Reply to Star Control: Origins - A Pre-Mortem Part 1 in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Is there a plan for a demo of the game? Either at launch or at some time later? Free weekend on Steam maybe at some point in the future? Somehow, I've never played a Star Control game. (did play Starflight though, have heard that was a influence on the original Star Control games) Wouldn't mind taking a look, but I've just had a complete lack of desire for any space 4x recently, so not sure if that lack of desire in the 4x category would transfer over to another genre in space. <

Reply to Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes 2.3 in LH Support Elemental Forums

[quote who="GFireflyE" reply="21" id="3723709"] Good Morning Derek Wow! A big thank you for continuing to work on Fallen Enchantress Legendary Heroes. This was easily been my favorite TBS game to date. However, after the ver2.0 release, things became quite...buggy...to the point where it was next to unplayable. Again, thank you for your continued efforts. I see now you are at version 2.3 and this really tempts me to dive back into the game. However, before I do - I

However, I thought that about Microsoft Office too and well, that is subscription based. One thing I have learned on the internet is that you can't believe anything you read.

Reply to Anyone seeing "Solo" this Friday? in Life, the Universe and Everything Elemental Forums

[quote who="Timmaigh" reply="29" id="3715839"] Quoting GrayLord, reply 26 I was pleasantly not disappointed with Solo. Not the greatest movie, but a lot better than 7, 8, & even Rouge One. I too am more of a fan of Star Trek, however the "re-imaging" of Star Trek II has pretty much killed my interest (

I noticed no one talked about reading Splinter of a minds eye, the prequels to the phantom menace, or a butload if books after Endor, like dozens, im just saying, and you call yourselves real Star Wars fans.

You can also consider going to https://pcpartpicker.com/ People upload their custom build specs along with pricing (might be US only pricing, not sure about that), with that you can see multiple setups with various pricing levels.

Reply to Daily updates! in Fences Stardock Forums

Thanks for this! Was getting very annoying, there should really be a "check for updates" option in the Fences settings. Btw, does this enable/disable the check for *every* piece of Stardock software on the system or just Fences?

Anime: Soul Eater in Movies & TV & Books Elemental Forums

So, over the past week/weekend I binged Soul Eater on Netflix. Mostly typical anime stuff, but some pretty cool art direction, where they seemed to go a different path than the usual. Anyway, there was a character named Excalibur who was annoying as all hell during the show. However, by the end, I absolutely loved the character. And now I can barely contain myself from yelling "Fool!" in midst of other peoples sentences! <img src="https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/cardfight/

Draginol: Your opinion on Steam's new Shader Pre-Caching feature? in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Hey Brad, Just wondering what you thought of the new Steam feature introduced in the most recent update? For now I'm turning it off, but not out of any paranoia or fear. I'm just gonna wait and see the overall reaction to a widespread release for a bit. Most likely some bugs were able to sneak through any beta testing Steam used, so there is that as well. Anyway, just wondering if you think this will actually be helpful? Is it, or will it be widespread (in regards to n

[quote who="Derek Paxton" reply="10" id="3696969"] Not a simple fix, I'm going to get some dev time to dig into it. But I'm putting the patch out without the fix until the dev becomes available (the dev team is pretty busy with Star Control at the moment).
