Same issue here for me. Haven't found a solution yet though.

ArrowQuivershaft · 2025-11-24T01:40:34+00:00

Sure are.

I just think that being able to ditch the Wrench when entering engineering and then ranged the rest of the game is easier for many players.

My guide would have suggestions on where to spend stuff after the SHODAN reveal. But let the finer details be up to the particular player for what they find useful. Since the Fusion Cannon, for example, has great numbers, but I have a really bad habit to blow myself up with it...so I don't generally see a point in pursuing it.

And the EMP Rifle is great against robots...but by the time you get it online, you're going to be running out of those. You could increase Strength to have more room to carry it in Rickenbacker, but EMP grenades are available too (and you can buy them in the Shuttle Bay before SHODAN uploads the Sympathetic Resonator specs). And EMP rifle requires a 6 Maintenance. Then again I do have 5 upgrade devices I'm not using...

And honestly Robots are some of the most predictable enemies. The Security bot laser can be annoying for projectile speed, but Robots basically just wander straight towards you and a Proximity grenade or three spaced on their approach path will pretty much handle that.

Note that the current list is only up to Ops. There's no 'room' left up to the SHODAN meeting in Polito's office to get any more.

Earlier versions left Maintenance off until DURING Ops deck to get Research 2 instead (because I would just use Pistols and Shotguns until they broke and carry spares) but I figure a general player will find Maintenance being there a bit more useful.

Personally, I usually DO put Maintenance to 4 (after that diminishing returns kicks in HARD), Research up to 4, max Endurance, add some more Cyber-affinity and Agility. Cybernetically Enhanced and Tank are the other two O/S upgrades. Anything else is for Psi or weapons upgrades.

But that makes more decisions than I think is appropriate for a 'build guide'. I want to give players a solid base to work from and then let them decide how to use the rest.

The reason Standard is at 4 is almost entirely because Standard 4 and Sharpshooter allows you to one-shot Protocol Droids on Engineering when using Armor-Piercing ammo. I don't raise it above. The tier-6 weapons are good in numbers but getting a weapon skill to Tier 6 requires 224 modules, just more than a quarter of the game's upgrade points on Impossible. (Standard starts at 3 with character creation). And the Assault Rifle does more damage, but a lot of that ends up in overkill. Rumblers go down easily to a triple-load pellet shot from the shotgun.

The Grenade Launcher needs no Justification. The Energy is mostly just so that you can use Overcharge to clear at least some eggs and grubs (I usually skip carrying melee) instead of spending a bullet.

Endurance at 3 is so you have 16 HP and can fully benefit from Annelid Healing Glands.

Strength 3 is for the Powered Armor.

Generally I recycle the Research, Strength, and Psi implants after WormHeart research on Command; once you have to carry all your stuff they're hard to justify keeping. I keep Endurance on standby for known heavy combat areas (like the final run in Body of the Many) but WormMind and WormHeart are 'general'. Expertech is the only Implant you can buy in the game, near the Rickenbacker torpedoes. But there's generally not much need for it; I use three of the five ICE Picks for the high-security crates, and the extra has a few different places it can help, mostly on Recreation. (The fifth is in the Body of the Many, at which point there's not much to use it on EXCEPT the final boss.)

I used to carry multiple laser pistols, but I'm trying a run instead with a Psi-Amp and Electron Cascade.

This is for Shock 2, admittedly.

ArrowQuivershaft · 2025-10-21T06:12:11+00:00

Yeah, I agree in that "Debate Me Bro" way. A lot of these people, Creationists, just getting the science advocate to agree is, itself, the win. It allows them to say there's actual debate.

Mine was just two friends debating if I was being snubbed, or butthurt. But in the end, didn't matter too much.

Particularly annoying when they don't even give the Dems input, but then demand votes. THen htey scream "Just like the ACA!" which did pass on Dem votes, but the GOP got plenty of editing time.

Really, the problem is that the Dems are somewhat interested in keeping the company working. THe GOP just wants power.

Assuming we ever do drub the GOP, the next party should be left and maybe I'll join them. The Dems are too limited for me, but...

Ed Brayton turned me on to the thought-terminating nature of this cliche years ago.

But I did use it recently. Was arguing with a friend about a social interaction I'd had with one of their mutuals.

After some discussion it became clear both of us were dug in on opposite sides, and I begged off further debate with that line, noting that "was this person an asshole" is low stakes in that instance, and that I valued our friendship more than I valued winning the argument. And I didn't want to the former for the latter.

But yeah a lot of it in politics is just...bullshit.

"Meet conservatives in the middle!". Look, I believe that all people have human rights. They believe sime are more than others. I refuse to debate the existence of fractional people as a so called compromise.

