Games / Left Alive
« on: September 20, 2017, 09:47:14 PM »
holy stuff
"Announced at PlayStation's pre-show press conference, information is as yet thin on the ground however we do know the Armored Core series director Toshifumi Nabeshima is on board, as is the Ghost in the Shell: Arise and Xenoblade Chronicles X mech designer Takayuki Yanase (also worked on Armored Core 2 (and Another Age), MGS4 Guns Of The Patriots, and Metal Gear Rising: Revengance).
As you may have spotted in the header image above, the Metal Gear series character designer Yoji Shinkawa is involved too—forming a team which will 'join forces to create Left Alive's dark and gritty world.'"

Quote from: Microsoft article
This error occurs because new processor generations require the latest Windows version for support.Which is naturally bullstuff because you can still run 7 and 8 using these architectures. It's not a required update. I recognize you're interested in jamming 10 down people's throats, Microsoft, but windows 8.1 isn't even out of mainstream support.

Off Topic / "Don't Be A Sucker" - 1947 US Anti-Fascism Short Film
« on: February 17, 2017, 06:39:39 PM »
A surprisingly relevant 1947 short film on propaganda and how it led to the rise of the national socialist Party.
Before anyone starts throwing accusations or uses it as undeniable proof 'X' political group is bad, I'd like to say you are 1) missing the point, and 2) contributing to what this film talks about.
However, I will also note the reason I find it relevant, which is that these tactics are being used on multiple sides of many political conflicts and that it's shameful that we haven't learned anything from history.
Anyway, thoughts?

Off Topic / Windows 8 and 10 are flimsy pieces of stuff
« on: April 30, 2016, 10:19:30 PM »
I just spent about 5 hours or so troubleshooting why my PC was stuck in a boot loop with the very unhelpful error message 'CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED'(because there's like 50 different things that can cause this).
This is the second time this has happened within a year. The first time was that a hard drive had died(overheating issue due to this comp's case sucking ass because it puts the fan within inches of the hard drives so wires can get sucked in)and promptly became Jesus once I shelled out for a shiny new SSD and installed Windows on it, this second time killed the master boot record, and I spent time richarding around because the first error message it gave me (something about the windows config being corrupted) and the fact CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED can often be a driver error pointed me to believe that I needed to chkdsk.
That didn't do anything, so then I took off the side panel of the case to check if the hard drive fan was running, and also disconnect the other drives to check if they were interfering.
And then I had to jam several different small objects into a very small port in the CD drive because Windows cannot figure out how CD drives work if they don't have CD's in them(the port tells the drive to move the motor manually rather than do it according to how the driver it has wants it done), and put an install disk in there to do a recovery with bootrec(which decided that Windows wasn't a real thing for forget if I know) and bootsec(which was completely inconsistent with which drive(between the SSD and the 'system reserved' partition) it believed was being used(hint: the actual answer is neither, i'm running off the disc godammit) despite using the /force flag which shouldn't care if there's a drive in use to begin with.
This all happened because of a single bluescreen from a wifi dongle crashing because my router was kicked offline because god knows why.
tl;dr - windows is an unstable, whiny bitch and it's recovery options suck richard

Games / apparently the steam controllers are motion sensitive/gyro equipped
« on: October 23, 2015, 10:52:21 PM »
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B43ibnztDLc
basically it has a gyro that can tell if you move the controller to do things
also the setup in general sort of reminds me of something like PCSX2's level of configuration ability, almost

Modification Help / How the hell do I fix this syntax
« on: April 11, 2015, 07:20:39 PM »
So, I've been trying to get into torquescript recently, and wanted to make a little script to roll a dice with a max output defined by the user, but I kept having problems with the script:
What'd I do wrong/how do I fix this?
also, is there a better way to print the output?I've basically just been looking at snippets of other scripts that have outputs like this and I get the feeling there's a better way to do this.
(also i want to make it message all(i tried announce(%1"","has rolled"@ %output @"out of"@ %maxvalue @"!"*") but I wasn't sure if using %1 would output it correctly, so i changed it to messageClient and used %client instead just so i could make sure it worked first))
Code: [Select]
function servercmdRoll(%maxvalue)
{
%output = getrandom(1,%maxvalue);
messageClient(%client,"","has rolled"@ %output @"out of"@ %maxvalue @"!"*");
}When I start a single player server, the game flips out and refuses to load it, giving me this:Code: [Select]
Loading Add-On: Script_Roll (CRC:1566994399)
Add-Ons/Script_Roll/server.cs Line: 4 - Syntax error.

Suggestions & Requests / [FORUM REQUEST] Make quotes automatically snip [IMG] tags.
« on: March 08, 2015, 12:10:33 PM »
In order to stop people from quoting entire topics, I propose a simple solution of making it so that when you hit the quote button(or 'insert quote' if you're already posting a message) that IMG tags and their contents are removed from the quote in a manner similar to that of how quoting someone automatically removes any quotes inside of that one quote to prevent pyramids.

there's other videos of this guy doing insane-ass stuff, I think some of it's highlighted in this video
if not, this is some of the stuff he can do -
Fire 11 arrows in rapid succession before the first hits the ground
Fire arrows from a moving motorcycle and hit his target(s)
Fire 3 arrows in midair before he touches the ground
catch an arrow in loving midair and fire it
and some other really insane stuff

Suggestions & Requests / SMOD-Esque weapon movement
« on: February 20, 2015, 07:04:17 PM »
SMOD has a really neat system where the weapon isn't locked to the center of the screen - it slides around, almost arcade-style. Would it be possible to do something similar in Blockland?
