19:23

@arda Yes

@KevinvanderVelden Yes this

SaintWacko

Is that like an inline function?

arda

@SaintWacko yeah

Kevin van der Velden

Server is probably in global scope isn't it?

SaintWacko

I believe so

It's from github.com/esp8266/Arduino/tree/master/libraries/…

Kevin van der Velden

arda

@SaintWacko yay esp8266

So a couple of days ago I bought Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. I installed it, played for some time. Then I opened Skyrim, suddenly all the textures were f***ed up (looked detailess and white).

Q: Does skill matter in Hearthstone? (pay-to-win cards)

When I first started playing Hearthstone, naturally I noticed different skill levels among the players, but it seemed almost irrelevant because of the pay-to-win cards. Even though I was obviously a much better player than most of my opponents, they would kill me if they had the pay-to-win cards....

@TimStone I don't really care, but it's funny

Tim Stone

19:53

They just pulled it out and bailed and didn't notice she lost a decent amount of spinal fluid, so she got a spinal headache and it became excruciating before she had to go in for a blood patch

djsmiley2k

Ah D:

I've never heard of that before :/

Tho post-natal psychosis sounds kinda fun

Tim Stone

Partly her fault because she was like "I'll drink some caffeine and I'm sure it'll be fineeee"

@Hakase check pcgamingwiki of both

also hi hak

Hakase

most reviews are from march/april so idk if those concerns have been addressed and fixed

@Hakase iirc the advice is usually to just buy the originals and get a certain patch, let me do a quick check

pcgamingwiki is likely to show if any patch etc is needed or it has bugs or whatever

Would Mespirit respawn if I beat the elite 4 again? I saved my progress after he died and he's not showing up in nameless cave at all.

pokemon-oras

Hakase

well I have a fullhd monitor and the enhanced edition seems to support high resolutions so I guess it's better at least in that aspect

Mad Scientist

There are a lot of mods for the original version, and the enhanced edition incorporates many of them, from what I understand. But I never played the enhanced edition, I played the original Baldur's gate II when it came out

Personally, I never could really get into Baldur's Gate I, but I found the second one to be a great game

Wipqozn

Actually sounds like EE is a good buy, @Hakase

There were bugs on release but I guess they fixed'em

reddit.com/r/baldursgate/comments/3hge2u/…

reddit.com/r/baldursgate/comments/4j2d7u/…

reddit.com/r/baldursgate/comments/4jka8x/enhanced_vs_original

Hakase

ok now I see there are at least 2 installations of the game and both have an enhanced edition

I'm super new to this, so recommendations welcome

Mad Scientist

The higher resolutions is a community mod from what I understand

Wipqozn

21:50

@MadScientist yeah I guess EE incorporated a few community mods

I still need to play through the BG games.

I'd likely just play through 2, since I hear it's the best one, and I doubit I'd make time to play through all of them

Hakase

people are saying the enhanced editions make characters look cartoony and there are some other things that stray from the original style and make it look worse

anyone know anything about that?

Mad Scientist

The modding process was rather elaborate as far as I remember and took forever

Wipqozn

@Hakase Nope, sorryh, although I did see a few comments about it

Hakase

I guess I want the best version, but I also don't wanna hate it when I finish setting it up :/

Wipqozn

Honestly if you're concerned with it not sticking 100% to the original, just go with the original with mods would be my advice.

Mad Scientist

21:52

EE has a new area or campaign or something like that. This could refer to that part

Wipqozn

Also, honestly, it sounds like you can't go wrong with either verison

oh I wonder of @LessPop_MoreFizz exists. Those games are his jam.

Hakase

ok then, enhanced it is, but which part tho

Wipqozn

@LessPop_MoreFizz see @Hakase stuggle on baldgurs gate original vs ee

the best thing about getting Tropico 4 free from Humble is that 5% of my $0 goes to support the Wikimedia Foundation.

Hakase

21:56

I wanted to check that out too

and shadowruns

Mad Scientist

I'd go with BG2, but I don't think most BG fans share my opinion there

Hakase

I'm not a fan so I'll take the second one

LessPop_MoreFizz

There is no reason not to play the enhanced editions unless you have specific loyalties to the originals.

The effort:reward is completely not worth it for a newbie

Also BG and BG2, especially with the EE's really play as one continuous game.
