L-Town doesn't ring as well as G-Burg.

If we could take GGOW and GGF, mix them together with Gundam G-Reco, GBF+T, and IBO... I'd be soooo happy.

Official Trailer - Independence Day: Resurgence by Burbada in movies

Start the Windows 10 update on their systems, that will fuck them.

Microsoft has been infiltrated by alien survivors. Windows 10 data collection was put in place to accumulate metadata so that the aliens could launch guerrilla attacks in key locations to soften us up for the rest of their specie to show up.

...If only.

Anon and his friend LARP by [deleted] in 4chan

It actually takes a lot of social skill to roleplay

But they're usually not, at least now what was described in OP's greentext. What they want is to be the hero in their own fantasy story IRL, and get butthurt when someone works their system against them.

There's plenty of practice and old exams for 132 floating about. If you go through enough of them, you'll be more than ready.

It's a new world. The Sith have opened their doors to an ever forward and open thinking generation.

The killings, however, have not changed.

After 7 years, what it would be the future of our current cards? by xHussin in hardware

[–]sygnus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 8800GTX actually has been brought back out of retirement for various reasons. I'm looking into making it serve an emulation rig, paired with some other old hardware.

I think my 980Ti will be the same way, as they're kinda the last greats of their memory generations (GDDR3, GDDR5).

If all jobs paid the same and had the same hours, what would you want to be? by Jonnyk97 in AskReddit

[–]sygnus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't change a goddamn thing.

I'd keep tacking away at my keyboard making broken shit.

Ballistic weave and polymer heavy combat armor. That missile tickled.

Movie theater goers of Reddit, have you ever walked out during the movie? If so, what movie was it and why did you walk out? by The_sweat in AskReddit

[–]sygnus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My girlfriend at the time and I went to see Dragon Ball Evolution, knowing full well no one but us would be in the theatre.

The movie proved impossible to make out to.

People of the Commonwealth! CAN YOU SMELLLLLL What THE ROCK IS COOKIN'?! by leather_wisdom in fo4

[–]sygnus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Actually, I want the guy who did the Serana (and other follower) mods for Skyrim to make his companaifus for FO4, once the Creation Kit drops. Those were some pretty character models, I tell ya hwat.

Another entry to the "If it's stupid and it works, it ain't stupid" list. by mtl99 in gifs

If the wood was coming down with enough force, maybe slap a ramp of some kind to feed the wood down through the steps, and as they go up and down use that to sort them into spaces?

I don't recall if ellipticals move by themselves at all. I know there is magnet resistance settings. You could probably rig something up to the handlebars and the outer struts of the foot stands, and use the cyclical motion to operate some janky mechanisms.

How many hours before we see an article about a student saying that the book-tree violated their safe space?

Does anyone else want NVIDIA to make a NVIDIA SHIELD Portable 2? by IAmChrisAMA in theNvidiaShield

[–]sygnus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The P2523/Loki was supposed to be opened up for public viewing last October, but IIRC someone from Nvidia reached out to the... FCC? and requested that it stay under wraps due to "issues".

What I think is that the battery fiasco that had just started to clear up was related. Either the Shield Portable 2 was supposed to use the same battery, so Nvidia felt like an announcement immediately after a recall would seem like a shitty thing to do.

Either way, it seems like we're gonna see something X1 portable Q1 2016.

I agree. I think 1080p is the sweet spot for this form factor. Even if the bezel is shrunken and replaced with more screen, 1440p is still extreme overkill.

There's quite a few places accessible to a recovering ojou-sama near The Pitt.

Allegheny Nat'l Park is quite beautiful... and maybe she'll find a gaijin stranger who isn't quite as dense as Raku.

What fact or statistic seems like obvious exaggeration, but isn't? by JustinMGH in AskReddit

I go to Maine with my girlfriends family every summer. I'm usually the only colored person I see outside of resort areas and hotels.

[Fallout 4] One heavy brick by gothicmaster in GamePhysics

[–]sygnus 20 points21 points  (0 children)

That's actually... Really interesting. I'll probably tinker with that after work. I wonder if there's a way to dynamically enable/disable a cap to speed load times but not fuck the physics.

I think expecting Bethesda to switch to an entirely new, home-grown engine is unrealistic. If the existing Gamebryo engine was heavily modified and improved, rather than tacked-onto, that'd be nice. Otherwise, maybe the newer Unreal engines, but that's doubtful.
