I must just have heavy fingers, because I’m always accidentally right-clicking. Sometimes left-clicking. I wish the mice I liked had adjustable springs.
Maybe if I get annoyed enough I’ll steal a spring from another mouse and see if I can double up.
Honestly, blacksmithing isn’t that hard. And the video in the article looks like it was cold sheet steel work over a form and a few rivets, so a few hours’ work for a beginner. Even basic forge work is something you can learn in an afternoon.
For cold work, you need a hammer and some hard object. That’s it. Anvil, swage block, piece of rail, random scrap steel, or even a hard rock. That’s it. It’s really not expensive at all, unless you’re buying a whole bunch of brand new unnecessary stuff.
I started out with a rail-anvil I bought for $67, a few hammers and peens for $40, tongs for $20, and a forge for $140. That was more than enough to get started. If you live somewhere that that’s a lot of money, you probably also have a guy in the area who does similar work and has extra tools, and your biggest expense will be fuel for hot work.
Someone should gift them all copies of Baldur’s Gate 3 so that they too can experience the premier sound design in the latest installment from Wizards of the Coast® Dungeons & Dragons™.
I have no idea how many runs I started in BG3. Every few moments I report a bug. Every update the game seemingly gets worse. Decisions don’t work, pathing is awful, after the latest update attacks no longer connect properly and my character claims not to be able to attack with a clear line of sight and so on. I have never...
If the automatic refund was rejected, you can ask for a manual review.
But if you’ve really started that many runs, and put in enough hours to get that far, don’t be surprised if they deny a refund. You’ve already experienced most of the game. It’s like going to a restaurant, tasting your meal, saying it’s horrible, then continuing to eat it.
They’re pretty lenient with refunds past two hours’ playtime, if it’s not that much more and you don’t have a history of requesting refunds. I’ve been refunded for games after like four hours, but I’ve also only done maybe two refunds tops.
Yeah. I’ve definitely gotten refunds past those limits. But I’ve had a Steam account for like 16 years at this point, lots of games, and I’ve requested a refund maybe twice.
I don’t feel compeled to play any online game at the moment except if a friend asks me to play with them. Even then, the only part where I am having fun is when some weird shenanigens happen which doesn’t happen at all given how sanetized and “ballanced” games are. I just want to see a funny ragdoll fly off one side of...
i recently played Syberia, Resonance, The Samaritan Paradox and Lamplight City. I’m looking for games along the same direction: 90s/2000s style adventure games. It could be really old games or also retro ones that have been released recently....
Grim Fandango got a rerelease not too long ago. If you want to go further back, I know the Monkey Island games also got rereleases, and a new one came out last year.
The other side of that coin is that employees can quit without notice.
Though really it’s not a balanced relationship. Businesses can absorb the loss of an employee much better than an individual can absorb the loss of a job.
The employees are still probably getting a layoff package, and they can file for unemployment, so it’s not like they’re out on the street, fortunately. We do have some protections in the US.
For those that didn’t catch the last Direct, Super Mario Wonder has announced that it will feature two different kinds of online multiplayer, both very different to local multiplayer - one where you can see “ghosts” of other players currently online on a given level, which can’t interact with you directly but can give...
Bullshit, there are already multiple games on the Switch that use rollback. I’ve never benchmarked different methods, but I doubt it’s that resource-intensive. We’ve had implementations for decades at this point. The Switch isn’t significantly less powerful than CPUs from old PCs that ran games with rollback. If anything, it’s more powerful, due to advances in CPU design and having a separate GPU.
I’ve had this question looking at the Quake con sale, and Call of Cthulhu Dark Corners of the Earth is for sale on both platforms. I ended up buying it on GOG. What is your opinion?
Or just get a non-“gaming” laptop that still has a real GPU. That’ll be more than enough for basic gaming. For real gaming you’d just bring your whole desktop rig anyway.
