Q: Games that use R2/L2 buttons on PSP

How do games utilize the R2 and L2 buttons on a PSP? One game in particular that comes to mind is Xenogears, it was originally on the PS One but can be played on PSP. While you're exploring the world you can quickly get in and out of your gear by pushing these 2 buttons simultaneously. But when...

3ventic

I've thought about buying simcity many times

but then I figured naaah

every time

RedRiderX

@3ventic Yeah that's probably a good decision.

Think about buying every other SimCity first.

3ventic

I don't want to pay 30€ on a game I might play for 10-20 hours

RedRiderX

Even SimAnt

Ullallulloo

3:01 PM

wat

3ventic

is SimPark from the same creators?

RedRiderX

@Ullallulloo Smash Bros?

Ullallulloo

The princess from Galaxy?

RedRiderX

@3ventic Yeah I think so maybe....

Ullallulloo

@RedRiderX yeah

3ventic

3:01 PM

I used to play that a lot as a kid

ElfSlice

@Ullallulloo Rosalina

She was in Mario Kart already, so why not smash bros

3ventic

I bought Cities XL though

that's pretty cool

Ullallulloo

@ElfSlice hmm, didn't know that.

RedRiderX

@3ventic Oh wow simpark I remeber it now...

ElfSlice

Sim Theme Park is the best sim game

easily

3ventic

3:02 PM

Flight Simulator X best sim

at least from those that aren't about managing stuff

Wandang

@3ventic i beg to differ

3ventic

Tree sim is great too

You play a tree and you can't do anything but chat with other trees

Wandang

3ventic

At least I can burn the images

ElfSlice

@Ullallulloo Yeah, Mario Kart Wii

Q: ಠ_ಠ button for chat

I think this would be really useful. There's a Chrome plugin that provides some great functionality, but sometimes you just need to break out a disapproving look immediately in another browser, and I think SE chat needs to support this. Can we have a ಠ_ಠ button please?

feature-request chat

5pike

@ElfSlice Oh, I remember that game. Was a bitch to get running, but damn, was it fun.

ElfSlice

@5pike Yeah!

Ullallulloo

@3ventic I didn't actually want it added to vanilla chat, but those addons should work.

Wandang

@3ventic how can he get rep from that?

RedRiderX

Dang

Wandang

3:10 PM

shouldnt it be -15 rep for him in the end?

3ventic

@Wandang +14 makes for 70 rep, -29 makes for -58 rep, so he got 12 rep from it

RedRiderX

@Wandang +5 for upvotes -2 for downvotes right?

No wait.

3ventic

@RedRiderX yes

RedRiderX

@3ventic Ah okay.

Wandang

thats a shitty system then

RedRiderX

3:11 PM

@Wandang Eeeeeh not so much.

3ventic

And that's why downvoted questions sometimes stay

which is awesome for the comedy value

Wandang

3:12 PM

@RedRiderX Question upvotes are +5, Answer upvotes are +10 and all downvotes are -2 (and answers are -1 for the voter.)

RedRiderX

Ah yeah that sounds familiar.

3ventic

Downvotes on questions don't cost rep to the voter

ElfSlice

Now I want to see if I can find Sim Theme Park somewhere and get it running

that game was awesome

3ventic

unless they changed that recently

Theme Park World

Theme Park World (known as Sim Theme Park in the United States and Brazil) is a construction and management simulation, and is a sequel to the successful video game Theme Park. Theme Park World was developed by Bullfrog Productions and released by Electronic Arts in 1999. Initially developed for Windows, it was later ported to PlayStation and PlayStation 2, as well for Macintosh computers. The Mac version was published by Feral Interactive. Although it has no connection with Maxis' Sim titles, both Maxis and Bullfrog are owned by Electronic Arts, so it is still seen as part of the Sim s...

It had a different name overseas

In North America it was Sim Theme Park

Ullallulloo

@Arperum 16

It's my second playthrough though

Arperum

@Ullallulloo Isn't 285 a terribly low damage for a lvl 16? o_O

Ullallulloo

@Arperum I don't know.

That's just my weapon, but it said it was a damage record for me.

Arperum

@Ullallulloo Been a mage twice?

@Ullallulloo ... My damage record is 1005 damage, and IIRC that was with a lvl 17 Turtle tamer.

Ullallulloo

@Arperum O_o

Arperum

@Ullallulloo That long ago though. There might be some hobopolis items involved.

My magic damage record is even higher though, and that was reached at lvl 11.

but problably supereffective and crit involved.

ElfSlice

Youtube responds to the copyright claim mess

Basically they don't give a shit about it

@ElfSlice I'm not surprised..

Powerlord

Speaking of hats and broken, Valve apparently needs a new calendar, as they ran the Full Moon event early... tried to use some of my Halloween/Full Moon items yesterday and despite the full moon not even being out yet, they were already disabled.

I should send Chris Kadar a Lunar Calendar to give to the TF2 guys at Valve.

Q: Widescreen resolutions in KMQuake2

I recently tried KMQuake2 (Knightmare Quake II) and it works very well for playing Quake2. However, it doesn't support widescreen resolutions (16:9), like 1920 x 1080 Is there any addon for KMQuake2 to make it support widescreen resolutions? KMQuake2 homepage doesn't have any support page or co...

@Lazers Since Quake didn't support widescreen resolutions, what were they expecting? The game is like 15 years old now.

It's not actually an RPG, and my xbox controller seems to work fine

In fact this game probably is harder to play with a keyboard

@Yuki how did you get before it was cool?

Tim Stone

I pre-ordered it but haven't actually got around to playing it, which in thinking about it is a bit silly.

Usually it's us app developers that are at fault. Companies can't upgrade from XP because mission critical software was developed that doesn't run correctly on anything newer.
