nope. it was a "recommended" from steam. older, not in dev or in funding. it would be nice if there was a switch on steam to say "only recommend things that are in greenlight program"
@Mateo every time i see a 2.5d that looks like that, it makes me think prince of persia or even older games i had on 3.5 floppies
 
also I used to have fun on battle tanx, beetle adventure racing, and jet force gemini
 
@TheBrownOne Go Super Mario 64!!!
I no longer have an N64, but the emulators work awesomely. Project64 FTW
 
By far, my favorite mario game was mario kart
 
12:10 AM
Star Fox 64
 
So much that ^^
 
I'm losing the sidebar war :'(
Attention people of the world! Star every chat you can made by me. Let's see if we can get it filled up ;)
 
huh, wonder if that other link was just the thing that is usually in them allready - here is the expansion pack gamestop.com/accessories/nintendo-64-expansion-pak-4mb/122899
 
@Daniel BE MORE AMUSING.
 
@Daniel Sorry. I had just completely forgotten about star fox... and got overly excited
 
12:12 AM
@ThomasW. I was asleep. Still need a mod?
 
OK @JourneymanGeek
I'll try
'Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country'. Marion Barry [Mayor Washington, DC]
'I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts'. Will Rogers [Comedian, social commentator, vaudeville actor]
In democracy it's your vote that counts;
In feudalism it's your count that votes.
Mogens Jallberg
The word 'politics' is derived from the word 'poly', meaning 'many', and the word 'ticks', meaning 'blood sucking parasites'.

Don't vote. You'll only encourage them.

Where is AmitKK when you need his flashing star banner userscript
 
The closest I’ve been to a diet this year is erasing food searches from my browser history.
 
Amith hasn't been seen in eons :/
 
@Seth I know.
 
12:15 AM
I know you know :(
 
I’ve given up social media for the New Year and am trying to make friends outside Facebook while applying the same principles. Every day, I walk down the street and tell passersby what I’ve eaten, how I feel, what I did the night before, and what I will do tomorrow. Then I give them pictures of my family, my dog, and me gardening. I also listen to their conversations and tell them I love them. And it works. I already have three people following me—two police officers and a psychiatrist.
THIS IS SO TRUE: I put so much more effort into naming my first Wi-Fi than my first child.
 
amusing dosen't mean copy pasting funny things ;p
 
^
It's funny for a little while..
 
A client called my help desk saying she couldn’t send an e-mail. When I was done troubleshooting the problem, she interrupted me to ask, “Wait a minute, do I type @ in lower- or uppercase?”
 
I'll have whatever is in THAT coffee cup...
 
12:16 AM
It's funny for a little while, yes
woah
 
Then we get annoyed and add you to the secret list.
 
add an extra "_optout" at the end of your wifi if you don't want your friends with windows 10 automatically giving out the password to all their facebook friends - or better yet don't let your friends use your wifi

@hbdgaf haha, I'm sure Thomas would take one too :p
 
@Seth He just wants a redeye by default I think...
 
12:18 AM
Getting ready for deployment of a new release:
 
"Redeye, 2 extra shots"
 
user image
2
 
One of my friends would drink that
 
@hbdgaf hah.
redbull + coffee maybe.
 
This is me when I find that wayward parenthesis that breaks my code
 
12:18 AM
@JourneymanGeek I used to do a chai latte with an extra shot.
 
(I drink oldschool coffee)
 
this one is more like me
 
@Mateo So like "abcdef_optout"?
 
@Daniel saved but not starred
 
12:19 AM
OH MY GOD, ITS FULL OF GIFS

Stahp with the Bruce Almighty stuff
 
there, no more oneboxed
 
it's funny :o
 
only gets two daily discretionary humor stars... everything else has to be marginally techie on topic
 
Is it a problem that I'm writing a script to send every new xkcd to my inbox?
 
Yes
Use an RSS feed :(
 
I could swear I saw a scope for that...
 
