      Thanks guys. It worked out great. And my ex-colleagues have put together a really funny laudatio/roast. :-D

      Congratulations! :D ...and welcome to the fold. :)

      Congrats Doktor StiFu :)

  2. To pick the job with shorter work distance and no need to move to a different city or the better paying one with shorter work hours, that is the question! Tough!

      Yeah and you can focus on yourself and whatnot. Moving and settling in with your belongings is like a second job for at least 3-6 months until you dismantle everything.

      Money is worth what you consider it to be worth. I wouldn't overestimate it's usage. I prefer free time and relaxation over bling bling, but that is a subjective decision.

      I am exactly the same. I have already chosen the nearby job and I am so happy with that decision. My girlfriend and I will move in together into a new flat very close to work. So that's awesome. :)

  3. Finally started Deus Ex: Mankind Divided the other day (after the Behemoth that was Witcher 3). So far, it is excellent as far as free exploration and oldschoolness is concerned. It feels like a return to the roots. Loving the shit out of it.

  4. While researching an issue with Kodi, I found this guy called Ned Scott (see link). How do you even manage to get banned after accumulating more than 30,000 posts? :Dhttp://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=159067&pid=1572249#pid1572249

      lowenz, who are you talking about? :)

       

      Thanks stumpy, it almost reads like the assholes are on the kodi team. But who cares, kodi sucks anyway. I am running Emby now! :)

  5. Got a spare key for Magicka 2, a nice 4 player local-coop game, which is currently at 15 € on steam. Anyone want it for 5 €?

      I got the spare key from a bundle, just for you interest.

      What has happened? I hear a football game was cancelled?

       

      They are shooting again in Paris: policemen injured in some suburb siege?

       

      Crazy times. :(

      Seems like there was only a mockup bomb. But even if it was just a mockup, it's still a bit scary.

    3. SeriousToni

      SeriousToni

      This was an important football game to show everyone of those terrorists that we are free and will not hide. Even Chancellor Merkel and some other high ranked politicians wanted to visit this game (which was the next big thing after the game in Paris) but sadly there were concrete hints on a planned attack and they had to cancel this other than risking peoples lives :-/

  7. How to do a multi-screen setup in TDM? I know there's been a thread somewhere around here, but I can't remember its name. Anyone? I am asking for a friend.

      There are links to the forum post in that article too ;)

    4. STiFU

      STiFU

      Ah, right. Thanks! :) Well, I just don't have a multi monitor setup here, so I don't know what settings there actually are in the driverpanel. But I guess he'll figure it out himself.

  8. I was at the IFA the last few days. Quantum Dot LCD is NOT the satisfaction we were promised by the display industry. OLED however still is and LG is increasing its portfolie. I think I'll wait until the next batch of OLED TV releases and then get me a nice new TV. :)

      Looking at getting either LG EF9500 HDR UHD OLED, or Panasonic CZ950 HDR UHD OLED, for my main monitor...Can't wait :)

    3. jaxa

      The darker blacks of High Dynamic Range (or OLED) make it relevant to The Dark Mod. 4K could be good for big laptops and desktop displays, and some companies claim the optimal resolution for VR is beyond 8K. As for TVs, OLED is thinner than other technologies, which could result in large and cheap displays eventually. The larger it is, the less pixel density, which means... 4K and 8K?

    4. STiFU

      STiFU

      Yeah, for computer monitors 4K makes sense, because you're a lot closer to the screen there relative to the display size.

      My wristwatch has exposed workings like that. It's the kind that rewinds itself slightly when you move your arm, so there's a coil inside that winds and unwinds throughout the day.

      Well I should qualify that; by the time I played it, it had been out for years, and I didn't find anything about it that was great. Just meh.

  11. "Enemy" (2013), don't watch this movie, if you're suffering from arachnophobia. And to all others: Better don't watch it either. :Dhttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt2316411/

      It is somewhat grotesque and to people who fear spiders actually really disgusting. ^^

  12. I was at the Mosel river in Cochem over the weekend. We visited the castle "Reichsburg Cochem" over there. It's an amazing place. Maybe I'll upload some picture of it in a few days. But here is an impression: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZfG-vjiisVY/U0eNWZ5FoAI/AAAAAAAAasQ/ypVi2QVutiY/s1600/reichsburg-cochem-germany-26115-1680x1050.jpg

      I had a great time in Rio too; years ago. The music, the beach, the sites, the sun. I remember playing No Woman No Cry (on request) on Copacabana beach at sunset with some random young guy singing along very emotionally. Interesting moment that goes beyond language.

      Good for you! I am having myself Kindle DX and I am absolutely content with it. Always wanted an E-Ink one, I was afraid of those LCD screens, because they are, after all, LCD (didn´t want to stare at monitor all day).

      Very nice game! I wish we had similar FMs. Technically, there is no obstruction.

      It's probably not a good idea to look at that when your drunk.

  21. I haven't been around too much recently, but when I do look into the forums every so often, I am always amazed how much progress is being made on the mod. Great work people!

  22. I presented my research project at a conference here in Dortmund the other day. It was very well received, which I am really happy about! :)https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc1/860576_314083732027389_967341234_o.jpg
