Doublezero

I should be finished working on base this week. Once I've set up my computer and everything goes as planned, I should have time to work on the game.

With all the recent censorship in gaming, I believe it's more important than ever for someone to get the ball rolling on an open-source adult RPG. No way the payment processors can stop this!

Also, I see no reason why we can't create multiple games. For instance, we could design a medieval-style game and a post-apocalyptic one if we have enough volunteers.

I would like to introduce the concept of degrading abilities. The idea is that some abilities increase when the player uses certain items, but decrease with lack of use. It's kind of like how skills decrease when a character is in jail in Skyrim.

Strength: For example, strength increases when wearing heavy armor or swinging a weapon. The heavier the weapon, the stronger the player becomes. Additionally, a player's strength increases faster when they consume protein-rich foods.

Intelligence: How should intelligence be handled? Reading books should increase intelligence. How quickly should it degrade, if at all? Should players reread the same books to maintain their intelligence?

Taking an idea from SexLab Aroused, overly aroused characters' skills would increase more slowly.

I'd say a character with a sex addiction should lose intelligence. I'd imagine that satisfying their arousal and constantly pursuing sex would cause this. 

Saving this here.

This whole situation was a mess, and I was unaware of it. I stopped using unofficial patches for Bethesda games around the time Fallout 4 was released. I came to the conclusion that patches like this only enabled Bethesda's laziness, so the whole idea seemed silly and counterproductive. I'm not even going to go into all of the unnecessary changes the mod team made to the game. 

Okay, I'm confused. I want to buy 3600 MHz RAM (specifically this ram kit) for this motherboard. From what I understand, this motherboard's RAM can only be overclocked to 3600 MHz. Does the RAM run at 3600 MHz right out of the box, or do I need to overclock it?

Let's keep it civil and see if maybe we can come up with a workaround/solution? I'm just throwing it out there. I know at the end of the day the final decision is up to Doublezero.

If bjornk were willing to meet me halfway, he could suggest that I post an announcement explaining why some topics are temporarily locked due to spam bots and that they will be unlocked upon request. But he just wants to argue.

And yet you post links to other forums to show me what others are doing.  "Look, others are also locking old threads" and yet you keep 4 year old threads unlocked while locking the ones barely 6 months old. At least have some consistency.

The example was about a "potential" member with no posts. Where on earth do you see someone who joins a forum and first message he posts is "Could you please unlock this thread, I'd like to post in it?".

I was invited here by @Kendo 2 who gave me the link and then @endgameaddiction. I was reassured I wouldn't experience the same crap happening on LL, such as the ego tripping moderators/admins, arbitrarily locked threads, "my way or the highway" attitude and so on. Looks like I was mislead. Not here to listen to the same crap. Feel free to run your little tyranny however you like it.

I don't give a damn who invited you. I don't care about your imaginary potential members. I don't care if there wasn't consistency in the witch threads that were locked. You know nothing about how these bots attack this site. Some attack specific forums; others attack specific threads. If you don't like how we do things here, then go kick rocks.

I like how you have the gall to compare us to LoversLab when all we did was allow you to attack a moderator and argue with the administrator. Any other forum would banned you twice over.

Please, I was a moderator on two forums between 1999-2005 and then the admin of one 2006-2008. You don't lock old threads unless they are no longer relevant (e.g. topics specific to a particular year, things that are no longer valid).

I don't give a damn if you were a moderator on another forum. Not everyone is going to run a forum the same way. If you were a moderator, you would know that derailing a thread and arguing with an administrator are not tolerated.

Why should I ask permission to be able to post in my own thread again which wasn't even a year old cause it was locked for no reason? In fact, why would I even want to create a thread if it's going to be locked anyway? In any case, I can see that most threads are now unlocked, I hope they remain that way.

This isn't your forum, it's mine, and I make the rules. You don't pay to keep this place running. You don't deal with the technical headaches that come with running this website. You don't have to deal with foreign governments around the world who want to force you to log in with an ID. Now add internet assholes who do nothing but tell people how to run their forums to the list.

Just to give you an example why it's wrong to lock "old" threads that are still relevant. Let's say I found this forum and saw the thread about the Fallout TV show and seeing there are some like minded people I wanted to sign up and join in the discussion, but then thread is locked. What am I supposed to do? Message a moderator or the admin to unlock the thread? I haven't even posted anything yet, why would they unlock the thread for me? Shall I create another thread? Perhaps I just wanted to respond a message in the old thread?

Post a new one. We've merged duplicate topics before. This stuff isn't that complicated, dude. You could also do what you just did in this thread. If you're too afraid to ask a moderator why a topic was locked, then you weren't going to post much here anyway.

Popular forums may afford losing new members as they already get a lot of traffic, I doubt anyone would want to maintain a forum with barely 10 active members.

I do. I've been running this place for almost a decade. Most people don't post in the forums; they just download what they want and leave, and I'm fine with that. I'd rather run a small forum than one full of woke snowflakes.

Same as Ashal and his moderators then.

 

It's the same as with most forums.

https://xenforo.com/community/threads/way-to-prevent-new-users-from-bumping-old-threads.211560/

Some admins lock old threads when users post new replies.

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2244371#p2244371

If you would like to continue a discussion in a locked thread, simply ask. There's no need to make a mountain out of a molehill.

As I said, not all were "old" threads, much older threads weren't locked.

Not to mention you don't get to decide whether or not a conversation is completed, the creator of the thread decides that. And you don't lock old threads in mass to combat spammers, if you do, people will have to "spam" the forum with duplicate threads on the same topic, which proves that locking threads is dumbass move. Not to mention those spammers can easily post in new threads as well. To deal with spam you simply delete the message and block/ban the account, no other action is needed.

I did not comment then because I wasn't here to post anything, wasn't logged in, I had only come here to look for a specific post I had made before.

A moderator's job is not arbitrarily locking threads because "he feels like it", that is literally the SAME EXACT high-handed, disrespectful approach of LL moderators.

I support ritualclarity's decision to lock those threads. If you have a problem with that, too bad, because I approve all moderation decisions around here.

I just noticed that the drop down from the search bar on the upper right needs to be fixed. When you click the drop down it shows behind the what ever you call that thing, tab bar? lol

Fixed.

Don't think so. I noticed it several months ago and I can see which moderator locked them.

Yeah, I see it now.

Edit:

Now I remember! ritualclarity locked the old, inactive threads a few months ago. It looks like I undid that.

What is the reason for the large amount of "Locked" threads, all of which seems to be locked at March 16th?

I think the update I did this morning is responsible. No moderators took any actions.

People in the YouTube comments were downplaying this yesterday.

I ordered a new motherboard and CPU for my PC, and I'm planning to buy a 1TB SSD. I'm going to take this opportunity to play around with a different Linux distribution.

I've been reading about the Debian-based version of Linux Mint and I'm intrigued. It seems that Debian-based distros are more flexible when it comes to installing GPU drivers.

There's an issue with Cinema 4D and Wine that causes the program to crash when OpenGL is enabled, and it appears to only affect Ubuntu-based distros. I'm interested to see how C4D performs with LMDE.

What's the easiest way to block the istripper women dancing on the screen when browsing this site? No offense, but it's annoying and I'm tired of tolerating it. I'm fine with the ad banners, but the women on screen just gets old and invasive intrusive. Especially when I'm trying to click on something where they pop up. Often times it takes me directly to their site. Even if they fade away.

Is my only option to block each female by each element?

I removed it entirely. I'll use a less intrusive ad instead.
