Bay 12 Games Forum

So, yeah. I feel like we could use this thread, considering that tomorrow everyone that still has to go to school will have to go to school. Yaaaay. :c


Experiences, expectations, shitty roommates, as long as it's school-related it's relevant. I don't really have anything to contribute as of yet, altough I guess it's cool that I'll see all my friends again. It's in a different building than last year, tough, so gotta get used to it.

So, I've been thinking about this and think it would give some nice discussion.


Say, humanity dies today. Nothing changes about the climate or anything, all humans just fall over and get a heart attack and die. Pacemakers explode. 10 000 years pass, and aliens with FTL travel find our earth, and colonize it. They start digging, and find archeological traces of us. Or do they? Where would they find our stuff, what would they find and how would they interpret it?

Virtualbox decided to fuck up my .vdi. I renamed it, tried to clone it to a different one wich wouldn't work for whatever reason, named it back and now it won't work.

Oh, and it also won't change settings ad givess an error when you try to save stetings.

E: Also, I don't really understand how Civ 4 works. I have 4 games in my steam library, and if I want to play Bts, do I just need to launch Bts or the Civ 4 one?

It's that time of the year again, and many people are shopping their avatars to include the festivities. Will you? This is the place to brag about it.


I'm not entirely happy with mine, but the head of my avatar is so close to the edge of the image ;_;

Alright, so i want to update my ATI mobility radeon HD 5650 driver.


Any tips?


I'm asking it here, because last time i tried it, it went horribly wrong and i ended up with a mangled screen resolution. (i think it was something in the regions of 1549x867. Aka, really weird)

I'm just going to take a wild guess and presume most of you guys have steam.
So yeah, if you want to be able to be nagged contacted by other B12-ers at any time, this is the place.

So yeah.
Here's mine i guess.

Steam name: Miauw

Nearly everybody in B12 is probs in middle school or college or even past that.
So yeah, i guess everybody had at least one mildy crazy/awesome teacher.
As i guess these stories can probably be slightly amusing i decided to make this thread.


I so far had two awesome/crazy teachers.


1. My drawing teacher. He was a little bit abnormal, but an incredibly nice guy and good teacher. He always said that my things were good, even when i knew they werent good, as i cant really draw for shit.


One day, he was going to explain something, we were drawing bugs from pictures, so he cut the form of wings out of transparent paper for somebody so she/he could draw it correctly, he had them on his desk, and he put them on a pen.


Teacher: "Whats this?"
Random kid: "A dragonfly!"
Teacher: "No, its a piece of paper in the form of wings on a pen"
Me: "Ceci n'est pas une pipe?"
*teacher starts telling stuff about René Magritte*
A while later:
Teacher: "Alright, what was i going to explain again?"


God i loved that teacher.


2. Just today, a teacher i havent had before, he's a nice guy and funny, used sauce on fries as a methapor for politeness.


Teacher: (to me) "If you go get some fries, what sauce do you like on them?"
I was quite surprised, as i'm usually the silent one and i dont really like to be the center of attention.
Me: "I usually get mayonaise or ketchup..."
Teacher: "Do you like your fries without sauce on them too?"


And the conversation continued for a few questions.


Now, tell me your awesome conversations with your teachers.

So yeah, i crave a new avatar so i have decided to make !!Magma Cat!!.
I am nowhere near proffesional in this, but i'll follow MZ's advice on how it should look:

You need to add three things: A background full of &s instead of stars, a c instead of the cat, and instead of the rainbow?


‼MAGMAAAAAAAAAAAAAA‼

I'll post some updates here, the end result should be animated. I got a CP-437 picture from wikipedia, and adjusted it a little bit so the dwarves look like those in DF (even tough i dont think i'll be using them). I plan on using only the things on that codepage, even tough i will have to resize them myself as paint.net automatically antialiases it.

Also, i'll probably upload the things i used and resized for you guys to use. The lack of things to use for DF parodies is disturbing.


Current Progress:

98x98 Grey "c" in the middle of a 400x400 picture.
