Banter and Chit-Chat! / Re: Star Wars: What do think of the New Movies?

I'm not convinced of any of that. Sure, she has exec producer credits on tons of fan favourites, but wasn't she basically Spielburg's secretary and he just threw her credits?

Regardless, it's not the point. She has horribly mismanaged Star Wars and is responsible (whether directly or indirectly) for both dividing the fanbase like it's never been divided before and for the first Star Wars flop in history. And it was a monumental flop. She is not right for Star Wars. Whether she made mistakes, was malicious to fans, or just doesn't understand Star Wars, she's not right for the job. I don't care what movies she's worked on. When I first heard she was taking over LucasFilm I didn't have any reason to be against it. I was like "Ok, let's see what she brings to the table! I'm just glad George is gone!". Now her actions speak for themselves as far as I'm concerned.

It was nothing compared to how they handled Enterprise when they first started it. (T'Pol)

Can't say I'll miss her if this is true.

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.

Quest for Infamy / Re: Please rethink cropping the art for version 2.0! (FALSE ALARM)

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 / 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.

I had a very very long response to each of your points, but instead I decided to just leave it at these two points.

You jumped to "legal action" before Steve had a chance to offer a refund. Naturally he responded with a refund because that's supposed to be the first step anyway. You chose to escalate it to legal action first (against an individual, mind you, whose personal finances are on the line) just to get your precious box. You could have requested a refund first. That was your move.

Your whole attitude is not reminiscent of the Kickstarter spirit. Kickstarter is not a store where you buy products. It's a platform where you can support people to make their plans, visions, and dreams come true. They delivered a game, you have it, and you're squabbling about rewards. Their campaign was a success. They finished what they set out to do. It did not fail. You didn't pay for a box, you pledged a higher amount to help production costs for the creation of a game which granted you access to a free box as a reward for helping them make the game. If you really care more about that box and your money than this man doing his best (or suffering depression if he is indeed over his head and just putting it off) then you aren't the kind of person that should be backing Kickstarter projects because these things happen all the time. Most people are understanding of who they choose to back (especially if the project was completed which it absolutely was). You obviously are not. What Steve needs is support not constant hounding and badgering. If you can't understand that concept of human decency or see how it's relevant and still think you should be treating this whole ordeal like a customer demanding what their owed from a large company (who can afford the loss a lot more than one individual and his family's personal finances), then a refund is best for you. You should leave the realm of crowd-funding and never look back.

Enjoy.

More entitled nonsense going on in this thread I see. Good luck with your legal action, eXoScoriae. That won't get you anywhere.

It's good to see at least some people with half a brain who don't treat a single person like a giant corporation.

MusicallyInspired, you fanboy hard.   ;)

I'm not a fanboy, Steven is a good friend of mine.
