First hot day of the year, and I'm hating it. AC is full of mold, so I'm dying here. Probably in more ways than one.

Fair enough, still totally has the San Diego vibe.

Way off, though? The two cities are like two hours apart.

lol. I also recommend the Mammoth Book of Murder and Sex Killers: A History of Sex Crime, if you want more light relaxing bedtime reading.

Yea I was hoping you'd get my satire. The cities are insanely similar, like Tokyo vs Yokohama.

Shoot, I didn’t get it :?

Don’t give up on me, though: I’ll do better next time

Newest W10 now resets all your default programs to M$'s. Haha. Keep pushing their shit as usual, without thinking of the end-user. Screw them.

Nah, actually quite easy. Bought GTAV on PC from a shop a few years back, and that came on seven discs.

I do that with documentaries. Good old Charlton Heston narrating for Secrets of War, World at War, or Hell in the Pacific are all good. Cheery stuff that somehow does not cause me nightmares and is still better than listening to the constant flood of self doubt and loathing coming from my mind....

Perhaps that PC physical media market isn't so niche after all.

So for about a year, I've been wondering whats slowly eating my disk space. About 1 GB per week was being used.

I took a look at C:\Windows\Temp, and theres 45.6 GBs in there. It was like discovering treasure. The program I used was WizTree and highly recommend it.

My \Temp is empty and I've never emptied it. Sounds like something is dumping there.

Yes that was the case. There was files from 2011 in there.

One more thing about GTA IV. Do any of you guys hate that Niko has a fake accent? I really wonder why they didn't go with a native speaker.

Listen to this guy for a minute or two. An authentic accent is a world of difference:

A 45GB Temp folder. :lol: What was in it?
My Temp folder rarely has anything in it for long and is gone before the computer is turned off. As that is the meaning of temporary.

Niko's vernacular doesn't bother me.

Fuck I love that game, How I wish those Russians would to replace that shitty sound driver with one that doesn't stop the music whenever Larry says something.

I think it was mostly hibernation save-states. I definitely know the main reason it got so big was because disk cleanup wasn't cleaning that folder for some reason.

Anyways this computer only has about 9 months left before its too old. I hate being the only guy who has a triple-core processor.

Yes, I get it, it's a retro games forum, but variety is called for from time to time.

I wasn't being totally serious about him like that. In truth when he was at his best he brought some good discussion. When he was at his worst tho he really shit the bed a lot and thus I was forced to act for the betterment of the users of the forum.

Keep in mind the lords above have already made it clear he is trolling way too much. I'm pretty much the only thing between him and them that actually hasn't had his account totally wrecked forever. I hope he realizes that when/if he comes back.
