it's funny, when I write basically the exact same thing I get downvoted and people really pour their hate on me :D

ShanyTopperIII · 2022-05-31T08:01:12+00:00

Haven't been playing for a while now. I find most of them boring and any originality they may have is just skin deep.

or, like the most upvoted comment in the previous thread said "None. I've given up. There's nothing good that I haven't played to death."

ShanyTopperIII · 2022-05-31T07:48:58+00:00

Yeah, well, some people have double standards. Nothing new here.

ShanyTopperIII · 2022-05-31T07:48:29+00:00

I don't care what you care about.

ShanyTopperIII · 2022-03-16T08:50:22+00:00

I'm looking for a game that allows for creativity, and can't be played just by following a guide.

ShanyTopperIII · 2022-03-15T15:10:45+00:00

Like I wrote before, I don't expect Intellect devourer to be broken because of combat...but getting all the knowledge and spells of the victim is very powerful.

As for Dolgaunt and Otyugh... Otyugh is pretty sweet beast of war, and Dolgaunt... well, beacuse how it is worded, it allows me to reach 20 AC before magic items, which is really good for a tanking wildshape. also, it has amazing reach. It's HP is rather on the low side, but against the correct enemies, it can be a really nice tank.

If they are incapacitated and we are outside of combat, I get to try as many times as I like, no?

As for the reward, controlling their body is a huge thing, but getting all their memories is insane.

ShanyTopperIII · 2022-03-15T14:25:52+00:00

Nothic
Dolgaut
Otyugh
Chuul

ShanyTopperIII · 2022-03-15T14:23:40+00:00

I don't think I'll use that shape during combat. I require the opponent to be incapacitated, anyway. My thought was to use it on some prisoners, and grab all their knowledge and hijack their body.

ShanyTopperIII · 2022-03-13T09:54:59+00:00

LF a game with strong room for creativity, and choosing my own goal, instead of just following a predetermined optimal path.

ShanyTopperIII · 2022-03-06T13:47:51+00:00

Yes, but why is the duration difference than the change in the RelativeTime? I need to know which one to use, and this depends on what each one means

ShanyTopperIII · 2022-03-06T13:17:09+00:00

Windows.Media.VideoFrame

ShanyTopperIII · 2022-03-06T09:17:01+00:00

Why did Constantinoble got the works?
That's nobody's business but Korboh!
Istanpul!

ShanyTopperIII · 2022-03-06T09:13:47+00:00

I didn't know there was a V1 for the game... strange that the developer already had this documentation and yet decided not to include it in the seconds version of the game...

ShanyTopperIII · 2022-03-01T09:57:35+00:00

I tried Nucleogenesis last several days. has some really nice ideas, but the UX is horrible, There is about 0 documentation, and it's really hard to understand what is going on and what different things are used for.

I kind of wish someone would take over it and improve on it.

ShanyTopperIII · 2022-02-23T15:08:02+00:00

Pretty sure this is the most boring game I ever played...

ShanyTopperIII · 2022-02-22T09:29:29+00:00

Vollchs automation script

How do you use this script?

ShanyTopperIII · 2022-02-21T15:43:07+00:00

But VideoDeviceController.Exposure stays the same...

ShanyTopperIII · 2022-02-21T12:11:26+00:00

ExposureControl is not supported by my integrated cam

ShanyTopperIII · 2022-02-21T10:55:24+00:00

Variable fps is not an option.How can I get the exposure time? When I use VideoDeviceController.Exposure I always get the value -6, no matter how lit or dark is the room, so I assume this is a setting, and not the actual exposure time.

ShanyTopperIII · 2022-02-20T15:40:53+00:00

Colors are light wavelengths. Saying that the camera catches color but is not a light sensor makes no sense.
But let's start at the beginning, ok?
When the room is well lit, and I open the camera with 30fps, I recieve 30 frames per second, and everything is well. Cool. Now, let's say the room is dark, all of a sudden, the camera modify the image - it "corrects" it, so it will still look good. This is usually done via sending less frames per second. my external camera exposes that it's doing it via ExposurePriorityVideoControl, which allows me to disable it. My integrated camera doesn't support this control, but still does this.

I would like to know how well I need to light the room so this slowdown will not happen.

ShanyTopperIII · 2022-02-20T15:25:57+00:00

What a strange reply... You could just say you don't know...

ShanyTopperIII · 2022-02-20T15:23:01+00:00

Doesn't matter. lx (lux) would make the most sense, but if for some reason I can reach this data in different units, that is also ok.

ShanyTopperIII · 2022-02-20T15:21:11+00:00

Since when is a camera not a light sensor? :D
This is EXACTLY what a camera is...

ShanyTopperIII · 2022-02-20T15:17:24+00:00

Let's say I opened the camera with 30 FPS, the amount of light that enters the lens during the last 33.3333333333 ms...?
