General Software Discussion / Re: Cyberfox / Firefox updated to 41.0x
« on: September 23, 2015, 11:10 AM »
In Firefox I get the installer and run it rather than using the updater.  The Mozilla page has that installer stub.  I prefer the whole installer.

you can still get the full installer from Mozilla's site, you can also check out the "What’s New" link from the download page.

Screenshot Captor / Re: How to fix save directory?
« on: September 15, 2015, 09:50 PM »
there are two places where you can set your default save folder, maybe you can change the save folders in either of the options?

1. Options > The Basics > Saving and Loading Files > Where to Save Screenshot Files.
2. Advanced Tweaking > My Favorites > Favorite directories > Startup directory.

It's so simple!

I mostly just use ImgBurn when I need to create or burn a disc image, but what do you use if you want to burn MP3s to an Audio CD?

ImgBurn can burn audio CDs too, just follow this guide or you can use Burrrn.

initially...

I'm going to hold off purchasing for now, because it still has a long way to go, and needs some major optimization to run smoothly, etc., but I'll definitely keep my eye on it for future updates and see if they ever deliver on a finished product. Too many Early Access games that show some promise end up either giving up before it's finished (and releasing a beta as a final 1.0 release) or completely changing the game from what was promised, disappointing those who bought in early.

after some game time (and a great wall o' text)... :)

I like the game. And considering how many hours of entertainment I've gotten out of it already, I think it's probably worth the cost.

a few minutes ago, this popped up in my Steam timeline... ;) :Thmbsup:

The mobile version looks fine on my Android. Great work, mouser!

thanks for the giveaways! 8)

And this is the reason I usually don't try them... unless I'm thinking of imminently purchasing, or the size is small.  Downloading a demo to the tune of multi-GB downloads just doesn't seem productive to me.

It's an initial 6GB download and like any online-only game, it's best to play with people you know rather than a bunch of strangers from the internet.

DC Gamer Club / Re: Play Guild Wars 2 for Free
« on: August 29, 2015, 08:40 PM »
Now the core Guild Wars 2 game (non-expansions) is free for everyone, permanently:

I bought GW2 when it was on sale earlier this year. It was interesting for a while, quite laid-back and casual, lets you explore the world at your own pace.

There is a chart here showing the difference between Free / Paid accounts: https://help.guildwa...com/entries/95982157

Note: All current accounts will receive the "Royal Guard" outfit.

64
But I'll definitely give it a try during the free weekend and see what I think.

@lanux thanks for posting this! I probably would have missed it.

yw, that was my intention. :up:

65
I take it you're recommending it?  Why?  What do you like about it?  Just curious... I've been thinking, but it's priced too high right now for me to take a chance on it with the limited things I've seen.

This game gets mentioned a lot and is consistently on the top sellers' list on Steam. Among the praises are "attentive devs" and "survival world done right". Btw, I don't own this game yet but this free weekend seemed like a good time to give it a try. So after about an hour during this free weekend promo, it certainly has piqued my interest, whether I continue or not is another thing though.

We want the player community's help to 'evolve' ARK into the dinosaur world game that we've been dreaming about since the days we played with plastic green T-Rex toys during elementary school recess, since we shed a tear to 'The Land Before Time', since we wistfully imagined the towering cities of 'Dinotopia', and since we nearly choked on our popcorn to the thrills of 'Jurassic Park'.

General Software Discussion / Re: Chrome Cleanup Tool
« on: August 19, 2015, 11:12 PM »
I have.  It does exactly what it says.  Which is more than you probably think it does.  It basically returns Chrome to the just installed state.  Everything.  Including profiles, bookmarks... everything.  I thought it was just to remove bad things.  But it removes EVERYTHING.  Can you tell I was a bit pissed when I used it?

so one can assume that this app is just like if one manually uninstalls and reinstall the browser. thanks wraith808, your reply has saved me a lot of trouble!  :up:

Is less memory better for your system? Techspot tries to find out.

Found Deals and Discounts / Re: Ultimate Zip 7.0 [free]
« on: August 17, 2015, 09:01 PM »
I've also been using Bandizip - not bad at all. What I really miss though are commandline parameters.
Seems like the situation is not likely to change anytime soon:

you may try PeaZip as an alternative, its command-line part seems substantial.

General Software Discussion / Re: Irfanview releases 64 bit Version
« on: August 12, 2015, 09:01 PM »
So, what does the 64bit release bring to the table?

Advantages of IrfanView 64-bit over 32-bit version:

• It can load VERY large files/images (image RAM size over 1.3 GB, for special users)
• Faster for very large images (25+ Megapixels, loading or image operations)
• Runs only on a 64-bit Windows (Vista, Win7, Win8, Win10)

Advantages of IrfanView 32-bit over 64-bit version:

• Runs on a 32-bit and 64-bit Windows
• Loads all files/images for normal needs (max. RAM size is about 1.3 GB)
• Needs less disc space
• All PlugIns will work: not all PlugIns are ported (yet) to 64-bit (like OCR) and some 32-bit PlugIns must be still used in the 64-bit version, some with limitations (see the "Plugins32" folder)
• The Unicode and many Adobe 8BF PlugIns can't work on 64-bit
• The TWAIN drivers with 64-bit support are rare

(see attachment in previous post)
Note: some of the apps i'm using i'm just using because i'm too lazy to move to something better, so don't take my choices as my recommendations for best tools.

mouser, how do you do that in SC? I tried expanding the canvas but the text got cut-off.
