My new computer!

Not only am I doing this a day late, but I've decided to go a different route and show the extreme power of this thing, by running Renegade-X at MAXIMUM GRAPHICS. This'll be a mostly image based thing, with bits of text inbetween describing some context.
Eat my GTX 2070, Renegade X, and make the hardware SCREAM~!
Out the window and into combat! Right out the gate, Renegade X stuns me with beautiful graphics and very breakable windows. I mean come on guys, at least Renegade took a bullet or four to get rid of a window.
My short lived buggy showed me all the sights I missed back in the day when I still had my Lenovo laptop that died. Also, to get back to my tank which I had died repairing. Not fun.
Unfortunately for this girl right here, intelligence was not her strong suit, and so her, in her quest to fire upon a building,she kept hitting this metal beam instead. And...
Apparently, the GDI harvester thought she looked nice and tried to get a BJ from her. I helped her out though. Not that the help mattered much, since she was blown to bits in seconds.
It should be stated that Renegade X's AI is horrendous. 80% of these AI are supposed to be attacking, not defending, and yet they're all bunched up on the airfield. It's like they want my artillery piece but don't want to part with their vehicles. Amateurs. Wait a minute, what is that stealth tank to the right doing?
I stole this helicopter. That'll teach you for stealing my artillery piece! Thank god they fixed the helicopter, now it doesn't fall out of the sky and is controllable. Too bad it won't last 10 minutes.
To wrap this up, I'm just going to post the two victory images because I'm tired and I've run out of things to say.

And that concludes this update. Thank you for looking at these pictures.

The Adventures of a Shitty Webmaster

As you may know, I have a website. That website is my pride and joy in terms of my programming skills. As you can tell, I have terrible programming skills. However, that does not mean I will settle for something not working(or even half-working.) When my website was shut down temporarily because of pornographic content being posted on my forums, I was pissed to discover that a few things on my website no longer worked after being restored. Specifically, my logo would no longer work and my index.css no longer wanted to update. This was all on my end, so naturally it wouldn't have affected others, but non-the-less I wanted it working for me too. Here's the example of my problems prior to me fixing them.

Now, as you can see, my navigation bar is fucked up on the #nav .inactive elements and my logo was failing to load. This wouldn't do in my eyes, however, so I began to work on index.css first. (This is a 521 "connection timed out" error on the logo.png, I'll explain how I fixed that.) It was a simple padding error, I had forgotten to include the padding on #nav .inactive, so I added the padding. However... Upon clicking save and reloading the website, I discovered it did not update. Taking a look at the site's index.css revealed that for whatever reason, the saved css file was not wanting to update on my website. However, when I asked someone else to visit my website, they gave me this image.
At first, I thought "meh, it works on their end", but the longer I looked at my index page, and the logo not loading on the rest of my website, the more I became PISSED at it. This wouldn't do, what was this garbage anyways!? So, I enlisted the help of my dad, who had yet another computer to test this one(surprise, it wasn't working on there either, so it had something to do with my internet), and I began to implement comments and lines of code on both the index.css and the index.html, of which, only index.html was updating at all. Eventually, I tried this. I copied the entirety of the index.css and put it into a file named copyin.css. That worked. This was after I tried renaming the index.css to copyin.css which did not work. So yay! I now have a functional website on the navbar! Apply that page to the logo with logofix.png and bam, everything is finally as it should be. And it looks beautiful.


Mini update that I might as well include here:A close friend of mine by the name of TEHLEROY has decided to join my efforts to make a small community blog here, and thus I've added a lot of stuff related to them. Welcome them when they finally make a post!

New Blog!

Hi everyone! As you may know, I've been extremely inactive on Vidlii. I plan to change this. Life issues have gotten in the way for too long I say! So, I've decided that I will now, every week, provide a new blog post here to give you an insight into my life and to tell you guys I'm still alive... If you even care anymore about me, that is. It won't just be every week, but there'll be a guaranteed post every Thursday, unless I say so, but even then, I'll make sure to post it.

New video coming eventually, I'm so sorry for the wait, but currently, my only good PC is dead thanks to the charger port being broken, so I'm getting a new fancy MSI one. I'll post pictures of it when it arrives.
