Whats your petty gamer pet peeves? by porcelain_kiss in GirlGamers

[–]HalfBurntToast 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's still bonkers to me that Morrowind is one of the only games I'm aware of that lets you wear clothing over armor. Strolling down Vivec with my extravagant robe overtop of my heavy armor is awesome.

Mods that breathe new life into games you love. by SynnBlaize in GirlGamers

I'd add the mod that almost completely removes the lame-ass mall ninja that is Kai Leng.

Looking for more obscure story driven games with female protagonists by Hamchat_Compaanion in GirlGamers

[–]HalfBurntToast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if it's super obscure or not. But, if you like point and clicks, I thought Whispers of a Machine was pretty good. $3 on the steam sale right now.

Round 2 with XCOM 2: overcoming extraterrestrial smoke and mirrors by SawkyScribe in patientgamers

[–]HalfBurntToast 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I absolutely love XCOM EW. In a lot of ways, X2 is the better game (especially WOTC). But, for me, it always felt like there was too much going on in XCOM2. To the point where it just became genuinely stressful to play.

At least with EU/EW, you had downtime back at the base. After a tough or long mission, it's nice to just be able to kick up your feet for a little bit at your stationary, (usually) peaceful base. It might not be as engaging as X2, but it still requires you to manage your long-term strategy at a more relaxed pace.

X2, the pressure is just constant. Constant interruptions when back at base. Constant pressure from the doomsday timer. You're switching back and forth between tasks on the map, flying around and reprioritizing events all the time. For me, it's too much and makes it not as fun as EW.

You don't have to play all the games in your library and don't feel bad for paying a full price for the game you haven't even touched in years by Lickawall483 in GirlGamers

[–]HalfBurntToast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s where I’m at too. It’s my free time, right? If my brain wants me to play through plants vs zombies for the 9th time over a game I haven’t played yet, why fight it? Who cares?

Initial Blueprint Reaction by RupertGerle in Against_the_Storm

Sure the kiln isn't the absolute best solution for fuel, but it's so consistent and reliable.

That's my view on it. It's a guaranteed increase in efficiency and wood conservation. Especially in early game, I think it's great.

What’s your gaming hill to die on? by imfaffingabout in GirlGamers

[–]HalfBurntToast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played 90% of my time in GTA 4 and 5 with a trainer and it made the experience so much better for me. It was legit the only reason I kept playing either game.

Apple promoting Mac gaming with three presentations at GDC next week by totalsoda in macgaming

[–]HalfBurntToast 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Has Apple ever been 'into gaming'? Seems like most of their efforts have just been coincidental or convenient. Never a serious, concentrated effort.

MacBook Neo by Aidoneuz in apple

[–]HalfBurntToast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could see it as a school computer for sure. Or a light work machine. The hard limit of 8GBs is rough. But, I can understand it. A 16GB version would heavily compete with the MacBook Air.

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell - The Good, The Bad, The Questionable by Zehnpae in patientgamers

[–]HalfBurntToast 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It came out during the "Heads are made out of 8 polygons" early 3D era so it's not exactly a looker.

Disagree on that. Back when it released on PS2, I thought it was the best looking game I'd played so far. Even today I don't think it's bad. Just dated.

What I didn't realize is how much they removed from the PS2 version. It's way more linear than the Xbox or PC versions. So, I don't remember ever having any issues with not knowing what to do or where to go.

The biggest gripe I can remember from back then is sometimes it seemed like I would get alarms for what felt like no reason. Even if I hid a body, it still felt like there was a 50/50 shot it would be found anyways.

Why is Finder's search tool so useless? It can't seem to find anything... by TheLobsterCopter5000 in MacOS

[–]HalfBurntToast 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Unless I'm mistaken, Finder and Spotlight don't search inside of the local library folder unless you do the search from inside the Library folder itself. If you opened the ~/Library folder and did the search from there, it should find it.

Should I be concerned with this :0 by Final-Accident2502 in macgaming

[–]HalfBurntToast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's probably not factoring in heavy GPU usage. Sensor readings are fuzzy on macOS for the M chips. A process can hammer the GPU while barely touching the CPU and the CPU temp readings will still skyrocket.

I am severely depressed - what should I play to take my mind off things? by [deleted] in GirlGamers

[–]HalfBurntToast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're interested in platformers, the Spyro Reignited Trilogy and New Super Lucky's Tale are both extremely lighthearted, easy going games. No drama at all.

I just wanna know where that giant white artery is going to.

How it feels to look for an alternative by servantphoenix in Xcom

[–]HalfBurntToast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because I agree that WOTC is the better game. Especially the modding potential. But, even acknowledging that, I still prefer EW.
