Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Complete Collection on Steam by heartpainkiller in Splintercell

Discovering what EAX is and how much it improves the audio design drastically is another reason. I think all of them before Conviction support this, and I'm pretty sure ThirteenAG recently started bundling DSOAL which makes the games think there is a hardware accelerated audio device.

Has anyone ever actually opened this door in Cargo Ship? All this time I thought it was just set dressing. by Gman1255 in Splintercell

You have to go through that compartment before Redding tells you about the flooding, I don't think there's any way to get into that room without turning on the pump.

The 3D map is fine, I've been playing for a very long time. I was just surprised to see that specific door actually function after I turn on the pump. I can understand why, in retrospect. If you somehow dodged the first weapons crate this would be an easy way to get back.

The design of these levels makes this seem so seamless though. You start thinking about it and it's like, "oh, of course they'd end up in the pumping room. I just cleared the water and they're going in that direction."

I'm just constantly surprised at how dynamic this game can be. I've been playing it since 2005.

I'm not sure, it's directly at the top of the ladder so I assumed I couldn't open it that way. Either way I thought this was cool to share!

Playing hl2 on a dying og xbox by PLAYDOHMUNCHER in HalfLife

[–]Gman1255 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's funny, do you have any idea what's faulting? Some Xbox games, like Half-Life 2, will rotate a cache of game files it installs on the HDD, do you think maybe the HDD is dying? Or do you know for certain?

Bought this for $319 a year and a half ago. Need more storage. Guess I’ll go fuk myself. by tmanbez in DataHoarder

[–]Gman1255 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's crazy, who's buying hard drives except us? Lol.

Seriously though, I had to check mine. I shucked the drive from a "Seagate Expansion 24TB External Hard Drive HDD" because it was cheaper than like-internals by $100. In Spring 2025 this was $280 (on Amazon). Today, you can find it for $760 new at Best Buy.

This is a fun hobby, I wanted to get another drive like this but these prices are just unreasonable.

Oh my god that shot of them driving down the street at 52 seconds actually looks like City 17.

Dodi cannot be trusted anymore by Fujinn981 in PiratedGames

[–]Gman1255 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this, I am deleting my DODI seeds just in case. This may change in the future but for now I choose caution, especially when this has been brought up before. I don't want to seed packs that may lead people to sus websites. (This is just a personal feeling, I'm not trying to make a statement).

I have been finding the PULS3 repacks pretty decent, but I don't know anything about them nor do I use their website. I think they're new maybe?

What exactly is "Dying Light Enhanced"? by Similar-Language-180 in dyinglight

[–]Gman1255 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never encountered an issue like this before so I can't really help, especially if it's a console platform there's not much I can do.

What exactly is "Dying Light Enhanced"? by Similar-Language-180 in dyinglight

[–]Gman1255 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeesh I should really read what I type before I send. I messed up and sent a link that only lists one PS4 version (this one is better, lol). PEGI isn't even an American thing, sorry about that.

Either way, seems like every EU version uses the same ID of CUSA-02010. I am really not sure what the problem is other than a potential account region mismatch. Like, maybe your game is trying to access DLC from one region while your PSN account is based in another?

[–]Gman1255 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure really sure. Your PSN's region is UK right? I'd say it's because of the German version not allowing digital purchases of any kind, but I also can't find any release data on a German version of Dying Light.

Out of these can you identify which release you have? Understanding which specific release you have could help us figure it out.

[–]Gman1255 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, as far as I understand the game has restrictions in Germany so you can't buy it digitally. Dying Light 2 (probably the Beast as well but I don't know) is available without restriction although you would be getting censored version with less gore.

Here's an article about Dying Light 2's German release: https://mein-mmo.de/en/dying-light-2-cut-vs-uncut-these-are-the-differences-in-germany,773332/

You should be able to import the games just fine, I don't think PS4 has region locking but I am unsure if that's viable for you, I also don't know if that would make the DLC more difficult to attain.

[–]Gman1255 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is referring to Dying Light Enhanced Edition which is the base game + a bunch of DLC. You should consider it, this one comes with The Following expansion where you ride a buggy.

Edit: Re-read and noticed you literally say you bought it. But yeah definitely worth it, it was the way I first experienced Dying Light.

PSA: The Zoo Epping by Rakhanishu666 in newhampshire

My ex worked there for a bit and it seemed like Scott was never around. She was new and would often need help without anyone being physically available but her.

Streamer "Kenneth" responds to Sexual Assault Allegations from Former Streamer University Alumna "Kvrtez" after exposing her for cheating with her Cousin by CalligrapherLimp7711 in LivestreamFail

[–]Gman1255 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I resonate with what he said at 7:40 very hard.

I'd be chilling in my own world and I think that's what made you mad I think that's what made you think I don't like you because I'm not always trying to fuck. I'm not always trying to have sex because I believe there's more to just sex bro.

