[Layout issues]

Have you tried some of Kyle's Vanilla Black?

I'm using it at the moment, but there's a problem - threads don't appear highlighted when a new post is made. Instead I am having to look for the small text next to a thread saying a new post has been made. Possible to fix this? Like highlighting a thread in blue or something.

Kyle · February 15

I just tried making the 'new' text a little more obvious. Please go post in the actual thread for support with my nonsense.

erm.. I hope I posted it in the correct thread - the one duckie linked to above with faq's? Posted in that after posting in the butthole.

EDIT: whoops - it was the link you posted, but have since found what I'm assuming to be the correct thread. Will post in there!

Sorry sir. I would have the correct link in my sig, except they haven't thought to allow us to edit our signatures. Seems silly to have an uneditable dead link there.

That's quite all right. New forum code is obviously going to have kinks to iron out. In a few months time it will be plain sailing.

I got my modded mini controller from Gummo (hadn't posted since the site was down). Life has been a mad dash the last few weeks so I haven't got a chance to plug it into anything yet to test it out. Pics and tests forthcoming this weekend...

mr.mortified · February 15

Never working on credit ever again. If you can't pay me, I'm keeping your shit until you can. No more of this "you know me i'm good for it" shit. Business is business. Don't bring non-arms length relationships into business. It only breeds trouble.

I wish more posters had this attitude. I swear, people's ability to complain about stuff that they're getting for FREE is staggering...

OK, back with a clear(er) mind and ready to get moving on projects. First up is getting the Link pre-order up and running. After reading the rules of kickstarter/indigogo I think that I have to not use them because if I make a heavily discounted unit for the first x amount of people the rules of KS/IGG force a 1 per backer ruling :/

So I'm moving to Austin TX in about ten days. Does this mean I need to start wearing a cowboy hat, or possibly a poncho?

Amp · February 16

So I was walking home from class yesterday, and as I was nearing the corner, BAM:

weinermobile out of nowhere!

and everyone was totally ignoring it!

The total lack of fanfare and attention kinda weirded me out and made me think I was hallucinating, I guess I wasn't, because the picture is right there on my phone.

Coolio. Not really. The hipsters have taken over so tight pants and single speed bikes would be the look.

I'll make it down sometime and we'll hang out.

Austin is not like that. I live about an hour from there and I'm from SoCal. Born in San Diego and moved to San Jose (hella norcal) in my late 20s. Moved to Killeen TX 2 years ago. Austin is as close to a California town as I've ever seen outside CA. It literally is like they cut a piece of CA out and put it in Texas.

We will have to meet up good sir.

d3v · February 16

Some of BAS's non FG friends were over on business and we took them out to dinner. They gave us all random Hello Kitty stuff from Japan. I got this box of chocolates.

I immediately thought of @JDM7I4...

...who is not getting this because he went dremel.

So if I ever see someone waving a green striped panties in the crowd in the US Grand Prix, I know who's doing it.

Oh shit, totally missed this in all my weinermobile confusion.

We should totally hook up and be poor as shit together.

Some odd reason I can't post in the Absolute n00b thread

I made 4 attempts now to answer questions and nothing show sup after I hit Submit.

[edit]
Now I have a 4 post showing, wow.

That be very blue, sir. Very blue indeed. Looks nice! The quote bar on all skins need highlight somehow so it's more obvious where quotes start and where they end.

Testing now. Already greatly prefer it to the previous 'black'. For a start the reply I'm typing to you now I'm actually able to read instead of the text being almost the same shade as the box background.

Kyle · February 18

Thanks. That should be fixed for both of them. I was previously testing on Opera and Firefox. I'm checking things against Chrome as well now.

A quandary. If a reverse harem centers around a trap who is surrounded/wooed by reverse traps, is it still a reverse harem?

DaRabidDuckie · February 18

I know it's one doujin hentai I certainly wouldn't want to see, that's for damn sure...

Hmmm...I disagree with Duckie. This is one doujin I'd love to read!

