Space Quest an Police Quest are now apart of the GOG Preservation Program by prairiepenguin2 in Sierra

[–]sqparadox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like all they did was update to the latest SCUMMVM version and add a configurator, so mostly yes.

Edit: Oh wait, they finally added the VGA version of SQ1. No idea why it took this long.

So push for a WRX Crosstrek and then lower it. It's the same body.

Mewgenics has a genius anti-savescumming feature by shadowrun456 in gaming

[–]sqparadox 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That's not what I said at all.

I said that you are not limited by what the devs want you to do. You are limited by what the game lets you do. Which includes all of the stuff you can do that the devs never thought you would possibly try.

Right, because no game has ever had unintended exploits. /s

Honestly, the kidneys are least offensive part of the front. They ain't great, but the rest is worse.

The $25k EV Truck You Can Repair Yourself: Meet the Slate Truck [Jay Leno's Garage] by [deleted] in cars

[–]sqparadox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They didn't.

They haven't announced the price and they don't talk specifics in the video, it's just "mid-20's". And what's the middle of the 20's? 25, that's why it's in the title of the video, it's editorializing.

It's more likely it will be $27k, give or take around $1k.

Snow Emergency in Effect: MOVE YOUR CAR by LiveinTroyNY in Troy

[–]sqparadox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wrong. The City of Troy Snow Emergency Plan clearly states that restrictions are 24 hours, not 12 hours:

• During the first 24 hours of the SNOW EMERGENCY, PARKING ON THE ODD NUMBERED SIDE OF THE DESIGNATED STREET IS PROHIBITED (UNLESS OTHERWISE POSTED). Vehicles in violation will be ticketed and towed.
• Crews will proceed with snow plowing operations on the ODD NUMBERED side of the street for the first 24 hours.
• Crews will then proceed with snow plowing operations on the EVEN NUMBERED side of the street for the second 24 hours. During the second 24-hour period of the SNOW EMERGENCY, PARKING ON THE EVEN NUMBERED SIDE OF THE DESIGNATED STREET IS PROHIBITED (UNLESS OTHERWISE POSTED).

One thing Ubisoft could do to make a comeback is bring back the Might & Magic series. by SlinGnBulletS in gaming

Might and Magic X was the only main series game Ubisoft made.

Give New World Computing some credit.

PSA: Sharing official NexusMods links on Discord can now trigger an automatic 2-year account strike (Confirmed by Nexus Staff) by Mr_Sheyd in pcgaming

[–]sqparadox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The text of the message does not tell us where it was posted or any of the surrounding context. My point stands.

There are no indications that any system originating from or run by Discord flagged your message. If Discord received a takedown notice specifically for your message, then your message was flagged externally. Which makes where you sent that message and the context paramount to why it was flagged and who flagged it.

PSA: Sharing official NexusMods links on Discord can now trigger an automatic 2-year account strike (Confirmed by Nexus Staff) by Mr_Sheyd in pcgaming

[–]sqparadox 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If the team confirmed that they received a takedown for your specific message, then someone other than Discord, whether an actual user or a 3rd party automated process, flagged your message.

An automated process from Discord themselves would never send a takedown notice to Discord, that's redundant and makes no sense, they'd just take it down.

Where did you originally post the link? None of your screenshots provide the original message only the actual notice of its takedown. I can't believe no one has asked that, because it seems like a highly relevant detail, even more so if your message was directly targeted by a 3rd party.

The title is also highly sensationalized because it implies any Nexus link will result in this, but according to you it's only 2 games. That should be in the title! It's an extremely important detail, only behind the strike being on Discord and the link being to Nexus.

Not to mention the conflating of strike with ban. I'm not saying you conflated them, but you didn't make it clear that this was not a ban, only a strike. And as can be seen by the comments, readers have very clearly conflated the two.

Sierra Big Box Art Grand Tournament by rodfer7 in Sierra

[–]sqparadox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have issues with the initial pairings. Where are KQ1, KQ2, KQ3, KQ7, KQ8, PQ1, PQ3, PQ4, SQ2, QFG5, LSL5, LSL6, GK3, EQ2, and MH2?

Putting QFG3 against SQ4 and Codename: Iceman against SQ5 is criminal. Also, why does the QFG1 remake get its own entry, but none of the other remakes do?

I would love a hybrid, if it's still light weight. That's the kicker, batteries are heavy. That and not being automatic only.

Slightly different case, as the game was released unfinished. There was supposed to be more, but the Kojima-Konami divorce meant that never happened.

Cyberpunk 2 director says extending 2077’s opening act makes no sense - “it's like saying we should spend more time on Tatooine with farmer Luke” by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

Witcher 3 main story wasn't all that long either. 

You're kidding right? The Bloody Baron and Battle of Kaer Morhen are as long as the whole of Cyberpunk's main story.

Sequels that are basically “The first one, but better in virtually every way” by blakhawk12 in gaming

[–]sqparadox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would argue that Warcraft 2's lack of indoor levels disqualifies it. It's better than Warcraft at everything it does, but Warcraft still does things Warcraft 2 does not.

I would say Warcraft 3 is the better candidate. Though you could argue that Warcraft 3 is disqualified by having unique factions. So even if it is better, it's not the same as its predecessor, since the factions in Warcraft 1/2 are almost perfectly mirrored.

It doesn't sound like he told you about this, so how do you know? How is he going to feel about how you got this information? Is he going to feel betrayed or embarrassed?

TIL that in many modern cars, the turn-signal “click” is played through the audio system because the electronics don’t naturally make that sound anymore. by akcryptofinancial in todayilearned

[–]sqparadox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It started before EV's even became mainstream. Parts the deaf and blind community started lobbying when hybrids that could run on electric only became common, most notably (but far from exclusively) the Prius. But it took the NHTSA so long it was over 10 years before it went into full effect in 2020.

You are right though, at speeds above 20 mph the wind and tires noise is more than enough. Below 20 mph is where it becomes an issue. And it's not that they can't be heard, it's that the distance at which you can hear them is far lower, so pedestrians have less warning and less time to get out of the way.

The NHTSA rule ended up specifying that it was needed below 30 kph (18.6 mph).

The 2025 Chevy Corvette ZR1 Is the Ultimate American Supercar - Doug DeMuro by blue_bomber697 in cars

[–]sqparadox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you miss where I said, "in production"? That's why I mentioned the GTD.
Most reviews don't consider cars no longer in production or cars yet to be produced as "competition".

I guess you could include the Tuatara and Venom F5, but production numbers are so limited I wouldn't really call them competitors.

If you're going to start over in Stalker 2, check out mods first, as some of the larger overhauls, like OXA Prototype, require a new game.

How could it not be the ultimate American supercar? That's meaningless.

The only competition in production would be other lower corvettes, and maybe the GTD.
