| Sahuagin 08/25/20 11:26:27 PM #2 | if you watch Skeptic, Shoe and Aron Ra, I assume that must mean you watch tf00t, so you probably are already well versed in how impractical it is you would think that before you built one *that* long, you'd build a much shorter one first. (and that you'd only hire a company that has actually successfully done this before as well.) let's see one go to airdrie or strathmore first. --- |
| Topic | What are your rarest Steam achievements? |
| Sahuagin 08/25/20 11:17:54 PM #22 | in Endless Space 2, fully deplete 3 captured planets as Cravers (0.7%) beat Pillars of Eternity on Expert (0.8%) Stellaris, build a Mega-Art installation in a nebula (0.9%) Dungeon of the Endless, "beat" Drill Pod, Sanitary Pod, and Refreezerator Pod (each 1%) Stellaris, I think a lot of people have bought it, but not played it much, so a lot of the achievements are relatively easy to get with pretty low percentages. beating PoE on Expert is probably the only slightly impressive one. maybe "beating" Drill Pod too, but mostly due to patience. (drill pod goes forever, you get the achievement for making it to the 24th floor.) --- |

No thanks.yeah, for some reason my university has 200 as 1st year, 300 as second year, etc. I just meant, 4th year courses already tend to have that stuff, and courses above that (grad courses) have huge amounts of it by default it seems. but yes, literally one per week is worse still. --- |
| Topic | I was just looking at the syllabus for one of my courses this semester and |
| Sahuagin 08/22/20 12:16:38 AM #12 | EclairReturns posted... For me, only one or two fourth-year undergraduate courses were like that; one of them was my senior seminar class. Every other course I took in this level followed the usual homework and test format.there was one "level 4" class that didn't have something like that. I survived by taking that one class, and then also applying to take a 2-semester long systems administration class, so I ended up only having to survive one of them instead of two of them (and I already basically work as a sysadmin so it was otherwise an "easy" course). --- |

| Topic | Any suggestions for software that checks for old drivers and updates them? |
| Sahuagin 08/21/20 11:40:37 PM #7 | just get your motherboard make and model number and then look it up and there will be a bunch of drivers for it on the manufacturer's website. those will be some of the more important ones. probably the only other really important one would be the video card driver, but that will have new versions all the time. --- |

| Topic | Magic as a weapon is kinda dumb in fiction... |
| Sahuagin 08/19/20 8:29:17 PM #50 | Lokarin posted... That's one MIGHTY spell...it would be OPd without the save. the save means that most of the time it doesn't last very long. in order to get full damage, the target has to miss a save each round, which add up fast, making it very unlikely to last a long time. But how is it cast? Do you have to throw a sprig of fireblossom or some weirdness like that at them or do you just point and will it?as a level 4 spell it has a casting time of 4. in infinity engine games this means that you have to cast it for, IIRC, 40% of a 6 second round, and it fires at the end of that time. (so it has a casting time of 2.4 seconds, requiring a manual and verbal component, which just means you can't cast it if paralyzed or muted.) also, note that this is an Icewind Dale spell, which has a lot of "do a lot of damage" spells in contrast to BG where it's almost all utility spells with only a few "do damage" spells here and there. (IWD is kind of a hack-and-slash game, and is all about carving your way through hordes of enemies, just with much richer mechanics than most games of that kind.) the range is also listed as "visual range"; sometimes I think that means that if you have some way of having long-range vision you can theoretically cast it on someone miles away, though not sure if it always works out that way. --- |

| Topic | Magic as a weapon is kinda dumb in fiction... |
| Sahuagin 08/19/20 7:03:54 PM #47 | Lokarin posted... At its lowest damage it even is an almost confirmed kill on anyone with only a d4 HDit's 3d4 (3-12) (7.5 avg) per round per 2 levels of the caster. it's a level 4 spell, so only a level 7+ mage can cast it. at that level they'd get, I think, 3 rounds of damage, so 9-36 (22.5avg) total, if not saved (or 0-0, 3-12, 6-24, or 9-36 total, depending when it's saved, at lowest level). a level 20 mage would get 10 rounds, so up to 30-120 (75avg) damage if not saved. (actually... I'm not 100% sure if a save stops it, or if you have to save each round. I think a save stops it.) --- |

