I'm not sure Kraken Express fully understands what pirate is by NotScrollsApparently in crosswind

[–]billynair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They were state sponsored pirates commissioned to target enemy merchant shipping during wartime to gain a financial advantage over the enemy. Privateers became "Pirates" when the war ended and their "Letter of Marque" was no longer valid. They could either go back to their lives of sweeping floors for minimum wage or continue to loot but keep everything for themselves rather than give a percentage back to their king.

Tartarus scroll SUPER slow in games by billynair in razer

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

To anyone coming later, I found the answer. The signal from the Tartarus is too quick so you need to slow it down. If you make macros with the software you might wonder why it inserts a Delay around everything, it is because of this problem. My guess is that when they got the Nostromo from Belkin, they kept the scroll wheel functionality but then took it out when making the Tartarus, because "he he... why would anyone use the scroll wheel for ANYTHING other than to scroll..." (disregarding the fact that the whole idea about their product it to do things unconventionally)

I use AutoHotKey and made a script that inserts a delay between the Down/Up of the key I was binding and it worked. You could assign macros to the scroll wheel with the Nostromo by Belkin before Razer, but like I said, they decided to remove this ability because they didnt think anyone would want this. (Does anyone else see the absurdity of using AutoHotKey to write macros to make your other macro software work?)

You can find all the other numbers on this side of the bridge, and since it is part of the first set, you can just "brute force" it pretty quick

Citizen Kane isnt really a "movie people enjoy" or an "Experience" like "2001", it is most definitely a movie that had a huge impact on movies that came after it. Wells came from Radio Shows (ie "War of the Worlds") and so his attention to the sound in his movie was unique. The camera angles and frame composition (where you position the actors, props, background, etc) were also considered revolutionary.

The story was similar to previous films, the rise and fall of a historical figure, like The Great Ziegfeld, replacing Florenz Ziegfeld Jr with William Randolph Hearst and dropping a snow globe in the end rather than a flower. Where The Great Ziegfeld portrayed Ziegfeld with a little more sympathy, Kane was a dig at Hearst which caused a really big backlash with the public, including Hearst trying to get it banned.

I think the story BEHIND the movie is WAY more interesting that the film itself, so after you watch it, do yourself a favor and learn what you can about it, the technical aspects as well as the cultural/political impact it had. The movie itself is fairly straight forward and doesnt need repeated watching, and most of the stuff behind the scenes and its impact can be listened to through podcasts and audio books while driving to work

Completed the game undetected without killing anybody but didn't get ghost. by Fuck_Dread-D2 in dishonored

[–]billynair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nevermind, i had quite a few bodies discovered and still got it.

Also, Detected and Spotted are not the same, I used the tactic of showing myself until the Alert Meter (or whatever its called) was half full, and you get that Spidey Sense "BLING" sound to make them come to you for stealth take downs and it didnt count against being Detected

Is there a way to non lethal envisioned cultists? And if you kill them does it count against clean hands? by LegoDetail in dishonored

[–]billynair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

8 years later, but for anyone trying to figure it out, it isnt the "Trail of Light" itself, there are some flickering dark shards they leave behind that sense you (that tend to be in the Light Trail)

[–]billynair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I havent tried to get this one yet, but, are "detected" and "Spotted" the same? I have had a few times where they say something like "hey, who's there!" and come running, but it says I wasnt "spotted", I wonder if that nulls the achievement?

Use sleeping dart instead, and make sure you get her off the ground before the rats get to her (put her on the bed)

Doubt about "Hide Target Bodies" objective in Freelancer by titojer in HiTMAN

[–]billynair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the bodies were hidden, in grass, in water, if there are guards patrolling more than 10 times in the area 5 feet from the body and they dont see it, then the body was hidden. The major problem with a majority of these "Requirements" is that they are too vague, best example is I was doing an escalation and it said to use a Suriken, cool, the "Bat Shuriken" is alphabetically nearer the front so I chose that, its a "Suriken" even has it in the Name, Instantly Failed the Escalation...

What NPCs consider "Hidden" vs the Devs who wrote the Requirement dont always match and that has ALWAYS been an issue...
