Mayor of Tempest Lake

I come to pay my respect to chat; yes, including the Flash one.

Here you go. No CBD shot yet... too many dark assets.

Yes, all the time, mostly because my hours counter has been high enough for the word "addiction" to start being thrown around. *cough*150*cough*

And C:S won't reach that scale (144 tiles). It can't. There's no "edge" to your cities in C:S, where once you fill up a tile, you quit that tile and load another one. SC4 has the advantage of only having to simulate one tile at a time. Imagine the flames that would be coming out of the side of your PC if SC4 allowed you to have all 144 tiles open at once. C:S does have all those tiles open at the same time, and it would simply be too much to handle at the scale you are talking about. I realise that seeing it's already struggling at 230K, and thus doesn't bother me that much. 10x10 is more than enough for all intents and purposes, and enough to create an illusion of a big city ie. able to take a photo without showing the massive amount of emptiness behind it.

Currently clocked in at 140 hours for C:S.. Maybe, maybe not. While C:S surpassed SC4 in mostly everything in terms of the interface, performance, "the feel", it is still morbidly lacking in the sheer scale that SC4 provides. I pretty much have to stop expanding at ~230K because I've reached the maximum amount of utilities and services allowed on the map, and I've not even reached borders on all sides of the 5x5 plot; while my largest city in SC4 is 24kmx24km (144 C:S tiles) However, that said, both games provide me with the feeling that I am building cities, instead of administrating some kind of weird engineering experiment involving Sims on an acreage.

You failed to yield thy quarterly earning statement.

Could have never gotten that. It's meister.

Congrats for 11 years, old man. signed, the other 11 years+ old man.

Which Linux Distro are you using? Slackware from 2001-2007; Ubuntu for a brief time in 2008; Suse 2009-2010; Mint 2011- Which desktop environment are you using? Xfce on the Mint, KDE for all others; GNOME2 was butt ugly. Do you like Linux? Why? Not the matter of like or not, I just like playing with new things. Do you play SC4 or another game, or even run Windows software in Linux? No, I have the gaming rig for that, and I will never change that to Linux since it requires too much effort to make sure all the games run on it. However, I do have Cygwin on it.

Windows 8.1 Pro on the Dell Venue 11 Pro, with a broken license. Waiting for a replacement from the seller. Windows 7 x64 on the gaming rig/desktop. XP Pro x64 on the Dell M1210. I might change the M1210 to Mint /w Xfce if that Win 8.1 stop going primadonna on me. I don't really care about what OS the compy is running; the OS is a either canvas for my stuff, or never going to stick around for long. I'll never change my gaming rig to Linux because it works perfectly well on Win7, and the amount of efforts required for everything on it to work all the time far, FAR, FAR, FAR outweighs the benefits of sticking Ubuntu on that. I won't hold my breath until "the" distro lasts longer than 3 years. I distinctively remember Redhat/Suse/Mandrake in 2001, Gentoo in 2005, *buntu in 2009, and Mint now. I used Slack so I avoided all that.

Superjuice I either like or don't like the sound of that.

He still owes me 6 Shillings, and 8 bananas.

Very mainland European like. Quite atmospheric. Also, them roads. Also, thread necromancy here I come.

Mead, mmm mead...

@itsthis, just random stuff. I mostly use it for news.

I have a 7 year old laptop, not a 7 year old with a laptop I used to dualboot on that with XP Pro x64 and OpenSuSE but decided to drop the SuSE part when I swapped the hdd for a 320gigger because I never use it.

My main is on Windows 7. My 7 years old laptop's still on XP Pro x64 and I am not upgrading that old rag.

3176 I am back! and I am gone...
