Best controller for PSX emulation? by canine_swinein emulation

[–]ultimatt42 2 points3 points ago

Talking about the C-buttons? Yeah, it's awkward to have them on a stick, so I usually map my controller thusly for Zelda:

  • A -> A
  • B -> X
  • C-left -> Y
  • C-down -> B
  • C-right -> RB
  • C-up -> Up on right stick
  • Z -> LT
  • R -> RT

That way you get proper buttons for your C items. If you use something like Xpadder you can also have the right stick mapped to the C buttons, which makes ocarina playing more intuitive.

No, see, it's like one of those automatic CD changers, except for SD cards. I think it can hold a thousand of them.

Village of Briar Forest Apartments by ironmaiden80in houston

[–]ultimatt42 1 point2 points ago

Just moved in in March so I don't have a lot of experience but...

  • Parking can be an issue if you have more than one car, particularly late at night.
  • Traffic from the high school isn't as bad as you might expect, and you can always just head over to Hwy 6 to avoid it anyway.
  • The management just changed from Greystar to Fogelman about a month ago so who knows how things will go.

We're pretty happy with our apartment, no major issues, and the few times we've had to call maintenance they've been very responsive. I've heard about rent hikes after the first year, but we don't plan to stay that long anyway.

To All: Stop begging the question by vistascanin DebateReligion

When begging the question, the "question" in question is the one being begged.

I have several expansions as well, but I always play with only two at a time for just that reason.

How it looks trying to downvote any Workaholics post. by dwade420in trees

Well... at worst it would have still been pulled out of his hands... but supposing he was handcuffed or superglued to it or something, i think it probably would have just dislocated his shoulder at worst. Didn't look like it was really going that fast when it left his hands, I think he let go more due to surprise than anything.

Honestly, is Diablo 3 worth it? by Agent00funkin truegaming

I know what you're talking about, big yellow skeleton next to the blue glowing crater right after finding Deckard. That wasn't the SK, just one of his minions. Eventually you go deeper in that dungeon and fight the skeleton king himself.

US “Six Strikes” Anti-Piracy Scheme Delayed: "After 6 warnings ISPs may take some repressive measures, including slowing down offenders’ connections and temporary disconnections." by maxwellhillin technology

[–]ultimatt42 0 points1 point ago

It's a little harder for them because they are usually run from blocks of static IPs purchased by corporate.

It's no harder. Say their IP gets blacklisted. First, they already know if they're blacklisted because Peer Block distributes the blacklist, all they have to do is check if their IP range is on it. If they are, they have plenty of options. Have an employee run the monitoring software from their residential connection, buy more non-blacklisted IPs, rent a VPN... any of the things that pirates can do to hide their online identity, an anti-P2P organization can do the exact same thing. How sure are you that they aren't doing these things already? How thorough do you think the Peer Block people can reasonably be?

Even better, the program can detect traffic from these bogus clients and blacklist them.

Sure, for the clients distributing bogus data. The clients you should be worried about are the ones monitoring the tracker. And chances are, they won't even need to connect to you since the tracker will give your IP to them anyway.

Right now the best way to ensure safety is to put someone else's server between you and the P2P network. That could be a VPN, a seedbox, a rapidshare link, a usenet server... any of those should keep you from getting sued. If you use torrents, you should seriously consider switching to private trackers as they tend to be lower-priority targets.

IP blacklists are a placebo. Think about it: how easy is it for you to get a new IP? Why would you expect it to be any harder for them?

To Atheists: I once heard somebody pose this question, and I like the simplicity behind it... by 2min2midin DebateReligion

[–]ultimatt42 1 point2 points ago

I wouldn't endorse suicide except in situations where quality of life isn't expected to improve, even in the best case. But I also think that decisions about how to spend (or end) our life are ours to make, and I don't want to force my opinions on others who might know better what's right for themselves. Even if that means suicide. (I'll still encourage them to seek help and try to talk them out of it, though.)

If I was an atheist, what would there be to look forward to after death?

Nothing... all the more reason to enjoy the life you do have.

Or maybe, if you don't particularly enjoy life, you can look forward to an end to your suffering.

And why not let other people hold onto that hope?

I don't have a problem with it, except when it causes people to make self-destructive decisions or value life less than they should.

Exactly, if you want to compare like to like you'll have to wait for the (inevitable, it seems) D3 expansion. Vanilla D2 was still a great game, but they certainly added a lot of depth in the expansion and later patches, and I think we can expect the same for D3.

+experience per kill affix by Roshansoloin Diablo

[–]ultimatt42 2 points3 points ago

You expect that anyway just because XP requirements increase exponentially. So if you start, say, 1000 XP apart and get equal XP as you level up, that might be a 4 level difference at level 5 but a one level difference at level 8.
