Would you be offended if I said they should be imprisoned for being 70 ton bird monsters?
 
@OrigamiRobot It's late and my parents are super awesome. and weird mood. so probably quick to offend.
@OrigamiRobot That made me laugh for a second.
 
Aaaaaaand now I'm hungry
 
If they were, then they should be.
Ain't no place for 70 ton bird monsters in this world
 
@DwarfSlice I believe I own that comic.
 
@OrigamiRobot Except in prison, right?
 
12:02 AM
In other news... @AshleyNunn @StrixVaria @KevinvanderVelden @OrigamiRobot I finished Well of Ascension.
 
The prison is in space, obviously.
 
user15026
What did you think?
 
Two things:

1) Holy snap crackle and pop that was fantastic. @OrigamiRobot really needs to give the book another chance!

2) WTF AT THE ENDING!
 
Did you count the number of times we are told Vin loves Elend?
It probably a lot.
 
@OrigamiRobot I'm going to blame my brain going back ten years or so, back to the time of constantly being bullied. Until I got to the point where I developed quite the thick skin, remebering these times still hurts I guess, and attacking people I love is never a good thing in my book.
 
12:03 AM
You should edit a copy of the book to remove all those instances, then I can try again
 
@OrigamiRobot I did not. It didn't seem as common as you made it sound.
 
The space rocket went boom. :(
 
@OrigamiRobot Download a PDF version of it, convert to a doc s/I love him/I like tacos

Q: Ps3 fender strat rockbrockband guitar

allieIm having the worst time trying to find a dongle for this thing. My question is do I need a speicial dongle for this guitar? Or are they all compatible with eachother? On the back of my guitar the FCFCC ID is VFR19091. Do I need to find a dongle that also has that ID #? Thanks!

 
Damn you steam!
@Wipqozn I would be surprised if it wasn't mentioned at least once per chapter
 
12:19 AM
NEW BELLE AND SEBASTIAN YESSSSSSSSS/.
All you peoples who like good music should click this and listen to it and like it because it is good because Stuart Murdoch sure can write a song.
 
 
12:39 AM
What should people who don't like good music do?
 
@OrigamiRobot Wallow in their joyless existence.
 
Will do
@StrixVaria That space incremental has a stock market. I can't play it.
I mean I can't play the game because I just want to play the stock market

user15026
1:00 AM
To be honest, I am so burned out on this whole thing. Like I get it, it is a huge fucking deal, but hot damn if it doesn't weigh on a person after a while. So I am going to yell SILENT RETREAT and run away and shower and read my book and just....not think about shit for a good long while. Because I am tired of being scared and on the verge of tears.
 
I would like to thank @LessPop_MoreFizz for once again showing me that ignorance is bliss.
 
@AshleyNunn I don't blame you one bit, and fully respect the decision not to engage with this shit. I also think that part of the reason it got this bad is that too many were silent for too long. (Which is not to say that it's your responsibility to shout down the bad things, just to be doubly clear.) This is why I will remain a broken record.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz That's perfectly fine, but I can't listen to the repetition any longer. I just can't.
 
@Sterno 1, 6, 11, etc. downvotes.
 
1:02 AM
@Sterno It was on the hot list today for at least a little while
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz 4
 
@OrigamiRobot 3 must have been before he reset his rep counter notification
 
mebbe
 
You guys seem to be talking about numbers. I was talking about the ridiculousness of getting badges for that.
Though I will say, STILL BETTER THAN THE DOGE QUESTION
 
@Sterno what? On SFF?
 
1:05 AM
@murgatroid99 No, on here
 
@Sterno Oh, OK. Because I was wondering what sci-fi related question one could possibly ask about doge
 
user15026
@Sterno You have a point there.
 
@OrigamiRobot Yes, he did it to save Aunt May. And yes, One More Day was just terrible.
 
One More Day was the worst and JMS is a hack

Q: Unloaded Minecraft Mods

PatrickI can't seem to launch Minecraft without it crashing because of,what I think is the problem, Universal electricities core. This exact same list of mods work on my Toshiba laptop, but it doesn't cooperate on my brother's macbook laptop. Maybe the mac can't handle the amount of mods? I have no idea...

 
1:08 AM
I haven't payed any actual attention to Spider Man in so long
 
He died for a while and Doc Ock took over his body
 
Yea, i heard about that
 
Just for extra stupidness
 
Superior Spider-Man
 
@Sterno I think he's back in control now.
 
