Because they are your most reliable resources to get stuff done.
 
@AshleyNunn doesn't liking your job carry with it the terrible curse of caring?
 
From my perspective, though, if you want to keep improving, job jumping is the best way to go about it.
 
user15026
@badp Caring about how well I do the job, yes, caring if I advance up teh ladder, not so much
 
@Sterno I wish we had a bit more of a formalized progression model here.
I wear so many hats, and I'd like to have something to point to and go, "My value to the company is much greater than I'm getting paid. I'd like a bigger piece of that pie."
Because these salary comparison sites don't seem to have anything you can really latch onto and use to justify a raise.
 
@AshleyNunn I'm afraid the first naturally leads towards the second
 
3:04 PM
@badp The second can happen without the first, though, and that's where Dilbert levels of management come into play.
 
After all, if you care about doing X well, at some point you'll probably want to change how X is done.
 
WHY WON'T IT DIE
OH GOD
 
@badp Doing well may lead to advancing the ladder, but I don't think that caring about the first leads to the latter all that often.
 
user15026
@badp Not in my experience,for myself, but that might change. Who knows, been so long since I had a "proper job" that wasn't like....work-study
 
@GraceNote Changing how X is done may not be part of your job description
 
user15026
3:05 PM
@badp Yes and no. I am content with not being in control of stuff.
 
@badp Depends a lot on what X is.
 
@GraceNote X = 5
 
@JasonBerkan Pretty sure that's V.

Q: How to get past the ceiling monster?

ParrotParrotI understand that the trick would be to pass over the eggs and use anti-grav potions but i have no idea how to jump.

Q: How to pass the jellyfish?

Pol0niumI'm getting killed by the jellyfish that you can find when jumping into the sea and can't beat them. What is the trick? I used potions etc... They just deal too much damage.

@BenBrocka puts up an umbrella
 
TEAPOT TO 33%. TEAPOT.
TEAPOT
 
3:34 PM
I must assume you have one really nice umbrella there.
Also fredley's sprung a leak.
 
user15026
@GraceNote It's a special teapot repellent umbrella
 
Fancy fancy
 
I'm getting very annoyed that my cell phone doesn't work on the 21st floor of an office building. Shouldn't signals go up as well as out?
 
@Wipqozn I'd be proud of those kids.
 
Y'know, after they finished hurting each other.
 
user15026
Apparently, on average, the happiest years of your life are your 30s

@AshleyNunn You're pretty much awesome.
 
user15026
@Wipqozn I am just EXCITED to GO on an AIRPLANE and it makes me want to make pterodactyl noises but apparently that sort of screeching is DISRUPTIVE or something
 
@AshleyNunn Have you tried it though?
Maybe the class will welcome it, and the Professor will give you a cookie.
 
user15026
@Wipqozn I doubt that, because it is totally an annoying noise.
 
You won't know until you try.
 
user15026
3:47 PM
@Wipqozn If I get tossed out of Forms of Fantasy, I am blaming you
 
There. Ignored and now my front page is full of less awful questions.
 
@Fluttershy hOW TO GET MORE CANDY?
 
@AshleyNunn First time?

@GraceNote Yeah, does it show? :P
 
@OrigamiRobot Squirrel Help?

In your own special way.

Q: How can I speed up the rate at which my health recovers?

kalinaEach encounter results in your health getting reduced as you take damage. Your health automatically regenerates outside of an encounter (ie: on the map or in the inventory) but this regenerates quite slow and doesn't appear to scale with increased health. How can I speed up the rate at which my ...

 
@AshleyNunn As you should. It is one.

@GraceNote Yay! muppet flail

Being sick sucks
 
user15026
@Powerlord It does :(
 
user15026
3:51 PM
sends soup and tea and other stuff to fix sick
 
@AshleyNunn Yeah, I'm not eating anything at the moment.
 
user15026
@Powerlord Oh, yuck, that super sucks. :( :( :(
 
@AshleyNunn Excellent.
 
I mean, it's been like 8 hours since I puked, but I don't want to take chances.
 
@Powerlord Hot chicken soup works wonders for a shaky stomach.
 
3:52 PM
A thousand views in 2 hours.. okay
 
@Fluttershy Holy crap. It's the entire front page.
 
user15026
I am scared to look
 
I figured since I was sick I could at least play Phoenix Wright... but it hasn't been put on the eShop yet.
 
user15026
@Powerlord Booo :(
 
Also, everyone should buy Europa Univeraslis VI so we can all talk about how awesome it is in chat so @OrigamiRobot wastes money on a game he doesn't have time to play.
 
