Ok, so I'm playing my first runthrough of Dishonored GOTY, an I have been noticing some things that are "off" from what walkthroughs and answers to other questions provide. I tried reloading the area, and the Mission (Hours wasted....) and these things never changed: Overseers in Barracks ALWAY...

Trent Hawkins

@Frank iffy, but region locks are silly things to begin with, and I feel no obligation to honour them if there is indeed a way to bypass them.

Frank

@TrentHawkins On a personal note, I totally agree. I meant more on the Arqade aspect.

@GnomeSlice Wow. That's incredible

Also, the Eclipse hate makes me sad

@SaintWacko My experience with Eclipse has been much better than my experience with Netbeans.

SaintWacko

@Yuuki I've used both in the same project, and they both seemed to work pretty well

I didn't do any coding in Netbeans, though

I just created the layout, then switched to Eclipse for coding

Yuuki

@SaintWacko Oh, they're both pretty good, my experience has just been better with Eclipse.

Granted, I used them for completely different projects. Eclipse was mostly me messing around with Android and I had to use Netbeans for a class (which probably makes me biased).

Trent Hawkins

@Frank I'd say it should be allowed, but then I'm nowhere near qualified to tell if there's a legality issue that would complicate matters.

user4704

@Frank if there are questions about imported games here, that's sort of an implicit acceptance that region-locking-related questions are OK, since you often have to bypass said lock to play said games (especially older ones).

Frank

@JoshPetrie Depends on the console.

user4704

Yes.

We have no issues helping people with modded consoles, but I'm not sure of our stance on actually helping people mod said consoles.

I don't really think it is the site's job to police the EULA of console vendors; I'd expect region-locking questions to be okay from that perspective.

@JoshPetrie We apparently attempt to enforce EULA's of beta games. Not sure why, but there you have it.

Our actual stance on modding seems to be, "Meh. Sorta dodgy, but we can help them with it." and make a good faith assumption to the effect of legitimate usage.

But that kinda sorta gets turned on its head when we're bypassing protection put in place by the manufacturer.

Ktash

16:58

Well I've only got 100% achievements on 3 games (including that one). So going back and getting achievements for ones that don't have ridiculous DLC achievements and don't have that one achievement that requires selling of your soul

user15026

@Ktash selling your soul?

Kevin van der Velden

@Ktash I'll buy your soul, I'll pay you one achievement

Yuuki

@Ktash Does the one achievement for dying the first time in Dark Souls 2 count as "selling your soul"?

Ktash

@AshleyNunn I'll find a good example. One I know off the top of my head right now is in Halo anniversary, complete the Library on Heroic or harder without dying.

Yuuki

@Ktash Oh, that's annoying as f---.

Any other mission isn't so hard, but the Library?

Ktash

17:04

Yeah, exactly. You can't even take it slow, because in certain areas, the enemies spawn infinitely

user15026

That's messed up

Ktash

And I still need to hug someone

In portal 2

@AshleyNunn Another good one. Score 1,000,000 points in Geometry Wars Evolved without dying.

MBraedley

@Ktash There is a limit to the number of flood, but yes, they continuously spawn to refill that limit.

Ktash

@MBraedley Haha, yeah, but you can't sit and camp and kill them until you move on. And those are some of the worst sections of flood lol

ones where they spawn behind you too

Yuuki

Flood was annoying to deal with in the early Halo games.

Once you could just shoot out the infection forms inside the Flood zombies, they were much easier.

Origami Robot

17:12

@Yuuki Eh?

Yuuki

@OrigamiRobot I think after Halo 3, the Flood zombies had weak points where the little Flood squids burrowed into. If you shot there with a headshot-capable weapon (like a battle rifle or pistol), it was one-hit kill.

Made the Flood easy as pie.

Origami Robot

@Yuuki Those were always weak points.

Yuuki

@OrigamiRobot Really? I don't remember those in Halo 1.

For some odd reason.

Origami Robot

They might not have been 1-shot weak points, but they were weak points.

Ktash

This halo one was another hard one. Beat the level two betrayals on legendary with the weapons you start with. That would be a plasma pistol and a shotgun. You have to fight 3 covenant tanks, and several banshees, and the plasma pistol doesn't have the disable effect in Halo 1

Origami Robot

17:15

In Halo 2 they definitely counted as headshots because the Grunt Birthday Party skull activated when shooting them there.

