Seriously, man? Is that all you've got is a lame retort about a typo I made in regards to cdrdao (I'll bet you already knew that Xak III has several typos, so you should be pretty familiar with them)?
Well, the art of demoralizing the enemy commands me to bring that up. It is rather amusing, after all. You switch back to CDRWIN midway the first time you did it (fine, nobody would bring it up if it was just that), then in the next post, you find two more references where you're back to trashing CDRDAO, your beloved open source burning software. I couldn't help but chuckle at that. Forgive me. I mean, you're the, "just say it how it is" guy and apparently fail to live up to that motto repeatedly when you're in a crunch.
You can dismiss it all you like and act like it didn't bother you, but I think it makes you look rather stupid and schizophrenic. One has to wonder how you can so blatantly miss that over and over. I certainly would've ceded your point about it as a typo not worthy of the distraction I took with it, if not for you repeatedly doing it.
And quit putting words in my mouth, kid. Let me make something completely clear. I don't expect anything from you, and don't feel like you own me anything. Don't try to turn it into the issue here, because I've never implied such a thing. Everything I said "about you" can be summed up into less than a sentence.
OK, "kid." Good one, there. I love this, you're certainly one to talk about "lame retorts." Heh. Um, but yeah, nobody put words in your mouth. I made inferences based on what you originally said and I think I'm right about that. Correct, I don't feel I owe you anything and never felt that I did, obviously. You're trash that needs to be stepped on as far as I'm concerned. That's clear enough. The argument is seemingly more about your high expectations and me not meeting them, but I'm glad you seem to be backing off from that.
"Eh, you're actually the first for Linux and will probably be the last. The demand just hasn't been there to motivate me to really care about non-Windows platforms. "
Compared to what I said:
"...because NightWolve has no interest in using open source/cross platform software that works to its *full potential*. "
So? What am I making up here? Didn't you say it yourself?
Well, this is the problem. There's lack of context and no credit for what I had done up to that point. You say, "has no interest in using open source/cross platform software" which portrays me as just that, in the general sense. Had I not entered this topic and said so, nobody would know that I had once included Linux and MacOS-X binaries, as well as what I said in the ReadMe, which refutes your claim of "has no interest in using open source/cross platform software."
Also, included in the patch contents are binaries for Linux & MacOS-X.
Run those binaries on the command line & follow what's in patch.bat to
figure out how to apply the patch(should be a no-brainer) if patching
on those platforms.. I can't test them, but i've included them to reach
out to more gamer's platforms .. While CDRWIN doesn't exist for these
platforms, there may be other CDRW programs that are compatible with
the bin/cue standard. Good luck!
So, how is it that I have no interest in using open source/cross platform software, when the PPF patching system itself I'm using IS open source/cross platform software?
I may have had no interest in going further with switching to CDRDAO, which is what you wanted me to do back in that RIGG thread, but there's a difference when you just make a blanket statement about me like that and refuse to acknowledge or credit me for having made the attempt with how far I did go.
Again, lemme set this up for the audience. It's like this:
Fact: I included Linux and MacOS-X binaries with my Xak III patch for ~1-2 years.
Fact: PPF is open source/cross platform software.
Fact: Douche bag here known as "zborgerd" who's apparently the resident expert on yours truly, says the following, "NightWolve has no interest in using open source/cross platform software."
Fact: Again, PPF is open source/cross platform software, negating his above claim.
Simple question to the audience: How can zborgerd's statement of "NightWolve has
no interest in using open source/cross platform software" be a true statement when PPF is ITSELF open source/cross platform software which is, in fact, what I'm using???
Very simple. Can anyone tell me how his claim there can be true??
This is what's happening. He's essentially attacking me for not using an open source burning software like CDRDAO by claiming I have no interest in using open source/cross platform software in the general sense. So it appears to the reader I'm against all open source/cross platform software when in fact PPF itself is open source/cross platform software. His general attack does not give me credit for that fact, and you wouldn't have known it had I not entered this thread. That's my issue right there in a nutshell. I know that's all redundant, but it appears he doesn't acknowledge this so I went into repetitious detail to clearly explain that.
Nothing more to say here. All I did was quote you, more or less, and comment on Cdrwin (which is still broken, by the way). I can't help it you get your little panties in a bunch and take it personally. I don't portray you as anything. *You* have portrayed yourself exactly in the manner described here.
Wrong, you have falsely and negatively portrayed me as I've repeatedly demonstrated and as long as you continue to open your Goddamned mouth, I will be right here to correct your distortions. Yeah, little ole humble me. Now, I made an effort, it wasn't a great effort, but it was an effort nonetheless to have once included those other binaries because I had recognized the potential for use. I'm sorry I didn't go far enough for your ass with CDRDAO, but I already told you why that wasn't something I would pursue. If only one person asks you for this, it's not something you're gonna pursue, especially after 3 years when the project was mostly long forgotten and you're busy with other things. Can you try to meet me halfway and possibly understand that, or do you wanna continue being a spiteful a-hole and completely ignore what it is that I'm telling you?
And, frankly, I honestly don't give a shit. You can use whatever you want with your project. I was simply telling someone else that what they were doing was not wrong at all, and that Cdrwin was problematic and its BIN/CUE files are turning up in all sorts of weird sizes (not to mention broken crippleware).
