Re: What is that one computer habit that you got rid of?

I guess I gave up "hanging out in ICQ" some time in the late noughts, before it became impossible at all in the last year. Man, I remember for years hanging out on chat apps. ICQ way early on, then AOL IM around highschool because that's what the girls I wanted to chat with used. I want to say …

Once upon a time, the first thing I did when I got onto my computer every day was check my webcomics. I still have the bookmark tab for them. But they haven't been worth reading for almost a decade. I truly don't know what happened. Some ended, some jumped the shark, some just tapered off as the …

I think I'm finally getting the hang of this game. Seems like I may play it through, but we'll see. I'm currently only 8.5 hours in. All characters are level 2 except for the cleric, which has just hit level 3. I'm still exploring The Civilized District and The Slums... I'm glad to hear that you're …

I finally popped in the first disk from the MIght & Magic Compendium I ebayed, I fired up Heroes of Might & Magic 1 . My first attempt at the first stand game with all standard settings got off to a rough start. Attacked something I really shouldn't have right out the gate, lost most of my army, and …

Was the puzzle you got stuck on the hallway with the poem that tells you how to walk down it? Only puzzle I needed help for too, and even with the solution, I wasn't 100% sure how the instructions from the poem mapped to the specific movements you performed. Like broad strokes I got it, but then …

So I finished Mechwarrior 5: Clans . Took about a week and 25 hours, which is more or less exactly what the estimated playtime talked about ahead of release was. IMHO, if you liked Mechwarrior 2, this is a no brainer. Covers the Clan invasion of 3050, with you playing the oft neglected in novels and …

Screenshot looks like crap. I think it was compressed when I uploaded it. :( I don't think it's something you could tell from a screenshot, it's too suddle. Even I didn't notice anything was wrong at first, the apartment the game starts in looked perfectly fine to me. Had to play for a bit before I …

Completed Syndicate yesterday evening, the 1993 DOS game not the much later FPS of the same name. I think I made a mistake hopping on to it right after WarCraft, I did not remember at all just how hands off it was in terms of gameplay. You command a squad of cyborgs from top down view, left mouse …

Mechwarrior 5 A few years after wrapping up my involvement in the 4th Succession War, I got recruited to fight in the liberation of the Rasalhague Republic. It did not go well. I hung in there as best I could, but about 3 missions short of the end, my resources were tapped out. All my assault mechs …

I'm continuing my journey through Mechwarrior 5. One funny thing happened. The 32:9 UI mod I'm using broke Arena Fame in the new Solaris Showdown DLC. Luckily the mod tools are freely available and easy to use, and I wrote myself a new mod reimporting and correcting the screen positioning of the …

It feels so weird saying this, but gameplay was not Half-Life 2's strong point IMHO. People went nuts over the environmental story telling, and I think it was one of the first games that scratched that "game theory" itch with so much never being explained explicitly, but being in the background in …

Damn. That's rough.. I hope he's fine... Not to be a smartass but that's why I don't keep trees so close to my house. Yeah that was my first thought when I saw the photos. Those trees should've been felled in advance. This sucks, I hope the collection can be salvaged. Having trees taken down is …
