Shryke Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 [snip] ****, that does suck. I hope things get better for you. heh well incidentally i did end up going to the flatwarming thingy, and met my friend's incredibly hot new flatmate definitely some chemistry there, despite me being in a very odd mood all day and being very jumpy and confused i didn't pursue anything with her, and i don't really plan to in future, but it's nice to know that it's there when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!

Shryke Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 argh just got a txt asking if i could come and model for an alternative fashion show thingy tonight normally i wouldn't mind, but if i'd said yes i would've had to meet them for rehearsals in like half an hour, and i'm still at work when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!

Blank Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 As for me, I started playing NWN2 again after about a year of not touching it. It got me thinking. I like it, but I wish we had done more together as a forum community with the game. I remember Eldar/Cantousant offered to DM one a while back when he had an idea for a module. Anyone interested in getting something going? Or just an old-fashioned pen and paper correspondence on the forum? I'd be up for either one of those options. Sweet. Well that's 2 of us. Supposedly there are 21,557. Minus 21,540 to account for Hades' alt's, that should amount to 16 other possible forumites from whom we can recruit. Any other takers?

Deadly_Nightshade Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Any other takers? I would hope so, if not then I'll ask a few people I know if they'd be interested in working on another NWN 2 project. "Geez.

Blank Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Word. Or like I said, if it's easier, a correspondence is fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starwars Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Met an old friend who went to the same school as I did. Hadn't met or talked to her for 5 years or so and was pretty nervous that it'd end up being one of those awkward "soo.... what do you do nowadays?" conversations. But thankfully enough, it felt like we'd stayed in touch all this time. It just picked up right where it left off and we had a blast. Great feeling to re-gain a friend like that. Was a beautiful day as well and went to a local fair. Bought some comfy slippers and some really yummy honey. Great day.

LadyCrimson Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Hubby's multiple monitors. I know this is common nowadays but I still find it amusing. They're all older ones that he got for cheap. A 5th one on the shelf (not turned on) he took apart/repaired the power supply. He joked that he just needs 8 more, placed in 2 more rows above, "like in the movies." “Things are as they are.

Honestly, it'd probably be hell for me to find a way to use that many moniters. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.

LadyCrimson Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 (edited) Doesn't that knacker the graphics card? Depends what you do with the PC. A heavy duty graphic program (game) using all screens might without some powerful cards etc. but most other things run fine. You use 2 cards (not SLI'd) so they share the load somewhat I guess. Hubby just bought 2 cheap $40 nvivia 8000-something series I think. The 5th one on the shelf stands alone & is hooked up to all his networked PC's so he can use it w/any of them via switchbox. As to use...he likes to have lots of windows open/working full-screen. Remote desktops of clients when working, browser in another, pdf file/email in another, and so on. He uses the dual view(?) setting so it's sorta one big 5000+x1000+ desktop but yet also each-independent. It's confusing. Edited April 25, 2010 by LadyCrimson “Things are as they are.

mkreku Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 The newest versions of all ATI video cards come with a function called Eyefinity. You spend slightly more on your video card and it comes with support for up to 6 screens simultaneously. It's pretty neat, actually, since Eyefinity scales most games seamlessly over those 6 monitors, making it possible to game with extreme resolutions and fields of view.

It's pretty neat, actually, since Eyefinity scales most games seamlessly over those 6 monitors, making it possible to game with extreme resolutions and fields of view. Doesn't the frame of the monitors visually distract, tho? I've seen videos of gaming on multiple monitors. Neat in concept but not sure I'd like that broken up look. I'd rather have one really really really wide monitor but they don't make those yet. “Things are as they are.

Walsingham Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 That sounds cool, until you stop and think about how good most games are. Unless I'm just being uncharacteristically depressive.

Its one of those things that you look at and think it would ruin the whole experience, but after you start playing, you completely forget about.

Maybe...I think my silly eyes would never get used to it tho. Unless you had monitors with no frame borders or at least very thin, clearish ones. Seems like I saw one like that once, somewhere. “Things are as they are.

Walsingham Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 I was about to say that I thought men coped fine with an internal representation of the environment. Then I wondered if female gamers might ebnefit more, since they're supposed to have more issues. But then I can't recall where either notion came from. "It wasn't lies.
