My attention span has been exhausted, I'm already on YouTube.
 
@Chippies If you're already on YouTube, then I have an early Black Friday deal for you.

@Sterno My favorite song! Yay!
 
@Chippies Always be suspicious when the word "Friday" comes out of @Sterno's mouth.
 
@Yuuki It's okay, I knew it was my favorite song before I clicked on it
 
At least it wasn't a Kinder eggs video.

Q: Endgame, now what?

QuillionI am on year 4721 in the game. And I did all. I can't pretty much build anything because of cap restrictions. There is nothing else I can do. Did I break/finish the game? Due to the recent nerfes to the caps, pretty much everything except magnetos, steamworks, oil well, quarry, harbor and warehou...

 
@Chippies *Favourite, if you ever want to get your Canadian citizenship.
 
Indian food truck was a bad idea.
 
@JasonBerkan Favourite is one of the very few words I don't write the British way, oddly enough
also, I don't want Canadian citizenship, I just want permanent resident thingamajig
being a citizen of Europe has more benefits than just being able to vote
 
@Sterno +1, pun
@Sterno -1, jealousy
 
DNS works again, I can access the web :D
 
5:09 PM
:D
 
So some digger accidentally broke a fiber cable and the ISP doesn't have a backup cable.
 
joys
 
@3ventic D:
 
But I have DNS so I have full access to the internet through my VPS
 
@5pike My only perceived problem with these are that they'd be harder to move.
 
5:14 PM
They've told it'll be fixed in about 7 hours
 
@3ventic Hopefully that digger gets a hefty bill for the repair.
 
@OrigamiRobot Mhhh... I have no problem with movement. I play BF4 without a problem with the anker mouse.
 
Taking half a nation offline for 10 hours? Hope so
 
@3ventic Meh, insurance will pay
10 hours * 0.5 * GDP
 
@5pike I'm just thinking of having your whole hand weight on it and having to move your whole arm.
It's really hard to judge mice without actually using them.
 
5:17 PM
@OrigamiRobot It's more ergonomic that way. I got used to it quite fast.
@OrigamiRobot Yeah, that's true.
 
Iiiiiiinteresting...
 
That's cute.
@5pike This is one of the most comfortable mice I've tried, but it's a trackball :/
 
@OrigamiRobot I used to use one of those. Impossible to game with, but great for work.
 
I've thought about buying it and converting it on multiple occasions.
 
@OrigamiRobot I think I have one of those.
@Frank <jaw drop>
 
5:23 PM
@Yuuki I think it's part of their effort to help you get the gems you want/need.
They were talking about that a while back.

I can finally clean up my gem backlog!
 
When do Steam sales usually start? 12 PST?
 
colors are now illegal
 
@fredley The converse would still be odd as that would imply that colors were once illegal.
 
5:27 PM
@Yuuki I think that's the point
 
@Yuuki The PTR currently has a 2000% buff to legendary drop rate.
 
@Chippies ... I think this is fake.
 
@fredley Let's just wait for more BoI patches then
 
@Yuuki you... are probably right
 
5:30 PM
@Chippies Rule of thumb: don't trust movie trailers from YouTube users with actual names.
 
@Yuuki I didn't check the name actually until you mentioned it might be fake, I just had this all over facebook, so I figured it might be real and posted it here before actually watching the trailer :P
 
@Chippies Rule of thumb: don't trust movie trailers from Facebook. </joking>
 
@Yuuki Rule of thumb: Fact check everything you get from Facebook </not_joking>
 
Rule of thumb: Don't trust the internet.
 
@KevinvanderVelden Heh. My kids already know this. "It's from the Internet, so it's wrong."
(In actuality, I told them things on the Internet are not always true. That morphed into nothing on the Internet is true.)
I'm fine with that.
 
5:42 PM
@JasonBerkan If it's on the internet, it must be true!
3
 
@Chippies no no no, if it's on the star list it must be true
 
@KevinvanderVelden star list = internet = true
 
@Chippies no, the star list is a subset of the internet
 
@KevinvanderVelden star list is internet, internet is not star list
 
@Chippies that is what I said
 
5:44 PM
@KevinvanderVelden it's also what I said, lol
 
@Chippies no, you said they were the same
 
annnnnyways
NOTHING ON THE STAR LIST IS TRUE!
9
 
@KevinvanderVelden What if we star Chippies message? WHAT THEN?
 
@JasonBerkan then I star his second message AND BREAK THE UNIVERSE! MWUAHAHAHA
 
That Payday star is pretty true.
 