Rapitor

The Flood's weakspots were their bulges, also any bullet weapon did more damage.

user15026

@Ktash Yeah that would never happen

Yuuki

@Ktash Could you swap for higher energy/ammo plasma pistols? Because I don't see how that's possible on Legendary if you have to keep the exact same weapons.

murgatroid99

@Yuuki sometimes you can pass areas without fighting

Ktash

@Yuuki Luckily one of the skulls gives you infinite ammo. But it is still a pain. Without that skull, I imagine it is impossible, but the achievement is "you can't pick up any new weapons"

Yuuki

17:18

@murgatroid99 Still nigh-impossible because shotgun ammo is non-existent at best.

murgatroid99

@Yuuki If you don't fight, you don't use ammo

Also, gernades

Origami Robot

In the beginning of Two Betrayals, you use the overcharged plasma shot to take out the Sentinals and then swap it out for a plasma rifle from the first wave of Covenant.

Yuuki

@murgatroid99 Halo isn't like Deus Ex. Even if you can avoid some areas without fighting, you're still going to have to do a lot of shooting.

@OrigamiRobot You can't swap for a plasma rifle for the achievement.

Ktash

@murgatroid99 good luck taking out 3 tanks with just 4 of each kind of grenade ;)

Origami Robot

What achievement?

Yuuki

17:20

Shotguns do not come with much ammo (and you'll rarely run into any extra shotgun ammo in any given level) and plasma weapons don't have ammo pickups.

murgatroid99

@Yuuki I have the ODST achievement for completing a level on legendary without firing a shot or throwing a gernade. Sometimes it is possible

Rapitor

@Ktash punch EVERYTHING

Yuuki

@murgatroid99 ODST is a different beast.

Ktash

@murgatroid99 I've done that one. That wasn't too bad, actually

And I've done a couple levels LASO in a few halo games

but the achievement was still not pleasant. Here's a video if you want a reminder of how long it is.

Yuuki

@Ktash Did they add vehicle boarding in Halo 1 remake?

murgatroid99

17:23

@Ktash Half an hour isn't that bad for some halo achievements

Ktash

@Yuuki Nope

Yuuki

@Ktash Then ew.

Ktash

@murgatroid99 For me, it took most of a day

murgatroid99

@Ktash Oh right, dying

Ktash

and trying to 'nade spam tanks and such

There is a trick to skip the first tank and unload all the enemies in the first area, but I didn't use that

Ktash

Most of my remaining halo achievements are the really annoying ones. Like get a perfection in online matchmaking

murgatroid99

@Ktash Yeah, I have 5 remaining Halo 3 achievements, and that's one of them. They're all online

Yuuki

@murgatroid99 I hate achievements that require online.

Which is kinda why I'm hating Dark Souls 2 right now. I need an internet connection to actually get those achievements (which is friggin' stupid).

Ktash

I already missed out on the "all gestures" achievement because of that.

Ktash

An annoying one I did in Arkham Asylum but not in City is the "complete a combo using all of the moves" ... of which there are like 30 something

Origami Robot

@Yuuki What a stupid achievement.

Yuuki

@murgatroid99 Me too. I'm missing all gestures (starting up a second character for that) and the "get all sorceries/pyromancies/miracles/hexes" achievements.

Of which I'm missing maybe two or three in each category.

Which will be easy with bonfire ascetics.

murgatroid99

@Yuuki You need actual NG++ for a pyromancy and a miracle

Yuuki

@murgatroid99 Not if you do covenants.

murgatroid99

17:31

Unless you get them from the covenants

Yuuki

But ranking up in those two covenants is annoying as f---.

murgatroid99

@Yuuki I think it would be easier to just get through NG++

Yuuki

Besides, I'm close on NG++ too. Just killed Demon of Song and am about to do Velstadt.

murgatroid99

@Yuuki I'm only most of the way through NG+

Yuuki

Old Iron King was actually surprisingly annoying the second time around because I had decided to summon phantoms for that so I didn't know how to do the actual fight.

But every other boss was pretty easy.

murgatroid99

17:33

@Yuuki In NG+ I got him in a loop of smashing over and over, and I just hit him until he died

Ktash

I still need to do the limbo one too. Complete the game in one sitting with less than 5 deaths

Yuuki

@murgatroid99 Melee is easy for him if you know what you're doing.

They nerfed lightning spears into the ground though.

Which really was needed, but I'm going to miss cheesing boss fights with GLS.

murgatroid99

@Yuuki dex/str light melee with great shield

Yuuki

@murgatroid99 I lucked on Flexile Sentry because Luca refused to enter the boss fog.

And Rotten's pretty easy if you bring Lone Hunter Schmidt too.

murgatroid99

@Yuuki Yeah, that's the one she died on in NG+

Yuuki

@murgatroid99 If you're going for the achievements, add Homeward Bone to your item hotbar so you can warp out quick if they die.

murgatroid99

@Yuuki He rolled into the fire, and then she died right before I killed it

Yuuki

17:37

@murgatroid99 Oh, that's sucks.

@murgatroid99 Were you wearing the Red Eye Ring?

murgatroid99

@Yuuki no, I need to do that next time around

Yuuki

I always bring that to those boss fights so I can sorta control where they stand.

