Final Fantastic

I am somewhat worried about the framerate I've seen in these videos. Is the lackluster framerate shown in spots due to the increased load of recording?

I hate when things get over explained..

If you want to see why someone would like an RPG for combat, go play any of the Mario RPGs. They will make you wish all RPGs had even an ounce of the energy and fun that they have.

Writing in games typically sucks because people do not follow proper writing techniques.

Why I am so good with the ladies.

Don't make anymore stupid topics like this.

Problems with site loading properly

KA, my examples of RAM usage in Chrome is pretty specific to browsers, not all software. You can heavily optimize the web experience by using more RAM. That doesn't mean it will be the same for all types of software and that was never my argument anyway. Chrome uses more RAM for a reason. Photoshop using RAM is also for a reason (large image editing is heavy) but sucks in many ways anyway.

Also for game programming, you want to use as much RAM as you can to make things easy for you. In RM's case, you want to load up that whole database into RAM. Hitting the disk will chunk the computer.

This doesn't mean you should just suck up RAM because you can. And also a lot of programs that eat up RAM have memory leaks.


Anyway whatever, everyone should use Chrome, but Firefox is acceptable. IE9 is also looking to be decent and currently has a lot of graphical firepower behind it.

Don't use Safari.

Please do not use a strawman argument when it comes to updating Flash. Let's move on until you might want to try using a real argument.

Google Update does not install a Windows service. It hasn't for years. I distinctly remember telling you this a while back. It moved to tasks entirely years back.

You're right that you didn't mention Windows Updates. I misread where you said Windows services. My bad.


And why would you want it to use more RAM? Because it is modern PC software design and it works fantastic. You have a giant pool of resources you can use (RAM) to drastically improve the performance of your program. Did you ever wonder why Chrome is the absolute fastest browser? It uses that RAM to hold on to things that you might need. The V8 JavaScript also holds onto numerous code paths and compilations to speed up JS.

Disk is slow. RAM is really fast. You cannot deliver the same kind of performance by using the bare minimum resources to function. The web doesn't work like that.

Did you even read that topic on Mozilla? They aren't fucking updating Firefox. They are updating Google-specific pieces that Firefox is using.

The second topic I knew about. You got me on that one. It's also a huge benefit, though, because about 60% of attacks on Windows these days happen through Adobe software.

Where's the documentation on Google Update installing Windows Updates?



So what, performance is no longer an excuse for using resources that you otherwise wouldn't be? That doesn't make any sense at all. Today we have absolutely massive amounts of resources (RAM) that aren't being used and you want to keep it that way because it might make my browser faster.

Firefox and Opera do not have automatic updaters. They have update prompts.

Google Update does not install Windows, Firefox or Opera updates. I have never ever once heard about this nor has anyone complained about it except you just bringing it up right here. If you are making this claim, please post some links backing it up.

And about the RAM thing: you are trying to smokescreen what I actually said. Yes, the OS will use a swap file when it has to. But up until that point, you want to use as much RAM as you have. There is absolutely no reason NOT to use RAM.

Don't try to pull that bullshit about software being as heavy as it wants. We are in the day and age where we have more memory available than we REALLY need. I only have 4GB of RAM in this with a shit load of chrome tabs open. And I have more than 2GB free. That RAM is being WASTED right now.


And no, Firefox and Opera prompting you for an update is not the same thing as what Chrome is doing. You completely missed the point with it. Since Chrome will update WITHOUT USER INTERACTION, you can guarantee that after a few days, everyone will have the absolute latest. FF version is far far slower than that. There are plenty of statistics out there to back me up on this.

You also entirely sidestepped the security issues I mentioned, which is fine. It's just cherrypicking.

Firefox is such a joke these days. It is slow and clunky compared to Chrome and even IE9. You've never known the beauty of web browsing until you use Chrome on a regular basis. <3

As for RAM usage, Chrome using a lot of RAM is perfectly fine when you have a lot of RAM. PCs these days have a lot of RAM. There is no reason to not use RAM. If someone said "hey I have 2GB of RAM, Chrome is using 500MB of it and I only have 300MB left!" it doesn't matter. That 300MB is currently being wasted. The optimal function is to use ALL the RAM you have. You don't ever need extra RAM if you are not using it.

Chrome absolutely destroys any other browser when it comes to pure engineering due to it realizing PCs have a lot of computational and storage capacity with CPUs and RAM these days. Why not use it? Oh and if you do use it, you will have the fastest browser in the world. Increasing browser speed is always a high priority.

Also KingArthur, I wish I could punch you so hard for not wanting Chrome's auto updater. It is one of the absolute best things you can do for a browser these days. There are so many security issues that popup with browsers and bugs being fixed that you always always always want the latest browser. Oh and for the record, nobody has ever managed to compromise Chrome during the annual Pwn2Own hacking contests. IE, Safari, and Firefox always crumble during the contest, but Chrome hasn't.

When it comes to web technology adoption, it is always good for people to use the latest browser. Thanks to Chrome's auto-update mechanism, I can now be about 95% positive that people using Chrome can make use of the latest in web technologies. This is absolutely crucial for web development. I can now make a site that uses said awesome web technologies.

tl;dr, chrome is the best.


Oh and the site has never worked well with IE. IE8 tends to be acceptable, but that's about it.

Er what, menus worse? Where?
