5:03 PM
It's time to decide where to lunch.
 
I'm having lasagna.
 
I'm having lasagna too!
 
GARFIELD! @JasonBerkan!
 
I had pizza. It was delicious.
 
@Sterno jealous.
In other news, does Minecraft PE have a creative mode?
 
5:08 PM
@MBraedley Yes. However Minecraft PE sucks. I regret purchasing it.
 
@JasonBerkan Okay, just making sure because of this.

Q: Is the Mosen a 1 or 2 shot kill?

user12812On the DayZ standalone wiki it says that it is a 2 shot kill unless you hit the head. Many players have said otherwise, stating that it is a 1 shot anywhere on your opponent. Does anyone know the actual damage count for this weapon? I've always been able to take out people with 1 shot (sometimes ...

 
@RedRiderX What, does it increase how much time is left in the sale every time someone buys it?
 
@Yuki Nope everyone gets a +-1 second vote for each sale
Even if you don't buy it.
 
@MBraedley Yeah. That is a bad answer. There actually is no way to spawn monsters in creative mode in PE. There are only 4 spawn eggs available (chicken, cow, pig, sheep).
 
5:11 PM
Oh, well I suggest you comment as such, since you're in the know
 
HAHAHA WHERE ARE YOUR INB4S NOW!!!
 
@RedRiderX Do I have to modify a post of mine from 2010 and quote it back? :P
 
NOOOOOooooo FOILED AGAIN BY MOD ABUSE!
 
be considerate of who you give mod abuse powers to! :P
 
@badp If elected, I promise to only mod abuse @badp. :P
 
5:20 PM
"There is no Light. There is no Dark. There is only MOD ABUSE ."
 
@JasonBerkan mod vs mod mod abuse battles are the most boring thing ever.
 
I promise that if elected the first I'll do is kick @badp from The Bridge.
 
@Wipqozn mods can't kick mods.
 
@badp We can just fake it,
 
I would've used this option twice or thrice if I could.
@Wipqozn hmmm.
 
FAE
5:29 PM
@Wipqozn Never a good idea. You'll give him the wrong expectations!
And good evening all.
 
Man, Bridge is pretty slow this morning.
 
@FAE I see what you did there.
 
FAE
@TimStone I have no idea what you could mean, sir.
 
:P
OH
Which reminds me.
...Indirectly
 
FAE
5:33 PM
@TimStone ...uuuuuuh
 
FAE
@TimStone Eeeeee!
 
:D
 
FAE
Yay for plastering your offspring in things for which they have no understanding!
 
Bwuahahaha
 
@FAE I was going to get a picture of me holding him in my N7 jacket but lazy. :P
 
@TimStone So cute.
 
FAE
@TimStone Aw. :(
 
Another time, perhaps.
 
IT'S OUR ANNUAL SNOW DAY. WOOOOOO
 
5:38 PM
@John Well all the roads here have been closed most of the time since Saturday.
 
@John Huh, here too.
 
So it's getting close to a snow week for us
 
Despite the fact that it's barely sprinkling and I don't even think it's below freezing point outside.
 
@John Snow? Haven't seen real snow in a while.
 
Houstonians are really weird about winter weather.
 
5:38 PM
@RedRiderX They close roads?
 
@Yuki I mean like, actual snow
 
Yes
 
@Arperum Yeah, I haven't seen any since last year
 
And around here we don't get random days off because of snow.
 
Literally all of them
 
5:39 PM
I can't even imagine getting to January without seeing snow.
 
Literally all the roads here have been closed a few days in a row
 
We've had snow on the ground since early November. It'll be here until March-ish.
 
spanning a few counties too
 
@RedRiderX Where are you?
 
Eh Canada
 
5:40 PM
Bundlestars presents the FPS Warriors 2 Bundle
 
They close roads in Canada for snow?
 
@StrixVaria We do get a lot of it, you know.
 
But right now in the country with my parents
 
@StrixVaria Well sure, you don't want snowmobiles and cars getting into accidents with one another.
 
