Re: Deus Ex 3 - I'll just leave this here

By Mr_Cyberpunk's brilliant logic, women who dress "slutty" are all asking for rape. While the possibility to make that connection has hardly escaped my notice (especially given that elsewhere on the internet I've been following a discussion on victim blaming in cases of rape, assault and harassmen...

Re: Deus Ex 3 - I'll just leave this here

I'm pretty sure that I still can't play with HDTP Anna or HDTP NSF Troppers, or HDTP JC, or HDTP anyone but Gunther and they sure did show us some "Look how awesome this is" stuff a long time ago. As far as I know the characters are done. They have them. I don't. I do have access to pretty pictures ...

Re: Some aspects of the mod are really bugging me

Yeah, my idea of a loser simulator is in your last paragraph, where the character stays weak. It is almost unheard of, even avoided in books and movies. My understanding is that the point wasn't so much about weakness but instead recognition. In Half Life 2 Freeman isn't going to be weak, he's batt...

Re: Deus Ex 3 - I'll just leave this here

@Mr_Cyberpunk

Isn't that the argument in favor of hacking the HDTP team's computers so that everyone can get all of the goodies we know they have that they refuse to share until release?

Re: Some aspects of the mod are really bugging me

I managed to completely miss the "loser simulator" comment when it was made. I don't think "loser simulator" is a good description of what was brought up. Especially given that Deus Ex, which I wouldn't call a loser simulator, was the example given of the preferred way of doing things. Also, there a...

Re: re-installing TNM

I read the manual, a long time ago. I also remembered that it should be in there ... after I'd already posted.

It is a very nice document.

Re: Deus Ex 3 - I'll just leave this here

Ok, we know that the company isn't exactly made up of saints. We know that their bottom line almost certainly wasn't harmed. Even so, victim blame much? Seriously, that's a crap argument. They brought this on themselves by doing something they were well within their rights to do is not a good attitu...

Re: re-installing TNM

I could be wrong here, but as I recall the button didn't work. You had to do it in the ini. It's been a while but I would guess that what you do is open TNM.ini find "GameRenderDevice=" and set it to whatever renderer you'd like. The renderers are all listed in the ini and are of the form: [Thing.Th...

Re: High-resolution AI images?

I meant to reply to this days ago. It should be pointed out that since what you're trying to create isn't a high resolution mod or anything like that that it is actually pretty simple for you to get something high resolution based on what is already available. Something like inkscape can be used to ...

Re: The most usefull solution to inventory problems...can i?

There will come a point when you are sent into the ruins of DXI. Anything you don't bring with you to DXI will be lost.

Also, obviously, anything you leave in a place you will not return to is lost to you.

Re: Deus Ex 3 - I'll just leave this here

It might very well have started a chain reaction that will make them make more cash when the game is released. Too early to say if it was a heroic liberation of game code or a douchy thing imo. It was an asshole move. The fact that it might have positive consequences for the ones pissed off by it d...

Re: TNM Fan Fiction (Sort Of)

Jonas, if you should ever consider playing a Resident Evil game, be aware that they tend to contain giant spiders. You could probably do to spell out some of those abbreviated Planets, not even your typical TNM player would necessarily know what 3DAP stands for. It's not strictly necessary to know o...

TNM Fan Fiction (Sort Of)

So it's not really "TNM fan fiction" unless you add a disclaimer like, "After a fashion." Basically, the idea of Forum City creates a lot of possible places you could go. For example I don't see the PDX population doing a lot of resource extraction, but over at some of the strategy based cities on f...

This was covered in greater depth one and two pages ago, but I'll try to give you the quick version here. I feel like I'm missing something here, but couldn't MJ12 just as easily have removed all references even to the entrance sewer tunnels leading up to the new tunnels, and the manholes as well? Y...
