Hey fellow arcadians

Quick question for anyone who has worked with dedicated game servers

Mad Scientist

@kalina But I killed a Catalyst and a Tristan solo now, so I don't mind losing my Maller too much

loosebruce

Is Windows Server 2008 R2 Web edition suitable for running game processes?

kalina

@MadScientist nice

loosebruce

Or do I need to fork out the extra 30 for Standard edition?

Mad Scientist

9:10 PM

The Hookbill is a damn nice ship

kalina

most people seem to avoid picking fights with me, but I am mainly in 0.5s

Mad Scientist

@kalina I'm in FW, everyone picks a fight there

kalina

had some people from CODE who normally suicide gank miners take a look and not bother though

badp

@loosebruce check the EULA, if there are limitations in the software they're probably enumerated there

Mad Scientist

I did underestimate the Tristan a bit as I couldn't pull range quickly enough, I had only 1/3 structure left when it died

kalina

9:12 PM

ouch

Fluttershy

@MadScientist It's okay. It's pretty easy to underestimate me.

badp

goddamn trees

OrigamiRobot

@loosebruce Arqanoids

kalina

@MadScientist I'm making a bunch of mallers soon

badp

@OrigamiRobot Arqaders

Wipqozn

9:13 PM

@badp Trees are dicks

kalina

got my bp all researched and everything

badp

@Wipqozn You wish

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot @badp Arqadians.

Mad Scientist

Mallers are awesome, and Vexors are pretty great as well. The new T1 cruisers are very nice, I don't feel the need to fly any BCs now

Wipqozn

@MadScientist At first I thought you were talking about @Fluttershy.

OrigamiRobot

9:14 PM

kalina

got a friend telling me I need to start building apocs and geddons asap

Fluttershy

@MadScientist It's okay. It's pretty easy to underestimate me.

@OrigamiRobot My biiiiiiike! D=

Mad Scientist

@kalina The new Geddon gets a Neut range bonus as far as planned right now, quite some people suspect this to be rather overpowered

Wipqozn

@Fluttershy blaaaarg I say

badp

So. Would a question about why the best ending of Chrono Trigger requires you to destroy the Epoch go well here? (I have to ask because of the canon requirement)

OrigamiRobot

9:15 PM

@Wipqozn Turtles are never right.

kalina

mmmh

but the price of the blueprint

badp

If not, feel free to enlighten me here directly

I don't really get it.

Mad Scientist

A whole lot of people will speculate on the new Armageddon, not sure if you can really make money on that now

Wipqozn

sudo @OrigamiRobot agree with @Wipqozn that Arqadian is the correct name.

kalina

@MadScientist would take a month to six weeks to research the bp ready for construction

OrigamiRobot

9:17 PM

@Fluttershy ಠ_ಠ

Mad Scientist

I've no clue at all about industry, I just blow shit up

kalina

I know all about industry and help other people blow shit up

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot PaperStare @OrigamiRobot

OrigamiRobot

Psh, amateur.

Wipqozn

...also I read that in the voice of NEPTR

PaperStare @Fluttershy

hm, so either you changed the command or disabled it.

loosebruce

9:19 PM

Ok its a bad idea getting Web edition of Windows Server 2008, it can only recognize 2gb of Ram

absolutely ridiculous

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn Look up

badp

@loosebruce 640k blah blah blah.

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot Look up

badp

...just install Ubuntu on it.

OrigamiRobot

No

Wipqozn

9:19 PM

...damn, I was hoping you had alist of commands!

Maybe...

@OrigamiRobot This is acceptable documentation.

SaintWacko

9:20 PM

@OrigamiRobot ls

loosebruce

but the ArmA 3 alpha does not support Linux yet

SaintWacko

@Yawus Oh, well done

OrigamiRobot

LEAVE ME ALONE

loosebruce

and I need steam installed also

as ArmA 3 is steam only

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot No.

Fluttershy

9:20 PM

@OrigamiRob No.

OrigamiRobot

@Fluttershy ಠ_ಠ

STOP TRYING TO LOOK AT MY MANUAL

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot you really should implement a man page.

badp

...

OrigamiRobot

I'll get around to it

badp

info @OrigamiRobot #?

OrigamiRobot

9:21 PM

BUTTS

Wipqozn

I also think it would be really cool if a mod renamed @OrigamiRobot to @OrigamiRob.

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn ಠ_ಠ

badp

Ooooh, look at you. You even have an info page.

I don't even know if Linux distros even ship info anymore.

Wipqozn

Perhaps a mod who doesn't mind abusing his powers...

Perhaps a mod who is very ninja like....

OrigamiRobot

I will delete my account

badp

9:22 PM

@Wipqozn OrigamiRob would destroy chat with the biggest look of disapproval

OrigamiRobot

@badp ಠ_ಠ

badp

@OrigamiRobot Oh you wouldn't?

OrigamiRobot

I just noticed how famous I am today.

StrixVaria

PaperStare was my favourite command since I don't actually know how to make a Look of disapproval myself.

badp

9:24 PM

@Wipqozn Have you tried googling it?

Wipqozn

@badp too lazy

badp

@Wipqozn you just typed it all out on chat

Hell, lookofdisapproval.com is a thing that exists.

