tips on cleaning glasses? this spray and cloth deal doesnt work well.

What's not working well? Are the smudges too thick?

They make machines for cleaning glasses, believe it or not. May be worth looking into; I don't know how costly or effective they are.

[Ameablable]

well more on the lines of something that will clean them then make them stay clean for a while. cause this stupid spray and cloth gets all yuck very fast.

[smirk]

I always use the hem of my shirt, personally, as long as it's a clean shirt. And not one o' those thin synthetic-fiber dress shirts. No need for a spray; its only function is to make whatever cloth you're using damp and un-store-able. Water and dish soap if they're filthy, but that should be rare.

As far as making 'em stay clean, not much to be done. Try not to push 'em right up against your eyes/eyebrows; I used to do that outta habit and they'd always get really smudgy really fast.

Question for those who live in deserts.
are cacti really common in the desert? or is that just a stereotype.
(Cacti are my favourite plants and i have a tonne of them in my house)

[Ameablable]

Really i didnt know that cacti only come from the america's.
i thought they were also found in Australia.

[Scoops Novel]

Neither did i, though there are equivalents at the very least right?

Whats the recommended usage for very light prescription glasses?

Question: How do we feel about the concept of a roguelike with as deep a race/class/faith/talent tree as possible, but no level system? Basically you start with a stat pool and use it to invest in all sorts of perks and skills and what not, and then that is your character until death. Good concept?

[Liber celi]

Okay concept, but probably couldn't carry a game on its own.

[Max White]

Well, no single mechanic ever carried a game.
The point was that in a world where even indie devs not looking to profit from a kind of operant conditioning choose to include level systems where Dead Monster > EXP > Bigger numbers/more abilities, one has to wonder if there is a good reason why not have such a game?

It would make balancing a bit easier, and remove grinding for the most part.

The main reason for experience and levels is to have a sense of progression. If the character is determined at the beginning of the game and stays the same, would you move progression to equipment (not like Diablo with random but leveled, more like Baldur's Gate with magic items rarer but preset) or could you have something else like trophies the player collects and can display?


Having a character created in such a manner at the beginning of the game would give you a great deal of control over what and how difficult challenges are, as well as being able to control the storyline much more closely.

Then make it item-based. Your progression is based on your cool magic/hi-tech/whatever items, not levels. There are lots of things that you can have progression through that aren't levels, I'm sure. Companions/mons, equipment, reputation, etc.

[Max White]

The idea is that the big bad end boss is roughly as easy to kill late game as it would be when you just start. Your character hasn't really progressed much. The problem is that if you decide to get stats and skills and such to beat a very specific boss, you might find yourself having serious trouble beating the rest of the game leading up to said boss. Trying to find a build that works for you and holds out often enough to survive would be the challenge.

As such, early mobs wouldn't so much be weaker in terms of lower numbers, just more susceptible to various different strategies.

[Mech#4]

That sounds interesting. Though I might suggest considering at least a small system for the player to adapt to different situations (Not a whole lot, just enough for a player to eek by with some difficulty. It could be rather frustrating for a player to build one way, only to find that it's nearly useless later on. Such as Swimming in Deus Ex.
