Q: Copied Better_Combat.dzip into CookedPC, but no effect

As described on the Help page, the .dzip should be copied into CookedPC. I did that, but the Quen Sign still has a duration of 30s when I load my savegame. Any way to check if the mod das been loaded correctly?

Oh, okay.

That will be the last one then.

except for this one play.google.com/store/apps/…

StrixVaria

@GnomeSlice That sounds the same as a million other games.

GnomeSlice

@StrixVaria which games?

it's pretty good

it's satisfying to watch all the numbers going up and down

StrixVaria

Every game where you get planets that produce ships and so does the AI and you have to take over more planets so you have more things producing ships and just outnumber your opponent.

I've played at least 4 on Android.

GnomeSlice

Eh, I guess.

I thought it was gonna be like Galcon at first

it kind of is

I like it though, it's paced really well

It's a good game to relax with

StrixVaria

3:08 AM

Yeah, Galcon is one of them.

GnomeSlice

I was really disappointed by the android port of galcon fusion

I have never heard anybody call sneakers 'tennis shoes' except like once in a book. Running Shoes or Sneakers.

> The New York term hero is first attested in 1937.[15] The name is sometimes credited to the New York Herald Tribune food writer Clementine Paddleford in the 1930s, but there is no good evidence for this. It is also sometimes claimed that it is related to the gyro, but this is unlikely as the gyro was unknown in the United States until the 1960s, according to some sources.[4]

@OrigamiRobot Except that by definition the person driving has to be the person receiving the alcohol

GnomeSlice

If you want booze you have to go down to the LCBO and go in and buy it.

It's in the driver's hands when they are driving

FEichinger

@LessPop_MoreFizz I know it's legal. It just seems counterintuitive. Like tempting fate

GnomeSlice

Google is on my side

LessPop_MoreFizz

Actually, correction. Mississippi actually allows you to drink behind the wheel outright.

@murgatroid but how else would a person buying booze ever get it home?

GnomeSlice

@LessPop_MoreFizz Are you joking

Tim Stone

@GnomeSlice It's a gimmick-y type thing in that beach-heavy area

Unionhawk

looks up state alcohol laws, sees mississippi

> Free alcohol all day and night in coastal casinos.

And no open container law either

murgatroid99

@LessPop_MoreFizz Buy it, put it somewhere that's not the driver's hands, get in the car, then drive home.

LessPop_MoreFizz

3:40 AM

@murgatroid you realize that in a drive through, the driver can, y'know, put it down on the passenger seat or in the backseat or whatever

He doesn't have to hold it the whole way home.

Tim Stone

@LessPop_MoreFizz Damn, this will make future fast food pickups a lot easier.

FEichinger

A "drive-thru" is not a literal drive through. You can stop inside.

murgatroid99

@LessPop_MoreFizz I know what people can do. I'm not saying that it's tempting fate on the driver's side. I'm just saying that it seems weird to me to put alcoholic drinks in the hands of someone driving a car as a matter of course.

Origami Robot

If someone doesn't have the self control to not drink when they receive the bottle, I don't think making them go inside is going to stop them.

user15026

@murgatroid99 But then how does anyone ever get it home? Like if I go to the LCBO and buy whatever, if I can't have it in my car, how do I do the thing?

FEichinger

3:42 AM

Huh. I wonder how crime statistics would be for drive-thru-only liquor stores as opposed to traditional liquor stores.

user15026

I mean there are always going to be people doing stupid things

user15026

but like....I don't think this one is as dangerous as it sounds

user15026

Just like put it on the seat or tuck it in the back seat tada problem solved

Origami Robot

Like, I see how it seems silly on the surface, but what is the scenario we're talking about where (maybe) having the car off when the driver is holding the bottle is making the difference?

user15026

@OrigamiRobot Exactly. I could get in, turn the car on and drink the alcohol. It's not difficult.

Unionhawk

3:46 AM

Unsurprisingly, there are other people of the internet concerned with this. But I think ultimately, if someone is dumb enough to drink while driving a car, going to a drive thru isn't making that process significantly easier. Maybe a little, but not much.

murgatroid99

@OrigamiRobot I'm looking at this from the point of view that there are stupid people. It seems to me that if you give people alcohol while they are driving a car, some of them will be dumb enough to think that it's OK to start drinking it, more so than if they weren't driving when they got it.

user15026

@Unionhawk The only thing it changes is the part where you do/do not have to turn the car on

user15026

@murgatroid99 I am not sure how you think it is easier than going into the store and then coming out and doing the same thing.

Origami Robot

@murgatroid99 If someone is that dumb, I don't see turning the car on/off as making the difference.

user15026

I mean I see that ALL the time.

Unionhawk

3:47 AM

@murgatroid99 With all the "DRIVE SOBER OR GET PULLED OVER" stuff on TV and whatnot, someone has to be really dumb to think this is an okay thing.

And they would probably do it going to a walk-in liquor store.

user15026

(Once a guy I knew got plastered and then furrowed a field and planted corn. It looked hilarious as it came up, all zigzagged and patchy.)

Origami Robot

I could see a better argument that people are more likely to start drinking in the walk-in scenario because when they get back to their car, they aren't doing anything that prevents them from drinking.

user20683

@OrigamiRobot I think people just kind of start drinking.

Origami Robot

At least in a drive through you have to drive out of the way when you're done.

user20683

Doesn't matter where they get the booze

Origami Robot

3:51 AM

I'm just thinking, like, which situation would I be more likely to start eating my fries?

user20683

@OrigamiRobot Unless you're one of those huge, jack-up pickups and then people just drive under you

user15026

@OrigamiRobot Yeah, without that you can just sit in your car, motor going, and drink all you like

Origami Robot

The answer is if I walked inside and left.
