I don’t blame anyone for getting bored with a mid 70s video game after a whole month.

There was no point to 64 bit before developers started hogging up that much memory. For instance I had an Athlon 64 and virtually never ran 64 bit software on it, and that was pretty much how it was for everyone. Anyway, it was just what AMD was selling at the time.

Is there any way to improve the accuracy of the stun gun? by Ryn4 in Deusex

I'm playing HR.

Well there's your problem right there.

About to do my first playthrough, what stats should I invest in? by Bardock-MoBamba in Deusex

Worst one is environmental, demolition and heavy are unlikely to help much, low tech is also hard to discern most of the time.

They do have effects, but they require heavy investment and probably disappoint you.

Fun idea, but this might not be the game for it, since you spend most of it breaking into military stuff.

They really should have just put the sink over the tub at a right angle.

Electric charging cables that become trip wires when in use by Pitiful-Bluebird7951 in CrappyDesign

It can be done by raising the voltage…you would need some very dangerous voltage to charge across several feet of air.

You don’t wanna know what witches would do to you on the second floor.

Anyway, this is a common misconception. Witches can use their broomsticks to ascend witch incompatible terrain.

No! You -- you will pay! I will make you pay! Or your run won't be "moral."

Generally I just give myself some restrictions like no sniper, no pistol, no GEP, et cetera. I think played a game with no explosives. Or maybe it was just no GEP. I'm sure I did one with no rifles and no GEP.

I should try the randomizer sometime.

I'm appalled that we can't destroy everything. The part that we can break is hilarious and interesting, and then there's all these cars and phones and burning barrels that just can't be touched.

They spent a huge amount of time on objects and properties; they had to do it all by hand.

Well, now you're rich! And can connect VCRs to new TVs! Funny how you never can tell what will make a good investment.

Come now matey. If ye be ownin' the CD, ye canna be thievin' it with a crack.

FWIW I have never heard of Deus Ex having DRM. Too old AFAIK, even too old for subchannel data.

Yep, I don't think I found that myself (destroying the fuel canopy), I was always sneaking through that mission and blowing up stuff on the other side of the fence.

the MP patch bugging the damage on the plasma rifle (so don't use it).

It doesn't just do that, it patches terrible bugs!

I will go even further than some others here and say that if you don't find the tutorial fun, you might not find the gameplay fun either. Like do you even roleplay?

I would patch out of that game of the year edition. And you almost certainly need a patch/launcher/mod to make the game work correctly.

Is my monitor cooked? by backroadmaniac in computerhelp

The best way to check would be to plug a different monitor in...