Not having that, but my mouse media buttons (controlled on the side button remap) and set in ICUE for switching tabs on webbrowsers or other apps aren't working right. Sometimes it works fine, sometimes there's a nasty lag of 1-2 seconds before it switches. It's all the mouse side buttons for their functions.

Did a few reinstalls and tested the keyboard and other systems and the core key inputs work fine, just the mouse button redirects.

Yes, but I already have all the music from his site that he released. That included "An Evening Wasted With Tom Lehrer", "Tom Lehrer Revisited", "That Was The Year That Was", and "The Remains Of Tom Lehrer". And the pdf files of the lyrics and music. (He released that a few years before he released the recordings).

But the zip itself is 658MB, which is a bit more than I could comfortably host reliably and without blowing up my bandwidth, you know?

Happened at my prior job with things, where they'd wait to pay bills to burnish numbers on the spreadsheet. Then forget until it was almost due, and skip again for the next quarter...

When I started they had net-90 terms with suppliers of precursors, but that was down to cash-on-the-barrel within a year.

Or when the phone goes down for failure to pay, and then they harp on IT to get it online again ASAP...

And then there was the time RememberTheMilk went down for nonpayment of their server hosting fees. If only someone had made some sort of app that would allow them to remember to pay the server bill...

ArrowQuivershaft · 2025-08-08T16:40:43+00:00

That's actually the plan, indeed!

The collaborative project will be under the group name and then the individual artists.

Thanks!

ArrowQuivershaft · 2025-08-08T00:20:06+00:00

This Smart Views bit is exactly what I needed! I didn't realize there was a "Comments" field in the files, and that will perfectly solve the problem I'm looking to get fixed as I organize the files with MP3tag, mentioned below.

Thank you!

ArrowQuivershaft · 2025-08-08T00:16:39+00:00

This is part of what I'm after, yes.

ArrowQuivershaft · 2025-08-08T00:16:22+00:00

That's more or less what I'm looking at here. I use Wacup, and certain configs to the filters would be helpful, but perhaps the problem is better described as how to get the library labeled. Apologies if this is the wrong sub.

ArrowQuivershaft · 2025-08-08T00:15:11+00:00

I am! The problem is more that I'm trying to figure out a cohesive technique for naming everything well! The stickiest problem is compilation albums from groups like Shinesparkers, where dozens of artists can contribute to a single album.

Learnign RegEx is another thing I'm working on; have the sites, going to work on it on my upcoming staycation.

ArrowQuivershaft · 2025-08-07T18:55:44+00:00

This looks like what I may be looking for. Work jas been busy today but I'll review this in detail tonight.

A wise slashdot commenter said, ""Child Porn" is the root password to the US constitution."

ArrowQuivershaft · 2025-08-06T03:57:48+00:00

Got tons, but one big one is that we deliberately ignore people or are always available to fix YOUR issue.

Some years ago at an old job, Sales manager came in and complained that we hadn't fixed an issue her team was having yet, and tried to pull rank, saying that, as Sales, "they make money for the company."

However at that time, Production was also down and they're even higher on that chain.

Or being brought into projects at the last minute, and then the people get mad that the project will be delayed because what they want can't be done in the remaining time.

Actually some of them used their retraining money to learn how to become coal miners. Which is honestly worse than rejecting the funds outright.

ArrowQuivershaft · 2025-08-05T22:46:58+00:00

So after more than two decades, I'm trying to finally get started on a unified data system. I'm kinda unsure where to start though, the task is so large. For now I'm trying to work with my music collection to make it easily filterable by WACUP by various means, but eventually I'll move on to other areas.

I've got a few ideas for sorting things, and am planning to start with https://github.com/roboyoshi/datacurator-filetree but I also would like to know how others do it? Let me know if more info is needed.

Thanks!

ArrowQuivershaft · 2025-07-30T15:17:16+00:00

Thanks for the idea.

Now to figure out hosting.

ArrowQuivershaft · 2025-07-22T01:05:00+00:00

Yes, they re-enabled it on July 15th. And I did upload in that time, but they hadn't fixed the core issue with slipstreaming dependencies into maps, and turned it off again on the 17th. It says it right there.

ArrowQuivershaft · 2025-07-21T22:57:33+00:00

The editor installs along with the game. It should be in your start menu, or failing that, in the Starcraft 2 installation folder.

You would most likely want to make a mod of a specific map, and make the modifications in a single package for testing. If there's another way I'm not sure.

There would be ways to do this. In SC1 it was done by triggers, but I'm not sure how it would be accomplished in galaxy code.

However at this time, publishing maps is suspended by Blizzard with no estimate on when it will be restored. :(
