    Fallout 3: The game that changed everything for the franchise.

    Again I don't see the significance of this. What does it matter that there more than one means of travel? Aside: The caravans serve as an alternate way to travel and get paid for it, and travel in armed company. I see only a cosmetic distinction between the aforementioned travel events...

    Fallout 3: The game that changed everything for the franchise.

    How so? [specifically] I don't see the relevance; they each fade away from the gameworld into an abstracted travel UI, and they each resume at the destination (excepting for random encounters along the way in the non-Bethesda games). They also each advance the game clock during travel. It...

    Fallout 3: The game that changed everything for the franchise.

    Both of which were in Fallout 1. *But also...Welcome to NMA. :ok:

    Reinstalled my computer - anything importan?

    The account owners have that option. It's pretty good as-is when installed. Users can add custom rule/actions. The UI has a power-button icon to enable or disable the filtering per-website.

    Reinstalled my computer - anything importan?

    U-Block Origin I disagree; many times even Youtube videos are blocked where having a decent VPN alleviates that hassle.

    CTB Vs Individual Vs Squad

    Continuous Turn is simple enough... plays somewhat like Baldur's Gate. Squad based lets you take all of the turns for your squad, then the opponents take all of theirs. Individual turns is how Fallout 1 plays. APs are a general abstraction of time. A faster, more agile, or more efficient...

    Have YOU backed up all your GoG DRM free installers? HMMMMMM?

    I didn't do it all at once. I backed them up over several years. *Which means checking for updates, and downloading those as well. I do mean the offline installers, not Gog Galaxy.

    Have YOU backed up all your GoG DRM free installers? HMMMMMM?

    Yes. Also backed them up to blu-ray discs; about 150 of them. I have most of my [Windows] DosBox games configured using Boxer; installed on a Mac Mini. For some reason GoG's OS filter is useless for Mac. Filtering for OSX-10.6 does not filter out OSX 10.7+ titles, so I use the Windows packages.

    MEGA Fallout Toy Set

    A toddler toy that allows for game accurate critical hits. :smug:

    They are unaware of the homophones Steak and Stake. This is sadly commonplace these days.

    i uncovered the secret to tga2mve, in case anybody's interested..

    A link to the site tools, and an explanation of their use would be superb. :salute:

    Losseless Scaling app discussion

    Why not? Is there no screen capture software for that? I'd think even DOSBOX could record Fallout 1, but surely Fraps or OBS could record Fallout 2—specifically the AI Upscale window process; or am I misunderstanding how the software runs? Is it injecting the upscaled frames, or is it wrapping...

    CTB Vs Individual Vs Squad

    Continuous Turn Based is essentially realtime with AP expenditure. Squad based is group turns. Individual is consecutive turns arranged by initiative scores. CTB is an abomination. Squad based is asininely over powered.

    Losseless Scaling app discussion

    That was my impression of it. What I meant was that the software (result/effect) could be recorded; regular gameplay or scripted events, to ultimately create custom videos that have the proper look of the the game itself.... For example the scene where Frank Horrigan kills the nomads; done...

    Losseless Scaling app discussion

    True, but those (the ones in the game) are not in-engine. I meant having 60fps interpolated machinima files for use in mods.

    That sounds like a way to generate smooth in-engine cut-scenes—to then render as MVE files.

    Starfield

    It's possible to get on top of the walls in the Temple district by choosing the right location to start. The corner edge of one roof is accessible with sufficient acrobatics skill, then leaping to the wall from the roof, then repeatedly hopping like mad until managing to hop the last few inches...

    Starfield

    If you are playing Oblivion, here is something you can try for amusement: (No mods, this is totally doable in the vanilla game, due to physics colliders.)

    Starfield

    Why yes... I remember his rousing rendition of "Where Is Tallman", by Fred Rogers. :smug: *No slight intended. it's just funny as hell to imagine it.