5:40 PM
@StrixVaria And cold and flurries
 
@StrixVaria Around here, only when visibility is zero. Otherwise, everything is open.
 
This is how I imagine roads in Canada.
 
I forgot how long last winter was. This is my front yard on May 7th:
 
@StrixVaria Bwhahahaaa You think that we keep snowplows on country roads everyday?
That's funny
 
@RedRiderX Doesn't every Canadian own a snowplow?
 
5:42 PM
You're funny
Yeah we blow out our own lanes
 
Oooo, new trailer for Aaru's Awakening.
 
But the road itself is another matter
 
This game looks really difficult.
 
This isn't the city where if everyone cleans off the side walk in front of them the job is done
There is a good distance between driveways
 
@StrixVaria That looks like my back yard!
 
5:44 PM
@Frank Your back yard has a road in it?
 
@StrixVaria More like the path, with four feet drifts on either side.
 
My back yard looked like that once, in one winter ever.
It was mostly fun because I was eight.
 
@StrixVaria @FRANK LIVES IN A BOX ON THE HIGHWAY: DATA ACCEPTED
 
@Wipqozn Needs more backtics
 
@Wipqozn You're welcome to come visit!
 
5:47 PM
@RedRiderX so what happens if you want to go places?
 
@badp You don't
 
how does your city get food and water and supplies?
 
For a few days now they got the roads in shape by 4:00pm
but then they were closed again at midnight
 
@Frank If I ever decide to travel across Canada I'll make sure "@Frank's Box" is on my list of places to visit.
 
@badp Well this is a bit of a special occurrence.
 
5:49 PM
do you just have trucks ramp 3 meters up onto the ice sheet leading to the sea of snow, crushing buried trees in the process?
do your trucks have skis?
 
You don't always have roads closed for days and days in a row
@badp I wish
Stuff would move a lot quicker
 
FAE
I miss snow. We haven't had any here this year.
Though public transport becomes a complete nightmare when it happens, so maybe that's not a bad thing.
 
It does seem to be finally over
 
FAE
@KevinvanderVelden Did you hear about the Pirate Bay ruling?
 
so the roads probably won't be closed tonight.
 
5:51 PM
@FAE I did. And I've been thinking I should migrate to the north.
 
FAE
@Arperum Haha. Is it blocked for Belgium?
It was pretty easy to get around anyway.
 
@FAE I think. I use google's DNS servers anyway, so I don't really know. It's just the principle.
 
Now we have a Zombie Adofl Hitlar army in RPG.SE chat

Q: Does it matter if I slaughter the lost lambs?

SternoI've received the quest Lost Lambs, and it seems as if for each of the three guys I'm sent to stop, I have the option of fighting them or letting them go. Other than the potential experience/loot from defeating them in combat, is there any difference in the quest or later on in the game between ...

Q: In Borderlands 2, is it possible to reset a Normal Mode playthrough?

WillSo, I accidentally left my game running in friends only overnight. Then, a rather irritating friend of mine came in with his level 35 Commando and finished from A Dam Fine Rescue to Rising Action,leaving me underleveled, gear-wise. Is this fixable or am I up some sort of creek without a bladed Ja...

 
IIRC some stupid judge ruled that all providers have to block all access to tpb, and to any and all future hostnames they come up with...
 
5:54 PM
Oh my.
 
FAE
@Arperum Yeah, here it was all providers. They reversed the ruling because they were like "Well, it's not working anyway, there's no decrease in torrenting traffic, so we're not gonna block it anymore."
 
@FAE Over here, that'll take a while to get to. Belgian politics are notoriously slow
See: world record for longest time needed to form a new ministry thing.
 
FAE
@Arperum Yeah, I've heard about that, I've another friend who lives in Belgium. She helps working the voting booths sometimes.
 
And the elections from somewhere this year are expected to be worse.
 
@FAE People have been complaining about the lack of snow here. People are weird.
 
FAE
5:57 PM
@badp haha
 
Mild winters best winters
Snow is awful
 
FAE
@fredley It's less awful when you have seasonal depression. It helps keep everything a bit lighter.
 
