Random Rants LXVI: NO, **YOUR** THREAD TITLES SUCK!!

[Timsup2nothin]

I don't have friends to play it with anymore, so what usually ends up happening is that I install it, play single player for a game or two, and then uninstall it with a sense of dissatisfaction.

Install and uninstall seems like too much work for playing a game or two. Is there some reason you can't just leave it installed? I only uninstall things I am fairly sure I will never play again.

Erk, a cold-sore seems to have popped up over night on my lower lip. Should clear in within a few days.

Hey, that's from the Welcome to Plastic Beach video! Love both song and album.

I just uninstalled Starcraft II because I ran out of harddrive space and that game is special. SSDs or Apple you gotta make some choices.

Only got 250 gigs to work with, and a lot of games are over 40 gig each. Between music, games, movies, and shows, I have to keep a revolving door so I can consume new content.

Rant: this <@#~½ing Xenforo software messes with my multiquotes!

So make something up. Do you think I always follow the storyline and dice rolls exactly when I adapt those gamebooks to novel form? I remember reading some of the stories in the Civ III forum that had me in stitches, because the author put such a humorous twist on them.

I hope you have read the adventures of Settler and Worker by WeaselOp/WildWeazel.

I haven't, but if you have a link, I will do so.

I reinstalled Rome: Total War but it's unplayable suddenly. It's like the game is running at 25% the speed it's supposed too. Frame rate is fine, but the speed is... off.

I have no idea why. It's been fine every other time I've played it on this laptop. I'm not sure if I care enough to go through the effort of trying to fix it, but nevertheless the fact that it's broken annoys me.

What has changed since the last time you played/installed it?

I aged from 22 and 1 month to 22 and 7 months. And the Windows 10 updates that have taken place between then and now. That's really it.

We haven't even discovered Alphabet yet! How am I supposed to know what comes next?

I remember this from... god, that is a long time ago. I'm going to reread this.

Does the problem mostly manifest on the campaign map? If so, this is quite a common problem on newer machines with this game. There's no fix for it, unfortunately, other than to use an old computer with out-dated drivers and operating system. The closest I can get is to play EBII for Medieval II.

See shadowplay's post above. Probably one of those updates is not backwards compatible. I have a special Windows XP partition for gaming, but I don't know if you can set one up yourself.

Yeap, right after linking to it I decided to reread it from the beginning. I'm still not even halfway through.

*sigh* So story-wise it didn't actually get that far, due to Murphy's Law mucking up the artist/writer's computer, and far too much spamming in the thread.

I had a good laugh over the scene where they're swimming across the river and one of them asks if they can research Engineering next...

And "ROFL Mao" as the Chinese leader?

Ah, OMTT, that was great.

Which brings me to a rant: It's great, but reading through the thread reminds me of how I acted here when I was 12, and that's not something I like thinking about much.

Probably the biggest reason why I don't frequent the Civ 3 section anymore. It's where Little Me nested, and that way lay dragons.
