OXCE Bugs / Re: BUG: Not Enough Workspace Avail Loop ∞
« Last post by ThumpieBunnyEve on Today at 03:13:23 am »I played a game called "Out of this World" on SNES. Its what got me into BlackThorn i mentioned earlier. I did manage to beat it and Blackthorn. I remember, like with x-com the endings were not the reason to play as much as enjoyment of the game-play itself. That's true of lots of games, but especially with games as data dynamic rich as X-com. base-build game, risk-world domination, chess, and shmup. everything tied together and used well meaningfully between each element.
For some, it's the battle-scape that they remember most, others it's the geoscape. Some let their imaginations fly to the base building (guilty) and the radar-based battles. Im still not 100% sure that Proximity of Lift-to-LaserDefenses isn't a factor, or that Radar works better or worse if its on the edges of the base. Living quarters being adjacent to mind-shield working better then not.. or Alien-containment and general store near to a lab resulting in faster research results? I've 'started' playing with the assumption that synergies from base-adjacency isn't a thing. but every time i build a psi-School i think to myself.. "Better have that mind shield up first!"
The amazingly 'compressed'-ish coding of the 90's gaming scene is what really got me dizzy with euphoric dreams for our future.. sadly like when flood gates open, there is often a back-wash. and for all the quality, compression, and ability, programing lent itself to back in the 90's, after the 2K.. it definitely felt like it started to go the other way. Bloat-ware, emulators running emulators to emulate actual good software, dev kits with instruction sets not needed but included with the current software running on it, just.. soaking up ram needlessly. OS'es finding ways to make us re-buy all the software that made us capable 'back in the day' and sell us less capability at that. I cant install a company-made app any more without worrying what rights and liberties im sacrificing to THEM now. Remember when malicious software was made only by one-off hackers just doing it for kicks? Now its 'ok' if its from a corporation looking to make money off your mined data.. annd then sell you adds.. X_X
Not so much a rant as a realization of a golden age gone by, and broken delusions of hoping organizations have our best interest in mind.
.... Is "Another World" the same game as "Out of this World" rebranded ? it looks familiar. Actually don't answer that.. I've strayed far enough from this bug topic. And i can research my own answer.
Continue to dream up new fun things to do with OXCE and its mods! TY for taking the time to use what little info i provided to prevent the lock up loop!
Stay awesome! ⋆^-^⋆

Thank you to all the dedicated teams that keep this game fun some 30 years later!
