Not to be dismissive, but just that I don't want you following me around the BLF

so how exactly is he following you?  I really don't see this.

That wasnt me. Zoneark (nivens buttbuddy who had his BLID deactivated for phishing) changed his name to that to make me look bad.

thanks to the capabilities of modern technology we can now blame anyone for being an starfish

Keep fighting the good fight.

What's that supposed to mean?

It's using blue on the menu bar entirely out of the blue (heh), it has windows fonts that don't fit entirely, the active window has a border on the window chrome that doesn't exist in the original, along with buttons that touch that and just look terrible, the "about this mac" dialog has non-rounded edges, as well as a greyed-out button that is near unreadable because the text is the same color, and the window control buttons are far too spaced out/small.

these are Kinda funny. My suggestion is that you should draw on blank paper, Unless you don't have anything like that.

I disagree, where is the joke in these?  I sort of see it in the last one, but it could use a lot more fleshing out, as it stands it's really hard to figure out what's even going on.  The art in all of these is pretty decent, it's just that most of these jokes are really obscure in-jokes.

To solve the whole grid thing, find something with non-photo blue grids (many notebooks have this), then use a non blue channel for the image.

and this is why people who are not designers shouldn't design things.

Lucasarts has pretty much ruined most of the Starwars games in the past, and THQ didn't do much better.

But they are bankrupt thus don't do business thus cannot ruin games.

As does EA, Activision, Capcom, Lucasarts, THQ, and pretty much every large gaming company.

Damn, lucasarts and THQ ruin game companies despite not even publishing or developing anything anymore?

Would this be a fun game to stream with commentary? I just bought it and would set up a stream if people would watch.

Neither fun to watch with or without commentary.  It's all about playing it yourself.

How is that even possible? Does the game get the map from online?

I have no clue, my best guess is that it's compiled into the executable.

that sounds more like a personal problem than a problem with all of microsoft to me

clearly its working for everyone else

sorry, i'm just slightly loving pissed off that my windows installation, despite reinstalling the goddamn os three times in a loving row to get it to not boot over my loving linux drive, might just have to be installed again because it just decided it didn't want to loving upgrade.  This is also my excuse to complain about all of Microsoft because of the stuff they constantly pull but get away with somehow.  I've spent the last few days trying to use visual studio with opengl so excuse my bias.  Because requiring a loving linux compiler to actually make linking an external library make sense is great design.

Right after finishing a part of setup, my PC bluescreened.  No wonder it was code named windows blue.

Edit: great, now my windows installation seems to be entirely roostered up.  Why the forget do people still buy this loving stuff?  Microsoft has proven time and time again that their products are garbage and refuse to run under any normal loving circumstances.  This is actually the forth loving time since I bought the goddamn os that I've had it forget up at precisely 3 loving AM.  Why the hell do I keep buying this loving stuff?  I know it's just going to blow up in my face at the worst possible time. 

Edit 2: and now, after two loving restores, it boots the previous version because the goddamn stuff just can't upgrade (even the preview would fail every time, though not as spectacularly as this) for no loving reason other than windows is as stable as a space-born baby taking it's first steps on earth in a plane mid-takeoff.

What's wrong with playing Blockland in fullscreen?

because blockland is an interactive chat client and instead of building I just idle.

« on: October 18, 2013, 03:59:53 AM »

I've always despised math. It simply isn't my cup of tea. While I still passed my classes I remember a majority of my time was spent wondering when the hell I would ever use this stuff in life, and as of so far, I never have.

this is the worst reasoning ever.  When the hell will I use chemistry in my life?  When the hell will I use history?  You don't use it, others do, especially right now when things like computer science are huge.
