11:00 PM

I ALWAYS HATED YOU MOST OF ALL WIPQOZN

2

@Mana I'VE ALWAYS HATED HIM TOO! HOGGING ALL THE HANDSOME! GOD, WHY CAN'T LET SOME OTHER PEOPLE BE HANDSOME FOR ONCE?!?!?

IT'S NOT. FAIR.

LIFE'S NEVER FAIR.

GAWD I KNOW, I SHOULD LISTEN TO SOME LINKEN PARK OR SOMETHING

THEN CRY AND BE EMO

CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWLING IN MY SKIN

CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWLLLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING IIIIIIIIIIN MYYYYYYY SKIIIIIIN

no offense to anyone who likes linken park of course

offense intended though

11:03 PM

THEEEEEESE WOOOOOOOOOOOOUNDS THEEEEEEEEY WIIIIILLL NOOOOOOT HEEEEAAAAAAAL

FallenAngelEyes

Debate time, who is worse, Linkin Park or Nickelback?

Linkin Park.

Oh my god, are you really making me do this?

Nickelback's worse.

No, Linkin Park.

Linkin Park has some stuff that's great for laughing at

11:04 PM

Although I dislike both of them

Nickelback is just ear torture.

FallenAngelEyes

Nickelback is so bland

I listen to classical music and musicals for christs sake, safe to assume I hate nearly all mainstream music

I'm so anti-mainstream, such a cool guy

It's like that scene from Index season 2 where the church people stab pencils into their ears to prevent themselves from being disabled by the magical song that stops magic.

2

Only it's Nickelback and the church people are the people who actually have ears.

FallenAngelEyes

LP is at least more entertaining than Nickelback I think

also kinda fun to play on Rock Band

11:08 PM

today's listening

I mean, they have a song where you get to shout SHUUUUUT UUUUUP into a microphone repeatedly.

You can't really top that.

FallenAngelEyes

Haha yeah

it can be pretty entertaining to sing in RB, lol

since we're talking about bad music, needed to link memory to balance the world out. Although none of the youtube videos are as good as the version I'm listening to .

I can't even think of any Nickelback songs actually

FallenAngelEyes

How You Remind Me was their first big single

sounds familiar

I think I may have listened to them in my youth, but I am uncertain.

ACtually my present self hates the music choices of my past self (past self meaning age 14 and younger)

FallenAngelEyes

11:10 PM

man, my past self was such an asshole, with his asshole music choices

FallenAngelEyes

Enjoy! runs away laughing maniacally

@FallenAngelEyes It's funny, since I can't view that in my country

Take THAT NEtherlands!

Jesus

@FallenAngelEyes Oh, that reminds me of this other great band

11:11 PM

@badp was never a believer myself.

Reading through the stuff at the start of the PvE nerd.nu server already turned me off

@Mana the preview picture alone makes me rage.

@Wipqozn Just listen. It is quite the thing.

I will not listen to that. MY ears do not wish to bleed today.

gawd, fine

FallenAngelEyes

@Mana what... what is this

11:13 PM

@Mana THAT WAS MEAN

I'M NEVER TRUSTING YOU AGAIN

FallenAngelEyes

I got about 30 seconds into that and couldn't take any more

@FallenAngelEyes you managed to go 30 seconds? Impressive.

33510 likes

10 million views

@Mana I weep for humanity

FallenAngelEyes

@Wipqozn I willingly listened to boy bands in my youth, I am made of stern stuff

11:14 PM

Brokencyde is the best troll ever.

Also I listened to the whole thing (ironically)

@FallenAngelEyes We all have our regrets

I used to listen to Aaron Carter when I was 9 I believe.

Although I prefer not to spread that around, so keep it under your metaphorical hats.

Okay, let's see. I guess if I'm going to link you guys to Brokencyde I need to balance it out by linking to Bjork.

FallenAngelEyes

I've never really listened to her stuff

@Mana eh, not really my thing.

@FallenAngelEyes That song's a classic, yo. Her voice really shines in the ending.

