It's the utility mods like Unread Books Glow and SkyUI that I really miss unfortunately, but I'll look into those when I take a break from XCOM 2

The best thing about the re-vote petition is that it was apparently started by a pro-leave campaigner before the referendum who thought we would stay. Whether that's actually true or not I don't know, but it's a great story nonetheless

Ooo, interesting. Spam for black magic spells to defend against other black magic spells.
This could be interesting. I'm guessing it will eventually evolve into PVP roleplaying with thread titles of "i CAsT Black Magic Love Missile aT babaji12321" and "+16058675309 jakarta i dEFEnd agAINsT Black Magic Love Missile witH Black Magic Shield of Light"

Alright guys, the Official Kitty Jail Tekkit Legends server is officially OPEN.
Rules: Be cool. Don't grief, steal, etc. I neither want nor expect to have to make some exhaustive list of rules. 
The server address is:  spence.mooo.com
(No, that's not my name, I just borrowed the address.)
Things to note:
I have left mobgriefing enabled, but I, (or an op), will compensate/refund you if exessssssive damages are caused by this, (IE: creeper in your machine room.) All chunk-loading is enabled, but please keep it reasonable, as the server isn't super duper powerful. Please no more than one or two chunkloading devices per person. PvP is enabled. The server difficulty is set to Normal. The server should be on 24/7, but if anything happens to it, let me know either here or on Steam, and I'll fix it ASAP. I have made a few custom config file tweaks, the significant ones are listed below:
 
 
Enjoy!
 

To the spammers we've progressed past luring girlfriends in with fake counterfeit fashion accessories, and now need magic slavery spells to keep them.
Next they'll probably offer spells to ensure male children or black market adoption services.

So here's a thing. It's free.

I thought Patreon was supposed to be donations, not purchases. That sounds more like a kickstarter method than rewarding people for supporting you

Not sure how to fix the others, but I suggest drying out your computer to fix the first one. We'll at least be able to see more of the log

So I've been working on this retro custom modpack, but I've been getting all of these bizarre crash errors.
Logs in spoiler:

​Well, you've gotta do something with them before they convert your entire army to the other side. How else am I supposed to win a game of AoE?

It's not being able to read it that counts, it's that it existed
The Kitty jail live on in our hearts. We should probably get it out of there, it's gonna get covered in blood and start smelling.

/rage rant
ahhh i god damn hate this….
so I've recently moved and i set up my computer and it only boots up to the bios screen, so i had to go and make sure my hard drive was still connected or if it got dis lodged during moving or something, this involves moving all the mono stuff out of the way. i do this find out my hard drive is still attached so i put everything back together and nothing only a blink of my LEDs. so now my PSU is shot (i think it got surged, this is an old building) so now i need to get new PSU before i can use my computer….IF ITS NOT ONE THING ITS A FUCKING ANOTHER THING!!!!

how hard is it for life to just let me shoot some aliens? (Xcom: EW: long war) i mean really…

/rage rant
so i'm typing this from my mother's….Mac… *shivers*, i should have my wifi sometime this week though…i've also discovered that it is very possible to play to much zelda…waaaaaaay to much zelda. 

My dad wants to take my computer into the local computer store to get fixed.

God help the person who sees my pictures.

We launched ok geeze this topic is filled with old information!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
We are launching on Christmas Day
 
Hold on to your butts.
 
The new Platform is here: http://beta.technicpack.net/
The new Launcher is available from here: LauncherV3



 
This is a major design and (especially) feature shift from the current system.

For those of you that make packs you get access to a wealth of social features, update-in-launcher aspects and a very clear line of communication to your users. Your Platform page is now a very robust platform (heh) from which to show off your creation and engage with your users directly.

For those of you that just play, now you'll have many more ways to interact with pack creators and a voice of your own to highlight packs you like, read what other users are doing, etc.

Everyone will benefit from the new system, and we hope you guys like it as much as we've loved creating it for you. Please remember that this is not complete and things will be broken. If you find something that doesn't work like you think it should post it here, or come to #platformbeta on SynIRC and let us know. 
 
If you already have a Platform account (not the same as your Forums account) just use the same info to log in, remember to use your email instead of your username.

I grew up on dos. I watched as bill gates saved apple's ass during the 90's. I laughed as microsoft took a mid powered computer during the early 2000's and passed it off as a gaming console. I cursed when they bought FASA and turned both a tried and true game line and promising FPS based on interesting lore into lackluster offerings. And I saw them take a small game studio and transform their sci-fi shooter into something so compelling it turned the frat-boy crowd from diehard anti-nerd into console freaks who camp midnight launches.
I've watched microsoft for a quarter century now. And I can tell you they do make mistakes, but a company with nearly $100billion in yearly revenue doesn't just blindly drop a couple percent of that on a property then gut it while claiming they'll make it back in a year.
They do their research with people who have written essays about the socioeconomic effects of frogger on america. They run it past people who's whole job is to gauge market trends and warn them if their plan is so bloody stupid a 5 year old could point that out. Infact I'm guessing there's a dozen MC players out there who are still under an NDA from when they were in a focus group within the last year, who could give you a general idea of what MS plans to do with MC.


tl;dr You may want to believe microsoft is staffed by retards with zero business sense, but that doesn't make it true.
No one would think it's a good idea to tell their new playerbase that they can't play the game they already paid for unless they fork over a monthly fee.

In notch's defense, I suspect the guy is having the same issue many lotto winners have. The idea of being obscenely rich is so alien to him his brain is incapable of comprehending what the money actually means and has defaulted to something it could handle.
 
Every couple of weeks some lucky schmuck in the US wins $40-300m and is presented a choice, take a lump sum that cuts off somewhere between 30-50% of the jackpot, or get it all as an annuity over 30 years. What they decide is a good indication of how their brain is confusing the situation.
Lump sum: Their brain sees a big number and it just keeps going, all the way to infinity. They cannot comprehend ever using it all up so the choice between infinite now and much less than infinite every year is a no brainer.
Annuity: It can't be happening, because big numbers like that exist for other people only. So there's no difference between what they currently make and that number with a couple wrongly placed zeros, and they need to maximize it and keep it as tightly guarded as possible because one wasteful decision cans end you right back to the poor house.
 
I'm guessing notch falls into the second group, he just cannot comprehend how much he actually can do with this money and sees it as less than it actually is.
I get that idea from a quote they had of him on npr. Apparently the guy took the deal because he doesn't want to be part of the big game biz and plans on using the cash to make a couple more small games.
The guy could hire his old team with million dollar salaries and putz around with any game idea they felt like, dedicating as much as any AAA title out there, and still not dent his cash reserves for decades. And he expects it will let him personally make a couple games...
 
 
Personally I find psychology interesting. It's what keeps me with minecraft, the drama it runs on is just ripe with all flavors of neurosis, complexes, and full on delusions.
 
 
As for the future, I know KSP could use a good mod installer/manager and minetest looks like it just needs some love for it to completely replace minecraft.

I became an admin on a server

Since JAKJ has been rather scarce lately and Redstone in Motion is too good to let die and open source, and no one else has stepped up to develop it further, I've decided to continue it.  Out of respect for JAKJ's request that forks don't use the same name, I'll call my version "Remain in Motion".

You can set NEI to Recipe mode in the options (bottom left of your inventory), which allows you to use it to see the recipes of items without spawning them. There's also a config option to lock it in that mode if you don't want yourself or others to be tempted, but you'll have to edit that in the config file separately.