OK, now you don't give a shit. That's good. Oh, and I have your permission to use whatever I want in my own project? Wow thanks, that's certainly generous of you. See guys, I told you he can be a swell guy after all! Oh, and no, what you were doing in actuality was simply being an asshat trashing my choice in CDRWIN because of Windows this/that. I say it was purely motivated by a pro-Linux, anti-MS Windows mindset. How DARE you be forced by NightWolve, that a$$hole with the Reagan avatar, into resorting to having to use a Windows machine back when you did. OH NOOOOES! ANYTHING BUT THAT!!!! FIRST TIME IN FOUR YEARS DAMMIT ALL BECAUSE OF HIM!!!
I don't really have anything else to say to you. You seem only interested in keeping a conversation going in circles, completely unrelated to the topic at hand, in spite of the fact that I've produced evidence that contradicts what you say.
The "evidence" you brought up contradicts your statements about me simply having had no interest in cross platform solutions.
So, keep trying to turn this around again and again if you like. You'll not get anywhere. You've done a noble job of trying to pull a response out of your ass, but have effectively made yourself look foolish because I've trumped every comment you've made so far on this issue (note the link in my first reponse, which knocks down all claims you made to me initially). I'll bet it just burns you up and pisses you off that you can see how you've so blatantly contradicted yourself (not to mention your claims that I never once contacted you about the cdrwin problems) and had that link thrown back at you, and now you don't know what to do. Why try to take it any further? You'll just get burned and make yourself look silly. I'm not really interested in "discussing" anything with you anymore, and frankly - talking with you is a waste of my time.
I didn't turn around anything and if that's what "trumping every comment" I've made looks like so far, you've got a lot of work ahead.
I didn't know who you were, so obviously I'm not going to say you didn't contact me when you eff'ing did. I'll give you that.
I wasn't pissed off at the link supposedly contradicting me. I was more pissed off or rather disappointed that given that was you in that thread, you would simply dismiss my effort in having included that Linux binary and continue to say here that I had no interest in using open source/cross platform software, just because of the burning software issue. Also, to not bother understanding my position at the time. I said it to you as nicely as I could and you said you could get access to a PC anyway, so I thought that was the end of that. Little did I know since that thread you kept a grudge. While the odds of running into you again is very interesting, finding you to be a worthless a-hole wholefully undeserving of my help at that time is somehow not at all surprising. My profile of the typical Linux zealot has yet to fail me.
Actually, I said,
"maybe you could've emailed me," etc. which is hardly equatable to your paraphrasing of
"(not to mention your claims that I never once contacted you about the cdrwin problems)." I did not know who you were nor remember, so I could not forcefully claim one way or the other that you never contacted me. You don't see me saying that you didn't contact me now, do you? No, because I remember the thread in question and the nicknames match.
There's a difference between an assumption/guess and an authoritative claim. I didn't remember you contacting me in that thread, so I made an assumption/guess that you never did cause I figured I would've remembered someone like you. I tried to recall somebody telling me in an email or a post that I have no interest in open source/cross platform software, giving me all sorts of shit about it, and I couldn't... You didn't tell me that, along with sharing your angst, to my face, did you? Oh no, I find you here doing it behind my back and inaccurately so.
At another point, I was thinking about rephrasing my initial challenge to your first comments by asking you point blank at the onset, whether or not we had crossed paths before because it did feel like there was something personal that you had directed against me. But in that case, it was based on my other incorrect guess in that I thought perhaps you were somebody I flamed in the past, so I had considered the possibility that you might bring up a flaming incident I had perpetrated against you. Typically, I refer to such enemies that I've collected over the years as, "another satisfied customer." I guess you qualify as that
now, don't you... Sorry, I couldn't resist adding these last few lines, as I've always gotten a little chuckle with giving new meaning to "satisfaction guaranteed" when dealing with your type. I try, what can I say? I'm a people person.
So, you like opensource. Good for you. Want a cookie?
Uh, in your rush to respond, I think you're having another one of those, you know, "I just say it how it is" moments. You're the one that likes open source solutions/software like Linux, CDRDAO, etc. right? Just so the audience doesn't get confused.
Was your failed retort meant to start out with something like, "So, you like closedsource and Winblows? Good for you!" or something to that effect?? Well, you can correct that in that next response. It needs some work to have some real insult factor to it overall anyhow. It's embarrassing as it stands right now.
Now go back and tell me that what is posted in that link is not what you said back in May. I'm not making shit up, no matter what delusional way you want to look at it - or no matter what sorts of wild accusations you want to claim I've made about your character.
Um, I have NOT denied ANYTHING in that thread, idiot! Delusional way of looking at it? Did you miss my point entirely?
I believe that Ronnie had a similar dementia of sorts...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alzheimer's_disease
Ah, yeah, I saw your little comment about Reagan in some other thread. I predicted you would find a way to inject politics into this eventually. I just had a sneaking suspicion your angst against me had also something to do with my politics, but it was just an assumption until now. That's why I liked having Ronnie there in my avatar. It just drives the nutty liberals absolutely crazzzzy, I say. Crazzzy. Heh. Anyway, it is funny that you chose to go this route in your flaming considering your schizophrenic swaps of CDRDAO and CDRWIN.
