I've got one of the adapters. The overall decline in performance of my 3D Pro is what's initiated this search to begin with. But given how many functions you need to have control over in modern space and flight sims, I'm trying to find a way to get an accurate, standalone stick with more than 10 fun...

Avder

All we need to do is prove the existence of and learn to manipulate the graviton and perhaps we can one day make an actual Back to the Future Part II style hoverboard.

Avder

Allright, so, anyone with modding experience know how hard it would be to take half or all of the base buttons on the base of the T16000M and add them to the stick somehow? I'm dead serious. No one makes the standalone stick I want so I think I'm just gonna get the tools to mod it and make it myself.

Avder

Tried the Logitech. I really, REALLLLLLLY wanted to like it, but there were just too many things wrong with it. The good: Nice, heavy base Throttle had a good feel to it, despite being very small Buttons felt nice Handle was very comfortable The bad: One of the base buttons did not work reliably The...

Avder

That gave me some insight, but still there's surprisingly little about accuracy around center. Basically imagine trying to line up a mass driver shot from 20kilometers away and you see why I need absolute precision. Might end up giving the Logitech 3D Pro a shot, since it's cheap and a store in town...

Avder

My old 3D Pro has more or less bit the dust, so I'm looking for replacement suggestions. My main concern is accuracy around the center for tiny adjustments. That basically means I want a stick that both has no deadzone and has a physical mechanism that centers it perfectly. Don't care if it's a budg...

I'm still wondering just how the hell it works. It violates established scientific laws and no one knows how.

Absolutely fascinating to know that there's something big involved and this drive is the first clue we've got about it.

Avder

Hm, I never actually knew the level 12 boss had an immunity to energy.

Avder

If you look at Pluto's "heart" it looks a lot like Pluto, the Disney dog, in profile.

What do you guys make of that coincidence?

I wonder how much of the surface will be completely different the next time we send something to view Pluto.

Avder

Maybe we can petition Google and Apple to flash a "turn your phone horizontal!" reminder to people when they hit the video record button.

I'm serious.

Avder

Well, part of my intent when I started running stuff a few years ago was to increase interest in it, and I seem to have succeeded.

Bravo, you've blown everything I've done on those levels out of the water.

Avder

In other words, ideally, you slingshot with Jupiter, and then brake using Uranus or Neptune. So that route should be available in a few hundred years or something? Would love it if someone could actually crunch the numbers on just how hard it would be to put a probe in orbit of Pluto-Charon. I'm th...

Avder

Wish it was feasible to put a probe in orbit of pluto-charon. Unfortunately I have to imagine that decelerating the probe would be a huge problem.

Speaking of orbiters, when are we gonna put one around Uranus or Neptune?

Avder

Thats sad.

I was doing cold start insane runs a few years ago. I should get back to that and finish those. I think I've got half the game done? I saw your 22nd level on youtube long time ago. Nice work there. Eh, that one's okay. I think my level 6 5:43 run is my favorite of my few published runs. I've watche...

Avder

This is still too long. So instead of actually respond to any of my posts, you're just gonna pull out the old tl;dr gag? What does that say about you, as a person, isaac? You don't seem interested in any sort of actual discourse here. You seem like you wanna be the spoiled child who thinks he's ent...

Blah blah blah blah I don't know if you're talking to me or not, but I skipped the wall of text. http://krom.sploitz.com/DBB/read.jpg I don't wanna!!!

Going "boo hoo people are being mean" shouldn't mean ★■◆● to a moderator. Issac, I'm sure that if you were on the receiving end of it or seen people close to you on the receiving end, your perspective would be different. Who isn't on the receiving end of it? If I'm fighting with someone t...

This is complete bull★■◆●.

Sometimes I find E&C amusing when I take a step back, but most of the time I'm just mildly annoyed by it. Led by Will Robinson and woodchip a group of regulars endlessly argue against their idealized version of Democrats/Liberals which are so perfectly Evil that the Devil himself would blush at...

Avder

I think the best sci-fi to be had these days is in the video game industry, myself.

Anything promising on TV dies after half a season due to budget, the fact that the audience is more inclined to watch on DVR vs live, or simply being on FOX.

Avder

I don't see how I called you a jerk. The only person I've called a jerk in this thread is isaac for that lame image he posted as a weak dig against moderators. And you certainly do have a point as far as the old multiplayer drama vs the current E&C drama. So what would you have done differently ...

Avder

True. I was referring to episodes 4 - 6. Those are the most memorable and best ones. I think that Lucas had some sort of brain fart when he did 1 - 3. The main difference between the original trilogy and the prequels was that during the original trilogy, Lucas had people around him who were willing...

Avder

I got the last two right. Almost had the first one right.

But seriously, he thought Edmonton was in Ontario? Winnipeg in Saskatchewan? Come on, man.

Avder

As far as I know the final boss is completely immune to energy weapons. Boss immunities are a pain in the ass at some points in D2. The level 20 boss is immune to impact weapons I believe. The only thing guass and missiles do, if I recall, is make him spawn in cloaked lifters or something. Smart mi...

Avder

This thread didn’t go toxic until Vader (a former E&C user) stepped in and started insulting us. I stepped in because I think the whining about over-moderation in a completely under-moderated forum is outright laughable. Oh, and that silly image that isaac posted is really nice and insulting to...

Avder

This is utterly hilarious. You think the E&C mods are overly controlling? Not all. But a few, yes. (edit, took a look at who mods there) I didn't read the rest. It was a bit too much "blah blah". edit: Took a look to see who was their. Jeff is awesome. The others, unnecessary. I see F...

Avder

This is utterly hilarious. You think the E&C mods are overly controlling? What a joke. The amount of personal attacks they let you bickering blockheads get away with in the E&C is so laughable that you may as well call it no moderating. The only thing the mods are guilty of in there is incon...

Avder

Sounds like the sound some kind of stuck valve would make as its forced open and metal rubs against metal, slowed down to 50% or less of realtime, partially looped, and overdubbed. Some of the videos out there are obvious fakes as the ambient noise is monaural while the sky noise is in stereo, and v...

Avder

If you're gonna do D2 with D1 weaponry, should probably leave the D1 arsenal nerfed. Otherwise it's not that big of a difference in firepower. Also the difference in D1 Q4 vs D2 Q6 is 52 vs 50 iirc. Plasma still does the same. The challenge is in the fact that lasers are now your biggest damage deal...

Avder

Are there going to be multiple architectures available? Peer to Peer is good for pickup games and LANs, but it would be good to have client-server available too.

It's easy to be a back seat moderator. Some people call for us to moderate more strongly, and yet others think we moderate too strongly (hence the creation of this thread after all). I serve the people who post here, and for better or for worse, the people who post here now aren't the same people w...

All I want is a singleplayer campaign with a spreadfire cannon and robots I can actually hit on Ace/Insane unlike in D3 where killing a single robot is a 2 minute dogfight because of how small and agile the robot is.

Avder

I feel like I ought to weigh in on this. I don't post actively on this forum very often anymore. For the most part it's dead and I can see what's been going on by slipping in every month or two and looking at the PTMC cafe. I used to post actively in the E&C section. When last I posted in there,...

Looks like I'll be going after a TI.

Avder

Well if I were to go with another ATI card, what one would I need to get to get equivalent performance compared to the 4850? an R9 270X, same price range as the 750 TI, faster, louder, hotter, and more power hungry than the 750 TI. Yeah that's another good point. What are the power requirements of ...
