Can you think of anything that would 'work' for Shmups - I am stumped on the naming and no diversions with Grafx2 can assist. No worries if you cannot, it has me stumped.
The last time I had to name a library I found a name but the numbers were easier.
I literally believe you are insane. I apologize for everything - this isn't worth being stabbed over. I'm sorry. You were right, I was wrong. Let's drop this now. Please don't eat me.
No worries, Rancy.

So long as the Bromance continues we are all good - can we change this to the "Bromances: Brothers make up for the shmup of it".

Ok, I realise that you and me have not agreed on all mattes. This is a shame, we got on fine before the arguments.
I'll tell you what, as the comments in the sig upset you, let's remove that and make up - so long as you let me call you Rancy from now on.

Please understand: I am very, very rarely serious and I harbour no grudges against any of you.

Would that be ok, Rancy?

Rancy, is it a good idea to say "anything goes" given the circumstances?

God, you remind me we had a serious closet guy eons back at kendo when I was university; he would never have standard kirikaesi and everything was some odd number - so, when he bellowed "anything goes!" we all shit ourselves.

Let us agree to disagree - we are from different places.

PC games that support gamepads, but forget to disable the screen saver when using it.

There's a song that goes along with your story.
Two working class dudes, one black one white, just baked a tray of ten cookies together.

An oligarch walks in and grabs nine cookies for himself.

Then he says to the white dude "Watch out for that black dude, he wants a piece of your cookie!"

So Square Enix thought it was a good idea to put type of Flan in the extra dungeons (the ones behind the locked doors) of FFXV that's ENTIRELY immune to physical attacks. This game barely emphasizes the spell mechanic at all and now it's suddenly important?! The only alternative I can see is the Lucii ring, but that thing isn't very powerful.

Does anyone who plays this know if I'm missing something?

Nintendo being terrible at things that aren't making games, as usual. Wanted to make use of the Zelda sale, buy A Link to the Past for 3DS VC, since I'm going to get a New but don't have one yet, so I figured I'd buy it now while it's on sale and then play it when I actually get the New. Turns out that no, you're not even allowed to buy things through the web interface if you haven't linked your NNID on a system that can run them.

IMDB's boards will close within weeks and is annoying. Granted, it has its dose of crap just like any forum, but it was ancient and interesting from a hystorical viewpoint, about how people feels and thinks about that movie; TV show; WebShow; Program; Actor; Directors from every country and since the beginning of the audiovisual media.
I hope they manage to preserve it somehow.

Aw, that sucks. I liked it for the reasons you mentioned. Occasionally you can find useful tidbits that don't make it onto the regular listing.

Wow, that does suck. There's a guy who posts there that I usually look at for reviews and recommendations, and it's one of the only places where I might be able to find some discussions about most of the movies I watch. What's the point of shutting it down?

I liked browsing cultier movies' boards, but I could never get along with the aggressively retarded and seemingly global moderation policies. I'd finish enjoying something gleefully profane and/or blisteringly obscene and/or unvarnishedly adult, then hop onboard, spot an interesting thread title and... (actual posts, long since purged)

Sure that companies are getting lazier, if they cannot think any better way other than generic 2000 moe to attract customers.

Websites with infinite scroll. Like, all of them.

It's easily one of the worst features I've ever encountered.
- the longer you browse, the slower everything gets
- browsing through stuff that would be a few pages back is a pain in the dick
- enjoy losing your place for no good reason if you click a link and then go back [some sites auto-update the page URL to mitigate this]

Sites that dynamically load images as you scroll past them are shit too.
Come check out my website, I guess. Random stuff I've worked on over the last two decades.

I dunno, infinite scroll is effort free time wasting at work :wink: It's also much nicer than 3 items a page over 20 pages so we can maximise our ad revenue while fucking your battery and data.

I think dynamic image loading is a necessary technology. It massively improves the load speed of web pages.

Yeah. There's no reward for having a million pages or a million anything anyway, that kind of internet is gone for good.

The day web pages became more program than page we slowly started down a terrible road of shoving everything into the browser.
Instead of JavaScript, the browser should have become a VM that accepts bytecodes from any language capable of generating them.
It is absurd to treat a scripting language as the smallest possible block of a web program.
It's bad design to have to contort other languages to output poorly structured JavaScript yet web hipsters LOVE to do it.

Now we're all locked into a 3 ring multimedia circus of engineering and standards fail.
It is absurd that I load a browser and it eats 666MB of RAM just sitting there.

http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/origi ... 667192.png

The modern browser is the result of people moving in totally the wrong direction in an attempt for cross platform programming.

It's the biggest abomination conceptually I've seen in software engineering.
Some of the best shmups don't actually end in a vowel.
No, this game is not Space Invaders.