Eh, Apple Mail doesn't open RSS feeds
 
12:25 AM
Why would you use Apple Mail?!
 
so I'm writing a script on one of my servers
because I'm on a Mac
and it works
and I love it
 
AGH
 
If you hate on Apple I will strike you down with my lightsaber
 
The only thing Apple has going for it is appearance
I also believe you're the only one here who likes Apple :p
 
Knock knock.
Who's there?
Orange.
Orange who?
Orange-ya glad I didn't say Apple?
 
12:28 AM
looks around
Gigabyte, Asrock, asus...
Not an apple in sight ;)
Oh, lenovo
 
@hbdgaf no
 
OK, let me put it this way
 
@JourneymanGeek MSI
 
I don't have to worry about a single freaking driver
 
Ubuntu
Windows 7+
 
12:29 AM
I have Ubuntu, OS X, and Windows XP and Windows 10
and Windows 7
 
@JourneymanGeek ftr, the new gaming rig is and AMD APU in an HP elitedesk I got on clearance.
 
Don't need to worry about drivers on Mac until you want to use something that isn't an iDevice or mouse
 
On my desk right now, 2x windows 10, 1x fedora 23 (with a windows 10 second boot), ubuntu (on physical hardware)
 
Androids on Apple? Nightmare IRL
Wacom tablets? Forget about it
Older applications? Nope
Backwards compatibility? HA!
 
I use a Wacom
I use applications from before I Was born
 
12:31 AM
@Daniel OK, that one I made up :p
 
Wacoms are specifically designed to work on Macs..
 
^^
 
Moreover, everything a Windows machine can do I can do on this Mac
 
@Daniel You can't use classic apps on 10.7+
 
@Seth It's why they don't work anywhere else ootb... and so it begins >.>
 
12:32 AM
@hbdgaf exactly.
 
<| cut -d ":" -f 2- | cut -d "<" -f 1 | cut -d " " -f 2>
woops
I forgot I changed my clipboard contents.. :O
<http://i.stack.imgur.com/kCBX0.jpg>
I'm waiting for you
 
I spent 9 years as an Apple technician, and there is nothing about a Mac that impresses me
 
mac and packard bell... damn, paying off some serious karmic debt there ;p
 
@JourneymanGeek You know it! :D
 
@Daniel Like play a 3D game?
 
12:34 AM
Yup
I can play pretty much all modern games on this mac
and some older ones
 
Sometimes I think it would be neat if AU had a blog..
 
I bet money you can't play dying light on Mac.
 
What is this Mac?
 
Heck, I can play Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy NATIVEY
NATIVELY
 
Is it from an alternate universe where Steve Jobs didn't die or something?
 
12:35 AM
This is a 2011 Mac Mini
my Dad's Mac though...
 
That might explain it, but I'm not convinced
 
That's not modern
 
6 cores @ 3.8GHz, 32GB RAM, dual AMD A900 GPUs
 
tho in theeeeory I could play anything on my nuc class machine. Just as long as I render it elsewhere
 
that's my Dad's mac
it'll run the new Battlefront
 
12:36 AM
trashcan or cheesegrater?
 
trashcan, with the problems fixed
 
@JourneymanGeek Mini, so sandwich
wat
 
Mine is a mini
my Dad's is a Pro
 
oh
Well this is confusing..
 
12:37 AM
@Daniel How much did that cost? It's about equivalent to a $500 PC build
 
He got it for a song and a dance
 
@JourneymanGeek that's why I was so sad to see onlive shut down
 
and it has lifetime support and warranty
 
@Zacharee1 lol, its a xeon, so much pricier
 
@JourneymanGeek the Pro?
 
12:37 AM
may I mention that it also will run an 8K display?
 
Xeons have 6 cores?
 
