OpenTTD website
OpenTTD is a open source project based on the game "Transport Tycoon Deluxe", adding features to the original game while being portable and absolutely free! (You need the original game if you want the original graphics/music/sound, but OpenTTD otherwise have a free version. Just install and play!)

Anyway, people been asking me about the game ever since Yogcast covered it.
Yogcast part 1 - Yogcast part 2

So I'm wondering if anyone is interested in running a multiplayer game with me? I'm thinking of making it cooperative, basically one big company rather than multiples. Maybe Vanilla vehicles, maybe not. I try to not make it too hard.

I gladly show people the ropes over multi-player but the official wiki is strongly recommended as a manual. I been playing Transport tycoon for awhile, infact I started with a demo version in 1994-1995, so I guess I'm a 16 year old TT veteran.

Game is now ongoing at 81.225.80.29, server password is asdf. Join and ask for company password. The thread title will be server status.

There is always a little time to poke in and mess around day to day, some people play the game that way even in multiplayer.

Ninja AE maybe?

The Super Meat Boy admitted to a friend of mine who got in contact with him that he kind of cheated with the retro sounds. Apparently he did look into the various "NES" trackers around that would make native NES music, but he found them too hard to use. So he was just using some retro sounding instruments.

Which I thought was funny as his retro music (used for warpzone levels) sounds more accurate than most retro attempts I seen.

If at least two people is up for it, I can start a game right away. I probably use the customized settings of mine, with yet not so hardcore economy (aka not hard).

I personally believe that a large portion of "diagnosed" mental disorders are in fact faked.

And honestly, how hard WOULD it be to fake any number of mental disorders? I have a relative who's done just that.

---

Considering that most people are diagnosed as child (at least over here), and those people are rarely let known about it right away I doubt there is acting involved. I know there was over four years between dispensation and before I knew that I had asperger. I been told that I'm highly functioning and can act somewhat normally amongst most people (though I still find myself struggling with simple stuff like looking into other people's eyes when talking, just feel awkward).

Just wish whenever this topic came up it wasn't so focused on HURF DURF DISABILITY MONEEEY CHEATERS (I get none anyway).

I don't have taken medication or ever did. I'm unaware of there is anything some autistic take infact.

is 'circlejerk' the internet's favorite word now or something?

---

I'm surprised there are no equivalent of "Godwin's law" for circlejerk. I certainly start seeing that word overused, especially when someone is trying to criticize a certain group. It's kind of a tiring argument with rarely any base.

In other news, something I've ranted about on IRC earlier that bears repeating: this game is very sloppily coded. It's in C#, they've got all these wonderful toys to work with. But what do they do? They make all enemy encounters and friendly NPCs a single class (NPC), and each and every item too (Item). Each of these has a bunch of insanely huge methods to update and create instances.

---

Indie games in general seem to suffer from some weird coding decisions. It's the same thing for Minecraft for one (using floats where integers are a whole better is one thing).

I hadn't played Terraria in awhile, I just hadn't gotten in the mood again. I wanted to reroll a new character but the game is so slow in the beginning.

Team Meat hardcoded SQL login info into their client, and uses that for nearly everything in the game (scoreboard and custom levels database). And they were in kind of denial when they were found in the "We know what we are doing" way. That's pretty much top class stubborness.

____________________

Possible, though I usually try to have a game towards the evenings of the weekends (eastern US time). But it's hard to schedule those kind of things.

Anyway server is up and running again.

However, the one thing they didn't mention is its price. I get the feeling that this thing isn't going to be cheap.

---

I'd have a feeling that it cost as much as a decent computer would. Then again that probably would mean the flash memory would be of decent quality at least (a lot of flash drives are honestly crap).

Had it for two years, already had to replace the GPU fan (it went noisy) and the PSU (fan stopped working and it would overheat).

I probably won't bother upgrading other than replacing what breaks, although i probably would buy a new computer in 1-2 years at the earliest. Maybe I should get a widescreen monitor.
