So I was going through some of my old D3 files and ran across this. It's the text file for Keg Party. For those unfamiliar, it's the "about file" where there are explanations and thank yous.
Enjoy. Hard to believe it's been 26 years. Some names here I'd forgotten. Great memories.. Cheers folks ...

Duper

Nice!! Quite a diversity of games. Would love to get back into D3 but it doesn't run well on my current rig. If I ever build a new on it will be a linux box so we'll see about that.

Duper

So while we're filling the quiet spaces between games with some version of Descent, What's your current main go to game? For those that HAVE time to play vid games any more.
at 60 something, I've picked up my guitar again and bought a PRS, an amp or two and a handful of pedals.

When I do play a ...

Duper

We've a load of these things around in Vancouver. I saw one that was pink with red flowers a few months back ... 0_o

Duper

Anyone doing anything with this?

Been out of the loop for a while. and yeah, new avatar.

Haven't been on discord for years.

Sup?

A never ending mission....

I think if you tried to train an AI to use the various editors, it would lock your keyboard and turn off it's monitor with frustration.

Duper

The Division 1 & 2. Mostly 2.

Occasionally Overload solo.. wrist doesnt like it.
Mostly been working on my guitar. Got a new PRS 24-08.

Duper

All kinds of Groovy!

Duper

What Warlock said. I got the steam version. I'm running a glide wrapper as running just the straight vid makes the textures look really primitive.
You will probably get no textures on the automap so disable bilinear filtering once in the game. That will fix that. I still have to re-choose my res ...

Hi All, Long time.

I've reinstalled D3 and got it running (finally) on my Win10.

Does anyone know where to grab the old mass driver mod that gave the ringlets slightly different colors?
I've lost most my files over the years. It's also been ages since I've been here. Glad to see plenty of folks ...

Duper

No, sorry MD. Scott's son only gave me a quick message on FB. I haven't been in touch the VON group in years.

Duper

It would have most likely been back in the Kali days. It's been probably a full decade since he's posted here.

Duper

To all you old timers out there and Lanners from the PNW.

Vulcan aka Scott Newkirk passed May 20, 2020 from liver disease. I knew Scott a long time and he was a good man.
The ol' codger and his conspiracy theories will be sorely missed.

I lanned with Vulcan and a number of you all up at Claymation ...

Duper

Cool, Thanks Krom!

Duper

Hey All!
Long time no see!

Hey, I'm getting a new SSD for the first time like 5+ years (a: Samsung SSD 860 EVO 1TB 2.5 Inch SATA III Internal)

Do the new SSD's, should the paging file still be moved to a different drive (platter drive) to prevent wearing or have they fixed that?

Thanks!

SYSTEM ...

soo.....Happy Birthday-ish DBB?

How about Star Wars Dark Forces:

Duper

Oh! Adam! Welcome back!

Duper

I couldn't agree more Grendel! o_0

Duper

I think that's subjective.
Overload plays well with M&K, but personally I'd like to use a stick. Right now, the demo doesn't like my stick (Saitek X52) so I'm using a M&K.
In the demo, the ship plays a bit more like mouse look than the lilting turn of the pyro of D1 and D2.

Duper

Can we get a link to their site/forums next to the title. (for consistencie's sake only)

No rush.

Duper

Please remember that the game is fantasy and not based on real science.
Puma is right, that is what the manual said, that is why I mentioned it.

Neither of us are interested in interested in rehashing an argument that's over 15 years old. So really, the squid needs to visit another forum somewhere ...

Duper

energy centers were for robots originally and any other equipment that needed recharging. Energy consumption is a balancing element.
If the robots last long enough that they WOULD need recharging, I recommend target practice before entering the mines again! :mrgreen:

So yeah, what Spidey said ...

Duper

well if everyone that dropped $25 could drop another 25 or 50, the thing would be funded.

Duper

Had problems with a stick. The longer I played the worse the response became. In fact, I couldn't even use it after about 10 minutes.The axis registry just kept getting wider and wider. ^_^

But, as I learned Descent with a KB and mouse, I just switched over. Wish I had the money to throw at them. :\

Duper

Personally, I'd like to see all 3 projects do well.
I've dropped off the DU thing because it becomes over load. I'll wait until it's out. :)

I think each will have its charm and flaws. Even the original had their issues; we've just gotten used to them. ;)

And to the "legal issue" mentioned by ...

Duper

I'll give them money, because I'm pretty much obligated to, but I honestly don't like the focus on keys->reactor->exit they're pushing for. Even my far younger self back in the late 90s began to tire of that after ten or so levels, and nowadays I don't know that I'd have the patience for a whole ...

Rustbucket rumble looks like fun.

ooo... read reviews. Seems there are huge problems with connectivity in multiplayer. :\

Mike Kulas and Matt Toschlog, founders of Descent developer Parallax Software, have joined forces again to create new game developer Revival Productions.

well, was over water. They could have just tossed him a rope. You can also modulate the power to the field so that he could be lowered. But good point!

Wireless Bungee jumping is here. (sort of)

LOL! That's Awesome Isaac!

Most of this is pretty common stuff. The meteor on the 31st was outside the orbit of the moon. granted at 600m, I wouldn't want it any closer. The one over Thailand was a common meteor. It probably wasn't that big and burned up in the atmosphere.

TC, at least space junk is trackable.

Duper

And here we go! Thanks Tamurel!

Open beta will start today!
Clik!

Also Sigma, that only happens when you're about to die and only last for a fraction of a second.

Duper

lol Isaac...

Anyone who puts a cardboard box over an open flame expecting it to go out has a few life lessons to learn.

Here's an appropriate Halloween animation by Mike Inel. He does some amazing fan animation.

Also note that each bot is assigned prerogative and behavior. some may chase. Some may remain in the same spot even when attacking or being attacked.
Mix that with what Lothar said and yeah, "bag-o-random".

Duper

LOL! Thanks Foil!

I was like... wow.. that's a leap of logic...
