  1. I am quite annoyed that invision kept the spam messages it didn't feel like cleaning out. We've been displaying over 100 pages of india based scam threads ever since the move. Out of our sight, but I guarantee the search crawlers indexed them the whole time. Thankfulkly now all the sections should be clean.

    I would not be surprised if the board devs actually had a deal with the spammers to leave that behavior in their software...

  2. Some of the required classes for an education major are on how to teach, not just what to teach. Basically therapy sessions to make sure you know the choke hold is not a valid teaching tool, no matter how tempting it is.

    But yeah, if you get into public or even private education you will be confronted by both students and parents who see you as nothing more than an obstacle to yell at until it goes away. http://notalwayslearning.com/ is a good source of horror stories.

    But like I said, there is more to an education major than public school teaching.

     

     

    As for psychology. Yes, it's extremely fascinating and I even took every class on it I could in college (probably could have done a minor in psychology if I asked). But there is a big difference between between fascination and able to stand dealing with people who will attempt to incite others to physically assault you in one breath, deny it the next, and make sure you're still up for the photo op next week with their third.

  3. Don't discount an education major just because you don't want to sit in front of 30 bored teenagers. Colleges and universities need professors, online classes need instructors and curriculum planners, museums and historic sites need curators. Infact if you could sneak in some natural sciences classes you open a solid career path with parks&rec departments across the country.

    Personal experience, my job has me working with some state historic sites and the full time employees there seem to love their jobs. Not just answering tourist questions, but arranging sites, designing informative material, dealing with state and local politics.

     

    Architecture I would say find a local design firm and see if any of them would be willing to have a sit down chat and answer your questions/concerns. Even if your professors are all industry veterans, they are still atleast a couple years removed from actual draft work.

     

    Political science. This is just me but I try to stay as far away from politics as possible (yes, odd coming from a government employee, but meh...). Too much relies on moods, doublespeak, and opinions.

  4. Existence of people who try to enforce their interpretation of the law isn't exclusive to minecraft, no.

    But I wasn't joking about that thought process. I got into an argument with some guys on the IC2 forums who wrote literally that. They claimed the technic admins and even users were thieves, rapists, and baby killers, which alblaka read and decided to allow. And when they couldn't scream me down themselves, they chanted sengir until he appeared to use his divine modder authority to smite me with "Stop quoting me! You're stupid!"

     

     

    Frankly this is exactly why I never got back into modding after my first tries in 1.2.5. The fanboys are still so completely insane I'd rather just sit back and play.

    Having my work actually stolen and rebranded didn't turn me away from modding 16 years ago, but minecraft did in a couple months.

  5. Meh, it's only complicated because minecraft is big and therefor attracts massive numbers of sad little trolls.

    I still don't know of any other mod scene where "They are competition for my favorite thing, so they are automatically rapist thief baby killers and I will make that truth known to all!" is a valid and publicly supported thought process.

     

    Frankly I'm curious as to why people still use railcraft. It needlessly complicates track construction, a big chunk of the mod could be replicated with a single block to alter track intersections, and doesn't it still have that buggy heat tracking system?

  6. Server downloads are up to the pack creator. If they provide one or not is up to them.

     

    Your best bet is to just make the server install yourself. You can harvest the mods and configs folders from the client install and use them with a forge enabled sever of the same forge version.

  7. Can't tell if a lazy but legitimate question, or just a troll...

     

    Tekkit Classic still has a decent sized following, with new servers popping up every so often (2 in the last week). Tekkit lite as well.
    Age doesn't matter. If the pack is fun, people will play it.

     

    And frankly there are over 100,000 custom modpacks on the platform. Focusing on Tekkit and Tekkit alone is pretty narrow minded.

  8. I caught the pregnant lady thing too. Just knocked up and I couldn't reassign her back to another room.

    But exiting out and starting the game back up fixed it.

     

     

    They did a real good job with this thing. They avoided all the nagging crap and paywalls, and still made a killing off it. $5mill in the first couple weeks of iOS only, and who knows how much the hardcore android users will dump into it to play catch up.

  9. *click Rush mode*

    game *did you click Rush button? I didn't register the touch*

    *Click Rush*

    game *I still didn't register that touch*

    *CLICK RUSH*

    game *oh now you cl-... oh you double-tapped so we exited the Rush mode*

    FUCKS SAKE!!

     

    how the fuck can anyone enjoy touch games?

    5"+ screen and/or working stylus, plus a processor capable of running it decently.

    Usually I avoid touch games but fallout shelter will help tide me over till november.
