But Skyrim stays on top and steals mouse focus, so I can't click anything on the task manager screen.

control alt delete, task manager, it'll have focus.

[milo christiansen]

For games that refuse to give up focus:

Sometimes I have a game lock up and Alt+Tab won't work, Ctrl+Alt+Del will work, but only until you go back to the desktop and try to click something, then the game takes over again. On Win10 the solution is simple, hit Win+Tab and select a different desktop at the bottom of the screen (you may need to make one). Open task manager on this desktop and do what you need to do there, then switch back

This is only a problem with certain (rare) games. Most of the time Ctrl+Alt+Del is good enough.

I was battling the rebels as a stormtrooper on the planet Kashyyyk in the original Star Wars Battlefront II pc game, and I found a nice little high point with health and ammo supplier droids to snipe the rebel scum. I got 200 kills and 0 deaths during that session. This wasn't necessarily my "last" ownage. However it is certainly one of my best.

At first I thought you misspelled the name of the planet, but after looking it up, I found that it does have 3 y's. Why.

Holy crap, I didn't know Windows 10 let you have multiple desktops. It's a shame that that feature had to come with Windows 10, it's literally the only thing I miss about Linux.

This is the same fictional universe with a character named "Cad Bane", I stopped asking questions like that years ago.

Turn seven lethal? Maybe if you're playing against a competitively viable class.

Tenshi is dunked. After like five tries, I finally managed to not fumble anything and just whittle her down with Cowrie Shell while Youmu endured endless Swords of Hisan.

And I got the Silver Weapon thing first try, by repeatedly exploding dolls in its face while it revved up its death fog.

Touhou Labyrinth 2

[Sirus]

Mossdeep City Gym was such an absurd cakewalk, I can't help but wonder if I super-trained my pokemon into OPness or if I just chose wisely. The unofficial combat log is as follows:

Sirus sends in Heracross and Sceptile.
Liza and Tate send in Solrock and Lunatone.

ROUND 1
Sceptile uses Mega Drain on Solrock. Solrock is in the red.
Heracross uses Megahorn on Solrock. Solrock is in the ded.
Lunatone uses Light Screen.

ROUND 2
Sceptile uses X-Scissor on Lunatone. Lunatone is in the red.
Heracross uses Brick Break on Lunatone. Light Screen is destroyed, as is Lunatone.

Battle over, badge get. I don't think I've ever beaten a gym leader in just two turns before.

Pokemon: Omega Ruby. Most of my semi-permanent team is weak to at least one of Team Magma's preferred types. They still kick butt, time and time again.

They were a lot tougher in R/S- their Lunatone and Solrock were a fair amount stronger than your team usually was at that point (historically, people tended to be in mid-to-late 30s with their two strong mons, and the wilds around there were no higher than 30 or so, and i believe the gym leaders' pokemon were 43 each?)

[Akura]

In my experience, your Pokemon seem to level up a lot faster in the remakes, even without grinding the Pokemon-amie. In my AS run currently just before entering Meteor Falls the first time, my team is >25, with my transferred Mawile around 34, and Floette and Marshtomp nearing 30. The only thing lower is the Sandshrew I just caught(replacing Mightyena who is that high). I'm actually getting worried that Mawile in particular will hit the current badge cap of 40 before I reach Flannery, causing disloyalty.

I'm not even bothering with wild encounters for the most part, just trainer battles.

[hector13]

I apparently broke the final mission, in that I snuck in and beat the boss without really fighting them.

Quite disappointing really.

Mafia III

[AzyWng]

What ending did you choose? I think that the player chooses the ending if I remember correctly.

[hector13]

I left.

And then laughed at Donovan.

I could look at the other ending too but I'd rather earn it I guess...

So, me and my party got involved in a pitched battle with the Poles. Well, I saw an army moving to intercept them and decided to get stuck in, too. Went quite well, ride close, shove a pistol up their nose and disengage. Repeat, while the infantry mops up.

For the last engagement, they'd set up a pretty nasty line of muskets, but for reasons best known to themselves, at the bottom of a hill. So, I broke off, rode in to flank them and drew their fire, dashing around behind them, dodging shots so my men could come over the crest and strike them from behind. Got a few knocks, but it worked. The infantry swamped them as they were occupied with me. Always quite the kick to hear a whole line of muskets fire at you.

Apparently, they'd captured the king, and he thanked me for the rescue before bogging off back to Königsberg. His disposition towards me is still just "cooperative" though. Just a thank you, no fief or title or some gold or anything at all. What the hell do I need to do to impress you, Kalle?! Hell, what does a condottieri have to do to get an estate these days? I'm swimming in gold, and I've got even more gathering interest in Viborg and Reval, I could probably fund the entire war by this point. I wish there was a way to just buy myself some land. I suppose I could capture an enemy hold on my own at this point, but I don't want to throw most of my army away just for the hold to go to Useless von Harenvärja the Halfwit instead of me.
