  1. I'll confess to this, and also the stupid waste of unslotters to rearrange the order of IOs in a power to make it look "right." Sigh.
  2. Now if we could only make a Squib costume to go with it! (It's OK, nobody else will get it either...)
  3. Agreed! Of course the best thing about GOG is the strong anti-DRM stance. (The online requirement from Steam and Epic is just a less-egregious DRM scheme, after all.) Reference Defective by Design.
  4. Me, too! From (ahem) the bio of the Ineffable Doctor Ditko: Once a powerful and arrogant magician, he overreached himself and suffered a sorcerous backlash that left him unable to access the higher magics. In despair and wandering, he was taken in by a kindly relativistic physicist who taught him the ways of his field. Now, having achieved his own advanced degree, he uses his knowledge of both science and sorcery to make the world a better place. "Never Eff with Doctor Ditko!"
  5. Minimum of: END Consumption Recovery Rate Regen Rate Recharge Rate Sometimes the appropriate Movement Rate. If I'm whiffing a lot, I'll throw in To Hit. If I'm getting hit a lot, I'll watch Defense of one or more types. BTW, Just recently learned that you can scale the window with "/windowscale CombatMonitor .8" or whatever you like. Saves me some screen space.
  6. Oh, absolutely! Didn't mean to take anything away from DOSbox! It's true though, that the GOG team tweak settings and package the whole game+emulator up nicely so even non-techies can use it!
  7. That's great! Where did you run across that?
  8. Prestige Power Slide does have one redeeming feature: It nullifies many of the animations from Ninja Run. Good for characters who aren't really the Ninja type. Might do the same for Beast Run, I don't know. That said, adding it to the P2W Sprints package wouldn't be a deal-breaker for me. And being able to customize it or making a few elemental versions would be very cool.
  9. We're possibly running across a terminology clash? From Wikipedia: A trillion is a number with two distinct definitions: 1,000,000,000,000, i.e. one million million, or 1012 (ten to the twelfth power), as defined on the short scale. This is now the meaning in both American and British English. 1,000,000,000,000,000,000, i.e. 1018 (ten to the eighteenth power), as defined on the long scale. This is one million times larger than the short scale trillion. This is the former meaning in British English and the current use in many non-English-speaking countries. I'm pretty sure there isn't a long trillion in the whole game's economy, not even on Live. But: If each of your 1000 character slots is occupied with a character holding 100 Billion (via the AH trick), you would only need 10 accounts to hold a short trillion. Doable, if only just. Probably wouldn't get much playing done, though!
  10. Perhaps you have the "adaptive graphics quality" option set in your options, and some network congestion had the game go to a very low graphics level? (Sorry, I can't get into the game just now and I forget the exact name of the setting.)
  11. I do that, because then the blue exit button is an escape hatch in case I get in over my head. Definitely not a limitation in my case! (Otherwise I can use Self-Destruct. Definitely not hard core here!)
  12. Wow! Never thought of that! You bid 2 billion for an Iron Will inspiration, which hasn't dropped since Live issue 6 or something, and it's money in the bank! Very clever. I should have gone into finance instead of sorcery or physics!
  13. Gods bless GOG! Always buy games from them if you can. The fact that all their offering have NO DRM is worth the trouble hunting them down! Plus you get to support their efforts in patching/emulating oldies like these for modern machines.
  14. Oh, yes! Being able to customize inherents would be incredible!
  15. Try /window_resetall and /keybind_reset and see how it goes.
  16. If you cleared the registry keys and deleted the game folder after uninstalling, you should get a clean slate. Have you tried /window_resetall and /keybind_reset in-game?
  17. While looking through the wiki I found this: How exciting! I've been looking for a way to do this for some time (even good ol' Process Lasso throws up its hands). However, in addition to not recognizing that the game actually runs at Below Normal, it does not seem to work. I tried integers, various "magic numbers" and so forth, but no luck. Does anyone know if this useful command still exists? If so, what kind of "number" is it looking for? I get no error when I try, just no joy as far as the process priority is concerned. If no news, I will update the wiki that this function no longer works.
  18. I would personally love it if we could have the Freem! version of Brawl back from April Fool's Day!
  19. Wow! Thanks1.0x10^6!! Your are right, he's an unlockable David Hassselhoff-lookalike called Agent Hassel! Thanks so much!
  20. Redside, once you get Hero Slayer badge you unlock Lord Schweinzer, who will give you all the mayhem missions for which you have the required level. Grab those explore badges! (If you reject his first offering, you can "Talk about something else" and get an ordered list, very handy.) He's my favorite contact in Port Oakes. I dearly wish he had a counterpart on blueside!
  21. Nafsmar is right. Happens too often to be a coincidence.
  22. Maybe if he sent out a global saying he'd return two inf for every inf someone sends him? He could even use Twitter... Worked for those other guys.
  23. I'm glad you liked it! I don't know why they didn't get Arleen Sorkin (originator of the role, and co-creator of the character, really, with Paul Dini -- they used to commute to the city together, and came up with her en route), but Melissa did a very good job.
  24. Isn't pink an RP warning sign? I don't know how to set it, though, I prefer stealth RP.
  25. Yeah. As I said elsewhere the only thing I liked about the most recent reboots was Green Lantern being convinced Batman must be a vampire. And I thought Flash fixed Flashpoint! He did in the animated version. Also, Wonder Woman doesn't need a sword! Justice League: DOOM was pretty good though, even though it came out post-52. Good script, right voice cast. Dwayne McDuffie was my favorite DC writer. RIP.
