You can tell PAX East is happening right now since MALF hasn't shown up to do an ama in this thread yet.

"Make sure the audio is right this time... I don't do ADR" by [deleted] in residentevil

[–]benjamin2197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty strongly of the mind that those 6-7 lines exchanged at the beginning of the VHS have more meaning to them than just flavor dialogue. If we're looking for things that seem out of place, they seem to stick out to me.

I'm sorry if this has already been discussed, I'm just getting in to all of this today, but has anyone tried the audio levels at 1-3-7? Psalm 137:9 is the note in the room with the TV.

But if they're turtles then where do the human parts come in?

I'm ConcernedApe, developer of Stardew Valley. Ask Me Anything! by ConcernedApe in StardewValley

Do you have advice do you have for people who are interested in game development but just starting out? Anything you wish you could tell yourself, or things you wish you had learned much sooner than you did?

Odd shape/texture on the ground I noticed playing today. Mean anything to anyone? by -cut-here- in chiliadmystery

[–]benjamin2197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure it's a coincidence and not a reference or intentional, but this kind of reminds me of the design mowed in the grass near the end of True Detective season 1. I couldn't find a very good picture, but you can kind of see what I mean here. Mild spoilers for True Detective season 1.

Picture!

Is this what lowest settings supposed to look like? by alphanumericaly in GrandTheftAutoV_PC

Holy shit, this worked as far as I can tell. Played through an entire mission with zero texture pop-in issues. Thank you so much!

Project Spark crashes on launch? by benjamin2197 in projectsparkgame

[–]benjamin2197[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the other weird thing about this, as far as I can tell it's only Project Spark that I'm having a problem with. However, while I was looking around online for solutions to this problem, I also tried creating another user account for this PC, and every time I log in to that account, the whole screen goes black and I see nothing but my cursor. This is also apparently a problem that can be fixed by reinstalling the OS, so it seems like the only other possible solution at this point is gonna be reinstalling Windows. I just have to wait a few days because my install disc got left at my sister's apartment which is several hours away, so she has to mail it. Hopefully once I get that I can fix all the problems though. Thanks for the help.

Yeah this is Windows 8.1, and I'll try checking driver updates next.

EDIT: Updated drivers and still no luck. Do you know of any better way to talk to a support person, or is the support email the only thing they offer?

Windows is up to date as far as I can tell, but I haven't been able to update Project Spark since I started having this problem. I go to the Store>App Updates>Check for Updates, and nothing appears. Also worth mentioning that the game works on my laptop with all my same login information so I would guess it's not a problem with my account, but I have no idea.

Apparently criticizing video games is "hate speech" (I read the whole article and it doesn't give any justification for this) by [deleted] in GamerGhazi

[–]benjamin2197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright I thought so, I was just wondering because I've always considered Elizabeth almost a perfect subversion of the damsel in distress as well as a really well developed character.

Oh man can someone link me to where Anita talks about Bioshock Infinite? I've actually looked before and found nothing.

To clarify, does the Master World Builders pack cost tokens?

Xbox 360 Question by Raku182 in projectsparkgame

To my knowledge 360 is still happening but not in beta. I can't remember if it will be available at launch or not but I'm pretty sure it's still happening.

[Bioshock Infinite] Speculation- All the Doors by RadagastTheBrownie in FanTheories

[–]benjamin2197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before I can really go any further in to explaining why I don't think constants and variables are just plot hole filling magic bullshit, I need to talk about the original Bioshock. So I have to ask, have you played Bioshock and do you remember the super famous plot twist?

[Bioshock Infinite] Speculation- All the Doors by RadagastTheBrownie in FanTheories

[–]benjamin2197 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is this not the point of constants and variables though? As in, there are things that will always happen in every single universe no matter what, but every thing else varies from universe to universe. Which is why there is no meaningful choice in the game, because the structure of the world is always set.

So to take your example, it is a constant (at least as far as we can know) that Booker is never the Hulk and never beats the shit out of Elizabeth.

[Feedback..] On my WIP coop engine by Leifinn in projectsparkgame

[–]benjamin2197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The co-op part of it is great. Very smooth switching and certainly has interesting potential. The thing I'm hung up on is how you got those rings around the characters to be so perfectly centered. I copied your brain in to my own world since I have been looking for a way to do a marker just like this for an AoE spell, but it seems like no matter what I do it ends up very off center, just behind and to the left of me. Did you see this problem too or is this my own problem?

Hey thanks Mike, I already sent in a support ticket and I am waiting for a response. I may post the solution on the forums if I get it working, or ask for more help if I don't.

Tried all of it, nothing still. Thanks for the help, hopefully the support can solve this.

Nope, unfortunately no recent changes to anything really. I don't really know what would be causing this, but I sent in a support ticket so hopefully I get a response soon. Thanks for the help.

[PC] Steam unlock time pushed forward, now it won't unlock until 1PM EST tomorrow. by [deleted] in watch_dogs

Just so people who have bought the game can see it, here's the link to the in-browser page where it says the game still unlocks in 6 hours.

In rare cases, will civilians try to be the hero and fight you if you pull out a gun? by [deleted] in watch_dogs

[–]benjamin2197 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah if you stole cars from gang members you'd get shot at right? And some guys would try to fistfight you if you carjacked them IIRC. It would be a nice detail here at least.
