Psh there's fluffier and more adorable in that pic.

I'll get to it eventually. Eventually.

I'd hardly call her fluffy

She has frills

Frills are enough fluff.

That's like a 1/fluff, tops

But I need to stop stopping on games at the final dungeon. So let's see that I actually finish Vesperia first.

4:01 PM

Cyberconnect2, now there's fluff...

tweetmap for the Scottland vote

surprised there are nos at all

Polls before showed it about 50/50, leaning yes

Q: Exotic Bounties

I have stumbled upon an exotic bounty while playing Destiny....I did this after turning in various other bounties, both Vanguard and Crucible.... Does anyone know how these exotic bounties actually spawn? Like is there a specific number of bounties needed to be completed, or is it just luck based...

Q: Number of Exotic Bounties

I have just found an exotic bounty after turning in various other bounties, both Vanguard and Crucible, when I went to claim the bounty I had 3 different bounty choices...Does anyone know how many of these bounties there actually are? Meaning specific starting bounties not sub missions within the...

But still like 51%/49%

@Unionhawk what relaly? It's like 5:1 in those tweets which is far closer to what I'd expect

4:15 PM

@Lazers Are exotic bounties broad enough to require questions about specific aspects?

@GraceNote You're playing Tales games, finally?

I approve!

@Frank Yes! We finally found a copy of Vesperia which I had a great interest in but didn't think I'd ever get because our 360 is JP and our PS3 is NA and the English version only exists for the 360 and the revamp on the PS3 is JP only!

But then we found an NTSC-J version of the English 360 copy. So that won!

@GraceNote Yeah. That's why I won't be able to play Vesperia; I won't buy a 360 only for that game.

A shame, alas.

It's been really fun so far. Plus co-op is nice and fun.

So far, I've really enjoyed Xillia.

But Graces and the original, Phantasia, are my favorites.

user15026

I am on a roll today - hour into my shift and I have already been insulted and threatened in three different ways. :D

4:22 PM

@AshleyNunn Hopefully not super serious threats.

user15026

@Frank Nothing I can't handle.

@AshleyNunn You go girl!

@AshleyNunn So long as it's not serious. In cases like that, I like to go, "Yes, threatening me ensures you will get your way, but not really. Please continue."

user image

I may choose Claptrap for that skill alone.

You can play as Claptrap in the new game?

Interesting.

Not that I'll buy it, but still.

user15026

@Frank shrug they're gamblers, I am effectively anonymous, life is chill

4:29 PM

I am hungry. I should eat, but if I wait another hour and a half, I can just eat better food after work. I think I'll do that.

Why not both!!

@badp because money

I'll just eat an All-Brains bar for now.

Have twice as much money. That'll solve your problems.

@GraceNote No it won't.

@Wipqozn Maybe you shouldn't plow all of your money into new avatars

4:31 PM

@Wipqozn Are you a zombie or something?

The problem isn't that I lack money, but that I like to hoard money.

Because otherwise, that sounds awfully unhealthy.

@Wipqozn Your inner reptilian is showing, then.

@Frank It's possible made a typo, as unlikely as that sounds.

@Frank Yeah, same here

That sounds awesome

4:31 PM

@SaintWacko Claptrap buddies!

@Wipqozn FTFY

@Frank High five!

@SaintWacko I love you guys!

Come on, man, don't leave me hanging!

High five your best buddy!

high five

4:32 PM

Come ooooonnn

Just follow the soothing sound of my voice.

user image

@badp THank you! Such a pal.

@Frank Snrk

@Frank i had t double check @badp didn't edit that.

4:34 PM

Meanwhile in print media

Meanwhile on Twitter

@GraceNote One of Clatrap's skill trees is actually titled, "I love you guys!", and that's the end skill.

Ahha

@badp either it doesn't work in east asia or they just dont give a fuck

@Rapitor It's kinda sad that the only part of the world where the No's win over the Yes is London.

That said, Twitter popularity does not correlate with voting results, as the latest Italian elections have shown

Grillo's party was spamming all over Twitter, but they lost quite some ground in that bout.