| Sahuagin 08/19/20 6:45:21 PM #43 | ParanoidObsessive posted... I want to snap my fingers and make someone's blood boil in their own veins. Beltyn's Burning Blood This spell turns a target's blood to flame, doing 3d4 Hit Points of damage every round and driving the victim berserk with pain. The target gets to save vs. Spell every round; if successful, the damage and berserk state are negated. This spell does not work against undead or extraplanar creatures that do not have blood (such as elementals). If the creature is resistant to fire, this resistance will lower or nullify the damage from this spell. also, there isn't actually anything all that similar about conjuring a fireball VS boiling someone's blood. maybe if you have total "heat and fire manipulation" ability, but that's not the same thing as an average fire spell. --- |

| Topic | There are actually people on Amazon bidding against each other for a bag of chip |
| Sahuagin 08/19/20 2:40:34 AM #12 | various things: - there are often severely over-priced items on these kinds of online stores that have many different third-party sellers (similar to a WoW auction house or something). this happens on Wal-Mart store, maybe NewEgg (though now that I think of it I don't recall any), and on Amazon. - this is a case of 64 bags of chips. you're paying ~$3.32 per bag. I think that might still be a lousy deal since these are small bags of chips. - I'm pretty sure there is no bidding involved here. (let me know if I'm wrong since that'd be interesting.) - not 100% sure, but I think in some cases reviews for similar items can be merged together into the same stream. so often you'll see reviews for "chips" but not necessary that size or flavor or whatever. --- |

| Topic | My kitten died |
| Sahuagin 08/19/20 12:30:17 AM #26 | if I recall, this happened to a friend of mine ('s mother) a long time ago I think it was a small dog, but can't remember which one. when she had the minivan warming, it decided to nap behind the rear tire in the warmth of the exhaust. and then, when she backed out... but OP says the cat ran out <strike>in front of him</strike> under him in the driveway, which sounds a lot more avoidable. (not saying he is or isn't at fault; just what it sounds like. I can't say anything for sure based on a message on a message board.) --- |

| Topic | free nintendo games...? |
| Sahuagin 08/18/20 10:51:30 PM #1 | so... my nephew showed me this site that I'm not sure I'm allowed to mention. something like arcadiastop, but definitely not that. you seem to be able to legit play a huge number of SNES games, N64 games, and more, in your browser. so far every last game I've searched for is there and playable; some of the games I thought I'd never get to play, or never get to play again. my question is, does everyone already know about this? how legit is it, or isn't it? why hasn't this been crushed already? I haven't been able to find anyone asking this question, or saying anything good or bad about it, aside from an occasional "you can play that game <here>.", "thanks!". --- |

| Sahuagin 08/18/20 12:09:01 AM #6 | I'm just terrified that I'll turn out to be wrong about the racing thing. I didn't triple check it or anything it's just sort of what the wiki said and sounded familiar. otherwise, hope you enjoy the game. it's not bad, and definitely has some fun parts, but is notorious for one thing in particular. for the id games not running, usually a video card driver update fixes it (vendors often release updates that fix or optimize issues with newly released games), though it's a bit of a pain in the ass to do. --- |

| Topic | Magic as a weapon is kinda dumb in fiction... |
| Sahuagin 08/13/20 5:58:36 PM #17 | this is why I really liked mages in the BG games, versus how they are in other games, even IWD and especially in WoW. in WoW, a "mage" is little more than a guy who throws elements at you and also is hard to hit in BG2, the amount of "throw element at target" abilities are relatively low and only moderately effective, and instead you have an extreme number of utility spells that can make you completely invulnerable many times over if used correctly. (and while I do like that, it could maybe also have used a little more KABOOM as well. early game, fireball will annihilate almost anything, but you can only use it once before resting. late game, even with things like meteor strike and dragon breath, while they can do a lot of damage in the right situation, against anyone you would want to damage that much, there's probably a long list of immunities that make them almost useless.) --- |