Also, lesbian robots.

3

FallenAngelEyes

11:17 PM

@Mana And in 2 words, you convince me to watch the video

robots have gender?

@NickT They have girly parts in that video, so that's about as close as it comes to robot gender.

They're clearly manboobs

That's a secondary sex characteristic, which is not always correlated with sex

pfffffffft damn it I thought I was past the age where the word manboobs could make me laugh

11:20 PM

@Powerlord Thanks, updating

FallenAngelEyes

Okay the faces are really weird

Anyone see/hear Los Campesinos?

Also the video is being played backwards, so it's actually about two female robots making love before one of them gets dismantled

Woah, Los Campesinos!

FallenAngelEyes

@Mana Oh wow, didn't realize that

now I gotta rewatch it

Was not expecting that. They're great.

FallenAngelEyes

11:23 PM

I saw the water flowing weirdly but for some reason it didn't click

is 'flummoxed' British slang for vomit?

FallenAngelEyes

I've only ever heard that used to mean you're confused

@NickT I was always under the impression that it meant confused

yeah

but in that song it sounds like "flummoxed over my rental tux"

@MarcoCeppi Also, why is it a 15-player server? :O

11:24 PM

actually it's vomits, nvm

it sounds different in the downloaded MP3

@Powerlord Because I'm still trying to get it setup <3

@MarcoCeppi Why not 16, so the teams are even? :P

Because I hate even teams :)

So, anyway, for those who are interested, I have a pair of 24-player TF2 servers. :P

Suddenly Metal Gear Online decides to work... Wow

15% done the update. This only took... months

11:27 PM

Which, for whatever reason, only have 3 and 4 players on them right now.

@Powerlord I might play in a bit once my updating finishes :P

@Powerlord IP's of the servers?

psst @MarcoCeppi there's a required update for the TF2 server

I'm not sure why I bookmarked OCR Red when I like random spread and damage and crits etc

Red's 173.212.246.228:27015 though

yeah, trying to install it. I guess running ./srcds again won't do it

blu.ocrtf2.com and red.ocrtf2.com. I hate dealing with IPs, so I gave them DNS names.

PREPARING TO LAUNCH TF2

11:29 PM

:P

Awesome

@Mana Which server are you going to? Lets play!

@Mana Calm down cowboy, you have at least 5 mins of tutorials before you

Remember to join the Stack Exchange steam group ;)

Hurray! I'm not going to be completely incompetent!

Haha, thanks to the new Steam friends tab, I can see Mana playing :O

Doh, need to run ./steam

11:30 PM

@MarcoCeppi Pretty sure the linux server updater binary is ./steam... yeah.

./steam -command update -game tf -dir whatever (for me, it's . because I'm lazy and TF2 creates the orangebox and hl2 directories anyway)

FallenAngelEyes

@Mana I think one of the main reasons I've never really gotten into her is that her body of work is huge so I don't know where to start

yeah, ./steam -command update -game tf -dir server

The game is at 9% on my desktop. I may be able to play tonight!

Server am update

PS3 is hogging all my bandwidth... I'll play with you guys soon :P

@FallenAngelEyes My initial readthrough of this message for whatever reason skipped over 'of work'

tf2.stackgaming.com

FallenAngelEyes

11:32 PM

@badp Hahaha

Oh blah, routing was doing so well between me and my servers last week, now I'm back to nearly 100ms between me and my servers.

How is @Mana's download coming?

@GraceNote Done

It is done. And now the game is being weird and slow.

@GraceNote How is GraceNote's download coming?

11:33 PM

Ahha

Oh wait, right...

Huh, the icons on my taskbar have vanished.

you open enough things to use multiple rows?

I actually mean the little icons next to the timestamp. Which the only important ones are my connectivity, power, and USB

They're... invisible.

@RavenDreamer things like tf2-sniper could be genuinely useful though

usually "tray icons"

FallenAngelEyes

11:36 PM

Did explorer crash?

