Newly Opened Proposals for Entertainment

@Lazers This looks like it makes less sense than usual for a lol question.

1

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Proposed Q&A site for readers of the books in Douglas Adam's series, "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", listeners of the BBC Radio Comedy, and watchers of the film adaptation.

Currently in definition.

I wouldn't know, no LoL makes sense to me, and I don't care to make sense of it. I just ignore and skip when it comes up.

@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment That's a really specific topic.

But it doesn't include the text-based adventure game

7:23 PM

@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment Today in "proposals that are way too narrow"

HEY MAN, THE GALAXY IS A BIG PLACE

@OrigamiRobot A proposal for "everything in the galaxy" would probably be too broad

@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment But not watchers of the television series, apparently

This is why I love /r/PhotoshopBattles

@Unionhawk AFAIK they should be ridled with mentions of Q and R and stuff.

7:25 PM

@murgatroid99 THAT'S WHY THERE IS A GUIDE, JEEZ

The only acceptable hitchhiker's guide is the set of novels afaic

For supper I think I'll get a pepperoni, mushroom, and hot banana peppers pizza.

hmm... pizza...

@Wipqozn Dammit, now I want pizza, and I had just decided to go get fries.

dammit NO

I HAVE THINGS TO COOK DAMMIT

7:27 PM

@Unionhawk the show was pretty great too

I actually wouldn't know.

@Unionhawk So do I, but dishes are too much work.

I've just heard the movie is bad

@Arperum Fries are every bit as delicious as pizza.

So I was like "Okay, I don't want to be disappointed and they're probably right"

7:28 PM

@Unionhawk It's good, but better if you don't know the source material.

@Wipqozn Especially Belgian fries.

They did make one new addition I really liked though

the things on the vogon planet that swatted you in the head everything you thought anything

@DwarfSlice I do know the source material.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (TV series)

@Unionhawk yeah, exactly

also there's a tv show marvin cameo

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a BBC television adaptation of Douglas Adams's The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy broadcast in January and February 1981 on UK television station BBC Two. The adaptation follows the original radio series in 1978 and 1980, the first novel and double LP, in 1979, and the stage shows, in 1979 and 1980, making it the fifth iteration of the guide. The series stars Simon Jones as Arthur Dent, David Dixon as Ford Prefect, Mark Wing-Davey as Zaphod Beeblebrox and Sandra Dickinson as Trillian. The voice of the guide is by Peter Jones. Simon Jones, Peter Jones, Stephen...

I need to read the books again

all of them

it's a really short series, and worth watching.

@OrigamiRobot YES RECTIFY THIS SITUATION

And there are like 20+ more creatures.

@murgatroid99 Considering grumpy cat is now on boxes of Friskies canned food, nothing surprises me

We just spent like an hour decorating our department for Halloween.

The internet no longer surprises me at this point.

@Unionhawk Somehow, no matter how much time I spend here, there's always something

7:39 PM

I agree there's always something, but I've decided that the stupidity of the internet is constant.

@Unionhawk Stupidity is unbounded

That's why it can be surprising: there's always something dumber than the dumbest thing you've ever seen

Nope. The internet does not deal in magnitudes of stupidity, just stupidity.

Stupidity is relative

the more stupidity you have seen, the less stupid the new most stupid seems

7:43 PM

@Unionhawk HAS APPARENTLY TRANSCENDED OUR PETTY CONCEPTIONS OF STUPIDITY

Yep.

2 banned, 6 <20

7:44 PM

@Unionhawk I only see 6

@murgatroid99 Two without default gravatars.

Whatever, doesn't matter

They're the ones that got hit with a 30 day ban.

user15026

No worries, we are on it, and it will be dealt with.

I was just wondering what was going on

user15026

7:46 PM

Someone's decided to make many many chat accounts, it seems

Yeah, that's what it looks like. I figured you guys were on it. (it's not like you can flag a user anyway)

in other news

@Unionhawk I don't get it.

ALSO, POOR SOOS

@murgatroid99 I never make mistakes like updating the enable logic and overwriting it with the new disable logic instead.

@OrigamiRobot Yes

@OrigamiRobot No

8:01 PM

@Powerlord That's also a possibility. I was just suggesting ways to see if you're even looking at the new code

I BELIEVE YOU BOTH

THAT'S A LIE

MAYBE

AND/OR A MISTAKE

I don't know

8:03 PM

A LIE AND A MISTAKE?

