We need a section on the site with words invented or repurposed by SS. Such as "degreeds".
Funny how he responded to the challenge by trying to sell us his tshirts!

I bet the Hoodie can rip through tape like it was bread, so it should be okay.
MPS's "How is my trapper. Friend supposed to trap a. Bird in that???" post is a source of hard lols.
I can't help but wonder what SpectateSwamp would do in Soviet Russia...
I started on VB6... made some interesting and fairly playable 2d tiled games. Once I realised that using activex controls for each level of the game was a bad idea, and found how to use GDI calls instead of moving image boxes around a form, things went a bit better, though I still had the nasty habit of making a form for each level and then copy-pasting the game logic between each form whenever I added a feature. Actually, I eventually grew out of that too, and then got a decent level designer (which saved text to a file - each tile had three numbers which either describe what sort of terrain and object were there, or other things depending on what sort of object it was... yeah it was messy). Then I grew out of using VB. While I never used classes, I never used gotos either - even then I knew better. Though I do have vague memories of declaring loop variables globally, and then discovering that this was a bad idea when a loop in a function disrupted the loop in the function that called it. Anyhow, it was an interesting learning experience, and I had fun without annoying anyone else in the process :D
Sorry SpectateSwamp but I'll soon be too busy playing Portal 2 to care.
When I saw the thread title I thought it ws someone making fun of SS... imagine my surprise when I saw it was the swampling himself, and that he thanked the forum for his demo videos being ready.
The pool-related post had me in stitches!
Can the power of the stones bring back Irish Girl?
I hope this happens to the swampling:
There are 12 kinds of people: those who can count in trinary, those who can't, those who try reading base-related jokes out loud, those who are now thinking about 'all your base', those who would buy this on a t-shirt, those who think this is getting too long, and those who realise this is actually pentary.
CreditText should append Swamp to all names, right?
A good SwampBite:

one part of the site (maybe the facts part) should chronicle all the revelations we've been given, associated with "you now know hal", or three quarters or 90% or suchlike

All the libraries across South Australia have been migrating across to a single borrowing platform to, amongst other things, make getting materials from other libraries significantly easier and making it possible to walk into any public library and use a library card to borrow materials regardless of one's home library.So if you go to Queensland you're screwed?

It's got to take more superior technology to produce those than the lasers you can't evade.
If I pretend that's a screenshot of mspaint I can hold onto some of my sanity.

I registered there to comment that your forum software looks shitty and it's probably some proof-of-concept in Go, but it doesn't even work. Go figure.Also your nonstandard port will probably scare bots away.

Um why won't the image go under the text?
Oh yeah I have to put the linebreaks in as html :P

Chrome has big version numbers too? I haven't actually ever looked at the version number, so... 29? Really?@HardwareGeek said:
Actually, I'm surprised they haven't started incementing version numbers by 2 or 3 so that they can jump ahead of Chrome, which seems to be the only thing they care about.@PJH said:

The op-ed page of an "Hardcore Computing" copy you found in your boyfriend's closet?
Are you that insecure about yourself and you struggle to come up with any argument on why Windows isn't the "kinda sorta works" platform that you need to resort to homophobic remarks?
I guess Windows is as bad as I suggest it is, when even its supporters can't come up with a decent argument for it.
