Whismur.
Like that one cave in Hoenn where Whismur are at every step. A little bit like you on the last few pages of this topic. ;P

The cave between Verdanturf and Rustboro, right?

Help / Re: Can you run Blockland on Windows 8?

Only issue I could think of mainly would be the generic video drivers installed, but otherwise it should perform like normal.

AFAIK skyrim is highly CPU intensive so good luck with that.

I'm on a strict budget and it does what i want it to do. Play games at a decent quality.

Where is this magical page where you selected to build this computer
i3s cost as much as the processor you selected

I think most i3s are better than the processor you chose, but that's fine I guess.

I know that feel, actually.
My NTFS partition on my primary SATA drive keeps corrupting for whatever reason, it actually wasn't picked up by the BIOS about four times now, and it won't last much longer I'm afraid.
It's really bad that I'm still using a 200GB IDE drive with ~7 years of power-on time, no bad sectors, nothing. The failure rate has grown on recent hard drives.

It's pure choice, we can't help you decide. Just look for what you want in either of them and compare.

I would try starting it again and again, if you can't manage to start it, delete everything in your steam folder EXCEPT the folder Steamapps and Steam.exe, and let it redownload the rest. If you've got a skin installed, don't delete the Skins folder in the steam folder.

What?

He's implying Chrome has more issues than Internet Explorer's current version, which it does.

just ignore koopa lol
he's a snide prick with a stick up his ass that he can't seem to pull out.

"A snide prick?" For giving people a suggestion for a browser that's better than your fabled Google tracking device? Bitch, please. I'll get over Chrome when you morons realize it's a terrible browser.

chromium does sound nice, despite my strong preference for Chrome.
opera is meh.

Opera performs immensely better than Chrome, especially under Linux. WebGL? Chrome may blaze through it compared to Firefox, but Opera has ~13% faster WebGL than Chrome. Installing userscripts? Maybe one that theme a page? You need stylish for Chrome to do that, but Opera has it built in. Don't get me wrong, Chromium is better than Google Chrome in more than three ways, but for performance, Opera is the way to go.

eitherway, just look at Chrome and Chromium. they'll both do you a lot better than IE or firefox.

I'll concur that Chromium is better than Firefox, but Google Chrome is in no way better than Firefox. I would expect Chrome to perform nicely on my 2.4GHz Celeron D 320, but it simply does not. Firefox may freeze occasionally, but I'd rather that then waiting anywhere from twelve seconds to a minute for a page to load.

Off Topic / Re: How do I enable this keyboard layout?

« on: November 22, 2012, 03:07:40 PM »

Under Regional and Language options, there's a button for Text services and input languages under the Language tab, from here you can change Windows' keyboard layout, the default input language, and various other options.
Have fun figuring it out after this, as I have no clue what to do after you set the options.
