Games / Event[0] - Me, Myself, and an AI

« on: September 15, 2016, 11:22:57 PM »

In a world where humankind has embraced artificial intelligence, you are stranded on an abandoned spaceship.
Event[0] is a game about building a personal relationship with a machine.
You type messages into a computer, and Kaizen answers. As in any relationship, you experience gratitude, disappointment, and sometimes jealousy. It is by working through fears and anxieties of your virtual companion that you will find your way back to Earth.

Got this game yesterday and I gotta say I love it.
It's $20 on Steam, which I can say was well worth the experience. It's got an Aliens technology vibe to it, as in the high-tech in it feels like it comes out of a vintage 70s/80s Sci-Fi. It also draws big inspiration from 2001: Space Oddysey (I wonder why)

You're a flight engineer sent on a mission to land on Europa, a moon of Jupiter. You get separated from the rest of your crew when there is a catastrophic failure on the ship, the escape pod sending you out into the void of space, failing to hail any of your comrades.
Thankfully, there is one ship nearby, an abandoned vessel called the Nautilus. It's only inhabitant is an AI called Kaizen. Perhaps you could get home from there.
Something about communicating with this AI, it was really cool. It's not like a regular dialogue where you would have like four options, you can ask it whatever you desire, worded however you type it. Sure, sometimes the AI falls flat on its face and can be hard to communicate what you want with it. However, there are moments where it feels real, and those moments made this game well worth it for me.

Have some screenshots:

Off Topic / My computer doesn't work without two monitors plugged in

« on: May 26, 2016, 08:16:32 AM »

So I guess I have a unique problem.
I'm going to college sooner or later, and I had been thinking about bringing my desktop to set up in my dorm. They provide a desk in the room, and a couple of other things, but I'm almost sure that both of my monitors that I have hooked up to my desktop will not be able to fit.
You might think, "okay, just unplug one and bring only one. Problem solved right?"
Well not exactly. Last time I tried to get it to work with only one monitor, it refused to display anything when I tried to start it back up.
I've googled this again and again and can't find anything, I was hoping one of you guys might know what to do

If something is unclear, ask and I can try to answer

Off Topic / Do you think a modern society could have a pantheon of gods?

« on: March 31, 2016, 03:24:49 PM »

I was thinking about this when I visited Italy over Spring Break, and couldn't help but wonder what you guys would think; could a modern first world society even have a pantheon of gods?

And by that I mean the traditional scope of gods and goddesses like ancient Roman and Greek times. So, in the same way that the Romans had a god for war, and that some Emperor's children or relatives could be committed to the pantheon as gods or goddesses, do you think the same could even exist in a first world setting?

Games / What are some good couch-multiplayer PC games?

« on: June 04, 2015, 02:45:43 PM »

I know, PC and couch are not synonymous but I'm having some friends over sometime soon and I'd like to know what are some games for PC that can have multiple people playing on the same computer if I hook it up to a widescreen TV. Portal 2 is a given, and I have Gang Beasts. Do you guys know of any other good ones?

Help / All colors inverted after GPU change; ONLY blockland

« on: April 22, 2015, 07:13:47 PM »

I recently went from a Nvidia GTX 650 2 GB DDR6 to Zotac GTX 750 Ti 2 GB DDR5. However after the recent change i noticed only blockland had something strange happening. All the colors are inverted. TF2 isn't doing this, any ideas?

Modification Help / Vehicle Scale similar to "PlayerScaleFull": Need a coding check

« on: January 30, 2015, 12:40:53 PM »

I can't tell if this will work out from my current computer. I can't test it from this because it's a stinkin chromebook. This is heavily borrowed code and I'm just wondering if this will even work at all;
Original code (from PlayerSetScaleFull)

function Player::setPlayerScaleFull(%this, %x, %y, %z)
{
   if(!isObject(%this) || %x < 0.1 || %y < 0.1 || %z < 0.1)
      return;
   %this.setPlayerScale(%x, %y, %z);
}

registerOutputEvent(Player, "setPlayerScaleFull", "int 0.1 5 1   int 0.1 5 1   int 0.1 5 1");

Code for "SetVehicleScaleFull"

registerOutputEvent(Vehicle, "setVehicleScaleFull", "int 0.1 5 1    int 0.1 5 1 int 0.1 5 1");

function Vehicle::setVehicleScaleFull(%vehicle, %x, %y, %z)
   {
      %scale = %scale SPC %scale SPC %scale;
      %vehicle.setScale(%scale);
      if(isObject(%vehicle.turret))
      {
         %vehicle.turret.setScale(%scale);
      }
   }
