  1. Damn, another person stretching the screen.... PUT IMAGES WIDER THAN 800px INSIDE SPOILER TAGS!!! Actually, unmodded skyrim has given me no significant bugs apart from the death by 'giants launching you into space', and New Vegas wasn't made by Bethesda. As for the bugs that are known, they are statistically very rare. The Fallout/Elder Scrolls games usually have less bugs and are far more stable than the average AAA games of the past 15 years. (and yet have about 100-1000x the content) Also, Bethesda has always been totally awesome about patching bugs promptly. (at least ones that can be patched)
  2. Ranch flavored Corn Nuts, and Gatorade.
  3. I usually do cultural wins in Civilization as well... Problem is I keep getting AIs that don't like my culture grabbing their cities from them, so they go to war with me. (usually a mistake when they tend to still be making sailboats while I'm stockpiling nukes) Has anyone else noticed just how stupid the nuke system is in Civilization? IRL, a tactical nuke will take something equivalent to a level 21 city down to a level 2 or 3, and slowly reduce that number over a few weeks/months, and a real ICBM nuke will completely remove the city from the map. The game only chops the population of the city in half, and takes like a half dozen to eliminate the city completely after reaching level 1.
  4. DOS is a 16-bit OS. 7.22 isn't really the classic DOS, but a modification to make it 32-bit for Windows integration. Try installing MSDOS 3.0 on that processor. Though later 32-bit processors can run 16-bit programs and OSes, it isn't really natively running it, just as 32-bit programs aren't really running natively on 64-bit Windows. (it's very close to no-performance-impact virtualization)
  5. Interesting... This reminds me of the difference between Australians and Americans... Australians were criminals who didn't like following the rules, but never rebelled against the government, and eventually became very similar to the English culturally. English Americans were typically minor nobles, never committed a crime in their life, but defeated the strongest military of the time, and became a very different culture.
  6. I personally would like to see an updated plugin myself... Get a widescreen format for the video sizes instead of the current (old) 4:3 ratio.
  7. Now, if it had been a video contest, I would've recorded my skyrim glitches... The weird opening scene flubbercart issue, and when the guy gets beheaded just after choosing your character, his body twitches, and his severed head jumps straight up out of the catch basket 3 times. (occasionally leaving the basket) Or even one where General Tullius is vertically squished, walking with his body horizontal, and one where his 'floor' is 2 feet below everyone else's.
  8. It's not just you, and it's not just Android 6... The plugin used by the forum is very old, as is evidenced by the lack of almost all functionality in it. (the full screen switch does nothing, etc.) Really need that updated. (and I think the issue has been mentioned many times before)
  9. Take a vacation Ross... You deserve it.
  10. CBBE, UNP, or 7Base? Also, not HDT mods? Not a fan of physics? I'll have to recompile my list since I'm going through another fresh install due to a few semi-serious glitches. (and the random CtD issue) I'll PM you my list.
  11. Now that Earthsiege and the Tribes series are released completely for free, there's no barrier for Ross on reviewing them. (and I so desperately want to hear his opinion of them, especially an Earthsiege vs Mechwarrior comparison)
  12. You have Steam? If you do, contact me on there, and I can walk you through setting up a VirtualBox install of 98... (you need to download a disc image for 98/98se, and the VirtualBox program first though)
  13. Yeah, you're gonna want to make a VM with Windows 98 or earlier to run it... It hooks kernel functions is why.
  14. According to the Bible, one world government is one of the precursors to the end of the world... It'd be bad, but a part of me just wants to see the world end anyways. Right now, it's totally impossible for 1WG to succeed. (too many groups that would violently oppose it, and have enough firepower to back them up)
  15. Find me an island to do so, and I'll prove you wrong... Make sure it has the capability of sustaining me for the whole year though. (food, fresh water, etc.)
  16. FhRm09CTGEI Check it out.
  17. +1 OT: Grats to all winners!
  18. IAU changing the definition of 'planet' behind the backs of most of the IAU members. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IAU_definition_of_planet#Criticism http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/ciencia/supressed_inventions/suppressed_inventions.htm (I don't ascribe to all of these, but it's still there) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2425775/Climate-scientists-told-cover-fact-Earths-temperature-risen-15-years.html http://www.naturalnews.com/050759_EPA_pollution_toxic_heavy_metals_Health_Ranger_science_lab.html https://books.google.com/books?id=VCBjUhs2pMYC&pg=PA178&lpg=PA178&dq=scientists+covering+up&source=bl&ots=jKhwINRIn4&sig=yJXSZtBllbJdUux1XKC87R8JFGc&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CDIQ6AEwBDgKahUKEwjG8sC1pOzIAhWEPiYKHVO-BUU#v=onepage&q=scientists%20covering%20up&f=false http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/science/2015/02/fda_inspections_fraud_fabrication_and_scientific_misconduct_are_hidden_from.html http://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20150609-103058064 (requires payment unfortunately to access the article) http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/List_of_conspiracy_theories On the contrary, I have submitted several basic designs for vacuum energy generation, (one of which I actually had a small functional prototype of) but have literally been laughed off because of being "a crackpot uneducated moron who thinks fringe science can ever be real science". (not joking, those are the exact words) They will never consider a grant for someone who doesn't have a PHD in whatever field they are applying for a grant in, no matter what. (and those type of people are usually indoctrinated by the school system to believe that fringe science is at least 300 years away from being real, if it's even possible at all) I could go very in-depth about this, but this really isn't the place to do so. (it's more of a social and philosophical indoctrination issue than it is an issue concerning oil and its future implications. The modern designs can't even be sent critical if you tried. Add in Thorium reactors, and you have an even safer and cheaper energy generation system. The major modern designs use up all the long-term radioactive material, and have essentially no waste. They produce slightly less energy, but I feel it would be worth it. There is really no reason to worry about disposal or storage at this point in time, as there is more storage/disposal space already available than there is fissile material on the planet.
  19. So when are you going to give me back my downvotes?
  20. Yay! Now we just need to get the voting system back, and break it with my downvotes being too much.
  21. Problem is, just about every one of the current 'environmentalist' crow is vehemently against any nuclear energy systems... This cripples our current energy generating capabilities. Then there are scientists that are still so heavily against advanced technologies because they personally don't understand it. They label it as 'fringe science', similar to what happened concerning Nikola Tesla's wireless energy system. (they didn't understand it, and didn't want to, just like is happening concerning any form of 'fringe science' today)
  22. The majority was paid for by the Government, and that was back in 1992... The rest involved a loan taken against our home, then selling our home, getting better paying jobs for my parents, etc. Completely debt-free in under 6 years.
  23. I will say, Galactix is one of my all-time favorite old games.
  24. Also, much of current 'renewable energy' projects aren't really anything but money grabs... They don't try to improve anything, and they don't even consider looking into any of the more interesting technologies that could be used. (stuff like vacuum energy, bio-energy, or environmental thermal energy conversion tech)
  25. And because it's incredibly inefficient to extract plant oils on a scale large enough to fuel a large percentage of vehicles in the USA.