Are they invisible, as in taking up space but not showing the icon or just not there?

#1, what OS

Tray icons, I guess

For some reason I just read that as "Numbah Von: Vaht OH Es"

Windows 7, I don't recall anything crashing

They're still there and interactable (I just reset my connection earlier, had to fumble to pick the right place), they just don't have anything visible shown.

um, I've seen this before

11:37 PM

they're not just hiding under the little >?

call vote to set a next map, then the map changes but it doesn't change to what was determined by the vote

oh, so just icons gone

The arrow is standing like 2 icon heights above the timestamp

I guess that's what @Powerlord means by dumb

Because there's two rows of icons between the timestamp and the arrow

11:38 PM

@badp That's likely interference from SourceMod.

Hah! And the arrow gives me a big white window and expects me to know what's in it.

Thank heavens for hover text

No, I called it dumb because it doesn't start the vote until 3 minutes after the first chance for map change.

It happened shortly after League of Legends flipped out on me.

At least, that's when I noticed it. Who knows how long it's been gone if it was earlier.

Because voting for the next map works so well when it doesn't happen before the map changes.

I imagine a reboot would fix it.

11:41 PM

Giving the Desktop Window Manager Session Manager service a restart might work too.

so grace, what's the actual purpose of all the meta tags

besides ruining SEO

uh

I crouch jumped onto the cart in the tunnel right after the 1st point of gold rush

as scout

now I'm stuck in the ceiling :D

huzzah

@badp are you on Windows now?

yeah, I am

I can't be bothered to get TF2 running on Linux

famitsu.com/news/201109/15050230.html <-- Yay, new Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright screens.

11:46 PM

ah, k

I still fail to understand meta-tags and why @GraceNote defends them so ferociously

@Powerlord What, hasn't that been like almost 2 years in the making?

just because they're not game tags it doesn't mean they're meta tags

FallenAngelEyes

@MarcoCeppi What's your server IP? I'll throw it in my faves

user30

@RONAN Y U NO PINGABLE?

user30

11:47 PM

but no, I haven't taken the minecraft server down

@FallenAngelEyes Just put tf2.stackgaming.com

@badp there are degrees of meta-ness

user30

also warrrrghbl.

@MarcoCeppi I'm pretty sure it was announced 6 months or so ago.

there are ones that are just so disparate between games they're pointless (@GraceNote kinda mentions it in a post, but she's way too lenient with it)

11:48 PM

@Powerlord This time last year I remember (because I was dressed as professor layton, and there was another man dressed as pheonix wright) talking about the cross over.

Good thing it's not up to Capcom whether or not Layton v. Wright comes out in North America.

They'd probably say "Not Resident Evil, not a fighting game, not getting a North American release."

I would say "not getting a release" but Japan got an Ace Attorney game earlier this year.

am I like the only one that hates meta tags?

that's what I don't get

user30

@Nick yeah, I hate them too

user30

but as soon as they get removed you get somethinglike taggate again

@NickT Meta tags are a Not Very Good Thing, generally.

11:51 PM

they are an effing crutch

but all our mods love them

...

That reminds me, has Capcom announced aany non-Resident Evil, non-fighting game, non-Monster Hunter games at TGS this year? I'm guessing no.

user30

....

so yeah the ability to charge in mid air doesn't sound very interesting

@badp Demoman had it before yesterday's update, they just added it back because it was accidentally removed.

user30

11:53 PM

anytway, I am drunk and will probably type something stupid in a while, goodnight.

4

and its removal made Demoknight completely useless against Pyro instead of something to be feared.

hum, another user on the server

pragmatically, can we view the immutability of the SE framework as a huge argument in favor of deleting weapons, game-mechanics...etc

money experience mobs

items

ooh, combat

I swear, I bet I could tag all the questions with like 10

and what would that accomplish

WHAT WOULD THAT ACCOMPLISH

I envision a day when people won't have to even read the question before answering it

Only 30% left

I do that a fair bit already

we don't need more
