Reply to Health care reform: The motives behind the opposing parties in Everything Else Stardock Forums

[quote who="Aroddo" reply="100" id="2342531"]@daiwa Why don't you want the government in every nook & cranny of the healthcare industry? If your taxes get used to keep you healthy and alive then there's no problem, no? And what is socialized medizine anyway? As far as I know it's just a swear word invented to encourage people to think it's a communist attack on america.

I'll put my Ultralisk in your Nydus Canal and then populate it with Zerglings, after which I will infest your Command Center. But perhaps I should burrow my Lurkers next to your Supply Depots, you know, to start things out. So hot!

As someone whose family has been bleed dry by Medicare, I can promise you that government-operated healthcare will destroy specialists in this country. If you want good healthcare, screwing your clinicians is a poor means of achieving it. Healthcare is not a right, it is a luxury for which you must pay. If you think otherwise, you do not understand the costs of 21st century medicine. Medical training, house staff, technology acquisition, legal costs (why is there not tort re

I would respect him more if he tried that stuff against union thugs counter-protesting or at a New Black Panther rally. Also, in response to all of the confused posters here: New Hampshire is somewhat of a "Don't Tread On Me" state. Its citizens generally distrust government, especially if it interferes with individual liberty. The reason for its shift from a "Red" state to a "Blue" state over the past decade is primarily due to wealthy, self-important Bostonites encroa

Reply to What to play while waiting for Elemental in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

I've been playing King's Bounty: The Legend for several weeks. While not a flawless experience, it is a fun tactical RPG (imagine HoMM meets Final Fantasy Tactics) with solid battle mechanics. It is available on Impulse, and a great value (I cannot precisely recall the number of hours that I have spent during my first run through the game, but I estimate that I am well beyond 40 at this point). It came recommended from some folks at Stardock, and I pass on that recommendatio

[quote who="kryo" reply="8" id="2286274"] I reckon that the second the game becomes "stable enough" [who decides on enough?] then most support for it will be cut completely. I have zero expectations from either SD or GPG regarding the stability of this game. We are contractually committed to at least a year of updates. As to threading the server calls, that's up to GPG. We did some major work on the backend today to alleviate the periodic load issues though (the changes

For certain achievements, progress tracking is not working properly. In particular, the "Veteran" (win 25 games) and "Tourist" (win a game on every map) achievements get stuck after earning 1 point (1 win per Demigod).

Teams that capture and hold flags should be rewarded. Map dominance results in higher war score, which in turn enables teams to purchase game-changing Citadel upgrades. I see no reason to change this.

[quote who="ntropy" reply="1" id="2282471"]Yes, hangs alot because of this. Won't be so easy to change I guess. [/quote] Yes. Sadly, the above issue compounds other issues. In other words, synchronous loading can turn network stress into client hanging (slow servers can freeze the game, increasing player frustration).

[MAJOR FLAW] Synchronous loading = bad in Demigod Problem Reports Demigod Forums

Why does the game wait for network traffic before executing code? In other words, the game uses synchronous loading, wherein the game will freeze whenever it is waiting for a response from the network (Demigod servers, mainly). This is a terrible idea since the network code is so unreliable. Examples of problems caused by this behavior: Demigod freezes while attempting to log in if servers are experiencing heavy load Custom lobbies often freeze (temporary)&nbs

[quote who="Fetus4188" reply="11" id="2280446"]I would love to see a "defense" type game mode, with all the human players on the same team against a much better equipped AI, maybe with special troops and towers. I'd like more variety in towers and flags as well. I think a one-way teleport flag would be cool and could increase game speed and intensity; in the middle it becomes a hotly contested means of instant retreat, giving one to each base means players can quickly jump to
