Re: First computer-related job?

Posted on Today, 16:24

My first computer-related job was "programming" alarm panels over a modem at a security company. That was a very hectic, frustrating job, because the guy who trained me had some kind of mental breakdown and quit soon after I started, and so it was just me having to handle requests from 5-6 alarm …

I've got the Geneforge games on my wishlist, but after my experience with Avernum: Escape from the Pit, I've been hesitant to try any other Spiderweb games. Your posts encourage me to keep them on my wishlist and eventually try them out. I know you didn't care for Avernum, but the Geneforge series …

Geneforge 2 I've been getting pretty addicted to this one, similar to how I got addicted to the first game in the series last year. I've ended up putting a good 8 hours into it over the last week, while also playing Dragon Quest III (FC). It's very similar to the first game, though that's not a bad …

Just like loot boxes, DRM, microtransactions, and console-style save points, it seems unfairly difficult escort mission is a modern game phenomenon. Perhaps it's a way for game publishers to wave their middle finger to the consumers, I don't know. But there are reason why I generally stick to old …

I've mostly been playing console RPGs in the living room lately (completed Lennus [SFC] and Shining and the Darkness [MD]; currently working on Dragon Quest III [FC]), so I haven't been posting here much. However, I started playing another PC game today, so I thought I'd post: Geneforge 2 I …

Act IV is again a mixed bag (<-- general theme). There's a couple of fields to plough, but the later parts of the Act are one of the game's highlights. Agreed! It was a nice step up from Act III. Diablo II Finished! I have mixed feelings on this one, but enjoyed it. I think Diablo 1 is overall the …

Nice, it was that easy fix? Never occured to me to try that decade ago, I probably just tried to force the game on one CPU core which didn't help and then angrily stopped playing after the merc went brain dead for the nth time XD Yes, so far so good! I've encountered this with some other games …

This might be a too new hardware issue. I never had issues with mercs just stopping like that back in the day but when I tried to play the game about 10 years ago with a newer PC it was like that, drove me nuts. That's interesting to hear! It's only become an issue with Act III for me, but part of …

Diablo II Pretty disappointed so far with Act III! It looks ugly, the layout is extremely annoying (basically a long and winding corridor with little sidepaths here and there to dungeons), and the enemies are also a nuisance; lots of tiny, fast things running around. I am also having lots of issues …

Well, I tore/pulled a calf muscle while jogging the other day, so I'll probably be posting a lot to this thread over the next week or two! Diablo II Right after I got done praising Act II for being a lot more interesting than the first act, the game sent me to what was basically a giant flat field …

Diablo II I was able to complete Act I a few days ago, and am about halfway through Act II now (based on the quest list). I must say that Act II is a huge improvement over Act I, even if the structure is overall very similar. It's just a better looking area overall, and there's a bit more variety …

Diablo II I finally completed Act I. I'm not sure what to think about this game, honestly. It's hard to believe I still have 3 more acts to complete (plus one more with the expansion). I really doubt the game is going to introduce any new mechanics along the way, and I already feel like I've been …

Diablo II I am putting Baldur's Gate II aside for now, because I would like to save it for a rainy day in the near future when I want to play a really good party-based RPG. Instead, I will play Diablo II. I played this a lot back when it was first released, but never completed it. I ended up …

Baldur's Gate II Played a bit more tonight, and really started to get into it! I've finished exploring the starting city of Athkatla, and I ended up with a good handful of quests to do. I complained earlier about not being able to explore outside the town without getting quests telling you to do so …

Baldur's Gate II I've put a few hours into this, and it's okay. I don't think I like it as much as BG1 so far. The starting dungeon is fun, but then the game drops you in the middle of a giant city, forcing you to "unlock" other areas by chatting with NPCs to get quests. I much prefer the more open …

I'm glad you liked it! If you end up replaying the game you might want to get the cube from the curiosity store and figure out what it is (as you seem to have missed that) and also find yourself a Lady of Pain doll and pray to it repeatedly and see what happens. Thanks! I actually did have the cube …