SO I DON'T ACTUALLY BELIEVE BOTH OF YOU, BUT I SHOULD?

PROBABLY

I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE

MAKES SENSE

YESTERDAY, IT WAS "NONE"

YES

I DON'T HAVE THINGS TODAY

I WAS GONNA PLAY ALONE, BUT I HAD NO ONE TO HIGH-FIVE

> The prompt() method returns the input value if the user clicks "OK". If the user clicks "cancel" the method returns null.

Firefox tells me you're lying, W3Schools

8:07 PM

@OrigamiRobot I got rid of high five as a skill. It's too useless.

I KNOW, I STILL HIGH-FIVE YOU ANYWAY

@Powerlord Isn't w3schools known to have rampant misinformation?

@StrixVaria yes

Wait... is it null or undefined in JS?

Chrome says they're right

8:08 PM

@StrixVaria is it? well that's unfortunate. thats what i used to learn SQL

Not that it matters, Safari apparently returns "" if they hit cancel.

@Frank 4 to go...

So I need to test against that too.

I guess it's implementation dependent, like a lot of JS stuff

@Powerlord I think they both exist and mean different things.

8:09 PM

@djsmiley2k That's a ton of dedication, man.

@StrixVaria this is correct

@Frank I'm just crazy and maybe a little weird

I prefer to play a game i can almost not play rather htan something I have to think about D:

Lets see... documented as returning null, but Safari returns "" and IE Metro returns undefined (and never even shows the prompt?)

Yay JS!

@Powerlord If you want good JS documentation, MDN is usually better than w3schools

And they document what you just said:

> In Safari, if the user clicks Cancel, the function returns an empty string. Therefore, it doesn't differentiate canceling from the user entering an empty string in the textbox.

8:12 PM

@murgatroid99 Gee, you'd almost think that's where I'm reading it from now.

@Powerlord I assumed you were testing on different browsers

@Frank a neat tip is leaving low level enemies in oversoul tho

@djsmiley2k Why would you do that?

I suppose for IE compatibility I should just add another section to the page where it shows a reason box. Bleah.

If you fight a harder version of the same enemy, they are still oversouled.

8:13 PM

@Powerlord Why do you need a prompt anyway?

Also, it generally lengthens the animation at the start of the fight, letting you run away!

@murgatroid99 Business rules.

Well, business rules say we have to put in why we're disabling an account.

Because if you can achieve the same thing without using a modal interface, that would probably be better, at least in my opinion

@frank for example i think insect matriarch and critcial bug are likely to fall under the same one

@djsmiley2k If you mean leaving them in oversoul so that you can fight a stronger enemy in the same species, yeah, that's a pretty common tactic.

8:16 PM

@Frank yah but the animation thing is a nice bonus

Critical bug done \o/

Lacerta is taking forever though.

I wish my life was an incremental sometimes, because then I could just use @Uni.awakeness_level=100 instead of caffeine

/unilogic

until you slipup and type 9001 instead of 100 and go supersayen

awakeness is a percentage, obviously

Only if he spent it.

@badp Funnily enough, that's one of the first things the intrepid hacker does.

If 100 translates to 100%

@murgatroid99 good point.

your name isn't jessica is it btw?

my wife had a friend at uni she knew as mergatroid

@djsmiley2k no

ok, i may of asked you that years ago too :D

oh god why

Oh good, I can buy it in a shop.

@Unionhawk YouTube comments are low quality on average, but they are by no means universally bad.

@murgatroid99 This is true.

Technically

You are technically correct, not all YouTube comments are terrible

Just most of them

8:36 PM

I just get sick of the mentality in this room of "One time I went to another site and someone was a jerk so that entire site is terrible and only we're good"

you mean like america's view of islam?

@murgatroid99 This one time, I went to Gaming.SE and they closed my question in 5 minutes. What jerks, never using that site again.

@Unionhawk Did you consider shutting the tv down, or reaching for the physical buttons on the thing

Kevin van der Velden

@Chippies nope, just horrifying. No cuteness here

@badp When a TV is on, the only option is to watch it

8:43 PM

@DwarfSlice pfft

@badp Yes, and then we discovered the channel selection was dictated by a comcast box, which had no physical buttons.

