GOG version or steam? GOG works a bit better afaik.

I will have to try the good version. I've tried steam and original CD.

*High quality effort post*

It was marvellous, but definitely of a very specific era.

But that's exactly why it was good. In terms of xwa, the mission development and change of pace made the game actually fun. No go here do x mission complete.

"Here pilot, we're pirating this convoy on behalf of the rebellion, with some pirate dudes to help. Oh poo poo, they're shooting the civilians, mission scrub, new mission kill all your former friends before they kill the civvies."

It was loving great.

The family missions interspersed with the rebellion missions made the game feel so much more alive too. Slower paced, and more explorative of some of the games mechanics.

Go to the XWA upgrade site, you'll find the fix you need it also fixes things the font being wonky as standard instead of twiddling it yourself.

Now I have to go and buy a new hotas before trying to set it all up again. The top gun fox 2 pro I inherited from my father when he gave up gaming now longer works as it used to, it lists lazily to the right. Suggestions for good hotas that will not break bank?

I'm running the version from Steam on a Xeon E3-1245v2 just fine.

Lucky bastard!

Right. I didn't pick up on that. You could have messaged me, and I would have just kept my mouth shut and hope he did

Derek baby, you just don't understand belt digestion. Also, have never used the messaging side of the forum, have no idea how it works or where to even access it from?

Additionally, MoMA, eat your loving belt.

Good, because AAA gaming is a meaningless term anyways.

In TIE Fighter and later games (I don't think re-supplies existed in X-Wing?), you'd hit shift-B to call a tug to slowboat over to you and re-arm you for free. It took some time for it to arrive, so I remember doing stupid things like calling it well before I needed it, sending it away and repeating the board rearm command so it was ready to go asap.

The X-Wing/TIE hotkeys are permanently etched into my memory. I'm pretty sure by the time I'm riddled with dementia I'll still know how to transfer weapon energy to shields.

If you shot torpedoes during the reloading process, they would continue to get reloaded while you were docked. Easy way to ripple off 50 warheads. I think the heavy rockets were my favorite, just for the ka-CHUNK sound when they fired.

Page 2500 Vic's Mom Tribute

I kind of had a bit of a hiatus as a teenager from computers, uhm� and uh� in COLLEGE I obsessively played DOOM, with another girlfriend of mine who uhm� she was doing a PHYSICS MAJOR, and we just used to go crazy over that, I mean it just, it just takes up so much of your life�

you know, like� I would say like 6PM til probably 5AM, five days a week

Uhm, ah, it was� it� it� it was in INTERNATIONAL MARKETING� uhm� ah, moving in to� uhm� Australia moving in to the Asian markets. Uhm. At the time� uhh� and vice versa we had a lot of infux of China into Australia at that point� and I think we actually, uhm� *tch*� implemented like� NEW VISAS AND STUFF� I� I� think� ah, uh� I don�t know� I�ve been GONE so long I don�t know what it is now, but uhm� yeah it was basically in INTERNATIONAL MARKETING

Well I�ve known Chris for a long time, I�ve known him since I first, uh� even when I was studying at UCLA, I knew Chris, uhm... and I remember the first time meeting him, on a FILM aspect, I just was like, wow� you are� I mean� his� gaming� I mean he� I�m seeing somebody, I mean I�d a lot� frien� like I said my girlfriend was a major in PHYSICS, they did all sorts of� crazy� FORMULA� and all this sorts of stuff and� CHRIS CODING is like� I mean the guy�s pretty brilliant, it�s quite IMPRESSIVE�

Everybody was like speechless, I was like, oh my god is this not what you do, I was like, so� I had NO IDEA, so then when I sat down and everybody was like �OK that was interesting� , everybody else had done like this POWERPOINT PRESENTATION and like PIE CHAT� PIE CHARTS and� GRAPHS� I was like oh, man�
And then I applied at UCLA, uhm� *tch*� for uh� to do the last part of it cos I was interested in� ENTERTAINMENT , so�

I love everything about that interview. The hosts were just eating it up too. How anyone can reconcile the fact that the person who said this is a VP at a $160 million company is beyond me. Though I suppose the fact that she�s this dumb means there are others equally as thumb, I mean dumb so...Ok makes sense :haw:

Wait, a major major issue.. is not being able to use a bar in the UI

I'm pretty sure if I sat down and took a few online courses on how to make a UI, I could figure out HOW TO MAKE A DROP DOWN BAR CLICKABLE

Sorry I went minor Pgabz for a second there

But these people are frustrationally infuritating at their incompetance

And moreso the CEO and supposed wunderkin of coding is sitting there going 'But HOW do I know it's the filter bar?'

Painting silk is tricky but not impossible. Pick the colours, get a decent cut of white silk and go to town. Then cut it, finish the edges and have your own octopuss scarf for wrapping around things.
