The Bridge

1:39 AM

@MBraedley I checked Bulbapedia, and I think the edit is wrong

But I'm not sure

FAE

2:09 AM

@Wipqozn That is awesome.

Bridge isn't very busy tonight...

Nope *yawn*

Wipqozn

@FAE I thought you'd enjoy that

>>> function a(b){  console.log(b);  }
>>> a('Hello');
Hello
>>> a(c = 'world');
world
>>> c
"world"

This actually works in JavaScript, though it doesn't quite work the way you'd expect it to work in Python cc @badp

Wipqozn

2:25 AM

@YiJiang'sEvilClone JS has so many more fun quirks than that ;)

My favorite messed up JS code

@fbueckert Bah, I've gotten to the point where there are no threats in the system :(

@SaintWacko And that's all you can do in the game, now.

Now, play X3.

And kiss your free time goodbye.

2:41 AM

@fbueckert My fleet is a Paragon battleship, and Medusa destroyer, and a Wolf frigate

Destroys everything

Well, everything pirate

Is X3 similar to this?

@SaintWacko I've taken to attacking the Tachyon, because I need more Medusae, and they don't sell them anymore.

@fbueckert I'm considering attacking the other factions

@SaintWacko To a degree. It's a first-person cockpit view when you start, and allows you to build up your own empire.

I mainly just need experience

So I can increase my fleet size

Buy factories, produce goods, hire pilots, transport goods around, etc.

2:43 AM

Sounds like what the end result of Starsector is going to be

That's more mid-game, though. At the beginning, you'll be flying around on your own, trying to save up enough to get your first factory.

Hmm, I have it, I'll have to install it

What's the difference between Albion Prelude, Reunion, and Terran Conflict?

@SaintWacko I'd recommend Albion Prelude, as it's supposed to be a mid-point between the classic X formula, and what they're planning on doing for X4.

@fbueckert Alright, downloading

About an hour left

Guess I'll try attacking the Tri-Tachyon Corporation

@SaintWacko Man, you're going to hate me as much as @AshleyNunn does. :P

2:47 AM

@fbueckert Uh-oh, that's a lot :P

@SaintWacko Indeed.

Now, back to FF V!

Oh, if it's first person, does that mean I'll need to use a mouse?

Wow, the SMAC manual comes with 25 pages of notes on astronomy and xenobiology

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Nice

What's SMAC?

@fbueckert on the last ep of chuck...

@YiJiang'sEvilClone I've heard that's really good

It's... well, it's a lot like Civ in some ways. The biggest departure I see is the way tech works

It seems like you don't directly control which direction technological advancements move towards

I'm still looking for a usable tech tree. It's quite confusing

The graphics and interface are... about as crappy as you can expect from a 13 year old game

This is what the tech tree looks like... yeah

Oh, there's an option to turn blind research off. I wonder if I should do that.

@TimStone I can't decide if that's worse than "twise" or not

The whole thing makes me cringe.

The other type of hilarious comment that seems to be strangely prevalent on these posts is the "Enraged Divorcee", where some supposed woman is ranting about how whatever poorly typed sentiment being expressed in the post is just a lie. :P

3:55 AM

@SaintWacko T'was in the year 2013...

@AshleyNunn You're watching Chuck??

user15026

@Ktash Well, not any more. Just finished the series tonight

@AshleyNunn What'd you think?

user15026

@Ktash I liked it. It changed a lot from beginning to end, but it was funny and awesome.

@AshleyNunn Yay! :D

Chuck is one of my favorites, so I love it when people like the show :)

user15026

4:00 AM

@Ktash It was pretty cool. If the whole librarian thing doesn't work out then I want to be Sarah when I grow up

user15026

Having the intersect would be cool too

Haha, yeah, it'd be useful

I'm still hoping I'll be Chuck

Definitely nerdy enough, so step 1 is complete ;)

user15026

@Ktash giggles So all you need is the intersect, and a pretty girl.

