Post What's on Your Mind

[coyotecraft]

Some guys broken into our farm and stole a kuboda. The roads are all muddy and we think they tried using it to pull themselves out of somewhere they weren't suppose to be. They RAN OVER the gate. I mean, it's not high security. It's just a barrier so we know if something like this happens. But lol, we'd expect them to saw off the lock or cut the fence wire. There were so many subtler, less destructive, ways they could have gone around it.
Anyways, the police caught them. One guy was already on parole. We'll know more about what they were up to tomorrow.

I imagine that Amy posts when drunk, but posts by dictating to a speech-to-text program that accurately portrays drunk speech with drunk typing.

I had to think for a minute about context and what IG could be. My first impression was "What does Thanos have to do with the inspector general?" Kind of like how every time someone on the internet says "POC" now, it means "person of color." But every time I have ever used the term, it meant "point of contact."

And with the help of Google, I now know that Kubota is a tractor company.

One guy was already on parole.

Who was it? 24601?

LOL @ Nathaniel3W
Dude never play Star Trek Online. You'll be like WTF all day.

Spoiler: Look at this crap here

Use APO to get free.
Me: What's APO?
Attack Pattern Omega! (APA, APB, APD are the other skills available)

Subnuke my target please.
Me: Huh? What?
Use your Subnucleonic Beam.

I got killed by a FBP.
Me: ??????
Feedback Pulse... (GW, TB, TBR, PS, JS are other science skills)

Don't heal me, GDF is active.
Me: Omg what?
Go Down Fighting. Higher attack power with lower HP. ( BO, TS, BfaW, TV are the other tactical skills)

My RSP is almost ready. I can tank.
Me: Does anyone speak english on this game?
LMAO. Reverse Shield Polarity. (EptW, EptE, EptS are the other engineering skills)

Can't do anything, VM hit me hard. Use science team please.
Me: ..........
Viral Matrix. Come on dude.

Aux2Batt is a lame feature. It needs to be removed.
Me: Auxiliary Power to Battery?
Yes, you're learning now. (Aux2SiF is the other skill)

I think there's a BoP nearby. Be careful.
Me: Buffed out Player?
LOL. Bird of Prey, but oddly your answer is correct too.

I was so glad when my Noob days were over. Star Trek fans love explaining things, so they won't get mad at you. For non-fans, the game is a nightmare. I can't imagine how many abbreviations and new terms are in the game now.

 

[coyotecraft]

Third guy in custody. They caught him trying to burning the evidence in a barrel. Bunch of people's trail cameras, plus some other electric power tools.

If I ever need an ego boost I know I can just go visit my old university and all the lecturers will come out to shake my hand and tell me I'm 'on another level', 'the best there is', 'they've never had a student as good as me since' :thumb:
Judged a student game jam competition, apparently I'm a legendary programmer for them :shades:

I'm so cool and such

 

[Hybrida]

WTF?!

Don't flirt with me like that. OMG.
:girl: I'm so embarrassed. :girl:

 

[Ellie]

If I went back to Uni I do not think a single person would know who I am

 

[Fayte]

Oh well look at that it’s time to drink o’ clock

 

[Hybrida]

Happy Mother's Da-- Lets be honest, posting that here is a tactical waste, but whatever.

I doubt any biological, reproductive capable females visit this particular thread. (Except Lyra when she's checking my posts for sexual retardation. )

*Dumbass jerk mode off*

For those who still have Moms or mums, give her a call, or go see her if possible... For those without, Stay strong, live on. That's what she'll want. :heart: :heart: :heart:

*Dumbass jerk mode on*

Whew, I almost transformed into nice human being. We can't have that.

I love how next generation consoles = 5 to 15 years behind current high end PC's. It makes me laugh.

"Get ready for next-generation."
AKA get ready for obsolete garbage...

"But muh console exclusives."
Imagine the amount of exclusive games on PC from 1994 til now...

I don't really know the specifics of newer consoles but I honestly think that consoles such as PS4, XBONE and Wii U can offer a cheaper alternative to consumers. Sometimes spending £1000 on a gaming PC isn't viable and the PC is out of date usually within 3 years. My brother purchased this laptop 3 years ago for £1000 and I got it off him for £700. It's now slowing down greatly, playing many games slower and I'm lowkey worried about it going kaput pretty soon.

Another thing to mention is the switch.
I absolutely LOVE the switch and, despite it being technically worse than many consoles, it's portability is really what makes it for me.
I really enjoy playing indie games while on a train, or even just around the house. Enter the Gungeon is a big one for me.

I'll be honest, this is a topic that people hate me for because... wait for it...

I DON'T THINK EXCLUSIVES ARE BAD!

There's a lot of debate around Epic store right now and, regardless of their other practices, exclusives are a thing that can drive competition.
If you want a big mac, you go to mcdonalds. If you want popcorn chicken you go to KFC. You don't stand in burger king complaining that they don't sell a Mcflurry.
Steam has had a 10 year monopoly on the gaming market and to claim that it's a good thing is senseless, considering their app is entirely just a fucking windows 95 web browser.
They offer cheap games sometimes which is nice, but I was checking out a recent sale and OH MY GOD the amount of random bullshit games.
Steam are better for the consumer and sure, gamers will complain. However Epic are better for the developer and that kinda competition is important.

 

[Hybrida]

The Switch good because it's also portable. Who else has a portable hybrid system that powerful?

Analogy:
PS4 = Fast Car
Xbox 1X = Faster car
PC = Fastest car
Switch = Slower car, but it can fly

Switch just outsold the PS4 in japan!!!

That Epic and Steam crap is getting too crazy. Yes competition is great. It's getting kinda over the top.

Aaaand my laptop is officially fried. Like, no power, burning smell, done. RIP.
I think my HDD is fine though. Plus, I've had usb backups. It's weird though how this time of year there's always a crisis.

 

[Tachiba]

Coyote, maybe you could convert the HDD into an external hard drive? Can't let it go to waste

 

[Xilef]

Or put it inside another PC/laptop. Laptop hard-drives are just small SATA drives
EDIT: Also laptop drives tend to have small capacity and shit speeds, so chances are it's not worth re-using at all and it's best to just grab the data and forget about it.

 

[coyotecraft]

My new laptop comes with 2 drives. I might be able to just substitute it temporarily. I'm also looking for a usb to sata adapter. They're pretty cheap to order. Of course nobody local has them in stock. My brother-in-law might have one I can borrow.
Fingers crossed my laptop come in tomorrow. Idk what I'm going to do for the week without it. Dink around on my phone, I guess.

Ffxi online has a free play period starting today for its anniversary. . That would be nice to do.

 

[Ellie]

£2 in PC World for a caddy that turns a laptop HDD into a USB drive. Fast enough too. Plug and play.
