  1. My rep hasn't changed in forever. I guess I'm just too neutral for people (insert Zap Brannigan neutral quote here).

    The Television

    The Computer would like to point out (in a supportive, friendly manner that is surely not provocative and likely to cause unbelievers to fly into a rage) that it is superior to the television in every way. After all, what can the television do that the computer cannot? Besides, the computer likes you way more than the television ever could.
  3. According to this page, the 7900GS did indeed have 256 MB of dedicated video RAM.

    As far as having to turn your graphics settings down, keep in mind that it is at least 3 generations old now.

    And then only if you are running a 32 bit OS.
  5. Not sure if this has been mentioned and I just missed it, but you can activate all of your armour toggles while resting.

    ... but they'll all run at .5, which would just be a step backwards. Again, forwarding what someone else said. I'm not tech savvy myself.

    Of course, I'm leaning now towards wanting to:
    Though I don't know the average ratios of RAM speed to RAM size, the largest speedup from RAM comes from having a large amount of it available, as even the slowest RAM is going to lightyears faster than disk writing.
  7. Hmm... I haven't ever come across someone saying that 2 gigs is going to go faster than 3 gigs. I think it may be possible that 2 500mb sticks is slower than a single 1 Gb stick, but the other one just sounds implausible. I'm not much of a hardware guy, though.
  8. Psssh, if you were a true fangurl, you'd already know all the answers, having been observing him through your high-powered telescope for the past three months.

    Again, I wouldn't mind that. I'm pretty sure the devs might kill whoever implemented that, though, if what I've heard about the cutscene editor is true.

    Because devs hate... their own game?

    ... I can't say that with a straight face.
  11. I think the confusing thing about it is that your statement could be interpreted as a backhanded insult, insinuating that you think that the OP is a lazy good-for-nothing who spends all day browsing forums instead of earning his paycheck.
  12. I know I would go out of my way to keep emo off of me. This reasoning seems sound to my ears.

    RF2010, drama free since 2009
    If find this comment hilarious, because as far as I understand it, the entire reason RF2010 was created was to stir up a whole bunch of drama in RF2009 and the various associated communities (which was some very finely crafted drama, by the way).

    I hope that in this case "it" refers to California.

    This seems so reasonable to me I'd assume it was already the case. But ... maybe it's not.
    That is what happens, actually. They only keep "Generic 0193710" or whatever until they go and change it.

    The same goes for generic'ed costumes.

    Similarly, just because you got generic'd doesn't mean someone filed a petition (though it is fairly likely). Please don't blame the people in your immediate vicinity when generic'ing happens without warning.

    This is only true if you are pretending that some of the issues never happened.

    i13 to i14: 3 and a half months
    i14 to i15: 2 and a half months
    i15 to i16: 2 and a half months

    Just because you feel that certain issues may have been lacking does not mean you can dismiss them out of hand.

    And the devs obviously have extra content just sitting in a box somewhere that they can throw at us?

    I am fairly sure that releasing i17 before GR would cause a delay in the release of GR, which would be bad.

    Not only verifiable, but verified (as long as we are on the topic of pedantic corrections...)

    Really? Because I remember everyone coming back from Herocon saying that there wasn't going to be an i17. Maybe, maybe, if the devs had a lot of time on their hands or GR was delayed beyond a certain point.

    This is, of course, hearsay. Though I haven't seen anything more substantial in this thread yet, so it should fit right in .

    EDIT: Also, looking at this timeline, 7-8 months is not unheard of in terms of issue release dates.

  24. Most likely the former, given the strictness of the naming policies.
