Swimmin' Salmon

he's not alone

seriously? i mean, i know this is the company forum, but i think even Jeff would agree that it's okay to take a break from playing computer games.

and let all the blood leak out?

Right. Only successful in the terms of its definition.

My uncle in-law sent a Christmas card a few years back which was some sort of crystalradiography thing. Or something like that. Buncha blue dots in a predictable pattern.

Excalibur - Health care reform is a laudable goal. Unfortunately, it had to be a job given to the Congress, a branch of government that is even more corrupt than corporate America, and is the least suited to providing a product which will be useful to anyone. I mean, Nebraska? Insurance lobbyists and the AMA both applauded the reform bill that was passed. That should be indication of one thing alone. Their lobbyists were able to shape the legislation in their image, not ours. Originally Posted By: synergy I miss the day when Americans really believed in and stood behind their president. I missed it too. Did that actually EVER happen?

he's not insane?

just who do you think would want to spend hours staring at a stupid iphone screen when they could just use their computer instead?

Originally Posted By: Synergy I'm guessing by the response that Salmon didn't read my comment about derailing topics. Not a good guess, since I specifically mentioned a part of your post which came AFTER the dérailleur section. I just didn't read the substance, as you had kindly informed your audience of your intention. As far as not having expectations, I find that a bit disingenuous. A person who is not expecting anything from their audience will not publish at all. The moment you publish, you are expecting a person to read your words . Of course, that person can either respond in that media, or within their own brain, but there will be a response. So yeah, you are putting words out there with the foreknowledge that you will get some kind of response.

Always disappointed, I thought this would be a discussion on the Edwards tape.

Synergy - If your intent is to look at a small part of vch's post, and comment on that with 1000 words (possibly more, I didn't count read them), does that instill upon the rest of us the necessity of responding in a like manner to the balance of the post in order to re-right the thread? If so, it seems to be a rather unfair burden you are forcing on your fellow forum-goers. One thing I have noticed around here recently, is that people will actually start new threads in cases like this, in order to allow focus to be maintained in one thread, while permitting an (perhaps) active auxiliary discussion elsewhere. Does this seem like a fair way to deal with this?

I keep telling lepton that she needs to leave that relationship. One day she'll see the light.

Why is it that I read the OP, and just knew I would find a reply from Synergy in here?

Sounds like those designers knew ahead of time that they wouldn't be in an interactive relationship with the players, and planned accordingly. And, it sounds like you haven't yet achieved player-skill necessary to avoid that particular demise. Get back to work!

From Intel's website, regarding your GPU chipset. Quote: The Intel® 82865G graphics controller supports hardware acceleration of OpenGL* applications in 16-bit and 32-bit color depths. OpenGL* 1.3 is the latest version currently supported by the Intel® Extreme Graphics Drivers. Drivers that come with Windows* or that are downloaded from Windows* Update typically do not support OpenGL*. For optimal performance of OpenGL applications, install the latest graphics drivers from Intel

It's quite obvious that the problem is that people play Rogue at all. I mean, if you can't all agree that a game is good or bad, then no one should play it or enjoy it at all. Sheesh.

Yeah.

http://www.pixelpoppers.com/2009/11/awesome-by-proxy-addicted-to-fake.html I think most folks here are into mastery, rather than just performing. Isn't that what Jeff's games encourage, as far as audience?
