cheaper but are supposed to only be used in Russia. People can get around that using [thing] or [thing] but sometimes there's no lock and anyone can use the keys. That's why the gray market is risky (if you buy a key and it gets locked in your area there's nothing you can do to get it off your Steam account and you cannot rebuy the game to fix that or get a new key).- Not sure if I can run this, can someone help?
I suspect you'll be ok.- Steam vs GoG redemption ?
Deadly_Nightshade replied to endruwiggin's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Incidentally, I had the same problem and just emailed support; they uploaded the patch I missed and emailed me a link. Because, unlike Steam, they have support...- Any Beta? When can I play it?
Deadly_Nightshade replied to dplehwalder's topic in Pathfinder Adventures: General Discussion (No Spoilers!)EDIT: Opps, wrong section. I suspect that they'll post if/when there's an alpha or beta.- Introduction

You'll be fine.- Build Thread 2.0
That card is likely worth more than both of my systems... Although I'm due for an upgrade soon (maybe over the summer depending on how much it'll cost me and if I stick with laptops or go back to a decktop - or maybe both).- Can I run it?
I think the GeForce 9600 is a very small step up from the HD 3000 so you should be fine running things on low.- Difference in hard drive usage between Steam and GOG
One of my laptops has a 1TB 5,400 drive and the other has one 160GB SSD and one 120GB SSD, one for Windows and the other for Linux, and it's amazing how much it helps (I don't think I'd ever go back to a regular drive for boot).- What you did today
Nice, now that it's getting warmer I'll have to do that myself (maybe V20: Dark Ages now that the PDF is out, it'll be a bit before I get the physical copy but I've got the digital one now although I prefer actual books to reading on a tablet).- Steam vs GoG redemption ?

My care package full of movies and tea and chocolate and two bottles of mead for my ‘it’s complicated’ got to her place tonight, she is trying to figure out Masters programs this week and is stressed so I thought I would cheer her up since I'll not make it up to see her, and she loved it so that’s good. We've been going on for over three months now I think we’re doing well. I hope.- White People: What They Say in Public vs Behind Closed Doors
Honestly I'm not sure they should be in that case, while it would be nice for 'Schrodinger's Father' to have some input ultimately it's not his body and thus not his choice (bodily autonomy/integrity and all of that). But that's a discussion that has been done plenty of times already and is a bit off topic.- White People: What They Say in Public vs Behind Closed Doors
'CIS' is short for 'cisgender', an insanity driven label revolving around the world of the 'transgendered'. It's new on the landscape of words, and was created by 'sociologists' and the like. The etymology is fascinating to me. Trans was accepted and people pulled a term from isomerism in chemistry to complement it I imagine the intention was to pull something directly from Latin that would be the opposite of 'trans': Cis: PREP ACC [XXXCO] on/to this/near side of, short of; before, Trans: PREP ACC [XXXCX] across, over; beyond; on the other side- White People: What They Say in Public vs Behind Closed Doors
Volo we have made this discussion before, white people typically haven't been the victims of historical or systemic abuse in society. The Irish would like a word. Technically, at least in the context of the United States, they weren’t always considered 'white' (historically speaking). But then it’s not like race is a social construct or anything like that… Oh wait… It is… R00fles! - So... Was it worth your pledge?
