Glad to know it is a name you weren't too sentimental over. Minion was trying to make it more of an official name, even including a custom console with the word STIPPER. I just see no reason for a custom console, plus it would be another file for users to install, when nobody should really be sitting at said console outside of trying to join the server.

Heh, that is very true indeed. I wish I could go insane with said feature. If you remember, monsters have always been one of the things I care about the most in games, and thus having unlimited variety here would lead to a lot of potential inspiration. I like what exists, but I really wish I could get a server with 500+ types of monsters. No matter how streamlined we got, however, that sort of variety just seems impossible. It was quite funny that the most recent mod I have tackled (which is so massive and complex that I haven't uploaded it yet due to it taking a while to focus on) actually had this issue, which led to having to make a lot of optimized code or removing of vanilla game features (in their case, opponents from the game, though it should be noted that said mod is also HIGHLY unstable on most levels). I have started to work on it (Ultimate Quake (Mod) if you are curious), but it will be a multiple day project to complete all the details, since there is so much going on. Main things I still need to add are the spell system (currently only the first two levels are fully included) and the Multiskin skins.

That is pretty much it. As I touch more mods, I come across random little details that could make things slightly better, or I just get some burst of inspiration that gives me an idea on how to fix a long-standing issue like heads eating ammunition. And yes, limitations are rough, even Ogre accuracy became quite the hassle to try to fit since it did require a bit more logic. Shrek and the Ogre are two totally separate entities, so changing one does not necessarily affect the other, but you are right in this case. Shrek is also more accurate, though still being forced to hit walls if you stand between a wall and it. I consider Shrek unleashing at walls to be a sort of strategic way to fight him, since he has a lot of health and also is explosive.

Distractions do make sense and I like the idea of having some sort of balancer. I mean, when you got Blazing Fiends able to hit you and kill you in a second, it is good to have some sort of strategic element. Especially since, yes, it is quite chaotic.

Yes, the main thing I can think of with your description is that it likely would cause issues with 100 Health rot. I have seen mods do some fancy things, but always with such weird issues occurring when mixing the two. Medikits are more stable, but far more of a frustrating system to work with. No, I prefer the idea of paralysis for the Spider if we are going the route of a more unique attack, since that doesn't inherently conflict with anything.

I guess that is understandable, though I would hope a therapist would understand the concept of a wall and thus try to work around it instead of resorting to tactics that any other individual could have done. What is the point of a therapist if they just end up behaving like people you could talk to online for free? But it does make sense, I am not an easy individual to understand, and thus it can lead to bad interpretations, though of course the implication alone leaves a nugget of doubt. But yes, why wouldn't an individual build up walls, when doing such is the only way to escape most individuals hurting me due to society loving to prey upon the fragile? This is always one concern of talking on the Wikia; it is open to be seen by anyone such as Minion who tends to look at every message we send. In his case, it isn't a bad thing, since he means well and I do not see an individual intentionally causing malice. Perhaps it can even aid him with understanding me and thus in turn lead to less harmful situations than some of the things we have been through. But, at the same time, I expect there to be the potential for there to be others who could use this information for more vindictive purposes. Maybe someone who just knows me as Deathstalker, comes here to read what I have to say, and then attack me. That means there are walls that must be kept up for very logical reasons indeed. Regardless, I also end up rambling a lot, which in turn reveals a lot more than I like having heard by others, such as the type mentioned. I do enjoy hearing your insight into manners, you tend to have more wisdom than other individuals.

Well, I appreciate hearing that. You definitely are some of the best company I have, though such is not hard with me when most view me as a retard or are otherwise malicious.

Ramble time with computer components, since you know I love talking about this stuff and love fixing what isn't broken:

So, in other news, I am continuing my plans for building up my computer once again. I plan on sticking with my M.2, primarily as I am too lazy to reinstall Windows if it isn't needed, though I definitely am aware of there being 4TB models now that I would jump to in the event I need to reinstall.

