He will be back. He just needs to go and calm down for a while.
And when he comes back, will you please apologize to him (where "you" refers not just to Sredni Vahstar but also to a few others)?
And, Kexruct will try not to get so upset, and you guys will try not to upset him. (If you're reading this, Kexruct, I think it would be good if you apologized to whoever it were as well; and set all this in the past.)
I don't care which people/person did what or started what, just stop it; or time out for all of you. I'm no mod, but I think it would be best if this forum was friendly and cordial; and people did not overreact; did not provoke or rise to provocation.
Honestly, I don't see any reason to. He was being petulant and holier-than-thou and refused to let go of a rather silly semantic line of argument. Granted, I should have let it go myself, but that does not excuse him.

ya i have no idea what went on here, but Kexruct has a bad habit of being exactly like that. and he's a lovely little dude and i understand completely because i was the same when i was younger, and it's real frustrating to let shit like that go, but man... you just have to learn to chill out and let go of things. it ain't worth getting mad over.
and really it sucks but one of the only ways to stop people getting like that is to point it out to them. the message gets through. they get a bit of self awareness over the years. it is, i'm afraid, part of becoming A Good Person* to get mad and realise youre wrong

One of the sadder things about Windows is that many of its more unintuitive aspects are constrained by backwards compatibility requirements
Like, Microsoft could add the ability to type accents with Alt+E, but if they did so they'd risk breaking that program from 1999 that binds Alt+E to some other function
Apple definitely has an advantage with such things, since OS X was a completely new* operating system (10 years ago, at least) they got to define the rules from the very beginning.
* Yes, I know it was based on NeXTSTEP. That's beside the point.

Well, I like old backwards compatibility and I think convenience is overrated.
You people are all spoiled, what with your computers that only make you wait ten seconds before opening a new page; and your stupid 60 second bootups for games (really, four minutes is darn fast for a game to start, it takes time to load).
You have a computer, and you complain that it crashes. Stupid. You have a computer that crashes so infrequently that you aren't used to it.
You want everything all easy-like and obvious; all "I can't figure out how to get through the game, I'll get a walkthrough"; and all "I don't feel like paying for music, I'm just gonna get it for free." and your stupid all crap about "Oh, Windows Vista/7 is sooooooooo old! I need a new computer".
Or your "I don't want to be creative and get out my three boxes of adapters and splitters so I can connect my keyboard to the computer; waaaaaaa waaaaaaaaa I want a universal plug because I'm too lazy to be creative and solve problems".
Or your "computers should be silent and not make that noise". How can you tell if a computer is on if it's not making noise.
Well, I'll just play Age of Empires Two and pretend I can do the stuff you do in Crusader Kings II.
And, instead of being able to play as Harold Godwinson or Harald Hardrada; I'll be stuck with having to play on the side of William the Soapy and lose.

I actually like my computers to make a little bit of noise, honestly

On the other hand, Macs can't play computer games from the year 2000 without running a VM or something
But, by the same token, many later Apple models are built to make emulating those sorts of systems pretty easy, so it's more difficult on paper than in practice...

the Soapy?
also, playing as well-known historical figures isn't the fun part. The fun part is playing as some obscure count and clawing your way to emperorhood. That's the fun part.
I remember when I had a Primogeniture-Succession Holy Roman Empire ruled by the de Geneves. That was fun.
IHNMAIMS was only $3. Dark Souls's lowest price right now is around $19. November feels like it's going to be a spending month, so I shouldn't get too impulsive.

You made Kexruct feel unwelcome here.
Well, I hope you find a place that's right for you, Kexruct, wherever it may be.
Too soon!
William Longespee only died 787 years ago!
Not cool, Ludmila. Not cool.

There will be, I hope, apologies all around; with all trying to do better in the future; and no hard feelings for anybody.
How do you do that e with the line on top of it?
Have I mentioned I'm a Linux user?
No, Alt-2-2-2-3 is ß
whast is a heap but a miserable pile of trash
anyway, I am playing Crusader Kings 2 for the first time in a while. Italy!
