Re: More Wallpapery goodness
Where is your god now?

Warning: Huge picture is huge.
Cool. I'd never set that as my wallpaper though. Far too goth and depressing.
He's a star-eating god from Warhammer 40,000.  He's supposed to be goth and depressing.

That the one napping underneath the Adeptus Mechanicus?

So uh... how are there depictions of it, if nobody (alive) has seen it?

This is Warhammer 40k, I think you answered your own question.
<Achillion> I mean, it's not like he's shoving the brain-goo in a usb slot and praying to kurzweil to bring the singularity

<dsockwell> idk about you guys but the reason i follow God's law is so I can get my rocks off in the afterlife

Depends on whether you count the Empra as still alive.

No, no... the C'tan have been inactive for millions of years. The Emperor has only been around for 10,000 years.

There's this novel called "Mechanicum" that directly contradicts that notion.

The Emperor actually predates the Imperium by a good bit. (He was apparently born in Anatolia, Turkey, sometime BC). IIRC he was beating up the Void Dragon around the 14th century.

Immortal or not, Mega-super-duper Psyker god or not, no one went to Mars in the 14th Century, how did he get the VD to there to imprison it?
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

There are only 10 types of people in the world , those that understand binary and those that don't.

Alpha-level psykers can do warp travel without spaceships. Alpha-level psykers (like John Grammaticus) who encountered the Emperor during the Great Crusade typically shat bricks. Do the math.

And apparently the Void Dragon was there long before we crawled out of the primordial ooze.

Re: More Wallpapery goodness
Hmm, helo...

Anyway, having seen in this thread what Rainmeter can do, I installed it as well. Good stuff, really.

Full-size, clean image here. Just slightly inspired by IceyJones' Galatea render :D


I love this: Between the BBC blurb in the corner, and the complementary color scheme, this shot makes it look like a newsfeed update, instead of a screen cap. I can just hear "Yesterday, the 5th fleet's maneuvers brought it close enough to the Antares-Vega commercial route for several passengers to..."

Also, I know I'm late asking this, but what is that program I keep seeing in these caps, for the to-do list and news RSS?

Re: More Wallpapery goodness
It was mentioned in the post you quoted.
Rainmeter.
"Neutrality means that you don't really care, cuz the struggle goes on even when you're not there: Blind and unaware."

"We still believe in all the things that we stood by before,
and after everything we've seen here maybe even more.
I know we're not the only ones, and we were not the first,
and unapologetically we'll stand behind each word."

 
Re: More Wallpapery goodness
oh, ok. I saw the name, I just assumed it was in reference to another program icon...you know, one that measures rain, or something. :blah:

It's been ages since I changed it, but I just did.



Please don't laugh at me using both rainmeter's dock and rocketdock simultaneously, I like the setup. :P

Not too shabby, Droid. Nice placement of the clock on the bottom-right. :)

I'm now testing one of the wallpapers I made out of images I found via Google Image Search:

I really wanted to use this, but then decided it was too depressing... so instead I have reverted to an old/minimalistic fractal:
In my world of sleepers, everything will be erased.
I'll be your religion, your only endless ideal.
Slowly we crawl in the dark.
Swallowed by the seductive night.

As it so happens I've reverted to a spacey background yet again.  Hrng.

Now I'm depressed that our planet has no rings. :(