I thought they had 16
 
er. depends on the model
 
I don't remember if he has the 6 or the 8 or the 12 or the 16
 
12:38 AM
IIRC they go up to 10
 
but I think it's either 6 or 8
 
@Daniel My Probook can run an 8k display
 
Can it run games @ 8K?
 
there's no 8k displays on the market.
 
Not that I have one to use, but it can
 
12:38 AM
ANd nothing can run games well at 8K
 
@Daniel Probooks can't even run Windows 10 correctly. :p
 
I roll my own @JourneymanGeek
 
HP is worse than Apple
 
a 980TI can barely do that.
@Daniel now you're just making shit up
 
this thing will run 8K @ 60fps
nope
Take 4 4K displays and run them as a matrix
 
12:39 AM
One does not roll their own monitors
that's not 8K
 
@JourneymanGeek roll?
 
it is too.
 
7680 x 4320
 
arrange 4 4K monitors in a square formation
 
and you're running 4 seperate monitors each with their own data pipe
 
12:40 AM
3840 pixels × 2160
 
yup
anyways, my Mom's telling me to get off and get stuff done
 
I run 2x UHD
 
so I'll fight you guys later!
and I need to leave for a meeting
 
That is definitely not 8K
 
Evidently someone has been looking at Origin's builds and fantasizing...
 
12:40 AM
wat
 
and the 980TI Barely does a single monitor at high/ultra settings.
 
my 760 does ok with my 4k
 
The Mac Pro doesn't have a 6-core 3.8GHz processor....
 
Not even close to 6 cores
 
The highest the 2011 Mac Mini will go is dual core i7.
 
12:42 AM
2 != 6
 
oh haha, Terrance and I found the same thing xD
 
@Terrance the Mac Pro I think is what supposedly has the 6@3.8
 
@Seth too funny! :D
 
But it's either 4@3.7 or 6@3.5
 
@Zacharee1 Yes it is.
 
12:43 AM
Mac uses ECC RAM?
Way to be unnecessarily proprietary AGAIN
 
Apple G4 Cube was nothing but crap and a lie
 
and the Mac Mini 2011 can only handle 16GB of RAM max.. across 2 DIMMs provided you are running OSX >10.7.
 
Advertised AGP Graphics
 
@Terrance dat formatting tho
 
Maybe Mac Pro was meant? Or maybe we're just being trolled.
 
12:44 AM
 
@Seth Pro was meant
 
Find me AGP Slot on that board!
 
Can we stop on the Mac hatering? It was just noise.
 
@Terrance that's PCI..............................................................
 
wait, a Mac Mini with dual GPUs? hah.
 
12:44 AM
Somebody forked my git repo \ 0/ woho
 
3 RAM slots though
 
@hbdgaf agreed
 
@Zacharee1 Exactly!
 
@Seth PROPROPRO
 
12:44 AM
lshw does HTML out
 
fun
@JourneymanGeek stop OTing our OT :p
 
OK, I'm done with the Mac Hating now
 
What the heck is that board ?
@Terrance what did i miss ?
 
@Serg G4 Cube logicboard
 
Wait, the pro doesn't come with A900 graphics either
Is this an older model?
 
12:45 AM
@Serg someone filling us full of crap about Apple
 
Everything said was exaggerated
 
Ah, so that's one of those rotten apples huh ?
 
@Mateo OK?
 
Yep! :D
 
12:47 AM
something interesting
 
@Mateo Well I think you found the year
2013 for his Pro
 
@Serg first time I'ld seen him, but it was loud from the very first...
 
@Terrance hmm Apple G4?
 
@JourneymanGeek Yes
 
AMD A900 doesn't exist!?
 
12:48 AM
@Zacharee1 the dustbin macs do have a ATI card of some sort
 
@JourneymanGeek Yeah, AMD FirePro D Series
A doesn't exist AFAIResearched
 
@hbdgaf that G4 thing is loud ? Well, that's kind of expected from a computer released in 2000s
 
@Serg lol, the cube didn't have fans
 
@Serg No. Scroll back to the one liner joke bombardment.
 
