We Are The Diamond Dogs

I’ve been trying my darndest to complete a Mother Base side-op that involves shooting a bunch of dummies, but so far I can only find 26 out of 35. Navigating the R&D platform trying to find all these fuckers is a nightmare. Involves lots of stairs and gay pipes. :melon:  I don’t even think I can continue until I finish it either, I have no other missions or side-ops. I might have to break down and use a guide for this particular side-op. Either that or take a break and play a different game of the metal gear persuasion, or just another game in general. Though with my track record it seems Metal Gear leaks into all of my other games when it finds the chance.

Spyro returns to his former glory

These haven’t been confirmed for PC or anything outside the PS4, but I imagine if they’re releasing the Crash Bandicoot trilogy on PC there’s a chance this will too in the future. If it does I’ll definitely purchase it, just as I intend to purchase the Crash Bandicoot remasters. Until then I’ll keep emulating the originals, even though I do have a working PS3 they would play fine on. :v:

Cardboard Box Enthusiast At Work

I’m impressed. I did a side-op where I didn’t set any alarms off AND managed to abduct a new victim for Mother Base. Just had to be patient, and go on sled rides while waiting for sunset. It’s been fun streaming/recording these adventures. Now if I could just complete that one Mother Base side-op I’d be good… Feels like I’m playing hide and seek. :zorak:

You can run the Logitech c920 at 60fps if you do the following. (OUTDATED)

***When originally published this method actually worked, now after a couple of Windows Updates the C920 stays stuck at 30fps… Will update and make a new post if another fix is found.***

Out of curiosity I decided to search the impossible. I began pondering if it was possible to make my Logitech C920 webcam function at 60fps as opposed to 30fps. Upon doing some digging I discovered it is actually quite possible, you have to disable the “right light” setting under your Logitech Webcam properties.

Once unchecked my video was butter smooth. Of course this will be limited to the program you’re using; for example if you’re using a program that caps you at 30fps then you won’t be able to take advantage of the performance.

I’m not sure what use this will be to me, considering I mainly use VSee and that has a 30fps cap. Plus I have a rule about showing my face on the internet. It’s there if you can dig for it (albeit not an accurate representation of me today), but perhaps I can find another use.

Shadow Of War Microtransactions are now on death row

This is what happens when you raise enough hell and vote with your own feet. Shadow Of War will be getting free updates, one of them involving the removal of microtransactions.

Please note that the above updates are free for all Shadow of War owners. The ability to purchase Gold will permanently cease on May 8, 2018. The permanent removal of Gold, War Chests and the Market will take place on July 17, 2018, at the same time as all other updates discussed above.

Honestly I’m a little surprised by this. I would have expected them to completely ride it out taking money in any way they could. The negative press must have had quite the impact on them if they’re removing their store entirely. This should be a lesson to other companies that plan on trying or are currently using similar tactics. This never should of happened in the first place, especially for a single player game for fucks sake.

Half Life Source: Hemorrhoids Edition

Played a bit of Half Life Source today. I only ever played the tutorial level and wanted to see how the rest of it compares to the original GoldSource version. Here it is in all its glory:

It also seems I wasn’t the only one, as a friend of mine took a similar screenshot many moons ago. :assy: Guess some things don’t change.

Easter Open Thread

Happy Easter! I’ve had a quiet day so far, any noise I heard came from my Quake playtime. I setup Darkplaces as a nonsteam game and played the first episode. Got the earth rune, and now I’m thinking of making a Steam Controller config. I thought it would be pretty cool to play it out in the living room. I’ve already made ones for Quake 3 and the original Tomb Raider. Making one for Quake/Darkplaces should be easy.

The gift was a success

Awhile back I mentioned a conversation I had with a co-worker that ended up leading to me creating the above picture. I had it printed out as an 8×10 photo and framed it, then I wrapped it and hid it in our stockroom for him to find. Needless to say he had a good laugh, in fact I was surprised he didn’t fall on the floor. I think it sent some good vibes, we both had a relatively good day. Now I just need to hope he doesn’t attempt giftvengeance. :zorak:  That’s a word now, I’ve decided. :v:

Other than that I’ve taken to cleaning my bedding so that I can just relax for the weekend. I’m tired enough that I should be careful to not sleep through to Tuesday… I’ve been fighting my eyes with toothpicks for hours now. I think I’m only operating on 4 hours of sleep? I’m surprised I can even type right now. It almost feels like I’m typing this without thinking, like I could be president or something. :morty:
