    So, I just found out I have a mouse coming in and out of my cupboard somehow, taking my bird feed. I just wish it was't so bloody cute.

    It was never that scary to begin with.

    Sure it has tension at times, but the worst you get is a jump scare.

    And then theres the power system, which makes no sense at times. (How does keeping a door closed consume power?)

    It's scary until you learn the system behind each animatronic.

    Because the doors rest position is up so it requires power to keep it down. Also to add difficultly.

    That reminds me of my first thought after seeing the doors open upon losing power: Isn't it usually the other way around? Bulkhead doors sealing during an emergency situation?

    I guess you could argue it's a precaution against trapping the security guard inside, but that's typically what a manual release latch is for.

    Try clearing the CMOS memory, it may wipe the password as well, depending on the motherboard. The easiest way to do this is to disconnect the computer from power, and then to remove the small battery - round, flat, usually silver - briefly from the motherboard. No guarantees.

    Note that this might also clear all BIOS settings, including system time.

    Tried all that several times and even my own way. The password remains. Everyone on Google says to do that, but there doesn't seem to be any alternate solution beyond replacing the damn thing. Backdoor passwords didn't work either. I can't access the boot menu or system setup. Computer powers on, shows Dell logo, then straight to black screen asking for a password.

    Thinking about going all "Office Space" on this b****.

    First of all, why would you set a BIOS password?

    Corporate entities do it fairly often, so that employees don't try to apply 600% overclock to their RAM.

    It's my uncles computer and he asked me to fix it. When he said they forgot the password I assumed it was for the Admin account to log in, which would take like 2 minutes to fix. I've never had to deal with this and so far nothing I've read has worked. Dell support was less than useless as well. I "reset" the motherboard like 30 times. Did Dell slap on a password by factory default or something?

    Dark souls 2, why am i being stunlocked with 30 poise by the basic zombies?

    Why are enemies able to turn on a dime when doing heavy attacks but i can’t?

    Why does being within three feet of a downward strike damage me?

    Why does my halberd sometimes do 260 damage and other times 130 to the exact same enemy?

    Why does every enemy have a stunlock combo?

    Why do weapons deteriorate faster than paper mache in water?

    Why are the enemies unable to outsmart a wall?

    Why does blocking sometimes not protect me from damage?

    Because Dark Souls was designed for gamers with a difficulty fetish.

    ***** please, i can solo mega ornstein on NG+ in the first game. Dark souls 2 is just a badly made mess that tries too hard to be...well hard and loops right back around to "Its stupidly easy, but the game just hates you."

    I can't even call it Demons souls 2, its more like "We forgot how to make a fair, but challenging game so just have this mess of broken hitboxes and copy pasted boss reskins." Atleast demons souls gameplay worked and was consistent.

    Some weapon movesets can turn on a dime while attacking. It depends on the moveset.

    You have to hit enemies with the halberd's sweet spot to get full damage.

    Weapons degrade faster to make durability mean something in this game. I hate it too, but that's the reason.

    Increasing your agility will allow you to recover from stagger more quickly, letting you roll out of attacks that otherwise would have been a combo. Either agility or poise. I can't remember at the moment, but I think it's agility.

    Some enemies have weapons that can dead-angle you if you're blocking.
