Ah, that's what you meant. 60C is pretty normal for a CPU temperature that is under load (that's around where mine sits, but I don't pay attention to that so I don't really know for sure).

I don't agree, partially anyway. The 8120 can be overclocked to achieve performance likened to the 8150. They might not need to be overclocked but they have some nice room to do so.

I was planning on getting an 8120 for that purpose, before I realised their roadmap had no more chips on the AM3+ socket. I'm not sure how much of that has changed, I haven't really taken much interest in hardware for a long time, actually.

But yeah, most likely a defective cooler. Might also be worth checking your airflow in your case, though.

I think he's talking about his CPU going from 27C to 60C. My mum was in Spain last week and it was almost reaching 50C, apparently. Fuck. That.

60C = 140F wtf. My cores run at 95F when they're stressed out, but I don't have a dedicated cooling system I guess. Also pretty sure that was a typo.

Wait, I lied. Those temps are in Celsius. Fuck I get to 95C when I play dota. I wish I could hook that up to my stove or something.

Just finished and submitted my game. finallyyyyyy. But totally missed it was robot day. oops.

No big deal, but now it is mixed in with the robot entries. Its funny to because my last submission was a robot day submission.

Anyway, what is everyone up too?

It didn't take 5 months like I expected. Congrats.

I'm wondering if I should start a new project. I have 2 that I can't do much with until I get art or level design, one I don't feel like doing. Need small game ideas, ones I can't turn into huge projects.

haha. Thanks.

Yeah that last part is the tough one. lone wolf ninja started as a small idea.
maybe development ideas of things you could use in tons of games.
like an explosion effect or something like that.

Or you looking for like a week or so game project that you can then submit?

More like I need to find something to do in my current projects instead of making a new one and getting swamped later.

oh i see. Take a vacation, its summer time! wait.... that probably isn't helping.

I want to start a new project, but with my internship i wont have enough time to do anything useful.

You need to update your sig.

thanks for the heads up, been waiting for this game.

I've noticed that most times the debug version of my game never runs above 32 fps (despite having a target nearly double that value) on my laptop yet when I have Chrome open, it magically runs at a constant 60 fps. Now I know why:

$5 says synthetic benchmark gains. Same as Samsung's Galaxy line smartphones overclocking when Geekbench is running (awesome side effect: rename game name to"Geekbench2" and you've just received a 5 fps gain, aka Intel turbo boost's unsafe alternative or what I like to call "Samsung Turbo spoofed", no root required)

Determined to finish my RPG now! (The delay has nothing to do with the reasons MSG predicted. It's just lack of time. :P)

Can anyone give suggestions for the RPG's music? I want to stick to CC recordings OK for commercial use and PD recordings (thus excluding the AP) this time. I'm considering:

-All Bach (from his suites, like the Chaconne from violin partita no 2, the sinfonia from keyboard partita no 2)
-Chopin (heavier works like the funeral march, nocturne op 48 no 1) and Prokofiev and Scriabin sonata movements
-All programmatic orchestral works (Mussorgsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Prokofiev, Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky...)

-One more: All from Beethoven sonatas and quartets. Just realised there's a plenty on Musopen. (My favourite spooky things! Op 26, Op 27 no 1...)

In a few days - I hope. I just beefed up the main quests and added a side quest. Now I just need to add a few more illustrations, add music and SFX, vary the flee and regen texts, and fancify the scrollbars.

So like a month or two. Lol. Thats how it was with me. I look forward to it tho. Gonna follow you so can check it out when you finish.

I feel like there may have been a question or two aimed at me at some point, but I had just gotten out of the hospital then and was pretty fucked up on Vicodin. Anyway, sorry.

So I've been watching Silicon Valley on HBOGo - I can't decide if it's more accurate or more embarrassing.

I was held back by a problem with audio download.

What happened, egg?

That was a check-up. They gave me narcotics because pain.
Was moving, crushed my hand with a steel frame while carrying it through the door. Shattered and twisted my pinky and broke my fourth finger.

yeah, it hurt. A lot.

Unlocked a medal in the haxe ngapi, which means I did something right in the encryption process. Not sure how to access the project preview debug panel when you test a game here.

Is it just me, or did they change something about the font in "New reply in \"The Flash 'Reg' Lounge\""?

Looks the same as always to me.

They definitely did bc "Pbot's daily picks" on the front page doesn't fit in its pod anymore. Maybe it's like twitter where they slowly roll out the changes, so not everyone sees it at the same time.

Looks like my motherboard overclocked it slightly for me.

So I saved a cat today. Found her laying on the ground choking to death on some crafting foam she accidentally inhaled.

Yep. Feeling good that I saved my girlfriend's kitty :D

Alright, I'm tired of this overheating problem. Time to go nuclear.

I'm just curious why you're making a HaXe version of the API? I used a the regular .swc file with a HaxeFlixel project not too long ago and the medals and the ad worked fine.

I assume something isn't working right? I only targeted flash and I only used medals and ads so I'm not sure what all could be wrong with it.
I came across it the other day on github and it had me curious.

I rarely post in the flash forums but I do visit it on a daily basis.

Besides being kinda fun and interesting, Mintpaw has constantly talked about how -swf-lib doesn't work on all platforms. I've never run into trouble, and I don't know of anyone else who has. The api docs say that certain things (ads mostly) are only available in flash, so that could be an issue the swc can't handle.

I see. A Haxe version would be nice to have. I'll try to make a contribution to it when I have time.
I believe BrenTheMan and PsychoGoldfish are working on a new chat when they're not working on the site, and Mike now works at the Behemoth, so it seems it could be a while before NG staff could lend a hand.

Their documentation on the server stuff and encryption is good, had to pm PG about one thing. Right now it's more of an issue of how the api will be organized. It could be like the flash api, or we could group things to be more organized. Like someone said, there's only 25 methods, so it's not the biggest deal if they aren't in pretty groups.

api.medals.unlockMedal() vs api.unlockMedal()