1:09 AM
He is
 
@Sterno Now I kind of want to play Doge2048
 
Either way, One More Day was stupid and so was Superior Spider-Man.
 
Now every Spider-man in the multiverse is being murdered or something
 
Interesting premise, but I'm sure executed stupidly
 
I'm not clear on why they don't bring an actual decent write on board for Spider-Man
 
1:10 AM
@Sterno Oh, didn't know that. Welp, too late to save Ultimate Spider-Man.
He ded.
 
maybe it's just too shackled in restrictions for anyone to want to
 
Ultimate Peter Parker, rather.
 
No, apparently Ultimate Peter Parker is back
 
@Yuuki Didn't he come back?
 
@Sterno WAIT, WHAT.
 
1:10 AM
@Yuuki Yeah, like in the last month or two
A seeming side effect of the Osborn serum was immortality
 
I WAS ACTUALLY OKAY WITH ULTIMATE PETER PARKER DYING.
 
I read Ultimate Spider Man for a while, but stopped.
 
Or it's all a lie. too soon to tell
 
But I didn't cancel it and had issues with both Spider Mans on the cover
 
It hit all the right notes and all of NYC turning up for his funeral brought tears to my eyes.
AND NOW THEY'RE REVERSING IT??!!
 
1:11 AM
@Yuuki or something
still unclear
 
The new Scarlet Spider was actually good.
 
I think Saga is currently my favorite comic.
 
I could not get in to Saga
I couldn't even finish #1
 
Being a dad probably helped
 
urmom is a dad
 
1:13 AM
East of West is pretty interesting too
Though I still don't know WTF is going on in it
 
I'm not even reading anything right now. I took a bunch of my comics to sell the other day
 
ONLY TERRORISTS SELL THEIR COMICS
 
I kept the ones I cared about
 
@Sterno urmom sells your comics
 
Witch Doctor, Carnage, Carnage USA, The Maxx
 
1:15 AM
I took my daughter to the comic store for Free Comic Day last weekend
I tried to buy her a MLP comic and she said no.
 
Lady Mechanika
 
@Sterno Is this a good or bad thing?
Or is it just a thing?
 
@Yuuki It is an amusing thing.
She wanted the Batman Future's End (or something like that) comic with a glossy holographic cover thingy
 
Makes sense
 
@Sterno Batman Future's End? Is that a Batman Beyond comic?
 
1:18 AM
No. It's some one-shot Batman-in-the-future thing

Q: What are my options for fast travel in San Andreas?

SeanI read online that I can take taxis, trains, airplanes, but is this even true? And how do I access them? Do they go to waypoints or only between cities?

 
Maybe it's my nostalgia speaking, but Terry McGinnis is one of my favorite characters.
 
DC did them for each of their books a few months ago, I think
 
Dangerous science?!?!?!??!?!?!!
 
Oh, wait. That's weird science.
 
1:20 AM
Isn't that the one where they made a hot lady with science?
 
@OrigamiRobot Yes
 
I'm pretty sure they did it by scanning in photos of Kelly LeBrock and then printing them back out on their dot matrix printer
Mine didn't have that feature.
 
@OrigamiRobot No, with SCIENCE.
 
1:35 AM
ROOOOYYYYYAAAAALLLLSSS
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz I've not paid attention to sports that arent the Leafs or my local junior hockey since sunday night, so I have no idea about the context of this statement other than "its baseball and world series related"
 
@AshleyNunn Royals are up 7-0 in the 3rd inning
with a runner on second right now
 
my local youth hockey team is the Royals
 
user15026
If they win it, it's done?
 
user15026
Or is there more yet?
 
1:37 AM
I think it's game 6 now?
 
@AshleyNunn No, they're down in the WS 3-2, so if they win, it goes to game 7 for all the marbles.
 
not sure who's ahead
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz Right.
 
this is must win for them, and they are doing well so far.
Runners on first and second!
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz When are competitions for only some of the marbles?
 
1:38 AM
@Yuuki well, for example, last night, the series was tied 2-2. No matter who won, there was going to be at least one more game, because it is a best of 7 series.
 