I'm still an uninformed 'murican so I have no idea what's going on :D

all I know is scotland wants independence for some reason

4:43 PM

@Rapitor I think it's basically the same reason we did

Meanwhile on Stack Overflow

@murgatroid99 And us, and Australia, and India, and ...

Isn't the US the only country that got actual independence from the British Crown?

@badp No, much of the world has done that at some point

I didn't even though they weren't independent. I thought the UK was just the name of the region, like New England, or the middle east.

4:45 PM

eh, Canada and Australia AFAIK still are reigned by the Crown.

Canada Act 1982

The Canada Act 1982 (1982 c. 11) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that was passed at the request of the Canadian federal government to "patriate" Canada's constitution, ending the necessity for the country to request certain types of amendment to the Constitution of Canada to be made by the British parliament. The Act also formally ended the "request and consent" provisions of the Statute of Westminster 1931 in relation to Canada, whereby the British parliament had a general power to pass laws extending to Canada at its own request. Annexed as Schedule B to the Act is the text...

Scotland's probably going to join them

@badp I thought the commonwealth was more of a trade agreement than actual rule

I've read @Wipqozn complain about the Crown representative in Canada

or was it @Frank.

user15026

4:46 PM

@badp Yeah, we still have Crown related stuff

user15026

How it actually works is weird and nebulous as far as I understand it

@badp We still have a crown rep at Federal and Provincial levels. It is just a fancy party job now, though.

@FAE I linked this to my boss a few minutes ago, who was wondering something similar.

@badp Not I. I don't care.

> Elizabeth became Head of the Commonwealth and queen regnant of seven independent Commonwealth countries: the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan and Ceylon. [...] Today, in addition to the first four of the aforementioned countries, Elizabeth is Queen of Jamaica, Barbados, the Bahamas, Grenada, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Belize, Antigua and Barbuda, and Saint Kitts and Nevis.

4:49 PM

The country would go absolutely ballistic if the governor general did not just stick a stamp on every law Parliament passes.

@FAE that helped a lot. thanks

fair 'nuff

I'm not saying Scotland wouldn't be like that, eventually.

@Rapitor no prob!

Still, you're under her reign. :)

@JasonBerkan He is basically a rubber stamp, yeah.

4:51 PM

@badp Only if we allow it.

As far as laws are concerned, the UK government and the queen have no control here.

Speaking of which, Prince Edward is actually visiting here at the moment.

@Unionhawk <late>Oh yeah, I saw this video yesterday</late>

@JasonBerkan Dude, a province can't visit us, don't be silly.

Provinces don't work that way.

@Wipqozn Have you looked to the north recently? Do you see PEI?

@SaintWacko I can see an all Claptrap team just high-fiving all around.

@Frank That would be the most wonderful thing

5:00 PM

@JasonBerkan Let me take a look, just a sec.

Oh lord I don't see PEI! This is terrible.

@Wipqozn Don't worry. It'll come back; it always does.

It has to, since I plan to retire there.

@SaintWacko Especially with the I love you guys tree. It's meant for playing with friends. Four Claptraps running around with that tree maxed is going to be silly.

@Frank I am greatly looking forward to that

watching a playthrough of Hyrule Warriors makes me wonder why I've never played a Dynasty Warriors game... it looks so stupid fun

@SaintWacko I almost want to get this just to test out a four Claptrap party.

5:04 PM

@Frank Were you not planning to get it?

2 hours ago, by Frank

I'll probably wait until it's on sale, though, 'cuz reasons.

@Frank Ah

I have way too much other stuff to play and do right now.

And Beyond Earth is coming out, and that one is a day one buy.

user15026

I am so sleeeeepy today

user15026

Why is this happening

5:11 PM

@AshleyNunn Did you not sleep well last night?

