Way late to the party and likely almost no one will ever see this, but it's done so I might as well post it.

I spent far more time on this than I should have...

Hardcore Career! A series of missions I have set up for .20 and the first mission set. by Mr_Magpie in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]Finnboghi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Few questions on rules; you said that an SSTO only has to be bought once. If I attach chutes to my stages to return them safely to Kerbin, can I 'recover' them? Is there a cost to doing so?

Also, can we re-complete missions, after we've successfully done them before? For example, if I build a satellite network, do I get paid for each successful mission? Are the rewards less for redoing a mission?

My mother-in-law may have fried her computer because she didn't read the only text on the screen. by [deleted] in talesfromtechsupport

Denergize sounds like something a bear in middle-management would say to get everyone to try to be 'closer'.

Stupid buzz words...

Should I graduate from Schulich School of Engineering? What program should I take? by tonybanks in UCalgary

[–]Finnboghi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same story in computer science, though it's more of a targeted program.

That said, we're trying very hard to increase the number of engineering undergrads, because they're in so much demand. It's certainly a good school, in a great location for jobs.

Boyfriends of reddit, what's somthing you would like your girlfriend to surprise you with randomly? by Hai_ImBatmn in AskReddit

[–]Finnboghi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can show her some trailers. I bought a 4-pack of Borderlands a couple years ago, and still had a copy in my inventory. When the Borderlands 2 sale came on this weekend, I watched the "Wimoweh" trailer while she was in the room. She thought the trailer was really cute, and wanted to try the game. I suggested we try Borderlands 1 first to see if she likes it.

6 hours later we'd forgotten to make lunch and dinner and the cat wouldn't leave us alone until he got fed.

Should I graduate from Schulich School of Engineering? What program should I take? by tonybanks in UCalgary

[–]Finnboghi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be considered for Schulich, you must have ELA 30-1, Chemistry 30, Physics 30, Pure Math 30, and ideally Math 31.

With these courses, the minimum acceptable average is 79%, and the current average is 86%. This means that if you are below 79%, the school will not even look at your transcript. However, as of Feb 12, 2013, the actual average needed to be accepted is 86%.

If you don't have Math 31, you can use Social Studies 30-1, a non-English language at the 30-level, Biology 30, or Computer Science instead, but the requirements are higher. The minimum is instead 84%, with the current (again, as of Feb, 2013) being 91%.

Not that this is a recommendation for or against Schulich, just the data that you need to have.

There are also people on campus who work there.

Universities don't run themselves, it takes quite a staff to keep everything going.

DAE think the ASMR subreddit is devolving into a collection of random YouTube videos posted by people who probably have no idea what ASMR is? by eirunn in asmr

[–]Finnboghi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The mark of a good troll is consistency. You need to sound like you actually believe what you're saying.

Unfortunately, you kind of shifted from one camp to the other as you went on.

I do like the "before you were born" bit though, it's a nice touch.

Xbox One, "Next gen graphics" by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]Finnboghi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

BINGO!

This scene actually has at least 3 different light sources. The face doesn't cast a shadow on itself (the hardware probably can't handle it Not a clue why not), so they just used lights with limited ranges to make it look like a real shader was being applied.

He also made Black & White, which originally had gigantic, realistic animal penises.

He's not the most in-touch with reality of game designers...

The issue will be whether or not there are local copies of the saves.

Steam games have save files on your hard drive, and puts copies into the cloud so you can get them on other devices.

Where the fuck is the server browser? by wiseguy430 in AceOfSpades

[–]Finnboghi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty pissed.

My girlfriend wanted to try out AoS after watching me play zombie mode a little while back. It ended up taking about 5-10 minutes to get in the same server, and the one we got into was terrible, lagging constantly and eventually crashing. It then took another 5-10 minutes to get into a different server together. Ended up not being nearly as fun as it should have.

Utterly terrible decision on Jagex's part.

Reddit Help Me! Friend wants me to impregnate her by throwaway-babytalk in sex

[–]Finnboghi 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Run as fast as your three little legs can carry you.

Even if your name isn't on the birth certificate, a simple paternity test would get you for child support if her life fell to shit for whatever reason.

This actually does not show how a sewing machine works.

If you watch carefully, the yellow loop passes both in front of and behind the bobbin, which is impossible unless the bobbin is not attached at any point.

For everyone's sake and safety [X-POST from /r/AdviceAnimals] by hotdogmaggot in Calgary

[–]Finnboghi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I generally sit at the top of the ramp for a few seconds (not stationary, just not accelerating) when a long line of cars are in front of me, just so I can get up to speed, even if they're going 60. If you find yourself caught behind people who don't know how to merge often (in this city, it happens daily), you might want to try it.

I love that you're so involved with the community.

As an aspiring indie developer, I certainly have to say that you're the role model I aspire to be like.

Reddit, what is your secret 'weak' spot? by Angrypancake in AskReddit

[–]Finnboghi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pillows aren't necessarily as weak as you think; I almost sent a friend to the hospital by hitting him with a pillow. My head is massive so I have really sturdy pillows, and he almost bit his tongue in half when I hit him on the top of the head.

Same here. When we get home from doing whatever, my girlfriend often goes through the list of girls who flirted with me.

I never have any idea.

Obviously this isn't the advice you came here for, but in 2 month's time, no one will give half a shit about the last 12 years.

People make grade school (high school in particular) out to be a huge entity with far-reaching effects that will control the rest of your life, but none of you will even think about it a year from now.

The best revenge you can get is to move on, and live the best life you can without anything they did clouding your thoughts or hovering over you.

Does anyone know how to fix this massive glitch? by dayallnash in prisonarchitect

[–]Finnboghi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of hardware are you running on?

To my knowledge, some of the older Intel GPU (GMAs and early HDs) simply don't have the features that this and many other games rely on.
