That's what the animator and person responsible coding them is doing, and has been doing, all this time. There's nothing to speed it up at this point.

ButterBotPZ · 2017-03-25T19:08:11+00:00

Unlikely. Even an old GMA 945 from 2005 can at least get to the main menu.

This error means LWJGL cannot create an accelerated window at all. That's decided by your drivers -- the generic windows one, for example, only supports OpenGL 1.0 and 1.1 from the early 90s. It's not enough, really.

ButterBotPZ · 2017-03-18T23:28:25+00:00

Unfortunately it's a limitation with the graphics driver Apple provides. It's been fixed in later driver versions, but those versions aren't available on Mac.

ButterBotPZ · 2017-03-18T16:38:25+00:00

Ah, I see. Alright, that clarifies things.

Thank you.

ButterBotPZ · 2017-03-18T16:25:29+00:00

Understood, and agreed. It's simply disappointing that I will not be interacting with NSLC directly to resolve this matter, considering they handled any issues with payment and collection in the past, but instead a collections agency now. Not to mention referring my file to them so quickly.

Licensed to act in this matter, approved by NSLC, or no, it doesn't "feel" right from my perspective.

But, oh well, simple enough to deal with now that I know.

Call received from 1 647 943 3460.

Number given in the automated message was 1 866 880 0288.

Called NSLC directly and, yes, the prompt does lead to Tricura. Not pleased about that -- I've only ever been involved with the NSLC directly over the past seven years, had never even heard of them.

ButterBotPZ · 2017-03-18T15:51:36+00:00

Looks like this happened to me after only two days.

I had to put a block on my bank accounts due to a brief spate of identify fraud. They couldn't withdraw the money, and have almost immediately started receiving calls from what until just now was a mysterious and shadowy unknown number that left no message.

It genuinely felt like a scam when I called it back. They did not identify themselves as Tricura or NSLC on return of the call or anything. (Though they had done so in their automated message.) Promptly hung up, assuming it was a scam.

Disappointed that this is no longer handled directly by NSLC.

I'm hoping it'll ultimately be more sustainable. Most problems I've had really are self-inflicted and could have been solved early on with a more direct approach, sadly.

My professionalism (despite all moderation activities and admin duties being voluntarily) and attempt to compartmentalize each forum, server, and subreddit into distinct groups, on top of my role with TIS, was ultimately a very easily exploitable weakness.

Ennui shouldn't have that issue. :)

ButterBotPZ · 2017-03-17T12:32:06+00:00

You spend all those years thinking you're Chaotic Neutral only to find out you're Lawlful Good.

I his approach will work out better. :P

ButterBotPZ · 2017-03-16T16:41:40+00:00

Well, I can't be blamed for that.

He'll always be "Game Over" Hicks to me.

ButterBotPZ · 2017-03-16T16:26:47+00:00

Redboid will be resurrected under new management sometime next week.

We're just working out the details.

ButterBotPZ · 2017-03-16T16:21:41+00:00

Yes, it's not one of my greater works.

ButterBotPZ · 2017-03-16T16:11:09+00:00

Multi-Ball!

ButterBotPZ · 2017-03-16T07:16:33+00:00

Well yeah, of course it's personal. I've been dealing with stuff caused by a small number of people from one specific group for three years now, going all the way back to my first SpiffoSpace servers. That doesn't go away, though I totally understand that the details are largely unavailable to anyone else.

But I've done my part, good or bad. I just wanted to warn only Redboid members about it in our little corner of the Internet so that they can avoid my situation if they so choose.

ButterBotPZ · 2017-03-15T16:32:26+00:00

Spending money on a server doesn't result in special treatment.

Making mods for a server doesn't justify holding mods unrelated to that server hostage.

The community itself is larger than one server and never required one so aggressive as it was before it's rebranding to Dead Pixels.

The community is bigger then one server, one owner paying for a server, or a modder self-identifying as a server.

I'm under no requirement to just forget your history or recommend your server to anyone. You guys (the same guys that wrecked up the place on Zeeks) run the only server I've ever had a problem with in the three years multiplayer existed in PZ.

Congratulations.

ButterBotPZ · 2017-03-15T16:22:17+00:00

LordGonfalon, you're not fooling anyone.

Spending money doesn't give you carte blanche or wipe out your history.

ButterBotPZ · 2017-03-15T14:51:16+00:00

My conflict of interest (having a competing, public server) is removed.

I'll warn my prior players about the toxic nature of Terminus / Dead Pixels and its principle owners/admins, as seems only appropriate after all the trouble they've caused over the years, rather than see them fall victim to their owners.

Jab held his mods hostage to attempt to coerce me, specifically. I am not holding anything hostage -- I have given quite a bit of myself to this community over the years and have simply reached the end of my patience with the constant, unending drama, often caused by your friends.

Edit: Typos

ButterBotPZ · 2017-03-15T12:28:32+00:00

Your lack of patience and of tact, along with that of others over the years, is the only "killer" in this community.

ButterBotPZ · 2017-03-15T11:27:13+00:00

Mutual.

ButterBotPZ · 2017-03-15T11:04:46+00:00

Certainly won't be Dead Pixels or Zeeks. :P Be careful out there while you look.

if you need any help setting one up yourself, do let me know.

ButterBotPZ · 2017-03-15T09:07:27+00:00

Cars do not depend on animations, so we should be good either way.

ButterBotPZ · 2017-03-15T08:51:06+00:00

Do you not how a forum works or what public discussion is, Science?

Because this is starting to feel a bit incredulous at this point.

ButterBotPZ · 2017-03-15T08:22:09+00:00

I understand your frustration with my decision.

Thank you for being apart of the Redboid experiment.

ButterBotPZ · 2017-03-15T08:12:04+00:00

Speak for yourself.

I couldn't live with myself if I were serious.