3:54 PM
taxonomist in a day
yay

TEAPOT
 
@3ventic I was saying earlier, I find it funny how candy box 2 is generating more questions per hour than grand theft auto 5 did

Q: What are the outcomes of throwing items in the wishing well?

kalinaIn the bottom left of the world map there is a wishing well. By visiting it, it looks like you can throw items into the well, and presumably, make a wish... What are the outcomes of throwing items in the wishing well?

 
Oh, right, I forgot about portugals war. It wants me to join.
Bah, what to do.
well let's just see everyone involved in the war...
 
This song is so weird.

@Wipqozn Are you and France still friends?
 
(I just played through that game earlier this week)
 
@AshleyNunn Let me check!
We're currently rivals.
France can't make up it's damn about whether or not it likes me.
 
user15026
That was a short friendship
 
We still have a royal marriage though.
 
@Wipqozn They're probably upset that you keep misspelling marraige.

@JasonBerkan You're crazy. Stop talking crazy.

@AshleyNunn I feel like that's from a TV show or movie but I have no idea which one.
 
@Wipqozn Seriously? Other than "inconceivable", it has to be the most oft-quoted part of The Princess Bride.
 
4:00 PM
I've never actually seen the The Princess Bride.
waits to be shunned
 
Fix that. Now.
 
@Wipqozn You really, really, should.
 
user15026
@Wipqozn You should fix that, it is pretty awesome
 
Stop playing games. It's on Netflix.
 
I hear it's good, but I've never seen it.
One day I'll watch it.
I don't have Netflix.
 
4:00 PM
@Wipqozn First month is free...
 
But then I need to sign up and everything.
My aunt/uncle down the road have it. I'll just borrow their living room one day.
 
@Wipqozn shun
 
I think it's time to begin the shunning.
 
shuuuuun
 
@Wipqozn /shun
 
4:02 PM
And I lied. It's been pulled from Netflix. sigh
 
FAE
@JasonBerkan Why would that be pulled? D:
 
1% TEAPOT
 
@FAE Same reason everything gets pulled - they think they can get more money with it available elsewhere.
 
My cat is loving all the leaves outside blowing around.

I FOUND A GIANT SPOOON!
 
FAE
I have very little experience with Netflix. Never had it in the US and only just got it here in the Netherlands a bit over a month ago.
 
@OrigamiRobot Oh no, that's worst than a regular shun!
@FAE I'm at war with the netherlands right now!
 
user15026
4:05 PM
@fredley My SPOON is too BIG
 
Portugal is trying to show of it's superiority or some non-sense, so I got dragged in due to the alliance.
 
FAE
@Wipqozn Willem van Oranje?
 
All of @fredley's vocal agony makes me smile as I see the next Candy Box 2 question on the site.
 
@FAE No, stadholder laurens I.
It's not the Dutch revolt.
Portugal is just being a jerk.

Q: Is there a way to destroy the teapot?

DertrasIs there any easy way to destroy the teapot or do i just have to wait? I`m currently using my scythe, crown with jaspers and red gloves.

 
I have ignored until I can go home and play it.
 
@FEichinger Okay, that's acceptable then.
 
@fbueckert Should probably ignore Lazers for the time being as well.
 
4:08 PM
@GraceNote Meh. It's not that huge a deal.
 
I've got drawn into a lot of wars that I can never do anytihng in. France never gives me military access so I can never reach the rest of europa unless I take a boat, but transferring my whole armor is a soemwhat slow process.
 
I just don't want to be tempted to play it at work.
 
Yay, restarted the eShop app and now Phoenix Wright has a purchase button
 
Plus some of the nations are in-land so I can't even reach them by boat.
 
What about a landboat?
 
user15026
4:09 PM
@Powerlord yaaaaaaay
 
@Wipqozn Can you build a Skyranger?
 
Also, the Netherlands is bloody huge over in the Americas.
@JasonBerkan This isn't skydrift.
The Netherlands basically took over all of MExico, and all of Atlantic Canada.
lololol, I just noticed that Quebec is considered a Wasteland.
I find that amusing.

Q: How to kill the Developer

Candymanguys, how should I kill the developer? He constantly kills me with his third attack. Tried to kill him with turtle and berserk potions using Otopus fireball crown and scythe.

