My cat hasn't been himself since he came home from the Great Patriotic War. He drinks too much and screams about Stukas in his sleep. no but srs. I tried to startle my cats with bananas years ago. They looked rather puzzled, in a sort of "Well, yes? What's this about then? It's yellow and is...

I've been doing a bit of tinkering for something like that. A management sim where you're the only executive member of the town council after a nuclear attack, and have to manage the nearby area. Well, "tinkering" in this case means a very brief and undeveloped design doc and some notes. It's...

Ah, lovely! Glad it's not as sensitive as it used to be. Generous partition for the virtual memory and regular defrags and cleans all over ought to do it. Yes, the size was what made me ask around so I could use it efficiently. I'm not really bothered about 99.9% performance, so if the...

Splendid, googling how to set virtual memory files at the moment. Thank you for the reply, it helps out a lot! Not planning on any other OS than the one I get, so it'll be nice and simple that way. I always thought hard drives lost efficiency if you didn't partition them up, but it's nice to...

Unicorns forever! We're unicorns, and therefore best. Let us crush the enemies of the king like taco shells beneath our thundering hooves! Fishies, crabs, better stay nice and safe underwater.

So, I bought a PC. It'll come in a box and all I've got to do is set it up and install. But I've got some questions about hard drives and how to manage them. It's got one SSD on about 250GB, with a secondary HDD on 2 TB. 1: What do I install where? I know enough to keep the system files...

Long live the King! LONG LIVE THE KING! A storm over the buffet unleashed, Dawn of war, a trail of destruction! The power of fries won't prevail; See the hamburgers shiver and shake! The future of fast food unveiled, Showed the way that we still walk today! Der Tex-Mex auf Mitternacht...

I've gone defensive myself, I think it happens to everyone. Particularly when you feel that people are "just wrong", as it were. Like when DayZ got big, in my case. "Oh, what an awesome zombie-game! Shame it's attached to this shitty Call of Duty ripoff!" was one I got rather huffed by. But then...

Yeah, permanence's the word. Crysis did a pretty damn good job at it, along with other little features that didn't have very much to do with ultra-graphics but enriched the experience. Like throwing Koreans through cardboard shacks. It was great fun. They did, and so did Total Annihilation...

Erhteks in garms jernlysm?! Ye basterds! Rydell & Carter's running the Völkischer Beobachter of gaming!! Aaarg grrr hurrmpfff!! (no but srs, it's a bit of a shame. It's typical, devs make games, the production nobles make the dough and make dumb descisions. Not getting copies and getting a...

I don't really give that much of a toss about god-rays or super-duper antimastropic lightning. I notice it, and it's pretty lovely, but I'd rather you focus on bullet holes in a wall staying on the whole match. I mean it. Imagine RTS-es. Rather than having next-gen superfidelity dudes, they...

It's a neat ol' revolver, but it's hardly a magic bear killing device. You might as well try your luck with an old Colt or Husqvarna. If you want a revolver with bear-stopping potential (assuming you're American), get a contemporary large-caliber one. Ask for simplicity and reliability, and...

Yeah, that'd be pretty effective. I imagine they've got the lovely winged-people form for when they need to be comforting and familiar to mortals, but wouldn't bulk at entering their more true forms when a stern hand is needed. That'd be a damned cool scene, the meanies attacking an angel &...

True. It was more of a snipe at the way he came across in SC2. He was pretty damn good at his job, but he looked and acted like such a prat in the second series. Like storming off and shouting "This interview's OVER blaaaarghh!" rather than having the room locked down and a decent cover woven...

I think I've got about 1 TB in total, but I've used this PC for half a decade and I've barely filled about 400 GB. The next PC I'm eyeing will have a 2 TB harddrive, and I feel rather confident that I won't be able to fill it up at this rate. By the way, question: You're supposed to keep a...
