user15026

@Wipqozn Yeah, the actual diamonding might take a bit longer. It's not always instant.

James

@agent86 lol

Wipqozn

I'd pin that, but I'm not a room owneR!

agent86

hah, suck it, clocks!

Wipqozn

7:00 PM

@agent86 ...I misread that at first

Yuki

@AshleyNunn So how are we going to do the singing? Just try to sync YouTube videos or something?

Wipqozn

okay, hometime!

clocks are hard.

and that img is from badp, who apparently is doing something more fun than posting his images in chat

Wipqozn

@Yuki I'm not sure what you're talking about, but their is a website for syncing youtube videos across computers. or something. google it. I don't remember.

anywyas, home time!

also, nice to see you in chat again... nemesis

also, home time!

StrixVaria

@Wipqozn I would edit the already-pinned message to link to that pic instead, but I'm not a mod.

user15026

7:02 PM

@Yuki That would work. I would have to resetup mumble, here, because it apparently broke at some point.

Grace Note

@StrixVaria Fixizzled.

Yuki

Apparently, this site synchronizes YouTube videos. (cc @AshleyNunn @Wipqozn)

user15026

@Yuki ooooh nifty

OrigamiRobot

@GraceNote You made him a mod?

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot Soon.

Yuki

7:04 PM

@AshleyNunn Wanna test it out?

Not sure if this links to the room I'm in.

Grace Note

@OrigamiRobot Not my station.

user15026

@Yuki I am working on getting mumble, but we can test the video!

Yuki

Okay, I put in the video. Don't know how to get it to play...

Arperum

@AshleyNunn Steam voicechat works pretty good too lately!

OrigamiRobot

@Yuki I love this movie.

Q: How do I sell my equipment for a better price?

I know that th trading skill increases the % of item's worth you can get in credits, but is there any other way to get more for a piece of equipment?

space-rangers-hd

Yuki

@AshleyNunn Turns out, I needed to restart my computer.

user15026

Yeah, works for me too, but i am in a skype call now, so I can't really do much with it atm

Yuki

All right.

user15026

I am excited that it works, though :D

Yuki

So, we got that part down.

Now we just need to get Mumble working!

user15026

7:12 PM

Working on that :)

user15026

waits for the download

OrigamiRobot

11 year old MLP fan hung himself due to being bullied. Survived, but may have brain damage

Sterno

Well, as a father, that's pretty much the most horrible thing I can think of.

RedRiderX

Oh my.

That's horrible

Sterno

Okay, actually, I can think of many horrible things, but would rather not.

RedRiderX

7:19 PM

I'm getting popups about some Chris Christe

Sterno

> If he was going to kill himself, why not kill the bullies first?

Yuki

@Sterno Wow...

Sterno

facepalm

Yuki

Also, did they not read the article?

OrigamiRobot

@Sterno You scrolled down too far!

Yuki

7:21 PM

> And Michael’s parents say that their son would not want them to be angry at his bullies because My Little Pony teaches tolerance with the motto “Friendship is Magic.”

user15026

Can you program in PHP? Do you wanna work for LibraryThing? PLEASE TELL ME.

Yuki

Granted, this is what his parents are saying...

Blem

RedRiderX

@AshleyNunn What is this thing?

user15026

@RedRiderX LibraryThing is looking for a fulltime PHP programmer. If you recommend them a person and they hire that person, then you get$1000 for books from the bookseller of your choice.

Yuki

7:22 PM

@AshleyNunn Well, I think I solved their programming test thing in time.

Granted, I don't know PHP.

RedRiderX

Hmm, they want someone in Portland or that could frequent Portland.

3ventic

I know PHP and I kind of need a job

OrigamiRobot

DON'T TELL @ASHLEYNUNN! TELL ME!

Yuki

I just used a simple while loop.

user15026

@3ventic Does the job in the link interest you?

user15026

7:23 PM

@OrigamiRobot Shush, first come first served :P

3ventic

I need to check

OrigamiRobot

@AshleyNunn I'll give you the books, I just want the glory.

user15026

@OrigamiRobot Too bad, robot

agent86

wtf, a humble sid meier bundle? if I didn't own it all already...

user15026

@agent86 Wait, what?

