Banter and Chit-Chat! / Re: Star Trek Thread - Split from Star Wars
« on: June 04, 2018, 09:09:59 AM »
They had some cool episodes I love watching over and over. Relativity is one of my favourite Star Trek episodes ever because they went all Back to the Future with it. Then there's that one episode where Chakotay and Kim from the future find a crashed Voyager under the ice in the beta quadrant and try to change history. Time and Again where Tom and Janeway are on a planet that's destroyed and gets caught in the past and ultimately avoids the catastrophe that destroys the planet. The one where Voyager is trapped in a singularity and are seeing quantum reflections of themselves. Voyager isn't the most interesting show from a character arc perspective, but it told some really interesting stories that deal with time and causality. I never saw it, but wasn't there one episode where they basically walk back a whole year of progress? And then the one where the whole ship turns out to be copies and they're not the real Voyager at all and they melt in space just before seeking help from the real Voyager who just finds a mess of space blobs...certain episodes stick out in the memory.

Next up is Space Quest IV. I stuck with the VGA version logo. Obviously a wallpaper can't have cycling palette colours but man wouldn't that be amazing in 4k? I also have a variation with the classic Space Quest font. Available in 4k/1440p/1080p as usual.

......

That's some messed up bizarre fan theory you've got going on there. Geez.

Force Awakens was pretty good. It was a rehash, but it got me excited about Star Wars again.

Rogue One was fair. Most of the story was "meh" to me, but the final 30 minutes were totally worth it.

The Last Jedi......I came out of it initially genuinely torn. I decided that I liked it because it changed everything and we have no way of expecting what's coming next. Mystery in Star Wars again! Been ages since we had that. However, as time went on the film really soured for me. Luke didn't get a big comeback, he didn't use his green saber, he wasn't even THERE for a duel at all, he never got a scene with Han, then he died at the end which was completely nonsensical. Don't even get me started on Canto Bight. That was a travesty that I hated from the beginning, I was just willing to overlook it. I began to realize that I liked very little of the film and the opening up of limitless possibilities by changing expectations came at too high a cost to the Star Wars experience. For me. And now Carrie has passed and we'll never see the whole gang back together at all. They blew their chance at that. So I'm not a fan of this movie at all. I like some of the developments like Snoke and Rey being nobody, and the throne room duel was pretty great.

Solo. I'm not even going to see it in theatres.

Read up on this thread, dude.

TL;DR it's coming.

Here's what nearest neighbor (left) and bilinear (right) scaling looks like.



Here's what nearest neighbor (left), HQ4x (middle), and another scaling filter called 4xBR look like.



I know what you're talking about with regards to single pixel lines with characters being in the background, though. I can't stand that either. If you run the setup in the game folder and there is an option to choose "normal2x". or "normal3x", etc that will solve that. Some games have 320x200 based artwork but have high resolution dialogue portraits for instance and that ups the game's resolution to 640x400 or something similar, which causes sprites in the background to be rendered in higher res.

Quest for Infamy / Re: Game Choice / Design question

I really hope you guys get that chance.

I still really need to play QFI. I've started and explored around the first area, but not gotten heavy into anything. Same with Order of the Thorne. I do have them on my LP list for YouTube videos...

Quest for Infamy / Obduction Kickstarter "Reward"
« on: May 17, 2017, 06:35:27 PM »
For those who weren't happy with the QFI rewards, here's proof that it could always be worse. Cyan promised an Obduction box "exclusive to the Kickstarter campaign". This is what backers are receiving.




I used to have a lot more respect for Cyan than I do right now. I'm glad I never had the opportunity to back. The retail copy is better than this pathetic embarrassing garbage. I'm not sure how they slept at night after throwing these in their fans' hands.

Loved UHS. Plenty of just simple hints before any giveaways. It's a shame people go straight to the walkthrough and don't want to think anymore.

Steven just had a baby so don't expect much prompt conversation for a while.

Banter and Chit-Chat! / Re: Episodic King's Quest The Odd Gentlemen.

I still maintain that it was a great tribute to the original series with many nods and winks to what came before and in some cases full out homages. I wasn't happy with all of it, but I was happy enough overall to enjoy myself and smile knowing that, even if only for a short time and maybe even not really in its truest form, King's Quest was a thing again. If it helps you, don't think of it as canon. But it wasn't something like what Telltale would have brutalized King's Quest with. It's a similar approach, but Telltale's meddling hands would have destroyed it a lot more than TOG "did" (I don't agree they did).

Also, this is coming from someone who was a member of the KQ3Redux team, for whatever that's worth.

Lookin' good! I love this box design. Especially the grey system requirements sticker on the side. Can't wait to put it on my shelf!

It's a bad stigma for sure. But one that Valve earned. It's like convincing the average person that Apple doesn't make the best computers. You just can't do it. They should never have been so restrictive. It's actually a good number of games that have no DRM whatsoever (connected with Steam, anyway). Only the big triple-A ones really.

Me too!

BTW, can I have all the extra boxes that these guys abandoned? :P :D
