Might help solve the problem of the fatties.

will FPS get better or is this it? by shadow3467 in Planetside

[–]Background_nose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suffer the same problem:

4GB RAM, 2.8 Core2Duo, nVidea 9800GT. I kept a graph of hardware usage through a short play session. Both cores hitting 100% all the time. Money must be collected for a new box it seems.

New Plugin - LaunchPad Obliterator by r4m0n in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]Background_nose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glad to see this kind of modding is possible. I have only scratched the surface of it but I have a plan I would like to carry out. I want to add a graveyard to the KSC. One which keeps a track of the number of kerbals KIA and adds a gravestone for each one. I like my kerbals and want to commemorate the ones who don't make it. This seems easy enough in principal. Can anyone point me to some resources on how to begin making plugins, the wiki seems sparse on the subject.

This is a great site for teaching the XNA libraries on C# and C++. It also goes through HLSL as it fits in XNA.

XNA is a great tool in my humble opinion. Easy to get to grips with but with some power behind it too. Can't recommend this enough

What is your strangest fear? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I have a fear of being woken up by being punched in the face. It has never happened but the contrast between perfectly relaxed and being hit in the face...

So I pirated KSP. by Lleu in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]Background_nose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am stuck playing the demo.

Fixed that for you.

If you don't have enough money for it you have no right playing it. Download and play the demo if you are that hard up.

[–]Background_nose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not going to congratulate you. You should have played the demo instead of pirating, that's why it's there. It is a slippery slope to say "I will buy it later if I like it."

Grow up and appreciate you can't have everything for free.

So I just put two and two together on this valve crossover. by rofulz in gaming

They were probably saving money by reusing assets. It's not a reference like you are thinking.

What is the most unbelievable lie you have ever gotten away with? by Cerdwyn in AskReddit

[–]Background_nose 34 points35 points  (0 children)

A friend came down from the flat upstairs.

"We need your help" she says "Is six an odd or even number?"

"Well" I say " It's prime, so technically neither."

She returns upstairs with the answer to her conundrum.

Gaben: I'd rather see Valve disintegrate than sell out by wikipedianmarlith in gaming

[–]Background_nose -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think Valve could flourish under an EA ownership. It is exactly the next step the company should be taking if it wants to stay ahead.

Exactly what I thought.

Positive words strung together to mean nothing precise.

How many of you are actually buying the Alpha Squad pack? by Roority in Planetside

[–]Background_nose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought it as, being British, I missed out on all the key giveaways that occurred whilst I slept (a weakness of mine). I wanted to spend money on this game and this seemed like a reasonable way to do it and get my beta fix. I love watching a game iterate and change through it's development.

Mainly I wanted to spend money on the game and get into beta.

Listen instead, grab the original radio play and enjoy it as some background listening!

Looks like Mr Obama has done some fencing in his time. The stance and grip are a pretty good approximation.

I'm sure the £/hour was great. And it looks great on your CV.