StrixVaria

7:25 PM

NYC will get either 3 or 30 inches of snow this weekend.

RedRiderX

wat

this is weird

agent86

@AshleyNunn humblebundle.com

civilization to the MAXX with two X'es because reasons.

Yuki

@StrixVaria Really? They're varying by an order of magnitude?

user15026

@agent86 I just want the one about trains

Yuki

Wow, Woodcutter Simulator 2013 is bundled under "Extreme Sims"?

RedRiderX

7:26 PM

@agent86 Hmm there are barely any mac games there forget linux/DRM free

Yuki

Well, I guess that works for varying qualities of "extreme".

Sterno

@StrixVaria At that point they might as well just say 0-30

Jason Berkan

I'm thinking $15 for Brave New World ain't a bad price.

user15026

There will be snow. It might suck.

OrigamiRobot

agent86

7:27 PM

@AshleyNunn railroads! is not particularly good, imho. it's a bit simplified and short compared to the railroad tycoon games it is descended from. it's cute, though, so there's that.

user15026

@agent86 I just like the idea of a game wherein I get to control trains.

user15026

I think that would be fun.

Sterno

Lots of snow = daycare closed = I take unpaid time off to watch the kid

:(

RedRiderX

@agent86 Also no alpha centauri. Am disappoint.

StrixVaria

@AshleyNunn Well have I got a deal for you

RedRiderX

7:28 PM

Just have to get it from GOG I guess.

agent86

@AshleyNunn yeah, it scratches that itch for sure. you might also consider railroad tycoon 2, or perhaps OpenTTD for that sort of thing. there are major "sim" elements in all of those games, though.

user15026

@StrixVaria It's so much money :(

OrigamiRobot

@Sterno Take her to work. Let her help.

Ullallulloo

MechWarrior Online gets first version of UI 2.0, Defensive Turrets, Doge, Weapon Rebalances, and more!

yay

Jason Berkan

@StrixVaria You should link to the $2,000 in DLC you can purchase for that game.

user15026

7:29 PM

@agent86 I tried OpenTTD, I wasn't really a fan.

Yuki

> WOW, SUCH HARDPOINTS! MUCH POTENTIAL, VERY 30% C-BILLS.

Wipqozn

@agent86 Railroad Tycoon 2 is so fantastically fantastic.

agent86

@Wipqozn RT3 is kind of painful by comparison, IMHO. Railroads is positively fisher price by comparison to either, though.

@AshleyNunn you might drop a buck on the bundle to get railroads then, it's quite a bit simpler, and fun, despite the shortness.

StrixVaria

@JasonBerkan I think that's for the 2013 version. I didn't see too much extra DLC for 2014.

agent86

@RedRiderX Pirates! is also missing. X-COM as well, although that's not "Sid Meier's X-COM" so

RedRiderX

7:31 PM

@agent86 Yeah Pirates would be nice too

I honestly never heard of this Ace Patrol thing

Jason Berkan

@StrixVaria That's possible. I just remember LessPop dropping the link on me at one point.

OrigamiRobot

@Ullallulloo When you make me click two links to get to the thing you link, I want to kick a puppy.

Ullallulloo

@OrigamiRobot :(

Jason Berkan

@RedRiderX Ace Patrol is pretty decent tactical game. I play it on my phone all the time.

Ullallulloo

It's in the comments too for people who can't see mwomercs.com due to filter or something.

agent86

7:32 PM

@RedRiderX ace patrol wasn't particularly good imho, I covered it in cult of the fiver 12/2013

StrixVaria

Oh, no, I found over $3000 worth of DLC for Train Simulator 2014.

I just can't link it directly.

agent86

the desktop port is pretty sadface, I ran into a couple of bugs, etc.

James

@Ullallulloo I need to start playing this again, I just never seem to have enough time.

Wipqozn

Also, clocks are awesome, @agent86, so don't you be bad mouthing them!

Feeds

StrixVaria has added Wipqozn to the list of this room's owners.

Ullallulloo

7:34 PM

Also, half an hour until everyone crushes my dreams again.

Wipqozn

I love clocks. When I get my own place I plan to have a bunch of clocks all over my apartment.