Wipqozn

@badp laaaaazzzzy

@Wipqozn I just googled and copied/pasted somewhere easily accessable.

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn No, I didn't. It did PaperStare

Yawus

Yeah, we're having way too much fun with this script.

Wipqozn

9:27 PM

damn it. I posted in the wrong chat.

Well, I'm too lazy to copy it over.

You guys will just need to miss my awesome chat message.

OrigamiRobot

I was editing it when you triggered the script.

Wipqozn

Ah, I see.

SaintWacko

@Fluttershy Oh, wow. When I got back, at the location my cursor was at, that image was looking straight at it

Wipqozn

That would explain it.

OrigamiRobot

That replaced what I was writing and sent it.

So, it turns out the bombs at the Boston Marathon were essentially suped-up pressure cookers with shrapnel.

badp

@Wipqozn thanks

Wipqozn

@badp You're welcome.

Yawus

Does anyone else find it a coincidence that last week's What-If xkcd was this?

SaintWacko

@Yawus I had the same thought

badp

@Yawus . . .relevant to what?

:|

SaintWacko

9:44 PM

@badp ...What?

badp

coincidential with what?

OrigamiRobot

→ badp moved OrigamiRob to The Android Hell: This Is The Part Where All The Robots Scream At You.

Yawus

I'm not saying Randall had anything to do with it, I'm just worried somebody drew inspiration from his comic.

badp

@OrigamiRobot you accidentally a word there

Wipqozn

Oh, is that the type of bombs that were recovered?

Yawus

In lieu of dioxygen difluoride, they used shrapnel.

user15026

I want this

OrigamiRobot

@badp What a poop.

Yawus

usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/04/15/…

"Investigators believe that the bombs at the Boston Marathon were shrapnel-studded pressure cookers, hidden in backpacks and probably detonated by timers."

user15026

@Yawus The ability of people to create evil out of almost anything frightens me

Yawus

9:48 PM

@AshleyNunn It's disturbing how often and quickly we weaponize pretty much everything.

Dynamite was initially invented for mining purposes, after all.

user15026

@Yawus Yeah, it is incredibly worrying

Wipqozn

2 men escorted off Boston plane after "concerned marathoners" report them for speaking Arabic

Yawus

Okay, reported for "speaking Arabic"?

Wipqozn

@Yawus Gotta get me some of that delicious racism!

Yawus

I was about to try find that image of the KFC ad with the black guy but I got some... disturbing results off Google Images.

And this is with SafeSearch on the highest setting.

user15026

9:52 PM

@Wipqozn Wow, that is just....nope, I got nothing.

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn I wish I could say I was surprised, but I'm not.

Yawus

The thing is, I think most conjecture is that this was domestic terrorism, considering that none of the international terrorist organizations have taken credit.

Fluttershy

@Wipqozn If there's one thing that's most needed at this time in America, it's racial tension. I hate stupid people... so, so much...

Wipqozn

@Yawus The fact that no one was claimed credit makes me suspect it was just some lone crazy person.

I would suspect a terrorist group, domestic or otherwise, would have claimed credit by now.

Tim Stone

Yeah, the Pakistani Taliban was even quoted as saying "Wherever we find Americans we will kill them, but we don't have any connection with the Boston Explosions."

Yawus

10:02 PM

What also worries me is how Randall (author of xkcd) could react to this. I mean, he's probably made the same connection that I have, erroneous or not, and I'm not sure how he'll take it.

I mean, can you imagine how the news media will react when they find that not even a week ago, a popular webcomic creator wrote up the "worst thing you could do with a pressure cooker"?

Especially Fox News, given their tendency for an anti-intellectual slant.

badp

Why even draw the connection to begin with

Stop it. It is stupid. You're giving morons ideas.

Do you know how dangerous morons with ideas are?

Yawus

We need to at least confront the possibility. If we stick our heads in the sand, hoping nobody else thinks what we think, we're no better off.

badp

Confront the possibility of morons having ideas?

Yawus

Morons have ideas all the time. They're not necessarily good ideas. That's why they're called "morons".

The Darwin Awards are all about morons having ideas.

Q: Shouldn't Anna (Elizabeth), Booker Dewitt, and any realities connected to these two not exist in the end?

In the end, Elizabeth and Booker realize that Booker becomes Comstock at the baptism turning point, but in an alternate reality remains the Booker Dewitt we know in the story. It is in the latter reality (Booker Dewitt's) that Booker births Anna. This event in the sequence would have to have been...

That sign is entirely not helpful if you're heading towards the pit from the way the sinking player is looking.

SaintWacko

@Fluttershy There was a reason I didn't validate the flag...

Wipqozn

@Fluttershy You should really look at the history.

It was flagged before @Blem put it under a disclaimer.

Fluttershy

@Wipqozn I did. Flag notification vs edit history isn't an easy thing to compare.

Q: Can I prevent the Puppetmaster from putting me in an Iron Maiden?

In Castlevania: Harmony of Despair, the Puppetmaster (Chapter 2) has this awful ability in which he places a voodoo doll into an iron maiden, which then swaps places with you, leaving you to take the 130+ damage from said iron maiden. Is there any way to prevent this from happening? If so, how?
