Well, Gmail automatically set up the "Social" tab for their inbox, so it already wasn't particularly invasive for me. If it was though I could set up labels and whatnot to filter it easily. I suppose I could do that...I disabled the tabs/categories as soon as they introduced them...

I get emails when people comment on my videos. I'd rather not have my email spammed...the inbox worked perfectly fine. I'm also stubborn and largely refuse to compromise with YouTube, particularly since I've given up on them.

I'm a "content creator", (I use quotes because...not really - all I do is post other people's music - close to 700 songs worth of it at the moment - whoops), and I've been trying to think up of a fitting "I quit" message for the past few months... Haven't quite gotten around to it, though...apathy is a strong (de)motivator. Honestly, the biggest thing that annoys me as a second-rate, small-time uploader...is that I can't even see new comments on my uploads anymore. It used to be a daily ritual for me, checking my inbox and looking at all the new comments people have left on my videos. Alas...YouTube's internal user inbox largely no longer exists.

Also, US residents who were registered rejoice, because your chances of getting a prototype increased by having all registered international applicants deemed inelligible. I wonder how many people that cut from the pool. If I recall the original number correctly, about half. I remember the number of eligible participants being in the mid to high 900,000s. Now it's in the high 400,000s.

Yeah, guess that's what I'm planning on doing. Might have to buy a new video card soon, (my 4 year old 5770 is going bad, ), so I guess it will probably be helping fund it...

Bought a 4930k new for $200. Don't have much to do with it, though, to be honest...amazing CPU, but I don't really need the performance, (evidence of that fact being that I'm still running along just fine on an old Phenom II x4...), nor do I really want to build another PC...

The weird controls you are having is most likely because the negative mouse acceleration the game has. Just another case of devs not having a clue about the differences of controllers and KB&M. These days I almost burst in tears of joy if I run across a game that doesn't have any kind of mouse acceleration crap, or heaven forbid, an actual on/off button for it in options! There are registry edits that disable it system-wide, I believe.

That's called Dolby Surround, you either turn off in-game 3D sound or buy a proper sound system... But there's no such option in-game. How do I turn it off? There's no baldur.ini like there used to be. Isn't there in the user documents folder?

Please spare the Daughter of Chaos. In fact, head on back down into the Chasm of the Abyss and farm 80 humanity for the poor girl. Her story is just sooo tragic *sniff*. I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but that's the faction I actually joined on my playthrough...aaand then I cheated my humanity via Cheat Engine to the top 20 of the list simply to see if it would work, (60,000 was the max, if I recall correctly - whoever got there first stayed there in the order they got there). Kind of a silly faction, but it did seem to be the best singleplayer one...

Hey, I liked the ninja flip ring. Wolf Ring is alright, but I prefer to not get hit to begin with. Then again, I was also pretty much purely a dexterity character and only used the default thief outfit, (since I thought everything else I picked up either looked ridiculous or was too heavy or very likely a combination of both), so that might've affected my outlook a little...

Are you...not supposed to? I soloed everything in Dark Souls except the end game boss and the DLC content...and I didn't solo those because I kinda just got bored of the game after the fourth Lord Soul and quit. Although, admittedly, I do think that those guys were probably the hardest of the bosses that I did do. I also ended up killing Smough first, which you're apparently not supposed to do...

InExile is plotting to ruin Torment by making it turn-based
Bartimaeus replied to khango's topic in Computer and Console
That's not even a spell that's in any of the BG games...lol -
Ha! This is me, too. If I can't get *any* character names out of the dozen or so I have in a list, (literally, I keep them in a list, ), I just give up.

Why? It is being very uncooperative. If I don't turn the AI completly off, the party is acting extremly stupidly. If I do turn it off, they very often refuse to take orders at all. I don't remember having so much trouble with it when I played it back when. I do. I left the party AI on because I could not be bothered. And...given how easy the game is (on core), it's especially not worth the effort. And this coming from a guy who never used party AI in BG/IWD except by mistake...

I created single CD install/play .isos of of all the Infinity Engine games years ago, (and there's also an .exe modifier to disable the CD check if you did full installs that works on all of the Infinity Engine games - it also does it cleanly enough that any mods that also patch the .exe still work perfectly)...but if you're not a big fan of the fuss of modding, fair enough.
-
I still find the fact that they made/are making this very impressive...but also still think that the chances of me wanting to try and play Baldur's Gate in the NWN engine/setup to be close to nil.

Ew. Didn't back it, but mayhap won't be purchasing it when it's released, either. Ah well. Other people's problem, not mine. -
In game? No. Some of the weapons in Dark Souls...I don't think I could make myself go through the game looking as you would with some of them. Used a relatively normal sized blade, (Balder Side Sword), on my playthrough.

I know I'm not the OP, but since I still have frame issues, too...: 2x4GB DDR3, Phenom II x4 970 3.5GHz, AMD 5770, some 1TB 7200 RPM hard drive. 2013/08/30 GPU drivers, Windows 7 x64 SP1 for OS. Game doesn't run at all without being in compatibility mode (for Windows XP SP2). Getting a little on the old side, but should be way more than sufficient for silly Neverwinter Nights 1,

My FPS is still kind of terrible in the original Neverwinter Nights, too. In some areas, it's alright...in others, like Blacklake, it was like 15, haha

Ehm, I got my copies modded to BGT and unfinished business (including download) in less than 15 minutes... So unless you make 100$ per hour, it's overpriced... And, you're definitely getting more than UB and BGT with it Yes...that's the bad bit.

I have given the men the ability to detect time.

Since we're on the subject... -90% off of Lava Mortus -90% off of KnightShift -75% off of Delve Deeper ...and maybe actually hopefully kind of useful to somebody... -50% off of Age of Empires 2: HD Edition

They do? In that case, why weren't they improved for BG1:EE, since they mostly switched over to BG2 sprites, (or created some of their own (or used what modders created before the game was released, mainly 1pp's/Erephine's, I think))?

Thanks for posting! Audience seems a little tepid so far, but I always like listening to him speak.
