That sounds rough. You're off the tracks for so long? Damn. Is that "wound" so deep or what's the reason? Anyway, get well soon, man.

Yeah pretty much can't do anything physical. Crohn's disease is really weird and very little is understood about it, but it's pretty much anywhere in you digestive tact (from mouth to anus (lol)) can have weird immune responses, swell up or essentially tear itself apart. Fistulation is also common, where tunnels develop from somewhere in the tract that has these weird responses and pierces random tissues or organs. The wound is really deep and they don't stitch it, they leave it open and stuff it with a packing material to force healing to occur from the inside in order to prevent the issue recurring. The first few weeks of changing that daily, are ridiculously painful, but its gotta be done unfortunately. And thanks again

This is sad.

I don't have a lot of cash coming in right now and I really need to watch my spending. I know that if I pick up FF XIII at launch, it'll probably sit in my backlog for months before I get around to playing it. If I wait, it'll end up going on sale sooner rather than later. I know this. There's also the Winter Seal to think about.

So why am I sitting here idling cards and thinking things like, "If I can bring down the price to $5 with card money, that's not so bad, right?" and "If there's a lot of day one sales, Square will see there's a demand for stuff like this on PC, so maybe I ought to do it to show support"?

I have a problem, don't I? : (

I'm in the same boat. I should be watching my spending but there's so many good games coming out right around this time. Between preorders and purchases I'm probably spending way more than I should lately.

Anyone that wants to play as a mage pretty much needs to download mods to not be completely gimped.

What mods do you have in mind? Besides visual enhancements and Immersive Armors and Weapons i really only use SkyUI and this one Favorite Menu Mod (quickly switching between spells would be a nightmare otherwise). I don't really want mods that would screw with the balance of the game.

I think this is a somewhat disingenuous and pejorative dismissal. Destiny does have its fair share of flaws and questionable design decisions but the core gameplay--the gunplay and moment to moment combat design--does have some merit. For my money I'd say Destiny is kind of in a similar position to Diablo 3 vanilla. With some serious iterating and substantive patches Destiny could be made into a better gameplay experience just like Diablo 3 was with Loot 2.0. But much like Diablo 3 I don't think there's any saving the narrative experience.
Click to expand...

I was just responding to someone who was talking about how much traction the Destiny threads have. From what i played of Destiny, it's core is competent and its art direction is second to none. It's just the part where everything else is half baked and poorly thought out, along with it apparently being thin on content that kinda stinks.

Doesn't change what i think of bungie/halo fanboys, though. Those folks give the force.net people a run for their money.

Good point, I was overgeneralizing about the maximum available output resolution of a PS1.

Turns out that all three PS1 era Final Fantasy games were rendered in 320 x 224.
Click to expand...
To be fair it's easy to get confused thanks to the TVs we used back then, I only remember because in retrospective the fact that the N64 Expansion Pak enabled "High Resolution" modes which were only 640x480 is totally hilarious.

Yeah, that one! I knew it wasn't exactly 320x240, couldn't remember exactly which one it was :)

PunishedSnake said:
Ps2 was 640x480, right?
Click to expand...
PSX, N64 and Saturn supported it too, but few games used it (VF2 ran an insane resolution for the time for example) due to lack horsepower or willingness to push the systems.

For anyone who wants to (try to) up their Avg. Game Completion Rate stat on their Steam profile, should consider The Room ( http://store.steampowered.com/app/288160 ).
(Mine went up from 32% to 33%)

It's a short puzzle game where you have to open boxes via all sorts of mechanics.
There are only 5 chapters and each chapter gives you an achievement.
Difficulty: it's not too hard. It's a port of a smartphone game so as you can imagine they don't make it mindblowing hard so that you would have to consult walkthroughs.

Edit: and as one can see, it has cards.

At € 4.99 it's perhaps a bit overpriced at the moment, but I'm just putting the word out.

Good to know. As someone with little time to play, games like this are a blessing at the office.

I was playing another two that are relatively easy to clear: Pixel Puzzles Japan and Bardbarian. Although the latter took me a bit to figure out how to clear the final boss on insane. It's not too hard.

This is the one I used:
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/2275

You can read what it does in the main page.

Overall it makes your skill more important, dual casting interesting (in vanilla it's almost detrimental) and mana cost is more balanced.

I dunno, the Eidos and such side of things has been pretty well done overall recently I'd say. If Square were a smart company, then they'd be using those people who worked on the ports of stuff like Sleeping Dogs to assist with this. But that relies on Square being smart, so fuck knows.
