> mfw no Linux
I bought Creeper World 3 when it first came out. Loved the previous two Creeper World games. They all run well under WINE.

Steam refuses to offer any game to me that doesn't have an explicit Linux release, so I end up bypassing Steam half the time to buy games from the original authors. Not sure if that's better or worse.

Seamergency 2014!

While there's no ironclad guarantee that the last requests will be completed, just a reminder that donation arts are getting placed in http://sharks.thatquestsite.org/art/index.php/Seamergency-2014 as they come in.

Thank you again, everyone who participated and everyone who donated. The sharks thank you!

Hey Anon, might want to say more words here. The picture shows a really sweet looking product, but your description does not inspire a lot of confidence. Maybe some sort of discussion on what is good about it and why you didn't like it is in order? Otherwise this has the feel of "does anybody want to buy my castoffs?" and it is not a super compelling sales pitch.

>>26413
Fair enough.

What I liked about it:
+Screen is huge. Lots of real estate to draw on.
+Brightly lit and colorful.
+Has a great stand for setting up the screen, very stable

What I didn't care for:
-Battery-powered pen
-Doesn't work as a multi-monitor set up. The tablet has to be the primary display.
-Uses a VGA cable. Not a big deal, but eh.

Tablet sold! Thanks to all the interested parties.

Maybe it has something to do with the time of summer?

>Samsung 840 isnt out yet. Did you mean 830?
That's the one. I'd just read Anand's review of the 840pro, so the number was stuck in my head.

i rund the dew plutonium cardboard box with the marker hq display with the macaroni pasta class 2 keyboard and the superglue harddrive. It's great- run into lot's of lag occasionally but runs fine otherwise.

Phenom II X4 955, 3.20 GHz quad core
8 GB RAM
Radeon HD 5700 series
big ol' ~2TB HD I got right before the prices jumped due to flooding in Thailand
really, really cheap Logitech wired mouse and keyboard because I didn't feel like spending money on it
two monitors, one 1440x900 and one 1280x1024

Put it together for pretty cheap. Works well enough.

>>22527
ohmuhguh we have almost the same computer.

The differences being my video card (geforce GTX 460), HDD space (a bit under 1.4tb) and resolution of monitor 2 (1024x768, the highest it'll go and still be at 80hz)

BESIDES THAT, EXACTLY THE SAME

well, okay, my mouse/keyboard are microsoft.

Um. So basically, only the CPU and amount of ram are the same. Boy, this got silly in a hurry.

Uh

ASRock H61M
Intel Core i5 2500k 3.3GHz
8GB DDR3 memory
2048MB Nvidia GT430 (fairly low end, really)
1TB HDD, Idk what brand, as well as another 1TB WD external drive.

I don't really have any fancy peripherals, other than my tablet (which isn't overly fancy, either).

>>26224
fraid i got no clue what EST is, unless its referring tro eastern standard time in which case I am also in that time zone since i live in the deep bowels of Michigan.
Anyhow, as for contacting me, I go by the same name on both tumblr and skype, and I am on those most often.
You can also find me on the irc as Archivemode.

I've recently made a new IRC channel, #questdis, also on Rizon, in the hope of creating a discussion that's more focused on actual quests and questing.

Nothing against the main channel, but it can be a little... chaotic.

Indeed, and now that the time has come, we must kill ourselves, in order to rejoin with our extraterrestrial progenitors.

The threads are pretty short. I wouldn't say it'd get in the way. You could have a recap in the start of the first thread here, too.

>>26133

Hmm thanks! For some reason that didn't cross my mind. I'll start thinking something up in the next few days then!

We have had a couple past refugees who just posted all past updates in story time mode, then when it was caught up, the author announced the start of interactivity. That archive does look a bit long for that to work as a straight port, but you could probably condense it with a higher word to picture ratio.

>>26143
Thanks!

Hey which board is best for starting an art thread? I don't have the best artist eye and sometimes I need help telling what's off about something I just worked on. Advice and criticism usually help me work on more art.

/draw/ is where every one puts their art threads.

Here is mine again. I actually don't use Matlab: I just keep the icon there to remind myself to learn to use it. I've managed to keep the desktop relatively clear of junk for months now, which is nice.

It was a pretty great episode

season two is confirmed. free drinks for everyone in the local breastaurant tonight.

depends, do you want to pick up where you left off or do you want to try something new?

so as you probably already know, they did it, they beat pokemon red. and as you also probably already know, they start on pokemon crystal.

So my question is, do you think the whole helix dome thing will carry over to this play through or do you think they'll make a whole new religion for the crystal run?

>>25971
God I hope not, and please let it be something else, respectively.

given that neither the helix nor dome fossil exist in Gen 2, I doubt the joke will carry on.

My money's on squirt bottle.

has anyone been keeping up with this second run? I've been kinda busy so I haven't seen much of it.

>>25987
nope. Sorta been ignoring it, really. Not sure why, gen 2 is my fave

Also if enough people want me to enable specialmobs then I can. It's a simple file modification serverside and enabling it clientside + minor change to the instructions.

eating my words. Updated the addon pack and the instructions.
You need to also enable specialmobs, and the new addon pack should additionally have archemedes ships and Redstone in motion.