They do respectable damage so you can just tank the entire boss fight while two-handing a greatshield.

Just gotta be careful about your positioning.

@murgatroid99 Yeah, not surprised. Just didn't have time to check. Just got home from work.

@Wipqozn Right below it is the existing Twitch drama

Wipqozn

Looks like there are 3 twiutch related dramas on the front page of subredditdrama. Fantastic. So much delicious drama.

In other news, afk.

I don't know how I missed this funny or die video about Comcast, but it is perfect. Also NSFW language

Frank

Oh, it's graphics card software. And general graphics card questions are off-topic here.

Ullallulloo

@Frank Aren't game recording questions okay?

This is basically like FRAPS.

idk, it is borderline.

It's like this though.

Frank

@Ullallulloo It's in iffy territory. I googled MSI Afterburner, and it looked like graphics card tweaking software.

Which might kinda sorta allow software recording.

That question doesn't really fill me with confidence; it's got low votes and a low view count, over the space of a year.

Ullallulloo

19:18

@Frank Yeah. I've used it. It can change graphics card settings and record stuff like Fraps.

Chippies

@Frank it's an overclocking and recording software

if questions about FRAPS are okay, then this should be too

Frank

@Ullallulloo So, it's sorta a hybrid tweaker/recorder?

Chippies

@Frank yes

Frank

@Chippies Eh. FRAPS is a dedicated recording software tool. Even its inclusion is somewhat iffy.

Chippies

it started as a gpu overclocking and monitoring software, then they added ability to record video

Frank

19:20

@Chippies Its primary function is graphics card tweaking. Just because it adds functionality that can kinda sorta be used for gaming doesn't make it on-topic, in my book.

Chippies

@Frank but the question is exactly about the gaming recording functionality, not graphics card tweaking

Frank

@Chippies In software whos primary purpose isn't recording.

It's a hodgepodge of functionality.

Q: Which cards are disallowed in Naxxramas?

When attempting to use a Doomsayer against the Four Horsemen, Kel'Thuzad admonished me for being clever and destroyed the Doomsayer immediately after I played it. With which cards does Kel'Thuzad do this against which bosses? Is this the only one?

hearthstone

Chippies

plenty of people use it primarily for recording, because it's free and does a good job at it

and graphics card overclocking is primarily a gamer thing

but I don't see why that even matters, because the question is NOT about gpu tweaking

if you google "free game recording software", you will find mentions of MSI Afterburner on first page

Frank

Does this software work on any computer? Or is it locked to specific manufacturer GPUs?

Chippies

19:24

while it may have started as a gpu tweaking software, it has grown far beyond that

any computer

any windows computer

Frank

Still in iffy territory. It's not really gaming so much as straight up basic software support.

Chippies

@Frank I'm not arguing that, but if Fraps is okay, this should be too

Rapitor

After reading the question it doesn't really have to do with gaming. it's not even setting it up so it works with gaming. it's setting up the mic.

Frank

Our best fraps question has less than a thousand views, over two years.

Even our generic record stuff question has barely 4500 views in four years.

Rapitor

a rule of thumb I like to go by is: if you can take gaming completely out of the context and the question doesn't suffer. its probably off topic

Frank

19:28

That one has a ton of votes, though.

Allowable, maybe. Valuable...doesn't really seem that way.

@Rapitor Generally a good rule of thumb, when it comes to technical questions.

GnomeSlice

THE NAME WII U IS 'ABYSMAL,' FORMER NINTENDO INDIE BOSS SAYS

Rapitor

@GnomeSlice idk about that... XB1 is a pretty silly name choice and it seems to be doing ok. the Wii (when first announced) was a laughingstock and was VERY successful.

RPi Awesomeness

ugh. I am having an abysmal day

and I just noticed GnomeSlice's message. lol. Not intended

RPi Awesomeness

my main laptop has entirely died :(

and I'm stuck with my crappy iBook G4...again

@Rapitor Ah, Game Theory :D

Rapitor

game theory the best

RPi Awesomeness

is the best, or that episode is the best one?

Rapitor

not the best episode, but related to gnomes article on Wii-U failing

RPi Awesomeness

ah

Rapitor

19:46

Mario is psycho is probably my favorite theories..

or link is dead

RPi Awesomeness

Link is dead was weird

I don't think I've seen physco mario yet though...huh

Powerlord

@RPiAwesomeness And yet, it makes a twisted sort of sense.

Rapitor

@Powerlord thats what GT does best

RPi Awesomeness

Q: Minecraft animals

I play minecraft pe with the 0.9.0 update. I made a barn and I have many animals inside but I have not finished the roof. I dont know if they will live or not without sun, or trapped in a building. Can I keep them inside a barn with a roof or will I need glass so there is some sunlight?