I think, funnily enough, Marbles tends to be for only some of the marbles
 
@Sconibulus Well yeah, no serious Marbles player will bet all their marbles on one game of Marbles. Marbles.
Marblesmarblesmarbles.
 
user15026
The Leafs are winning tonight, which is all the sports I care to put in my brain. (Now if Facebook could just remember I am not OMG YAY SPORTS that would be good)
 
user15026
@Yuuki pop Semantic Satiation
 
DOUBLE!
8-0, runners on second and third, no more force, Hosmer up!
 
user15026
1:42 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Lot of innings to go, though....
 
@AshleyNunn True. But SF is riding their bullpen at this point, which does not favor them if the game keeps going.
If the Royals can do anything well it's defense and run prevention
Put Dyson back in right, and watch fly balls vanish into a black hole of gloves
 
user15026
Well, yes, but I've long stopped being surprised when the sports don't go as planned :P
 
user15026
(Ever since the night the top ranked european table tennis player broke a finger and scrubbed the whole tournament, I have learned that sports are the most unpredictable.)
 
user15026
@Sconibulus When I still worked at the sportsbook, I had that taped to my laptop
 
1:46 AM
@Sconibulus Well, yes, but those narratives are Exciting and Fun!
Who doesn't like narratives?
 
I did not realize that baseball was designed to be extra swingy
 
@Sconibulus How so?
 
The guy at the grocery store was sad today when he said "Are you watching the World Series tonight?" and I said "Oh, baseball? No."
 
2-3-2 is swingier than the 2-2-1-1-1 used in NBA and NHL
 
user15026
@Sterno At least you got the sport right :)
 
1:50 AM
@Sconibulus Oh. I think that has more to do with the issues that adding all that travel causes to the way the game is normally played.
 
it lends itself to more momentum-based narrative
 
@Sconibulus Sure, but baseball narratives are as much about endurance and depth as they are momentum.
The thing that makes Baseball different is that the single most important guy on the field only plays once every 5 days normally.
In the playoffs, going to 4 for the best of them is normal. 3 happens in extreme situations.
 
@Sterno "Baseball started?"
 
Going to 2-2-1-1-1 means that you'll see 3 starts from an ace routinely, which dramatically changes the depth equation and how you build a team.
 
I wonder what the home field advantage in the world series is
 
1:53 AM
@Sconibulus a lot of home field advantage in baseball depends on quirky things like how many righties or lefties a team has, since ballpark dimensions aren't uniform.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Home run lines too, IIRC
 
So for example, Yankee Stadium has a very short fence in right field, so hitters that hit flyballs to right hit many more home runs there. The Yankees know this and sign right hand pull hitters that hit the ball into right field.
@OrigamiRobot this is what I mean by ballpark dimensions. (the bases are always the same distance apart, etc)
 
I assumed World Series would be higher (probably) because of the rule differences
 
I mean the literal lines. Like sometimes they go above things, but sometimes not.
 
@Sconibulus It can be. Again, a lot of that depends on the specific teams involved.
@OrigamiRobot You mean the height of the fences?
 
1:56 AM
No, I can't remember. I saw it a long time ago.
 
@OrigamiRobot Do you mean the foul poles? Or the foul lines?
 
No, there was some kind of dugout-type thing in the back of this one field.
Or maybe it was foul lines
 
@OrigamiRobot the warning track? the bullpen?
@OrigamiRobot foul lines are the white lines that extend from home plate to the corners
the warning track is the dirt border at the back edge of the outfield before the fences
the bullpen is a small enclosure behind the outfield fences where pitchers warm up
 
All I know is there were two of them at the back. One one side, the line went over it. On the other side, it was in front of it.
I do know enough about baseball to know what all those things are.
I don't know where the bullpen typically is.
But it sounds like that's what I'm thinking of.
 
@OrigamiRobot behind the outfield fences, below the bleachers usually
 
2:04 AM
I'm talking about the actual yellow line on the fence.
At this particular park, it went around something.
Maybe it was scoreboards
Like this.
 
@OrigamiRobot that's not anything with a rules purpose. Just a rail.
 
I don't know if it was this stadium, but that's the type of thing I mean.
@LessPop_MoreFizz The yellow line is the home run line.
 
@OrigamiRobot No it isn't.
 
That contradicts everything I've been told and am reading now.
 
If it goes outside of the fence without touching the ground inside of the fence, it's a home run.
 
2:08 AM
The yellow lines are the boundaries.
 