It is the American way

And TV off was not an option

I think I eventually said "screw it, random DVD, go"

@murgatroid99 Pretty much no. Supernatural-ish, sorta, which I guess counts as sci-fi

8:45 PM

Don't worry though, guys. SyFy is still planning on a Sharknado 3.

@Sterno ofc

goddammit

@Sterno Aren't they still working on Sharknado 2?

@murgatroid99 Nope, 2 already happened

30th July, 2014

@Sterno cc @TrentHawkins Might wanna review these and see if any interest you.

Now I kind of want to watch it

8:47 PM

Sharknado, shark week, etc, is why I can't have an intelligent conversation about scuba with a lot of people a lot of the time.

Because it just turns into "DID YOU SEE ANY SHARKS?" "...yes..." "DID THEY EAT YOU?" "..."

I find it hard to believe that anyone would take anything from Sharknado seriously

@murgatroid99 I guess it's mostly shark week that does it

Also, it looks like Continuum is probably cancelled

@Sterno It kinda lost me shortly into season 3.

All the time travel back and forth was making my head hurt.

@Frank That's the best part.

8:49 PM

I saw sharknado on IMDB had 4.6 stars and I was like "whaaaaat", then I saw it was out of 10

@Sterno Keeping to a few threads makes it manageable. But going back in time, destroying the "main" timeline, and basically throwing a reset on some rather large events, seeing the main character dead, etc., etc., was just too much. It was tough keeping up with what was going on.

@Unionhawk Still, whaaaaaaaa

@Frank I feel warm and fuzzy knowing that even on this, I disagree with you.

Stuff like that is exactly why I watch time travel shows.

50-80% off Arcen Games titles

!

/me punches a chocobo

8:51 PM

@OrigamiRobot I can see 4.6, given 15% of people rated it 10, hopefully ironically

@Sterno They did some great stuff with time travel. They were exploring the whole parallel universe and grandfather paradox thing. Loved that.

Sounds interesting

I may look into that, what series did it get to?

Pixel is the worst today. Peed on my shoes, destroyed a garbage bag, scratched my face, and is farting in my face...

Honestly I'm surprised Sharknado isn't a straight 10 on IMDB. It seems like the kind of people who would bother to rate Sharknado are the kind of people who would give it a 10.

@Sterno this

8:52 PM

@djsmiley2k If you're talking about Continuum, 3 seasons

It's lowest rated for females under 18 at 3.8, and highest for females 45+ at 5.9 (demographically speaking)

But then just going, "Nope! Didn't like what happened! There's now two of the smart guy, and one has to be kept in the dark, and figuring out which is which, and, oh, hey, right, you're actually dead, so you have to find your killer, too!" just adds a lot of unnecessary complication that's beyond exploring time travel.

best movie:

►

@Frank Yeah. It made season 3 awesome.

SO HAPPY TO DISAGREE WITH FRANK

sepia for the win!

8:53 PM

Now it's time to go home.

@Sterno Of what?

@Sterno How do you keep track of everything? There's so much going on that it's just a wall of crap being thrown at you.

@Frank I take it that you've never read Homestuck

Oh, continuum?

@murgatroid99 Can't say that I have, no.

8:54 PM

My only complaint is the dude man is really annoying.

Sharknado 1 has a much lower overall recepti-- WAIT WHY AM I DOING THIS

@Frank Because I think I could deal with any spacetime shenanigans after reading that

Don't get me wrong, I love books that have lots of intertwined stories, all converging and adding into a greater whole.

WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE

Jason Berkan

@Unionhawk You should relax by watching Sharknado.

8:55 PM

...

sharktopus

as a baby

thats less scary than baby sharks normally

sharks are not scary

shark week is overhyped

tiger sharks are

and overblown

everything you know about sharks is a lie

8:57 PM

@Frank Basically, Homestuck has, among other things, multiple interacting universes with uncorrelated timelines, time travel, offshoot timelines, different time travel, and circular causality. All of which are important plot points

lol ok

Jason Berkan

@Unionhawk Do they swim in the ocean?

Sharks are actually made of cake

@JasonBerkan No.

Jason Berkan

@Unionhawk I'm shocked. I shall never believe anything again.
