@badp I've heard it's so bad that after the acquisition they're going to replace all of the live streams with one captured from John Malkovich's Google Glass. RIP Twitch.

Q: Cheats and suggestions for them

user3583166Ok guys. Today I wanna know if there are any cheats for tomodachi life. And I don't mean the useless cheats websites give you like "How to get group performances" or "how to unlock places" (just look at the locked places the bar says how!!!) I mean like getting special foods without streetpass, ...

 
Oh wow. The new interface of Chrome Beta is... not looking good
And if I say a redesign is not looking good...
 
Is that on a phone or tablet?
 
Nexus 7
 
Hmmm, weird. On my phone with the same aspect ratio the soft keyboard doesn't cover that much of the screen
 
12:14 AM
I'm not talking about the soft keyboard
The address bar is way too high.
 
Oh, yeah, that. The tab bar has always been there, right?
Other mobile browsers hide their tabs behind a button
My local telco has started a charity drive that allows users to pledge their unused minutes, SMS and data to charity
 
Yeah but now for some reason the tabs are angled and I'm not really a huge fan, although that's personal preference
 
FAE
@PrivatePansy That's cool. I'd have a ton of minutes to donate every month.
 
Chrome interface for comparison
 
Ah, they enbiggened the interface while simultaneously making the font smaller

Want to join the #Destiny beta? You no longer need a pre-order on #PS4 or #PS3. ENJOY! http://www.pushsquare.com/news/2014/07/feature_the_ps4_destiny_diaries_day_five_wasting_inordinate_amounts_of_time_at_the_tower http://t.co/eh68tkgwrk
@badp horizontal phone keyboard of sadness
 
Why not use the tablet split keyboard, yeah?
 
I just use vertical keyboard + swype on both phone and tablet
no swype on surface but I've found it's virtual keyboard to be...well, servicable
 
You have a Surface? Which one?
 
Surface Pro 3
 
12:23 AM
@PrivatePansy lol
 
FAE
@BenBrocka Do you have paid swype?
 
I didn't realize it did that
yeah, on android
 
FAE
Horizontal mode will let you set it to either the left or the right
so it's closer to whichever finger you're swyping with
 
eh it'd still feel weird. Barely use the tablet anyway, especially since I got the Surface
 
FAE
@PrivatePansy Ah, swiftkey. I wish I could use that nicely on the tablet (Jochem uses Swiftkey, I use Swype) but my thumbs aren't big enough. :S
 
12:25 AM
How is the Surface? What do you use it for?
 
Laptop and tablet replacement. It's great, though the battery life varies, andi t gets a bit warm in video playback. Also wish it had a better place to store the pen
 
It still uses the charging port to do that? Hmmmm
 
General feel and performance is great though. I've also heard Chrome is hard on battery. Not sure I'm willing to use IE to see if it fixes it though
chrome canary is much better than standard chrome on it though
no, it attachees to a loop on the typecover, in a pretty cheap way
it's a little stick-on loop, seems to stay secure but I'm baffled as to why it's not physically a part of the typecover
 
@BenBrocka I believe that has something to do with this arstechnica.com/gadgets/2014/07/…
 
typecover and pen are great though, surprised how good the keys feel
about on par with my lenovo x200 tablet, which had keys about as thick as the typecover itself
I'm not sure how it's physically possible for the keys to have as much travel as they do
Glad they killed touchcover, no way was it acceptable quality. They need to bundle the typecover with it though. It'd be silly to buy one without it
 
12:35 AM
Wooo!
 
I got that too...I don't recall ever using the app though
didn't realize they did DRM free stuff though, that's great in general
 
FAE
@PrivatePansy Nice!
 
@BenBrocka this
 
@BenBrocka It's new. Previously all their content have DRM. Also, this release only applies to comics from certain publishers
 
If you use a Dual Shock 4 on PC or want to, DS4Windows seems way better than DS4 tool so far http://m.neogaf.com/showpost.php?p=121422052&postcount=680

They call it "back-up", because they believe their app provides a better reading experience than plain PDF or CBZ
Which is true, actually

user15026
I should rectify that.

