eX, LiQuid lives in the no-fun-zone, it's pointless to get through to him with your ideas of fun.

It was an Origin issue.

Anybody ever consider trying to run a board game night with Tabletop Simulator?

Check out this GAF thread:

I've been kind of fascinated with this thing since I first heard about it a couple months ago but didn't pick it up during the recent sales for some reason. It seems kind of incredible. It's just a physics sandbox that emulates an actual tabletop. Apparently the Steam Workshop has people making mods for a lot of popular board/tabletop games that are free to download.

I imagine a lot of that stuff is work in progress at this point, but holy shit what a great concept. It looks like Steam is actually taking some of the mods down, probably by publisher request cause the shit is so legit. The guy who uploaded some Magic the Gathering sets said they all got took down so he put them on a private server. I imagine with a little digging/research we could figure out how to run a proper game on this thing and it would probably be awesome.

Tabletop Sim is hella robust, though a lot of 'official' board games have been removed from the workshop by the original creators. That said, a lot of games are still available for download (Cutthroat Caverns, Dominion, Mage Wars, etc)

Would be down 100%

EDIT: Also has a lot of built-in assets for running games like D&D, if we're looking into long term as well.

Have you tried running any actual mods on it? How did they feel? In general how intuitive does the simulator feel? Because you're not dealing with a frontend or UI specific to each game you could be running, I'm concerned that actual object manipulation within the simulator might be an impediment to fast paced gameplay. The footage I've seen of the game running seems like a lot of camera manipulation is required to move around the virtual space too. How intuitive is all of that?

I'm sure there are less regimented ways you could get at the content that has been removed from the Workshop. There's a subreddit dedicated to TTS, and I see it's on Nexus too. I'm sure that shit's all out there still. Like you could probably get those Magic the Gathering sets if you look hard enough. That seems like a thing people would be hungry for.

[LiQuid]

Looking at some videos and info and it looks like there are mods that generate decks (e.g. Magic decks) just by pulling from card databases, and then exports them into a file you can load in TTS. This shit is so amazing.

[Voltic]

Getting around the camera isn't so bad, but getting used to the interface/backend stuff is a little cumbersome at first. Learning how to get specific parts of other sets into a generic table (such as custom dice, minis etc.) was kind of a hassle.

In general, mods of full games have everything set up for you on the table ready to go, which is really nice. And yeah, I've heard that this game isn't very good at doing fastpaced board games, and is more garnered towards turnbased ones.

This weeks game night game

[LiQuid]

The forced esports announcers are really embarrassing.

[Mr_eX]

I agree but the game looks dumb enough to be great

[Mr_eX]

Pretty sure the next big game night game is going to be Overwatch.

[LiQuid]

You haven't even played it. It could be dumpster trash for all you know.

[LiQuid]

Geekboxy award for Most Successful Gamenight Game of 2016 early frontrunner is Battleborn.

[Mr_eX]

It even had a dude from the Steam group show up.

When the game is cheap I might buy it but no way I'm paying $60 for it.

[LiQuid]

Once it gets that cheap there will be even less people playing it than at launch.

[Mr_eX]

Killer Instinct is the game night game next week. Its free so those of you with Windows 10 should install it.

Depuis l'arrivée du MP3 (je devais être en licence d'informatique quand j'ai découvert les premiers algorithmes Fraunhofer… 1995 ou 1996…), le sujet de la destruction partielle du signal sonore par la compression MP3, et de la perception ou non de cette dégradation, n'a cessé d'alimenter diverses conversations. Attention cependant à ne pas confondre HD et FLAC : les flacs extraits à partir d'un CD sont certes à très haut débit comparés à un mp3 même à 320kbps mais ce n'est pas de la HD, ce terme est réservé aux fichiers en 24bits et forty flac to mp3 en ligne eight/ninety six/192khz dont la qualité théorique est très supérieure au CD (ce sont des studios masters) mais encore faut-il avoir des oreilles et du matériel succesful de restituer ces détails.
Cela étant, je pense que pour une oreille aiguisée, et sur de la musique classique, où les notions de timbre et d'picture sont essentielles, les résultats seraient très différents, même convertir flac en mp3 si les progrès en termes de qualité de la musique comressée sont indéniables et importants (les quelques très rares mp3/128 anciens que j'ai (avant 2000) sont quand même d'assez piètre qualité.
La plupart des encodages donnent, pour un même décodeur, de meilleurs résultats avec des processus de calcul longs, ou qui tiennent compte, en plusieurs passes, du section audio entier ; la qualité d'écoute peut être moindre pour les purposes en temps réel, qui imposent un faible délai. J'ouvre maintenant le fichier convertit dans Spek et miracle de la supercherie, il apparaît comme étant un MP3 de 320 kbps. L'extension du format AAC estAAC, toutefois Apple utilise le conteneurM4A pour ses fichiers vendus sur iTunes. Assurez-vous d'être en mode Single Source flac en mp3 ripper - Single Outcome (icône fichier -] fichier sur nos captures d'écran) sur le bouton situé en bas à droite pour créer de nouveaux fichiers, puis cliquez sur Start. Vous pouvez choisir ici l'encodeur utilisé entre l'AAC, l'AIFF, l'Apple Lossless, le MP3 et le WAV. Dommage que tu n'aies pas mis aussi un Flac pour comparer, si c'est l'objet du sujet.
