The Computer Saga has come to a mostly victorious end. Here's the entire timeline of events following Crotch Fruit's post that played out over the course of a few daysUlillillia's Facebook posted:Yes! Success! I finally got the GPU out! My strategy was to use twine that I had for a completely unrelated purpose. I have this dolly that can turn into a cart, but it doesn't have a flat, stable platform. So, through having a piece of plywood laid on top, I can create that flat, stable platform, but it's not securely in place as is. The fix I have is to simply tie twine around it. His computer is gonna catch fire the second he tries to do terrain generation if it can reach a temperature that high at rest. zetamind2000 fucked around with this message at 05:26 on Jan 26, 2020 |

I wasn't gonna continue with Facebook stuff past that, I just wanted to complete the chain of posts that Crotch Fruit had been making. There really isn't anything new to report on and probably won't be for a long while. Now that his PC is up and running there will probably be some new Platform Masters because moving to Florida and getting an amazing PC were the mains things blocking that from happening. I'll definitely post new Platform Masters videos if they happen but yeah, there probably won't be many updates to this thread in the meantime. I don't think I mentioned this earlier but the guys that made the documentary will be releasing the raw footage sometime this year and I'm planning on making my own cut of the film that tries to fix the boring and bad parts of it. I'm a media arts college dropout so I can't guarantee a masterpiece but it'll probably be better than what we got. Hopefully the thread won't have fallen out of the forums entirely by then. If anyone's interested in some of the newer non-Facebook content the Ulillillia Archive on YouTube has plenty of stuff https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMJuS0T_JmY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igIEgZydqBM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IXiQMZ0ATA zetamind2000 fucked around with this message at 06:51 on Jan 26, 2020 |

First and foremost, this is largely and update in hopes of keeping this thread from dying. Is it wrong to discuss Uli? He used to have one or two websites detailing a lot of his life online, I believe those websites are now shutdown, although I assume a lot of the reason for that is likely due to cost of hosting. To that extent, I only post on here what he public ally posts on his Facebook. Sure, Facebook is controlled access and thus sorta locked down and private, but Uli will accept friend requests from literally anyone and so long as you don't act like an *Disclaimer* I chat with Nick on Facebook occasionally, he and I are now working the same job, Online Grocery at Walmart. It's nice to talk about how our stores are different yet still very much the same, like Saturday was crazy busy but Sunday was hilariously slow as soon as the game started. If I didn't know Uli's social status, I would consider him just another normal "boring" person. The Uli-puter is alive, Nick is trying to get a full dark scheme but Windows 10 is fighting back. This is deemed necessary for things like being able to work on the near black backgrounds of Carnivelista with eyes fully dilated in order to add more detail. The default options are of no use as Windows 10 simply doesn't allow as much customization in the setting of colors, Nick did manage to dive into the registry and find where a lot of the values for things like ActiveTileBars are stored and manually changed some of the values, but the context menus still remain a stark white. I've tried my best to answer his questions about Windows 10 and attempt try to resolve his color scheme issue, I'm more than happy to help test settings one of my spare PCs. Nick mentioned on Facebook that he does not have a router, just plugs one PC into his modem, so he has his new PC and also his old PC as a backup which I assume is just sitting unpowered doing nothing. This seems like a slightly unsafe idea, if anything the fact that his cellphone (I believe it's a smart phone of some kind) is always using wireless data while at home seems slightly limiting. I can see how some people might consider this like an obsession, but I simply see it as Uli really needs (wants) a fully dark color scheme in Windows 10, and Windows 10 sucks at providing it. Should we all just bow down and accept whatever settings Microsoft forces upon us, or is it legitimate to consider there are potential advantages to a dark color scheme? After looking into, I'm merely at a point where I feel the Windows 10 UI is a mess in part because some apps use an old GUI API and some use a new API. PC issus aside, I did mention I work the same job as UIi. Nick has made his employer and position publically know (on Facebook) so I don't believe disclosing that is an issue. TO MY KNOWLEDGE, THIS IS NOT PUBLIC ALLY AVAILABLE INFORMATION , I mention this primarily because I hope I'm doing the right thing. In chat, so possibly not public knowledge, Nick did mention that he feared backlash if he tried to like take charge of situations, he has abandoned his desires to seek a management position. In a way, I think the the fact that he just switched departments is likely to make him still be seen as the new guy for a long time. Sure he has worked for Walmart for years, but he is new to OGP, and OGP is extremely different than the rest of Walmart. Bottom line is I like Nick, I don't want to hurt Nick, I try my best to chat with him about work since he seems eager to find a friend, he asks me questions about work a bit. I think he just needs to be a little more aggressive at work instead of passive, specifically I told him how he can check his stats at work and he basically said that his manager didn't show him how so won't do it for fear of retaliation. But I know I have heard my own HR say they expect people in my department to be capable of working without immediate supervision. Maybe Uli is right, just do what the managers say and DO NOT try to exceed their expectations because if you mess up, they will throw you under the bus, but on the other hand, my manager is overworked and doesn't have time to fully train every employee and expects people to learn things on their own. Who is right, me or Nick? At the very least, Nick did mention that he got a couple hours of overtime each day last weekend and he likes the increased pay, OGP is a good department for workaholics. . . I have a family, I want to leave on time, Nick has nobody and wants to earn as much as possible to potentially have more money to enjoy hobbies on his days off. I'm not really sure where I'm going with this, if anything I think I am simply hoping to motivate more people to get on Facebook and actually talk to Uli to show him he has friends or followers.

