Off to see the doctor

Doctor why can't I get this steam game?

I have just played a game in which you are a roomba.

I want the last 10 minutes of my life back

12:09 AM

@kalina that sounds fun, what game is that?

At least it wasn't a roomba MMO

@MattGiltaji Robot Vacuum Simulator

@Brant Wait for a Steam Sale.

MBraedley

@kalina Do you get to chase around the pets?

The last two have been for 50% off, so roughly the same price.

12:10 AM

@MBraedley no, it was really quite disappointing tbh

only did it so I could answer this

Iszi

Hey, can someone remind me which sort of battery pack the Xbox 360 controller comes with out-of-the-box? Is it the integrated type, or the one that can take two double-As? I'm turning my 360 in to upgrade to a One, and don't want to give up the wrong charging pack if I can get more for it on eBay or something.

Most 360 controllers come with the AA insert pack.

Wipqozn

@Iszi Out of the box? Pretty sure it's the double A one.

I can't speak for the later gen ones.

@Iszi mine was the double a pack

12:11 AM

@SaintWacko I paid for elite subscription in Tera Rising for couple of months and I am pretty sure GW2 is sold through Digital River as well and I can't really complain

@Iszi at least the controllers "for Windows" versions come with the AA pack

> If you're English and you want to whine about the names your country gave the sport, then harden up and go play something with some contact in it.

HEAR HEAR

Iszi

That's what I thought. Couldn't imagine me actually buying the double-A pack deliberately, but just wanted to check.

Thanks, guys.

although I have heard of people buying GW2 and having to wait for hours, if not until the next day to receive their code

I wonder if there's a difference between how they process paypal payments and credit card payments

@kalina The things you'd do for reputation *shakes head*

12:15 AM

@Chippies fees and customer service aside, there's very little difference

@PrivatePansy psh, it's actually for the hat you get by being upvoted on an answer on a question with a bounty

@StrixVaria Going to read Elantris next. I've heard it's a little rough around the edges due to being Sanderons first book, but I want to read all the cosmere books before starting the STormlight Archives.

@ʞɹɐzǝɹ I just asked a friend who had to wait for several hours to receive his GW2 key and he used paypal linked to CC, which is what I used as well and it took me minutes

so I guess it's just random

unless they had done their background check for my paypal forever ago, because that wasn't my first interaction with DR

George Stinney

George Junius Stinney, Jr. (October 21, 1929 – June 16, 1944) was, at age 14, the youngest person executed in the United States in the 20th century. Stinney, an African-American youth from South Carolina, was convicted in a two-hour trial of the first-degree murder of two pre-teen white girls: 11-year-old Betty June Binnicker, and 8-year-old Mary Emma Thames. However, no physical evidence existed in the case, and the sole evidence against Stinney was the circumstantial fact that the girls had spoken with Stinney and his sister shortly before their murder, and the testimony of three police officers...

@ʞɹɐzǝɹ probably

badp

@SaintWacko no.

@Chippies I got my GW2 code immediately.

I did have trouble making it realize I was in Europe.

@badp I did too, on two separate occasions, 2 of my friends had to wait for several hours though

badp

@Chippies you bought two copies?

@badp one for me a year ago and one for wife recently

Aliens vs Predator (the 2010 version) is on sale for $2.99 on GMG

possibly cheaper with the discount code

12:33 AM

@Chippies is it good as the older ones?

@MattGiltaji are we including the nostalgia factor?

I played a pirated version when it was released and it was pretty good, if you like the AvP theme, otherwise it's a decent game

@Chippies nah, more like the fact that i was scared shitless playing the human campaign in avp2

the predator campaign is the best, obviously

the alien campaign can give you a vertigo, but is fun too

I hate human campaign, because fuck horror games

although I've read that human campaign is the best and longest

@LessPop_MoreFizz hardly, sleep is for the tired

@Chippies ugh they are making me do email verification before I can buy the game. such a pita

@MattGiltaji at least you'll be registered now and will be able to enjoy all the amazing deals they often have

@Chippies true dat

do you have a referral link or something?