5:45 PM
Star bait status: Success
 
 
Hehehe, classic
 
5:59 PM
uh...okay
And this is something kids use...crikey
I just might want to report that...
 
> Sega Dreamcast was the only major console in the last 20 years to not have any EA games.
Once again it is proven that Dreamcast was the best console
@RPiAwesomeness if it translates it properly then why is it bad?
 
@Chippies I dunno, just seems kinda strange for a product that kids use...
 
is duolingo specifically marketed for kids?
@RPiAwesomeness kids probably shouldn't be translating such words to begin with
 
@Chippies Not necessarily, but the design makes it seem somewhat that way.
@Chippies It normally means cow, dunno why they're showing those other translations...
 
@RPiAwesomeness That's uhh, like, your opinion, man
 
6:03 PM
@Chippies True
 
well, I don't speak spanish, so I don't know what it means
 
@Chippies its not spanish
 
@Chippies It's french :)
I'm severely tempted to put in one of those just to see what the system says...
 
@RPiAwesomeness IT'S ALL THE SAME TO ME
google translates that to "the cow is only"
 
lol, that's wrong
Well, sorta. It really means the Cow is alone.
So close enough...
 
@3ventic Nah. I'll stick with mine, thanks.
 
@RPiAwesomeness if I translate "cow is alone" to french, it translates correct, but if I translate "la vache est seule" to english, it is wrong
 
@Chippies Strange...
oh google
 
wait wait wait
"la vache est seul"
not seule
well, it translates it to "cow is only" either way
so it doesn't matter if you type seul or seule
 
No, "la vache est seule" is correct.
 
6:07 PM
@RPiAwesomeness tell that to google
 
"la vache est seul" (without the E at the end) is the incorrect gender
 
@Chippies You can. Click on the translated word, select the proper translation.
 
I edited the translation and submitted it
 
seul is male, seule is female
 
@JasonBerkan I just did
@RPiAwesomeness I'm guessing cow in french is female then?
 
6:08 PM
poor lonely cow
 
@Chippies Yeah...
 
well, cow is probably female in all languages, now that I think about it...
steam sale has started
 
Why languages have to have genders for nouns and stuff, I DON'T KNOW.
Oooo...
 
@Chippies you specify the gender with "la vache" in the sentence
 
@RPiAwesomeness Because it makes sense in those languages
 
@Chippies They're just old. English makes a lot more sense to me, especially seeing as there is really no major patterns for whether it will be male or female
 
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ could you say "male vache"?
@RPiAwesomeness English is your first language, so obviously it makes more sense to you
 
Steam Sales have begun, haven't they?
 
@GraceNote Am I missing something?
 
@Chippies Precisely
 
6:11 PM
A snowman breathing fire doesn't seem all that out of place.
 
That's a snowMAN.
 
@MadMAxJr and there goes my paycheck
 
Idk about french, but in Latvian, you can easily tell if a noun is male or female by asking a question "which cow?" "that cow"
and depending on gender, "that" will be replaced with the gender specific "that"
 
@GraceNote Ah, the pec flexing.
 
Yeah, probably. It just seems so random.
 
6:12 PM
and the wrong gender "that" will just sound wrong
 
@Frank lol
 
@GraceNote At least they avoided anything with snowBALLS
 
HALLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
 
Oh gosh no
 
@Batophobia you can only throw snowballs in pairs
 
6:13 PM
HAPPY DAY BEFORE YOU GAIN 40 POUNDS OF PIE AND TURKEY AND GO INTO A 48-HOUR FOOD COMA
 
Oh boy...Goat simulator is on sale
@spugsley Yay!
 
Happy day before I spend six hours on the highway..... yayyy......
 
Ooo...CS:GO is on sale. Is 50% off on that a good deal?
 
@spugsley I'm guessing it's the turkey day for the americans soon?
 
Oh steam...never change...
 
6:14 PM
yay, Steam sale!
 
@Chippies yup, tomorrow :3333
 
BUY ALL THE THINGS
 
@RPiAwesomeness anything over 5$ is too much, imho
 
OMG! And FTL!
 
Not seeing sales on mobile yet..
 
6:14 PM
@Chippies Can you get it for less?
 
@MadMAxJr check announcement tab
 
@RPiAwesomeness I got it for 5$, therefore everything over is too much
 
Watchdogs at half price? oooh
 
What about Gmod, does that ever drop below $7/$5?
 
