LOL.  A ball from the. All pit?!  That has to be @targetrasp sarcasm but I'm hoping it's true because that's hilarious... though sucks you had troubles.


Speaking of first world problems... this thread:
Playstation 4 First world problems in Playstation 4 - is it your main console? Thread
#2522
Man.... I found that out and was very annoyed. How did I find this out you ask?  Well... like this.

I love Shadow of Mordor on Playstation 4.  I didn't have the goty version or all the DLC... and I wanted to buy it. I couldn't seem buy it for my version. So I tried to buy the GOTY version that was on super fire sale.   I figured... it was hoping  it would download and combine.  Nope.   So I now have 2 versions ... didn't do the achievements and hadn't touched it because I didn't have the disk space at the time and didn't want to start over.

Now that's   first world problems. Lol

I don't think its me it must be the game cause for me Angus Wharf was always just under 40 seconds and no way I have that time on 2nd XD

It's weird it must be something in the game that keeps saying its 11.60 cause I'm just playing the game normally, when I boot up the game next I will have a look at the time for 2nd street.

Yeah. I don't think it is either because they times changed .... Increased. So on Angus Wharf, you had time of 11.60-11.62.  Then it increased to the 30's.    No way that just happens... especially an increase in time.  I haven't found anyone else having the same issue via Google searches. So not sure what's up with the time's.

Hard to get excited about Glassware... rocks glasses and what not, but I thought these were pretty cool and wanted to share them:

JoyJolt Carre Square Scotch Glasses, Old Fashioned Whiskey Glasses 10-Ounce, Ultra Clear Whiskey Glass for Bourbon and Liquor Set Of 2 Glassware - amazon.com

I'm always on the hunt for cool uniquely made items that are pretty good quality - these seem to fit the bill perfectly.  I'm going to order a set to see how they are.    I dig them... thought I would share.

OK... I accidentally ran into this today at work.  Someone sent me a Goofy Arnold smiling face... as a troll.  So I sent them Sloth's face.

With that said... I accidentally ran into this article and found it pretty funny... so I am sharing the humor today:
60rowsup.Wordpress.com - Sloth Soccer Article

Enjoy... hopefully brings a funny laugh to your Monday.  This will NOT be the only and last Goonies Reference here.

Post it up!

A winner is you!

Yes. Let the freebie flow through you.  Feel the power of your back log.
#2529
LOL... I totally understand that.   Please see the Mention topic - you can turn off the emails for mentions.  Part of my troubleshooting turned them on for all existing members.

Also, I will try to keep the Announcement topics to 1 per week or less... but don't want to do too few as this helps communicate with members that don't frequent.
#2530
SO @targetrasp  good call on the permissions.  There was an additional permission hiding. Go ahead and try again... I think it'll work this time.

Everyone else - in the process of working with this... everyone has mentions now set to notify their emails as well and don't think I can remove it.  IF YOU DO NOT WANT THIS, please go to your profile.  Go to Profile Info --> Mentions.  There is a check box bottom right below your mentions.  This should remove it.   

With that said, I found another group that has a better @mention mod... but we will use this one for now as the other is pay.  This one will work good enough for now as we grow.   The other one allows member group notifications as well as single members... this one only allows single member notifications.

I will continue to look into enhancing the board.  IF there are other suggestions or ideas... feel free to Post up in the suggestions board:

How does fishing work in the game?
You go near a body of water and use the item you use a trap. Then wait until it starts bobbing, then just mash a button until you catch it. As simple as it gets.

Lol almost feel dumb asking that now - I think you just summed up fishing in general.   ;D. I kid I kid. 

I meant is it like the fishing in ocarina of time, Sega bass fishing, or like fishing In Animal crossing?  I saw a couple a couple videos on Dynasty Warriors 9 fishing

The videos make it look pretty simple and basic.  I see what you mean.

Some games just have a satisfying fishing system. You need it for Animal Crossing ... but it's fun having friends/ kids in town and just fishing and hanging out. Ocarina of Time has  pretty satisfying fishing mode. Sounds weird... satisfying fishing mode?  Lol. But in all seriousness... even fishing can be satisfying.

It doesn't seem to work for me in pm's.  See screenshot below this text... you see the code in message edit mode: @targetrasp 
This is after the message is created and then you edit the message.  Do you see the code?
Did you see that mention under the mentions area?

I'm going to check the granular members permissions and also talk to the smf mod creator of there are no other  permissions   

Interesting too as there were no errors installing and works for  me.  Definitely seems like a permissions thing ... now just to find it. 
#2533
Lol  I'm just saying. The usgamer.net was 3 days ago.  This article is 3 days old A well :

EA Admits Defeat  - unlocks heroes and removes pay win mechanics -  extremetech.com

I know the took a huge beating business wise over this.  Plus other gambling type laws are going into effect for pay for crate gambling systems.  I think Hawaii ... not sure if other states are adopting yet.
#2534
Other than the January article... where else are they saying that?  I haven't seen anything as of late.

Lol they better not.

This is #fakenews, you're about 2 months behind. They had temporarily removed microtransactions but they are going to add them back soon.

https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ea-we-believe-in-microtransactions/1100-6456456/
https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2018-01-31-what-ea-is-and-isnt-saying-about-microtransactions-returning-to-star-wars-battlefront-2

This is why I begged Spartan to get the game on Xbox with me about 3 months ago when they had removed the transactions. I've put in a good amount of time on it on the Xbone.
That's not fake news lol. They're originally said they were removing and then gamers proved it was still possible.   According to @SpartanEvolved  and other articles, it was recently fully  removed.  Lots of Ly's there.
#2536
Weird. 