@fredley I wish this year was a mild winter.
 
It's funny because you can simply download the pirate bay
 
I think we've already gotten more snow than last winter
and we still have another month or more to go
 
5:58 PM
I dunno if they do maintain that filename-magnet link dump they made once.
 
All the mildness is centred over Western Europe
 
It was pretty glorious.
 
Some kind of 'Mild Vortex'
 
@fredley chances are we're going to get what we were spared, with interest
 
@Powerlord We have barely seen any kind of negative temperatures. Hottest January since a long time and such.
 
5:59 PM
@badp A winter without snow would be so welcome
the house I'm in at the moment has very old, single glazed sash windows
 
@fredley I know! but it snowed here. For about 30 hours total. So it doesn't count.
 
such draft, very freeze
 
@fredley Ouch.
 
FAE
@fredley Ugh.
 
Sash windows are the worst
 
6:00 PM
The insulation in the student complex I was in was really good
 
so rattle
 
winter outside (about -2 or so), 23 deg inside
 
FAE
@badp insulation?
 
@fredley Terrible insulation is terrible. I know what you mean.
 
@badp I lived in a very old building as a student. The windows were laughably bad
As in, there'd be a cm gap around the window frame
In general, the more attractive a building is, the colder it is to live in
 
6:01 PM
Insulation at my parents' is pretty bad, but not single-window bad
 
@badp We've shrink wrapped our entire bedroom window to try and stop the heat escaping
 
FAE
@fredley That sucks.
 
@fredley Yuck.
We have double or triple-paned windows here, and even then, they get really cold.
 
@FAE Yup. It's not too bad, but it's basically a ventilation-free zone until March
@Frank I would kill for UPVC
 
@fredley Hmm... isn't that going to be an humidity nightmare?
 
user15026
6:07 PM
@fredley I am tempted to do the same here, because every one lets in all the cold. I have fabric bins by my one wall and any of the clothes in there are always ice cold.
 
@badp Dehumidifier!
@AshleyNunn Oh god morning cold clothes are the worst
*shudders*
 
I bought a NERF Strongarm
cc @KevinvanderVelden
 
@AshleyNunn I place my drying rack in front of my heater and never remove things from there until I wear them <_<
 
user15026
@fredley yeah, I have taken to shoving the clothes into my blankets, then doing some morning stuff, then getting dressed pretty much last in hopes the clothes are warmer
 
@AshleyNunn I would put them on the radiator if I could remember
 
user15026
6:08 PM
@badp if I had proper heating I would!
 
@AshleyNunn :/
 
@AshleyNunn Bleh. That sucks. Cold clothes in winter, especially.
 
Please remind me of this stuff next time I mention my lack of running hot water in house
...a situation which is going to end in 11 days or so
 
FAE
@badp what
 
user15026
Heck if the upstairs people aren't home they forget to heat the place to a reasonable degree because they forget I am here
 
6:09 PM
@FAE 6.742% left in my internship
this is my second-to-last Tuesday here.
 
user15026
@badp lack of running hot water is kinda crappy
 
@AshleyNunn Washing dishes with freezing water is less than effective.
Speaking of which I need to acquire a new bottle of dishwasher.
 
user15026
@badp I can imagine it wouldn't be very good, no
 
@AshleyNunn I have an independent heater for each and every tap - so, two of them (plus the shower's)
They can hold a minute or so of super-hot (85deg) water.
 
@FAE I did, yeah for no censoring :D
 
6:14 PM
It's usually more trouble than it's worth.
 
user15026
@badp that sounds...annoying.
 
@AshleyNunn The annoying part is that whenever I open the tap at full cold I get a second or so of that 85deg water.
 
FAE
@badp Oooh okay
 
@badp 85 is hot
 
You learn that real fast.
 
6:15 PM
@badp you can't update a magnet, it is essentially the hash for a torrent which you can then look up
 
user15026
Yeah, that would definitely be a quick lesson.
 