@OrigamiRobot No, the lines mark the point at which if the ball bounces off of something above them, it's a home run, even if it bounces back into play.
If the ball leaves the park without hitting the ground first, it's always a home run.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz That's what I'm saying.
The ball has to go above that line.
 
@OrigamiRobot but note that the ball could leave the park in the gap below the line, and it would be a home run
if the ball is hit into that gap in the scoreboard, that's a home run.
the line is basically there in case the ball hits a wall above the line and bounces back in.
 
Can I finish now?
The specific park they were talking about in this interview had two scoreboards like that. One one side, the line was above the scoreboard as in that picture. On the other side, the line was below.
Int he latter case, if the ball hit the scoreboard, it was a home run
 
@OrigamiRobot Yeah. It's mainly used to demarcate where the 'wall' ends when structures go above it that are not part of the 'field of play' But if there's a gap below the line out of the park, and the ball goes in, it is still a home run.
 
2:18 AM
Yes, i know what it's for.
We have established their purpose.
 
Anyways, point is, the line is not used in all parks and is a proxy for the height of the fences where the fences are weird because of other stuff
 
I'm saying within the same park, there was an identical scoreboard on each side of the back wall.
On one side, hitting the scoreboard was a home run, on the other side it was not.
 
@OrigamiRobot Yes, and I am saying that this is a proxy for variable fence height, often for dumb historic reasons that vary by city.

Q: Help! I'm bored with KSP!

LostOnTheMunWell, I never thought I'd reach this point, but I'm bored with KSP. I was obsessed with this game since I started playing last May, but now I've done everything I wanted to do. I remember the thrill of getting into space (and the music starting!) for the first time as well as my first orbit. I ...

 
The fence was the same on both sides.
The scoreboards were the same on both sides.
 
2:27 AM
ANYWAY, to get back to what started this conversation; in this particular series, Home Field Advantage is a big deal for the royals because their home ballpark has about 12,000 sqft more fair territory in the outfield than the Giants park does; which means that they can take massive advantage of their superior outfield defense and catch a whole lot of fly balls that would be home runs in SF.
 
superior defense has got nothing on Pete's bunt
anyone else remember that Backyard Baseball game?
 
@Wipqozn I don't even remember the end of the 2nd book.
@OrigamiRobot Because you'll just get consumed forever?
 
@StrixVaria Because I'll just play the market and let everyone die
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz This always bothered me about baseball.
 
This is a thing that exists. That is all I was saying
 
2:34 AM
@OrigamiRobot Yes. usually for dumb historic reasons.
i.e. "we are going to preserve the outfield dimensions of a classic old ballpark, and it had a 15 foot fence in left and an 8 foot fence in right." the line is a proxy for the fence.
I think we are just talking across each other. I am not saying you are wrong, I am just saying it is not a thing that matters much.
 
I was just giving an example of how fields might vary
 
@StrixVaria And I always liked this about baseball.
 
And how there are inconsistencies within the same field

Q: How do I increase my jumper count?

Ashley NunnIn the game Haunt the House: Terrortown, I noticed that the scoreboard that appears when you scare everyone away mentions a jumper count. What is a jumper count? How do I increase it? I figure it affects my score, but I am not sure how to make it happen.

Q: How did I get part of a unicorn's tear?

Glen WheelerI just noticed that I had 22.288 unicorn tears. The only way that I know of to obtain tears is to sacrifice unicorns. Each sacrifice take 2500 unicorns and yields 1 tear per ziggurat. So how did I end up with a fractional number of unicorn tears? Can magnetos affect these somehow...?

maybe it's a battery powered fridge magnet
 
@Chippies It was an add for a wireless soundsystem thing.
Oh wait.
I'm stupid and deaf.
It was probably a wireless speaker.
 
battery powered fridge magnets sound awesome tho
and I mean like, electro-magnets, not the ones that work with magic

Marcduring the dawnguard quests, the trainer/smith Gunmar, currently holds 56, 000 gold. my pickpocket level is sorta average but it's still at 0%. Is the pickpocket level determinate upon how much gold you can steal ?

 
@StrixVaria The second book ends with Vin finding the Well of Ascension, and Ruin being released.
Although you don't find out it's called Ruin until the prologue in Book 3.

@Wipqozn Oh yeah.
For some reason I thought that was found in book 1.
 
@StrixVaria No sir. Book 1 just ended with the lord ruler dying.
You really need to do a reread.
 
In that case I'm not sure I have any idea what happens in book 2 at all.
