and functions like this ^ except it was the original version of the mod with a generic extinguisher and firestarter
Well I remember on the initial release it had a really stuff bucket mod and he was nagged to change it. I'm not aware of any betas.
Thanks for link, will try.
EDIT: Yes I noticed a change, you broke it. No datablocks added, doesn't work at all.

I did violin for a bit once. It was alright, I never felt very attached to it or the music so I stooped.

Any piano song that can't be physically played by someone is a piece of crap IMO. I don't think it sounded great.
It looks nice in the midi program but its just silly.

Whatever floats your boat. Of course, people do tend to use lucid dreaming for loveual fantasies.
I remember reading a dream journal of somebody who swapped genders during love. :u

« on: May 07, 2012, 09:44:21 PM »Using audio to lucid dream is useless IMO.
Yeah, most of that crap is placebo or just relaxes you slightly.
All of those lucid aids, drugs, "lucid dreaming" masks, machines, and iOS / Android apps are all unnecessary and just pull in suckers who are impatient. :u

Music and audio is designed to change your state of mind I believe, but its not designed to make you stay still, nor induce a lucid dream from nothing. I'm not sure of the complications of ADHD in doing that. Though I know a few lucid dreamers who have it so it won't stop you.
A common mistake people make is going to bed and trying to WILD straight away. It doesn't matter if you manage to stay still, you are almost guaranteed to just fall asleep and not get lucid. You should try adn WILD after being asleep for at least 3 to 4 hours. I suggest you look into WBTB and DEILD, these are branches of WILD that most people use because their success rates are very high and they don't take long to induce. Its what I depend on.
"Staying still" doesn't literally mean locking up and not moving. Relax, get comfortable, and try not to move. If you need to itch or are getting very uncomfortable, then it is okay to move because the implications of getting tense and uncomfortable are worse than moving a little bit and getting back on track.
Try to focus on breathing if you need a distraction.

Off Topic / Re: Need to get a new computer, which of these would be best for gaming?
« on: May 07, 2012, 10:14:27 AM »
eMachine has a laptop graphics card which is a bit odd. Apparently it can run games okay, but demanding games "on low settings". As for the CPU, haven't looked into it, but it doesn't seem that great.
Acer has AMD Radeon HD 6530, which is considerably better. The CPU also appears good in the Acer.
Go with the Acer if its a choice of the two.

« on: May 07, 2012, 06:12:05 AM »I do believe that its called Fire mod, it was created by Zor
This is not correct, but close.
There were two firemod versions. The original, created by Zor, would attach itself to bricks and spread slowly over an indiscriminate area until the build was completely destroyed. This was available during 2008 and was later ported. It came in the form of a 'fire wand' and a 'fire hose'.
A later mod created by Halcynthis during late 2010 is the one the OP is talking about. This spread at a much quicker rate, and would 'singe' some bricks and destroy others. It would not spread to baseplates. It was much less laggy and bricks would often explode when destroyed. This mod was significantly better because builds were more realistically damaged and you could be left with a burned shell, where as Zors destroyed everything.
Hals cam with a 'bucket' and a 'match box'.
Unfortunately Hals mod is extremely hard to find, I've lost my copy. Zors firemod can be located with a quick Google.

Religion is lifestyle thing as we all know, and its huge globally. Makes sense to target and exploit an audience of trusting and slightly naive people.

... hope nobody is surprised.
Companies do this all the time. Its to trick you into thinking its better. It works the other way too. Candy companies sell "NEW MINI" versions of their products that are the same but have less content. Soda companies create new bottles that hold less but cost the same. And quite often, cereal companies will re-brand the same cereal as a new product using a different name and logo.
ALSO re: lays
Walkers is the original, started in 1880 apparently. It was an independent UK company but was later taken over by PepsiCo and adopted Lays logo etc. Lays came into existence in 1930ish.
