Edit for horrible TOTP: So BioShock Infinite runs better in Windowed/Full Screen mode. I am stunned by this. I went from having vsync drop me to 30fps constantly to playing pretty much a perfectly smooth game because of that one setting. It goes against everything I have experienced in gaming and makes no sense to me, but I'll take it.

That's probably because vsync doesn't usually work in windowed full screen mode, so most likely you've effectively just turned it off altogether.
You're probably right. I think that what really happened was my framerates dropped enough in windowed mode to not cause tearing, but to also be very playable and smooth. So basically, I actually hurt performance but gained "feel." Huh.
There are many games that when unable to maintain 60fps, will drop to fractions of 60 for a second with vsync on. So if they are hitting 59 instead of 60, they display 30. If they can't hit 30, they drop to 20.
Interesting - is the solution to turn off vsync in individual games or is there some overall setting on my graphic card I might want to consider switching off?

Has anyone played The Last Federation? I seem to remember a post about it during the time I had a few Sins of a Solar Empire giveaways going, but I can't remember if it was a good or bad thing, and that was like.....last year.

For those following the Skyrim Beautification Project, I know that there was concern about the NPCs looking out of place(@LoveIsUnity ). I know I previously mentioned that the skimpy armor/clothes were in the optional mods listed on the site. However, I don't know which mod it is I installed from the list which does feature a skimpy outfit, and has appeared on a few select NPCs(I've encountered maybe 4 or 5 such NPCs in my 100+ hours). My point being, the outfit may come from one of the listed essential mods, just FYI. Screenshot of one such NPC spoilered below. Its mostly SFW, capturing the upper half of an NPC. The lower half, she's essentially wearing panties.
As boring as the game is, that screen does look super pretty. The NPC's look like Disney princesses now.

Are her breasts bigger than her head? And what's with the toothpick midsection? No way her spine could hold those up. I'll admit, I enjoy a certain level of unrealistic video-game proportions at times, but that's past ridiculous and on it's way to caricature.

I haven't made it very far into the game, but it's like this ...
This is a pretty cool Space 4X game.
... but you aren't actually playing it.
The NPC AIs are the ones playing a 4X game - colonizing new worlds, researching their tech tree, putting down pirates, holding planetary elections, etc.
You are the wildcard. You're the barbarians and a Great General / Great Scientist / etc. rolled up into one. You get to travel around, offering your services to help train the militaries of places, to put down pirates for them, to uplift some race that hasn't discovered spaceflight for itself yet (and when you do this, you have to fight every other race that already has it; meaning you need to pick carefully who you uplift and it gets increasingly harder as the game goes on).
Your goal is to get enough of the sapient races to band together in the titular Last Federation so that its strong enough to stave off interstellar genocide - because that's what just happened to your people, and you don't want it to happen again.
As you do this, you learn new ways to improve your ship and its research and manufacturing capabilities - because not everyone in space likes you, and the group that wiped out your species is still around, and would like to finish their work.
Combat is top-down, simultaneous TBS - you plan out the next couple seconds of action for your ship (power distribution, weapons to use, where to fly) - and then everything happens all at once. You can barter captured prisoners for influence points with a slaver race, or return them home to make their own race like you. The races are all different - one has a very parliamentary government, where you influence things by "buying" votes; another is run as a dictartorship, where the biggest guy standing is the one in charge (and the second-rank guy would love it if you took out his boss in single combat).
In short, lots of fun, really deep-looking, and I really need to spend more time with it.

In relation to the review above, let me toss in a quick note from my hour or two of time I spent with it.
I feel that the interface is not user friendly enough for people not used to the game. I think that you have to spend time learning the idiosyncrasies of the game before you can be stellar at it.
The concept and high level purpose of the game is killer, yes. But, I personally am not completely sold on how that's been presented to the player. It may improve with use, but that first game is gonna be rough on you.

KrummithDJ LogicDeath can't take me until I finish my backlogRegistered Userregular
These are a few screenshots from my Skyrim. I haven't modded it as deeply as some, but I still think it's real pretty.
I have programed VB some, more VBA. I took intro classes for C++. I'm taking Java this fall quarter, and than the second course of Java and C++ in following quarters. I started programing in Basic on dos, played with Turbo Pascal (poorly), HTML, little Javascript.
But even with all that, I feel like I don't know where to start. I have done window stuff were you accomplish things, but getting to 3d graphics I have no idea. Making a program to do mortgage math and store customer records is easy.
If you're already coding that's a good start. You'll need to get a handle on things like data structures and algorithms, matrix maths, UI design, source control, and project management to avoid tripping over your own feet.
Now if you'd like to make a career out of it, there are a few additional steps to prepare yourself:
Snip
Not a carrier, so I only care about this part. I think I get data structures. Not sure what you mean on algorithms. Or Matrix math. I have done UI for desktop boring programs, but I'm sure that is different. Source control? As for project management, I have had to handle stuff like that. So there is that.
Yeah, this is my biggest stumbling block. Even with a product like Construct 2, my brain still doesn't grasp coding concepts. It's not like it even forces me to code, simply think in the manner code would, and I still can't seem to think that way. However, my wife seems to be a freaking genius in this, so there's hope yet . . .
I find RPG Maker easier to use in terms of interaction with it's basic concepts but if you want more than a rudimentary "old school" top down turn based RPG game, you also need to understand some measure of what I call "code logic".
I haven't touched Unity past installing their free thingamajig. But they do have a "free try me" version.
I can do ifs thens and elses, those make sense to me, but much of the problem (I think) is my inability to think in abstract forms. I think in purely visual modes, and code is anything but visual.
I just took c++, it was boring to me. So as for grasping concepts, You get a lightbulb at some point, or you don't. I had class mates that just got glossy eyes on things. I was always ahead, because I get objects. I just don't know how to do 3d stuff, or take what I know and go the next step.
anyway, thanks for the suggestions. I have some reading to do I guess. I will leave this for now, and back to steam. Why am I at work? Why can't I be home playing commander keen?
Not that this should come as a surprise to anyone following the thread but @Vi Monks was awesome and gave me FTL! I hope I attached the screenshot correctly, but either way that was a super unnecessarily nice welcome to the community. Thanks!

