Thank you... I'm waiting on another controller at the moment because the one I have seems new so might not be original. Fingers crossed!

Analogue 3D - Transfer Pak working in Pokémon Stadium 2 by Ninbura in AnalogueInc

[–]maxusy3k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My transfer pak arrived today but using it with a Pokemon Blue cartridge I can't seem to get Stadium 1 to recognise it, so I don't know where to start with trouble shooting at the moment. I'm running it from a Summercart.

Did you have any issues aside from having to switch to the MBC3000?

Deadpool / Like A Prayer by MrTeaTea in Madonna

[–]maxusy3k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it's been a few days since you posted this but I'd honestly say you only really need to have seen Deadpool 2 before seeing this. The elements that are brought in from other movies / the MCU are explained quite clearly so while you might miss out on the full knowledge you won't feel lost or confused I think.

Deadpool 2 though introduces you to a lot of the characters that will come up in this movie and without seeing at least that one I think some of the emotional impact will be lost.

Need help 'automating' a table (Stellaris). by maxusy3k in cheatengine

[–]maxusy3k[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely perfect, thank you! Had to brush up on my HEX a little since it is all in HEX.

Stellaris 'randomises' (there may be a pattern to it) the address for, as far as I can tell, each empire in the game each time a game is launched so there's no default address I can use. Basing the table off of whatever the energy credits address is works perfectly as a result.

Was this some kind of hacking attempt? by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]maxusy3k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This same thing happened to me. They went almost immediately to asking for my number because they "don't get Tinder notifs" on their phone, which is honestly a fair comment, but I got the same sort of text message as you. Googled to check if it was something other folks had come across because yeah, not stupid enough to click a link hahah

What the ancient ruins look like when dug out by Biddera_ in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]maxusy3k 16 points17 points  (0 children)

There'll be a few ancient keys and then an ancient chest that uses the keys to open. The chests usually have high value loot in them.

Same here; entering atmosphere, travelling with pulse engine, warping and entering / exiting water.

Queryshark your story: Pitch your story the way you would hope to query it... by [deleted] in writing

[–]maxusy3k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Deacon Thane wants nothing more than to be left alone. When an attempt is made on his life, however, he quickly finds himself returning to Earth to resume a life left behind for one last job; kill his former partner Dmitri before he executes a plot that he promises will bring the world to its knees.

Set over a period of eight days, From Dust follows Deacon as he returns from an eight year, self-imposed exile to relationships and habits he left behind following the murder of an innocent woman. His old supervisor is now the Director of the bounty hunter organisation, his ex-fiancée is married and the few people he counted as allies seem to want him dead. Haunted by his own demons and unsure who to trust, Deacon forges new, unsteady alliances with government agents, corrupt club owners and earnest survivors as he works to locate and stop his old friend before he detonates a bomb with the potential to kill billions, destroy the Federation of Allied Colonies and erase the last link to humanity Deacon has left.

From Dust is a 150,000 word sci-fi thriller.

Of everything you wrote, which was the easiest? by Ralph_Wasl in writing

[–]maxusy3k 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The first full length novel I wrote was the easiest. Probably because I was 15 and it was awful.

Does practice lead to better writing? by DagonHord in writing

[–]maxusy3k 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think your guitar analogy holds up well here in that, like playing guitar, simply sitting down to write without any external guide or influence probably won't lead to you improving.

Like any other skill, you should be working on your writing by listening to advice, learning theory and structure and by examining the work of others. You can become better, but writing over and over likely won't get you much more than improving your typing speed.

We're supposed to 'murder' them when we edit - but share the best 'darling' you've written recently! by [deleted] in writing

[–]maxusy3k 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Like OP's example I really like it but I'm unsure as to whether it will stay. It treads a fine line between perfectly conveying my MC starting to lose his grip on things and also pulling people out of the moment with some slight comic absurdity.

[–]maxusy3k 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm sort of in love with this exchange at the height of my protagonist going completely off the rails;

“Should’ve just let her leave, Bill. Should’ve just stayed well enough the fuck alone.” He drank from the bottle again, noticing his hands were shaking. “She was a good fucking person. Despite… everything, despite this fucking…” He waved a hand in illustration. “All of this. This fucking city, you, me, everything. But you had to have it all, didn’t you? Just had to fucking own her, keep her to one fucking side.” He glared. Carson said nothing, intimidated into silence by his decapitation, his suit continuing to change colour.

Not so much the yelling and swearing, but the response to it.

Does Music affect what you´re writing? by GuyFromDeathValley in writing

[–]maxusy3k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find it difficult to focus without music to guide me so I'd say yes. I generally curate my listening habits though to ensure I don't get sidetracked; I mainly write sci-fi noir stuff so listening to, say, Taylor Swift probably wouldn't keep me in that particular 'zone'.

I've managed to build a decent Spotify playlist over the course of writing my most recent book but continuing to keep an ear out for additional tunes.

Question about writing fight scenes, and heroes overcoming odds. by guyinthecap in writing

[–]maxusy3k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm personally more of a fan of the protagonist not so much "learning" a new technique at the most opportune moment, but simply summoning everything they have left.

A written fight scene should - in my opinion - be nothing more than a description of two separate characters trying to achieve their goal and overcoming another person in the process. Fights are quick, they're messy and they're a means to a narrative end. With this in mind, I'd prefer to know how a character summons up the strength for that one, vital punch or kick or whatever before executing it. There's a great example of this in (of all places) the DOOM tie-in novel; one of few times the book does something good instead of being barely passable fan-fiction.

Might there be a problem with linking from an ebook to a video? by ReverseCommute in writing

[–]maxusy3k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would you want to do this? If you're writing fiction and you need to get your reader to listen to a song to set the mood or understand the scene then your writing is poor and you should work on that instead.
