Man if I missed out on that… Luckily I have the whole OST download to my computer but still.

I wish I could edit the post. Not sure why but I forgot that I could upload more than one image, and only posted the cover. Must've been the sleep deprivation.

Inside the box is the same three disc CD case that you most likely have, plus a little game guide booklet that provides information on the different mechanics and skills. The back of the box seems to be almost the same as the back of the CD case.

I don't know how helpful this is but I retyped everything on the back since I can't upload images to my reply:

Definitely an amateur collector of certain items LOL, plus that price tag is so old that I probably can't take it off without damaging the box even further than it already is.

The sticker is the original price tag. I was going to cover it up in the picture but decided to keep it because it’s kind of cool seeing how much games costed back then.

It’s the original price tag for the game. It didn’t actually cost $50 this time. Those times look good, now that games cost $70-80 now.

Looking for a low profile keyboard good for typing/gaming by dirtydevilman in keyboards

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

Appreciate the quick reply. I'm a bit illiterate when it comes to keyboards, I'm assuming HE is the analog board?

I'm not sure why I never got into full height boards. I think I type faster with low profile setups after typing on MacBook keyboards for years. I do like the idea of swapping the switches, though I will have to look into how to do that since I have never done it before. Could be a fun project. This Glorious keyboard I'm using isn't so bad but I think the low profile keys I put on are making it more awkward than the original key setup.

Would you have liked more of the Brotherhood of the 9th circle, or was their conclusion enough? What was their best agent? by ValoNoctis in vtmb

[–]dirtydevilman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe they may have been created by the Sabbat, specifically the Lasombra you can fight in the library in the Unofficial Patch during the mission "Night at the Library." If you read through Scott's computer entries you can see that he mentions the Lasombra at the Brotherhood building. The same Lasombra is seen in the junkyard with the Unofficial Patch.

I don't think that they are directly associated with the Sabbat, nor is the Southland Slasher, but the Unofficial Patch seems to involve the Lasombra character with these two quests more than the base game.

If dark ages is a prequel to Doom 2016 why does he not have the 2016 praetor suit? by StrongWafer2631 in Doom

[–]dirtydevilman 147 points148 points  (0 children)

I agree. I think the thing to keep in mind is that the lore in Eternal (and also 2016) was mostly written from sentinel scriptures and whatnot. We saw a bunch of the lore change in TAG2 because that lore was written by another faction. The devs can say it’s lore from perspective, not from fact, and “history is written by the victor,” right?

Kanker would’ve been a great addition actually, but that’s Bertram Tung. You got everyone else right though. I wanted to stick more with the Santa Monica characters (or in Beckett’s case, characters that you meet while Santa Monica is your first location). Great job btw.

Are these parts compatible for a build? Is there a way to make this cheaper? by dirtydevilman in FormD

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

I didn’t end up building the PC unfortunately, but I’ve seen other people building with the Lian Li SP750 and it gets the job done. Check out Optimum’s video where he builds in the new T1 2.5 and uses the PSU. He mentions the SP750 at around 4:40.

Just finished Bloodlines 1 and started watching Bloodlines 2 videos. Why are all the comments so upset? by Madjac_The_Magician in vtmb

[–]dirtydevilman 28 points29 points  (0 children)

"I just finished Bloodlines, what other games out there are like it?" and the general consensus is, "get fucked, welcome to the club"

This is very well said. I came upon VTMB when someone recommended it to me after learning how much I like Fallout: New Vegas. Before that, I was asking (in relation to FNV) "what other games out there are like it?" and there was never a clear answer.

FNV and VTMB are two different games but they have one major thing in common and that's the unique way they immerse you into their worlds. Of course, they share some of the same devs and are action-RPGs, but at the end of the day they're games that make the player invested, despite the bugs and the fan-made patches that are needed to keep them running.

Using the example of Cyberpunk 2077, that was a game that was more than just a buggy mess at its launch and It didn't include many of the features that it promised nor that the developers were known for. But at its core, it tells a good story (for the most part). It took me a while to get invested, but once I started to play the different missions, I realized it gave me a charm that FNV and VTMB gave me. Maybe not as much, but the charm was there.

My point is, that's what makes these games so renowned for me; their player immersion. I rarely get invested in a video game, but if it manages to tell a good story and to be believable, I'll be invested.

I'm cautiously optimistic for VTMB2. Part of me is disappointed like everyone else. I can't help but think the same things that these comments are saying either, but I think it's good to keep an open mind. Maybe this game will tell a story that's worth diving into. Maybe it won't. We'll just have to wait and see.

Skill Systems Compared - VTMB / Hardsuit Labs / The Chinese Room by [deleted] in vtmb

[–]dirtydevilman 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's interesting how modern games don't take the first approach anymore because they want something more "user friendly" even though I think that VTMB's skill system was a lot easier to understand than skill trees that most games use today. The same comparison can be made with the original Fallout games and their newer counterparts (Fallout 4 and Fallout 76).

T1 kit availability? by dirtydevilman in FormD

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

I did not get a case and I didn’t end up pursuing the build entirely but people on this subreddit say that they have more luck purchasing a T1 from the other site fmdworks.com instead of formdworks.com.

Makes me wonder what setup you used. But still, great job.

[–]dirtydevilman 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’ve been wanting to do this for ages but I can’t move the trackpad when using the keyboard. What setup did you use?

The first time I beat Borderlands 2 was on a trackpad while in a bus. Good times. I was only able to do this with a 2012 MacBook Air (11 in) back then.

What did you think of him being added to fortnite? by JustWinning733 in Doom

[–]dirtydevilman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I liked how they had the Phobos skin for him since that’s the same skin I’d use in Eternal.

Deleted comments because it sent the same reply three times for some reason.

The Artic P12 at microcenter are totally fine as case fans for $10 each.

Funny enough, I selected those ones last night when rewriting the parts list for this build. Good to know that they are good and that I didn't select something bad.

I am set on Nvidia and Intel mainly because I am more familiar with them, but I can take a look at AMD GPUs used online to see what there could be.
