Haha maybe we need a reminder thread. I mean I should try to get back into Snake Rattle n Roll hacking, I was tempted to look into hacking the games Ducktales too.

It can be funny as long it's not overacted. All those let's play youtube videos where every other word is swearword (save those for actual major fuckups).

I would like to play both known (SMB3 as a example) and unknown (obscure games or rom hacks) runs.

Gas Stoves are quite uncommon here, I hadn't seen one in awhile. I guess it might be more common in some cities though, but not down here in Scania.

I live in a nice village which is near the sea and plenty of plantlife and variation (not like a dull suburban with identical houses everywhere) with immediate access to cheap public transportation. We have a relatively big garden too I been told. My only beef is the commuting time, so I have been considering moving closer to work.

3. Large kitchen... by Tokyo standards, at least. Most kitchens only have one electric burner and a tiny sink, but mine has two (!) gas burners, an area to cut vegetables and things, and a nice, roomy sink. Unfortunately, having a big kitchen cost me a bathroom sink... but that's getting into the things I don't like about my apartment.

Tokyo probably have the amongst smallest apartments i seen, wardrobe sized ones when taken to the extreme.

Actually that's false. DVORAK was made with ergonomics in mind. So was QWERTY, but the idea was for it to be anti-ergonomic. Typewriters get fucked up and broken if they're perfect ergonomically.

Spring keyboards are the best, and I'd like to at least learn DVORAK one day, but having used QWERTY for my whole life... I feel like it'll be a nightmare. And I won't get to hunt and peck. And how long would it take to recover my typing speed? My QWERTY sped is probably around 100 wpm or something silly and high like that. I'll bet at DVORAK within a month I could to 50-60.

---

Pretty much, the improvement in typing speed from DVORAK I heard about was either marginal or anecdotal at best. I'm not sure learning DVORAK would be worth the pain, especially after you learn it and you can't use QWERTY keyboards anymore due to relearned muscle memory (it's already a pain to me to use different computers cause of different mouse sensitivity settings).

We were at a german university for one week. Hilarity ensued when I finally could use a computer and it had a german keyboard (I think I just winded up installed the Swedish keyboard layout though).

Since you're messing with it's cooling, you should probably get something that can measure the temperature and then play something intensive for the Wii . Just in case.

That you can't click a video without it turning out to be something that 999 out of 1000 people disliked. (No like/dislike bar near video thumbnails)

---

Most of those 90% dislike videos are trollbaits with misleading titles. Why youtube seems to be encouraging those videos popularity despite being obviously suck by the ratings is beyond me.

Though I'm fine with controversial videos popping up as those tend to have 50/50 ratings (videos criticizing creationism for example).

To be fair, WoW pretty much took elements from previous MMO's itself. It was just really wellmade too.

It's kind of funny seeing kids today call a MMORPG a WoW copycat over some element that they think they copied from WoW, when it's older than WoW.

A game called rogue would like to have a word with Diablo.

That... And it's the special edition red from Christmastime 2010, and I'd hate to not be using that case.

Bad idea to mod it then. You should always use the version with the most mundane (common) casing as possible, unless there is hardware differences in some special models that might be useful.

Maybe one of the Mario games is a good start, I see a lot of mentions of SMB3 in the thread so...

Game is going to continue in about ten hours from this post (time in title).

Just keep in mind that the ongoing game uses non-default settings. It's slightly more complicated although not necessarily harder.

Compared to a default game:
Road vehicles: More profitable and a lot of vehicles, but still really easy.
Trains: Less profitable, more complicated with way more choices
Ships: More ships but more profitable too so still easier.
Aircraft: Less profitable, encourages variation so you just can't spam jumbojets and concordes. Still very easy though.
Industries: Harder and more variable but it's not punishing like some industry sets. You're rewarded with extra cargo if you transport different raw materials to a industry, but you aren't punished if you don’t bother. For example you get the most out of a steel mill if you provide both coal and iron ore, but you still get steel if you only provide one raw material (even if steel out of only coal is a bit absurd .

If you have any questions, just ask!

Really windy today. Don't know by how much, but nearly enough to tip me over.

On the other hand it's kind of cool when the wind pushes you in the direction you're walking to.

Looks like SOPA isn't going go up for a vote. Also I read that Wikipedia joined the blackout too.