Yeah. Sadly I'm not convinced any of my college roommates could be spies...

tragic, really

user15026

@Ktash Quite unfortunate.

user15026

4:08 AM

I have as much luck becoming a really pretty super spy.

@AshleyNunn You could totally do it. Just got to practice you shooting, ninja skills, throwing abilities, foreign languages, deception, and all that other easy spy stuff

user15026

@Ktash I will stick to eating oranges and reading romance novels this evening, I think.

OMGOMGOMGOMG

@spugsley meeeep

user15026

hello

4:17 AM

@spugsley Is there a followup or is that just how you greet people now?

@AshleyNunn Psh, well, tomorrow you can start ;)

@Ktash hahaha no I wanted to show a photo I took today for my 365

sooooo I'mma do that

yup, that happened

... Scary

Also, is your right shoulder alright? It seems to be protruding funny ;)

@Ktash that's not me, lol. It's a model

user15026

@Ktash Alright, that sounds like a plan.

@fbueckert I'm now at war with everyone in the system except the Hegemony

Mainly because they have a fleet with three battleships in it o.0

4:22 AM

@spugsley Haha, I see. Well is her shoulder alright then? ;)

@Ktash lol, it's the wind you silly person

@Ktash I don't think it's a shoulder

I think it's a wing

@SaintWacko It's Sephiroth!

The One Winged Angel

@Ktash :O

@spugsley So are you doing a picture everyday then?

4:25 AM

@Ktash yup, every. single. day.

Very cool :)

I've wanted to do that in the past but never had the dedication

Are you posting it online or just for yourself?

@Ktash they are online. I'll get you the link, hold on

BEHOLD

flickr.com/photos/slpugsley/sets/72157632576063235

@spugsley Awesome :)

What travesties are you doing to that poor innocent book D:

@Ktash killing it dead :p

The horror!! D:

Also, I really like this one I think it has a good contrast

In fact, the only thing I think I would change would be to edit out the corner in the bottom right.. but I still really like it

Dunno why you didn't like that one :)

4:37 AM

@Ktash :) well, I'm glad you like. I think I could fix that corner super easily. I'll look in to it.

Wheeee, lunch time. Most of the places aren't open on the second day of Chinese New Year though

@Ktash Ahhhhhhh! That poor thing!

user15026

@SaintWacko The poor book.

user15026

Nice picture, though.

It's drawings like this that remind me I will never be an awesome artist, but I so wish I could be

4:41 AM

Awww, libraries aren't open today

user15026

@Ktash I can draw really awesome stick people.

I am debating if 11:40 pm is too late to play KH.

user15026

(mostly afraid I will stay up all night trying to beat that stupid boss)

MLP: Fighting is Magic OST playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7D331C7D2649232B

@AshleyNunn It is never too late to play KH!

user15026

4:43 AM

But since I bought Re:CoM and 358/2 days and KH:3D (so now every game but BBS is in my house) I feel compelled to keep playing them

user15026

@Ktash I like the way you think.

@AshleyNunn BBS is the best of the mobile ones... by a significant margin

user15026

@Ktash I don't own a PSP and don't want to get one just for this.

@AshleyNunn I did, and I haven't regretted it for a minute

but as a die-hard fan, I can understand I shouldn't be the example lol

@spugsley I keep staring at that photo. I really like it! Nice work :)

user15026

@Ktash My lack of money is really the problem.

Q: Does the Extra game still end

4:46 AM

It seems in the original NES version of Kirby's Adventure, turning off the console results in you losing all progress into the "extra" game where you play again with only 3 health. On Wii virtual console you could use the "save state"-ish feature to just never turn off the game, but any time the ...

kirbys-adventure-3ds

@AshleyNunn Understandable. I'd lend you mine, but I don't really want to ship a game system :/

user15026

@Ktash That is totally fair. I appreciate the gesture nonetheless!