Check above. The txt and the zip included were both updated for monster .10. Was a pain in the Arthur Dent to get it to not mess up its own item ids whenever you ran it for some reason. Some stuff probably vanished or might need fiddling with to get working, but I haven't found anything overly broken yet. Talk with Deadbeard or Seven if you need something spawned and/or fixed.

Now to shotgun recent things.

Lagotrope is now a mod, and will be in charge of favicons. He can also edit posts.

Lawyerdog is now an mod, leaning towards IRC stuff.

Starit is no longer a mod. We wish him the best!

Dylan added a script to do image replacing. All mods are now able to replace images.

All pages now show 20 threads, up from 15.

I made some changes to the top of /quest/, /dis/, and /arch/, making it slightly easier for phone users to change boards, and making the Catalog View more obvious/visible. What a long sentence!

"View first 100 posts" is now "View last 100 posts". I'm open to the idea of making it 150.

/icons/ was made public. It's no longer in an experimental phase.


Please keep discussion in here civil. We're literally on the same board as Big Dumb Arguments if you want to shake your fist in fury at any changes that were made.

I admit, it mildly irks me that I keep confusing this thread with the bird thread.

Otherwise, most of the changes seem good. I don't know what the consequences, if any, would be of making view last 100 posts 150. Longer load times?

let me know when he takes dogecoin

An excellent ploy to pocket bitcoins by playing to people's sensibilities.

Seriously, a bitcoin wallet address and no other identifying information? Are bitcoiners just stupid or am I missing something? What exactly would this "money" be used for??

>>25790
Most aren't but I bet that wallet got some money anyway. Easily enough to be worth the work of making that poster.

>>25792
Should have gone with Dogecoin instead. I bet they're much more liberal with their spending right now.

>>25793
Definitely, dogecoin is all about sharing.

So what kinda magic we talking about here? There's like, a bazillion different kinds for the categories you've given. You might as well ask "Who is a Wizard?" And try to hold down which practitioner's name belongs to which tradition like pinning the right tails to several different donkeys while blindfolded.

I guess you could break it down by gridding with written source/region/author on one axis and method/medium/implements/power source on another.

For methods there's the spoken word, simulacrum manipulation, writing or inscribing blessings/curses/instructions, miracles in response to supplication yadda dada da and the beat goes on. Can't tell you how many traditions there are; gives me almost as much a headache as heraldic terminology.

>>25769
> How
wait, do you mean how do they work inside the context of the game (ie discussing the nature of 'manna'), or how do they work as game rules (ie matching the power of an effect with the stats of pre-set encounters)

>>25771
There's a hell of a lot more applications of magic in the Discworld series than telekinesis. Afaik the only thing that was nailed down about it was that you need to spend a lot of personal effort to get any powerful magic effects. Memorizing a spell to cast later requires a similar amount of effort as what the spell does. It's sortof like conservation of energy except not really.

Rituals and magic devices seem to be mostly exempt from this rule, which implies they draw their energy from some other source. Rituals are pretty much just about pleasing the spirit involved, I think, so it's not so much a summoning as dialing a telephone number.

>>25785
i didnt mean it like telekinesis, i meant like throwing a fireball looks really impressive but all it is in reality is moving heat from one place to another, and refilling a glass with brandy is the same.

this is due to the sheer amount of power needed to conjure a glass of brandy into being, you basically have to expend the amount of energy that would have been used in all stages of the brandy's existence until it reached your glass, its far easier to simply act as a fulcrum to moving brandy from decanter to glass.

The same with the fireball, generating heat takes a lot out of you, but the actual throwing is simple movement, thats why wizards or witches seeking to heat or cool things will often simply use a local heat source, say a fire or (in one memorable case) the sun.

Fucking love discworld mang.

>>25756
That fans can do awesome things, and shouldn't let their glorification of the creators get in the way of their own self-respect. It's a nonstandard and very refreshing take on the idea.

>>25759
You've still missed the part that the entire episode would not be possible without blatant invasion of someone's privacy and this is a bad thing to teach.

Not to overstate it, but this episode sucked a dick and anyone who liked it also sucks a dick.

Actually that's overstating it. But it was bland and unconnected to fucking anything, no character development anywhere, Discord isn't a villain anymore he's just a less interesting Gilda, and Pinkie just vapidly follows balloons she sees.

Come on, Ponk, I know your cutie mark is balloons but really.

Song was fun I guess, but discord isn't dangerous anymore and none of the horses even treat him that way. They react like he's just some dude that likes to fart in public places. He's annoying but not really a problem.

All the other episodes with him and they're scared of his potential to ruin Equestria, and here they're all just like "UGH THIS GUY" and it's boring as fuck.

Also Cadance walks funny, stop lifting your feet so high, weirdo.

>>25872

What can they do if he goes dangerous anyways? No elements, so long as they treat him okayish he won't go nuts, as shown by fluttershy.

I mean if they piss him off they can't really do shit. He's mostly just trolling because he knows he can get away with it, he doesn't do it with pinkie cause she'd like it, and he doesn't want to hurt fluttershy so he waits till she's gone.

Plus, I mean, let's face it. Pinkie Pie is best pony.