O_o
 
6:15 PM
Crypt of the Necrodancer 40% off
 
Oh noes. This is bad. Very bad
 
@badp Still early access, though :/
 
@Chippies it wouldn't make sense, since the word specifically refers to a female bovine
 
6:16 PM
Oh, sure. They put all of the other CS titles at 75%, except for CS:GO
Botheration
 
@5pike In its current form it's a good game.
 
Steam Sales, best incremental
 
I wonder if the sale requires a two-key release system before Gabe can press the red button to start it all.
 
@Batophobia showing 1 - 25 of 5696
 
6:17 PM
What aboot Gmod? That ever go on sale for much below $9?
 
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ I know, replace the cow with any other noun. Is the La or Le the only thing that specifies the gender?
 
#volvoplz
 
as in, if it's a gender neutral word, can I say La noun and Le noun without actually changing the noun?
 
@badp I know, I know, but I don't want to get it before it's not complete.
 
lol, so I mis-read this:
 
6:17 PM
@5pike buy it now, play it when finished!!
 
And was all like Portal 2 for $0.98? O.O
 
Also the Stanley Parable is 70% off
 
@badp No
 
@Chippies it's an indicator, the noun at times will also reflect this (typically with an "e")
 
Kinda tempted by Goat Simulator...
 
6:18 PM
Because then I'm tempted to play it.
 
Can't beat that price
 
 
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ so, technically, you could tell the gender of the noun without the la/le, yes?
 
Daang brah
 
That's not how sales work Steam
 
6:19 PM
I mean, I guess you have to be able to, because how else would you know to put la or le...
 
@Chippies oui
 
Wolfenstein The New Order 50% off
(still too much for me)
 
Sigh. Portal 2. And CS:GO. And FTL. And Gmod. And...etc.
 
I wish steam would stop letting me know about sales on games that I already bought... on steam
 
6:21 PM
BoI rebirth 25% off. @fredley this is your chance to be one of us, gooble gobble gooble gobble.
 
Welp. There goes my rebate cards :D
 
@Sterno I get it. That's funny.
 
@RPiAwesomeness I'm happy I can't bring myself to give a damn about CS
 
enhanced steam is a great plugin
 
6:23 PM
@badp Eh, I'd only get it because that where all the tutorials are. I've already got CS:S - as a gift. Thanks @Powerlord :D
 
@3ventic Cheap as cheaper than free
 
@Chippies ooh, thanks
 
@3ventic So...you get paid to buy this? I might just go do that...
Methinks isthereanydeal.com is having issues...
 
@RPiAwesomeness Happens every sale, don't think you really get paid out, though.
 
@5pike Ah
 
6:25 PM
Still funny to see it still happening, though.
 
@RPiAwesomeness I mean, CS*
 
Oh, how nice, I can get FNAF for $5...heck no
 
@RPiAwesomeness FNAF is a "youtube game"... Just watch some videos and ... there you go
 
@5pike Exactly
It's so short and pointless...
No way I'd spend money on it
Okay, I can't load isthereanydeal.com. Anyone else able to?
Wut...CS:GO is M? Did not know that
 
@RPiAwesomeness I thought $5 was FNAF's list price
Besides, it was in a recent Humble Bundle.
 
6:29 PM
@Powerlord Still, NBD. I give no craps about that game any more.
 
@RPiAwesomeness You clearly haven't seen the mod where it replaces [insert character here] with YOUR MOM.
 
@Powerlord EGAD!
 
Papers Please 50% off
 
what is FNAF?
 
@badp Worth it. Got it in a bundle, though.
 
6:31 PM
@badp Glory to Arztostzka.
 
@OrigamiRobot Five Nights at Freddies
 
(which I probably spelled wrong)
 
@badp That game looks interesting...
 
@RPiAwesomeness I enjoyed Papers, Please
 
I'm watching Thor: The Dark World, and I've decided I'm going to ping @spugsley anytime Thor or Loki appear shirtless
 
6:32 PM
oooohhhh ohhhhhh. Hatoful Boyfriend 33% off /cc @PrivatePansy
 
@SaintWacko lol
 
@SaintWacko Why?
 
Dust An Elysian Tail 80% off.
 
@SaintWacko That movie was good, had its funny parts too
 
I don't know what Lovely Planet is, but it's €2.
 
6:33 PM
@SaintWacko Loki don't need to be shirtless. Just ping me whenever he's on screen and it'll have the same effect also I give zero fucks about Thor so how about double the Loki instead? ;)
 
@spugsley will do!
 