@spugsley What's in NY?
 
@spugsley Have a nice trip

@AshleyNunn yuuuup. 12 hour drive
not including stops or traffic
AND I don't want to hit Jersey at rush hour

@AshleyNunn well, my mom is going too so it'll be the two of us taking turns driving. Now as long as we can avoid talking about politics or religion, we should be good to go :)

Q: How do I beat myself?

fredleyI have made an X potion, but I can't seem to beat myself. I've checked with the sorceress, she can't help. What should I do to beat myself?

 
It's ncie that the netherlands left their colonies over in the americas completely undefended.
 
user15026
@spugsley That makes it better. :)
 
@Blem Bwuh?
Didn't they explain that as the massive import taxes Brazil has?
 
That article seems sketchy.
 
you don't say ;)
did you read the message it was a reply to?

@fbueckert Yeah, it's satire, looks like. From the same website

Played 7th Guest again just recently... I'd forgotten how difficult some of the puzzles were.

@Powerlord Yeah, I saw that and thought you might be interested.
 
Pro Tip if anyone plays The 7th Guest: The rug in the Knox's bedroom is the layout of the basement maze.
 
4:29 PM
that awkward moment when people suddenly start calling you asking wtf happened
 
@Powerlord Did you play The 7th Guest recently because it was on Steam, or just because?
 
aaand, I'm done with that.

Q: Can you kill the Dessert birds?

BatophobiaWhen going through the desert, there are birds flying over head. Can you kill these? Do you get anything for doing so?

 
@kalina No, the government actually made MMORPGs ille-- OF COURSE IT IS
 
It's America, it wouldn't surprise me
 
Plants vs. Zombies 2 is apparently on Android now.
 
4:32 PM
-.-
 
Oky, a way out.
yeah yeah, you're made at me portugal for making a seperate peace, I don't care.
 
I keep thinking I should go get lunch, but if I was just sick a few hours ago (well, like 9 by now) I'm not sure if that's a good idea.
 
NExt time you decide to go around showing you're superior to someone make sure you're actually superior.
TRying to show off and then failing is just pathetic.
The only battles you won were battles I won over in the americas.
 
@Powerlord just don't over do it and you should be fine :) No greasy cheeseburgers, etc
 
user15026
@Powerlord It is, and it is pretty fun
 
user15026
4:34 PM
@Powerlord Plain food, eaten slowly? :)
 
The thing is, I'm not sure if the reason I was sick was because I overdid it on Ibuprofen or what.
 
@Wipqozn you're taking this game awfully personal
 
(I had a nasty headache yesterday)
 
@kalina IT is personal! Stupid people trying to get Spain wrapped up in your fights.
The Spanish people don't have time for such non-sense!
 
yep, way too serious
 
4:36 PM
@kalina I don't know if you're one to tell other people they're taking a game too seriously...
 
@Unionhawk I don't know what you mean, at all
 
user15026
@Powerlord If you eat slowly and stick with plain stuff at first, you should be alright. Having done the whole rot my stomach with painkillers thing, it usually keeps me from wanting to throw up all over again
 
Crap, we only have 30 seconds to capture this control point! Crap, a frenchman who can magically disguise as other people just killed our Medic (who has a magic healing beam)!

Q: How can I preserve a Jungle that was generated with Corruption inside it?

cloudymusicIn my world, the Jungle was generated with multiple large veins of Corruption running right down the center of it, as well as throughout the Underground Jungle. I'm interested in preserving as much as my Jungle as possible as I transition into Hardmode, and would like to take whatever steps I can...

 
Mmm, good old TF2.
 
user15026
@FAE Yes these!
 
FAE
@AshleyNunn I still remember that from having the stomach flu in 2nd grade.
 
@FAE I think I only have at most two of those in the house right now... last banana I ate as part of lunch yesterday.
 
FAE
@Powerlord Bananas will coat your stomach a bit, which can help.
 
4:39 PM
@FAE I had the flu twice last year, you'd think I'd remember this. Incidentally, guess who now decided that getting flu shots was probably a good idea?
and by twice last year I mean at most a month apart.
 
@Powerlord Do you have any Ginger Ale or regular ginger
 
FAE
@Powerlord Ouch.
 
@GnomeSlice Nope.
 
