« on: November 09, 2015, 04:11:31 PM »MY EYE IS NOT A CAMERA DANGBURNIT. That said, it's pretty incredible how amazing Skyrim can look thanks to the modding community and the fact that Bethesda is perfectly content with people modding the shit out of their games. They're one of my favorite companies for that fact alone.
Anyway, I'll see what I can do! I've been playing a shocking amount of Minecraft, Undertale, Grim Dawn, and a bunch of other games that leave my system feeling exceedingly bored, so after I get over that little kick I'll try to find something perdy. I think I might still have a few nearly maxed 4K Far Cry 4 screenies (only thing that wasn't cranked was AA, and my system could only hold around 55fps for those...what a piece of junk!) somewhere...I'll have to look for them at some point.
I concur. I hope the same applies to Fallout 4. I can already see where texture nazi's are going to be going ham. From a couple reviews I looked at the texture resolution is still crap with clothes and certain environmental bits.
Also, I would LOVE to see some FC4 in 4k! I have to keep my MSAA at x4 or lower usually for 50-60fps.

Just bought D3 for Xbox 360 for $20 so my girl and I could play. Been waiting to buy it for a long time. I will get it on PC at some point I imagine.
We've been loving it so far.

« on: August 19, 2015, 12:51:31 PM »Yeah, that is very true.
I do know how it feels to be at one of those zero advancement places. If the place treats you well and has a lot of good benefits it isn't too much of a problem, but if the place already feels soul crushing, going there every day can be a real killer.
Agreed. Forcing yourself to work somewhere that you dread even the thought of going to is not worth any amount of money. I've left a few jobs for that reason. Other opportunities will always present themselves so long as you keep looking.
Good luck Bobbias. Hope it works out for you.
Ian what company do you work for?

« on: July 22, 2015, 11:15:42 AM »I've tried Fraps and OBS.
I use Fraps all the time. I found the reason my frame rate was always getting hit so hard was because I was recording to the same HDD my games were playing off of. Once I switched Fraps to record on my other hard drive the frame rate drop disappeared completely.

I've never been able to play any other way. You should upload some vids and post them of your AAA's

« on: June 29, 2015, 11:43:39 AM »I just said screw it and started from scratch. I've run into that issue before, and it's almost always because of mismatched textures and models. Since most of the model/texture replacers that I used involved a ton of loose files, I figured it would make more sense to just install one mod at a time and test, painful as that may be. I didn't exactly relish the idea of popping everything open in NifSkope, trying to figure out exactly which mod pack it came from, and trying to figure out which files it actually needed.
Not familiar with NifSkope. I use LOOT, BOSS, & TES5EDIT to keep my stuff loading proper. The newest LOOT is incredible IMO. It tells you in good detail exactly which mods are causing which issues and even recommends other mods depending on the issue.
I fooled around with Project ENB a little bit. I looked at Realvision, but it looked a bit too surreal for my liking in the screenshots (if you want to turn me off from a graphics mod, liberally include lens flare in your screenshots...I had enough of that in the late 90s, thank you very much). I'm going to give Vividian a shot...the weather effects in it look gorgeous, and it seems like it's a bit more comprehensive than other ENBs, as it includes a mod as well.
Lol! I <3 lens flare! I wasn't a PC gamer until the last few years so, it's all sexy to me
There is a really good in game menu to adjust the settings however you like (including flare) so it kind of gives me the option to make it like other ENB's by tweaking the built in settings.
I've gotten pretty good at repairing Skyrim when I went through it during my last playthrough, not to mention tweaking some Papyrus scripts to my liking. I was doing so much picking and choosing that I just got fed up and extracted some BSAs and started mixing and matching models.
And yeah, I use SKSE. It's pretty much mandatory if you want to have any fun (even with vanilla! I can't imagine playing without SkyUI).
*Basically, it installs the mod into a directory in its own directory tree. When it comes time to install the mod to your Skyrim/Oblivion/Fallout/whatever directory, copies the files over there. When it needs to uninstall or check to see if another mod is trying to trample on another mod's files, it uses the directory tree that it created to know which files each mod uses. Simple, effective, and it eliminates the biggest issue that NMM has when you need to uninstall and reinstall mods: namely having to wait ages for it to unpack 7-Zip files and doing the install progress all over again. The fact that it's compatible with both FOMOD and BAIN installers (unlike NMM and Wrye Bash, which don't really support each other at all) in addition to simple archives is a huge plus as well.
Seems like you have a much deeper understanding of the process with scripting than I do. I'm inclined to trust your opinion on it. Let me know how that works out.
So I made a GIF of the mod I installed this weekend. It's more immersive and fun than you would think. Seems like they put a lot of work into it.
Azura's Kush ftw
Also, been having way too much fun with chickens....