@Kinikko or @targetrasp  or someone.. Would you be able to help me test as well?

@mastermario - try clearing your browser and then try again. 
#2537
@mastermario that's odd... I've got it on mobile and desktop. So when you type @bl you don't get the drop down that lists me and blastmode?  It's a small blue drop down.

I can see it didn't work for you as I dont see your comment under mentions. I also have mine set to email me. 

Did you see anything under profile --> mentions?

Screenshot attatched.

Anyone else have an issue?  Or willing to test

The necromancer expansion was a welcome nostalgic foray into Diablo II days.  I have not had much time to play it lately though.
@Grindspine I forgot. You have this game?  I know your time is pretty limited as well...  we should try to get some D3 going with @targetrasp and @Kinikko  and / or other members.

I've been wanting to get back into this something fierce.  Now just need additional time.
#2539
You bet you can.  Good stuff.

Had Delmonicos again tonight in onions.  Looks almost looks like a heart in a skillet. Lol.

I cook up a whole Vidalia onion with it.  They caramelize a bit and are super tasty.  Gotta like onions though.  Did I say super tasty?
#2540
Wow. Great find. I've not seen those yet.   

So you'll get to play all old and new content made for the system. There's A LOT of old Atari content...  both arcade and console.  The article can't speak on specifics.. But this is very interesting!   Peaks my interest.

I'd love to see a remake of alien versus predator -  the Atari Jaguar version.
#2541
I'm still reading through this and will edit this post.  But no need to apologize for the full review. Good stuff , retro!   Thank you for posting it here.  Keep up the great work.

Edit:   I read the review... good stuff. 1st how did they pull off releasing A Snes game without having to pay royalties?  I looked into this back when I had my business. I wanted to release games on multiple retro platforms -  such as Snes and Atari Jaguar.

2nd - It's very cool (even though not polished as well as it should be)  a game was released for the Snes in 2017.  It really does amaze me. Hats off to them for putting forth an effort. It's also cool to see someone accomplish what I dreamed about many years ago. 

3rd.... Your mentioning of the chip led me to a cool wiki about Snes  chips. There were more types of chips used than I realized. I play to make a topic on this at some point.

Hopefully more people /  companies will try their hand to release games for retro consoles.  I know the Jaguar had some active developers a few years back. I need to look into those again to see if they're still around. If I find the company, I'll post them up.

Good stuff, retro

Progressed in burnout Paradise remastered on ps4... class B license and 50%+ achievements achieved.

Lego lotr Vita - at Gondor now... and got to satisfyingly smack the steward of Gondor in the face whenever he said save yourselves and flee for your lives.

And in Star Wars Battlefront 2 - leveled up a few times in online conquest with @SpartanEvolved

I've just gotten used to using Google, although they have a new policy on images that is annoying (I think you can't download pictures) so if I really need something like that I might use Bing instead.
@Mai Valentine For downloading... I found I can right click and save as instead of the full image link Google used to have.  It seems they did that due to a lawsuit.

I use bing and Google.  There used to be a ton more, but seems most of the Internet has moved to Google and Bing.  Duckduckgo.com has become pretty popular as of late as well.

@targetrasp lol... I forgot about that. They also added ginormous.

OK. So far only Google and Bing.

Happy birthday Snatcher_L. Enjoy your digital cake! @Snatcher_L


#2545
@Kinikko I agree with you.  There's probably a cost to what they do...  which is why they made the decision. However, it sucks to see the Vita losing support. It would be cool if they made an updated version...  Ooooo  mobile 4K lol. 

@targetrasp good call on that. I lost a year of my life there. Thanks for helping me to get it back lol.

This is me being OCD, but why is there a big gap between FB and Twitter buttons?  XD
Lol same here. I think it's normal and even spaced in the main theme. It has something to do with the current them.

Definitely  will look into it lol.  The additional space should be between Google and twitter. Should be same sized space as Facebook to Twitter.

Hopefully this will be handy and of help.
#2547
you will see the buttons on the 1st post.    This will allow you to share posts to your social media accounts.

Hope this helps and comes in handy. 


Post up comments, questions, etc.
#2548
The @mention mod is now installed.  This allows you to notify others via the @ tag.    For example:
@mastermario

This will notify mastermario that I mentioned him in this post.  Once you type @ and start typing a members name, it will auto populate names like Discord and other services.

For existing members, I did not turn on the email option for when you're mentioned / notified

For new members... its on by default like Facebook or Discord.

The messages are only online for 7 day. If you want Emails (or don't want emails) - the setting to turn on/off is in Profile --> Mentions.  There is a check box to turn emails on and off.

Please let me know if there are questions.
#2549
Lol.. Do you feel too many are sent ?   Ie by my announce topics?

I send those periodically to try to let people know stuff is going on and to try too get others back here and posting.

Ah.... NiGHTS Journey into Dreams.  I remember having issues with the controls in this game... it was a good game though.

It appears we had a topic on this at one point  ;D   Delve into the Blast from the past:
Sega's New NiGHTS Game for Wii – Confirmed - spong.com

Also:  nights 2 official - ign.com

So that means... roughly 21 years ago, NiGHTS into Dreams came out on the Sega Saturn.  About 11 years ago... NiGHTS Journey into Dreams made it to the Wii.... I think we are due for another NiGHTS game, no?

Did you buy this game?  What are your thoughts about it?  Has anyone replayed it recently?

Thoughts? Comment?  post it up!
