... How do you manage so many tabs‽

[Darvi]

... How do you manage so many tabs‽

Ditto. Anything less than 100 seems like such a hassle. How are you supposed to remember all the other stuff you were looking at?

[Solifuge]

Oh come on, how can they be this lazy?
Same animation for the end sequence. As in, the exact same animation. Maybe that's what happens when you forcibly birth a sequel every year, regardless of the massive budget.

Why does MW2 look better?

The earlier game used cleaner graphics techniques; bolder colors, sharper light/dark regions, better color scheme that wasn't trying to be Gritty/Realistic/Muddy/Blaaaah, and wasn't having a High Polygon Count Depth-Of-Field Gaussian Blur Wankfest. And maybe the person's PC video capture method was cleaner/better.

Also, this is not even funny. It offends me how they treat this art form... unless their goal was actually to provide an example of the minimal-effort shit AAA tries to get away with at every opportunity?

Yeah, my computer starts lagging out at maybe 20.

[Iceblaster]

CoD deconstructing cash cow franchises and how games in AAA are mainly for money now?

Heh.

...

I might be reading your post wrong...

Opera's been able to manage buggeroff huge numbers of tabs better than any other browser I've tried, so far. Loading most of them with plugins/javascript/animated images off tends to help (though I tend to navigate with plug-ins and animated stuff off anyway, and often with javascript, too, until it's actually needed for something), as well. Still, the browser was chewing up a good 1.7-8 gigs of ram. Down to around .56, now, which is only a hundred or so megs more than whatever version of firefox I'm running idles at with only six or seven tabs open.

And @nang, as I've mentioned a few times around B12, Opera's got a few features that makes navigating between a few hundred tabs a lot easier than, well. All the other browsers I've tried. Beyond that, it's all memory and being really rather good at eyeballing sizable lists of things for what I'm looking for. Is a skillset that translated well from doing some light work in libraries!

I just use bookmarks >.>

[kaian-a-coel]

speaking of browsers and stuff, not only do I have the crappiest connection ever since tuesday evening (it was a brutal downgrade), but apparently I have a memory leak or something. There is 1.6 Go of RAM being used, but only firefox, steam and skype are running and neither use much. The task monitor shows nothing obvious and I'm getting anxious at the now audible sound of my processor's fan. CCleaner runned, fragmentation at a minimum, rebooted twice.
For internet connection, the Ctrl+Alt+F4 monitor thingie tells me my computer use around 0.1% of it, even though it's taking ages to load a single page. And I'm connected to a wired network AND a wifi, because if I'm using only one of them it's so awful I may as well have no connection whatsoever.

And it was like one day it's perfectly okay, the next it's all shit.
Yes I did spywares and virus checks, nothing.
The internet thing may come from the network itself, but I called them and they said they fixed it. I may call them again because seriously I can't even read my mail -_-

Was playing Spore, looked at my new allied village (who I'd previously slaughtered and stolen all the food of, so I could ignore them until later), and saw the Chieftan push the only other guy into a fire. I wish my tribe could do that.

[GiglameshDespair]

Was playing Spore.

People still play spore?

Huh.

[Graknorke]

I think that it's an alright game myself, but it's nothing like what anyone expected (or wanted it to be). I suspect that EA creatively castrating Will Wright was partly to blame.

[misko27]

I always have around 8-15 tabs open, but 100? Dafuq. What could you conceivably have that you need to keep open all of those pages at once?

*raises hand*
I let my kid play it. It's an excellent game for 5-yr olds.

I believe Frumple has said in the past that he uses such a system in lieu of bookmarking things. Which somewhat makes sense, since I know personally that most of the things I bookmark I will most likely never look at again (I'm sometimes even conscious of this while bookmarking something, and yet I still do it).

Pretty much that, yeah. That and I'm usually actively reading, well... seven or eight things at once (it's pretty common for me to bounce between a dozen or so pieces of reading in a week, on top of the 1-3 I'll probably finished reading in entirety during the period), at a sort of minimum, plus probably manga/webcomics and LPs and keeping up with whatever web presence the game(s) I'm playing at the moment warrant and any school/life related stuff that needs doing and probably the weather or somethin'. I keep the browser busy, really.

... and anyway, it wasn't a hundred. A hundred is just the ones I counted, and just the fanfiction related stuff. There was probably another 20-30 miscellaneous stuff that got sorted and closed, plus the fifty and a bit that got left open in the end. A good 150-200 tabs open is... normal. For me, anyway.

E: vvv It's the ctrl+tab/ctrl+mousewheel thing that does it for me, in Opera. Beyond that, I just... really don't like tab grouping. Opera's got that too, more or less, and for whatever reason it just doesn't sit right with me. I think I like having them all available at a single click, or something. Plus grouping actually tends to make it harder for me to remember where things are, since it messes up stuff like "current fanfic N is besides LP Y".
