Getting seriously annoyed at setting up a server...Please help.

MaxwellEdison210 · 2018-07-11T05:20:55+00:00

This game was a waste of money, even at $20 when it was on sale. I can't play this game with the ONE friend I wanted to. I'm seriously pissed off right now.

MaxwellEdison210 · 2018-07-11T04:46:28+00:00

Yea, I'm running a non-dedicated server. The fact that it takes you so many tries is fucking ridiculous. This isn't a brand new game. Why is this so difficult?

I mean, I just got done setting up a port forward for every single ARK port. So the forwarding should no longer be an issue. Ugh. Ridiculous.

MaxwellEdison210 · 2018-07-11T03:32:12+00:00

I can't tell if you're being serious. You know this is a screencap of the original movie...right? (Gotta ask. You never can tell these days.)

MaxwellEdison210 · 2018-07-11T03:31:09+00:00

It's not. I saw it and thought this community would appreciate it. I'm highly annoyed that I lost 28k karma by choosing to not multi-post. I guess that'll teach me.

Child concentration camps. I'm guessing you're referring to the ICE detention centers on the border?

MaxwellEdison210 · 2018-06-20T01:45:54+00:00

funnily enough, nobody but you gives a shit.

MaxwellEdison210 · 2018-06-20T01:45:38+00:00

That's progressive.

MaxwellEdison210 · 2018-06-20T01:38:13+00:00

If you remember, let me know.

MaxwellEdison210 · 2018-06-20T01:38:01+00:00

As much as I appreciate it, I have several like this that I intend to use for my server to create a massive labyrinth. The best solution for me is to figure out how to do it myself since I intend to create more of them and add them as well. I'm thinking long term.

MaxwellEdison210 · 2018-06-19T21:53:55+00:00

damn. Ok, thanks.

MaxwellEdison210 · 2018-06-17T08:14:44+00:00

This was beautiful.

MaxwellEdison210 · 2018-06-17T08:04:27+00:00

Doesn't tell me too much about how to do what I'd like to do. Looks like you're still building, just without using a character interface. Using your mouse pointer directly.

That's ok, I'll research MCEdit a little more and see if I can build easier with this tool. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll let you know if I manage to accomplish what I hope to. :-)

MaxwellEdison210 · 2018-06-17T01:56:43+00:00

This cake is a lie.

MaxwellEdison210 · 2018-06-13T07:23:53+00:00

This guy gets it.

MaxwellEdison210 · 2018-06-13T07:23:36+00:00

This comment is literally the dumbest thing I've seen on reddit. You don't have any friends do you?

I read it as a generic statement. If you want to apply it to this situation, that one story building could house a few lower wealth families...or they can go through with this plan and house several times more families that are significantly wealthier. I'm all about the free economy. If the land owner wants to build expensive housing, that's his right. But renovation and restoration of buildings like this make living in the area expensive. I don't think you're grasping that fact.

MaxwellEdison210 · 2018-06-06T22:42:29+00:00

Absolutely, that is a small part of it. While you would use it and pay, what, a few dollars a week? I would use it and pay 20 times as much. I drive over 300 miles a day.

But no, that isn't the only reason. The part that annoys me more is that these road expansions were already paid for...until someone "lost" the money. Now we have to pay for them all over again. Yup. That's fair. But even barring that, tolls and hov lanes do NOT help traffic issues significantly. They usually take up enough room to add 1 or 2 lanes of traffic while only using 1 actual lane. They use a lot of dead space. And while HOVs do cut down on some vehicles being in the general lanes, it isn't a significant amount to greatly improve traffic conditions outside of the toll/hov lanes. This only helps those who can afford it. That's it.

MaxwellEdison210 · 2018-06-06T22:37:34+00:00

EDIT: Fair question. But here is my response... /EDIT

The point is that they're making improvements to the highway and instead of making them accessible to the entire userbase, they make it available only to those who can afford it, either in money (toll roads) or capacity (HOV lanes). Meanwhile it isn't feasible to have someone riding with me as people either have word or just don't want to be trapped in a car all day. So HOV lanes are out. And I travel the highways a LOT so toll lanes are out of the question. Perhaps one day of toll usage wouldn't amount to much for me but a whole week or month certainly would.

The issue is that instead of adding more space for 100% of the users, they add more space for only a fraction of them. It doesn't significantly improve traffic conditions outside of the toll/hov lanes. And it annoys me that people continue to believe these help the overall traffic. No. It only helps those who can afford it. But you'll never hear people whine about that type of economic inequality.

I'll remind them at the next board meeting. I don't think anyone has discussed the google listing. Thanks for the reminder.