@Powerlord That can be helpful on your stomach

Q: Candy box 2 - the cave

user58016I got 2 questions for u:) 1) I've heard that the octopus king will drop his crown upon dying, but killed him many times and I see no crown :/ 2) How do I beat the naked monkey wizzard? it seems to be impossible since everytime i run past him and teleport back in front of him, he just jump over ...

 
If I had a kitchen, I would get food without pants on. But I don't. Sigh.
 
if the floor of my kitchen wasn't covered in broken plates and glass, I would go get food without body armour on
 
That sounds like a personal problem... that... you should probably correct at some point.
 
4:46 PM
Total Biscuit had another of his review videos pulled from Youtube.
 
it has been corrected
for a brief period of time after returning home my emotions completely overruled my sensibilities, and breaking glass and plates is so good for correcting that
 
@Powerlord Oh dear god. What poor developer is going to get an internet shitstorm now?
 
it's so cathartic
 
FAE
@kalina I'd probably recommend less permanent damage.
 
@Unionhawk Whomever made Day One Garry's Incident.
 
4:48 PM
@Powerlord Wait, again? That was back up yesterday
 
Wild Games Studio
 
@FAE I had enough sense to not break all of the electronics, plates are easily and cheaply replaceable

Q: Do pain au chocolats stack?

fredleyI've thrown 3 pain au chocolats down the well, and spent one on each upgrade. If I were to throw another down, would the effects stack?

 
and... well, broken
it saves cleaning/packing them, that's a positive
 
FAE
My apartment is not large enough to deal with broken dishes and glasses and such. I have no separate kitchen, so I risk shards flying out into the living room and landing in a console or PC tower or something.
 
@GnomeSlice I think we'd all prefer an Earthworm Jim game
 
4:50 PM
@kalina Better to go find the annoying neighbor that lets their dog poop on your lawn, and poop on theirs instead.
 
@FAE 3 floor house
@Sterno eww
 
@BenBrocka I dunno, apparently Boogerman was pretty good
 
also, I don't have a lawn
 
Woo, double damage claw
 
FAE
@kalina We have a bedroom, small storage room, and a living room with a half-kitchen (and WC and showers as separate small rooms, also not big enough for a bathtub :( ).
 
4:51 PM
@kalina So you're moving, too?
 
@FAE I've lived someplace similar before
except mine had a bath
but yeah the kitchen was "in" the living area
I don't have to see the mess I made, therefore it doesn't exist
 
@FAE my sister only recently got a place with a separate kitchen in CA. I'd go nuts
 
I will sort it out another day
 
City stuff is...bleh
 
@Sterno yep
first stage of backup plan = get the hell out of this shithole house/village
I am making the super awkward move of moving in with an ex-boyfriend temporarily
 
FAE
4:53 PM
@kalina I'd kill someone for a bathtub.
 
@FAE Then you'd have a place to get rid of the body, too.
Moving sucks.
 
FAE
@Sterno Exactly.
 
@Sterno I'm applying my destructive mood to the entire moving process
 
I want to get a new house but every time I think about it seriously, I remember it involves having to move everything.
 
I am literally going to bin 60% of the stuff in this house
I've always wanted to see what happens when you throw an LCDTV out of a third story window
 
4:54 PM
@kalina I did that when I moved out of my first apartment. My friends all thought I was crazy. I wish I'd done that EVERY move
 
so that will happen sometime this weekend
 
I accumulate so much crap I don't need.
 
There's no more point in Candy Box 2 when you have 105% cooldown reduction..
 
@kalina Fun things happen. We threw SO MUCH stuff out the 5th floor window last year.
 
@3ventic srsly?

kinda

Q: How do you kill the devil?

fredleyCurrently as soon as I reach him I get destroyed. I've tried ranged attacks, summoning, teleporting, and using my massive enchanted spoon, but to no avail. What is the tactic for beating the devil?

 
FAE
@kalina Could still donate it maybe?
 
@fredley Well...
 
I'm pretty much going to pack up my computers and my clothes and smash or burn everything else
 
@3ventic hax?
 
4:56 PM
Save editing
 
@FAE I live in the middle of a field, miles from everywhere
it would be more hassle for somebody to pick it up than it's worth
 
FAE
Ah.
 
I have boxes and boxes of old computer parts
I'm just going to bin all of those too
I'm probably never going to use my wii again so that can go
I have a sofa that I'm actually going to set fire to
 
Oh, are we talking about moving? Who's moving?
 
@kalina I'll take it