...only if it were a full tank though. I don't want just 1 measly chapter.

mr.mortified · February 18

you have to go and explore the shenanigans of this scenario that's for sure

stickystaines · February 18

Can anyone direct me to 'build your own stick' thread, if it exists? I've read the stickies and tried seraching and i'm going through slagcoin which is awesome, but wondering if there was a thread for self building; specifically for helping. It's all in planning at the moment, but would like some advice about some things (case building, PCB's etc).

there's a woodworking thread out there. not sure where it went now though.

MGR:R is out... and I have no money to buy it. :(

gahrling · February 19

I've never been a Metal Gear fan (the only one I liked was the MSX version) so all this hype is lost on me.

Phreakazoid · February 19

I don't really have interest in the new MG game.. I just have a feeling that the bullet time slice and dice will get really old really fast. It's a fun mechanic, and I know you don't "need" it but overall it's just not that cool to me. Then again, I haven't really played an MG game since MGS2, I tried going through snake eater twice and always stopped for some reason. Great game, I just got side tracked and never came back.

Same. Last Metal Gear game I actually played was Metal Gear Solid for the PS1 and having seen friends or roommates play every MGS game since then the only things I can think of with regards to the series are:

1) How come you bother to update your graphics with each version but your controls seem to remain as clunky as ever?

2) Have you considered hiring an editor?

If someone unfairly marks a valid post as 'spam', is there any way to appeal it?

Kyle · February 20

I am not very good at playing video games solo. When I sit down to do so and veg out I feel like I should be doing something more productive. It is fine as long as my kiddo is watching.

That would be nice. I mean I hate bitching about stuff like 'rep' and 'likes' online but on the other hand it does kind of bug me that someone disagreed with my sale thread in the trading outlet. Why? Fuck if I know.

The disagree could have been intended as a "Your prices are too high." I was going to check the thread, but the link in your sig appears to be broken. I'm certain the prices are fine though, it's probably just some troll.

DaRabidDuckie · February 20

My best advice is just to realize that none of this "like, agree, disagree, etc etc" hooplah actually means anything. Don't let people get into your heads like that. Take the good, leave the bad.

spenzalii · February 20

Nice blue theme Kyle. I may actually come back to the main building (SRK) instead of staying in the annex like some of us have (g+)

Gummo · February 20

Reading posts is too difficult.

Why can't we gave large avatars?

Why can't quoted text be easier to notice?

Why can't the signature not look like its part of the post?

Like, agree, disagree are all fine to ignore but if people start abusing the 'Flag' function that will hide posts that might not deserve it.

Aww, at least in the G+ annex I don't feel nearly as bad about being all, "...Oh man, sticks are awesome, you guys are awesome, but all I can speak about with any sort of authority is keyboards mice and Quake :("

Being a nigh-exclusive PC gamer, while trying to feel like you fit in with the FGC is a weird experience. I'll say that.

Well it's not really a Metal Gear game. It's a Platinum action game but with MG characters. In other words, you'll likely be coming back for more slice and dice on hour 50 just because of how deep it is.

Most of these are have been addressed in Tom's thread.

I wouldn't worry about that. Mods are informed when this happens. People who abuse the flag function will be infracted.

So I had a regular copy of Revengence pre-ordered from last year during a preorder sale ($45), and today in the mail I got this...
Was there some kind of Konami upgrade offer or did the store mess up my preorder in my favor? :o

You made your own? I'm wanna start making my own, but i'm a complete beginner at woodworking and electronics :V

What are the dimensions on the cuts of your outer box? And i guess do you have advice before i start diving into the project?

mr.mortified · February 21

nope this one is my razer beta joystick that i linked the mod details for in the thread. I have like 3 customs I want to be able to finish up by the week ends though. I'll post those when I finish them up

ExtremeYoshiFan · February 24

My wireless was dropping, so I swapped out my current router for an older one I had lying around. It was a pleasant surprise to see that I had installed DD-WRT on it before as part of a previous networking experiment.

Sadly this router doesn't do 5ghz N, but it does do 2.4ghz N and it works without dropping the connection, so I won't complain.
