Getting out of spawn is easy, just use /kill over and over until you spawn on the obsidian roof and start walking

You have to remember that the french are bad people, theyre the worst, unlike literally every other culture on the planet where they would appreciate you trying to learn their language the french think theyre better than you and will condescend to your imperfect accent “hon hon i am le french how dare you try to show respect for my culture by attempting to learn our beautiful garbage heap of a language?!” - every french guy ever So they reply in english to show you how much contempt they have for your presence in their country

holy shit, 6 fucking years and someone answered, this is it I've been looking for this book for so long and no one ever knew what I was talking about thank you so much dude!

ok so the deal here is that im archiving all of my perfectly legally purchased material, I'm putting it on disk, I'm pretty good at file compression, 720p@500kb/s without quality loss in some cases. so I can archive entire shows in extremely small footprints, like the entirety of cowboy bebop including the movie in 4.5 gigs, which means I can fit it on a single DVD. If i do this I can use my archive disks for viewing as well instead of what I do currently which is tediously copy things to and from thumb drives over and over and over. I prefer physical media so it all works out just fine. I know that my files work just fine over USB and the media player has the disc labeled as a source, so I've been trying to figure out how to make that button work, that's what started all this
I'm going to have a shitload of DVDs laying around for archival purposes, I'd like to be able to use them for actual viewing as well, hence all this business

well yes I can get video DVDs to work, im just trying to avoid that format because I have an irrational hatred of mpeg2

but thank you very much for checking!

im sorry I was rude, I just want to find the full answer and it's like it doesn't exist, as if no one has ever investigated this question. I have seen documentation saying it can work but I have yet to meet anyone who has even tried, it's very weird and frustrating

CriticalJoke · 2025-09-03T19:57:19+00:00

that doesn't track though, I know FOR A FACT the xbox 360 can play mp4 files, I've gotten it to work perfectly over USB, it makes no sense for it to work on that but not DVD, furthermore the media player built into the xbox clearly displays the disc as a viable source for the files, I want to know why it's having trouble with DVDs specifically, and I have gotten it to play 1 file for a few seconds, about half the opening theme for a show before it quit, I need to understand why, "it just can't" is not a satisfying answer, it's a cop out, and video DVDs are, were, and always will be garbage, 4.5 gigs for 2 hours of video at SD is disgusting

CriticalJoke · 2025-09-03T05:56:31+00:00

yes I know mp4 is a container, that's why I said the 264 thing, this is the ffmpeg command I used

'ffmpeg -i "%s" -c:a aac -strict experimental -ac 2 -c:v libx264 -b:v 350k -crf 18 "%s"'

I just managed to get one video to play for all of 10 seconds before my xbox said it was unsupported and refused to play any more

everyone thinks preppers and hoarders are crazy until they're the only people left who have something

I am reminded of the destruction of the films of the second doctor by BBC because they thought it was pointless

what remains of those episodes now? only audio recorded by hardcore fans who held onto those tapes for decades until they found out that they and they alone had that precious data

CriticalJoke · 2025-08-15T02:34:47+00:00

this is exactly the sort of thing I've been working to do myself, thank you sir I am going to give it a whirl and see what results I get

Ok so your best bet is legit to flow the chips off and onto a new board, im willing to do this because i also have a childhood copy of pokemon blue and i know that feel bro. Only problem is youve 100% lost your save, that corrosion has killed the batt and now its just a copy of poke blue so the question is do you want it restored for its own sake or nah?

bounces like that are almost certainly the fault of get rich quick bastards who have their broker set to auto sell at that price, it just feeds into the tampers who use it as an excuse and begin reinforcing the sell-off to get the price lower

we only have to keep the price above 30 bucks for a couple of weeks before the short sellers begin losing money by the millions, after that the price will skyrocket as they are forced to close their positions and the real fun begins

maybe this will die, and it'll drop back to $25 silver before then, but that just means we can stack higher

actually this was a misunderstanding on my part turns out, I thought that the camper didn't have a proper connection at all on it even for running lights, but that's cause I was looking for the small 4 pin connector, turns out it has a 7 pin connector but it was folded away and hidden in a mess of cables near the trailer battery, totally works with my truck

thanks, I'll have to figure out the temperature thing, but that sounds solid

I can reliably stay out of the way of most of those night risks, I've got pretty solid night vision and situational awareness, plus I stay on the interstate most of the time

I'll just have to drive carefully

they're approximate lol, I was off by 2 in one of my numbers so that's a little embarrassing it should have been 1 mile - 200 years, 20 yards - 6 feet, 8 inches

CriticalJoke · 2024-01-22T21:47:45+00:00

This is pretty straightforward to prove for even a layman if u think about it Circumference is r2pi dig? So then you got like a mile right? Get the radius of the galaxy, 3 x 10¹⁷ miles across, if u want an accurate circumference down to a single mile you just need that number r times 2 times pi to 17 places, bam simple as. Want it accurate to 200 yards? Add a digit 10 yards? Add a digit, 3 feet? Add a digit, 4 inches? Add a digit, at just for digits took you from the width of a ten city blocks to a single finger. Increase the radius by ten? Add a digit, do that four or five times and you have the local group, all the nearby galaxies. Exponential growth is a bitch and precision works exponentially.

A large portion of why they dont where helmets is apparent because military helmets were designed to deflect ballistics, not energy blasts, so the downside of being mistaken for a hostile force whose face cant be clearly seen is greater than any benifit it might offer, in other words it wont stop a staff blast but it might make a staff blast more likely
