It's one of SMF's features that we don't use. We don't really need it since most people upload their images elsewhere, and then others use dropbox, google drive and other sites to upload their files.

Serious / Re: Do all men cheat?
« on: October 11, 2015, 02:42:24 AM »
I think lots of people cheat, but they just associate cheating with their partner's gender as a whole. I've met many guys who mainly complain that women cheat too often, and other hand the same with women about men.

It's just called 'Internet'

Well, I spoke with Cheat, and well, the default Android browser is out of date. You should, and anyone else with browsing issues should use the more maintained Chrome, Firefox or Opera instead. Some problems will go away, some others are Sep7agon ones that I am working on at the moment.

By the way, I'm keeping a database of Sep7agon game reviews now. I ended up coming across some borderline stuff that I wasn't sure should be included, like Icy's Destiny thread, and your own "Food for Thought" series that you did a long time ago. You'll find it in the "Other game analysis" section down the thread.

I was just wondering if you were okay with that.

I am fine with that, I thought people just forgot that small series ever even existed. Especially since during then I was mostly working on the design, so I thought it was sidelined due to the stuff I was doing.

DAMN I forgot to download that thanks to battlefront.

I am talking about MGO2 that was included in MGS4 there. Not Metal Gear Online 3 with The Phantom Pain.

Gaming / Re: Destiny now has micro transactions
« on: October 10, 2015, 10:29:37 PM »
So, let's check the list for how Destiny has been handled so far;

  • Key staff original to the studio left, or was fired over power games in steering the game versus the publisher's demands
  • Game faces serious changes and cuts a year before release (thus breaking a game that was on development at least since late 2010)
  • Gets rid of old fans that did not move onto the new IP, and revokes their access from the forums unless they accept and move on with them
  • Exaggerated advertising and hype generation showed a distorted picture of what the game would be. People in stores nowadays are doubtful when they look at the cover of Destiny and its pricing versus the price of other AAA games.
  • Game is released with lack of content, and content comes as DLC and then microtransactions. Also trading isn't enabled in the game, thus forcing a lack of a player-driven economy (where in the first place Bungie wanted to create a player economy in Destiny) and the only economy is based on endless grinding and RNG.
  • Cosmetic micro-transactions added, especially emotes that were lacking in the base game. The revenue from these will be used to probably encourage further support for the game down the line. There is no "free" updates in Destiny, it's just updates fueled by the micro-transactions.

Our plan is to use these new items to bolster the service provided by our live team for another full year, as they grow and create more robust and engaging events that we’ll announce later this year. It has been, and continues to be, our goal to deliver updates to the game. Going forward, our live team is also looking to grow beyond vital updates and improvements to focus on world events, experiences, and feature requests.
Oh, yeah, the service that in the first place decided that text chat was useless in an online game, and the voice chat is a mess in most situations? Also, people throw a good amount of money to the game. Destiny currently has a high retail price, like other Activision titles. So, why do people need to pay even more for a game that's really, beyond any recovery besides the extra revenue from impulse buying and curiosity?

If you’re still skeptical, you can log in next week and take a look for yourself. We’ll be dropping some free Silver into your account so you can purchase an emote or two and become legend through the power of dance.
Skeptical of what, microtransactions? I am not. I've bought things on microtransactions, especially cosmetic ones, from the flute in Guild Wars 2 to CS:GO skins. I am skeptical that the team at Bungie can really deliver to the big, fat promise that the game will improve over time unless I shill out 50 Euros every couple months between DLC and microtransactions. It's probably this way because it's a console release. Subscriptions are too hard to implement due to the publisher and either Microsoft or Sony having a problem with monthly or recurring subscriptions on top of theirs.

I also think that throwing cash won't really fix the main story of the game that feels rushed, has sudden turns, spasms and poor character development.

Metal Gear Online where "pro" players were self-spinning around themselves abusing some kind of hitbox glitch and one-shotting you to the head.

I really like furry artists. They really put a lot of time to develop a skill, and it's even better when that skill is used outside the overly demanded adult stuff.

The Flood / Re: >getting up at 9 for a lecture
« on: October 09, 2015, 05:10:47 AM »
I have one on monday too, no attendance is taken. However it can be really hit and miss. For example 90% of the classes are genuinely irrelevant. But every once in a blue moon, there is a class held that is critical to the exam. It's too much for my little heart to take so I just go to them all and suffer.

Depends on what's critical and the subject. In web design pretty much it was an early hands-on with CSS, HTML and just referencing Javascript. Not much was really done in the sense of design besides some simple theory and mentioning some important concepts. The class offered nothing new to me. My unmotivated and rough midterm and final projects got good grades, so I guess I've got a good grade out of it.

The class after that goes into PHP, and well, yeah, I'll also get bored with that one.

I've had a whole semester where I had to attend a single class Monday, Wednesday and Friday between 12:00 to 13:00. It was Web Design. In my college we also have absences; so if I skipped one too many, I'd fail the class automatically.

griffith from berserk.

I agree, Griffith had placed a lot in his inner circle. So, at least, in human form Griffith didn't do anything wrong, but give into the temptation of the powers offered to him.

Gaming / Re: Why do most of you guys game on consoles as opposed to PC?
« on: October 08, 2015, 06:10:39 PM »
There are some games I can't get on the PC. Especially PS2 games, some Xbox 360 ones (e.g. Red Dead Redemption, and Eternal Sonata are two good examples outside of the obvious ones like Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, and Fable 2) and even PS3 ones like the Zone of Enders and Metal Gear HD collections, and Metal Gear Solid 4.

For older games, sometimes I prefer emulation, but it's much better to play a classic game on its original console. Once upon a time I even had a Wii and through it I played lots of NES and SNES classics.

« on: October 08, 2015, 04:13:02 AM »
Yes. All of NATO could be brought down by Russia's military.
Logistics. The Eurocucks are far too reliant on America for defense. If Russians were to invade, the Eurocucks would get steamrolled and America would be forced to spread itself too thin because the Eurocucks have no idea how to properly defend themselves.
This sounds like the plot for the next Call of Duty

That was the plot for Modern Warfare 3.
