You have to admit that even though Microsoft can't make anything good anymore, WMP was pretty good.
Jack PapelTeam04:40
Windows Media Player was definitely top tier
Actually, I'm pretty sure new devices still have it
I'll have to check but my up-to-date laptop has it installed I think
The real shining star was windows movie maker though
gudenau04:41
I'm using it right now to rip a bunch of disks.
Jack PapelTeam04:41
I didn't even know it could do that
For anything more complicated than watching videos I'd use VLC
Btw VLC has some not-so-great design
Idk who let that through the design pass tbh
gudenau04:43
You can't rip multiple songs with it.
WMP: - Rip automatically - Eject when done
Jack PapelTeam04:44
Oh that's nice
gudenau04:44
And it works in parallel if you don't put them both in at the same time.
Jack PapelTeam04:45
Man, I miss having disk drives. They were never any use to me but I still miss em
gudenau04:45
It's simple, it's intuitive and it just works.
I'd have three if I didn't have that GCN thing.
gudenau04:54
Hmm.
There is an unfortunate bug.
The first CD won't refresh and start ripping until the second one is ejected.
Jack PapelTeam04:55
Literally unplayable
gudenau04:57
Oh, I have to click in the UI not wait.
That's just jank.
I'm going to blame Windows 10.
I have to click when the other job is finished.
gudenau05:13
.....
I think I'm getting rate limited by the metadata server.

This is the Lego Rock Raiders CD, I don't think the album it thinks it is even existed when LRR came out.
cr24Team05:29
yoo
lego rock raiders?
the best lego cd rom game ever
gudenau05:32
Yeah I have Alpha Team too.
cr24Team05:32
i still have racers 1 & 2 and legoland somewhere
legoland was also one of the best
gudenau05:32
I think I have Racers somewhere.
I need to get a wheel for racing games.
cr24Team05:33
lol I wonder if you could get a wheel working on lego racers
gudenau05:33
That chunk is done.
gudenau05:33
Replying tocr24lol I wonder if you could get a wheel working on lego racers
That's how I used to play IIRC.
Honestly the one LMG just showed off looks decent and it's not super expensive.
cr24Team05:35
wild
gudenau05:35
Hrm?
You know, I bet you can run that on a phone and use the accelerometer.
Jerakl06:00
Replying tocr24lol I wonder if you could get a wheel working on lego racers
I could perhaps
inform you
if it's on pc that is
(because I have a wheel)
I had a friend get a wheel that wasn't supported on fh3 get it working
better idea
racing wheel Garfield kart

Is one of you guys a good mod maker? I want to let somebody makena mod paid
Jack PapelTeam18:08
What is it and for how much?
cheemspuff21:05
I see the devs are people of culture from the old Reddit link
nailuj21:10
@CDAGaming java 17 was yesterday
CDAGamingTeam21:11
It would have sounded confusing if I put Today/yesterday
nailuj21:12
Replying toJack PapelWhat is it and for how much?
He left
Jack PapelTeam21:12
Thanks, yeah he sent me a dm about it
I declined though
nailuj21:12
How much was he offering
Jack PapelTeam21:13
He asked what my price was
AzzyypaarasTeam21:13
Jack PapelTeam21:13
We didn't get far enough for us to discuss prices much though
nailuj21:14
Replying toJack PapelWe didn't get far enough for us to discuss prices much though
Why didn't you accept?
Jack PapelTeam21:15
The mod seemed pretty simple to make, but he wanted it for forge, which I've never developed for. Also I'm pretty sure what he wanted already exists tbh
Wanted a mod that lit up a player like a spectral arrow client side when doing a command in chat. Like tracers but without the tracers, as he described it
nailuj21:16
- goes to discord server for fabric mod - asks for a forge mod
kalucky0Team21:17
That's basically the same thing, right? I'm pretty sure it's the same thing
Jack PapelTeam21:18
I'm pretty sure Impact client already has something like that anyway
Sounds too simple to not exist already
CDAGamingTeam21:20
I can confirm that exists already
AzzyypaarasTeam21:50
@gudenau what linux does to a mf
gudenau21:50
I don't get it.
kalucky0Team21:51
Missing glyphs
gudenau21:51
I mean that is obvious, but I don't understand Azzy's comment.