StrixVaria

@StackExchange @Sterno has failed us again.

agent86

@Wipqozn :(

fredley

@agent86 How long does it take for the results to come through?

Sterno

1 hour ago, by Sterno

Speaking of which, it's hard to change @Wipqozn's room ownership when he isn't in the room.

I was busy working when he entered!

I'll do my part now though.

Wipqozn

7:35 PM

@fredley It'll be almost immediate, provided someone has the program downloaded and ready to run the results.

agent86

@fredley I think the results are pretty immediate, although for the winners, getting the diamond takes some kind of manual effort and/or database propagation from what I recall.

Wipqozn

@badp usually does it, but he seems to be afk.

Stack Exchange

Sterno has removed Wipqozn from the list of this room's owners.

fredley

@agent86 Yeah

FEichinger

@StackExchange SO SLOOOOOOW!

agent86

7:36 PM

yes, badp has deputized me to post images in his stead, but he is the election enthusiast.

Stack Exchange

Sterno has added Wipqozn to the list of this room's owners.

3ventic

@Ashley I don't think it's for me

Sterno

I don't know. The fun of de-ownering @Wipqozn is wearing off.

Wipqozn

@Sterno Non-sense!

That just means you need to do-owner me harder!

RedRiderX

Sterno is confused about Wipqozn's room owner status

Sterno

7:37 PM

I'd rather watch @FAE deowner you.

agent86

hmm, humble store is sale-ing all the paradox interactive strategy games in case you're all sid meier'd out

Wipqozn

@agent86 mmmm paradox

OrigamiRobot

$15 for EU4 is well worth it.

Wipqozn

Holy snap, crackly, and pop. $15?!?!?!

Everyone must buy EU4. Even if you hate strategy games.

OrigamiRobot

I almost want to buy it again and give it to someone.

3ventic

7:40 PM

I already have it

agent86

I think I own EU3 and just could not wrap my head around it

3ventic

got it for $20 on the last humble sale

OrigamiRobot

But people here hate free things. Even free pizza.

FEichinger

Looking back at this election, one thing I'm really glad we managed to do was that all of the questionnaire posts are at score 0.

Fluttershy

@agent86 But... DungeonLand is F2P on Steam. <_<

3ventic

7:41 PM

@FEichinger I bet posting that just ruined it

agent86

played it a bit, went "ehh?" and then closed it down

FEichinger

@3ventic Well, it's now irrelevant, mere minutes before it closes. :P

3ventic

True

Fluttershy

@FEichinger Mine's still at 1! Ha!

Blem

15min!

FEichinger

Wipqozn

@Blem GET HYPED

agent86

spoiler alert: the winners are me, me, and also me. I will become quad-mod and rule with a 4-fingered fist.

OrigamiRobot

@Ullallulloo What are Hero and Champion Mechs?

3ventic

@agent86 That's not a spoiler alert, that's a plot twist

Fluttershy

Quad-mod is best mod.

Sconibulus

7:45 PM

is Ace Patrol a good game?

I was hoping for Alpha Centauri, as I've heard good things about it... already have Civ

Sconibulus

@agent86 Oh, oops, missed that one

agent86

@Sconibulus it goes for cheap on GoG occasionally, and includes the expansion (alien crossfire). it's kind of old at this point, though.

@Sconibulus np dude, stuff scrolls fast.

I think I still have the disc for SMAC. I'm old :(

I also have the disc for almost all of those games, at least those that came on discs.

Jason Berkan

7:47 PM

@agent86 I have my SMAC and SMAX discs. Such a great game.

agent86

imho, the even-numbered civ games are more polished, and the odd numbered ones are more experimental.

SMAC was sort of the "most experimental" of the civ games

Ullallulloo

@OrigamiRobot They're RL-money mechs. They get an XP or C-Bill boost, and they have special looks. Hero mechs have custom hardpoints, while Champion mechs are just standard variant hardpoints with popular loadouts preset.

OrigamiRobot

@Ullallulloo Boooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Jason Berkan

I still miss the creepy tech messages.

agent86

there were some creepy dudes in those factions, for sure.

mostly I miss the customizeable units

that game and master of orion had the best customization

Jason Berkan

7:49 PM

I never customized much, as that screen killed my computer back in the day.

3D rendering on a 486 processor.