12:52 AM

GMG has sales often that put steam seasonal sales to shame

and there's always a discount voucher available

nice

even for launch day games that aren't on sale you can often use 20-25% vouchers

@MattGiltaji I was just trying to make sure everything I cared about closed gracefully

@murgatroid99 And killall is graceful?

@SaintWacko killall is like kill: it sends SIGINT (I'm nearly positive) to all processes with the given name

That's about as graceful as you can get on Linux

1:27 AM

Deadpool movie confirmed for 2016.

Nope, it's SIGTERM

@murgatroid99 That's what I thought

Considerably less graceful :P

I've given up on Linux for now

I reinstalled it completely

It's still a signal, which can be handled by the process

Things still run slowly and poorly

I'm done

I'll try in a couple weeks

I still think it's an issue with the nvidia drivers

So maybe they'll update them

When I first started using Ubuntu, everything was wonderful

But ever since the fiasco with the drivers, no matter what I do, everything runs terribly

From my point of view, the best thing about Linux is programming on it

1:31 AM

@murgatroid99 one million percent agree

the toolchains on linux are fantastic

Also the programming environment (like the shell) and how it handles libraries and packages and stuff

yep

@murgatroid99 Yep, all of that is great

The other great thing is how it has stable 64 bit KSP

And how well PlayOnLinux works

@OrigamiRobot Should be happy I'm giving up on it, though

Also, I'm glad @kalina is back

There hasn't been enough fire around here in a long time

@SaintWacko huh?

The steam sale got me :(

@Ktash how much is the damage?

@MattGiltaji Steam uses Winter Sales on @Ktash's wallet. It is super effective!

@Lazers I'm afraid you're mistaken. We're not Gods, merely gamers

I love how the winter sale says you can "save thousands" - as if someone is planning to buy the entire catalog and actually save thousands

It actually says you can save on thousands of titles, unless we're looking somewhere different.

2:04 AM

Oh, on thousands of titles

I read that as "save thousands on titles from the catalog"

Even as someone who....overindulges....in Steam Sales, I agree saving thousands would probably be pretty insane. :P

TIL I have dyslexia

There probably are thousands of dollars of savings if you bought literally every game on sale

@OrigamiRobot Now I can install Elite

@SaintWacko \o/

Now we have to convince @TimStone

What about me? I want to feel the peer pressure love!

It's like a muliplayer paint program

I've also made a realm for the arqade

Still early days for that though

There can you visit that?

3:01 AM

@Unionhawk What is it?

I need to know

@OrigamiRobot What, what is the link, or what is the confirmed thing/mod?

The answer to the first is literally just Vechs' channel because I'm lazy

The answer to the second is intentionally unconfirmed because vechs is a jerk

damn, it took a long time to figure out how to copy blocks in this game...

Q: Can I choose which library to install a game to using the remote-download feature?

1

Steam has a remote download feature. When you're away from your computer, you visit your games page, click "download" next to a game, and (assuming your computer is on) it will start downloading. However, it always installs to C:\Program Files\Steam. C: is my SSD - I don't want games installed...

Ugh I should get the first OpenTTD tag badge, but I still need 5 more answers according to the system

We only know that the thing exists, and it is for a mod, and expect a minimally done map (themed areas with the mod incorporated no dungeons) by 12/25/14

3:08 AM

Why are we not playing one of these maps?

The dungeons will come later, made with love

I don't know, you tell me

Pick one

Curses

@OrigamiRobot Probably because I didn't buy Elite. It's not related, but it's probably why.

PSA: Don't be a jerk at Nintendo events.

Just, period.

It's Christmas time, assholes, don't be jerks now or ever.