@Ktash I am very tempted to get a PSP just for that.

@Ullallulloo DOOO ITTT!!1!!1!One

... I mean... it is a good game. I would recommend it that's a completely normal reaction

@Ktash I just need to get money and to not spend it on anything else first.

Or ask for one for a holiday.

4:49 AM

Hrump, found out a week ago I don't enjoy student concession when travelling on public transport anymore

My birthday's in a week, but I'd prioritize a phone higher probably. =/

I guess I really am an adult now

I don't really have to play BBS until KH3 comes out, which could be years. :(

user15026

I just like that it is the only one I am lackiing.

@Ullallulloo :( Don't remind me :(

user15026

4:50 AM

Maybe eventually I will see if I can get a PSP cheap somewhere.

user15026

Do the numbers after the word PSP matter any?

@Ktash hey, thanks :) that's really nice

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Welcome. Grab some prune juice and a rocking chair and join us in yelling at the noisy neighbor kids

@spugsley My Pleasure :) Thank you for sharing you pictures

@AshleyNunn It is the "version" though I have no idea what they mean really

user15026

@Ktash Okay, so I could theoretically get any one.

4:54 AM

@AshleyNunn I think... I got a 3000 but I have no idea what that means

@AshleyNunn It seems like the differences are size, weight, RAM, storage space, cost, WiFi, battery life, microphones, speakers, button locations, ports, and screen quality.

user15026

Dang people want a lot for their used ones

user15026

Well, there goes that plan.

user15026

Well, gamestop has them for $80, refurbished, which is cheaper than most ebay ones

user15026

but I would have to get the game too, and thats at least 20 bucks before shipping from ebay

user15026

5:05 AM

Its not horrible, but it isn't cheap either

and I don't know what else I would do with it

5:27 AM

I just ate a $1.85 sandwich that's suppose to be $6.50 normally. It's... not bad for a $1.85 sub. It's suppose to be chicken, but it tastes more like tuna.

I uh...I might be careful with that.

It came from Quiznos. Chicken... something. Quite spicy, which I didn't expect.

Chinese New Year promotion.

Interesting

@YiJiang'sEvilClone that seems....unnerving

> Happy Lunar New Year! Prefer CNY goodies with a difference? Try our sensational 6” Honey Bourbon Chicken subs at only $1.88 each!

user15026

5:32 AM

@ktash I JUST KILLED OOGIE BOOGIE (both parts)!!!!!!

What is "Honey Bourbon" anyway?

@AshleyNunn Yahoo! Congrats :)

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Bourbon sauce with honey.

Bourbon sauce is something like a mix of ketchup, soy sauce, garlic, and red pepper (with some other sauce-y things)

Can't say I like the taste - it's too spicy - but for that price, it's not bad :P

Too spicy?! There's no such thing.

Although it really shouldn't be that spicy.

5:37 AM

I can't take chilli. At all.

Curry makes me sweat so much.

That is unfortunate

uhhhh all this talk about curry makes me want to eat PANEERRRRRRRR

user15026

@Ktash But now there is no where for me to go next...

I want all the paneer in the world

give it to me

@spugsley OM NOM NOM

5:41 AM

@AshleyNunn You mean a next world?

Chili, as in, the spice, not the dish.

user15026

@Ktash Yeah

@AshleyNunn ... Ummm, you might need to go back to traverse town

I don't remember

Although I'm sure I can't eat the dish either

Also, did you seal the world by talking to Jack?

user15026

5:42 AM

@Ktash Maybe not.

@AshleyNunn Might try that

I think Neverland is the last world (if I remember correctly)

user15026

@Ktash I apparently have to do Atlantica too, but it isn't on the map

@SaintWacko Thoughts on X3?

@fbueckert Haven't tried it yet

Having too much fun fighting TTS

@SaintWacko Wee, beams!