Oh what a surprise! Last day of the week and our receptionist is leaving early. Again.
 
@spugsley Tom Hiddleston is awesome
 
And I'm supposed to cover phones for her. Again. Despite it not being my job and I'm still expected to complete my normal work.
 
@Powerlord :P
 
6:35 PM
@RPiAwesomeness yes, I know. I run a Tumblr dedicated to him ;)
 
@spugsley Hehe.
 
obsession is unhealthy, spugs
 
and my 20+ fanfictions also agree :p
 
That one line (Loki: "Tadaaaaaa") in Thor: The Dark World made the movie for me. Granted, it was watched at Midnight, but it was still hilarious.
 
VVVVVV 75% off.
I'm going to assume that 8 out of 10 of those sales are going to be matched or beaten in the End-of-year sale though.
 
6:37 PM
@badp That's a good game, but I'm stuck at that one level with the moving platforms and the spikes :P
 
Anytime Loki was on screen and anything Loki did made that movie for me. All 10ish times I've seen it thus far
 
@spugsley He's such an amazing actor.
 
@RPiAwesomeness you couldn't have written a more generic description for a VVVVVV room :P
 
ugh I suck at platformers
 
@badp Okay, "Not as I Say"
 
6:38 PM
@RPiAwesomeness he is. I can't wait for the stuff that's coming out this year. Crimson Peak, High Rise, and I Saw the Light
He's da besttt

Q: How do I beat "...Not as I do"?

John the GreenI simply can't figure this one out. It's hard enough without trying to get Vermillion across, but with him...? How do I do it?

yeah it's an annoying room
 
Argh. Gmod needs to drop in price...
@badp I saw that :P
 
@RPiAwesomeness did you see Veni Vidi Vici?
 
@badp Uh...mighta...not sure
Oh, crikey. That's easier than I thought it was...
facepalm
I may be gaming again some time soon :P
 
6:42 PM
Should I do it guys? CS:GO + FTL + Goat Simulator? $15...
 
@badp Oh jeez, that one
 
the steam sort seems off. I sort by lowest price, it shows 9.99 ahead of 3.49
dammit I want to find games under $1
 
@badp Holy balls.
 
Yeah, that's not lowest price.
 
Aw...Gmod isn't for Linux? Dangit
 
6:46 PM
@Frank I hope you like content delivery networks
 
@badp Nope. Not subscribed to a single one.
 
i think the deus ex has some sort of paid placement, its top of the list for me too
 
@MattGiltaji But only on lowest price.
That seems...off.
 
ya
<3 steam reviews
 
To the un-trained eye, does this not look like (in French) you're saying the infant is for sale?
L'enfant est sale.
 
6:48 PM
> - Bought game on sale for $0.24
> - Installed game
> - Left it running to get 3 cards
> - Sold cards for $0.35, making $0.11 profit
> - Uninstalled game
> 10/10 would profit again
 
Noice mate
So, you get cards by having the game open?
 
ya I think so
 
Herm...
 
You don't even need to install the game to get cards
 
@5pike I noticed that

6:52 PM
@RPiAwesomeness gogogogo!
 
I'm gonna wait and see if Gmod/CS:GO drop more.
 
Looks like I gotta brave the grocery store today after all :O
 
@spugsley O.O
Not the grocery store!
 
I knowwww. I have in-laws coming on Friday
WAIT
I can go on Friday instead!
 
@spugsley ummm, grocery store on black friday? all the stuff will be gone
 
6:55 PM
fuck. That's why I wasn't gonna go on Friday

Q: How to block or ignore Real Name requests

NolonarOne of the PS4's most annoying features in my opinion, is the Real Name Request. I don't want to share my real name over PSN nor do I care about other people's real name, yet I frequently receive them - sometimes from the same people who probably forgot they sent me one already - and I'm getting ...

 
@spugsley Loki in prison!
 
Crikey, Assasin's Creed Unity ... $60. Ow

@RPiAwesomeness And not worth anywhere near that.

@spugsley O.o

Blood donated.
So if someone comes to Belgium and gets a blood transfusion for some reason, and then out of nowhere starts liking metal, it was my blood.
 
Is there metal in your blood?
cc @Wipqozn
 
@OrigamiRobot I'm pretty sure there is metal(some specific kinds anyway) in everyones blood. But I practically need music to be any kind of human-like.

(that metal is iron)
 
What about magnesium!
