    Looks like there's thunderstorms about.

    Did you know Verdana signage was common in British train stations in 1947?

    In the '40s? They'd have used Franklin Gothic or Akzidenz if they went with a sans-serif. Or one like those two, anyway.

    ^ That fail is so epic, James Cameron could make a billion-dollar-movie with it.
  • Don't you mean Michael Bay?
  • Even better.

    That way it could have EXPLOOOOSIOOOONS.
  • I'm starting to think I like Akzidenz more than Helvetica.

    Odd.
  • Just looked up Akzidenz-Grotesk on Wikipedia.

    Oh, the memories that came flooding back from seeing it...

    I like Akzidenz, though anybody who's ever seen me on the original BTL has probably figured that out by now.

    Also the typeface choices in this game (Dark Fall: The Journal) seem to tend to fall into the "technically not anachronistic, but stylistically inappropriate for the intended era" category, which is weird because Jonathan Boakes' later games tend toward the opposite (technically anachronistic but stylistically appropriate).
  • Speaking of the original BtL, anyone else notice that it got locked?
  • The sadness will last forever.
    Ugh, I just woke up to take my happy pill.

    But I want to be asleep right now.

    "She said my being gay was pretty gay."

    Well...she's got your number there, I suppose.

    I saw that it got shut down as well.

    ...so I want to play with MyBB in XAMPP now.

    BTL is at http://nils.tilaa.org/btl/index.php now.

    Also, apparently Anne isn't gonna be on it anymore. In that case I'm kinda thinking that my presence would be redundant, considering that the only thing I really did on the old BTL was talk to her, more or less.
  • Yeah. I'm currently countertrolling.
  • The sadness will last forever.
    I don't get it, why so many are so obsessed with Japan? It's just another country.
  • Because weeaboos think it's better than everywhere else.
  • You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    I've been meaning to play with MyBB myself. Perhaps I should now that I have some free time.
  • MyBB is what BTL 2 is running, eh? I'll look into it.

    I'll probably prefer Vanilla though because Vanilla's got me wrapped around its finger.
  • Naw, they went with MyBB partly because apparently Vanilla is super glitchy or something.

    So with the switch to semesters my school is introducing an all-new semester catalog, in which every course is identified not by a three-digit number but a four-digit number.

    Which is really confusing to me somehow, because the four-digit numbers don't seem to follow the same progression as the 3-digit ones did.

    Glitchy? Weird.

    Penny Arcade uses it and they seem great with it over there. And we've only had a few bugs here.

    ^ That was what it was, but as time went by it turned into a community of its own, and one I still couldn't really find my place in.

    ^^ It started off as a site to discuss (read: criticize and/or mock) TVT and its (numerous) issues, but it's since mutated into a hangout site not unlike this one.

    I miss the old BTL. :(

    Ya, I liked the shade of red on its interface a lot better than the new one's.

    But TBH I actually had something to do with convincing Anne to make a new forum altogether.
  • You know, ignoring for a second how messed up the way it happened is, it's actually kind of beautiful that there's a little constellation of troper offshoots. The troposphere, as it were.

    ...anyway. So I thought I'd have to completely wipe this partition to install something, but it turns out indiscriminately deleting programs I wasn't using was more than sufficient.  Though it might've been a good idea to redo that anyway, but, you know, effort.

    But the important thing is I'm finally getting around to installing Mass Effect 1 after buying it in a sale a while ago. Maybe I'll get the others sometime, but I'm pretty sure I'd have to get a better computer to run those. :o YNTPT
  • Blimey, the forum's blue again

    What the fuck is this shit?

    Did the site go anti-matter or something?

    The Heap's birthday falls on the Ides of March.

    Ehhh, quitcherbitchin. I like the blue, it's friendlier than the turquoise.

    (Or just, y'know, use a phone. Mobile theme never changed.)

    Use a phone? Fuck that noise.

    I'd rather deal with this than deal with that.
