Sup people who are up at 6am. Finally going to see King Kong today with some friends, figure it's about time. If it sucks I'm banning all of you. Also on FileShack






























  • Well, my Steam panic is over. I guess that you need to have some ports open or forwarded properly to do a Steam game server, and I was getting the error "Steam Verification Failed", but only if I entered "map [mapname]" in CS:S or HL2DM with sv_lan set to 0. If I set it to 1, it'd start a LAN listen server just fine. I have a WRT54G on the connection, and it's not set up to forward ports, so that's probably it. The HDR in de_nuke looks rather nice, but it's not a feature that blows me away. It's just one of those things that seems sensible, but takes a lot more resources. Kinda like soft shadows.

    Also, I need help enabling and disabling services in NetBSD, which I installed on my Sparcstation 5. The box currently starts up lean and mean, but launches sendmail on startup (which I don't want), and doesn't launch sshd on startup (which I very much DO want, considering that this box is going to run headless). BSD doesn't have the /etc/rcX.d script initialization setup that's in Linux and Solaris. And to make matters worse, using vi in a hyperterminal session results in the top line of the vi screen going up into the buffering region of the terminal (and hypertrm is VERY bad when it comes to buffering; it corrupts if you go past its pathetic buffer history of 500 lines), and the terminal cursor isn't where the ACTUAL cursor is, so you can't reliably edit anything. Therefore, enabling sshd on startup becomes all the more important, since things will likely work a lot better using PuTTY.



  • Whoever conceived the changes to be made in Xenosaga II from the first game needs to be dragged out to the street, shot, run over, have an anvil dropped in his head, subjected to Chinese water torture, beaten with a baseball bat, shocked in an electric chair, tar and feathered, lynched, kicked in the balls, nullo'd, drop the soap and be ass-raped, shot some more, run over some more, exposed to anthrax (paging Homeland Security), have nuclear bombs dropped on him, shot at point-blank by a pumpkin cannon, thrown off a cliff, launched from a trebuche into a the ocean, ripped apart by vicious laser-equipped sharks, launched into space on a collision course with the nearest black hole and sent through a dimensional portal where he will die a billion deaths in Hell.

    I'm not angry...
