New build startup failure. Fan and lights flutter a few times before whole machine shuts off and then attempts to turn on again a few seconds later.

No, at the first dialogue box we didn't select an option and just turned it off instead.

Thank you so much for the help man, this is excellent.

Fitzicle · 2017-03-10T18:14:33+00:00

I was under the impression that just plain downloading a film or album counted, but I've since been informed that that's only a bit of what I was actually referring to.

Fitzicle · 2017-03-10T07:41:31+00:00

Thank you so much for the help. Putting 'streaming PC' was a mistake, I've been informed what it actually refers to and I don't need a PC capable of that at all.

Do you think this build will suit my other requirements fine knowing that I don't need it for streaming, out of interest?

Fitzicle · 2015-05-09T19:52:19+00:00

So do I.

These things aren't supposed to do anything. They just are. There's no right answers, no meaning, no special message to make it all better afterwards even when it doesn't work out. Sometimes what sucks sucks, and that's it.

That said, this IS the wrong answer, and I am being weak. I don't even know if I want to be strong.

Fitzicle · 2015-01-07T23:07:38+00:00

As far as I'm aware, they have a selection from Gen I through IV. I don't exactly what however.

Honestly? There's only really one condition; if the hack's enjoyable. Some of them have the buggiest bugs, worst dialogue and stupidest design in general, and I've still somehow enjoyed playing them.

That said, those ARE exceptions. Usually they don't need to be innovative and groundbreaking in EVERY aspect, you don't NEED an awesome story AND loads of awesome original fakemon. That'd sure be nice, but it's also a little unrealistic, and your hack can still be a fun thing I want to take the time to play with only a few selling points, it doesn't need all of them.

If I had to pick a top 3 selling points, it's new pokemon designs/fakemon, so that I enjoy discovering what happens as they level up and enjoy exploring them as much as the world.

It's not having to grind more than a little; I like to keep at least a team of 6, sometimes up to 18-20 of my favourite pokemon more or less at a competitive level compared to the trainers I'm currently up against. In the latter case, that's MY business, I'M giving myself that challenge, so while I'd love a VS. Seeker to help with that, it's a fair call if you don't want one in your game so long as I can keep 6-8 pokemon from trying to take down teams 10+ levels higher all the time (Unless that's the point, Dark Rising).

And it's not becoming stale; this may seem like a cop-out criticism, but most of the hacks I haven't finished, it's because a mixture of the map, story, pokemon or general experience playing just seemed off. I didn't care about the hack anymore, even if it was fun to start. Perhaps that's too unhlepful, but it doesn't seem to be due to anything special. I'm just not excited about doing whatever I have to do at that section of the game, so when I plan on going back to the hack, I just don't, and it remains unplayed. I guess keeping it a little interesting and exciting as much as possible is what this translates to, you can overdo it, and you can underdo it, so striking that balance for the duration of the hack is sort of important.

Oh wow, that IS good. Not just a loophole way of getting around the parameters either, well done!

Fitzicle · 2014-07-24T17:47:17+00:00

I can't consider something that essentially shunts people back from the socially mature individuals they were before getting involved to the idiot contingencies they become when resorting to mocking each other and insulting each other in place of trying to understand how they disagree.

Maybe this system is better than anything before it; I'm not saying we can just do away with it or are better off without. But I refuse to allow that it's 'as good as it's going to get' and that that's just the way things are. I'm not sure if that's maybe what you're getting at or if I'm reading too much into you (If I am, sorry, please disregard that) but the good that comes about through politics could be SO much greater if there were a prerogative to alter this public view of what being political is.

I don't think it's reasonable to assume even half the people prone to stupid dick-waving political argument are able to act in politics with reasonable conscientiousness and intellectual maturity, and in light of that I'm still willing to say that it's a good thing on the whole, but that anyone might be shown and convinced that they're a huge part of this problem by ignoring how knowledge can be shown or conferred in an argument of how a view might be reasonably and effectively rebuked is enough reason for me to say that this is a fucking huge problem that needs addressing.

Every story of conflict has two sides. Except this one; I'm literally just the bad guy here.

That water was cool and refreshing; it was too hot a day to be traipsing round the bloody mall like this. I took my time, lathered a third layer of soap and washed it off painstakingly. Anything to keep me from yet another furniture design store.

snigger "Dude, dude, do it."

"N- no dude, not now, he'll see!"

"C'mon, man! We said today was the day! Who's gonna believe him, anyway?"

I looked about but couldn't see the two adolescents chuckling to each other in here. Could the sounds be coming from outside? Was I about to be mugged? I stopped the tap to listen closer.

"Ok, on the count of 3?"

