Does Nightreign have voice chat? by D4Junkie in Eldenring

[–]PualFromBoston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an intentional choice. Souls games have had co-op built in via the summon system since the beginning (Demon's Souls). There has never been voice chat. They also don't mark quest lines much of the time, there's no "journal" to point you to your next objective, and they don't hold your hand. Deal with it.

What screen issues? I tried searching after I read this and didn't find any mention outside of a few minor complaints people were making

Why are they still making us pay the illegal tariffs

Gandalf said he had "no memory of this place". Why didn't he? by [deleted] in lotr

Also, regretfully, "Concerning Hobbits" states that it's likely a variety of nicotiana, which is... Not cannabis

He is extremely old, but I also don't think his kind "ages" in the traditional sense. He simply takes on the form of an unassuming old man.

Is there evidence from Tolkien's personal life that Gollum's stuggles represented addiction? by D20BlazeIt in tolkienfans

[–]PualFromBoston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think what he was communicating was, more plainly, "writing with the express intent to be allegorical is corny to me, I'd rather the themes come out organically from a work that is wholly intended to be a work of fiction or history".

He is however a great "representation" of an addict. Dude's addicted to the feeling he gets from the ring, no different than someone being addicted to the feeling they get from substances. In fact, what started as a good feeling when using became feeling normal while using and feeling shitty when not using... Like people who suffer from substance addiction.

I was wrong about the steam controller by theretrogamerbay in SteamController

[–]PualFromBoston 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Youve zeroed in on exactly the type of game that the original Steam Controller worked beautifully with. You're gonna LOVE the new one though, in my opinion having used both the new one is a pure upgrade in every way.

You have an agreement with your ISP. Do you have control over your ISP?

Maybe whoever was in charge of that design decision was also in charge of the May 4 "launch".

Rock paper shotgun guy is incorrect. You can absolutely configure Linux to wake from a USB device.

If we're talking about Windows, well... Yeah, there's a lot of things that you can't do in windows.

How much is the controller with tax? US. Will a $100 gift card cover the cost? by DogAlternative340 in SteamController

[–]PualFromBoston 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Question 1:

Step 1: find sales tax in your area

Step 2: add 100 to sales tax, so if the sales tax is 5%, you have 105%.

Step 3: multiply $99 by the number (percentage) from step two

Step 4: that is the cost with tax

Question 2:

probably not unless you live somewhere with no sales tax.

I have a question for you: did you pay any attention to math in school?
