I have HIV+ friends. I would have definitely hugged him. You can't get it by touching someone.

Priority One podcast just had a great episode discussing the armada system with lead designer Al "Captain Gecko" Rivera. They mentioned everything EXCEPT if the armada system would or wouldn't be faction specific. Part Two broadcast this Thursday!

How are we going to tier our fleets? Alpha Stonewall, Beta KDF & Beta ROM, Alpha Stonewall, Beta Fed aligned Rom/ Alpha KDF, Beta KDF aligned Rom, Alpha Stonewall, Beta KDF, Gamma Rom? B)

One of the devs posted that the Armadas will be faction specific so HNR will be kind out on its own for this one. We won't be creating any new fleets just to fill slots in the Armada, but instead will be looking for other fleets to join us.

Do we get to see Nick in his jock strap if we find it? Lol!

I would have hugged him. Though I am negative, I have lost 8 friends in my lifetime to HIV. I had to get over my fear really fast in the early 90's and it no longer scares me.

But still, I'm old school. I like my MP3's and lossless FLAC's

I'm ancient skool - i like my wavs :whistle:

the bear is mine! :woohoo:

I loved it. I love the progression system which is very similar to FF X and FF XIII. Every character can be every class. I was making my way to necromancer when the Beta ended I'll be resuming the journey when Open Beta Starts later this week.

It seems like the connection to the patch server is getting reset or the connection is timing out from what I can see in the logs. Ping the server and doing a traceroute also indicate from what I can tell an issue between their servers and Verizon FiOS here on the east coast, though I'm not a network expert. This is however, getting to be painfully close to being at work and I'm on vacation until Thursday. :)

What a brave man, I would have hugged him! :(

Hey again, Stonewallers!

It's been awhile..and i never thought i'd add to this age-old thread again. I'm still not sure how often i'll keep making more playlists like those I've shared prior, for even I have resorted to Spotify's sheer wealth of tunes lately to get my fix.

But still, I'm old school. I like my MP3's and lossless FLAC's to arrange into unique sets to share with people. So for this summer (at least for the Northern Hemisphere ;) ) I thought I'd share a set I made last year that provides an hour of chill island and reggae.

You can download "Risa Dub 2410" here: http://tinyurl.com/qy2a7sn

Just random dubs and instrumentals with occasional covers of some classics a la Pink Floyd and Radiohead to name a couple. Can be queued up as background music for parties or for chilling on Risa (as was the inspiration for it.) :)

As for the "Cascade" lists, I have #11 in the works. ;)

In any event, enjoy the summer and the music. See you at Pride this weekend!

A short but emotional video which demonstrates the stigma surrounding people who are HIV positive.

Watching it, I found myself wondering if I had passed him .. if I had saw his sign .. would I have touched him?

I think (and it's horrible to say) that I would of hesitated but I have no idea why I would hesitate.

I hope posting it doesn't upset anyone in our community who may be HIV positive, but if anybody is comfortable talking about it I'd love to hear your thoughts on any stigma that exists.

Mine stalled at the 'verifying' patch a couple of times, but it eventually loaded.

i lost my sh** at the Funky Trunks. :lol:

Yeah, it seems to be an issue with connecting to the updaters. Both Neverwinter and STO are doing the same thing. I cleared up my TSW issue though. :)

May be totally unrelated to this but some of us had extreme difficulties being able to log into STO without having to go to options and start in safe mode / run as administrator etc due to having a decent graphics card in our home machines. To permanently fix this in my case I had to go into the gameprefs.pref file and change the following files to my own screen resolution: (Edit: GamePrefs.pref is in live/localdata folder)

PrefEntry GfxSettings.FullScreenHeight 600

PrefEntry GfxSettings.FullScreenWidth 800

Leaving them like this was basically causing my graphics card to have a mini stroke as it couldnt deal with such a low resolution being asked of it. So swapping them to my native resolution:

PrefEntry GfxSettings.FullScreenHeight 1080

PrefEntry GfxSettings.FullScreenWidth 1920

Fixed everything for me and now STO is again good as gold and I dont need to do anything but enter password and click engage again. I think some updates must accidentally write these changes back into prefs file which causes us to have these issues. Note deleting the file and starting the game doesnt fix it automatically as the client writes the 800/600 values as its own default settings.

How do you like it?

Hmm, I'll give that a try. I tried uninstalling Neverwinter since I was having the same problem with that too and that didn't fix it. TSW finally patched. Gee, I go to Montreal for vacation and I lose STO while I'm away. :)

also happened to me a day ago.. I had to right click on the launcher and "run as administrator".

and it works now.. rather than being stuck on patching.

Yeah this just started yesterday. I was away for a week. Now STO and TSW hang. Could be a Verizon thing I suppose though I doubt it.
