    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    As silly as it is to use floating point numbers in that way, never stop trying new things and using new constructs in different ways. A lot of programmers get stagnant and stop learning because once they learn enough tools to solve the problems they have they stop learning new tools. And they...

    Keep plot spoilersi n spoiler tags until Dec 10th's please. I haven't been strong on moderation because I've been mostly skimming the offending posts. As much as I don't want to make the game easier, is anyone working on a mod to make critical hits useful outside VATS? (ex: how they...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    It's interesting from a financing point of view. And from a developer motivation point of view. And from a gamer's pov too. It will have an affect on crowdfunding even if it's more minor than people think. People are saying that if it fails completely it'll kill crowdfunding games but that's...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    I generally agree with sylas but also think they are doing some innovative things. Their ship damage model, for example. The 2.0 alpha is in press ve because it is a substantial proof that they are moving forward. Is it a justification of the time and money spent? No. But it is substantial.

    Nobody is trolling here. Arguing about it won't do much good. SC doesn't have much to show right now, but they have a lot of legitimate excuses for why not. They are taking a very ambitious approach toward a lot of their game mechanics, which I think is a mistake but is still a legitimate excuse.

    I'm not sure what you mean, but I think that unlike other MMO PvP games this game will absolutely need compelling gameplay in order to sustain a playerbase. In other MMO PVP games we'll get abused by any kind of game mechanic just to compete with our fellow players and win. But after that...

    It'd either work like: A: watching action figures fight on your desk B: Watching fighters fight in a ring/cage C: Watching dudes fight in a hallway. My guess is A. Competitively, I don't think it'll be as big of a hit because I can't imagine players being better using VR instead of a...

    Fallout 4

    The way I think it works: 1. When in VATS in each frame the numbers are populated each frame via some gaussian blur + a ray tracing system. In other words, the accuracy of your weapon emits a cone of different dispersion levels projecting toward the enemie's body part. The chance of success is...

    that's funny. Vanish is typically the end-game stealth ability that makes stealth really OP since it takes it from an initiator enabler to a sustained tactile attack ability. I have a lot of found memories playing baldur's gate where I'd sneak attack, hide behind a doorway, tree, building...

    newspaper bitch is easy if she's with you since she increments on lock pick. codsworth I got by just having him near me whenever I upgraded weapons. Macready was the biggest pain so far. I don't think it'd be possible for me to get his perk by playing normally (which is okay by me). I...

    Nice. I posted about that earlier and just removed the ability completely from my character via console. Given that I had to suck up my NedStark honor and steal everything in two cities to get that perk I'm glad I can get it back in with a mod.

    Fallout 4

    While I understand the general complaint of voice acting increases cost which means fewer and shorter lines must be used, I don't think that's a limitation to meaningful and entertaining dialog. It's just a limitation on overly verbose dialog. And in games like Dragon Age: Inquisition where...

    The 970 FTW+ card has a serious memory problem that the other ones don't. Basically after a few days of playing it will be unplayable and you'll have to reinstall FO4 to fix it (every few days). It's a low-level firmware problem that can't be fixed without RMAing the card once they fix it on...

    Fallout 4

    The reason I say hire more writers is that I am assuming the poor quality of writing is simply due to the volume of writing that Bethesda has to make for their games and how they generally talk about how small of a team they have relative to other AAA games. Kedwyn rightfully commented...

    Not really. Like was said earlier the only games that attempts the same level of scope as Bethesda games is GTA/Witcher3. Rockstar generally has higher quality and bug free releases (at least on consoles) so if they released one with a lot of bugs it would be a surprise. Same as if the next GTA...

    hacking and picking is easier in FO4 than NV.... or maybe I had mods to make them harder in NV or something, haha. That's the problem with me si that my most recent playthroughs of FO3 and NV were modded to the gills so the comparison is biased. Even at level 40 or whatever in NV (basically...

    Sorry for being a little loose, I was more talking about what seems like a massive nerf in the apparent VATS DT relative to FO3. Have either of you used melee in VATS (which is what I was talking about). Since I last talked about VATS my character got dramatically better and now VATS is...

    It might not be nearly as useful, but I think melee with reduced VATS gear and a reduced VATS weapon would be extremely powerful since they don't consume ammunition. That's balanced by the fact that VATS sucks now though, lol. If you had infinite VATS with melee I still think you'd die against...

    That's what was nice about Skyrim is those task-quests were clearly labeled as tasks and you could ignore them without feeling like you're skipping critical content. Vorph, re: the merchants, I feel like the whole merchant + charisma + settlement thing would make more sense if there were...
