Why am I playing KOTOR again

Steve V.

Dunno. Play Republic Commando instead.

But I dug out KOTOR because I wanted an RPG

Steve V.

And there's the answer to your question.

That'll be several thousand dollars in consulting fees, by the way.

@SteveV but out of all the RPGs on earth why on earth did I choose KOTOR

because god the first 6 hours of this game suck

You can bind a macro to a key without an addon using SetBindingMacro followed by SaveBindings. /run SetBindingMacro("SHIFT-A", "mymacro") /run SaveBindings(2) Replace SHIFT-A with whatever key you want: A, ALT-A, CTRL-SHIFT-A, etc. Replace mymacro with the name you gave your macro. Replac...

Starting a two player game (TCP/IP or IPX, doesn't matter) works great, but after ~10 minutes of playing the client (and always the client even when switching roles) crashes to desktop without any logfile left.

Q: Multiseat gaming?

Multiseat (see here (SU) and here (unix.SE)) allows multiple users to use one PC with multiple mice/keyboards/monitors as if it were several PCs. It would be great to run some less-hardware-hungry games this way since no second PC were required. Unfortunately all I tried so far didn't work: Ubu...

In city-building games like CivCity Rome and the Anno series (in particular I'm playing Anno 1701 right now), is it possible to max out every household with all the numerous goods they need to reach the max level?

@CRoss I know, I know.

Also I wonder what they mean by "International version"

does the US version have a more acceptable amount of cleavage?

That's what those cars must have been for: clumsy censoring!

Slightly ironic that only three hours ago Oak posted a question on MSO about dealing with spammers.

This answer is, by the way, brilliant:

1

Roll them up in one account, so we can count the scalps of all the failed attempts to pollute our sites! If you're really competitive, let all the mods have one of their own! Plus it leaves the devs with a nice backlog of spam messages they could use for heuristics or blacklisting across the n...

Holding a competition would be great!

@YiJiang No need, we already know @Oak would win hands down here.

Grace, if you're around, this account wants a beautiful assassination.

Is it a bug that this account doesn't have a display name?

It should display user + id, but somehow I can't see it

Weird.

@YiJiang Dunno, but I think it's what happens for all userXYZTL accounts.

@badp Just checked SO, can't see it there either. I think it might be a bug

@YiJiang That would be three.

Oh noe! Too late.

Would you like me to try @GnomeSlice or is it fine?

@badp Teh Powerz!

I'm sure it's fine.

But go ahead.

If not, migrate it to one of the rooms I created last week, when I was trying to figure out how it worked. :P

Okay, deleted rooms show up in my migration candidates list, but if I choose them Nothing Happens™

@YiJiang Done. :)

It wasn't even supposed to be a prequel, George Lucas just did those three last because he wanted to wait for better graphics technology to be developed.

so I don't think it actually has one

6:57 PM

Mine has from Yahoo :)

But OpenID from Yahoo required authentication from the account holder there, so that doesn't help

@Oak I guess that means you can change the openid field to arbitrary things

Doesn't work

@Ivo can't we just create a new openid from some external site, and then change the users to all use that?

good idea

Doing it now

Huh.