I don't think @fredly can help being jerky if he's a pork chop

WORKING ON IT

@Unionhawk Not Sea of Flame II or Legendary

Okay, working on eliminating maps

Legendary was already gone from the standings

It's really long

Yea, we only finished half of it

3:18 AM

I'm thinking... #12: Inferno Mines, #3 Infernal Sky II, or #10 Spellbound Caves

I vote for Inferno Mines

Inferno mines is the newest, and should work okay with 1.8, it's a little difficult but lots of loot, Infernal Sky 2 is annoying in the sky but isn't too bad other than that and okay then that works

Inferno mines is designed for Minecraft 1.5.2, but, like I said, should work in 1.8 I think

Or everything might break and in that case 1.7 should be 100% fine

In fact, 1.8 has some netcoding issues iirc, so...

you tell me what to do

I assume I am hosting

Minecraft?

I don't have a setup for these things lol

The internet here likes to randomly drop for no reason

Which is a super awesome thing

3:24 AM

@RedRiderX Ew, I have to link an account?

Can't just create one for the site?

@Yuuki Yeah they don't have a way to register without it

It doesn't do anything with the account though, it seems like just an oauth thing like SE

@RedRiderX I don't like it either way.

@Yuuki Yeah me either

@OrigamiRobot Minecraft server 1.5.2 can be found myah, presumably that goes in some server-type folder or something and you'd just replace the contents of the 'world' folder with the contents of the unzipped map files I don't know how it works exactly

Yes, that is how it works

@spugsley WHEEEEEEEEE

@spugsley I'll have a @Wipqozn cheesecake.

Tomorrow is... what is tomorrow.

Don't know

Sunday is A Christmas Carol

Which is exciting

@Yuuki ugh, @Wipqozn flavor is the worst flavor

Aka probably be in a car with my brother and his girlfriend while driving home whee

That's going to get weird fast

3:35 AM

@spugsley, teach me how to punch people like you would punch a baby.

@Yuuki you just need rage. An unspeakable amount of rage. And I get that from babies. It's how I punch them so effectively

@spugsley Okay, I think I have the rage. Now I just need the nerve to punch jerks in public.

I have Attention Deficit Disorder. I get distracted easily because my head... shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes!

Just a tower full of different lounges

@OrigamiRobot are you running a challenge map?

Yes

@Ktash let me know how civ:be is, i've heard extremes in either direction

@RedRiderX i just found an xbox tv setup, lol

@MattGiltaji What I've heard so far is that it is just Civ V in space. And I loved Civ V, and I love space, so I'm optimistic

i need a place where i can dump cool tiles

3:47 AM

@Ktash do you want one of my mini cheesecakes? :3

they are cooling. I am so excite

@spugsley can I has (a pic), pls?

@spugsley OF COURSE I WANT... oh, cheesecakes? I thought that was going somewhere else. Yeah, I'd love some cheesecake, thanks :)

I'm almost out of ice cream other than vanilla, but you're always welcome to it

@Ktash they won't look special until the toppings go on in 2-3 hours :p (gotta go in the fridge to get all hard and cheesecakey after they cool)

@Ktash we can pool our resources :p

@spugsley Whether or not they look special, they are special because they are made by you

@Ktash they will look very special when I'm done :D I have so many toppings. All fancy-like

@OrigamiRobot it seems yummy

@ʞɹɐzǝɹ no, because @Wipqozn is the worst :D

@spugsley ok

@spugsley Yum. Sounds delicious

Really random question, anyone here use any search engine other than Google?

@Ktash me

@ʞɹɐzǝɹ What do you use?

@Ktash Ian uses Bing

@spugsley heh, that seems reasonable

4:08 AM

@Ktash Duck Duck Go, Wolfram Alpha, Mazoom, Izik

@ʞɹɐzǝɹ Alright. I'm really trying Duck Duck Go, but sometimes they just can't get the right results... :/

and Blekko

I want to like it so much

@Ktash it really depends on what you use it for

for programming I find it to be more useful than the industry leader

@ʞɹɐzǝɹ Sometimes. But if I'm outside the big stuff, I find it struggles a bit. Like if I have a weird random issue or if I'm working on something less known

Programming hasn't been so bad, it's usually the troubleshooting searches I've found lacking

Also, images results aren't always what I want. Seems to prioritize things oddly, imo

@ʞɹɐzǝɹ How does Blekko do?

4:19 AM

@OrigamiRobot I love it when my router decides to disconnect everyone and then not work
