  1. Almost five years afterI got it, my Nvidia GTX 560 Ti finally gave up its electronic soul. Despite only having 1 GB of VRAM, the 560 Ti still managed to run many of the latest games at over 30 FPS on high settings. That little card gave me so many incredible gaming memories. I always imagined that I would gracefully retire it after purchasing an upgrade, but the universe obviously had other plans.

      @Epifire. That would be so incredible. I'm so blown away, I don't even know what to say! Let's PM on the subject.

  3. 'Tis too quiet. Maybe I should summon the minstrel!

  4. Once again a new mapper seems to have joined or circle. Praise the Builder for those who have seen the light shining from the Book of TDM.

  5. Building detailed rooms is seriously time consuming. Nevertheless, the battle continues and will (hopefully) soon be over...at least for this room!

  6. Finally rebuilt all my 'layers' in DR. Thankfully, it went quicker than anticipated. Now, I can get back to mapping!

      Most certainly. In the process of rebuilding one room, and it is so nice to be able to clear the map completely and work just on it. :)

      Me too! Your post reminded me that I hadn't gotten around to watching the show. I have literally been pausing the episodes every few minutes so I could get screenshots of the sets!

  8. Are forum account names permanent? If I wanted to alter mine, how would I go about this - provided it is even possible?

      Thanks for all the feedback, guys. I never anticipated that a simple question would spark off all the comments above!

       

      I understand the arguments against altering one's user name - the points raised certainly have merit.

       

      In my case, I would simply be changing my name from "Dunedain19" to "XIX_Dunedain_XIX".

       

      Would this be too radical?

  11. Very interesting video on archery.

      Regardless of whether he has truly re-discovered a lost aspect of archery or simply cobbled together a variety of styles still used today, Lars' mastery of the bow is well worth appreciating.

      Moreover, one of the core aspects of academics is the proper use of citations/referencing, which should ideally never be single-source.

       

      The 2nd video does a good job (even if the tone could appear more reasonable) of highlighting where Lars is "cherry-picking" information to support his claims.

      The second is certainly critical, perhaps overly so. Nevertheless, it raises important points about how Lars is perhaps going too far in some of the claims that he is making.

       

      To be honest, the tone I picked up from the 2nd video is one of intense skepticism (which is understandable given who the producer is).

       

      I certainly didn't get a "your video sucks and has nothing of value" vibe.

      And an equally fascinating response to the video.

  15. Just finished mapping (on paper) out the one floor of my WIP.

      @Goldwell. Not yet!

       

      @Steve:. Thanks for the encouragement, this is my fourth attempt at making a map, and it's the furthest I've gone! So really want to make this one a reality for all of you to enjoy.

  16. Thoroughly enjoying all the new things in 2.03. Just wish there were more textures (particularly in the wood category)...

      Thanks, Goldwell. It's been a while since I looked at the Wiki...I suppose I'll need to download GIMP in order to get the ball rolling?

      Thanks for the link! But how would I go about getting them into TDM?

  18. My WIP is coming along nicely!

    1. Dunedain19

      Dunedain19

      I do not at present, Sir Taffsalot. There are so many elements that have to come together before I even reach the Beta. Brainstorming this weekend has given me even more rooms to build, which all make perfect sense for the narrative. If anything, I'm hoping to finish up the primary architecture within the next two weeks. But even that estimate is a stretch, because I do not want to burn out on TDM (which happened last year).

  19. Watchdogs: Requries Uplay on PC in addition to Steam - WTF, so another game I wont be buying.

    1. Dunedain19

      Dunedain19

      It's what I expected to happen, this is Ubisoft we're talking about. Ever since they started with their DRM nonsense a few years back, I decided, then and there, to always wait until their game prices are super cheap before purchasing. It does't help matters that I currently cannot run Watch Dogs with only 4GB of RAM...

  20. Would a video explaining proper city visportalization be useful?