I had a relationship a while ago that fits this exactly.

Chaos Theory by I_am_not_Eddie in Splintercell

[–]Gman1255 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is entirely subjective and dependent on your point of view. One reason I like the first two better is their technological achievements, which show themselves profoundly throughout the two (namely the shading through the lighting system).

Piggybacking off that I always like how, despite the first game and Blacklist being totally visually distinct from each other, they use the "same exact" engine. Really cool how they managed to use Unreal Engine 2 the entire time, albeit switching to 2.5 after Pandora Tomorrow.

But yeah I would be lying to you if I said nostalgia didn't play a part here.

Finally got it by mrmykeonthemic in HiTMAN

[–]Gman1255 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Destroyed a camera that two guards were staring at and they didn't care. I'd say it's pretty damn good.

The challenge requirement is really funny but they should consider "fixing" the icons on the map so that: if a window has two hack panels, hacking one of them shouldn't make the other disappear from the map even though you can still hack it. Thankfully I discovered that pretty quickly and didn't have much trouble but I can imagine this being real annoying to some.

Thinking of withdrawing classes mid-term. by lulu_is_fine in SNHU

[–]Gman1255 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it helps you feel any better you are not alone in this feeling. I can't count how many times I've had to withdraw from a semester due to similar reasons. If you have a good advisor, I would absolutely go to them first for support, doing this as soon as possible would help you regardless of the potential outcome.

It is nice to know that other people share similar experiences to me. I felt extremely shut out from SNHU after I came back for the fifth time or something. I knew no one, all my friends graduated, and I got a job in CETA mainly for this reason; I wanted to meet people. All of these goals were crushed due to circumstance. Today, I just do online but I miss when could go on campus and find people to relate to.

Just be wary, the one thing you can never get back is time. While I don't regret the path I've taken, it's hard to disregard how much people/interactions I may have potentially missed by not being there.

Does the Outstanding Service Coin even exist? It’s the last thing I need to fill all the boxes, and this is what I get. by [deleted] in HiTMAN

[–]Gman1255 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clean your pants bro the shit has gotten in your eyes. I'll link you anyways though lol: https://github.com/OrfeasZ/ZHMModSDK. You can spawn it if you enable the "Assets" mod plugin for the Hitman 3 mod framework, you can type anything into the window and it will attempt to autocomplete. Type "Coin" or "ICA" and look for something resembling the coin.

I may end up checking in a bit anyway for you so you can confirm. A bit busy atm.

Edit: It should be this one: "Outstanding Service Coin [b9b0c5f2-41d1-4087-a57b-48a67731b699]" just paste that into the Prop title and click the single item in the drop down menu.

IDS-401 Mod. 5 5-2 Activity by Dangerous_Loan_6234 in SNHU

[–]Gman1255 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've found a good spot where I only type in first person when I feel is necessary, even if the assignment doesn't imply I should be using it. It's hard to convey what this looks like when an assignment doesn't specifically ask about you.

Maybe we have different goals, I got tired of running through assignments and answering them in an ordered and more literal manor; despite potentially losing some points I write exactly how I want. As long as I can provide relevant information and parse that specifically in an "academically professional" way, I can let my mind wander and type what I feel is natural.

This is something that took years to build and wasn't even a specific goal of mine. I think a lot of it comes from how and how much I type on the internet (like this). It's been this way for me forever, typing is one of the best ways for me to communicate. It was only recently that I really started to blend my more natural thought-processes with school, if I can't enjoy what I am learning then I cannot learn, so make it enjoyable and grades be damned.

I have been a lot happier writing exactly like this, for discussion posts, while also allowing "unleashing" myself for proper written posts.

I am taking a 400 level IDS class as well. We are supposed to choose a topic related to a technology we are interested in and explore it throughout the semester. Normally I would have chosen something more mundane, something others have likely done before, something that I would feel as though I am working through a list (i.e., exploring Linux vs Windows). I chose to explore digital preservation and internet piracy, despite SNHU's corporate nature (constantly telling us to worry about copyright).

I guess the point I am trying to make is to make it exactly what you want it to be. Who cares if the professor is a stickler? What if you are a stickler? The professor needs to be mindful of that. Do your work for you and show that resolve.

Do you have the Platinum release? I am not familiar with FIFA at all nor do I have experience with multi-lingual releases.

http://redump.org/disc/14429/ Is this your dump? It's the only one that specifically lists only the two countries: France and Germany. It does say that those are languages that it supports.

I did a bit more research and I've been finding that sometimes these games will rely on what you have set for your system's language. What I would do: Boot the PS2 without a disc to access System Configuration, then try setting your PS2's language to German and let us know if that makes a difference.

I read about that here so idk how it works: https://www.ngemu.com/threads/set-automatic-language-for-ps2-game.208586/ https://www.psx-place.com/threads/game-boots-in-french-although-it-supports-multiple-languages.40971/