@murgatroid99 You can get a religion upgrade that increases happiness by 0.5% per temple

@Chippies yeah, that's going to be a while

@murgatroid99 yeah, I just unlocked that upgrade, but it will take a while to get enough faith for it

Iron huts totally worth it

@Chippies I'm still struggling to build a temple, and it's taking forever to get the gears for steamworks+printing press

5:13 PM

@OrigamiRobot took my 10th hut price down from 19k to 5k

When are we going to get questions about Roundabout?

user15026

@Wipqozn I had a lot of coffee and then I was awake lake because aaaaa product launch and aaa exciting life things

user15026

so I guess not :P

at 13 huts though, next one is 40k...

5:24 PM

Not sure if we have any Planescape: Torments fans here.

I never played it myself, but I'll probably check this one out.

Also, TIL Pillars of Eternity is being released this year and there are videos of the gameplay:

@Wipqozn LPMF. Me. Hmm. The same people that are KoDP fans. Interesting.

@JasonBerkan Oh right, @LessPop_MoreFizz.

5:39 PM

Okay. That's shiny.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.

16 year old girl shoots gamer for his PS4

RPi Awesomeness

@Frank :P

erm

@Frank Yeah, heard about that yesterday, completely fucked.

RPi Awesomeness

5:43 PM

Isn't our world wonderful?

@RPiAwesomeness I don't see how that's funny at all.

I need help with this question title

user image

This is the question (how can I get that thing?) and I don't know how to write the title

RPi Awesomeness

@Frank It isn't. I'm sticking my tongue out...

It's super sad, especially when she's got a kid in the car with them.

@badp "Why is Wipqozn just so gosh darn handsome?"

RPi Awesomeness

5:43 PM

@Wipqozn Oooh no.

@Wipqozn the worst kind of handsome?

@badp Are you stuck?

No. I just want to get that thing.

RPi Awesomeness

@Frank Some people in this world are totally screwed up.

I believe this is the "II" cave (but not the second!) of the second area and that thing might have a name but I don't know any of the names.

5:44 PM

@RPiAwesomeness At least she's going to be tried as an adult, and her kid will be raised by someone not stupid.

@RPiAwesomeness I'm not sure how that's an appropriate reaction...

@badp do you have a grappling hook in that screenshot?

RPi Awesomeness

@Frank Yeah, that's good.

can you dig while using it?

@Chippies No.

5:45 PM

oh so you just took it mid-jump?

@badp PLZ HALP CANT GET THING!

RPi Awesomeness

@OrigamiRobot Okay....it was just a quick response. I wasn't trying to be anything about it.

@Chippies yeah

RPi Awesomeness

@Frank Lol, yeah :)

seems like you're attached to the wall and that thing in your item thingy on left looks like it could be a grappling hook

5:46 PM

Her boyfriend also needs jailtime as an accessory to murder.

@badp is there a way to dig blocks to left/right if there's no block to stand on?

What the hell is a sixteen year old doing with a handgun, anyways!?

user image

3

RPi Awesomeness

@Frank Exactly what I'm thinking...

@badp 10/10 would upvote

5:47 PM

@badp Would totally downvote.

@badp It's because you didn't use the proper image embedding syntax

RPi Awesomeness

@Wipqozn How in the world did they submit it?

@Chippies Only if you can get directly to the side or below or above to it and no further than 5 blocks away

@Frank could be boyfriend's or parents. she didn't really think anything through as she shot her boyfriend too.

RPi Awesomeness

@murgatroid99 Oh, possibly.

5:47 PM

user image

@Rapitor Either way, the stupidity is strong with this one.

RPi Awesomeness

@Rapitor Dear goodness this girl has a screwed up mind.

@RPiAwesomeness I was joking. That's an extremely low quality question

@Frank very much so

@badp I guess 5 blocks is better than 1 block early in the game

RPi Awesomeness

5:48 PM

@murgatroid99 lol, I have no clue w. all that :)

@Chippies Some of those caves have stuff that can only be obtained later in the game

@murgatroid99 Good to see mods aren't immune to the quality filters.

@RPiAwesomeness They didn't.

RPi Awesomeness

Manic Drive is coming out w. a new album! Yes!

19 hours ago, by Chippies

@GnomeSlice sell gun, buy ps4, profit? no one gets hurt, you get your ps4, everyone's happy!

