Uplay had somehow managed to remove itself from my computer and im not sure how. I certainly didn't do it.
The more of these that I make the more complex they tend to get, and I always realize it before I put on the bodywork. As of late I've vastly reduced the amount of friction on each axle, they roll now. Little crumply toy cars. Just gotta make a tiny radiator mount and I'll have a ford transit soon :3
How do you even download a trial on Uplay? EDIT: Found it You go to the Games tab, then click Free games and the trials are there
I literally downloaded Uplay just to do this. The only game I wanted was The Crew and I don't want to take advantage so I just downloaded that one.
Whatever happened (if it did), it seems to be fixed now. --- Post updated --- I used to try and make cars with crumple zones with lego. Was difficult to get right though since you could make them require different types of impacts by connecting them in different ways. Also made cars with roll cages and things. Was a lot of fun to make cars and crash them. Problem being is that they were damaging the skirting boards quite a bit
Haven't woke up without a hangover of some degree in almost a month; this quarter sucks, and I could still use a stiff drink before my next class (in three hours). Drowning pain in alcohol seems like the healthy option at this point. :/
Don't use alcohol as a crutch, that's how addictions are made. If life busts a nasty load on your face you swallow it with a smile, and keep going. The hangovers only happen if you drink more.
I remember legos and trying the same thing... and getting irked with the fact that the material is fundamentally unsuitable for crashes. So I started using soda cans to make car bodies for cheap toys I cannibalize for the wheels. After cutting my hands on sharp steel I moved onto my strange hobby of making these tiny foil cars. I glue a couple of pennies to their floor and send them down hotwheels tracks or whatever. ever notice that the most satisfying part of a build is the quickest stage? It takes me about 3 hours to get to the stage you saw earlier for each one I make, and 10 minutes later the bodywork is stuck to it and it's finished. So it's 3 hours, maybe 3 and a half and they have one or two crashes in them. It's a lot of work but the wrecks are usually quite satisfying.
At least your still alive. Get in while you can buddy, not much drinking can be done when your decomposing in a hole.
--- Post updated --- TIL you can set different wallpapers for different monitors in windows 10. Use windows key + R for the run menu and then paste control /name Microsoft.Personalization /page pageWallpaper
For some reason i had to reinstall BeamNG twice because of a disk read error the thing that is most wierd about this is that my other games worked fine fingers crossed after the second install my game will run. Steam why do you have to be like this sometimes.
I have been thinking of playing BeamNG while finishing off assignments ready for hand in tomorrow. But all programming is finished and 1 of 2 write-ups are finished and 1 of 2 videos are finished. Both write-ups had a 1000 word limit. Remaining video has a 30 seconds limit. Should be finished today with time to play some BeamNG afterwards The new update is awesome though. I put quite a few hours into it yesterday. I have been really enjoying Utah since it reminds me of a lot of the really good RoR maps such as Greece and Auriga.
So we're having the electronics recycling at school again. I found a vintage IBM 5150 in the pile that I can't take because my school has zero sense of humor and is unaware that collectors exist. Fucking hicks, if it weren't for them, I'd be the proud owner of an IBM 5150 Personal Computer. You know what, screw them, I'm taking the thing. I refuse to let it get recycled.
Had a similar event here. They were hauling away some amazing stuff: '80s servers, some recent thousand-dollar Asus laptops with only a broken screen, a few vintage machines (Commadore64, Apple Mac II, bunch of IBMs) plus a bunch of discarded hardware. Guys running it wouldn't let me near, even though they weren't doing anything and the CRTs were going in a separate pile. They said the stuff was going straight to China to be disassembled and scrapped. As I was leaving I managed to snatch a handful of parts that had spilled onto the ground just then; I made off with a MS-DOS install disk (only disk 2 of several, though), two 3.5" floppy drives, and an HD 6450 plus a few assorted cables. Man, I feel your pain. So much cool, functional tech gets crushed.
Well, part of it is data security. If the devices have storage left in them they are going to need to be securely disposed of unless the admins are willing to do a proper wipe themselves (and take responsibility for doing so). I think there were channels that you could go through at my old secondary school to get old equipment if you were unable to afford a computer your self. But the oldest thing you would have got would have been a core 2 duo since they run on 2 year upgrade cycle for all computers. So every 2 years IT labs got new computers and old IT computers got passed down to other departments computer labs. Although I think a few of the teachers computers were still running some very slow Celerons since teachers computers were upgraded when they died most of the time. The teachers computers actually ran in an unventilated wooden shelf with a door on the teachers podium, But the IT admins aren't gonna go round drilling holes in stuff
