When was this? Even minecraft threads are de-facto sanctioned by the mods now so I'd say the current environment would be pretty receptive to you.

>>3539
Wait, hold up... was it an instant ban, or do you think a mod did it manually? It might have been the autoban acting up, it does that a lot. I got banned once for posting a "banned url" when my post didn't have a url in it for instance (?_?) see, Moot set the squelch on that thing to a mighty powerful setting when they were getting pounded by spam a couple of years ago and he hasn't bothered to reset it, or work out the glitches. Pretty sure no one actually reads ban appeals either.

If it was a mod ban, I have no idea. /tg/ always seemed like a friendly place but I never lurked much because I never had much to say there.

About a week and a half ago?
There was a splurge of cyberpunk-themed threads, people talking about good background music for games, settings, the new Syndicate game, so I started a thread and within an hour (I got some decent feedback, people liked the story and idea, no trolling or crap like that) and then refreshed the page feeling great with myself and blam. Banned.

I figure it was a mod-ban, because it specifically mentioned 'transhumanism isn't traditional games' I would have thought the story more cyberpunk, but I guess I got a mod who was sick of the whole cyberpunk vs transhumanism and THAT ISNT CYBERPUNK, X IS CYBERPUNK threads that come up now and then

Yea cosplay to me means a specific character so no reason to hate on someone going as, say, JC Denton or Anna Navarre...

Major problem with that, however, is that a good many cyberpunk costumes are going to end up with you just sighing loudly and telling people that yes, you are the guy from the Matrix by the end of the night. Any costume outside of 'the guy from Top Gun' for men or 'sexy [noun]' for women tends to get that reaction...

Strap some PVC piping to yourself and go as the interwebs.

Wear an Al Gore mask and the right people would actually get that.

This sorta started now, give it a head-start!

I already started, It's about machine learning.
For those who don't know, Arthur Samuel (1959) defined it as: Field of study that gives computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed.

Dammit, I'm already taking a full load at university and working, but I wanna take these AI & ML classes too! I just need more time. I need to quit my job...

So run it through a hydrogen/magnasgass separation rig, make a burnable fuel, and run it through a generator.

If they grow the wood then there is no net increase in co2.

It doesn't take long to grow trees.

That's not entirely true, as you turn the sunlight down, you do get less voltage, but you do have a diode that prevents backflow from the battery.

Either way, your electronics have to be able to handle a small range of voltages from 10 to 16 volts or so. This isn't so much a problem inherit in solar power systems as it is DC in general. Since the voltage you get out of a battery varies to start with, most electronics that are designed to work off 12 volt DC already can handle the variance.

Now, I haven't dealt with wind generators myself. Do they output DC or AC? If you're getting DC out of them, then really there shouldn't be an issue.

I did see a few in the store catalog where I got my solar panels. The marine wind generators all had automatic speed control built into them. They were also horribly expensive per watt in comparison.

I could have sworn they did this months ago. Unless this is a follow up? But yea, it's interesting.

Next on Fox News: cyberbrain sclerosis in rats.

The first Deus Ex was awesome. The second one was ok. I swear we've talked about this series more on this board...

I'm playing a mildly /cy/ related mmo/shooter called Global Agenda. It's free to play on steam..micro transactions to buy better leveling and items and paint, but everything you can buy, minus a few cosmetic items, are available in the game either as loot drops, with game currency, or as mission loot. It's a post apoc setting with mechs, rocket packs, a war against a megacorp, and now a invading army of self replicating robots. It looks like it started out pretty much core FPS, but they just released the second RPG sort of outdoor area with more quests and so on.

>>3455

I started playing that a little while ago but got sort of bored with it. It seemed a little grindy. Does it get better when you get to the higher levels?

>>3442
ass this is the cy movie thread
cy vg thread is here
http://www.megachan.net/cy/res/164.html

me: i think it's too easy to get lost on the way to your own flat right at the start in that game. may have had too many beers though.

colleague: the city is DEHR is rodocolos. People’s commute to work apparently involves climbing out of a third storey window in their flats because barely any of them even have front doors, shimmying halfway down a drain pipe to jump onto an air conditioning unit and into someone else’s house, through their property and exit through the ventilation system, cross the awnings above shops so you can jump into a low-hanging pipe to cross over the pointless wall-to-wall pile of rubbish blocking the street for no reason, nip into the sewers to circumvent random fencing that exists for no reason, and up into their offices via the maintenance tunnels.

Looks like they're adding advertisements to the loading screens.

From what I've read, they're also going to start replacing Eidos billboards in the city hubs with advertisements from real-world companies.

>>3418
I'm ok with that as long as it doesn't break the game because I have an ad-server blocking hosts file.