I have already gotten a better model USB hub than what was shown. The Anker 13 port was good, but has a frustrating button that can easily be bumped (say by my monitor's power supplies) that can in turn easily shut off anything I have attached to the hub. So I am swapping to an ACASIS 16 port model; the hubs are turned on and off by individual switches on the top that are far less likely to be bumped.

I also have decided on getting a Razer Chroma Pro; basically a macro gamepad. I decided that limiting myself keyboard-wise to what has the most macros is less practical than it used to be, especially with better switches being available such as the Cherry MX Speed. So the first real advancement before I swap around keyboards is to get a macro pad and see how I like it. My keyboard has 52 macro keys, which has made it hard to even consider other options, since they tend to hold around 6. The macro pad holds 320 plus a D-pad for additional keys, which means I finally will have more macro keys than the number of keys you can have on a conventional keyboard (and more than 6x what I currently have). Conveniently, I won't be losing a USB port since I just got a bigger USB hub. As for keyboards, I know the K95 platinum has Cherry Speed, but I need to look into my other options (including optical vs speed mechanical, need to compare attenuation there).

Intel vs AMD, most people are adamant about AMD being the best around. Due to my preference of legacy gaming and thus severe reliance on single-thread performance, however, I still find that Intel holds an advantage with the 9900K I currently have. Waiting for the next gen in early 2020, likely will be getting the 10-core with 5.2GHZ boost 10990k (currently on a 5.0GHZ on 8 cores), if all rumors are indeed true. This time around I plan to delid, I also will use Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut. Currently I have been using Kryonaut, which is the best for normal pastes, but with delidding I could try using liquid metal for better cooling. Ideally I will get 5.2GHZ on all cores, we shall see how possible that is.

The current case I have, the Cooler Master C700P, is rather good for cooling and hasn't destroyed itself like my last case. But the problem is that it also has a lot of weird design choices and screws; it is almost a nightmare to disassemble things. So I am jumping to the Asus ROG Strix Helios GX601. Even more luxury case; it pretty much has the best cooling potential on the market for both GPU and CPU (pretty much a first, you always were sacrificing one for the other before) while potentially being better to work with. The main thing I am aware of is that I want to remove the front panel for better cooling, the front panel really inhibits things with this case.

Also eyeballing the Le Grand Macho RT for cooling instead of reusing my Noctua NH-D15. Not only is the performance overall better in every way and has less loose parts while also allowing much more overhead, but it would allow me to give the cooler to my father, who has been avoiding using better CPUs that he needs for a lot of rendering due to not having a cooler.

Motherboard likely will be an Asus Extreme again, but a lot will depend on specs. If RAM doesn't increase in size, I likely will boost the speed from 3600 to 4133MHZ, granted nothing comes out better in the meantime. Expecting this will take until at least the summer, since Asus Extreme boards are usually slow to come out.

Nvidia mostly is a case of waiting for the next generation, which will hopefully increase enough that I can finally jump to 4k on a pair of Acer Nitro XV273Ks. It has been a plan to jump to 4k for a while now, but no generation of video card has been powerful enough for it to be fully worth it yet. I have learned from this generation to wait longer for a Titan, the 2080TI was seemingly the best for a while and assumed to be the new Titan before a Titan was revealed.

So, all told, I am mostly upgrading internals outside of my power supply and M.2s as long as things go as scheduled in 2020. Peripherals will mostly be the same outside of the keyboard, I am quick to update them since it offers no risk and no real work in comparison to internals. Razer has released better sensor mice, but not on a recharging system, and I don't want to go back to charging mice. The Brio webcam has been uncontested for several years now, no other 4k models out there. Microphone works and doesn't need to go too fancy, since you start getting worse reception on higher end due to not having a radio voice.

As usual, I am ambitious for updating and pretty much have plans to upgrade parts into 2020, making it a lot more involved than this year (which didn't have much after the upgrades last year).
