Cataclysm: Metal Gear Solid

LazyCat · 2013-06-17T09:46:55.000Z

Explosions look worse, not because of distorted view, but because yours are #s and the others are well-made circular shapes with lines.
Look at the difference for yourself.

It doesn’t seem you’ve seen what were you supposed to see, this:

It slowed down and froze, and after a few seconds it closed itself (though the application remained on the bottom bar). I had to use Task Manager to close it.
I wasn’t doing anything too interesting, just walking by holding num-7 towards it.

Did that happen with some previous build after version 41, not before and not with the latest build 54?

Removed a stupid conversation about people trying to change other people’s tastes/justify their tastes. Been a significant source of conflict in the past, no reason to risk a repeat. Also removed a thinly veiled insult or two. -GlyphGryph

Removed a stupid conversation...

Your censorship is stupid.

GlyphGryph · 2013-06-18T03:46:24.000Z

Just a heads up: This thread is unlikely to see any action for the next week, as LazyCat has received a one week ban for insulting people and fighting in another thread.

Not, if people were wondering, for the one above, which was not seen until after he was banned. Heh.

If I could pull the music playing files I would be happy, cataclysm needs something in the background playing.

Lazycat should just make his own branch, at least that way he won’t have to put up with a bunch of arguing dicks who contribute nothing.

GlyphGryph · 2013-06-18T13:03:15.000Z

…this IS LazyCats branch. He did make his own. This thread has a link to it.

…what exactly are you talking about?

ClaytonRISING · 2013-06-18T13:24:58.000Z

Why is there a limit on how big I make my window size? I don’t like playing in the super small and wide view port it comes defaulted/maxed to.

Not as in a Github or source branch, but branching off from the mod just like cataclysmdda did IE - having its own forums, It would be much better that way, because most of the time all that goes on over here is arguing or DINGDONG BANNU.

I prefer LazyCats mod because he has the guts to make changes and deal with the fact that some people wont like them.

Making changes and ignoring complaints is fine. Hardly takes much in the way of guts when you’re putting nothing on the line to begin with, as here, but no matter. Making changes, lamenting the fact that no one likes them, and then arguing with and insulting anyone who answers you is simply stupid.

GlyphGryph · 2013-06-19T12:09:07.000Z

And that is enough of this conversation. And the least on-topic post was removed.

GlyphGryph · 2013-06-26T00:24:45.000Z

The owner of this thread has been permababanned due to repeated infractions. I will leave it open if people wish to discuss it, but don’t expect anything new to happen.

Rivet · 2013-06-26T02:44:03.000Z

I’m going to break my word and post in this thread once more in order to say that this conclusion is in no way surprising.

Also, thank you moderators, for doing what you do.

Morrigi · 2013-06-26T18:53:17.000Z

Welp, saw that coming. I support the moderators’ delayed action on this matter as patience of those with power is often sorely lacking on the internet, but some people just cross the line too many times.

TheRealTenman · 2013-07-08T11:35:18.000Z

I leave for a few weeks and this is what happens…Neat.

Board for MGS is here:

If anyone is wondering where it went, that is where it is now.

Rivet · 2013-07-22T08:19:34.000Z

Interestingly enough, the hatercat rages, “You shall not use any of my code in your game,” while making his branch from the DDA codebase.

Hypocrisy much?

GalenEvil · 2013-07-22T10:04:02.000Z

Removed a LazyCat post and banhammered the sockpuppet

youtoo · 2013-07-22T14:11:59.000Z

let him post a link to his variant of the game. If people want to play it go ahead. It looks like its pretty well done. It will keep him from spamming the rest of the forum. I don’t see a problem with him posting a link to his game. yes I saw all his stupid posts on kickstarter, but if you take in isolation, that he has a link to his variant, I think that is ok.

I think by constantly banning him your just making the situation worse. He clear has some anger issues to deal with. That being said he did work hard on his variant, so you might as well leave a link up so people can get to it. you might want to edit the first post and put the link there so people can find it.
Then sticky this thread to the top and call it ‘Metal Gear Solid Variant’. This way we can direct people who want to play his variant to his forums.

I dont see this as ‘feeding the troll’, I think by ignoring his variant, it feeds him because it makes him angry.

sometimes its best to be the reasonable adult in a situation like this to defuse it. I think stickying 1 thread and calling it a variant with a link to the variant is a reasonable accomodation. It also shows that we are the grown ups in this situation.

kevin.granade · 2013-07-22T15:26:01.000Z

I made a more complete answer on the “lazycat” thread, but just to summarize here too, we tried that, it didn’t work. As far as I can tell, nothing we have ever done has influenced his behavior in any way. Sure the content of the rants changes to whatever the latest imagined slight is, but he was just as abrasive when we were being friendly as when we were banning him.

GlyphGryph · 2013-07-22T16:00:05.000Z

Yeah, he had a static place to link to his thing. It didn’t stop him from spamming it in thread after thread. This may not be the BEST solution, but honestly it’s the thing that has worked most effectively so far.

Here’s his forum though:

If people really want to talk to LazyCat, do it there. If you want to talk about MGS mod, do it there. This thread is getting locked.
