I was avoiding Windows 10 for ages, but then I realized that the only downsides to the upgrade was that if you're a user who uses a Windows account and email and crap, then you get a lot of shit to deal with.

You also give Microsoft complete and total access to your computer in any way they want, at all times. This includes using the camera and microphone remotely, and making it impossible to disable. They even have the ability to uninstall or delete things from your computer, or forcibly push anything they want to it, and you can't do anything about it. If you really like the UI, you can get that for Windows 7, minus all the spyware crap.

OT: Nothing... I hope.

1600x900... Hope to upgrade to 1440p or 2k by the end of the year though.

Oh god the cables. THE CABLES.

My thoughts EXACTLY!

Pretty unsettling...I like it. Very surreal.

 

@Mod: I wouldn't say NSFW as such. Maybe "He's not kidding when he says 'weird'. Like dude, wtf"

Look at that second one again... Fairly obvious uncovered female torso...

Is it really that bad or is my brother just suckin' on sour grapes, like I suspect.

Grapes.

It's not the best, but it is worth seeing at least once.

Happy to help.

Well, looking at the specs for the Pascal cards, it appears the system should be capable of directly accessing the GPU memory for use as fast system RAM... Whether that will be something anyone actually implements... I hope they do. (80BG/s communication rate beats most standard system RAM)

No issues here... Then again, I didn't shut down Steam between the 20th and now...

Well, they are "famous" for being infested with viruses, like everything else.

Thing is, any reputable site will tell you to scan everything immediately, report torrents that are infected, don't freak out about false positives that occur from most keygens/no-cd patches, and if you're really really worried about viruses download only from trusted uploaders. (on KAT they are denoted by a crown next to their username, on TPB it was a skull, on Demonoid it was everyone)

The true infection rate of torrents on major sites is actually so low that I would be perfectly comfortable torrenting without any AV running.

There are a ton of mods dealing with much of the stuff you're complaining about... viewtopic.php?f=4&t=8000

1) What is your philosophy in making content? What kinds of things do you try to avoid doing that you see elsewhere on youtube, and what do you try to accomplish yourself?

I have heard you touch very tangentially on this in some videos, but only enough to hint that you are indeed conscious of what you are doing. You seem really thorough, hard working, and non-compromising, and you have made brief remarks of how you want to separate your own videos from other's before, but I would love to hear more and get the complete picture. Your videos stand out in a good way, the comedy, mood, and quality, and I would love to hear what you aim for to make that the case.

You may have to piece it together from different locations, but much of this has already been discussed in these forums, and in his non-machinima videos.

3) Can you recommend me any machinima to watch? I am a newb in the territory, and have only enjoyed the stuff on your channel and stuff like Arby 'n' the Chief, which only half way applies.

That's Ross's site for good machinima. He's espoused it many times.

4) What is you opinion of the Linux and Open Source community, and would you like to see gaming happening for real on those platforms instead of mostly Windows?

Last I heard, he want to see it happen, but won't hold his breath.

Fortunately Windows 10 is a big push to make everyone want Linux a lot more.

I'd like to submit a classic turn-based mech combat game:

MissionForce: Cyberstorm

Also suggested: Cyberstorm 2: Corporate wars. The Sequel that changed the way the game played completely, while greatly improving it at the same time.

C'mon, look at those titles. They mean absolutely nothing in that glorious way that mid-90's video game titles were wedged together from Nouns, Concepts and verbage.

In the game, you command a strike force of HERCs, in a taskforce created to fight the rogue creations of humanity: the Cybrids. Since Human lives are too precious to waste in something as minor as war, your soldiers are all "BioDerms", synthetic life forms mixed out of a slurry of genetic goo. Use 'em, abuse 'em, and shove 'em in the blender when you're done with them.

That makes it 2 votes for the Cyberstorm series.

This belongs in the Forum issues and improvements thread.

