I'm in a stuff mental state right now and have nowhere else to vent, so...dump warning:
I feel like I'm stuck in the past, but at the same time, I can't come to terms with how lonely and sad my childhood was. I keep trying to play games I played as a child and eating food/drinks that reminds me of those times, just trying to recapture the fun I used to be able to have as a child. The last time i was really deep into enjoying something was back when I was buzzing myself on DXM, which, I don't want to do again because I don't want to depend on drugs for happiness. I used to wonder what was behind certain doors in video games, simple websites still amused me, I wasn't nearly as mentally/emotionally fragile, I could think so much more clearly, I could still feel really happy, and life just seemed better in general. Yet, at the same time, my childhood was kinda crap. Teachers and my dad were constantly pissed off at me for one reason or another. I still get nightmares about people being pissed off at me for things I don't even understand I did wrong. Even throughout high school, I didn't really have much in the way of genuine friends. I was kind of an annoying, immature kid (which was probably undiagnosed ADHD, looking back on it), so pretty much no one wanted to hang out with me. To this day, outside of a 4th grade sleepover (that I got punched in 7th grade for ruining), I never really got to experience hanging out with people. Not even at recess as a kid. In high school, it was probably partly because I lacked a phone and social media presence, but still.
Even in spite of this, I keep trying to relive the past. I think maybe I'm just trying to compensate for my crap childhood, maybe? Just trying to find happiness in a world that gets increasingly stuffty and depressing by the day? Maybe I just can't accept that I'm stuck with a stuff childhood forever so I'm just trying to experience one I never had?
I dunno man, I feel loving weird and pathetic. This isn't healthy, but I can't afford therapy. Especially when it's been 7 months with nobody hiring me straight out of college.

« on: February 09, 2022, 05:47:11 AM »The Earn It act is important, as it's a dangerous weapon against privacy.
But this is equally important, as when people can and can't protest.
As well as what is and isn't allowed involving protests is also at stake.
This isn't "culture war nothingness"
The Earn It act will likely be next, when it's more relevant. Seriously make calls to your representative about the Earn It act tho.
If this passes it'll likely be worse than the Patriot Act.
I wish we didn't have to fight against this stuff every 2 years, they need to leave our privacy the forget alone. It's infuriating that this kind of thing never seems to go away.

Should we add Tekari getting hacked? Pretty odd that someone on a dead lego game forum that requires a game key (Not that you can make postable accounts anymore) still managed to get hacked and post a virus link.

General Discussion / What is this Blockland update on steam?
« on: January 30, 2022, 03:44:59 AM »
Anyone know what was updated, or why steam downloaded an update for Blockland? I didn't verify files or reinstall it or anything.

« on: January 23, 2022, 05:03:20 PM »As someone who only ever rely on friends to play my servers, I've said this so many times over the years to people, the best way to maintain some decent popularity is if people had more stuff that's actually interesting to host, and I don't mean just snatching something off of blockland glass or the forums, or going to someone's github hosting conans jailbreak, like actually take the time to work on something for a change. Even if it's a similar formula or something completely new, and have some kind of consistent schedule for hosting. It'll give people a reason to look forward to playing every so often rather then just wake up and see an empty server list regardless of the timezone. It's hard for me to say I've really done much recently because I still have my hands full on a couple of projects but I'm trying at the very least, I can't say the same for others who just complain the game is dying but literally won't take the time to try making something with the endless amount of resources that people have made for the last decade.
The reason I suggest hosting something new will do the trick is I've seen so many old users return on a rare occasion, either on my server or someone elses many times, but once they see nothing of interest is really about and it's only maybe one or two servers that caught their eye, they go back to whatever it is they were doing before and the game is left to gain dust again. People do commonly make returns but they wont stay if there's no reason to.
Filipe1020 recently did just this with Speedkart Remastered.

General Discussion / Re: what is the lowest-end hardware that can run blockland?
« on: January 22, 2022, 12:34:25 PM »i did try getting blockland to run on a 2gb pi 4 when i first became aware of 86box several months ago and i didnt find much success, if i remember the large issue was getting steam to run and it would get stuck while trying to load. from what ive heard its much more compatible with stuff now so i might consider revisiting it
Yeah, I ran into that issue too. The standalone version of V21 runs fine, minus the authentication. Same if you just run the Blockland .EXE from your steam library folder. The steam installed version wouldn't launch from steam however due to some "Configuration error" or something along those lines.
B4v21 seems to run just fine, thankfully, and it auths correctly. I should mention that I was running TwisterOS which has a bunch of stuff preconfigured.

I got retail to run on a 1.8ghz pentium 4, 512mb of ram, and a 16mb Radeon 7500 (IBM Thinkpad T30)
It stuffs the bed if you load the demo house.
Also Blockland is capable of running on a Raspberry pi 4 (4gb model), though it's higher end than the thinkpad I just mentioned considering the game's actually fairly playable on lower resolutions. I even hosted a server for it on an old BL version for a couple of days. It should be capable of running both v21's client and server, but I can't get it to see steam's runtime so I can't auth on it.
