Rigby shares about Sandheaver and people make wild accusations

[Le Chuck]

Looks like ol' Sandheaver took her proverbial ball and went home.  Should we have a service or moment of silence or something? 

At times like this I think the right thing to do is stay positive and remember the good times we had together. 

[Hoopz]

I haven't been on the forums the last couple of days. What happened?  X or Grey spout off again?

[Well Fed Games]

Is it bad that I don't remember who that is? 

[Hoopz]

Couple hundy posts. Wanted the "no front end" front end.  Chip on shoulder, at least initially.

I think I'm to blame actually, though I might be giving myself too much credit.

[404]

still cant understand why the delete account and posts option is enabled on this forum. It's a nightmare not only for valuable information that could be gone forever, it's also terrible from an SEO perspective. Figured this would have still been fresh in people's minds from the PBJ incident.

[Vigo]

Lately she started pissing on a couple of people's ideas because they were not the norm. Very ironic if you asked me.

Hrm...That spat on the "no front end" picked up on the 15th of the month of March. What time of the month is it right now?

[Le Chuck]

Well at least with PBJ there was none of this threatening to go bs, he just up and disappeared.  I'm not very impressed when somebody announces that they are going to get off the forums if [fill in the blank] doesn't change.  Still, she only threatened to delete her account for two months before finally getting around to it, others have carried on much longer.

Thread?  I am on tapatalk and too lazy to look it up.  Please, of course.

http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,132294.0.html - Saint went through and snipped out the bits that were not constructive but basically what had happened was I made a stupid joke, Sandheaver (who had me on ignore) announces that without reading my post she knows it's dumb, everyone questions why she was doing that, she calls me a sexist name caller, and then, and then, and then.... yadda yadda snipped. 

http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,131077.0/all.html - Her no FE FE thread

[yotsuya]

I'm gonna miss Sandheaver. It breaks up the sausage party around here.

[yotsuya]

Oh, and once I found out she was a woman, I always regretted making post #32 in her no-FE thread.

[opt2not]

I think I may be part to blame as well. She posted a bit of self-deprecating nonsense and a bit of bashing to suggestions made by others in yotsuya's project-naming post, then Le Chuck posted something in Le Chuck fashion, not realizing it was a reply to her.  Then I called her out for the disrespect to the suggestions, which somehow she took it as sexiest remark... even though I didn't know who this person was, let alone her gender...

She then wrote a big post on how much strife her life has, and how she doesn't care about what we all think.

Then Saint stepped in with a mop and cleaned up the thread...then she bailed.

Honestly before that thread I never heard of her, but by reading some of her posts, especially her thread reactions about the non-Front-end-Front-end, it's probably for the best. She seemed extremely unstable, and probably on some kind of professional help and medication.  I felt pity for her though, 'cause it seemed that she was using this forum as a sort of therapy, an outlet.  Boy, did she out-let.  I just hope she works out whatever is haunting her.

[Le Chuck]

Oh, and once I found out she was a woman, I always regretted making post #32 in her no-FE thread.

Meh, I still stand by what I said in 109.  Yours was a bit more direct tho.  Incidentally it looks like saint has gone through and edited my posts to remove both traces of the wretched name calling.  Your use of ---Bad words, bad words, whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when saint censors you?---, tho auto edited, still stands proud. 

then Le Chuck posted something in Le Chuck fashion

A truer statement has rarely been made. 

[yotsuya]

Heh. I said that because I thought it was a dude acting like a chick. I was mortified when I realized I called a woman a ---Bad words, bad words, whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when saint censors you?---. Damn you, Internet!

[Hoopz]

Nope, don't understand that.  Why make such a spectacle before doing it?  It's all about ego and the "look at me" factor.  I wonder how people like that are in real life and what kind of example they are setting for their kids.  Yep, I went there.  At least Ahigh and PBJ just left without the drama.

Thanks for the link to the thread.  I saw that when yotsuya first posted and wanted to suggest "My parents don't love me since they bought me Atari instead of Intellivision" but I decided to have a mature moment and not thread crap.  Turns out I missed all the fun.

And what happend with CheffoJeffo and/or HaRuMaN not having a screenshot of the thread like they would years ago?   

[opt2not]

Lee's a mod now, he's all respectable and crap.

[lordnacho]

I posted in the "no frontend" thread giving a suggestion, so he/she(didn't know this) sent me a PM with the code.  This was part of it:
"I didn't post this in that thread because those f**kers are a**holes."

Just thought you guys would want to know

[Vigo]

Oh, and once I found out she was a woman, I always regretted making post #32 in her no-FE thread.

   You are the only person she sorta forgave. I think she hated me quite a bit more simply because my comments were simply off the wall stupid. I was honestly trying to divert her anger and lighten the mood, but I wasn't expecting her to be completely devoid of a sense of humor. Hrm...I wonder if she is related to Darren?

Besides, it really shouldn't be a big deal. A woman should know that when she shows up to the boys' card game that there will be a bit of name slinging going around. I guess not many women can be perfect like Jennifer. 



Funny enough, I always assumed there were a number of women around here and thought nothing of it. Its not until these topics go up that I realize how few ladies are around here. Last non-veteran lady I remember around here must have been at least a year or two ago, and Nobody made a peep about her being a woman when she said so. I remember she welded and did electronics and all sorts of good stuff. Can't remember much else other than she found an empty unfinished cab. I'm totally digressing, but my point is that I don't think anybody here really cares about gender. At least unless they want to post pics of themselves in the bathroom mirror.

Point of clarification - not a boys' card game, this is a St.Clair invitational with all genders, gender preferences, races, and political bents welcomed. No sexism please - if in doubt I'd prefer folks err on the side of caution.

