It ran on my old peice of shit with a 64mb video card at least somewhat. But that thing also got 60fps on stalker: SoC somehow. Apparently the blue sun mod or whatever is around on steam beta too.

Well, I can run stuff like UFO: Aftermath pretty well, but this one looks like it has actual lighting effects and what-not...
I might grab the bundle of it and the other one anyhow once I get paid. Or I might forget completely, who knows.

So my friend went to Belgium for a science conference. Brought me craptons of chocolate and stuff, and also a question.

Is it true that Belgium has 50 Shades of Grey on the cirriculum for literature class, or is somebody pulling my leg? Please don't hate me, I am clueless.

What Avis asks actually worries me too. No, really?

I remember the devs of 7.62 were pretty cool guys too. When demoniod was still around they were talking with people about the game on the comments for one of the larger torrents of it on there. They seemed happy to just be getting some more exposure.

I have 7.62 on some indiegala bundle I bought forever ago. Is it actually worth playing?

I personally liked what I played. Though it's kinda clunky, has a weird translation and it's immensely unforgiving. You might wanna give it a try but try and keep an open mind given it's a game made by a small team with almost no budget, with quite a lot of ambition given the way things are modeled and designed.

It can be. On the Pro side: It is the most detailed and complex small-unit infantry combat simulator on the civilian market, with nearly every actual infantry tactic possible in real life possible in the game, an extremely diverse and mostly-accurate (Russian calibers such as 7.62x54mmr and especially 7.62x25mm Tokarev are noticeably more powerful than their real life equivalents, but not to the point of ridiculousness) weaponry catalog, and a unit getting shot (unless they have armor (which, of course, is extremely realistically modeled) that beats the incoming round) really, really sucks.

On the Con side: It is the most detailed and complex small-unit infantry combat simulator on the civilian market, with nearly every actual infantry tactic possible in real life possible in the game, an extremely diverse and mostly-accurate (Russian calibers such as 7.62x54mmr and especially 7.62x25mm Tokarev are noticeably more powerful than their real life equivalents, but not to the point of ridiculousness) weaponry catalog, and a unit getting shot (unless they have armor (which, of course, is extremely realistically modeled) that beats the incoming round) really, really sucks.

It is a question of how much that appeals to you.

That seems like an excellent review. You should chuck that up on the game's Steam page.

Oh wait really? So...

Now Dark Souls and Kancolle are connected very loosely. I don't know why this makes me happy.

I wonder if we'll see an official moe version of Solaire. ... Naahhh. Moe-moe solaire would be freaking adorable though >>

The only proper Solaire is Solaire-senpai, the dependable upperclassman. Solaire-sensei also works as the quirky teacher.

Computer was being especially slow, so I closed my browser and the couple-of-dozen tabs I had open, and my physical memory usage dropped from around 80% to under 30%. :o I miss the good old days when I just used a couple of separate windows, and scoffed at those silly tabbed browsers.

Found out that a guy I know is in an extremely abusive relationship, and is not doing anything to get away from it.

This is more sad than WTF, given how sadly common it is.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Emotions can be incredibly stupid things.
He'll get over it one day, hopefully.

Sadly I always find myself avoiding Solaire most of the time in the original...
