... any idea re: system or time frame?

That said, a cursory google search came up with, possibly, "Three Dirty Dwarves". Maybe on the sega saturn? I'unno.

I, uh. Actually, on this one, all the useless multimedia crap is the stuff you need to press fn for. Like, print screen, pause, and break is about the only things I'd consider using that aren't default, and they're "under" the home and page up/down buttons, over on the number pad. Think the only thing beyond those I'd actually consider using is the one that swaps monitor focus, if I want to go dual-screen (which is the silliest thing on a laptop, but been there, done that) or the primary screen breaks (been, done) and a monitor needs to be plugged in to use th'comp. Maybe the sleep button, too, I'unno.

For all the other complaints I might have about this lappie, the keyboard setup's mostly fairly solid (except for the tiny ass arrow keys, but I usually just use the numpad anyway so whatever.).

I remember them being violently floaty and next to incapable of anything resembling precision, as well as nearly impossible to get moving as quickly as a standard mouse.

So... there you go. That's why I avoid them like the plague.

I'm... relatively certain the Earth series has nothin' at all to do with Warzone 2100, for what that's worth. Entirely different studios. The former's an alright set of RTSes (2140, 50, & 60, with some expansions and whatnot in there), the latter is one of the best RTSes the gaming world has seen, in my opinion. WZ2100 was definitely one of the best of its time, at least.

So anyone else noticed the latest update seems to be really slow and full of desynchs? Like, I'm walking along and there's a trail of blocks floating behind me, inching across the screen until they're absorbed into my inventory.

It's been more or less like this since day one, for me. Update didn't seem to make it any worse or any better.

... no idea, Gir. No bloody idea. How tempting it is to take a gigantic screenshot with the statement "Knowledge is not Will" spelled out in blocks in the middle, and then post it unspoilered and uncropped.

So to save us all the bandwidth and annoyance (since I do know how to spoiler and crop, and greatly prefer to), just... picture it for me. Please ;_;

Geometry and Vectors test:

Lost 6 points for a technicality.

Problem said "B is the xy plane intersect, C is the yz plane intersect, D is the zx plane intersect. Find the coordinates of B, C, and D."
My answer said "~~ xy intersect is (1, 3, 0). yz intersect is (0, 3, 4). zx intersect is (2, 0, -1)". The work I showed counted for no points at all. The fact that I didn't label the points as B, C, D docked me 6 points. Those six points would have brought my grade up a ton. :/

I hate math.

I... seriously, can that not be, like, challenged or something? Especially if the work did not specifically state to label your answers B, C, and D. If response format is not specifically stated, it is not the fault of the student if they don't respond in the preferred method