Thanks!

Sweet.  Post the code.

Here:

// launch this via "node launcher.js".
// to select a game, visit the hosting computer's IP address in a web browser.
// example: http://192.168.1.50:1337/?game=dkong
// This should launch Donkey Kong on the computer running the app.

// You'll need to configure the following 3 lines to match your environment:
var mameDirectory = "d:/mame/";
var mameExe = "mame64.exe";
var mameOptions = ""; // like '-window' or maybe '-video ddraw' or whatever.
var kill = 'taskkill.exe /pid';
var psgrep = 'tasklist /fo csv | findstr';

// no configuration below this line //
var http = require('http');
var url = require('url');
var execa = require('child_process').exec;  // rename exec() to execa() to make room for synchronous exec.


require('shelljs/global');  // npm install shelljs - this is where synchronous exec() comes from.

var child;
var childpid;

http.createServer(function (req, res) {
   var queryData = url.parse(req.url, true).query;

   res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/html'});
   
   function launch(game) {
      game = game.replace(/;.*$/, ''); // strip out sneaky ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- on unix & mac.
      game = game.replace(/&.*$/, ''); // strip out sneaky ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- on windows.
     
      child = execa(mameExe + ' ' + mameOptions + ' ' + game, { cwd: mameDirectory }, function(error, stdout, stderr) {
         if (error) { res.write(stderr); }
         if (stdout) { console.log(stdout); }
         if (stderr) { console.log(stderr); }
      });
   }
   
   if (queryData.game) {
   
      childpid = exec(psgrep + ' ' + mameExe, {silent:true}).output.split(',')[1];
     
      if (childpid) {
         // you'll need to modify this for unix. //
         childpid = childpid.replace(/"/g, '');
         console.log('killing mame.');
         exec(kill + ' ' + childpid, {silent:true});
      }
     
      res.write('hello ' + queryData.game + '.\n');
      console.log('launching ' + queryData.game);
     
      if (queryData.game != 'exit') {
         launch(queryData.game);
      }
     
      child.on('exit', function(code) {
      //   console.log('game exited: ' + code);
         child = null;
      });
     
   } else {
      res.write("You didn't mention a game.  Here's a quick list to get started.<br/>");
   }
   
   res.write('<h1>Some popular games:</h1>');
   res.write('<a href="/?game=dkong">Donkey Kong</a><br/>');
   res.write('<a href="/?game=dkongjr">Donkey Kong Jr.</a><br/>');
   res.write('<a href="/?game=mspacman">Mrs. Pac-man</a><br/>');
   res.write('<a href="/?game=galaga">Galaga</a><br/>');
   res.write('<a href="/?game=frogger">Frogger</a><br/>');
   res.write('<a href="/?game=digdug">Dig Dug</a><br/>');
   
   res.end('done.\n');
}).listen(1337, '0.0.0.0');

console.log('Server running at http://[your ip]:1337/');

  Right on, as it should be.

I'll clarify my point as well. In the real world, I work in an office where the department I work in is about 30 women and I am the only man. It has been that way for years. Well, they often forget there is a man present and will talk about things like lady cramping, how evil men are, the obscene parts of romance novels, etc. Some days in my life it is like someone turned on "the view" then tossed the remote under a streamroller. My point is that I know the demographic I am generally surrounded in and am very understanding around unfiltered women-speak on a daily basis. My hope is that anyone who joining us that is outside of the common demographic will be a bit more forgiving of us when we fail at being on our absolute bestest behavior.

still cant understand why the delete account and posts option is enabled on this forum. It's a nightmare not only for valuable information that could be gone forever, it's also terrible from an SEO perspective. Figured this would have still been fresh in people's minds from the PBJ incident.

I still can't delete my own posts... Good thing the mods can clean up after me though.

[Le Chuck]

I can.  I just did to make sure, my "sweet post the code" post is gone.  What theme are you using.  Back in Black (or whatever it's called) has a little "remove" icon in the top right corner of my posts.  I can't delete entire threads but I can clean up a post licketysplit.

[Nephasth]

I've tried all the themes…

[Vigo]

You must have been pegged as the next PBJ. It's just a precaution I'm sure.

[Nephasth]

When I go, all I'll be able to do is modify my posts to: "."

Sandheaver would still read that as a "period joke".

People who delete all their posts should make that a ":", because you know what a colon is full of and what it is at the end.

Oh great guys, you made her leave.

I was really hoping to get that no front end, front end in its final finished form.

See I got this great build I'm working on.
It's a no arcade, arcade machine.

I call up the list of games on my phone and after selecting the game, I play it on my phone.

I really hate to look at all those tacky games on my arcades monitor

She didnt have to go, I think in time eventually that chip might have fallen off her shoulder.

Agreed, so that's why you should also build an arcade like cradle for your phone with real arcade controls ... oh wait I just described an iCade.

  Yes, but those pesky arcade controls just going to get in the way. You will need an app to call up a virtual joystick on a second phone to play your game on a third phone. Maybe add a 4th phone for a marquee.

[Gray_Area]

Last I recall, she was posting pictures about the arcade she visited. Didn't see nothin coming......

No, that's what a Windows table is for.

I think allowing someone to wipe their existence is a good thing. Should be retroactive for all who've been banned. Just wipe all their stuff out with 'em. It's not like noobs find their stuff very often anyways.....

[CheffoJeffo]

And what happend with CheffoJeffo and/or HaRuMaN not having a screenshot of the thread like they would years ago?   

You would think that in all that time somebody else would have learned how to do browser captures ... 

[Hoopz]

And have someone claim trademark infringement?  Nope, not me getting in trouble for stepping on their elders' toes....
