I LOVE shameless plugs.
I also do them, and I am almost slightly ashamed of this.
Seriously sometimes they're what keep FGRP alive.

In the future it will be all "Oh it doesn't even have motion controls" "Oh it uses a controller?  Lame" "It's barely even 3d!"  "You can't even see the sweat on mario's face!" "It doesn't support the google subdermal experience?  No point playing."   "I don't play games unless it's CoD 54 or up. You wouldn't last 2 seconds in the Saturn ring wars scrub."

I dunno, upon first seeing the rain effects in Crysis 1, I thought 'This is the point where game graphics reaches the final curve before obtaining the level of definition only given unto us by reality. The exponential graph has reached the final sliver and the final jump- the minute millenium, whereupon our rendering can only be made so much better, our fractals only so much more clustered. So is our kind doomed to ache and strive, burying all that we knew of graphics only to be perpetually This Close to perfection- a milestone which could spell the doom of humanity if surpassed. Woe unto us, for whilst we believe that the golden age of games has ended, the truth we fear to accept is that the golden age of graphics has only yet begun.'

Of course on the way from my brain to my mouth it translated into something like "My F*cking God That's Pretty, Look At How Pretty This Sh*t Is."


tl;dr I'd still play Crysis and weep, and it was made in 2007.
Gap of 7 years. Go look at the original Unreal Tournament for a similar year-gap.

A year and (slightly under) a month guys.

I finally understand the therapeutic effects of the 'ignore user' function

I finally understand the therapeutic effects of the 'ignore user' function

But won't that lead to confusing half conversation and such?

Nah, it looks like this:

[Elephant Parade]

Does it ignore quotes from that user, too?

[Dutchling]

nope

[TamerVirus]

Only if you are also ignoring the user quoting the other ignored user

I'm going to fucking drown in knowledge this semester. Feels good. I'm still not entirely sure how I wound up taking a course on International Law, but I'm both wildly unprepared and highly motivated to get prepared by the time exams roll around. And on days I'm not doing that, I have all manner of computer science classes I have no business being in to study for. :3

My brother's math teacher gave him an assignment to get the number 10 given 2, 0, 1 and 4. I came up with two:

Take the function f(x) such that f(7)==10

f(2+0+1+4)==10

A(2,4)-1+0==10

[Helgoland]

How about min{0,1,2,4} + 10?

[WillowLuman]

2(0+4+1) ?