@AshleyNunn We're gonna drill some holes into it, so I can pose my Phenex on it, and it will really be the centerpiece of my display.
 
user15026
3:15 AM
@Frank Super cool. There better be pictures
 
@AshleyNunn There will be!
I just finished cleaning up the last of the nub marks.
 
user15026
Yaaaaaaaay. :D
 
Next up: either add the water slides to the parts, or do a test build. See if I need to deepen the blue for the psycho frame.
Either way, the psycho frame is going to get sparkles.
 
user15026
@Frank oooh yay sparkles
 
@AshleyNunn It's the same stuff I used on the Banshee. It really gives the psycho frame some depth, and makes it stand out.
 
user15026
3:25 AM
@Frank very cool!
 
For our display next month, I think someone else is going to bringing a straight build of the same kit, so it'll be awesome to be able to compare the two.

That will be super neat

Oh god, that airplane mode tip...
If you're going to do that why not just turn your bloody phone off
 
@PrivatePansy It's also a complete lie right?
 
Well, no, your phone would charge faster, though definitely not twice as fast
It's just that your phone won't actually function as a phone if you turn that on
 
@PrivatePansy Yeah, data seems to suggest maybe 5-10% faster
No wait, more like 2%

To be quite honest I feel a bit overwhelmed by moderator's tool. I've read the priviliege page on moderator's tool and some things...

 
9:40 AM
@fredley some engineers i know did some math on this and results where with a normal charger you could expect about 10% faster charging by setting it in fly mode and about 20% faster by turning it off.
a better solution would be to get a more powerful charger than the standart usb power
 
@Blem 2A chargers are the best

for some reason I feel like this is something that @LessPop_MoreFizz would really enjoy.
@KevinvanderVelden That's pretty rad.
 
@Wipqozn On the subject of ordering books and stuff
 
@Wipqozn it's pretty easy to find gifts to give to my parents when all three of us have the same taste in books ^,^
 
This is the opening of the next Godzilla movie.
 
@PrivatePansy I'm surprised it wasn't all MLP stuff.
 
11:10 AM
@Wipqozn I've, uh, ordered all the MLP stuff that I could from Amazon already
 
@PrivatePansy Oh you
@KevinvanderVelden Speaking of things which @AUTOGAMICADBOT hates...
suspense
 
On the other hand, Amazon is being a dick by grouping a pre-order for a book that came out last month with a pre-order for a book that's coming out in September
 
I didn't ping him! I'm innocent

Q: Usb Hub problems on the Xbox 360

GabeI got a Usb Hub on my Xbox 360slim, so that i could have more space. How come neither of flashdrives showed up on the any of the storage devices. I would like to kbow quickly. Thank you

 
@AUTOGAMICADBOT: You'll love me for this, and then hate me for this.
I took those pictures just for you.
 
Why are your socks on the worktop?
 
@DanHulme I keep a spare pair of socks at work in case my socks get wet. They did, so I put on my spare pair, and the pair I wore into work is on my desk.
 
@Wipqozn ew
 
Those books won't arrive until August 5th at the latest, which would be horrible, but if my past experience with chapters is any indication then I'll probably have them by next week.
@fredley Fine
FINE
There, they're off the table!
ARE YOU HAPPY NOW
HAVE I PLEASED YOU BRIDGE
ARE YOU SATISIFIED
 
11:20 AM
Did you know that you can buy My Little Pony blankets, bedsheets, posters and jewelery on Amazon? In addition to the DVDs (no Blu-Ray, though Amazon Germany do sell those), comic books (individual issues, volumes and omnibus edition), plushies (from at least three different vendors), collectable vinyl figurines, playsets, brushables, and chapter books
 
I hope you wiped the desk after taking your wet socks off it
 
@DanHulme Those were clean socks.
 
@Wipqozn what is that and why do you have socks on the kitchen table?
 
@Blem It's my work desk, not a kitchen table.
I keep peanut butter at work, and also a spare pair of socks.
 
if they're clean socks I'd hate to see your dirty socks
 
11:22 AM
@DanHulme It's just the lighting.
 
