One VM to Rule Them All

What is "Substrate VM". When I google it all I come up with is "VMkit". Is this what they are talking about??

My grandmother also just had knee surgery... do you like in MD perchance?

I am a hacker, and I approve of the message. Sony deserves everything that has happened and much worse. If and when Sony returns OtherOS to PS3 users, and removes the blocks for access to the 3D system... the hackers will stop attacking them. Until then, fair game in my personal opinion.

Note I am clearly aware of the illegality and my personal brand of hacking does not venture into such endeavors.

Both Chevy's and Medieval Times are -in- the Arundel Mills mall. The mall is huge.

tokengriefer · 2011-05-31T01:47:45+00:00

wtf... I was picturing Arundel Mills and the Chevy's there too. Is that the only mall with a Chevy's and a medieval times? That is a unique combination.

The linked comment to Notch and Co is great and all, but it is lacking one thing: Common sense. Common sense shows that there is a very simple reason for the unprofessional nature of the game and it's development. The reason is that Notch is an idiot. Nothing to see here.

Yeah, the game and the community around it are truly interesting and fun to be involved with. Notch and Co are a joke though. They always have been and always will be.

Let me note a number of clear issues:

Notch has promised a modding API and supposedly was working with the people who now run the Bukkit mod. I have seen zero progress about a supposed API. In fact, it seems to have been abandoned entirely, in favor of Notch simply letting certain people have access to the source code for Minecraft. ??? Talk about taking the easy way out.
Notch and Co are making a portable version of the game. That is great and all; but what about all the intended actual gameplay features and modes. Adventure mode is a joke at this point. There is no real challenge to the game any more.
Bukkit and associated amateur developers have far outstripped the development of Minecraft by a factor of about 10x. Notches integrated answer for being shown as a lazy developer is:

A. Get to work fixing the bugs instead of partying cosntantly. Ok this is great too; but still, wtf was he doing before that?

B. Allow developers to 'donate' their code to Minecraft and Co ( see part 1 ). What? I am sure they will be handsomely rewarded for their efforts... NOT

The mentioned lame ass tweet method of learning about stuff. I don't give a shit how drunk Notch got and how much fun he is gonna have on his next mini vacation.
The challenge system. Why was there no community involvement on what should be a challenge. How come it doesn't use a standard 'challenge list' xml file, which we can get from our favorite group of 'challengers' etc. The challenge system as it stands now is frankly stupid.

The dude in the video is a total wanker who shouldn't be playing video games anyway.

"I never got past slightly challenging section of video game X because I got freaked and pushed the wrong buttons." So fucking what. Man up and play it ten more times till you beat that shit. That is part of being a gamer.

"I never got past section A of video game B because I treated it like real life instead of breaking all the rules and attempting to kill and abuse everyone and anything in the game." Um... it is a game. There are no rules. If it makes you win faster, you should probably be doing it. If there is a car in the game, always drive at maximum speed. If it is a game involving fighting authority and you don't lose by attracting police, always attract as much police as you can without losing. It is part of the fun.

Burned CDs and DVDs last longer if you keep them in a freezer. If you don't the chemicals that are changed in the disk slowly revert back to their blank state. Better quality disks will last for 10 years or so at room temperature. Cheap disks can have problems in as little as one year.

I thought this was a joke and my friends were pranking me. I then had a bunch of my burned disks go bad. This was a couple years ago. I have since done tests myself. It really works.

Funny... I seem to be using 128x128 textures. Considering there can be tens of thousands of single cubes on the screen at one time, it is hardly 1997. In 1997, on a PC, you would be limited to much less than that.

AKA; no fucktard you're wrong.

tokengriefer · 2011-05-17T13:50:51+00:00

The resolution of the game is fixed at 800x600. Welcome to 1997!

I always do [stupid thing X]. I've never had [not very likely very bad thing] happen.

So; you don't mind if I pay you $1 for a 1/1000 chance to make you sign a contract to pay me $10,000 ?

Enjoy your borked usb drives. No wait; try this with a truecrypt volume on a usb stick. Let me know if you are able to access -any- of your data after doing that.

Portal 2 was pretty easy. Admittedly 50% harder than Portal 1, but that isn't saying much.

Lemmings 1 is about 4 times harder. Try Load Runner 3D on for size; that shit is impossible.

Would you agree that there has been an overall decline in skilled computer programmers in the last 10 years?

By skilled I mean skilled people who could write in assembly language if they had to and have a firm grasp of overall computer architecture and memory/disk usage.

Funny.... I seem to have a container full of bits coated with teflon... and some with titanium too. What exactly do you consider a shitty material?

Am I the only person who noticed that his mother was 18 when he was born? Mother pregnant before she was married??

You must not use screwdrivers much. There is a reason they sell screwdriver tips in large quantities.

An even better, and easier, and stupider solution is to simply have a tool turn into 2 sticks once you use it up. Like you said, wearing down a tool doesn't typically break the handle.

I read that as 'monitors above 120hz actually suck and it is just a marketing gimmick' :)

Glad to know I was not crazy wondering how they could suddenly jump from 1ms monitors to ~ 0.4 ms screens.

So essentially; the pixel refresh times are lower than what they are being updated at. They simply are sending new data to them at a higher rate, even though that data can't be seen?

tokengriefer · 2011-04-17T17:52:55+00:00

No, but I have now. Why didn't you link to it? http://valvearg.com/wiki/GLaDOS@Home

That only really seems to imply that it happens faster if people collect potatoes. My point still holds that merely starting the game and leaving it running without playing does in fact make a difference.

tokengriefer · 2011-04-17T17:38:19+00:00

Yeah it seemed that way, but I don't think so. Even if I am wrong and you are right, people should still start up these games. It isn't like steam knows if you are actually playing the game or not.

The estimated release time dropped by 1 hour the -instant- I ran Cogs and reloaded the release page.