@fredley Well, if I use one quarter of that with three quarters of 0deg water I should have reasonably warm water for a muck longer amount of time.
 
And to update a torrent you have to change the content which changes the magnet
 
@KevinvanderVelden can you even update a torrent?
 
@badp well, you can create a new one with updated files in it
 
6:17 PM
@AshleyNunn This sounds like a not good thing.
 
@OrigamiRobot sweet, any specific plans?
 
user15026
@frank I have gotten very good at layering. :p
 
@KevinvanderVelden Going to attempt a wood pattern.
 
@JasonBerkan I should get the Zork Anthology shouldn't I?
 
@AshleyNunn Sounds more like, "Hey, guys, I live here and pay rent. You're obligated to keep the place at a human survivable temperature."
 
6:18 PM
Wood like that, but I'd change the black parts.
 
I... I know it's not wood, but you could've fooled me
That is very well done
 
user15026
@frank problem is defining that :p they say with my two electric radiator heaters I should be fine.
 
Tell me about it.
I'm definitely going to practice on some scrap first.
 
@fredley If you like humour and text adventures, then yes.
 
@JasonBerkan I am making a text adventure
 
6:20 PM
@fredley TIL.
 
@AshleyNunn Not sure what sort of tenancy protection options you have, but sounds like it's time to complain to who you can about that.
Granted, they may try to kick you out rather than resolve the issue, though.
 
I have really early memories of text adventures (there was one about a cave?), but it was the Sierra games that were my first games.
 
@JasonBerkan Basic, so far
 
@JasonBerkan it's a text adventure where you can chat with other people!
 
But there is a quest!
 
user15026
6:22 PM
@frank yeah see that is where I worry.
 
@KevinvanderVelden When I saw that picture, I thought "the brass bits on the cylinder would look great as tension connections to make it look like the front of the cylinder was separate from the back."
It turns out that's how it actually is
 
@AshleyNunn That's also where the tenancy board comes in; there are usually rules against punitive actions taken against tenants.
 
@KevinvanderVelden Hopefully you should be able to reach the city hall soon
 
Specifically because tenants usually don't have many options against a landlord; it's a one way street.
 
I'd like to make it clear though, I'm only making this game to get easy rep. No other reason.
Yay! I made it to the city hall
 
6:40 PM
@kev then it's a diff torrent
 
@badp jup, kinda
 
user15026
@Frank Yeah, but there are also problems if, say, perhaps, you live in an apartment that isnt entirely supposed to be one?
 
user15026
(not sure entirely if that is my case)
 
@AshleyNunn Yeah, that would also be an issue.
 
6:45 PM
@fredley @badp is the worst (ftfy)
 
I am now starting Heroes of Might and Magic V. someone help me, please
 
@Unionhawk I blame badp for all my olive oil related woes
 
@KevinvanderVelden Play FF XIV!
 
user15026
Is there a character limit on answers?
 
I don't think so?
 
FAE
6:47 PM
@AshleyNunn Yes, but it's really long.
So you should be fine.
 
user15026
@FAE Okay, good - am writing my meta post thingie in word, so I can see it all, and I am like AAAAA word cant tell me if I am running out of, well, words.
 
@Frank I don't like mumorpogers
 
FAE
I apparently now own a game called Gravity Badgers.
 
@KevinvanderVelden Your loss.
 
user15026
@FAE that sounds possibly awesome
 
FAE
6:49 PM
@AshleyNunn It was in a game bundle pack I just bought.
 
And possible mine, because I want more people to play with.
 
FAE
And a janitorial simulation called Viscera Cleanup Detail: Santa's Rampage.
 
please ask questions about this game. I just want there to be a
 
@FAE Hey yeah that one's interesting
I've seen videos of it
You would probably want the full one when it comes out though.
 
@KevinvanderVelden Oh hai there! I have the collectors edition of that game!
 
FAE
6:53 PM
@KevinvanderVelden haha
@RedRiderX I'd never heard of it before. It looks uh, interesting.