5:45 AM

I now have an Aurora cruiser

I really want another Paragon

or one of the elite carriers

Too bad they don't seem to restock ships. :/

@fbueckert Yeah they do

Just not very quickly

The supply fleets bring in ships

But only a couple each run

And usually the smaller ones

TTS ships are my favorite

@SaintWacko Not nearly fast enough for my taste.

The only HSS ship I have is an Atlas superfreighter, to hold all my loot

If they'd make Cruiser+ versions of the Medusae, I'd be happy, happy.

5:49 AM

@fbueckert Yeah, I skipped cruisers because I couldn't find one like the Medusa/Wolf

The Paragon is the capital version of the Medusa, though

Which is why I want another one

@SaintWacko Eh? I might have to check that out.

@fbueckert Oh, you haven't tried it yet?

It's amazing

I can take on an entire pirate carrier group with just a Paragon

Q: How do I de-lock away from enemies?

I'm fairly new to the Assassins Creed series, and one thing that's been bugging me like crazy is locking on to enemies. Sometimes, when I'm running away from guards, I end up accidently locking on to one of them, making me unable to run around at my leisure. How do I get rid of lock on?

assassins-creed-2

@SaintWacko I only have an Odyssey class capital ship from them.

I don't think I've ever seen a Paragon.

5:54 AM

@fbueckert Is that the big bubbly one?

user15026

@Ktash Judging by the pirate ship in front of me I suspect I am ending up in Neverland before Atlantica.

user15026

I wonder if that matters.

@SaintWacko It's long.

Lots of weaponry, but turning's a pain.

@AshleyNunn You beat Oogie Boogie? =D

user15026

@Fluttershy I did. Took me quite a while, but I did it!

5:55 AM

@fbueckert Their station has one of those, but I prefer the Paragon

@SaintWacko Yeah, no Paragons in stock.

4 large, 4 med, 9 sm energy

2 med universal

4 sm missile

I did buy a giant Onslaught, though. Thing's slow as molasses, but it ends fights it gets to.

I don't use the missiles, I just have one reaper torpedo in it so I can select that weapon group and let all the lasers be on autofire

I bought an Onslaught, but didn't like it much

It's sitting in the abandoned station

@AshleyNunn Congratulations!

user15026

5:57 AM

Neverland is going to have to wait until I can sit up for longer.

@SaintWacko Definitely going to need a Paragon, then.

user15026

@Fluttershy Thanks. I was so proud of myself. :P I almost wanted to throw the controller, but I stuck with it.

user15026

I think having all the games made me super excited to get through them again

@Fluttershy HAI

@fbueckert HI

@fbueckert Yep

5:58 AM

@spugsley Evening!

@spugsley Hullo, lady.

@AshleyNunn This could be.

@AshleyNunn No, it won't matter

I lost my Medusa in a battle with three TTS caps, so now I have my Paragon, an Aurora, and my Wolf

A friend of mine is gonna let me borrow one of his PSPs so I can play Birth By Sleep!

user15026

@Ktash oh good

user15026

5:59 AM

@Fluttershy That is so awesome

user15026

I might get one eventually - gamestop sells them for 80 bucks, and I am sure I can find other things I would play on it

@AshleyNunn Patapon.

user15026

@Fluttershy Oh, shit, yes.

@Fluttershy Good game!

user15026

I might ask for one for my birthday, or something, in the summer

6:02 AM

@fbueckert So I hear. If Sony could ever figure out their PSN store page on their site, I could potentially get it on the Vita. Until them, I'm stuck trying to borrow a PSP.

Huh.

KH, please stop taking my money without giving me new games...

user15026

@TimStone Weird. But I kinda want one

I had the same thought :D

@Ktash It's because of their not releasing KH3 that I refuse to pay for any of the spin-offs.

6:08 AM

@SaintWacko Ooh, an Astral class carrier.

