I'unno, poh, I'm sure at least one or two of them are sufficiently aware of environmental issues to know they're potentially apocalyptic (to roughly the same extent as a biblical one, anyway) and still working contrariwise to them. So cheer up! You've probably got grounds enough to assume some of your friends are doing things they think will bring about the end of the (human) world.

E: And now I can't figure out how to make a gender neutral version of this. Argh.

Don't be bored,
be a bro!
Know your friends bring the end of snow!

And yes I'm entirely aware that's not a good representative of most near-future predictions of potential environmental devastation. Not the point. Point is to be catchy and close enough.

Batman doesn't drink.

Neither will I.

I looked up Batman facts to prove you wrong but it turns out he is indeed a teetotaller.

Not exactly. One of the various story arcs involving an older bruce starts off with him as a straight up alcoholic. Dark Knight Returns, I think. Batman isn't actually a teetotaler, per se, he just doesn't drink because of the whole peak physical condition thing. If he's lost reason to maintain that, he's not particularly adverse.

If it's windows, you should be able to run dxdiag and find out, I think. Just kick it on and check the display tab. No clue if that still works on 7+ or whatev'. But before that, you just hold down the start menu button, press r, and then type in dxdiag and click ok.

*shrugs* Why not? You got a problem with cows? Cows are pretty awesome. You can eat them, and they provide milk. Plus they can easily kill you but are generally pretty gentle and whatnot, it's nice. Not bad as livestock goes.

Heey, interesting. King's Bounty stuff looks like it's going for 80% off. Space rangers is sub 4 USD, if someone out there that wants it doesn't have it. Infested planet's going for 67% off, at right under 5 USD... I'd probably say worth it, at that price. That newer shadowrun thing going for three bucks for the base game. Defender's Quest for 5... one of the more solid TDs I've seen actually sold, imo. Looks like the Commandos stuff is going for a dollar or so... total. Space Empires 4 for like 2 USD. Spiderweb software's stuff is going for cheap again, if anyone cares (in a bit of hilarity, the entire geneforge saga is going for the same price any one of its component parts are :V). Lotta' pretty decent stuff in the sub-5 category, really.

That... is actually kinda' annoying. There's a stree overlord, which isn't a game at all, and street overlord, which is.

And pk spelled the google search differently than the post initially mentioning it, so there's now no actual clue if pk's talking about the "performance" enhancer or the ZC-780 game. Or both, I guess. NJ's first post in response is a very relevant one.

E: I'm now wondering what the hell stree even means. There's apparently three different movies with that exact word as its entire title.

And... it looks like it's an obsolete word for straw? What?

E2: Why the zog would you name your dong booster "straw overlord"? Is there some kind of virility symbolism behind straw I didn't know about?

E3: That would make like no sense, though. Straw is what you get when your plant dries up and dies. That's, like. The opposite picture of what you're aiming for, there...

Best suggestion I would have would be to just turn everything down. All settings to minimum. After that, maybe try swapping UI styles -- I know a version or two back there were substantial performance issues with classic, ferex. After that check and see if you actually are getting memory leaks of some sort... there's definitely at least one edge case I've ran in to (Scrolling up the message log, though that mostly nixes the massive memory bloat after you close the log, instead of requiring a restart) in the current version.

... and after all that, try asking over on the T4 forums, if you haven't already, heh.

And yeah, TWs are pretty great nowadays. My only regret is that the dogs are Cs instead of Zs. Dat lack of zephyr hound ;_;

E: Well, that and the fact they the game breaks if you try to run a dark fae time warden, which is the damnedest of shames. Seems to happen whenever one of your racial clones gets frozen or somethin', after which everything goes to buggery and your equipment starts getting deleted at more-or-less random. Really unfortunate, because the only thing better than time clones is time clones that cause racial talent clones to appear that cause more time clones to appear, all of them throwing more arrows and blinking around the place and basically turning the level into a danmaku stage.
