Ugly In The Morning posted:Man, I haven’t dealt with a game with a memory leak in about a decade. How do they gently caress that up? Chances are very good that you have in fact dealt with a memory leak much more recently than that but they can vary pretty massively in severity. They're also super easy to make and super hard to fix and PGI is a rather fly-by-night studio at the best of times so.

MW5 just dumps you to desktop with a message that it ran out lol The bug where I got a billion dollars so I could just buy whatever was much nicer. Who cares my pilot got cored out? I'm Richie Rich, I'll buy more friends! It's not like I'm in a hurry to avenge my dad or whatever

Xaris posted:That's totally fair, KZ probably is a "sale" game because it is really short for it's price, but I found every second potent and fun to play If you like the writing and aesthetic of the shadowrun games but don't like the gameplay, I will say that all of them have built-in cheats so that you can just play them like cyberpunk visual novels, essentially, with intermittent sessions where you click on people to one-shot them with machine guns (or spells or robots or whatever type of character you decide to play as). This will make the games either much more or much less satisfying depending on exactly what it is you're looking for out of the experience but it's an option

True, and the first thing I do with a new computer these days is jam 32 GB of RAM in there so I’m less likely to notice.

That's not likely to change anytime soon either because the forthcoming consoles only have 16GB.

Ghostlight posted:Despite being quite despondent at losing my truck in Hydroneer I decided to load it back up and just gently caress around rather than start a new game. Through a combination of Recall Nearest Vehicle (teleport to nearest vehicle) and Unstuck (teleport player/vehicle to a free space at ground level) menu options I managed to successfully exploit the fact that it only had physics applied to it while I was in it by timing my exit to the split second it was near the ground instead of barrel rolling through the air and reach inside the mud guard to retrieve the machinery I had accidentally placed inside it, restoring gravity to the truck. Just to follow on the Hydroneer talk, so it isn't all "the physics are janky" and "I'm digging mud with a shovel," here's an example of a gold mining factory some dude made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrIRdHLdiFo (he throws the on switch on everything about 2 minutes in)

ZearothK posted:Oh, I missed that update, the pre-release one was rather grim in perspective, good thing they've managed to turn a profit! Albus is there to basically sit in front of entire groups of melee enemies taking no damage and countering them to death. Retaliation is one hell of a drug and you can stack his dodge really effectively. I still haven't quite figured out how to use Irene effectively, personally. She's very hard to kill but it also feels like she doesn't do enough damage. Maybe I need to grind out some fire related masteries somewhere.

If you're getting a new computer, 16GB of RAM seems to be the minimum these days. Keep in mind that the new console generation will have a baseline of 16GB of RAM. Make sure you leave yourself soom room on the motherboard to plug in an additional 16GB for a total of 32GB if the need arises.

I'm probably going to buy LiS2 as soon as I finish that. I know Telltale ate poo poo with their rapid expansions and license grabbing but Dontnod struck gold and I can't imagine them not making LiS into a continuing franchise or possibly expanding the original game out more. i really appreciated that in LIS you had magical time bending powers but in LIS:BTS your super power was being the most seventeen year old teen on the planet

I have a NAS mounted and just move games to it via the "Move Game Files" feature. It's a little slower than local but most games fit into RAM anyway. And Valve has fixed the NFS bugs as far as I can tell, so some stuff permamently lives there. At some point I may have to buy new disks for the NAS though. Like those 12TB helium drives…

I think for her it is best to stack attack or ESP's masteries instead of mixing them up, as she can either equip a weapon or a magical bracelet, so the opposite one will be low anyway. I am finding her Battle Mage subclass to have more meaningful damage than the Martial Artist so far. What personal mastery are you using for her? Justice is a flat 20% extra damage against criminal organization members, which are honestly what you fight the most of; Explosive Red Panda Formula will alpha-strike most enemies in the game during overcharge, so it's an excellent to make her a boss killer. I haven't really tried Lonely Hero. I just wish I could get that damned Phoenix mastery drop. Also, I realized while playing yesterday that the food you can buy actually gives meaningful bonuses if you order certain sets. Try ordering a Hot Milk + Savory Salad + Savory Sandwich for a defense buff and Cool Sparkling Water + Fresh Juice + Cool Beer for speed. This is also how I found out the game won't serve alcohol to Anne Macy because she's a teenager.

I'm at a point where I should be debating making a mega mine like that in a new plot but I can't fathom making the move at this point so this is probably going on the back burner to see if they simplify ploppable shopping in the future. It's got me looking at that Discovery gold mining (maybe not) shovelware game of all things that is conspicuously on sale if anyone wants to talk me into or out of bucket digger the game.

I haven't really tried Lonely Hero. She's supposed to be your Scout-tank. Switch her personal mastery to Lonely Hero and send her out ahead of the rest of your team. Read the bonuses, they're big and she gets a mastery that adds on to being a Hero.
