10:00 PM

would you recommend only one or are both equally good and worth playing through?

The EE (or the elaborate complicated modding process) mainly exists to do two things; one is modern resolutions. The other is back porting all of BG2's gameplay improvements on to BG1 to make for a smoother mor coherent experience.

They really are a single game in two installments with the enhanced editions.

ok then

guess I'll start with the first one

thanks for explaining

LessPop_MoreFizz

The other thing the EE's add is a few new companion NPC's you can recruit. They're... Fine. Whatever. They don't matter much and the impact is minimal. Some purists like to have a thing to whine about.

And now I wish away once again.

Let there be no untouched crevasses.

@LessPop_MoreFizz I knew you'd offer some puppet sage advice

@Sterno Whenever I do get around to play Baldurs Gate I'll make sure to check with you if it's a good time first, since I'm sure if I play it you'll wind up doing it too

10:06 PM

ok I've looked at ui comapisons and these reviews seem to exaggerate a lot

thanks everyone for helping me

you're a nice bunch

I'll be playing games now, see ya next time!

@Hakase I better issue out some arbitrary bans before we get a good reputation

someone's firing fireworks... it is 1am. That's just rude.

@ster also the second mission of thief took me close to 1 and a half hours

man OBS just does not want to capture thief 2

Q: How is it that you play Overwatch for free for a limited time?

On Australian Pay TV (i'm with Austar) there's been an ad running showing clips of the animated Overwatch character episodes advertising that you can play Overwatch for free for a limited time (i don't recall the period but it's this month) and at the end of the ad showing the PS4 and X-Box One g...

this is friggen weird

It just will not capture thief 2

like I even did display caoture,and it sees my second screen just fine, but when I boot up thief 2 it goes black

10:20 PM

On a game capture or a window capture

Nice

Yesterday I checked flight prices for a flight between YYZ and ATL for my November adventure. Yesterday, it was $544. Today I checked (because I can book it now) and it is $712. HOW DOES THAT EVEN

user15026

@GnomeSlice I don't think I have ever gotten one of those floating castle things. I'm not that good.

@Unionhawk I tired window capture, game capture, and display capture. Window captures doesn't even see thief 2.

Might try using classic?

10:24 PM

Possible

It really does just not want @Unionhawk to be happy

It's ok, I got you covered

Gah

user image

peaceful map is so small

but the bears are really annoying

Well that exploded quickly

Anyway @Wipqozn, if you go to your chat and type /host Unionhawk, it'll look like you're streaming TWW and nobody will notice

Now live with TWW

oh man @Unionhawk is playing the best 3D Zelda Game

OH THAT MUSIC

10:28 PM

@GnomeSlice what's the game

@Ash ouch :(

user15026

@arda I just can't believe it changed that much, it's crazy.

@Ash try calling the airlines asking why it changed so much, maybe they can help

user15026

It's funniest because yesterday I was still waiting on confirmation of some details so I couldn't book it. Today I can, and BAM, the price change.

user15026

I mean I'm not opposed to finding a different combo of flights if that is what it comes to, but it just amazes me.

@Ash they can change in as little as 15 minutes

10:32 PM

NASA Video : Earth From Space Real Footage - Video From The International Space Station ISS

long story short, it is algorithms to maximize the $$ the airline makes for the flight based on minute changes in demand

user15026

@GodEmperorDune It makes me want to stab something in the eye with a dull fork

Use incognito when looking at them, because they can tell if you've looked before and raise the price.

@Ash dull fork is an addon to the premium in-flight meal package for the low low price of $39.95

user15026

@Ronan Yeah, I am going to scrub a browser session down tonight and use that to look.

user15026

10:38 PM

@GodEmperorDune I found an answer on Travel.SE explaining how flight prices work and I am just like dear god nope why

Wipqozn : http://m4sv.com/page/wii-u-gcn-usb-driver

I can't belive I'm watching @Unionhawk instead of playing Thief 2

@Ash it's like travelling salesman plus a whole lot of junk on top

user15026

It's baffling.

user15026

I mean I am sure I can find something cheaper or different or whatever that works

@Wipqozn That's because you fear it.

10:47 PM

@Sterno Your mom fears it

Just like your dad

Thieves Guild mission wasn't really that confusing, but it wasn't very fun and felt unpolished.

Like, these big houses you can only get in through the sewer

@Sterno It was unpolished. The 3 levels in gold were levels cut from thief 1. My guess is that didn't bother finishing them, and tossed them into gold

Real call I received from a friend right now ( + it is 1:44am): "Hey arda, I downloaded a bunch of games and it says that pc storage is full, what should I do? Should I just move everything from C to D?"

@ster this mission, on expert, requires me to not knock anyone out

iirc we bought a wd black 2tb 7200rpm hdd for him and he only plays 2 games (league and csgo), no idea how he managed to fill it

ah, we bought him a 1tb 7200rpm wd blue

10:54 PM

Goddammit

@Unionhawk lolololol

White ring of death?

@Wipqozn TIME TO MAN UP, NANCY

You should be streaming

41 mins ago, by Wipqozn

@Unionhawk I tired window capture, game capture, and display capture. Window captures doesn't even see thief 2.

I blame @Wipqozn

Q: Is there a way to deposit caps?

I currently have 87,621 caps on me. With the Nuka World DLC, the addition of the Scav! magazines give you some special abilities. One of the magazines give you more strength and endurance based upon the number of caps you have. The bonuses are: +1 Strength & +1 Endurance if you have <= 10,000...

@Wipqozn Did you mod it?

@Sterno yes, same with thief 1. That might be causing some trouble.

Tafferpatcher?

Got the "make this game work on not shit reoslutions" mod

@Sterno yeah

gamejolt gets game recommendations

11:16 PM

Getting the HD mod. 1.3 GB

@Sterno you moving onto thief 2?

@Wipqozn No, I was just going to see if streaming worked for me but now I've got to install all these mods

Tropico 4 is free on Humble Store for 2 days - humblebundle.com/store/tropico-4-free-game

@PrivatePansy tropico 4 is a great game

Oh, that was some other mod that was 1.3GB. More missions or something. Bah

11:21 PM

i posted that earlier too but more visibility = better

I'm basically doing all this crap

@Sterno I just did the taffer

@arda Gave it a star. That should be good

make sure to support the devs by buying the DLCs btw, they make the game much more fun

@Wipqozn Real gamers mod their games until they can't launch anymore

7

11:26 PM

@Sterno *their 4xgtx1080 sli can't run it over 3 fps anymore

is 4x1080 even possible btw? I think that I heard that limit was 2 but not sure

I stopped doing SLI because half the games didn't support it and the other half seemed to run worse with it

sli really helps with cuda stuff, but games aren't that well optimized for it usually

@Wipqozn Doesn't stream for me either. HD looks really nice

@Sterno WEll that's good to know, thanks for testing. I'll need to isntall the HD mod too.

@Sterno this don't knock out quest is prettyg good

it takes place in a police station

Zeus damn it @Unionhawk I was going to watch you while I waited for the mod to isntall

11:44 PM

hahahaha.gif

Hang on

There

@Unionhawk It's too late

Totally me streaming

It literally just finished

Oh

You failed me @Unionhawk

11:46 PM

Well

@Wipqozn I remember really liking that one

> The designers stated that unlike the original game, whose levels were developed to suit the plot, in Thief II the levels were designed first and the plot retrofitted to work with them. In general, the levels are much larger and less linear than those of its predecessor.

Oh good a US firm has bought Formula 1 /cc @badp