I just want him to work and finish his game, to see his dream realized.  He is an interesting guy, for sure, but I don't really need to know about his private life. If he has disengaged from the internet to re-integrate into society and doesn't want weirdos following him anymore we should respect that.

Fartington Butts posted:Mr. Fruit. I think the Walmart might be owning you. Most of my coworkers are kinda cool people, a lot of high school drop outs or older retired people, but decent friendly people. One guy though was a real piece of work, lets call him Dude. Dude really wanted to be a manager, Dude was newer than me but one day put on a radio and just started trying to boss people around, if you second guessed Dude he would radio the real manager right in front of you and either get shut down or relay whatever the manager said. Eventually a couple even newer employees started just listening to Dude since it was easier than arguing. I had to work late one day, I was closing with Dude and 4 other people, it was a slow day already and we were way overstaffed. For the last 2 hours of my shift I was bored out of my mind, I was looking for things to do just to make time go by faster, I swept the hall, helped prep carts, finished the returns, just whatever I could find to work on to try to make time go by faster while Dude was sitting on his phone. Right before close we got a customer, 2 people started running to go get the customer, I clocked out on time. The next day, one guy said the order was kinda hosed and he stayed 10 minutes late, then my manager asked me what time I left and I told him everyone was goofing off and I left on time because I didn't want to just ride the clock any longer, at which point my manager laughed and said I did the right thing. Later Dude came up to me and got up in my face less than a foot away telling me everyone is expected to stay late when they close and people get write ups for what I did, and I just chuckled and told him everything I cleaned the last hour, another employee said "Dude, you were on your phone the last hour" and Dude just doubled down on "people can get in trouble for what you did" so I told him the manager already asked me exactly what happened. About a week later Dude got fired*, rumor is he was accidentally grabbing the girl's butts a lot, he was telling girls he was a manager (he wasn't) and could make them managers to, I saw him tell a girl "every happy marriage needs a side ho", and he supposedly was texting nudes to these girls. *Yesterday my department manager just out of the blue said "does anyone know what happened to Dude? Is he coming back?" I hate my job, but besides that one lousy coworker and the total lack of any future in the company, it could be worse. Dude was a piece of poo poo, but he got fired pretty quick too. Entorwellian posted:I just want him to work and finish his game, to see his dream realized.

Bringing back this thread to say that Uli has a new game that is supposed to come out this year! He is also out of a job due to a fear of seeing other people in masks, so he started a Patreon to fund it. Support our guy! https://www.patreon.com/ulillillia
