Dunno what you're blathering about talking about the modern world. Wasn't a fair chunk of what was preserved on Pompey's walls basically the exact same damn thing, just without the ability to take a bloody picture? Gods know we haven't gotten any more sex obsessed in the last few millennium than were already were the dozens before it. Just more efficient at bragging.

Yes, that's right. We have arcane powers greater than the wizards of yesteryear -- entire goddamn swathes of our species are now arcane behemoths compared to the legends of old -- and we use it more than most things to share amongst us tales of promiscuity and pleasure.

And thank the nonexistent gods for that. Of all the things to idolize and functionally worship, it's darn sure one of the better ones. Three cheers for fornication!

I just found out that the average WPM reading speed is 200. Woah. No wonder it takes most people so long to finish books. I thought that it was much higher than that.

At first I was like, "That doesn't seem so bad."

And then I actually checked the numbers and noticed that's over 8 hours to read 100k words. Those poor, poor souls

E:Thanks to the magic of XKCD, I have today learned that, apparently, the first human name we're aware of could be (probably mis)pronounced as "Eerie Whore".

Peoples. Halp. My mind is telling me there is a Maoyuu Maou Yuusha fanfic out there, that I'm fairly sure is fairly lengthy and may or may not be a crossover with fate/stay night. I cannot find it. It is driving me up the wall. I've seen one potential mention of it on a site that appears to be down and like, nothing else. Has... has any other fic readers here happen to have ran across it? And remember what it was called/where to find it?

Presumably the same one that decided federal unemployment's initials should be futa.

... also PC. And a few other things. But yeah, SimAnt and the WC3 custom maps -- there was more than one, by different people, iirc. -- are all I'm aware of. Unless you count that one war game style one involving insects that I've forgotten the name of. That'un was more than just ants, though, I think.

Wait, wait. There was... a thing. Gods alive, I can't remember what it was called. *googles* Ant War. Just... that. Kinda' strategy/sim-y, iirc. Think there was one or two tie ins to those 3d animated ant movies, too. Google finds stuff *shrugs*

The reproduction step for me is literally for the Incursion window to lose focus for any reason. Alt-tab, minimize, whatever. Upon returning to the screen, some sort of action has to be performed to cause the window to update. It happens in any window*, any game state, etc. It happens full screen just as readily as windowed, as well.

I would agree it's probably something SDL related, though -- I've had similar issues with ToME4, which is SDL based, and whatever was causing it wasn't consistent across users. Is there anything beyond reproduction steps that might help?

*E: Ah, though if you mean different versions of the windows OS, I'm currently on Vista. I'll actually be able to test on a few different computers next week (local school's campus) and see if the behavior is the same there, but that'll be two or three days from now.

Cheers, choose. That's going to be a major benefit to the game's stability.

For other folks trying out the new stuff... anyone else having what I'd guess you'd call performance issues? Game's running fairly smoothly (well, except for character generation -- rolling stats and whatnot are taking considerably longer than they did previously), but it's also pretty consistently chewing up the entirety of one of my CPU cores. Fairly sure this is some kind of video card/etc. issue on my end, but I'd like to know if anyone else is having the same trouble. Like to get some feedback on the issue before I submit anything on it to the tracker.

Similarly, is anyone else having rendering (I guess that's what it is, anyway) stop after a window focus change? I can swap over to another program or minimize, and when I come back to Incursion the screen will be blank until I enter some kind of action -- move, pull up the character sheet/inventory, etc. Again, fairly sure this is some kind of video/renderer issue, probably on my side more than libtcod or whatev', but it's more than a little annoying, ha.

Basically, semi-official sequel as EA ran of with the intellectual property<

Oh dear. I mean... sequel est, so I'm unsure as if to be happy or terrified, but. But.
