gollark: I'd probably play more if the server was busier and the pack somewhat less computationally heavy.
gollark: 8GB.
gollark: I quite like 1.7. I mean, Thaumcraft, Rotary/Reactor/ChromatiCraft, etc. are available, and most mods have some versions available on 1.7 still. The main problem with this pack for me is that I have to close Firefox or run out of RAM, due to the 300 mods.
gollark: I'll probably be on this evening (GMT), assuming it actually runs without eating all my RAM.
gollark: Bad e-webbernet?