@Wipqozn Yes ;-)
 
@Wipqozn Dirty, dirty lighting
 
And also the fact they're wet.
@PrivatePansy It's shadows. Shadows I tell you!
 
Wet and filthy
 
11:23 AM
My plan to mess with @AUTOGAMICADBOT has backfired horribly.
 
When has @Wipqozn ever done anything right?
 
This must have been how @RedHamsterX felt after he posted that porn video in chat.
 
@StackExchange that looks wrong, should the 2 names not be switched around?
 
@Blem Normally, yes.
 
11:25 AM
@Wipqozn Ugh, gross
 
I just hope those books arrive before I finish Dune. I'd hate to need to wait a few days to read a new book.
@AUTOGAMICADBOT I can't tell if your reaction is to the socks or the peanut butter.
This is the worst. I should delete my account.
 
@Wipqozn I don't think I've seen @Red since that incident. Did he ever recover?
 
@fredley He's been back.
 
better yet you should delete those socks
 
@Wipqozn I see no peanut butter in that picture.
 
11:27 AM
@AUTOGAMICADBOT Oh, zeus damn it.
@DanHulme Well, they are a couple years old.
 
I don't know. Those socks look pretty dirty. Might be peanut butter smeared on them.
 
I hate my life.
okay I need to take a picture of one of my new pairs now.
okay, new picture incoming.
I must look really strange to my coworkers right now, since I'm taking pictures of my feet.
 
The first few google hits for "dirty socks" are roughly comparable to yours. Congratulations!
 
I am not wearing socks at all
 
and I suspect the explanation of "I'm showing people on the internet my socks" wouldn't help make it less weird.
 
11:30 AM
Sometimes I walk around the office in bare feet

What kind of strange, sad life do you lead where internet strangers can goad you into taking pictures of your socks on your feet in your office?

11:31 AM
Also, do you work in a cave?
 
@Sterno We always have the lights off in the dev office.
 
@Sterno His last name is Cave, so yes
 
@AUTOGAMICADBOT ONE DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY MAKE THE OTHER TRUE
 
@PrivatePansy An awesome life!
...right?
 
11:32 AM
@Sterno Isn't that why people have last names?
 
It's so nice to be able to response to @OrigamiRobot now in all caps and not have his name ruin it.
 
I've never had an attempted joke backfire so horribly.
 
I shouldn't be @AUTOGAMI right now, I just never changed it back yesterday because I wasn't home
 
This day will forever live on in my memory as one of PURE SHAME
 
Plus I can still see your extra dirty socks laying on the floor. So now we've had a double-dose of their awfulness.
 
11:33 AM
@Sterno And now they look dirtier
 
@AUTOGAMICADBOT They really do.
I swear it's the lighting. I swear on @agent86.
 
You sure the yellowness is not caused by peanut butter?
 
Yeah, I should probably delete my account.

@Wipqozn Okay, how about custard then? Did you step into custard this morning?
There's no shame in that. I step in custard all the time. Okay, maybe not all the time. Just this one time...
 
@PrivatePansy the only thing I know about custard is that it was on Doctor who once.
also that it's all people from the UK eat.
Pretty sure @fredley starts everyday with a bowl of custard.
 
11:40 AM
@Wipqozn Well, no. I'm sure people in Britain eat scones too.
 
@Wipqozn Gravy
 
but never scones and custard
 
@DanHulme Scones with jam
 
@fredley and cream
 
@DanHulme What? My entire life has been a lie!
 
11:41 AM
or cream and jam, of course
 
Custard is poured over other deserts, mainly sponge-based ones
Custard is a staple of institutional puddings
 
such as the spongara desert
yeah, school custard is awful
I still hate custard years later
 
This is how custard works
It is essentially a condiment
 
It looks gross.
 
(Hence the oddness of eating a bowl of it)
@Wipqozn It's actually pretty nice
 
11:43 AM
@fredley Your face is pretty nice1
Oh buuurrrnnn
 
it's nicer than "biscuits in gravy" by a long way
 
@Wipqozn nice1
@DanHulme That is not a thing
 
the Americans have it
it's their punishment for not eating custard
 
And for not knowing what biscuits are
 
@DanHulme That sounds disgusting.
 
