  1. Does anyone ever actually read these status updates? 🤔

      To sum it up: Everyone under your status update (including you) reads (your) status update(s).

    3. Dragofer

      Dragofer

      Yes, but I doubt everyone who reads the status update replies to it.

      Also, sometimes people reply to something without having read it.

  2. You all ought to check out The Black Parade over on TTLG if you have any heart for our kind of game. It's a grand tribute for the 25th anniversary of Thief TDP.

      Hell yeah, this might as well be the 2nd unofficial expansion of Thief considering we also have the "Shadows of the Metal Age", which sure was fun and I should replay it.

      BTW, does the box KO make more noise than the blackjack? If it does (and it probably should), then voila, here is a balancing mechanism to avoid excess crating.

      The crate makes plenty of noise when it lands.

  7. Another update on ProcWorld. I love following this project. http://procworld.blogspot.com/2013/04/video-update-for-april-2013.html

      Neat how the system just does not draw polygons that are not in view...

  8. Anyone interested in categorizing our FMs by type (City, Forest, Mansion, Church, etc)? It would be a really useful list to have. See this thread: http://forums.thedarkmod.com/topic/14846-fm-list-by-type/

      We may cut this down to some basic categories and specify them a bit more.

      Ok. Note there are 2 jobs here. For the TTLG thread, we need to use their categories. For our own purposes we can do whatever after that.

  9. Big earthquake in Tokyo today! It started with the ground dropping straight down, what felt like a foot or so straight down. I've never felt that kind of plunge before. Then a few seconds later the shaking started up.

      Let's hope they don't blame Demagogue in their angry search for the gaijin causing the earthquakes.

       

      I got blamed for some automatic doors not working because I was stood near them all suspicious-like, just waiting for someone to come out of the shop. Japan is just worlds apart, somehow I even loved the xenophobia on the few occasions it cropped up, maybe owing to how different it was to usual racism. More defensive than aggressive, really cool. I'm envious that you get to live there!

      Get accustomed to these moments or move tot another country. Japan is lying on a earth faultline.

      wow, sounds like a strange experience.

  10. Clever wordplay for the day: My friend noted that Ms. nee Stalin actually died last week, but the papers were Stalin on the obituary (which only got published today). I then gave him high Marx for such a clever bon Mao.

      I spell the color grey with an 'e'.I don't think the word 'colour' looks wrong with the 'u'. Same goes for 'petrol' vs. 'gas'. I cross my 7s and my Zs, but that's more German.For autos, I understand 'boot' and 'lorry' with no problem.

      Before I started watching Top Gear, I knew 'saloon' as an old style bar. Now I think of it as a 4-door car.Monty Python started changing the way I think before I was age 10.Not to mention A Clockwork Orange...

      I also say 'bloody hell' probably more than any other American.

  12. I can't believe it's taking 8 minutes to download just the screenshots of Briarwood Cathedral, only 2.3 MB. Forget about the FM itself! Wifi in developing countries like Burma has a long way to go... =L

    1. OrbWeaver

      OrbWeaver

      The fact that you can even get Wi-fi in a "developing" country seems like pretty substantial progress.

    2. Tels

      The screenshots shoulnd't be that big tho, they are displayed quite lowres in the menu, anyway. Anyone for slimming them down?

      Not worth it. I'll see them & get the FM when I get back to Japan.

  13. I did the political compass test and apparently belong in a Pirate Party. I wonder if being part of an open source project has influenced my politics. I do think information & people want to be free.

      I got to page 3 before I realized this test is probably put out by the administration to gauge the people's climate and future implications.

      I think it's run by a university. I don't doubt statistics are collected, but since it's taken internationally I think it's more valuable to professors than any gov't.

      I scripted a samurai themed FM (the story of Goemon Ishikawa) ages ago, along with 100 other FM ideas. Too bad I can't do them all, at least not at the same time.

      Thanks everybody!

  15. I had a dream last night where there were a lot of maroon diamond flags on a castle wall. Then I noticed they were all waving *exactly* the same way and in my dream I literally said out "Holy crap! Instancing!" haha

      Ever had a dream where you knew it was a dream while it was going on? That had never happend to me until a wile ago. Its a cool experience because you can do anything you want.

      I had that last week. I was walking down a street and I realised it was a dream. I knew that once the realisation kicked I would quickly wake up. So I decided to run in front of a car. It hit me and I woke up.

  17. I made an Axis&Allies style map for the Cold War in Asia if anyone likes that sort of thing: http://tripleadev.1671093.n2.nabble.com/Cold-War-Asia-1948-v0-9-td6795601.html If you want to play it, you'd use the free TripleA engine: triplea.sourceforge.net/

      The "&" has to be substituted with %-26 (take out the "-"). Stupid format switch.

      Yeah a little. Burmese is a bit more square and loopy.

      What exactly is it..?

    4. demagogue

      There are apparently so many Let's Plays on YT that they decided to make automatically-generated homepages for every game to hold all the LPs. That's what this is in a nutshell.

  22. I was searching Rocket Ranger today, just to get a flavor of its aesthetic or whatever (I recall it being pretty cool for its time)... And one of the top links is a "Rocket Ranger Helm" model by Baddcog lol.

      Anybody fancy making a "Minecraft meets Skyrim" clone and cashing in for a few billion?

      Can I be the consultant who achieves little and still makes a more than tidy sum?

      Alternatively we could just make yet another DayZ ripoff and cash in hard on that too.

  25. I'm looking at this stairway right now waiting for my train, and all I can think is tsk tsk, messy brushwork! http://i64.tinypic.com/15y7tpd.jpg