@fbueckert WHAT

@Fluttershy I would make a new rule that I will not give them any more money until KH3, but the rumor is that that is the next game anyway ... eventually :/

user15026

@Fluttershy What do you consider spinoffs?

You captured one?

@SaintWacko ...except it retreated. Dammit.

6:09 AM

@AshleyNunn Anything that's not Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts 2, or Kingdom Hearts 3.

@fbueckert Oh, you just saw one...

@AshleyNunn Any non-numbered game in my book

Yeah, I've destroyed a few

Also, just tabbed out at the beginning of a battle and got distracted...

user15026

@Fluttershy Fair enough. I like the games too much, and I know NO ONE who plays who is local enough, so I was like eh, whatever, I will buy them.

It's been six years since Kingdom Hearts 2. Six!

6:10 AM

The end results... 4 enemy ships destroyed and the other two retreated :D

There's no excuse for them to not have released 3 by now...

@Fluttershy KH 3DS was released on the 10 year anniversary of the first game :(

The chart on the right hand side here really tells it all

@Ktash They're wasting our time with countless spin-offs and remakes and whatnot... It's annoying.

Man, Tachyon are murder on fighters.

@fbueckert I didn't like them much

user15026

6:12 AM

@Fluttershy Eh, I still think they are fun. I think I am in the minority for thinking that the spinoffs are fine.

I have a couple, but I prefer high intensity lasers

@AshleyNunn It wouldn't be so bad if they'd just release some information... All they've said pretty much equates to, "The team behind KH is too busy making this other sequel to this much, much crappier game. Sorry!"

I'm fine with spin offs as long as they don't stop making the regular games

user15026

@Fluttershy Yeah, I don't know why they are doing it the way they are. Maybe they just don't have a good enough story.

Have they killed that FF13 yet?

6:14 AM

I'm hoping Final Fantasy Versus XIII is just a code name for Kingdom Hearts III...

@Fluttershy If it is, that'll be the biggest trick Squeenix has ever made.

@Ktash There are two more games coming out in the FF13 universe. Lightning Returns, and Versus XIII.

user15026

I think I generally have a more....forgiving attitude than a lot of people - I play games SO slowly, and I am generally years and years behind, that I am just happy when games I like get made.

@Fluttershy They announced Versus XIII years ago... they either need to release it or kill it

user15026

especially on consoles.

6:18 AM

@fbueckert Yay, TTS just launched a big fleet!

user15026

I have never really understood the draw of Final Fantasy.

All of this is just depressing me more. I'm going to go read and go to bed... Night all

@Fluttershy But it has cars and guns and magic sword walls and pretty graphics. D:

Aslo, go vote on games we should marathon if you haven't already

> As of November 2012, Final Fantasy Versus XIII has been in development for exactly seven years. As a result, it currently holds the record for the longest amount of time ever spent developing a single Final Fantasy game

user15026

@Ktash Night! Enjoy your book or whatever! :)

6:20 AM

And my evening just got super depressing... I'm out

@Ktash I think they probably switched it to the PS4 sometime.

Besides redoing it from scratch a few times probably or something.

user15026

Okay, high pain levels indicate it is time for pajamas and lying down. Ouch.

@Ktash Duke Nukem Forever beats it, I think. But it's not a Final Fantasy, so it doesn't count.

Because he's a fucking retard. I have never seen anyone on the internet (besides the kardashians) that ignorant about social and cultural stereotype

"She's a "divisive" character because the character is actively racist."

Reading the entire article made me want to punch the guy in the face

"Character is racist because its like urban folk"

>implying all black folk talk like that

>inherently racist within it's own

That is pretty much

the definition of ignorance

and he even goes on to say that "I never said anything"

What is going on?

Uh...I was revisiting an old article

about some guy who thinks Tiny Tina is racist

and I was scrolling through his tweets to see how much of a dumbass he was

and then I saw a conversation between him and LessPopMoreFizz
