The Still New What Did You Last Do Thread

@old computers discussion
Either finance, or lack of interest.
If someone is totally uninterested in newer games or perhaps software in general, they just don't have to upgrade. For some, the oldschool feeling of say, windows 98 is fine with them forever.

Personally, I think I've stopped with upgrading my comp for a long while now, since I got my new video card more than a year ago. Most newer games don't really have me in mood to play, besides, I can't really afford to keep upgrading.. my family is doing rather poor financially nowadays, so it would be rather irresponsible to weigh on us even more.

Now, to contribute to the topic, what I last did was:
Mess around with Java. I've been trying to make a 2D platformer style game, mostly with the purpose of learning. I've learned a lot so far, but I always keep running into epic problems One thing to note, I've tried playing midi files, and succeeded, but for some reason, those which are extracted from IWADs don't seem to work. I guess that's life telling me to use my own stuff instead of borrowing
.. but before I make several shitty songs, I'll try to get it play some proper free-to-use remixes

Actually, it's because wads use the MUS format, not MIDI. You'll need a converter if you want to use them.

Well that's quite weird because winamp recognises and plays it properly when a .mid extension is given, but not when it's .mus

a mus file has the .mid extension, its just a diffrent sort of midi. Winamp can convert a mus to midi by right clicking it in the playlist and then... um "Save as" iirc.

I'm not exactly sure why y'all do that. o.o
Guess it's probably a question of finance (and/or will).

I travel a lot, this laptop is my only portable machine, and I don't have the money to replace it due to being unemployed. (Still.)

Weak computer much?

Fuck off much?

[NeuralStunner]

Yay, completely unnecesary flamewar!

Seriously. Just let it go, okay?

[Ceeb]

I just had it out with a troll on FA who called me an "idoit". I saved every last chunk of the conversation, too. It was quite epic, and it's a good thing I did, since he deleted every bit of it.

"idoit"

That goes right on the list with "retarted".

Whatever planet he's from, they grow some good pot there.

This is the reason why I hate FA sometimes.
