I realize this may not seem like the right forums for this, but I am trying to build a GAMING PC. So I've got a 32Bit laptop that runs source engine based GAMES pretty well and I'll like to upgrade it to a 64Bit computer. So what hardware will I need to acquire for this task?

@MattGiltaji I like rpgs, dislike shooters sometimes, but really dislike horror-themed games

@Basil its much more sci fi than horror, but there are some body-snatcher type things going on

Basil

in skyrim, my favorite part was the civil war, but my least favorite part was the assassin's guild

Wipqozn

00:59

@Basil Mass Effect games are a cross between an RPG and a third person shooter. There isn't really much horror, it's strictly sci-fi.

Matt Giltaji

i know that in the more recent ones, you can set the combat difficulty to easy so that you can focus on the story

Basil

@Wipqozn that's cool :) I don't know why so many sci-fi games are so horror-based, but when they're not, I really enjoy them :)

Matt Giltaji

i don't remember about the original

Basil

How twitchy is the shooter aspect?

Wipqozn

@Basil Not very twitchy.

Matt Giltaji

@Basil its more about taking proper shots than spraying bullets everywhere

@Yuuki yeah, there is a "perfect" ending where no one dies, and other endings that are worse. It beats the ME3 ending by far

Yuuki

01:17

@MattGiltaji Well, I think the perfect ending involves starting the final act right away.

Which means you leave a loyalty mission unfinished.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Yuuki It's mainly about not triggering the final act until you take care of other things.

Matt Giltaji

@Yuuki nope, you can do all the loyalty missions before picking up the final crewmember

LessPop_MoreFizz

You don't need to leave anything unfinished, you just need to plan your mission order in such a way that the endgame clock doesn't start ticking until you only have one left

Matt Giltaji

@LessPop_MoreFizz exactly

LessPop_MoreFizz

we have a really god Q/A on the subject on the site

Yuuki

01:18

@MattGiltaji Yeah, but the final crewmember is picked up during the mission that starts the third act.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Yuuki Yes. And you can do exactly one mission after picking him up before anything bad starts to happen.

Matt Giltaji

@Yuuki correct, but you can that crewmember's loyalty mission before racing off to save the day

LessPop_MoreFizz

So, if you do everything else before finding him, then do his loyalty mission, then endgame, you're good.

Matt Giltaji

@LessPop_MoreFizz this is how I got the perfect ending

Yuuki

@LessPop_MoreFizz Huh. I could've sworn I remembered losing one non-away team crewmember despite doing exactly this.

Q: Skyrim Sickness Comment

People I walk by in the game are always mentioning that I look "sick." Is that something they just say or is that a problem? If it's a problem, how can I fix it

Q: Are valuables used for anything or can I sell them all?

There is a "Valuables" tab in the inventory, and on first glance it looks like the stuff in that category isn't used for anything. But I'm also not that far into the game and want to avoid selling anything that might still have some use. Is everything in the valuables category useless and can I ...

Q: How do I use the throwing knives?

I've just started playing FarCry 4, and have picked up some throwing knives and an assault rifle. When I initially picked up the knives, I think a tutorial displayed briefly on the bottom of the screen, but I was in the middle of a gun fight and wasn't able to see what it said. I've been trying...

Huh, seems that my "period of apprenticeship" is "over".

But that means pretty much nothing.

...

Arperum

@5pike So what is happening now then? You entered a new era of no-longer-being-an-apprentice?

5pike

@Arperum No, not really.

It just means that the official time is over.

I still need to do the final apprenticeship examination

Arperum

@5pike Ah.

@5pike Good luck with that then, whenever it happens.

5pike

@Arperum In a few months, I guess.

It's pretty much the fault of the trade school. They were not able to make a good schedule.

Whatever, as long as there are no disadvantages, I don't really care.

Oh Belgian railway system. Keep being stupid and reward playing it unfair.

Right now there is a rule that you pay 12.5€ extra if you don't buy a ticket before boarding and don't inform the railway guard (doesn't feel like the right word here). If you do inform him, you pay 3 € extra.

They are changing that to make it "no ticket when boarding the train? 7€ extra, no matter what. (Except if the station has no option of buying a ticket)"

SO if you don't inform him/her you pay less then before, and even have a chance of not having to pay at all. because they don't always control/get to control the whole train.

5pike

@Arperum You are lucky that you can buy a ticket after boarding. In Austria, you get fined for fare-dodging.

Arperum

@5pike It is some sort of fine actually, and you have to pay on the spot, otherwise it's a fine of 60€ IIRC

5pike

@Arperum If you have no ticket, you have to pay 60 € on the spot, no matter what. If you can't pay right away, the fine rises to 95 €.

There are exceptions, like when the ticket machine is broken, but you have to prove that.

Arperum

@5pike Gah. In that case our fine is a lot better.

@5pike How the fuck are you going to prove that the ticket machine is broken?

5pike

@Arperum Exactly.

(ALso: I know of a way to bluescreen our old ticket machines. Buffer overflow causes bluescreen)

Law is fun

Arperum

The fun part is that it takes you half a minute or something, and the machine takes a couple more minutes to crash, and you can barely be caught. I never did it myself, but have seen it done by someone I know.

Its just that the rules are changing in advantage of the dishonest traveler... To simplify the system.

5pike

@Arperum I bet they have some sort of logs, that could prove that the machine was borked, but I bet they won't give those out.

Arperum

@5pike At the very least they should have a log of "we fixed machines on these places on these days.

5pike

I guess a lawyer could request those logs, but they usually cost much more than a fine. Great system they have there...

I'm vaguely reminded of one of my dad's coworkers who was issued a lifetime ban from some city parking lots because they figured out he was forging parking tickets. They found out because one day the machine was broken, and his car was the only one with a ticket.

Q: What benefits are there to side with Sabal or Amrita?

Is there a gameplay benefit from siding with either Sabal or Amrita? Or does the decision I make have no impact except on the plot of the story itself?

@TrentHawkins He should've checked the machine.

@TrentHawkins OUCH

Also: today's planning is fucking awesome. "read malformed XML, add to excel file. also read correctly formed xml, update same excelfile

Also: for the malformed xml: all you have is a worddoc with how it is going to look.

How and where you'll have to find these xml's is not known, what naming pattern will be used is not known.

Nor for the malformed, nor for the correctly formed xml.

THIS IS NOT A VALID TAG DAMMIT.

Q: XO everything "taking too long" and no controller pairing

I'm hoping someone can help me. My XO (about a week ago) has developed a couple of faults. It wont connect to any Controllers wirelessly, and on the rare occassions it does, it disconnects after about 45 seconds or so. I can only use the controller if I hardwire it, and even then the XO respons...

I think XO is a even worse abbreviation for the XBox One than XBone

And my Steam just restarted itself to apply an update that fixes crashes on OS X

Blackletter

Blackletter, also known as Gothic script, Gothic minuscule, or Textura, was a script used throughout Western Europe from approximately 1150 to well into the 17th century. It continued to be used for the German language until the 20th century. Fraktur is a notable script of this type, and sometimes the entire group of Blackletter faces is incorrectly referred to as Fraktur. Blackletter is sometimes called Old English, but it is not to be confused with the Old English language, despite the popular, though mistaken, belief that the language was written with blackletter. The Old English, or Anglo-Saxon...