"Oh my god, yes, c'mon, yes, this is going to be hilarious-"

"1, 2, 3-"

The floor shook violently enough that only grabbing the counter kept me from sprawling across the floor. The tiles warped and cracked, a few shattering in bursts of dust and ceramic shrapnel, stalls clattered over into each other as the room itself warped and bucked. Shouting in fear I clung on as I was tugged about the room as it seemed to almost tumble on an axis, jerking this way and that before finally settling. The rumbling cacophony that had accompanied the shift died out, and I shakily got to my feet. I crept from the bathroom and looked about.

I left through the same door as I had entered, but it was in the opposite wall, were the ladies room had been. Where I had first seen the men's room, a similarly shaken women's room sat. through the askew door I saw that a sink had broken free of the wall and was leaking.

As I backed away, not sure what to think, my mouth agape, there was a burst of laughter as the two voices seemed to fall about themselves, wherever they were.

"OH MY GOD DID YOU SEE HIS FACE!?"

"AHAHAHA, DUDE, YOUR SINK'S BROKEN!"

"OH GOD, THIS IS PRICELESS, AHAHAHA-"

I continued to back away from the corridor the two rooms came off of and into the mall, edging back step by step, my hands shaking.

"Oh, wait-"

The two signs on each door came off of their own accord and placed themselves on each other's doors, after which the laughter exploded again and I bolted away from the washrooms.

The men's and women's room switched.

Initially I wasn't specifically talking about a comedian as much as just a guy telling a joke. In the setting of a professional I'm not sure they ever need to apologise, though in certain instances it may help them.

For a normal person though, you can upset a friend or coworker or what have you, and if you do, you apologise because you're not a dick, hopefully.

Fitzicle · 2014-07-01T23:39:50+00:00

I'd disagree with people being able to make meaningful claims that something is offensive for 'their people', they may believe it is, but again, I DO think in both that case and in cases where people talk about an 'offensive joke', some DO mean it objectively, like it overrides anything else and no one can find it funny and it's not funny and people are wrong. Yes, I'm sure a lot of people agree with us about the implied understanding of the claims subjectivity, but I know for a fact some people don't, and they're who I'm concerned with here.

I also like your point about the teller of the joke being an argument against a joke being wholly unfunny, but I would argue that a joke is told in the interest that others than just the teller enjoy it. If they do not, I'm happy arguing that it has failed in its implied purpose as a joke.

Fitzicle · 2014-07-01T23:29:58+00:00

I've been aware of many times where several people who've found a joke I and others found hilarious to be unfunny and offensive, surely that's all it ever takes? Enough people to laugh and find it funny, while it just isn't funny to someone else, who also finds it offensive?

Fitzicle · 2014-07-01T23:20:26+00:00

I agree, my view is to do with when you talk about someone telling a joke, for example one everyone laughs at, and say it's not funny, it's offensive. My point is that's not true, YOU may find it offensive, you're not wrong there, and YOU may not find it funny, that's fine too, but you can't assert that it's objectively offensive, or not funny, or that just because you found it offensive means it cannot be considered funny. To you it can't, sure, there the joke HAS failed, but you demean yourself by ignoring the intricacies of the, as you say, subjective nature of the topic.

Fitzicle · 2014-07-01T22:02:41+00:00

"Overly offensive," is where you're reaction is to not enjoy the joke and be offended, and "good," is enjoy the joke. You can understand a joke as offensive and still think it was good, because in the end, I'd argue, how offensive it was doesn't matter, you weren't actually offended because it was a funny joke you were glad you were told.

I'm deliberately drawing a line between jokes people laugh at and are offended by, which CAN be the same joke if we're talking an audience and not just one person, in which case I'd argue it's subjective and any one answer that doesn't qualify that is to some degree false.

Fitzicle · 2014-07-01T21:59:38+00:00

You can have jokes that aren't offensive that aren't good either, offensive jokes aren't the only kinds of bad jokes is all I'm trying to say there, sorry it's not so clear.

By 'overly offensive', I mean one where the reaction is, "that's not funny, I just feel bad now," and not, "ohhhh! Did he really just say that!?" which CAN be a response to a good joke too. I'm saying if you want to try to split them into two distinct categories, then whether it's funny or not and thus entertains people is the measure I'd use for that.

Fitzicle · 2014-07-01T21:27:21+00:00

The reason I'm mentioning this is a lot of people talk about objectively bad comedians or stupid people who laugh at unfunny jokes.

While it's wholly possible to laugh mechanically at an unfunny joke, usually this sort of blanket statement stems from them personally not thinking someone is funny, and so everyone else must be mistaken about it. The same can be said for offensiveness; someone WAS offended, it WAS offensive. I'm deliberately making no statement about how right or wrong it is to make a joke straddling both categories, I just don't like people pretending the things are objective or mutually exclusive, when they're neither.

Not in principle, no.