5:48 PM

...and the game is making me go through all the caves again

so I should be able to deal with it now

I actually knew the victim... well not knew knew him... but he was a very popular Gears of War player

RPi Awesomeness

@Rapitor Dang...

@Chippies I was dancing last night.

@Frank oh I'm just repeating what I told Gnome without actually re-typing it

RPi Awesomeness

DANGIT OS X DOCK! STOP BEING SO EASY TO REMOVE ITEMS FROM :P

5:50 PM

@Chippies This would require rational thought and sound judgement.

I'm sure she won't get to play her ps4 in prison

Something a sixteen year old with a sixteen month old baby almost guaranteed doesn't have.

@Frank If I really wanted I could push it through

That is a valid argument

RPi Awesomeness

@Frank Yeah

5:51 PM

@badp can you submit a good question and then edit to be crappy?

♫

if you edit within the first few seconds, it doesn't say it was edited

RPi Awesomeness

user image

I declare we need some ultimate squee to purge our minds of this incredibly retarded tragedy!

@Chippies ~Mod Powers~

RPi Awesomeness

Or this one:

user image

5:53 PM

@RPiAwesomeness that thing's quite ugly

@RPiAwesomeness that one doesn't look healthy with those weird short legs

At what age does one possess the capabilities for rational thought and sound judgement while at the same time having a child?

@Chippies *5 minutes

RPi Awesomeness

@Chippies GASP! How dare you! You have insulted a squee-able thing.

However, your point about the legs is valid

@badp is that specified somewhere?

@Chippies Probably on MSE.

5:54 PM

@RPiAwesomeness if you want to post cute things, DO BETTER!

@OrigamiRobot It really depends on the person.

RPi Awesomeness

@Chippies That kitten is pretty darn cute I'd say

@RPiAwesomeness no, the legs ruin it for me

@Chippies 5 minute leeway

I feel sad for it

5:54 PM

I know an incredibly mature nineteen year old, who you'd swear was at least five years older.

0

Q: How can I collect this orb container thing in "World" 2, Cave "II"?

How can I mine that block in the "II" cave of the second area? It's late game (I'm about to enter the "III" cave of the third area) and I still can't figure out how I could get myself some more blue-thingies.

the front legs aren't even straight

↑ HALP

RPi Awesomeness

However, here's a supposedly cute thing...? Somehow...

@RPiAwesomeness Can you not use that term here please?

RPi Awesomeness

5:55 PM

@FAE Very well.

@Frank I used to play an mmo with a 14 year old who was more mature than majority of 20+ year olds on that game

RPi Awesomeness

dangit wierd links

@RPiAwesomeness Appreciated.

@RPiAwesomeness preface with ! and it forces to render as image

@Frank Right, so "almost guaranteed" is a pretty bold assertion, wouldn't you agree?

RPi Awesomeness

5:56 PM

user image

@RPiAwesomeness You can put a ! in front of a link to force it to... what @Chippies said

RPi Awesomeness

@Chippies Really? Cool :)

Weird Slug cuteness supposedly

Ah!

@OrigamiRobot That's why it's not an "obviously"

How much of a difference is there, really?

user image

This is a tiny snail I found Tuesday

RPi Awesomeness

5:57 PM

@FAE That's actually pretty cute

@OrigamiRobot From a zero chance to a very small, but not zero chance.

@RPiAwesomeness Yeah, he was on a counter inside, so I took it outside and put it in the bushes

RPi Awesomeness

@FAE You are a great animal savior, though definitely not a bug savior.

Sep 4 at 15:14, by FAE

@KevinvanderVelden Incidentally, looks like they're aphids. :( I'm gonna try to pick up and empty spray bottle thingie at Blokker or something tomorrow so I can put some soapy water in that to use.

@Frank I really don't think 99% vs 100% makes it much less of a sweeping overgeneralization.

@RPiAwesomeness They were killing my plant!

RPi Awesomeness

5:59 PM

@FAE Exactly! You are currently ahead in the humanity running.

@RPiAwesomeness lol

RPi Awesomeness

You are very nice to animals and plants. Bugs hate you. 2 > 1