One more thing that my Guild in WoW used to do was go into arenas and piss on the competitive PvPers... We were a purely casual Guild, and everyone on the server knew it. (Azuremyst by the way) It would usually be me, and my next 2-3 highest in command. Once in the arena, and the match started, we would move as a small group to whatever the hardest to capture point was, and take it from the Horde. (or in the case of a conquest mode, we'd skip all the intervening points and take the final boss) This started to piss of the hardcore competitive PvP Horde players since we were able to win most matches in about 10 minutes with 3-4 players, and the kicker was we were 100% casual players doing what they just couldn't hope to do. The other Alliance members started speculating in chat that we might have legendary and high end PvP sets, but we started linking back our mishmash of green/blue/low-end purple equipment. They couldn't believe we were doing what we were doing with noob-quality casual equipment and a casual style. They also took a very direct interest in me, because I had equipment that apparently didn't work together, and was stacking all the wrong stats. Many of them refused to believe I wasn't hacking, and reported me. (naturally I wasn't) There were however a small few that took the time to listen to my reasoning for my stat stacking. As a Dwarf Hunter with a gun and a feline pet, I was stacking stats specifically designed to give agro to my pet, make my pet heal like crazy, and for me to do massive ranged and ranged AoE damage, (was getting IIRC ~3.5k DPS at level 60, upped that to over 8k by level 75) as well as break my own agro whenever my massive DPS outshone my pet's impressive agro abilities. (I routinely grabbed agro away from the tanks because of my DPS, and it pissed them off to no end if they were lazy/stupid tanks that weren't prepared to use abilities to hold the agro) Dozens of copycat builds showed up over the next few weeks, and Blizzard promptly nerfed the Hunter class twice in rapid succession. (this is enough of a coincidence that I think I may have been the cause of the biggest [debatable] Hunter nerf of the pre-Cataclysm Azeroth [c.2007-08])

Sounds like you may have had a corrupted file, and when it loaded into memory it caused a leak... It's been known to happen. Glad to hear it's fixed with a reinstall.

Should move mods to a server-seeded torrent system. This would not only allow direct downloads from the server, but distributed file sharing that will reduce bandwidth constraints for the server, and increase the likelihood of a mod surviving if the server copy is inaccessible for some reason. Unfortunately, this has been overly villainized by modern media, so it's difficult or impossible to achieve now.

If you use MAME there is an option called "pre-scale" that does just that. scales by an integer factor with nearest neighbor and then applies bilinear filtering to fill the screen.

Unfortunately I have no idea how you could implement this behavior in windows...

I've used MAME before, and that's what I was looking for ways to do for non-emulated games, but can't seem to find anything. I also don't think Ross has used MAME that much.

Here's how I'd tackle this. Start with a lump of clay, as big as a mouse. Warm that stuff up in your hands and slap it down. Mold the clay with your actual hand. After all, if you're going to go custom, go really custom. Once you have the shape the way you want it you have 2 options. Scan the clay and 3D print it, or bake it and mold a sheet of thermoform plastic around it with a heat gun or even vacuform it. Then use an existing mouse and make it happen. 3D printing is cool 'n all, but it doesn't have to be the only solution. Vacuforming is also very cool.

I was considering that myself, but I was looking for specific tutorials on how to do it in a way that wouldn't require any specialized tools or experience first. (needless to say, I can't really find anything really good for a tutorial for the more rigid thermoplastics)

This would be my suggestion for material if you like a bit of texture for your mouse... (and for something like a 'Claw' style design, you might want to include a few very small [1/32"] vent holes in the palm and finger areas to prevent over sweating)

You should probably check out the original Quake soundtrack... Composed by Nine Inch Nails, even the game sound effects were made by them/him. The tracks actually include a lot of the ambient sound for the game as well as the music, and NIN supposedly expanded on this style with the "Ghosts I-IV" album. (so you might want to check that too, it's an entirely instrumental album)

Also, big bonus... The author specifically requests that people pirate his stuff, just because he hates the music industry that much.

Idunno what to tell you then lol. There was no post deleting or editing involved. Unless the forum went weird and displayed an unfinished post before I even posted it. Assuming that's even possible.

As is implied in the first response... Strange things are afoot in the Accursed Farms.

Hero Siege. It's remarkably good.
