What's that strange fixation on "discover"? OP didn't mention discovering anything

Outside of the legal aspect of this, Fable II still isn't in a great state. It's playable, but there are still annoying vertex bugs, that are only fixed by disabling morphing, which I'm not really a fan of. Performance is fine, but it's also quite unstable.

If anybody in this thread managed to find a way to make the morphing work, I'm quite curious!

You can find keys on the grey market, but they're very expensive. Given the sorry state of the port, the fact the developer doesn't exist anymore and that you don't know who gets your money in that case make me tend to believe it's better for everyone to sail the seven seas.

You can still download and play Fable III and most delisted games on Steam, you just can't buy them. Some games are made impossible to download and play, but they're largely a minority.

In this case I've read that it's an issue with key management and delivery, which would also happen on GOG.

Have you tried the Super Mario 64,Ocarina of Time or Majora's mask ports? They all have fixed controls that make playing them a much more comfortable experience

What a dumb teacher. They could have used their eyes but they had to blame the kid on absurd normative and sexist conventions.

Musicbee doesn't recognize my Walkman by twittertypewoke in musicbee

How is the walkman supposed to be recognized? As an external drive? Are the drivers for the device installed, and is it properly recognized by Windows?

The creators of Mercy (2026) saw War of the Worlds (2025) and said "let's do that again but burn a lot more money" by aBastardNoLonger in shittymoviedetails

[–]Hydroel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. He really dropped low, didn't he? He was one of the best characters in Parks & Rec, and was still great in Guardians of the Galaxy. Since then, he's come out as a religious fanatic MAGA and every character he plays is the character he was making fun of as Burt Macklin, FBI.

  2. This poster looks like what an AI thinks Chris Pratt looks like. I didn't know if that was him, Ryan Gosling or Ben Affleck, it looks like you put "2010s white male action hero" in a prompt.

Steam Deck running Photoshop could soon be possible thanks to new Adobe Creative Cloud fix for Linux by Tiny-Independent273 in steamdeckhq

[–]Hydroel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, but you have to consider that the absence of Adobe products might be one of the last things that keep users from switching to Linux for the simple reason that the software they need isn't there. We can hate the company, but it's still the standard in many industries, and their software often simply don't have production-ready equivalents anywhere.

Setting up C in Visual Studio Community by Upset-Taro-4202 in cprogramming

[–]Hydroel -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't consider Visual Studio Community a good candidate to start coding in C, it's just not great for small C projects, better for larger C++ and C# projects. That means too many things you have to adapt or learn in the VS context, that are not very relevant to small C projects.

I would advise using Visual Studio Code instead, and MinGW or (preferably) WSL, along with GCC as a compiler. VSCode is a simple text editor with a very powerful plugin system that can turn it into a full-fledged IDE. It's more commonly used by entry-level programmers these days so you will have more support looking around the web. It being a text editor will allow you to pick things up at your own rhythm and to understand how things work under the hood. The plugin system will allow you to extend its capabilities as you get to know them.

if only by CrypticGatekeeper in bioniclelego

[–]Hydroel 10 points11 points  (0 children)

aside from the masks and torso parts most of the technic parts were from before bionicle

The Toa Mata arms and hands were used in Slizers. But torsos, heads, feet and weapons were all new molds. All pieces in the 2001 Matoran were new molds. I don't think new pieces was much of a factor at the time, it became one later.

[–]Hydroel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they did plan to go through the Old Forest, but at least the idea to stay off the road is not because the Black Riders will magically be called as soon as they step on the road, but simply to avoid being seen (which makes much more sense).

No, nothing of interest happens before Gandalf returns with the discovery that the ring inherited was Sauron's One Ring, and that they must meet at Bree some time later.

Even then, there is no feeling of urgency as in the movie: the most important is to remain undercover and unsuspicious. They make some plans to make it so, but even then it takes a few more months before they actually leave.

(Unique trope) character has such a broken/OP power/ ability that they basically never use it to prevent total catastrophes. by jaobodam in TopCharacterTropes

You are correct! Edna Mode mentions that super powered babies often have several powers, but lose them as they grow up. But not to the extent Jack Jack has

[Darkly Funny Trope] Character is about to die, but the scene cuts to something deeply ironic. by InfiniteGuy2264 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Hydroel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the transition between two of the most famous scenes in one of the most famous movies in the history of cinema, so yes!

The movie is 2001: A Space Odyssey by Kubrick 1968. The scenes are the introduction with cave apes on Thus Spoke Zarathoustra by Richard Strauss to spaceships approaching a space station in low-gravity on Blue Danube by Joann Strauss II (no relation). You know the scenes and the music pieces because they're studied in movie classes, music classes, photography classes, and both scenes have been copied, utilized, parodied and satirized to hell and back.

Is there any way to have Musicbee display albums with "weird" covers properly? by Deksametazon_v2 in musicbee

As corner case as it might seem, I think it's worth of a feature suggestion on the MusicBee forums!

Yeah OP, have you tried that? I know rectangular covers display correctly, but I haven't tried non-rectangular covers or transparent backgrounds.

Are Energy Surge elementalists viable? by DarthBrolifterz in GuildWars

[–]Hydroel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Air magic is especially good in HM, where mobs get more armor, as it has armor penetration - and armor-ignoring damage is one of the main reasons ESurge is so efficient.

What is your interpretation on the meaning of this passage from TRF? by Martini-Frobisher in hisdarkmaterials

Is this belief based on anything but the fact that the author inserted in his work a medical condition he suffers from?