Whoa that's a pretty wild story. I had no idea you had your own trans experience. Care to elaborate? I have 4 sisters, two of which (my older siblings) are lesbians, and my best friend I grew up with doesn't care about gender so I was kind of raised with that being normalcy for me.
Happy for you. Hope it works out.

« on: June 16, 2015, 10:55:26 PM »I wouldn't go so far as to call it my number 1, but it's definitely up there. It's one of my most played games on Steam, for sure. And it's not that I feel bad about playing it, it's more than I feel bad about neglecting Bloodborne and Mass Effect 3 because LOL SKYRIM.
It does seem like every time I play through it my mod list grows and grows. This time around I've been working on installing about a bazillion graphical enhancements. I ended up getting something a bit wrong, though, since not all of the textures load (oops!). Still a work in progress. After I get that locked down I'll probably make a copy of my data directory (so that I never have to go through that insanity again) and then cram a bunch of gameplay mods on top of that.
I just wish that Bethesda spent more time on the Khajiit and Argonians. They always seem to have armor and weapon clipping issues until the fans fix them up. It's never a huge enough issue that I ever consider dropping them, of course (I've stuck with my kitties and lizards since Morrowind, dammit).
I HIGHLY recommend Realvision ENB if you like realistic ENB graphic mods. It's GORGEOUS but definitely a performance hit. My GTX 770 4GB gets 45fps average, which is actually quite good for an ENB mod active.
I've broken my Skyrim I don't know how many times, so I may be able to help if you ever run into a problem. ENB required some tweaking outside of the data folder. Gopher on Youtube is excellent at explaining installation. I believe Realvision can be installed through the NMM these days though and only minor tweaking is required.
The Realvision page has great instructions also and he give you all the recommended mods for maximum graphical improvement. I presume you have the SKSE launching your Skyrim?
A great tool for checking on errors in your load order is LOOT. Sometimes crashing is just as simple as things not loading in the right sequence. You can use the up and down arrows in NMM to move the load order.
Yeah thank the gods for awesome nerds. They have fixed anything and everything you could need fixed. I at least give them credit for giving users the tools to make that happen.

« on: June 16, 2015, 12:14:05 PM »Been a long damn time, but I got me a partner. It's a weird feeling, honestly has been a super long time. Sex is like, way less important than society tells me it is. Why do they do this? Now laying on the couch together and just talking about whatever bullshit, for some reason, that's just the best part for me.
But idk, I'm an old fucker who's been away from this stuff for too long. New experience to me anyway.
How does society make it a big deal? You mean dumb meatheads like the Jersey shore guys? Entertainment is sexualized for business purposes because it attracts people.
Also, that's awesome! I imagine that's a great feeling. How did you guys meet? How long since your last?
Sex is also different for everyone. To some it's a bigger deal than others. Some folks put a lot of eggs in the sex basket. I did when I was younger because I was the last one in my group of friends to have sex and I got ridiculed HORRIBLY for it (we were all assholes to each other back then). I was 19 when I lost my virginity. I don't know if that had some kind of permanent effect on me but having a good sex life is actually really important to me now, as shallow as that may sound. It doesn't make a good relationship by a long shot as I learned through experience, but I'm very sexually charged so it has kind of become one of my "needs" in relationships. Fortunately I've been with a woman for a year now who shares that notion.
I still feel bad about breaking up with a girl 9 years ago because she wouldn't have sex with me due to religious reasons. She still refuses to speak to me a decade down the road which shouldn't bother me so much but it kind of does.
In the end though you're right when you say about laying on the couch talking about whatever. Deep conversation about anything and everything is like nothing else with a partner. Easily trumps sex. I've had partners who were pretty "simple" and basically incapable of deep conversation. I should have known things wouldn't work out in those instances but I'm a hopeless romantic and always looked for the good no matter what. A detriment that's caused me a lot of pain but I am who I am and I'm ok with that.
