So I was talking about things that are a waste of resources with my fiance -- such as gold-plated stuff that really don't need gold plating - like at all. Over the course of the conversation, I had said "what's next, a diamond encrusted toilet?"

Well, turns out... It already exists. -_-

I'm gonna build a BWB Megarocket and then I'm outta here. Seen too much garg.

Only thing that would be worse is a gold plated plunger. (let alone useless)

I would hate to poop on that toilet. And I would also hate to use gold toilet paper which also just so happens to exists.

But would you eat gold?

Or wear the diamond armor from Minecraft?

Pfft. Silver tastes better.

(Looks better too, all joking aside.)

I've eaten a gold plated easter egg once. It was... unremarkable. Possibly because it wasn't server quality for some reason. (Yeah, your soup kitchens serve goop. Over HERE we get golden easter eggs!)

Gosh, some of the names on that board… I don't see them around at all anymore…

Unless some of you currently here are remnants of that board under a different name… but geez, some of them are mod authors I don't see stuff from anymore… (XKYRauh… *sniff*)

Then it would need to check if the original Keen exe is exactly same (in the byte-level ofcourse) than the one created from the "source" the program just made. If so, then we have our source! :D
:D

Really nice to read that thread. I'm pretty sure that as a lurker I read the ezboard in its entirety back then. The Pokémon bashing is a bit unfortunate... who's to say that the integral notion of Pokémon is more commercialisable than that of Keen. I think it was just a case of circumstance - timing, sizes/power/wealth of corporations and game platform. Anyway one thing's for sure, the community's interest in 'The Source' has long been borderline religious. :P