If I remember correctly, most of the more popular female body replacement mods come with options like petite, athletic, surgically enhanced, and Heavy Metal (1981). It's completely possible to have better female bodies that aren't cartoonish while having all the pretty dresses fit without extra work. Most of the male ones, however, seemed to have only one model which could be called "steroid abuse."
@Krummith, did you install some kind of Seattle mod? It's raining in 80% of your screenshots and the other 20% is indoors.

One of the mods is for more weather, however all the screenshots are from the same point in the game, so it was raining then. I'll post some more of non rainy times if anyone's interested.
Also, I got it going at about 60 fps now, by turning down both the AA and Antisstropic settings to 4 instead of 8.
As somebody who studied computer science in college and has been programming professionally (in some capacity) for nearly 10 years I have absolutely no idea how one would even begin to make a game. I can hook your web page up to a database, format reports for human readability, and translate nasty text reports into a Gantt chart, but moving a guy around in 3D space completely eludes me.
And I took a 3D graphics class in college so I used to be able to do some of it, but knowing that there is C-style code running when I move Nathan Drake with my PS3 controller absolutely baffles me.

You can probably pump anisotropic filtering up to 16x. It's pretty trivial compared to AA.
I read an article today on like PCGamer about how Game Maker is pretty good for making games
I'm using game maker to make my new game as we speak. It's pretty simple to use, even if you have no coder logic. You can make a great prototype just using the drag and drop features without coding a single line in very little time at all.
Game makers, make a mod in fallout out skyrim. come up with a design, big or small, set goals, accomplish!
very big support for gamebryo children so you will find answers. I did and made piece of shit in sig.
for time being, consider absolute simplest way to resolve conflict (rock, paper, scissors; high card, coin toss) and model that as a game, then slowly spiral out with more features.
Also, we need a to buy computer parts online and gift them out, like a reverse wishlist.

As someone who dabbles in 3d modeling and texturing from time to time and did release a full-blown body mod for Oblivion (and Fallout 3 but let's not go there) I can safely say that realistic** and pretty-princess-dressup options are out there. My Oblivion body mod* with a few outfits I converted to fit it: Exempli Gratia 1 Exempli Gratia 2 Exempli Gratia 3 Exempli Gratia 4
(I did a body mod for Skyrim, too, but never released it. Because community. And I just finished one last night for Saints Row 3 but that one was just 100% texture work, no modeling.)
* Found on Nexus as the "TGND" body for the curious
** Disclaimer: "realistic" only within the parameters of the game engine and its limits
I really need to stop Steaming and start coding. I swore up and down that as soon as I had a decent rig (and mine is decidedly above that rating, compared to what I expected to have) that I would really work on it. I've done a few minor things (got a 3D ship model to move how I felt was "right" for a vertical shooter; made a really basic match-three board that I could move a cursor around, swap tiles and have the board add new tiles in their place), but I want to put some better effort in!

One of the mods is for more weather, however all the screenshots are from the same point in the game, so it was raining then. I'll post some more of non rainy times if anyone's interested.
Also, I got it going at about 60 fps now, by turning down both the AA and Antisstropic settings to 4 instead of 8.
And I took a 3D graphics class in college so I used to be able to do some of it, but knowing that there is C-style code running when I move Nathan Drake with my PS3 controller absolutely baffles me.
You can probably pump anisotropic filtering up to 16x. It's pretty trivial compared to AA.

I'm using game maker to make my new game as we speak. It's pretty simple to use, even if you have no coder logic. You can make a great prototype just using the drag and drop features without coding a single line in very little time at all.

That's actually why I brought it up :P
very big support for gamebryo children so you will find answers. I did and made piece of shit in sig.
for time being, consider absolute simplest way to resolve conflict (rock, paper, scissors; high card, coin toss) and model that as a game, then slowly spiral out with more features.
Also, we need a to buy computer parts online and gift them out, like a reverse wishlist.

As someone who dabbles in 3d modeling and texturing from time to time and did release a full-blown body mod for Oblivion (and Fallout 3 but let's not go there) I can safely say that realistic** and pretty-princess-dressup options are out there. My Oblivion body mod* with a few outfits I converted to fit it:
Exempli Gratia 1
Exempli Gratia 2
Exempli Gratia 3
Exempli Gratia 4
(I did a body mod for Skyrim, too, but never released it. Because community. And I just finished one last night for Saints Row 3 but that one was just 100% texture work, no modeling.)
* Found on Nexus as the "TGND" body for the curious
** Disclaimer: "realistic" only within the parameters of the game engine and its limits