12:49 AM
Silly Serg, Jobs would never put a fan in a computer!
 
But there's not enough ports for 4 monitors
 
O_O wut ?then . . .how would the system cool if CPU overheated ?
 
@Zacharee1 the fan is the computer. ;p
 
@Serg that's why they failed
 
@Serg passively cooled systems
THey do exist
 
12:50 AM
@JourneymanGeek That wasn't the problem. I can't seem to find a 6-core 3.8GHz Mac Pro
 
heatsinks on CPUs is actually a relatively recent thing
 
@JourneymanGeek explain moar plz. I know there's water - cooled systems, but . . . what else ?
 
@JourneymanGeek For three months before they fry
 
But I can over heat them with putting one piece of paper on them. Plus it causes the plastic to get very weak and brittle.
 
@Terrance That's why the Lisa and Cube failed
 
12:51 AM
@Zacharee1 Exactly!
 
" one 3.5 GHz 6-Core "Ivy Bridge-EP" Intel Xeon (E5-1650 v2) with 12 MB L3 cache" is the closest.
@Zacharee1 funny you would say that
 
@JourneymanGeek YERP
 
The iMac Gen1 was horrible for heat killing the bezel
 
I've gone through 3 brix so far
 
@JourneymanGeek Yes, but to get that clock rate, core count, and architecture, you have to hook up your quantum cpu to a flux capacitor and generate 1.21 giggawatts
 
12:52 AM
@Serg pre pentium, most processors were passively cooled
@hbdgaf or a huge amount of metal for a heatsink, with tons of surface area
 
I've done my research. I don't hate Apple just because.
 
here's the thing
I have an older quad core PC
 
I had an iPod, I have an iPad, I use plenty of iPhones
 
Stuff dies? I replace it with standard shit.
 
12:53 AM
Exactly
Mac dies? You need special firmware, special hardware, special cables, special specialty
 
My ivy bridge is holding up well. I'm looking at a 2nd or third generation 'lake setup for an upgrade in 2-3 years
I can keep my video card.
My nuc class machines? some non standard stuff but I can just buy whatever's cheaper and swap the HDD
 
NUC looks really cool
I might see if I can save up to get one
 
My new one is nice.
Has an optional fan and built in storage +msata + hdd
 
Would be a great dormroom desk computer
 
You know . . . I'll settle for a different single-board computer . . . we're in 2016 for chrissake
 
12:55 AM
@Serg huh?
 
@Zacharee1 I went for the cheapest one I could when I got mine ;p
 
Talking about that G4 cube thingy
 
ugh, Comcast. My upload speed just dropped to 170Kbps
 
@Seth Should I reupload the comic? :p
@Seth talking...
 
@Seth funny you should mention that arstechnica.com/business/2016/02/…
 
12:56 AM
@Zacharee1 if you want something for college, the HP stream 11(and machines of its class) are nice
I considered one for home server MKIII but I wanted more ram and storage space ;p
 
@JourneymanGeek heheh, college. This is HS!
 
@Zacharee1 even better!
 
Anything that could play Minecraft decently, but is still small and portable (i.e. something easily carried between locations)?
 
Why doesn't Apple believe in PgUp PgDn, or 10 Key pads?
 
@Terrance UNIQUITY
 
12:58 AM
for the same reason they have a one button mouse
 
:D
 
I refuse to say "uniqueness" because it sounds horrible
 
Got me smiling with that answer!
 
@Terrance cause its smaller 10keyless
 
@hbdgaf well, the mouse I actually like, but $70????
 
12:59 AM
@hbdgaf I thought their current mice had no buttons
 
@JourneymanGeek Probably. But even the 17" MacBooks don't have them. Nor does any of their USB keyboards
 
@JourneymanGeek maybe. i haven't touched a mac mouse for a couple years
 
test
 
@JourneymanGeek it's one physical button with a digitizer across the surface, so it can tell when you scroll or right click