11:44 AM
the "biscuits" are like a cross between scones and rock cakes
 
@DanHulme So stale scones then?
 
yeah, hard ones that don't crumble, with no fruit
 
@DanHulme eugh
 
and the gravy is a sauce beyond my capability to describe
and they eat it for breakfast
 
uuuggghhhh, I want my books to arrive now.
 
11:46 AM
in between courses of "pancakes" and syrup
 
Waiting for things is the worst.
 
stop that
 
@Wipqozn eeeeeeeeebooks
 
I want my lunch now
 
11:49 AM
@fredley Physical books are better though.
I just want them to arrive before I finish Dune.
 
@Wipqozn Lieeeeeeeeebrarieeeeeeeeeees!
 
@PrivatePansy But then I don't own the books.
 
@Wipqozn Nope. Ebooks are lighter, arrive faster (seconds!), have adjustable type, can be read in the dark, etc. etc.
 
also the library selection in nova scotia is terrible.
all of our libararies suck.
@fredley but I like the feel of a physical book. also I like putting them on a shelf.
 
yeah, I was discussing this the other week
 
11:51 AM
@Wipqozn Solution: Move to somewhere where the libraries don't suck. Somewhere near @AshleyNunn, perhaps. *hint hint nudge nudge*
 
@Wipqozn I hate putting them on the shelf, they take up so much space! I hate the feel of physical books, having to hold it in a funny way to stop it from closing on itself and losing my place.
 
ebooks don't have an equivalent of ogling someone's bookshelf when you visit their home for the first time
 
A book shelf is an awesome thin.
 
@DanHulme Quite!!!
 
@fredley Your preferences are different from mine, and that's okay, so long as you realize that you're wrong.
 
11:53 AM
@Wipqozn I agree, they're nice decorative objects (if you have the space), but I wouldn't want to read off of one.
@Wipqozn ditto
 
I can see the appeal of eBooks, and I have considered eReadering it up, but then I think about something else. Namely my beautiful book shelf.
 
Also physical books are cheaper.
wait, what
 
you can't buy ebooks for like 50p from Oxfam
 
eReaders only cost $50?
 
11:54 AM
@Wipqozn No they're not, in most cases, in the UK at least
 
@Wipqozn That is actually true here
 
I thought eReaders cost $400, and were thus a complete waste of money.
 
Custard is more disgusting than @Wipqozn's socks.
 
@Wipqozn Nope
 
@Sterno I hate you so much.
 
11:55 AM
@Wipqozn Tryyyy onneeeeeee
 
@Wipqozn waste of money is a waste of money regardless of price
 
@Chippies That's... not how it works
 
@fredley I was referring to the cost of the Reader itself, didn't realize they were only $50.
 
@Wipqozn ebooks are cheaper than dead trees in this country
 
I'd actually consider getting an eReader now.
I won't mind you, but I'll consider it at least.
It is tempting, but I like my physical books.
 
11:56 AM
@fredley Pretty sure that is exactly how it works. If you throw 5$ in the river or 500$, it's a waste of money either way
 
mornin folks
 
sure, it's less money wasted if you waste less money, but it's still a waste
 
As you get super old like me, you realize eReaders have the added benefit on not filling your house full of actual physical books, which might seem cool but mostly just wastes space.
 
@fredley Where do you live where digital bits and bytes which cost nothing to duplicate cost less than physical dead tree pressed, printed and bound with glue?
 
@Sterno @fredley already pointed that out.
you guys are making eReaders sound attractive though, for which I hate you all.
 
11:57 AM
Do you have unicorns and rainbows and subsidised healthcare in that place where you live too?
 
@Wipqozn As you get old like me, you don't read everything in chat.
 
@Sterno London resident here, space is too expensive to fill with things I'll never touch again
 
@Sterno well be ashamed.
I hate you guys. Now I want an eReader.
but I refuse to buy one! For now.
I want my physical books.
