Understated Ur-Drakon Callie Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 We have not had one of these threads in two or three years, so I figured it was about time to start a new one. I also have a new computer, which means I also have a new desktop. Basically, just take a picture of your desktop and share it here. Fire when ready! Mine (I need more clutter on there.)

Easygoing Eyebeast Dantius Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 It's not much... I like my desktop clutter free. And by clutter free, I mean "I'm too lazy to figure out how to a) unhide my icons and change my desktop image". Why am I using Windows 7 again?

Well-Actually War Trall A less presumptuous name. Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Don't ask about anything unless you really want to know. Also, I used to just use apple desktop images until the big volcano eruption a while back. This and the immediately preceding desktop image came from the thread about it here.

Well-Actually War Trall Niemand Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 The file named in asian characters is left over from when I was writing the file saving routines for Graphic Adjuster; at one point I made a mistake with converting character encodings and that filename was the result. I assume that it is pure gibberish, but it amused me and so I've kept it. I too would like to know the correct name of the unknown file. I think that it's a BoE savefile that was corrupted during my investigations into cross-platform file handling in OBoE, but since I accidentally overwrote its name at one point, I can't tell anymore what exactly it was for or what I was doing with it.

Easygoing Eyebeast VCH Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Originally Posted By: Synergy VCH - I spy a folder on your desktop titled "Reality TV Auditions"...please do tell. -S- I applied for Wipeout Canada and Mantracker. Didn't hear from the Wipeout people but as 44,000 Canadians applied that wasn't surprising. As for Mantracker me and my partner are alternates for season 6, which basically means we'll be doing an episode in late September or October IF one of the teams has to cancel. But that's highly unlikely baring some real disasters, I mean who in their right mind would give up a spot on Mantracker. I'm hopeful for season 7 though.

It's the same key for Ubuntu (maybe all versions of Linux?) as for Windows, but it'll give you the option to either save it or put it on the clipboard thingy to paste.

Well-Actually War Trall A less presumptuous name. Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 All this reminds me of a command line hack I found a while back. It lets Mac OS X users set their screen saver as their desktop image. Quite nifty, but on a 7 year old laptop, it slows everything down a bit too much.

Though I can say I've played each of them before that, even the first one. Edit: I need to stop this habit of immediately doing whatever I think of.

I'm pretty much: any Settlers game <3 Rise of an Empire is the sixth one and very different from the first four. (I've no idea what the fifth is like) As I understand it's the first one to have PC heroes. The biggest complaint about it is the building of towns, which are all very much entirely alike. It gets dull and repetitive after, say, ten times - or fifteen - or after you've done every campaign and single quests you'd be at about fifty... The Eastern Realm expansion helps a bit though. I'd still recommend for anyone to play as long as they can. Aran: out of curiosity, do you play Settlers in German or English? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Aran Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 In German (in fact I bought the first three before I was even fluent in English). That's the original version after all. (Come to think of it; Blue Byte is the only German game maker I can think of that made international fame, though my narrow view only really includes the strategy and RPG genre).
