That's convenient. I'll give it a shot as soon as my subscription expires for Norton so I don't waste any money.



None.

I wouldn't really call it "wasting money" if you replace it with a superior product. Just because you spent money on Norton doesn't mean you should keep using it. If, say, you paid for expensive satellite internet access but suddenly found out that free Google Fiber is available in your area, would you stick with the expensive, laggy internet you had before to "not waste any money"?



None.

An artist's depiction of an Extended Unit Death

I think the point Aristocrat is making is that to hold on to Norton simply because you bought it is fallacious reasoning. More specifically, it is the sunk cost fallacy (which is an absolutely fantastic read if you have the time). However, that is off-topic.

Here's the busiest my screen will get:


Woo! EUDs!

Just Firefox, but the taskbar shows my project state.

2nd DatEdit is for a reference to default values. 2nd WinMPQ is for any vanilla MPQs I need for reference.
Every single folder there has some use, whether it be looking up a reference file, assets, or whatnot.
Also have 8 tabs open up in Notepad++ - are few are reference files, a few are actual iscripts I am editing or keeping open just in case... I could probably close a few.

Most of notes are handwritten and lying around on my desk. There are 8 or so. (The paper I use is from the Diablo 3 product.)

OneNote has at least 20 relevant tabs.

It's usually not this busy. Normally, I might have one or two folders open, iTunes and/or Foobar, Firefox, and a game running at most.

EDIT:

How do you feel, SEN? That your tabs are in a tab group labelled stupid. Hm?

EDIT2:

In fact, I should have labelled it peasants.

Okay, now we're just posting desktops? Don't we have this thread in null?

Silly Kame. My post was actually about organisation/messiness.

Cool games there Pronogo. I like every single one (except Armies of Exigo which I don't know).
Especially Freelancer. Rare to see this game nowadays. Do you play the Discovery or Crossfire mods? Awesome stuff, especially for multiplayer.

And bonus points for Warlords 3. Used to play that a lot with a friend of mine.




Aug 6 2012, 3:21 pm Pr0nogo Post #32



I have a lot more tucked away in Program Files. Freelancer is really great fun single-player, but I haven't ventured into multiplayer just because I've been busy.

Warlord III used to be one of my favourite games back in the day. That and the second game are mostly for my dad, but every now and then I boot it up and duke out a Minotaur or something.

Armies of Exigo is from 2004, but the terrain and art style is leagues beyond even StarCraft II in terms of aesthetic appeal - and it has its own editor.

Lord of the Locker Room

Armies of Exigo is one of the games I LP'd a short time ago and it's surprisingly decent, though it has some very serious flaws (the same kind sc2 has) like very mediocre audio/AI and terrible writing



Show them your butt, and when you do, slap it so it creates a sound akin to a chorus of screaming spider monkeys flogging a chime with cacti. Only then can you find your destiny at the tip of the shaft.
