No knorke. You are missing my point. My point is that I myself, running 5 yr old hardware, and run the game at max settings. If you don't have hardware at least as good as mine, you've prolly been doin it wrong. But even so, don't try to block graphical features simply because you can't see them! Ask for an Off switch!
Also, flozi was talking about user side lua. Evo disables (I.e. vfs doesn't even read the user's lua) user lua, therefore it would only be an issue with lua contained in evo. You can start up evo yourself and check out the stats. The only one that gets significantly high is healthbars (why the hell does it eat 11%???), and chili generally eats about 6% (which is still retardedly low). The others are generally hovering around 0.5% or so.

I enjoyed that early part far far more than I enjoyed the later part where I had no real support base and instead had random people popping in to give me shit all the time.
Yeah, that little break really screwed the pooch for most of us. Me and deci tried to keep the momentum going, if you remember, but it more or less failed.
Yesterday I probably had the most fun time in forever. Knorke, cucumber, nixa, keiij, gogodancer, and a few otherss jumped on the evo:stable automagical host and mumble and we had many hours of good fun. That was pretty awesome
