That might be just enough to get you 20 fps in the verse.

Is it really that hard to make a Crysis mod FPS game that doesn't crash when you hit the tab key?

On a serious note, I also recently suffered the demise of my beloved i5 2500k, looked around for suitable socket replacements but couldn't find anything of the same calibre as the awesome 2500k.

So went for an i5 6600k and a decentish mobo, Asus Z170 pro gaming board with 16gb of ddr4 corsair ram (go for 3200mhz stuff). Shop around but the whole lot should cost around �400.

Hope I helped a bit

They just don't make the tab keys the way they used to.

Also, it got harder to hack crash reports and replace error messages with in-lore text.
...
This could actually be a project: rewrite SC crash messages to be in-lore.

No. It takes about 5 minutes if you follow the step-by-step instructions closely.

Whine whine whine. I got the tab key to not-crash by a simple registry hack, that ought to increase my error reporting efficiency by close to 13%

The shitizens are very devoted to reporting how lovely the game is, tis true

e: I finally played for 15 whole minutes without crashing and having to restart my entire machine, and IT IS AWESOME!!!

Any word from CIG? Im guessing the germans are gone for the rest of the year already. The british are following suit. The texans are heading out for lunch hoping for sweet sweet release and at LA you have an intern writing the apology letter while Croberts and co are doing a video about all their sacrifices they have to do to get their tech demo to version 2.6

hello

this probably won't be reposted or seen anywhere or cared about but whatever

I donated less than a half a completionist package would cost to a local shelter awhile back

I hated how my area shelter was a kill shelter but the Huntington Beach one wasn't

they invited me to an Xmas thing and presented me with a giant framed picture of all the dogs and cats I saved

I cried like a baby

I've donated a few bucks here and there to try and make the world a better place

I hope

and I'm not trying to tell people how to spend their money because I drink too much and buy dumb computer games I don't ever even play

but if you're 4 or 5 figures deep into this loving dumb game

realize, for just a second, how much good you can bring to the world

not intangible, "oh whats one good deed" poo poo

but a difference you can see, feel and snuggle on occasion

Happy Holidays

I don't donate to a regular charity but I donate to random stuff. I've also been a first responder to natural disasters in a lot of instances by organizing a charity drive and supplies and loading up a huge truck and then going to the problem areas and giving out supplies directly to who needs stuff. It's nice and it feels good to do things like that. It is expensive though so I can only do one or two a year. But hey, merry Christmas to all.

Nicholas: Mar 7, 2001; Were those not fine days, when we drank of clear honey, and spoke in calm tones of our love for the stuff?

I consider giving money to Crobblers a worthwhile charity because once the Star Citizen Life Simulator is complete it will allow phsyically and mentally disabled people, such as myself, to live out their wildest fantasies of participating in society by having any number of soul-crushing jobs; such as space stewardess, space insurance claims adjuster and space miner

You're asking the wrong question.

Why did keyboard manufacturers make a tab key they knew would cause harm to Chris Roberts magnum opus? This is pretty clearly a ploy by big publishers to thwart CIG from inevitably destroying them.

They just keep exploiting all of these multitudes of Achilles Heels because they are evil.

New PTU patch, still not on live.

- They implemented the new item system for the fish tank, so now you can put fish in it again.
- They removed the 'tab' keybind. It now doesn't do anything.
- No leaderboards (They should just pretend it wasn't supposed to have one).
- Still need to restart client to get a new lobby invite.
- Appears to have fixed the error bugs from two patches ago.

Only one really bad problem? gently caress it, this one's going live tomorrow.

Yeah, so I have to reboot the world's slowest loading game over and over for online play, but I can have alien fish! LANDING SUCCESFL!

I believe most countries are similar to here in Canada. It's illegal to work unless you're in certain essential industries like medical care or other emergency services.

I guess they didn't make the 22nd. I wonder if they'll throw on another arbitrary extension to the schedule graph, or just leave it.
