@Jessie, we were just being facetious because of his tendency to over-explain things. The irony of this journal may be lost on him, but I'm bathing in it.

I thought the only reason people were confused was because you wrote the exact same sentence twice in two different, confusing ways. The message was pretty clear.

Prost in my language means "simple" (male form - prost, female form - prosta, neuter form - prosto), but its second meaning is something like "sexual" but the use of that meaning for this word is tightly limited to a few scenarios, like "prosti vicevi" which means "sex jokes", ahaha. Yeah, I don't understand those jokes. :/
@Windawz Well, since I live in Bosnia a.k.a. "Slavic Kebab (Balija) Land", you could've assumed I was a Muslim. >:D

There are vast stretches of autobahn that are unrestricted speed, yes.
Germany is excellent & Munich was one of my all-time favourite places to visit. Exceptionally friendly people, good-humoured culture and the beer is world-class for a reason. Prost!
Cd5ssmffan, I have no idea what joke you're trying to make, but it wasn't a good one.

@Striker Cool, more reasons for me to go to Germany. If I tell this to my classmates, they will be excited (assuming that the speed restriction thing is true).

Germany is the only country I know of that doesn't have speed restrictions on the highway. Imagine covering 100 km in half an hour... I currently do 2 hours for that.

Where did I get this? Here you go: http://ralertmod.narod.ru I hope you know russian well. Though I can help you with translating it. Dynamic Shadows is something GS can't handle. Though, HL Alpha had dynamic shadows from monsters.

Nice little find, first time i am seeing this. I am thinking of a day/night cycle trickery when i'll actually fire up gs again. What about the dynamic shadows? Better yet, where'd you get this from?

I've got a Volkswagen Golf 3 1994. Don't plan on switching it yet, it's great for me, but when I'll have to, I'll look into mazda models (though land rovers are more on my mind).

But HL Alpha had all this as well. If you want to see more stuff like that I can give you a link on that site. It's in russian but I can try to translate it for you. You can also find there some interesting info about info_node. It appears that there are different types for info_node, even some for the stukabat.

Dynamic lights are a remnant of quake but its quite used like for explosions, rpg, flashlight. But i guess having too many of these dynlights is going to choke even a modern cpu

Yeah. Found this at some russian site. If I would know if I'm allowed to post here links to other web-sites I would credit it. What's interesting is that the features like dynamic lighting, dynamic shadows and a lot of other cool stuff are the remains of the Alpha version of Half-Life.

It's odd how I wanted to learn programming in order to code for GoldSrc and CE1, yet now I want to learn it for more things than that.
I don't know what to choose yet, seriously. I think it will be like my current situation:
Basically, my best personal skills are mapping, texturing and video-editing. The rest is pretty basic.
So I'll have a similar thing with programming. I'll specialise in some specific things while I'll have a basic, general knowledge about the others. For example, it's like knowing maths in order to use them to help solve a problem in physics, while physics is my main focus. Something like that, I'm not sure.

From what I've observed in benchmarking videos, Ryzen performs the same or slightly less than Intel processors, but the key difference is that Ryzen is not fully occupied (50-60% only), while the intel ones go to 90% CPU utilization.
I think Ryzen cpus are excellent for multitasking.

It's comparable to the 7500 and way better in multicore performance if you use blender you will appreciate that. Though i have not done a ton of research on it since it is quite new.

Id go with Ryzen 5 + GTX1060 for your budget. A 1060 is ~200eu, and i believe its the bare minimum for some "futureproof'ness" and a really good gaming experience now. I'm running one now with a 7700k (what an underkill compared that my rig was 10x the price of the 1060 ).
Anyway I recommend AMD now for budget builds because they have come back to screw Intel with low cost, high core count medium-end chips.

I'll make up for it by toying around with C++ at home, lol.
Nowadays, C++ is more used for video games, some "specific consumer applications" and teaching concepts of a low level programming language. If you are aiming at a "developer" career like myself, then common web languages (HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, SQL) and high level programming languages like Java and C# is where you need to go.
Also, techniques, terminology and other stuff in programming is way more important than the language itself because the "client" has the final word on the languages and technologies you work on (and he don't care if you like it or not)

Both in grades/scores and in behaviour.
That school was great a couple of years ago but it seems to be decaying these days. I have no idea what's exactly happening with them, but I can only assume that the generations are getting worse and the experienced professors are leaving the school. :/

OK, bad news...
Apparently, I won't go to the ETS in Mostar because of:
Most of the experienced professors left
Students are starting to get worse and worse in that school
I'd have to wake up at 4:30 in the morning, get to the bus at 6:00 and endure 3 hours of driving until I get there, and then survive 6 to 8 classes and then take 3 hours more to get back home and I'll have very little time to study. __
Looks like I'll have to attend the general high school. But hey! If I complete the general one, I'll be able to sign up any college in my country etc. and as for the programming stuff, I'll make up for it by toying around with C++ at home, lol.

But we're not learning how to compose music!
We learn about music periods (renaissance, classicism, baroque etc.) and we learn how to sing local folk songs, and then we study the people who composed some stuff (Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin etc.)...
It's just annoying to study the same topic for 5 years already (yes, we've done Mozart in 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th grade), I wish we learned more about music theory, notes, chords, scales etc.
And the school doesn't even have a piano! It actually has, but it's sitting in a dark basement under the staircases.
@Snehk Oh yes, you haven't seen my "Epik master plan" journals. I need the bank account only and only for games so I can remove these stupid limits from my Steam account. Yeah, I can buy physical goods with cash, so I won't need a card there. XD
And don't worry, there is a shop nearby, and a bakery on the other end of the street there. I probably won't have problems if I get used to buying stuff. I've never bought my own lunch (or anything for that matter) since 2nd grade.

A few advices on moving to high school (if you won't like to find it out on your own).
Take technical - technician looks better in CV and allows you to take on better jobs.
If you can keep up your grades, go for some scholarship. It's a nice financial boost.
Early morning bus sucks, but you can spend the time on bus stops and in the bus socialising, if social life is your concern. Get a car and drivers license once you can. Check if the school rents rooms in a flat for students it you don't want to take bus every morning.
School can't really tell you that you can't carry your own food with you, sitting hungry for several hours is counter productive and leads to several gastric problems, so if they do disallow, that have to provide you with a school shop at least.
Check it you really need a bank account - I'm about to go to college yet I still don't have one...
Prost is a drinking toast in German.
One less reason not to go = One more reason to go
Though, I don't think that uncensoring Half-Life is a reason to go. It's just 1 reason less, to not go.
I mean, we have x reasons on one side (why to go) and y reasons on the another (why not to go).
Basically, uncensoring Half-Life is y - 1.
y - 1 is not x + 1 in this case.
So, I did say it in another way but that other statement (one more reason to go) isn't correct. That's at least how I think of it.
@Windawz
Bosnian, Serbian and Croatian are like Russian on steroids. Good luck with that, haha.
I hate geography.
Bosnian, as a slavic language, is very close to russian. I need to try to study it, I think it will be easy.
@Windawz
Well, since I live in Bosnia a.k.a. "Slavic Kebab (Balija) Land", you could've assumed I was a Muslim. >:D
