    What are your thoughts on paid mods?

    I'm presuming grey area. Something new comes around, people sue each other over it, judges try to figure out what to do according to existing law, lawmakers adjust laws if the judges aren't ruling the way they want, people sue each other more, repeat a few times until "settled law."

    Battletech Advanced is moving along. I've got a hover tank that's... iffy. It doesn't have jump jets so it can't go over cliffs and can't go through forests at all, either. Occasionally, the poor thing will set down right in a forest. At first, I thought it would be stuck forever, but...

    As retirement closes in, I'm getting a little worried about AI. We've already seen AI can make forum posts and read books. How long until AI learns to play video games and maybe watch some TV? I'm going to get pushed out of retirement by AI - I just know it!

    I can see the difference between 1080 and 1440 (2K), but only if I'm looking pretty carefully at a 27" screen. I'm dubious 4K will even make much difference at 32", and those monitors are already getting really pricey at 2K.

    Notable Sales, Games (Ongoing)

    https://store.steampowered.com/app/617480/Tower_of_Time/ It gets a bit repetitive by the end, but you'll still have fun for several hours and you'll get to see a new twist on real time with pause: the slowing of time. It makes for an interesting cross between turn-based and real-time. And...

    Battletech. Career mode has practically no talking. Campaign mode has some at the start and after the main quest battles, but not much and you get a story to follow. XCOM style battles. Awesome (with 3 PPCs)! You got through the dreaded Jeep Ride exposition dump - with musical interludes...

    What are your thoughts on paid mods?

    Me, too - but it isn't like it's working now. Oh yeah - jeez, that opens up a big can of worms with late updates. Say you've got a game that has a bunch of paid mods. It has been out for a couple of years now and hasn't been updated in one year. Then it gets an update, which breaks some of...

    I just stick a balloon on him and let him wake up on the C-130, or whatever is picking them all up. Needless to say, I went into that technology as much as I could. D-Dog! Naaaah. She must have seen your cute D-Dog and decided to let you win. Balloons rock! Errr, as long as the tank crew...

    What are your thoughts on paid mods?

    Mixed. Plus: people on average will work a lot harder on a mod if they are going to get paid for it. You could even get companies that work exclusively on modding games! Minus: people are going to be far less willing to share. Using somebody else's paid mod in your paid mod is going to mean...

    That might be a source thing. Is the music in 5.1, or is it stereo? I know all my music is stereo (at best). Desktop sounds are just .wav files, which are mostly mono or stereo. It could be that older versions of Windows just checked to see if you were in mute or mono, found that you...

    Huh? Windows 11 still supports 5.1 surround sound. Are you talking about some headphone option, @Colif?

    When I maximize that to fill my screen and turn off the lights in my room, it seems about right. I presume the game takes place after nearly all city lights have been extinguished.

    Using CoPilot to Adjust Your Game

    I would be afraid of just dropping an .ini in there without reading every bit of it. Heaven only knows how much of CoPilot's info is from old versions, or possibly even different games entirely. I would definitely back up the .ini and the save files first. P.S. Sometimes .ini settings from...

    Sometimes in the opposite way. If a game is marginally good and you expect it to be great, you'll be unhappy. If it's marginally good and you expect it to be weak, you'll be pleasantly surprised. I heard bad stuff about Batman: Arkham Knight and Arkham Origins, especially the later, but found...
