I thought I might as well post this here. An idea for a redesigned HUD I made via CSE2 awhile back. When I made this I was not really sure of weapon icon placement still not particularly sure still.

Good news, my computer's back. Bad news, nothing could be recovered.

cloud backup + physical backup! Speaking of which... probably need to do that myself... Running on a broken Windows 10 (I keep deleting stuff in Windows) with old drives (5 - 8 years I guess?) that keep on chugging... If it still works, why not...! Also now I wonder if my old CD/DVD backups are still good...

… cloud backup?
Honestly never heard of it. Sounds like putting copies of everything in the clouds, which. Like. Kinda sounds disastrous since it might mean we'll get data rain instead :b

Wow, 5 to 8 years. I dunno about my main hard drive, but my other hard drive was from at least 2011, and has been used for three computers that I know of (two Windows 7s, and my current one, until the hard drive failures).

lol yes! I hope the cloud doesn't start leaking again... My firewall can only take so much...
I don't know where they come up with these names, but the term cloud has been hijacked by computer terminology D: "Store it in the cloud", "back it up to the cloud"; is basically just online storage. Or you have various "cloud services", like Microsoft 365 apps (Word, Excel, etc) that you can access anywhere, without installing. Just need internet to access their online platform while they host the computing side. That's one reason so many services are now subscription based. Don't own the software... pay to keep accessing their services.
Same with some gaming with cloud services. Where you don't actually install games, but play remotely if internet is good enough. No need for a fancy setup, when you can have a cardboard box that has internet connection but can run fancy new games D: Again... don't get to own the software... So pros and cons...

Anyway, there should be some decent free services you can upload files to backup, if data usage is a factor. Just make sure to login every so often or it might delete your files from inactivity...! (Or can pay a premium.) For instance I signed up with the not-the-greatest file service 4shared, and like 10 years later they still have my files! Kinda impressive... (Do get a reminder every year about it going to be deleted, but then I login and all is well.)

And wow, your hard drives have seen some mileage too! I've tried to reduce the wear and tear on mine since it started making the occasional burp and clunk... Using things like a RAM drive and a little SSD system drive. The software based RAM drive is nice if you have enough RAM to spare. So you can install temporary things or download files without it hammering away at your drive's life. (Have to remember not to shutdown without copying anything I want to save though!)

confused on what you mean.

Cave Story occasionally attaches the chains to a block (more likely a different one from the usuals in between each other), it's a very clever trick especially since the chain looks stupid attached to the rocks. (you could adapt the tileset for it to have rocks around it to make it look more believeable but um, why?)

(Examples from an old mod and another more adequate example from cave story)

for some reason it fills me with pure happiness whenever i see a cave story and off reference. i honestly don't even think they're really amazing games anymore they just fill me with pure happiness

Yeah, I know that feeling! Cool to see someone else expressing this sentiment. It's probably out of sheer nostalgia, but you just sort of squeal with instant happiness when you see something related

How do I get embedded ORGs to play? Maybe my Firefox is too hardened.
No, wait. Some of them just seem to be empty. Is that supposed to be a thing?

To get it to work, put the URL to the file within the
Code: 
[ORG][/ORG]
tag, and it should work. Maybe some file hosting service URLs don't work, but I know that Discord file attachments work, that's what most people use. I'm assuming that you're asking your question from the standpoint of getting your own ORG embed to work. If your issue is that you're seeing other people's ORG embeds that they're posting, and they're not working, then maybe that is a problem with your browser. I'm using Brave (which is built on Chrome), and the ORG embeds are playing fine for me.

man the missile launcher sucks. it's supposed to be a weapon that you scarcely use because it has limited resources, but still want to use because it's powerful. the damn fireball you get right after you have the missile launcher deals more damage than it. i dare say it's worse than the bubbline!
IdioticBaka1824
IdioticBaka1824
I never thought about it that way before (probably because my hoarding instinct basically never let me use the missile launcher) but yeah, you're right. I wonder if there's a name for this sort of 'gameplay-plothole'. Also, I deeply respect you for coming up with fresh and original insight about Cave Story's gameplay after 18 years!

nah, it's not too awesome to use. that would be the case for the super missile launcher because it doesn't have a ton of ammo but deals tons of damage. the missile launcher's damage output is simply too bad to be too awesome to use.

i've been trying to get mother 2 deluxe but for some reason the earthbound patcher is complaining about a missing dll file even though it's already on my computer!

if it was a bad dll then the program would be complaining about the dll not doing its job

tried using coilsnake. maybe it was because i tried to have the patched rom in the same location as the real rom, but when i used lifeup alpha, it didn't display the animation that's exclusive to mother 2 deluxe.

You'd think there would be a file hash you can compare the rom to. That way you are pretty certain it worked properly.

Yep, they come a couple times a week. Just report them using the link on the bottom of their posts and DoubleThink/Andwhyisit will get to removing them.

Also you posted a local file path, as in the location of an image only on your computer. Have to upload an image somewhere else in order to link it.

'hm i wonder how long it's been since the last major evergreen update'

> december last year

'ah fuck'

...yeah, all i really have is the usual excuses - work's been taking up a lot of my energy and i can't wrangle my brain into being interested in modding at the moment, so even though i'm almost done with this next big update i haven't been making any progress and it's really frustrating!!! gah!!!

hum, i guess i did redraw caret's portraits recently, there's that...

they honestly look worse imo, but i do think they show more personality and identity.

Still looking forward to it :D Both look good to me. New ones are closer to anime standard? (Nice!) Also seems to mostly not meet your gaze leading to a different impression vs the old ones. Which have more of a piercing stare.
