  1. Turns out the machine god is real and is keeping my site's welder together.

      So are you gonna build a shrine?

      I'd have to explain to my boomer management what it was, and I don't know if I could.

      On the whole I don't know whether that's a good or bad thing but at least the welder's together.

  2. While you were being a respectable spessman, i was busy getting permabrigged by shitsec and boinked by admins

      which server do you play on?

    4. General DeGroot

      General DeGroot

      Goonstation 1 usually. I tried paradise and fulpstation, but I can't wrap my head around /tg/ controls as well. That and I have an aversion to using the arrow keys.

  3. fellas, did oldSPUF ever have an Archmage MC as one of its posters? I ran into a dude named that in a 2fort server the other day and it sounded familiar + he carried a lot of the bizarre cynical elitism a lot of the old SPUFians carried

      Yeah I remember BLK, crazy that he's a DSP simp now. Small world I guess.

      Did a search for "blk_mage_ctype" and got results for him posting on a DSP forum.  So confirmed I guess.

  5. With Flash being taken behind the shed out back at the end of the year, it really does feel like the golden age of the internet is officially over, with the internet now turning entirely into a corporate hegemony with no attempt for anything that isn't monetized.
    Is this how the cowboys felt?

      One of the reasons my windows 7 computer is still being used by me is for flash files.

       

      Last version of walfas create.swf is saved on that hard drive.

      Anyone that would make flash games is now probably making phone games instead, with in-app purchases of course.

      In the twilight days of flash games microtransactions were pretty common, so that's almost certain.

  6. Why is GOG hellbent on sending me deals that look like spam?

    1. Gyokuyoutama

      Gyokuyoutama

      GoG's management has went downhill in the last year.  Galaxy 2.0 is a joke.  Support is almost worse than Steam.

       

      They still dig up lots of games that I thought vanished from the face of the Earth and they still do a good job making them run hassle-free on modern OS's so I'll still support them but I don't like the trajectory.

  7. nothing quite says "pandemic" like my boss at the dojo saying he might have to lay me off.

    1. TheOnlyGuyEver

      TheOnlyGuyEver

      Dojo like karate?

    2. General DeGroot

      General DeGroot

      Yep. Might be the thing that gets me into a better job where I can actually have a social life again, so I welcome it.

  8. lord help me i'm back on tf2's bullshit. Currently running Comanglia's toaster config and I'm only getting 30 FPS. Any suggestions?

      I've heard good things about masterconfig.

      I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.  Hundreds baited by obvious pony threads.  I watched posters struggle to obtain worthless fireaxes by completing arbitrary challenges in a dying game.  All those moments will be gone now, like tears in the rain.

      I still whack my jag every night, in remembrance of what was lost. Among other reasons.

  11. Cracked open a monster ultra zero recently, now can't stop listening to Metallica/Alice in Chains and complaining about how much better games were back then

    Yep

      I used to pick up packs of those from the Dollar General and have one of those a day back when I was no-lifing Warframe with the boys last year, those were the best times I will ever have on this earth.

      I'm going to say something that may be controversial but I'm prepared to accept the backlash.

    In Which Rynjin Shills Himself

    Apart from pseudo-choreographing it irl, I'd search some sparring matches up online. For pure striking, do Karate and Kickboxing, for grappling do Judo and BJJ, and for a mix try Sambo and MMA. Kung Fu guys rarely spar as a rule.

    In Which Rynjin Shills Himself

    fucking sold EDIT: Just gonna drop my thoughts from my first impressions as some chucklefuck with full-time employment as a sifu/whatever the hell my dojang's equivalent is 1: Good idea using Kung Fu, namely five animals as your martial arts base - There's a lot of diversity in those combined arts which allows for a lot of freedom of explanation - Although I personally found it difficult to read my way through the initial combat scene. Maybe run it through with a friend while trying to keep a straight face. 2: The concept of some esoteric psychonaut-fu that lacks the usage of Qi automatically puts you in my good graces and tactfully covers the Qi energy field bullshit side of martial arts rather well 3: I have taught six-year-olds. The fact they managed to sit entirely silent for what in writing sounds like several hours is what most would consider a miracle. I need to learn this style of disciplinary action that hopefully doesn't involve a bamboo stick.

  20. Just so we're all in the know, the winter hunger games are liable to happen on the 22nd, with a possible break because i'm obligated to go to my dojang's christmas party. That or it won't happen because tight scheduling.

    Unless the eastern bloc countries are at the center of the world. Then it'd be some west coast pothead hanging off the edge of it.
  23. A Hat in Time has to easily be the coziest game I've ever played. Sitting my ass down in my comfiest clothing while it rains outside playing this game is a real treat.

      Coziest game? Cozy game...

      I play Silent Hunter 3 at full realism because I'm just that much of a badass.

       

      Now if you'll excuse me I need to go get depth charged by a destroyer for 45 minutes because I missed my torpedoes by a country mile.
